We introduce random directed acyclic graph and use it to model the information diffusion network. Subsequently, we analyze the cascade generation model (CGM) introduced by Leskovec et al. [19].

These demographics are key properties of the cognitive-developmental, gender socialization, and occupational socialization theories. We find the overall level of reported buying is low, while the level of sharing and use is high. From the perspective of socialization, we find diffe...

In the framework of heavy mid-level processing for high speed imaging, a nonlinear bi-dimensional network is proposed, allowing the implementation of active curve algorithms. Usually this efficient type of algorithm is prohibitive for real-time image processing due to its calculus charge and the inadequate structure for the use of serial or parallel architectures. Another kind of implementation...

With an object to study neurosis through stressful life events, personality dimension, family interactional patterns and other sociological variables, certain hypotheses are tested in two populations, namely 60 neurotics and 60 normals, matched at individual level for age, sex, and education. This paper is divided into two parts. In this part the main observations are that neurotic patients exp...
