We consider a procedure for generating clustered networks previously reported by Newman [Phys. Rev. E 68, 026121 (2003)]. In the same study, clustered networks generated according to the proposed model have been reported to have a lower epidemic threshold under susceptible-infective-recovered-type network epidemic dynamics. By rewiring networks generated by this model, such that the degree dist...

We demonstrate that both the kT and threshold resummations can be performed in the Collins-Soper resummation formalism by evaluating soft gluon emissions with infrared cutoffs for the longitudinal and transverse loop momenta, respectively. The reason the kT resummation for a parton distribution function leads to suppression in the large b region, b being the conjugate variable of the parton tra...

An explosive percolation transition is the abrupt emergence of a giant cluster at threshold caused by suppression growth large clusters. In this paper, we consider information entropy cluster-size distribution, which probability distribution for size randomly chosen cluster. It has been reported that does not reach its maximum in models, result seemingly contrary to other previous results shows...

In development of a speaker verification system, a priori threshold estimation is often needed based on a training set for decision making. Such a threshold critically determines performance of a speaker verification system. From a statistical viewpoint, a speaker's voice could be modeled by a certain distribution. Thus, data for training are only some samples of this distribution in a subspace...

Experiments 1 and 2 compared, with a single-stimulus procedure, the discrimination of filled and empty intervals in both auditory and visual modalities. In Experiment 1, in which intervals were about 250 msec, the discrimination was superior with empty intervals in both modalities. In Experiment 2, with intervals lasting about 50 msec, empty intervals showed superior performance with visual sig...

Randomly distributed offset charges affect the nonlinear current-voltage property via the fluctuation of the threshold voltage above which the current flows in an array of a Coulomb blockade (CB). We analytically derive the distribution of the threshold voltage for a model of one-dimensional locally coupled CB arrays and propose a general relationship between conductance and distribution. In ad...

BACKGROUND Cardiac output is effectively redistributed to working muscle by regional changes in vascular resistance. However, there has been no suitable method to quantify blood flow distribution to large working and nonworking muscles involved in ergometer or treadmill exercise. METHODS AND RESULTS To quantify the redistribution of blood flow, we compared thallium activity in a bicycle pedal...
