In reality, many real-world networks interact with and depend on other networks. We develop an analytical framework for studying interacting networks and present an exact percolation law for a network of n interdependent networks (NON). We present a general framework to study the dynamics of the cascading failures process at each step caused by an initial failure occurring in the NON system. We...

cultural world is a network of presuppositions which is intuitively present behind the consciousness of iranian thinkers like an indisputable, unanalyzable, general background. this network of constructive rules forms the modern iranian political discourses which are studied in this paper in terms of progressivist, identity-seeking, and contemporary political discourses. each of the above polit...

For three rather diverse applications (truck scheduling for inter warehouse logistics, university-course timetabling, operational train timetabling) that contain integer multi-commodity flow as a major modeling element we present a computational comparison between a bundle and a full linear programming (LP) approach for solving the basic relaxations. In all three cases computing the optimal sol...

The emerging Peer-to-Peer (P2P) model has become a very popular paradigm for developing Internet-scale systems. The BitTorrent is an example of P2P system for sharing resources, including files and documents. Owing to the peer does not have the capability of locality aware, it cannot differentiate its neighbors belong to which Internet Service Provider (ISP), file sharing results in a large num...

We consider a nonatomic congestion game on a connected graph, with several classes of players. Each player wants to go from its origin vertex to its destination vertex at the minimum cost and all players of a given class share the same characteristics: cost functions on each arc, and origin-destination pair. Under some mild conditions, it is known that a Nash equilibrium exists, but the computa...

Solid tumors recruit and form blood vessels, used for maintenance and growth as well as for formation and spread of metastases. Vascularization is therefore a pivotal switch in cancer malignancy: an accurate analysis of its driving processes is a big issue for the development of treatments. In vitro experiments have demonstrated that cultured tumor-derived endothelial cells (TECs) are able to o...

Signaling by epidermal growth factor (EGF)-like ligands is mediated by an interactive network of four ErbB receptor tyrosine kinases, whose mechanism of ligand-induced dimerization is unknown. We contrasted two existing models: a conformation-driven activation of a receptor-intrinsic dimerization site and a ligand bivalence model. Analysis of a Neu differentiation factor (NDF)-induced heterodim...

Imagine that you get such certain awesome experience and knowledge by only reading a book. How can? It seems to be greater when a book can be the best thing to discover. Books now will appear in printed and soft file collection. One of them is this book soar like geese building developmental network relationships for scholarship innovation center. It is so usual with the printed books. However,...

This paper presents a hybrid localization method designed for environments having the structure of a network (road networks, sewerage networks, underground mines, etc.. .). The method, which views localization as a problem of state estimation in a switching environment, combines the exibility and robustness of Markov localization with the accuracy and eeciency of Kalman ltering. This is achieve...
