This paper develops upper and lower bounds on the influence measure in a network, more precisely, the expected number of nodes that a seed set can influence in the independent cascade model. In particular, our bounds exploit nonbacktracking walks, Fortuin-Kasteleyn-Ginibre type inequalities, and are computed by message passing algorithms. Nonbacktracking walks have recently allowed for headways in community detection, and this paper shows that their use can also impact the influence computation. Further, we provide parameterized versions of the bounds that control the trade-off between the efficiency and the accuracy. Finally, the tightness of the bounds is illustrated with simulations on various network models.

The single-and double-electron capture(SEC, DEC) processes of He^(2+) ions colliding with Ne atoms are studied by utilizing the full quantum-mechanical molecular-orbital close-coupling method. Total and state-selective SEC and DEC cross sections are presented in the energy region of 2 eV/u to 20 keV/u. Results show that the dominant reaction channel is Ne^(+)(2s2p^(6) ^(2)S) + He^(+)(1s) in the considered energy region due to strong couplings with the initial state Ne(2s^(2)2p^(6)^(1)S) + He^(2+) around the internuclear distance of 4.6 a.u. In our calculations, the SEC cross sections decrease initially and then increase whereby, the minimum point is around 0.38 keV/u with the increase of collision energies. After considering the effects of the electron translation factor(ETF), the SEC cross sections are increased by 15%–25% nearby the energy region of keV/u and agree better with the available results. The DEC cross sections are smaller than those of SEC because of the larger energy gaps and no strong couplings with the initial state. Due to the Demkov-type couplings between DEC channel Ne^(2+)(2s^(2)2p^(4)^(1)S) + He(1s^(2)) and the dominating SEC channel Ne^(+)(2s2p^(6) ^(2)S) + He^(+)(1s), the DEC cross sections increase with increasing impact energies. Good consistency can also be found between the present DEC and the experimental measurements in the overlapping energy region.

Proteins fold to a specific functional conformation with a densely packed core that controls their stability. Despite their importance, we lack a quantitative explanation for why all protein cores, regardless of their overall fold, possess the same average packing fraction 〈ϕ〉≈0.55. However, important developments in the physics of jamming in particulate systems can shed light on the packing of protein cores. Here, we extend the framework of jamming to describe core packing in collapsed polymers, as well as in all-atom models of folded proteins. First, we show in a spherical bead-spring polymer model (with and without bond-angle constraints) that as the hydrophobic interactions increase relative to thermal fluctuations, a jamming-like transition occurs when the core packing fraction exceeds ϕc with the same power-law scaling behavior for the potential energy Vr, excess contact number ΔN, and characteristic frequency of the vibrational density of states ω* versus Δϕ=ϕ−ϕc as that for jammed particulate systems. Then, we develop an all-atom model for proteins and find that, above ϕc∼0.55, protein cores undergo a jamming-like transition, but with anomalous power-law scaling for Vr, ΔN, and ω* versus Δϕ. The all-atom protein model remains close to the native protein structure during jamming and accurately refolds from partially unfolded states.

This paper develops deterministic upper and lower bounds on the influence measure in a network, more precisely, the expected number of nodes that a seed set can influence in the independent cascade model. In particular, our bounds exploit r-nonbacktracking walks and Fortuin--Kasteleyn--Ginibre (FKG) type inequalities, and are computed by message passing algorithms. Further, we provide parameterized versions of the bounds that control the trade-off between efficiency and accuracy. Finally, the tightness of the bounds is illustrated on various network models.

We explore time-based solvers for linear standing-wave problems, especially the oscillatory Helmholtz equation. Here, we show how to accelerate the convergence properties of timestepping. We introduce a new time-based solver that we call phase-adjusted time-averaging (PATA), which we couple to timestepping to form the PATA-TS solver. Numerical experiments indicate that the PATA-TS solver is faster than the PATA solver and timestepping by a factor of 1.2 and 1.5 or more, respectively. We also explain why the PATA-TS solver is robust, efficient, and easy to program for a variety of practical applications.

The positron-impact excitation of hydrogen atoms embedded in plasma environments is investigated using the close-coupling approximation from the low to intermediate energy region without including any positronium formation channel, and the excitation cross sections for 1s→2s, 1s→2p and 2s→2p processes are calculated in a wide Debye parameter range. The screening interactions, described by the Debye-Hückel model, decrease the coupling matrix elements, resulting in the reduction of the excitation cross sections from a few percent to one magnitude of ten. This will alter remarkably the spectroscopy of hydrogen in intensity and position, which should be considered in the simulation and diagnostics under some specific plasma conditions.

In this paper, the typical exponential method, diamond difference and modified time discrete scheme is researched for self adaptive time step. The second-order time evolution scheme is applied to time-dependent spherical neutron transport equation by discrete ordinates method. The numerical results show that second-order time evolution scheme associated exponential method has some good properties. The time differential curve about neutron current is more smooth than that of exponential method and diamond difference and modified time discrete scheme.
