Motivated by an evolving model of online bipartite networks, we introduce a model of weighted bipartite evolving networks. In this model, there are two disjoint sets of nodes, called user node set and object node set. Edges only exist between two disjoint sets. Edge weights represent the usage...

This study examines mode choice behavior for intercity business and personal/recreational trips. It uses multinomial logit and nested logit methods to analyze revealed preference data provided by travelers along the Yong-Tai-Wen multimodal corridor in Zhejiang, China. Income levels are found to...

In this paper, we look at how the pre-crisis health of banks is related to the probability of receiving and repaying TARP capital. We find that financial performance characteristics that are related to the probability of receiving TARP funds differ for the healthiest (“over-achiever”) versus...

A dynamic weight evolution network with preferential attachment is introduced. The network includes two significant characteristics. (i) Topological growth: triggered by newly added node with M links at each time step, each new edge carries an initial weight growing nonlinearly with time. (ii)...

The first-principle theoretical studies about the effects of the electric field and oxygen vacancies on the structural relaxation of rutile titanium dioxide and the impacts of the relaxed structures on the capacitor-voltage curves are reported. The results show that oxygen vacancies in the same...

Psychologists have established that task complexity, gender, and group identity affect conformity rates. We test the effects of these variables in contribution games. Our experiments consist of two parts: a public goods and a dictator game, both are played once. After subjects make their initial...
