Seeking powerful information initial spreaders in online social networks: a dense group perspective

The rapid growth of online social networks (OSNs) has ultimately facilitated information spreading and changed the economics of mobile networks. It is important to understand how to spread information as widely as possible. In this paper, we aim to seek powerful information initial spreaders with an efficient manner. We use the mean-field theory to characterize the process of information spreading based on the Susceptible Infected (SI) model and validate that the prevalence of information depends on the network density. Inspired by this result, we seek the initial spreaders from closely integrated groups of nodes, i.e., dense groups (DGs). In OSNs, DGs distribute dispersedly over the network, so our approach can be fulfilled in a distributed way by seeking the spreaders in each DG. We first design a DG Generating Algorithm to detect DGs, where nodes within the DG have more internal connections than external ones. Second, based on the detected DGs, we design a criterion to seek powerful initial spreaders from each DG. We conduct experiments as well as statistical analysis on real OSNs. The results show that our approach provides a satisfactory performance as well as computational efficiency.

Cover Picture: Toward Large‐Scale Alignment of Electrohydrodynamic Patterning of Thin Polymer Films (Adv. Funct. Mater. 15/2006)

By integrating lithography and self‐assembly via electrohydrodynamic instabilities, Russel and co‐workers are able to guide initially flat polymer films to evolve into periodic arrays of pillars over regions much greater in extent than their natural domain sizes, as detailed on p. 1992. Novel structures that involve a combination of linear ridges and pillars are also produced, mainly as as result of the dynamic merging among preformed pillars. To pattern thin polymer films via electrohydrodynamic instabilities, we design and utilize two different kinds of mask patterns to guide pillars into alignment over regions much greater in extent than their natural domain sizes. First, narrow protruding ridges that intersect to form regular patterns on the mask trigger the growth of pillars beneath. Later, square and triangular packings of pillars develop in the regions enclosed by those ridges, preserving the registry from one domain to the next over a much larger area than within individual domains in unpatterned portions of the mask. Second, small square protrusions that are prealigned into a large regular array on the mask guide the formation of square packings of pillars in domains that conform to the mask, forming a large array of pillars. Novel structures involving a combination of linear ridges and pillars are also produced mainly due to the dynamic merging among preformed pillars. Finally, we find vertex symmetry of the mask pattern is necessary for generating and preserving ordered patterns on the polymer film.     

Selective wet etching of p-GaN for efficient GaN-based light-emitting diodes

The selective wet etching of a p-GaN layer by using a solution of KOH in ethylene glycol (KE) was studied to enhance the optical and electrical performance of the GaN-based light-emitting diodes (LEDs). The surface of the p-GaN, which was selectively etched in the KE solution, showed hexagonal-shaped etch pits. The light-output power of etched LEDs was improved by 29.4% compared to that of the nonetched LED. This improvement was attributed to the increase in the probability of photons to escape due to the increased surface area of textured surface and the reduction in contact resistance of the ohmic layer resulting from the increased contact area and hole concentration on the textured p-GaN. The reverse leakage current of the LED was also greatly decreased due to the surface passivation and the removal of defective regions from the p-GaN.     

Reflective SOA-Based Bidirectional WDM-PON Sharing Optical Source for Up/Downlink Data and Broadcasting Transmission

We proposed and experimentally demonstrated the reflective semiconductor optical amplifier (RSOA)-based wavelength-division-multiplexed passive optical network (WDM-PON) scheme where not only up/downlink data services but also broadcasting service could be provided using a single optical source. In the proposed scheme, the digital signal and subcarrier multiplexing (SCM) signal for downstream were simultaneously modulated by a single distributed feedback laser diode and RSOA in optical network unit remodulated downstream source as an upstream. Without performance deterioration of digital signals both in up- and downstream, the proposed WDM-PON scheme can stably offer the SCM signal for broadcasting service. In the experiment, 1-Gb/s digital signals both for up- and downstream and 20-Mb/s SCM signal at 2.2 GHz for broadcasting were demonstrated in 10-km bidirectional link
