We analyze the individual behavior related to information dissemination and the factors that affect the sharing behavior of individuals, and we define and quantify these factors. We consider these factors as characteristic attributes and use a Bayesian classifier to classify individuals. Considering the forwarding delay characteristics of information dissemination, we present a random time generation method that simulates the delay of information dissemination. Given time and other constraints, a user might not look at all the information that his/her friends published. Therefore, this paper proposes an algorithm to predict information visibility, i.e., it estimates the probability that an individual will see the information. Based on the classification of individual behavior and combined with our random time generation and information visibility prediction method, we propose an information dissemination model based on individual behavior. The model can be used to predict the scale and speed of information propagation. We use data sets from Sina Weibo to validate and analyze the prediction methods of the individual behavior and information dissemination model based on individual behavior. A previously proposedinformation dissemination model provides the foundation for a subsequent study on the evolution of the network and social network analysis. Predicting the scale and speed of information dissemination can also be used for public opinion monitoring.展开更多

One of the most fuzzy types of information in the prediction of geological calamity is handled employing the information diffusion method. First, a single-step prediction model and neural network prediction model are employed to collect influential information used to predict the extreme tide level. Second, information is obtained using the information diffusion method, which improves the precision of risk recognition when there is insufficient information. Experiments demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper is simple and effective and provides better forecast results than other methods. Future work will focus on a more precise forecast model.展开更多

This perturbation vector is obtained by using the closest point search, with the aid of the lattice-reduction algorithm. Simulation results show that the proposed scheme yields a tradeoff among power efficiency, peak-to-average power ratio reduction, and complexity.展开更多

The effect of the support plate on the dynamic response of the pre-stressed anchor is of particular interest. A theoretical analysis and numerical simulations are used to identify the factors affecting the contact stress between the support plate and the rock wall. A formula allowing the calculation of contact stress is presented. Stress wave propagation through the nut, support plate, and rock wall are predicted. The dynamic response signals were measured in the field using prestressed anchors pre-tightened to different torques. The effects from the support plate on the dynamic response were recorded and the results compared to the predictions of pre-stressed anchor. This work provides a theoretical reference for the signal processing of dynamic reflected wave signals in anchor bolts.展开更多

Results: One hundred and two HIV positive cases including 18 AIDS cases (three cases deceased) were identified in Shenzhen from 1992 to 2000. Among the 102 cases, those infected via sex were 46.0%, intravenous drug use 42.9%.Blood donation 7.8%, blood transfusion recipient 3.9%, and indeterminate 2%. Conclusion: In Shenzhen, HIV/AIDS infection is spreading and increasing rapidly. Effective prevention measures must be taken to reduce the HIV prevalence as soon as possible.展开更多

A numerical wave flume was developed based on the non-periodic high-order spectral (HOS) method. The flume was applied to analyze the effect of wave steepness and wavelength on the propagation of nonlinear waves. The results show that for waves of low steepness, the wave profile and the wave energy spectrum are stable, and that the propagation can be predicted by the linear wave theory. For waves of moderate steepness and steep waves, the effects associated with the interactions between waves in a wave group become significant and a train of initially sinusoidal waves may drastically change its form within a short distance from its original position.展开更多

The disease is spread solely through an intermediary named oncomelania, so its spread of schistosomiasis can be controlled by properly designing water intakes which prevent oncomelania from entering farming land or residential areas. This paper reports a successful design process and a new oncomelania free intake device. The design of the new intake is based on a sound research program in which extensive experimental studies were carried out to gain knowledge of oncomelania eco hydraulic behavior and detailed flow field information through CFD simulation.展开更多

The multiuser(MU) detection in PQSM system is investigated in this paper. Based on the known channel state information, pre-coding matrix is designed to pre-process the in-phase and quadrature signals of quadrature spatial modulation(QSM) to reduce the inter-channel interference. In order to lower the complexity at the receiver brought by the orthogonality of the PQSM system, an orthogonal matching pursuit(OMP) detection algorithm and a reconstructed model are proposed. The analysis and simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can obtain a similar bit error rate(BER) performance as the maximum likelihood(ML) detection algorithm with more than 80% reduction of complexity.展开更多

Their continued use of paper based systems presents clinical data management and patient care challenges. A portable point of care data capture electronic system and a computerized clinic patient management system (CCPMS) were implemented to remedy these challenges. PMTCT report compilation was easier with the portable data collection system whose data were found to be more complete and accurate with a 0.83% error rate compared to a 4.1% error rate in the paper registers. A resounding majority of clinicians preferred using the new CCPMS with many of the view that it improved drug inventory and general clinic management with a positive effect on patient care.展开更多
