A simple deterministic algorithm for community detection is provided by using two rounds of minimum spanning trees. By comparing the first round minimum spanning tree (1st-MST) with the second round spanning tree (2nd-MST) of the network, communities are detected and their overlapping nodes are...

In this paper, we propose a simple random network model with overlapping communities controlled by several parameters, and investigate the influence of the overlapping community structure on the synchronization behavior under different parameters. It is found that the synchronizability of the...

This paper presents a model to quantify the impact of electric power outages on GDP by using Cobb-Douglas production function to develop an economic relationship between the reliability of the electric power supply system and the cost of electric energy unserved. Our findings show that average...

There is currently a paucity of research examining changes in the structure of household energy consumption in rural areas of northern China. Here, we thoroughly analyze household energy consumption in terms of energy sources and energy end-uses in villages of Huantai County from 1989 to 2005....

Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy was used to study two kinds of broad beans with white and green cotyledons respectively. The results show that the infrared spectra of the two kinds of broad beans are similar and mainly made up of the absorption bands of protein, and...

Social and economic development in Jiangsu of China requires increased energy supplies. The total energy used was 81.0 MTce in 1995 and about 80% of it is coal. The energy demand per 10 000 yuan GNP was 2.45 Tce. Jiangsu has become one of the most severely polluted provinces in China and...

In this paper, citrus brown spot, huanglongbing, canker, fuliginous, cercospora sp. and healthy leaves were studied using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) combined with statistical analysis. The results showed that the spectra of the samples were similar, whereas there were obvious...
