Networks are a convenient way to represent complex systems of interacting entities. Many networks contain “communities” of nodes that are more densely connected to each other than to nodes in the rest of the network. In this paper, we investigate the detection of communities in temporal networks represented as multilayer networks. As a focal example, we study time-dependent financial-asset corr...

The paper deals with magnetic shields for distribution systems mainly devoted to MV/LV substation. In the category of passive system, a new multilayer shielding plate is presented. The main purpose of the proposed solution is the reduction of the gap between the ferromagnetic sheets by a proper overlapping in order to reduce the local leakage fluxes. Plates characterised by different conductive...

The multilayer structure of transport networks presents a key challenge in network resource management. In this article we present a virtual network approach to the management of transport network resources. We describe the approach as developed for the management of large-scale ATM networks and discuss the application to the next generation of multilayer transport networks. Virtual Network Res...

This paper presents the study on the mechanism of heat transport in multilayer solid body with the assumption that the heat transfer proceeds with the aid of thermal conductivity. It presents a test conducted with lock-in thermography on multilayer structure with implanted defect. The structure is made from materials of different thermal conductivity k. Different layers of tested structure desc...

In this study, Pb(Zr0.52Ti0.48)O3/BiFeO3 [PZT/BFO] multilayer thin films were fabricated using the spin-coating method on a Pt(200 nm)/Ti(10 nm)/SiO2(100 nm)/p-Si(100) substrate alternately using BFO and PZT metal alkoxide solutions. The coating-and-heating procedure was repeated several times to form the multilayer thin films. All PZT/BFO multilayer thin films show a void-free, uniform grain s...

Uncoupled multilayer plates create a complex dynamical structure, where depending on input parameters and initial and boundary conditions, various vibration types appear. In spite of undoubtable achievements in static and dynamical problems of nonlinear theory of plates, the problems of contacts exhibited by multilayer plates subject to both longitudinal and transversal time-changeable loads ar...

The effect of the strength of electrostatic and short-range interactions on the multilayer assembly of oppositely charged polyelectrolytes at a charged substrate was studied by molecular dynamics simulations. The multilayer buildup was achieved through sequential adsorption of charged polymers in a layer-by-layer fashion from dilute polyelectrolyte solutions. The strong electrostatic attraction...

The severely distorting channels limit the use of linear equalizers and the use of the nonlinear equalizers then becomes justifiable. Neural-network-based equalizers, especially the multilayer perceptron (MLP)-based equalizers, are computationally efficient alternative to currently used nonlinear filter realizations, e.g., the Volterra type. The drawback of the MLP-based equalizers is, however,...

This paper investigates the application of artificial neural network structures to the problem of nonlinear channel equalization. The difficulties caused by channel distortions such us inter symbol interference (ISI) and nonlinearities can be overcome by equalizers employing neural networks. We present a structure of a nonlinear equalizer with decision feedback using multilayer perceptron (MLP ...
