How to control the cascading failure has become a hot topic in recent years. In this paper, we propose a new matching model of capacity by developing a profit function to defense cascading failures on artificially created scale-free networks and the real network structure of the North American...

Within an one-dimensional tight-binding model, we investigate the inelastic scattering processes of oppositely charged polarons in conjugated polymers under the influence of an external electric field, by using a nonadiabatic evolution method. It is found that the polaron pair does not...

In this paper, we investigate cascade defense and control in scale free networks via navigation strategy. It is found that with an appropriate parameter a, which is tunable in controlling the effect of degree in the navigation strategy, one can reduce the risk of cascade break down. By checking...

A simple formula for correlation energy E<Subscript>c</Subscript> of the π electron systems is obtained under an approximation for the electron-electron interactions. This formula is related directly to square of the bond order matrix and the nearest-neighbor Coulomb electron-electron interaction. The influence of...</subscript>

We study heat conduction in a one-dimensional disordered anharmonic chain with arbitrary heat bath by using extended Ford, Kac and Mazur (FKM) formulation, which satisfy the fluctuation-dissipation theorem. A simple formal expression for the heat conductivity κ is obtained, from which the...

Combustion and emission characteristics of rapeseed plant oil (RSO) and its blends with diesel fuel have been investigated in a multi-cylinder direct injection diesel engine. Plant oils have high viscosities compared to diesel and this affects the performance and durability of automotive diesel...
