Numerical Investigation of the Capture of Polydisperse Particles by Charged Droplets

The capture of particles by charged droplets was simulated by considering the electrostatic interactions of droplet-droplet and droplet-particle. The results indicate that the electrostatic repulsion between droplets leads to a dynamic accumulation mode of particles. However, the droplet spacing has an insignificant effect on the capture efficiency when the electrostatic deposition predominates. The increase of droplet charge remarkably improves the capture efficiency, in which the capture of fine particles accounts for the largest proportion. Compared to the droplet charge, the droplet size shows a limited improvement in the capture efficiency. Reducing the droplet velocity prolongs the capture time instead of enhancing the capture capacity per unit time, thereby improving capture efficiency.

大规模生物网络马尔可夫聚类的并行化算法

马尔可夫聚类算法（MCL）是在大规模生物网络中寻找模块的一个有效方法，能够挖掘网络结构和功能影响力较大的模块。算法涉及到大规模矩阵计算，因此复杂度可达立方阶次。针对复杂度高的问题，提出了基于消息传递接口（MPI）的并行化马尔可夫聚类算法以提高算法的计算性能。首先，生物网络转化成邻接矩阵；然后，根据算法的特性，按照矩阵的规模判断并重新生成新矩阵以处理非平方倍数矩阵的计算；其次，并行计算通过按块分配的方式能够有效地实现任意规模矩阵的运算；最后，循环并行计算直至收敛，得到网络聚类结果。通过模拟网络和真实生物网络数据集的实验结果表明，与全块集体式通信（FCC）并行方法相比，平均并行效率提升了10个百分点以上，因此可以将该优化算法应用在不同类型的大规模生物网络中。
