Detecting community structure using label propagation with consensus weight in complex network

Community detection is a fundamental work to analyse the structural and functional properties of complex networks.The label propagation algorithm(LPA) is a near linear time algorithm to find a good community structure. Despite various ubsequent advances, an important issue of this algorithm has not yet been properly addressed. Random update orders within the algorithm severely hamper the stability of the identified community structure. In this paper, we executed the asic label propagation algorithm on networks multiple times, to obtain a set of consensus partitions. Based on these onsensus partitions, we created a consensus weighted graph. In this consensus weighted graph, the weight value of the dge was the proportion value that the number of node pairs allocated in the same cluster was divided by the total number f partitions. Then, we introduced consensus weight to indicate the direction of label propagation. In label update steps,y computing the mixing value of consensus weight and label frequency, a node adopted the label which has the maximum mixing value instead of the most frequent one. For extending to different networks, we introduced a proportion parameter o adjust the proportion of consensus weight and label frequency in computing mixing value. Finally, we proposed an pproach named the label propagation algorithm with consensus weight(LPAcw), and the experimental results showed that he LPAcw could enhance considerably both the stability and the accuracy of community partitions.

Using Short Wave Visible–Near Infrared Reflectance Spectroscopy to Predict Soil Properties and Content

In this study, short wave visible–near infrared reflectance spectroscopy was evaluated for prediction of diverse soil properties related to four different soil series of several regions in Jiangxi, China. A total of 240 soil samples were collected for the calibration (n = 168) and prediction (n = 72) sets. The used wavelength range of short wave visible–near infrared reflectance spectroscopy is 325–1075 nm. Partial least squares regression and back propagation neural network were used to develop models for soil properties such as organic matter and extractable forms of calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Performance of these models was also compared and analyzed. The input of back propagation neural network was the first six principal components resulted from the principal component analysis and the optimal number of latent variables obtained from partial least squares regression. The overall results showed that the performance of partial least squares regression model was inferior to all back propagation neural network models. The best prediction was obtained with latent variables as input of back propagation neural network model for organic matter (determination coefficient = 0.84 and relative predictive determinant = 2.38), which was classified as very good model predictions. The prediction of calcium, magnesium, and potassium was classified as fair (determination coefficient = 0.56–0.68 and relative predictive determinant = 1.51–1.61), where quantitative predictions were considered possible. It is recommended to adopt latent variables as input for back propagation neural network model predicting soil properties with short wave visible–near infrared reflectance spectroscopy. In conclusion, short wave visible–near infrared reflectance spectroscopy was variably successful in estimating soil properties and showed potential for substituting laboratory analyses.     

Image segmentation based on hierarchical belief propagation with variable weighting parameters

The belief propagation (BP) algorithm is an efficient way to minimize the MRF energy for image segmentation. This paper proposes a hierarchical BP algorithm with variable weighting parameters (HBP-VW) to improve the segmentation accuracy of the BP-based algorithms. In the HBP-VW, two variable weighting parameters are introduced, the global parameter and the local parameter. The global parameter is used to overall adjust the influence of each part in the message update rule. The local parameter is designed to describe the local texture pattern for each site. Texture, remote sensing, and nature images are employed to test the proposed algorithm. Experimental results illustrate a better segmentation accuracy compared with other BP-based algorithms.

Experimental study of flame stabilization in low Reynolds and Dean number flows in curved mesoscale ducts

Flame stabilization during non-premixed combustion in curved ducts with a diameter of the order of magnitude of the premixed flame thickness of the reactants was investigated experimentally, since it has been established that this is a configuration with potential advantages in the context of “micro”-combustion. It was shown that, in such “mesoscale” tubes, a stable flame oscillation including extinction/re-ignition phenomena can be established for steady boundary conditions. These oscillations lead, under appropriate conditions, to sound emission in the 50–350 Hz range. This was a mode of stabilization in addition to the “classical” steady flamelet, stabilized through thermal losses to the duct walls at higher values of the Reynolds number. Curvature of the duct was shown to have minimal effect on reactant mixing, which was diffusion-controlled, but significantly affected flame thickness and stabilization. To probe the fuel-oxidizer mixing in the U-shaped, optically accessible tubes, laser induced fluorescence of acetone fuel dopant was used, and the flame structure was studied using OH PLIF. The various stabilization regimes are discussed in terms of the Reynolds and Dean numbers of the tube flow.     

A review of commonly used analytical and empirical formulae for predicting sound diffracted by a thin screen

This paper reviews some useful analytical and empirical formulae that are used for the calculation of sound diffracted by a barrier. A brief historic overview of the study of spherical waves diffracted by a rigid half plane is presented also. The physical principles of sound diffraction by a thin plane are explained. The mathematical expressions are cast in a convenient form for ease of numerical implementation. Accurate analytical solutions are expressed in terms of standard mathematical functions that can be computed readily. Among the approximate solutions quoted, quite a few empirical formulations are adequate for most engineering purposes. The information presented in this paper should also be helpful for those who are interested in the study of sound diffracted by a barrier in a room or in a long industrial space.

Influence of Pt thickness on magnetization reversal processes in (Pt/Co)3 multilayers with perpendicular anisotropy

We present a detailed study of the magnetization reversal in perpendicularly magnetized (Pt/Co)₃ multilayers with different values of the platinum interlayer thickness t_Pt. To study the magnetization reversal in our samples we combined measurements of relaxation curves with the direct visualization of domain structures. Magnetization reversal was dominated by domain wall propagation for t_Pt=1 nm and by domain nucleation for t_Pt=0.2 nm, while a mixed process was observed for t_Pt=0.8 nm. We interpret our results within the framework of a model of thermally activated reversal where a distribution of activation energy barriers is taken into account. The reversal process was correlated with the energy barrier distribution.
