SLGC: Identifying influential nodes in complex networks from the perspectives of self-centrality, local centrality, and global centrality

Identifying influential nodes in complex networks and ranking their importance plays an important role in many fields such as public opinion analysis, marketing, epidemic prevention and control. To solve the issue of the existing node centrality measure only considering the specific statistical feature of a single dimension, a SLGC model is proposed that combines a node’s self-influence, its local neighborhood influence, and global influence to identify influential nodes in the network. The exponential function of e is introduced to measure the node’s self-influence;in the local neighborhood,the node’s one-hop neighboring nodes and two-hop neighboring nodes are considered, while the information entropy is introduced to measure the node’s local influence;the topological position of the node in the network and the shortest path between nodes are considered to measure the node’s global influence. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model, extensive comparison experiments are conducted with eight existing node centrality measures on six real network data sets using node differentiation ability experiments, susceptible–infected–recovered(SIR) model and network efficiency as evaluation criteria. The experimental results show that the method can identify influential nodes in complex networks more accurately.

Research on the Comparison and Integration of Chinese and Western Music Cultures

This research undertakes a nuanced examination of the intersections and distinctions between these two diverse musical traditions.Employing a meticulous comparative analysis,the study scrutinizes fundamental musical elements such as scales,modes,and compositional styles,illuminating shared threads and distinctive attributes that characterize Chinese and Western music.Against the backdrop of contemporary global dynamics,the research investigates the ongoing integration of these musical cultures.It explores the impact of globalization and technological advancements,revealing instances of cross-cultural collaboration and the emergence of hybrid musical forms.Augmenting theoretical discussions with concrete case studies,the paper offers illuminating examples of how Chinese and Western musical elements interweave,contributing to the evolving landscape of global music.This research not only advances scholarly understanding but also contributes practical insights for musicians,educators,and enthusiasts navigating the evolving dynamics of cross-cultural musical expression.By elucidating the intricate relationship between Chinese and Western music cultures,the paper underscores the richness borne out of their interaction and the cultural synthesis that defines contemporary musical landscapes.

Integrating global socio-economic influences into a regional land use change model for China

With rapid economic development and urba- nization, land use in China has experienced huge changes in recent years; and this will probably continue in the future. Land use problems in China are urgent and need further study. Rapid land-use change and economic development make China an ideal region for integrated land use change studies, particularly the examination of multiple factors and global-regional interactions in the context of global economic integration. This paper presents an integrated modeling approach to examine the impact of global socio-economic processes on land use changes at a regional scale. We develop an integrated model system by coupling a simple global socio-economic model （GLOBFOOD） and regional spatial allocation model （CLUE）. The model system is illustrated with an application to land use in China. For a given climate change, population growth, and various socio-economic situations, a global socio-economic model simulates the impact of global market and economy on land use, and quantifies changes of different land use types. The land use spatial distribution model decides the type of land use most appropriate in each spatial grid by employing a weighted suitability index, derived from expert knowledge abot^t the ecosystem state and site conditions. A series of model simulations will be conducted and analyzed to demonstrate the ability of the integrated model to link global socio- economic factors with regional land use changes in China. The results allow an exploration of the future dynamics of land use and landscapes in China.

Global Partnership China and India seek to exert a positive influence on-the world

China and India seek to exert a positive influence on-the world Chinese Premier Wen Jiabao dis- played his signature smile as he and his visiting Indian counter- part Manmohan Singh signed a document to upgrade China-India relations in the Great Hall of the People in Beijing on January 14.Wen had good rea- son to be confident.Having just concluded a fruitful meeting in which the two leaders reached a consensus on a wide range of top- ics,they were now reaffirming in a written document the two countries’commitment to intensifying bilateral cooperation from a global perspective.

Diagnostics in Linear Regresion Model

In this paper, we consider the interaction between cases from the view of influence analysis in linear regression model. Our new diagnostic statistics can reveal the masking phenomenen in the situation of multiple outliers,and the method can also be adapted to the influential analysis in a general model based on single case deletion diagnostic and local influence approach,therefore has a wide range of application.
