Ability paradox of cascading model based on betweenness.

ABSTRACT: Must Investing more resources to protect every node in a network improve the robustness of the whole network subject to target attacks? To answer this question, we investigate the cascading dynamics in some typical networks. In real networks, the load on a node is generally correlated with the betweenness. Considering the weight of a node, we give a new method to define the initial load on a node by the revised betweenness. Then we present a simple cascading model. We investigate the cascading dynamics by disabling a single key node with the highest load. We find that in BA scale-free networks, the bigger the capacity of every node, the stronger the robustness of the whole network. However, in WS networks and some random networks, when we increase the capacity of every node, instead, the robustness of the whole network is weaker. In US power grid and the China power grid, we also observe this counterintuitive phenomenon. We give a reasonable explanation by a simple illusion. By the analysis, we think that resurrections of some nodes in a ring network structure after removing a node may be the reason of this phenomenon.

Agent-Based Learning Model for the Obesity Paradox in RCC.

Project description:A recent study on the immunotherapy treatment of renal cell carcinoma reveals better outcomes in obese patients compared to lean subjects. This enigmatic contradiction has been explained, in the context of the debated obesity paradox, as the effect produced by the cell-cell interaction network on the tumor microenvironment during the immune response. To better understand this hypothesis, we provide a computational framework for the in silico study of the tumor behavior. The starting model of the tumor, based on the cell-cell interaction network, has been described as a multiagent system, whose simulation generates the hypothesized effects on the tumor microenvironment. The medical needs in the immunotherapy design meet the capabilities of a multiagent simulator to reproduce the dynamics of the cell-cell interaction network, meaning a reaction to environmental changes introduced through the experimental data.

Network recovery based on system crash early warning in a cascading failure model.

Project description:This paper investigates the possibility of saving a network that is predicted to have a cascading failure that will eventually lead to a total collapse. We model cascading failures using the recently proposed KQ model. Then predict an impending total collapse by monitoring critical slowing down indicators and subsequently attempt to prevent the total collapse of the network by adding new nodes. To this end, we systematically evaluate five node addition rules, the effect of intervention delay and network degree heterogeneity. Surprisingly, unlike for random homogeneous networks, we find that a delayed intervention is preferred for saving scale free networks. We also find that for homogeneous networks, the best strategy is to wire newly added nodes to existing nodes in a uniformly random manner. For heterogeneous networks, however, a random selection of nodes based on their degree mostly outperforms a uniform random selection. These results provide new insights into restoring networks by adding nodes after observing early warnings of an impending complete breakdown.

Cascading detection model for prediction of apnea-hypopnea events based on nasal flow and arterial blood oxygen saturation.

Project description:PURPOSE:Sleep apnea and hypopnea syndrome (SAHS) seriously affects sleep quality. In recent years, much research has focused on the detection of SAHS using various physiological signals and algorithms. The purpose of this study is to find an efficient model for detection of apnea-hypopnea events based on nasal flow and SpO2 signals. METHODS:A 60-s detector and a 10-s detector were cascaded for precise detection of apnea-hypopnea (AH) events. Random forests were adopted for classification of data segments based on morphological features extracted from nasal flow and arterial blood oxygen saturation (SpO2). Then the segments' classification results were fed into an event detector to locate the start and end time of every AH event and predict the AH index (AHI). RESULTS:A retrospective study of 24 subjects' polysomnography recordings was conducted. According to segment analysis, the cascading detection model reached an accuracy of 88.3%. While Pearson's correlation coefficient between estimated AHI and reference AHI was 0.99, in the diagnosis of SAHS severity, the proposed method exhibited a performance with Cohen's kappa coefficient of 0.76. CONCLUSIONS:The cascading detection model is able to detect AH events and provide an estimate of AHI. The results indicate that it has the potential to be a useful tool for SAHS diagnosis.

Node-based generalized friendship paradox fails.

Project description:The Friendship Paradox-the principle that "your friends have more friends than you do"-is a combinatorial fact about degrees in a graph; but given that many web-based social activities are correlated with a user's degree, this fact has been taken more broadly to suggest the empirical principle that "your friends are also more active than you are." This Generalized Friendship Paradox, the notion that any attribute positively correlated with degree obeys the Friendship Paradox, has been established mathematically in a network-level version that essentially aggregates uniformly over all the edges of a network. Here we show, however, that the natural node-based version of the Generalized Friendship Paradox-which aggregates over nodes, not edges-may fail, even for degree-attribute correlations approaching 1. Whether this version holds depends not only on degree-attribute correlations, but also on the underlying network structure and thus can't be said to be a universal phenomenon. We establish both positive and negative results for this node-based version of the Generalized Friendship Paradox and consider its implications for social-network data.

Prioritizing Gene Cascading Paths to Model Colorectal Cancer Through Engineered Organoids.

Project description:Engineered organoids by sequential introduction of key mutations could help modeling the dynamic cancer progression. However, it remains difficult to determine gene paths which were sufficient to capture cancer behaviors and to broadly explain cancer mechanisms. Here, as a case study of colorectal cancer (CRC), functional and dynamic characterizations of five types of engineered organoids with different mutation combinations of five driver genes (APC, SMAD4, KRAS, TP53, and PIK3CA) showed that sequential introductions of all five driver mutations could induce enhanced activation of more hallmark signatures, tending to cancer. Comparative analysis of engineered organoids and corresponding CRC tissues revealed sequential introduction of key mutations could continually shorten the biological distance from engineered organoids to CRC tissues. Nevertheless, there still existed substantial biological gaps between the engineered organoid even with five key mutations and CRC samples. Thus, we proposed an integrative strategy to prioritize gene cascading paths for shrinking biological gaps between engineered organoids and CRC tissues. Our results not only recapitulated the well-known adenoma-carcinoma sequence model (e.g., AKST-organoid with driver mutations in APC, KRAS, SMAD4, and TP53), but also provided potential paths for delineating alternative pathogenesis underlying CRC populations (e.g., A-organoid with APC mutation). Our strategy also can be applied to both organoids with more mutations and other cancers, which can improve and innovate mechanism across cancer patients for drug design and cancer therapy.

