Recently, the impact of network structure on evolutionary dynamics has been at the center of attention when studying the evolutionary process of structured populations. This paper aims at finding out the key structural feature of network to capture its impact on evolutionary dynamics. To this end, a novel concept called heat heterogeneity is introduced to characterize the structural heterogenei...

We study the impact and subsequent retraction dynamics of liquid droplets upon highspeed impact on hydrophobic surfaces. Performing extensive experiments, we show that the drop retraction rate is a material constant and does not depend on the impact velocity. We show that when increasing the Ohnesorge number, Oh = η/ √ ρRIγ, the retraction, i.e. dewetting, dynamics crosses over from a capillaro...

OBJECTIVE The objective of this study is to conduct a systematic review of multi-scale HIV immunoepidemiological models to improve our understanding of the synergistic impact between the HIV viral-immune dynamics at the individual level and HIV transmission dynamics at the population level. BACKGROUND While within-host and between-host models of HIV dynamics have been well studied at a single...

[naeini1]  housing is the third top factor in human life, after food and clothing in all communities. many variables are involved in determining housing prices and it is impossible to ignore housing feedback. one of the powerful tools to determine the impact of policies in this field is using system dynamics approach. according to this approach, the cause-and- effect diagram of factors affectin...

this paper studies pull-in behavior of a bio-mass sensor with a cantilevered cnt actuated electrostatically considering rippling deformation. although this phenomenon can change the behavior of cnt remarkably, its effect on the performance of a cnt-based mass sensor is not investigated yet. this investigation is based on modified euler-bernoulli beam theory and rippling effect is entered the eq...

Queueing theory has been recently proposed as a framework to model the heavy tailed statistics of human activity patterns. The main predictions are the existence of a powerlaw distribution for the interevent time of human actions and two decay exponents α = 1 and α = 3/2. Current models lack, however, a key aspect of human dynamics, i.e. several tasks require, or are determined by, interactions...
