The idea of creating a single transport and logistics network infrastructure with neighboring countries and regions – the Silk Road Economic Belt (SREB) and the Maritime Silk Road (MSR) - was first announced by Chinese President Xi Jinping in autumn 2013 during his speeches in Astana and...

TiO 2 as one of critical anode materials for sodium ion batteries (SIBs) has excellent characteristics such as low cost, high safety, small volume expansion and high packing density. However, low conductivity and poor sodium ion diffusion ability prevent it further applications in SIBs. Thus,...

By means of a visibility graph, we investigate six important exchange rate series. It is found that the series convert into scale-free and hierarchically structured networks. The relationship between the scaling exponents of the degree distributions and the Hurst exponents obeys the analytical...

Recent works show that complex network theory may be a powerful tool in time series analysis. We propose in this paper a reliable procedure for constructing complex networks from the correlation matrix of a time series. An original stock time series, the corresponding return series and its...

The de-trended cross-correlation analysis (DCCA) is converted to a new form, which turns out to be a periodic function modulated power-law, to evaluate discrete-scale long-range cross-correlation between time series. If the modulator is dominated with one frequency, the derived form will...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the possibility that design research involving a series of actions is an appropriate approach to memory place-making. It tries to explore how memory expressed in public space and how memory place becomes an agency system and re-organize fragments...

The paper examines the potential of deep learning to produce decision support models from structured, tabular data. Considering the context of financial risk management, we develop a deep learning model for predicting whether individual spread traders are likely to secure profits from future...
