Firstly, a hierarchical and topology-aware P2P overlay is developed with κ-Medoids partition algorithm to achieve the minimal physical distance of all super peer pairs. Secondly, a new idea of placing at most one replica in a cluster of physically adjacent nodes is introduced to achieve scattered distribution of replicas. Lastly, an efficient replicas-query algorithm based on multiple hash functions is proposed. Theoretical analysis and simulation experiment on several performance metrics are given, and it is verified that the method in this paper can efficiently disseminate replicas across the network, increase query-hit ratio, and decrease redundant messages and storage spaces required.展开更多

In this paper, a signaling cascade system(including three layers: input(S), intermediate(V), output(X) components) is employed to study the fluctuations and net synergy in information transmission, in which the V component is regulated by itself or the X component, and each feedback on V is either positive or negative. The Fano factor, the net synergy, and the signalto-noise ratio(SNR) of signaling cascade with the four possible feedback types are theoretically derived by using linear noise approximation of the master equation, and the ability of information transmission through the signaling cascade is characterized by using the partial information decomposition of information theory. It is found that the signaling cascade exhibits different responses to the four feedback mechanisms, which depend on the relationships between degradation rates of components. Our results not only clarify the dependence of the Fano factor, net synergy, and SNR on the feedback regulations with the varying of degradation rates of components, but also imply that living cells could utilize different feedback mechanisms to adapt to the external fluctuating environments.展开更多
