Cascades with coupled map lattices in preferential attachment community networks

In this paper, cascading failure is studied by coupled map lattice （CML） methods in preferential attachment community networks. It is found that external perturbation R is increasing with modularity Q growing by simulation. In particular, the large modularity Q can hold off the cascading failure dynamic process in community networks. Furthermore, different attack strategies also greatly affect the cascading failure dynamic process. It is particularly significant to control cascading failure process in real community networks.     

Properties of asymmetrically evolved community networks

This paper studies a simple asymmetrically evolved community network with a combination of preferential attachment and random properties. An important issue about community networks is to discover the different utility increments of two nodes, where the utility is introduced to investigate the asymmetrical effect of connecting two nodes. On the other hand, the connection of two nodes in community networks can be classified as two nodes belonging to the same or to different communities. The simulation results show that the model can reproduce a power-law utility distribution P(u)～u^-σ, σ = 2 + 1/p, which can be obtained by using mean-field approximation methods. Furthermore, the model exhibits exponential behaviour with respect to small values of a parameter denoting the random effect in our model at the low-utility region and a power-law feature with respect to big values of this parameter at the high-utility region, which is in good agreement with theoretical analysis. This kind of community network can reproduce a unique utility distribution by theoretical and numerical analysis.     

Tolerance of edge cascades with coupled map lattices methods

This paper studies the cascading failure on random networks and scale-free networks by introducing the tolerance parameter of edge based on the coupled map lattices methods. The whole work focuses on investigating some indices including the number of failed edges, dynamic edge tolerance capacity and the perturbation of edge. In general, it assumes that the perturbation is attributed to the normal distribution in adopted simulations. By investigating the effectiveness of edge tolerance in scale-free and random networks, it finds that the larger tolerance parameter λ can more efficiently delay the cascading failure process for scale-free networks than random networks. These results indicate that the cascading failure process can be effectively controlled by increasing the tolerance parameter λ. Moreover, the simulations also show that, larger variance of perturbation can easily trigger the cascading failures than the smaller one. This study may be useful for evaluating efficiency of whole traffic systems, and for alleviating cascading failure in such systems.     

Hydrothermal Synthesis,Crystal Structure,Thermal Stability and Photophysical Property of a Novel Zinc Complex with Mixed Ligands

A novel metal-organic coordination complex [Zn(CHIP)(AIC)]n(1, CHIP = 2-(4-chlorophenyl)-1H-imidazo[4,5-f][1,10]phenanthroline, AIC = 5-amino-isophthalic acid) has been synthesized by hydrothermal reactions and characterized by elemental analysis, thermogravimetric(TG) analysis, infrared spectrum(IR) and single-crystal X-ray diffraction. Complex 1 crystallizes in monoclinic, space group C2/c with a = 18.259(5), b = 17.191(4), c = 16.371(4) A, V = 4717(2) A3,C27H-116 ClN 5O4Zn, Mr = 575.29, Dc = 1.620 g/cm3, μ(Mo Kα) = 1.202 mm, F(000) = 2335, Z = 8, the final R = 0.032 and w R = 0.074 for 4723 observed reflections(I 2σ(I)). Single-crystal X-ray diffraction reveals that 1 exhibits one-dimensional(1D) double chains, which are linked by H-bond intersections into a 2D structure. TG analysis shows clear weight loss due to the decomposition of different ligands. The luminescent properties for the ligand and complex 1 were also studied.
