Identifying a set of influential spreaders in complex networks plays a crucial role in effective information spreading. A simple strategy is to choose top-r ranked nodes as spreaders according to influence ranking method such as PageRank, ClusterRank and k-shell decomposition. Besides, some heuristic methods such as hill-climbing, SPIN, degree discount and independent set based are also propose...

PREMISE OF THE STUDY Positional cloning in combination with phenotyping is a general approach to identify disease-resistance gene candidates in plants; however, it requires several time-consuming steps including population or fine mapping. Therefore, in the present study, we suggest a new combined strategy to improve the identification of disease-resistance gene candidates. METHODS AND RESULT...

Rumor is a kind of social remark, that is untrue, and not be confirmed, and spreads on a large scale in a short time. Usually, it can induce a cloud of pressure, anxiety, and panic. Traditionally, it is propagated by word of mouth. Nowadays, with the emergence of the internet, rumors can be spread by instant messengers, emails, or publishing. With this new pattern of spreading, an ISRW dynamica...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the effect on snoring of structural nasal valve dilatation with butterfly spreader grafts in patients with nasal valve insufficiency. DESIGN Retrospective medical chart review and telephone follow-up; mean +/- SD follow-up time, 20.7 +/- 11.34 months (range, 3-48 months). SETTINGS Tertiary care referral center. SUBJECTS A total of 37 snoring patients with nasal valve...

To successfully implement a packaging concept, it is imperative to resolve many challenging issues related to materials and processing, which will result in improved thermal management of the power electronics modules. Almost every parameter of a power device is a function of temperature. The heat generated by these active devices, which reduces circuit efficiency, may also degrade circuit perf...

Spreader beams used in lifting operations undergo a purely compressive load to spread apart the ends of sling which enables large payloads be lifted from single point, such as crane hook, without damage. A modular spreader beam can made using subcomponents different standard sizes create any length, making them more versatile and cost-effective than non-modular beams. However, while manual calc...

Indonesia sebagai negara dengan penduduk berusia 15-44 tahun sebanyak 46,87% dari total penduduk, terdapat lonjakan kasus positif COVID-19 yang mencapai 797.723 per 7 Januari 2021. Kelompok usia muda diduga menjadi kelompok penyumbang infeksi tanpa gejala atau asimtomatis. Pasien asimtomatis umumnya tidak menyadari bahwa mereka berpotensi untuk menularkan SARS-CoV-2 penyebab COVID-19. Penulisan...