Are Smart People Less Racist? Verbal Ability, Anti-Black Prejudice, and the Principle-Policy Paradox.

Project description:It is commonly hypothesized that higher cognitive abilities promote racial tolerance and a greater commitment to racial equality, but an alternative theoretical framework contends that higher cognitive abilities merely enable members of a dominant racial group to articulate a more refined legitimizing ideology for racial inequality. According to this perspective, ideological refinement occurs in response to shifting patterns of racial conflict and is characterized by rejection of overt prejudice, superficial support for racial equality in principle, and opposition to policies that challenge the dominant group's status. This study estimates the impact of verbal ability on a comprehensive set of racial attitudes, including anti-black prejudice, views about black-white equality in principle, and racial policy support. It also investigates cohort differences in the effects of verbal ability on these attitudes. Results suggest that high-ability whites are less likely than low-ability whites to report prejudicial attitudes and more likely to support racial equality in principle. Despite these liberalizing effects, high-ability whites are no more likely to support a variety of remedial policies for racial inequality. Results also suggest that the ostensibly liberalizing effects of verbal ability on anti-black prejudice and views about racial equality in principle emerged slowly over time, consistent with ideological refinement theory.

The Ability of Practices to Report Clinical Quality Measures: More Evidence of the Size Paradox?

Project description:PurposeTo assess whether primary care practices with and without support from a larger organization differ in their ability to produce timely reports on cardiovascular disease quality measures.BackgroundAlthough many primary care practices are now part of larger organizations, it is not clear whether such a shift will improve the ability of those who work in these primary care settings to easily access and use their own data for improvement.MethodsSmaller primary care practices were enrolled in a trial of external practice support to build quality improvement (QI) capacity. A request for clinical quality measure (eCQM) data were sent to each practice and study outcomes were defined based on the date on which practices first submitted valid data for at least 1 of the 3 measures. A practice survey completed by a clinic manager captured practice characteristics, including the presence of QI support from a larger organization.ResultsOf the 209 enrolled practices, 205 had complete data for analysis. Practices without central QI support had higher rates of eCQM submission at 30 days (38% vs 20%) and 60 days, (63% vs 48%) than practices with central QI support. Practices with central QI support took longer to submit data (median, 57 days) compared with practices without centralized support (median, 40 days) although this difference was not significant.ConclusionThe ability of smaller practices without centralized QI support to report their eCQMs more quickly may have implications for their subsequent ability to improve these measures.

Cascading failures in bi-partite graphs: model for systemic risk propagation.

Project description:As economic entities become increasingly interconnected, a shock in a financial network can provoke significant cascading failures throughout the system. To study the systemic risk of financial systems, we create a bi-partite banking network model composed of banks and bank assets and propose a cascading failure model to describe the risk propagation process during crises. We empirically test the model with 2007 US commercial banks balance sheet data and compare the model prediction of the failed banks with the real failed banks after 2007. We find that our model efficiently identifies a significant portion of the actual failed banks reported by Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. The results suggest that this model could be useful for systemic risk stress testing for financial systems. The model also identifies that commercial rather than residential real estate assets are major culprits for the failure of over 350 US commercial banks during 2008-2011.

Predictive ability of a process-based versus a correlative species distribution model.

Project description:Species distribution modeling is a widely used tool in many branches of ecology and evolution. Evaluations of the transferability of species distribution models-their ability to predict the distribution of species in independent data domains-are, however, rare. In this study, we contrast the transferability of a process-based and a correlative species distribution model. Our case study uses 664 Australian eucalypt and acacia species. We estimate models for these species using data from their native Australia and then assess whether these models can predict the adventive range of these species. We find that the correlative model-MaxEnt-has a superior ability to describe the data in the training data domain (Australia) and that the process-based model-TTR-SDM-has a superior ability to predict the distribution of the study species outside of Australia. The implication of this analysis, that process-based models may be more appropriate than correlative models when making projections outside of the domain of the training data, needs to be tested in other case studies.

Design of innovation ability evaluation model based on IPSO-LSTM in intelligent teaching.

Project description:Guided by the development of an innovative economy, students' innovative education has also become the focus of talent training. This research aims to realize the intelligent evaluation of students' innovation ability. In this article, we proposed an innovation ability framework that integrates students' psychological state and innovation evaluation indicators. Firstly, the qualitative description of psychological data is quantified using the Delphi method. Secondly, this article proposes an improved particle swarm optimization-long short-term memory (IPSO-LSTM) model to achieve high-precision evaluation and classification of innovation capabilities. The classification accuracy of this model for excellent, general and failed innovation capabilities is up to 95.3%. Finally, the characteristic contribution analysis of psychological and innovative ability characteristics is carried out. The results show that the evaluation of creative ability contributes more than 50% to the psychological aspects of excellent students. This shows the importance of psychological status on creative ability and provides a theoretical basis for integrating innovative education and psychological education in the future.
