Joint Detection of Community and Structural Hole Spanner of Networks in Hyperbolic Space

Community detection and structural hole spanner (the node bridging different communities) identification, revealing the mesoscopic and microscopic structural properties of complex networks, have drawn much attention in recent years. As the determinant of mesoscopic structure, communities and structural hole spanners discover the clustering and hierarchy of networks, which has a key impact on transmission phenomena such as epidemic transmission, information diffusion, etc. However, most existing studies address the two tasks independently, which ignores the structural correlation between mesoscale and microscale and suffers from high computational costs. In this article, we propose an algorithm for simultaneously detecting communities and structural hole spanners via hyperbolic embedding (SDHE). Specifically, we first embed networks into a hyperbolic plane, in which, the angular distribution of the nodes reveals community structures of the embedded network. Then, we analyze the critical gap to detect communities and the angular region where structural hole spanners may exist. Finally, we identify structural hole spanners via two-step connectivity. Experimental results on synthetic networks and real networks demonstrate the effectiveness of our proposed algorithm compared with several state-of-the-art methods.     

An Encryption Algorithm for Region of Interest in Medical DICOM Based on One-Dimensional eλ-cos-cot Map

Today, with the rapid development of the Internet, improving image security becomes more and more important. To improve image encryption efficiency, a novel region of interest (ROI) encryption algorithm based on a chaotic system was proposed. First, a new 1D eλ-cos-cot (1D-ECC) with better chaotic performance than the traditional chaotic system is proposed. Second, the chaotic system is used to generate a plaintext-relate keystream based on the label information of a medical image DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) file, the medical image is segmented using an adaptive threshold, and the segmented region of interest is encrypted. The encryption process is divided into two stages: scrambling and diffusion. In the scrambling stage, helical scanning and index scrambling are combined to scramble. In the diffusion stage, two-dimensional bi-directional diffusion is adopted, that is, the image is bi-directionally diffused row by column to make image security better. The algorithm offers good encryption speed and security performance, according to simulation results and security analysis.

根据常用工业保护渣的成分范围配制出含有TiO2的连铸结晶器保护渣,通过实验检测并分析了渣样FTIR光谱及X射线衍射图谱,探讨了熔渣辐射传热特性随TiO2变化的规律.FTIR分析结果表明,在1～6 μm波段范围内,TiO2具有明显降低渣膜红外透过率的作用.X射线衍射结果表明渣中枪晶石的含量减少,析出CaTiO3等晶体,枪晶石的大量减少有利于铸坯的润滑.通过辐射传热模型计算得到铸坯与结晶器之间的辐射热流密度.TiO2的加入使渣样热流密度大为降低,并随其含量增加而降低,最高达30%.由于试样表面及晶界强烈的折射和散射,结晶态试样对辐射传热的降低作用比玻璃态试样更明显.

Preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography for purification of shikonin from the Chinese medicinal plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon

The bioactive compound shikonin was successfully isolated and purified from the crude extract of the traditional Chinese medicinal plant Lithospermum erythrorhizon Sieb. et Zucc. by preparative high-speed counter-current chromatography (HSCCC). The preparative HSCCC was performed using a two-phase solvent system composed of n-hexane-ethylacetate-ethanol-water (16:14:14:5 (v/v)). A total amount of 19.6 mg of shikonin at 98.9% purity was obtained from 52 mg of the crude extract (containing 38.9% shikonin) with 96.9% recovery. The preparative isolation and purification of shikonin by HSCCC was completed in 200 min in a one-step separation.     

Applications of Raman-based techniques to on-site and in-vivo analysis

Raman-based technologies have proved to be excellent tools for on-site and in-vivo analysis, due to the non-invasive nature of their detection, their capability of providing structure information, their high tolerance to aqueous samples, the ultra-sensitivity of surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) and resonance Raman scattering (RRS), the high spatial resolution of tip-enhanced Raman scattering (TERS), and the ultrashort spectra-acquisition time for coherent anti-Stokes Raman scattering (CARS) and stimulated Raman scattering (SRS).In this review, we highlight the recent success of Raman-based technologies in various applications, including:

• (1) 

  on-site surface analysis and chemical-reaction monitoring;

• (2) 

  on-site identification of cultural objects, archeological studies and planetary science;

• (3) 

  in-vivo analysis of cells and microorganisms;

• (4) 

  in-vivo diagnosis inside human and animal bodies;

• (5) 

  in-vivo fast Raman imaging and mapping;

• (6) 

  the study of SERS processes; and,

• (7) 

  assessment of nanomaterial safety.

Tetracene tetracarboxylic diimides have been synthesized based on direct double ring extension of electron-deficient naphthalene diimides involving metallacyclopentadienes. Atomic structure and electronic transitions responsible for their NIR absorption spectra are investigated with quantum-chemical calculations. In light of their unique structure and admirable photophysical and electronic properties, this new molecular skeleton is promising candidate for n-type semiconductors.

Ultrathin Alternating Copolymer Nanotubes with Readily Tunable Surface Functionalities

Well‐defined ultrathin nanotubes (30 nm in diameter and of micrometer‐scale length) were generated through the self‐assembly of a novel alternative copolymer synthesized using an epoxy–thiol click‐chemistry reaction. The self‐assembly mechanism was investigated both by experiments and using dissipative particle dynamics (DPD) simulations. The obtained nanotubes can be readily functionalized with carboxy groups, amino groups, peptides, or other groups by simple modular click copolymerization.     

A Mini Review on the Functional Biomaterials Based on Poly(lactic acid) Stereocomplex

Poly(lactic acid) stereocomplex (sc-PLA) prevails over homo-poly(lactic acid)s in many aspects and showed great potential as biomaterials depending on its extraordinary biological, thermal, and mechanical properties. In the past few years, sc-PLA has gained tremendous attention as a new approach to the development of new types of functional biomaterials. This paper summarizes recent progress in the application of the concept of sc-PLA in the design and fabrication of stabilized nanoparticles and in situ gelling hydrogels for biomedical applications.
