In this paper, a new kind of complex network model named multi-radius geographical spatial networks is proposed. We investigate statistical characteristics of this model and then map wireless sensor networks (WSNs) to it based on an efficient mechanism of broadcasting radius adjustment. Analysis...

A critical issue in wireless sensor networks (WSNs) is represented by limited availability of energy within network nodes. Therefore, making good use of energy is necessary in modeling sensor networks. In this paper we proposed a new model of WSNs on a two-dimensional plane using site...

In this paper, we consider a pair of homogeneous diseases spreading concurrently on uniform networks based on the SIS model. A new model describing the transmission process of the interacting diseases is established. The influence of the transmission parameters, the interacting parameter and the...

This paper investigates the impact of non-recourse vs. recourse mortgages on housing price dynamics in major US metropolitan statistical areas for the period from 2000 to 2013. We find evidence that non-recourse states experience faster price growth during the boom period (2000-2006), a sharper...

Using UK unit trusts data, we analyse the interplay among fund performance, flow changes, portfolio characteristics and managerial replacement. We find that managers with superior performance that is due to sample variation are more likely to be dismissed than are ‘unlucky' managers indicating...

This paper investigates the impact of the non-recourse vs. recourse mortgage on the housing price dynamics in American major metropolitan areas (MSAs). We find strong evidence that non-recourse states experience faster price growth during the boom (2000 to 2006) as well as sharper price drop...
