Dynamical network markers for heterogeneous hierarchical networks by Yuto Saito, Hampei Sasahara, Jun-ichi Imura

“…Our findings reveal that stronger interactions necessitate a larger number of measured subnetworks but enable more precise identification of DNM nodes. These results highlight the critical role of sampling strategies in detecting CTs and contribute to a more comprehensive DNM theory for hierarchical networks.…”

Tracking the luminal exposure and lymphatic drainage pathways of intravaginal and intrarectal inocula used in nonhuman primate models of HIV transmission. by Jeremy Smedley, Baris Turkbey, Marcelino L Bernardo, Gregory Q Del Prete, Jacob D Estes, Gary L Griffiths, Hisataka Kobayashi, Peter L Choyke, Jeffrey D Lifson, Brandon F Keele

“…In addition, following submucosal and intranodal injections of vital dye or MRI contrast dye in the rectum (n = 9), or distal and proximal vagina (n = 4), the lymphatic drainage pathways were identified as first the internal then common iliac chain followed by para-aortic lymph nodes. Drainage from the distal descending colon (n = 8) was via the para-colonic lymph nodes followed by the inferior mesenteric and para-aortic lymph nodes. …”

Holistic approach to analysing debates on ecological sustainability over time on X by Javier Gómez Sánchez-Seco, Mary Luz Mouronte-López, Rosa M. Benito

“…Regarding CNET, according to the study performed using adjacency and laplacian embeddings, as well as Chebyshev, Euclidean, Minkowski, and Manhattan distances, pairs of unconnected supernodes appeared to have more similarity in their connection patterns than pairs of connected supernodes, due to the topological structure of CNET which has a large number of peripheral nodes that are not connected to each other, but are connected to nodes with higher centrality. …”

An optimization method to improve the performance of unmanned aerial vehicle wireless sensor networks by Hui-Ru Cao, Zhi Yang, Xue-Jun Yue, Yong-Xin Liu

“…Despite the success of various applications and studies in this new field, unmanned aerial vehicle–wireless sensor network still faces many open challenges, such as the unmanned aerial vehicle capable system framework, land-wireless sensor network management, and unmanned aerial vehicle mission planning strategies. In the article, we propose a cooperative framework for unmanned aerial vehicle–wireless sensor network, which is composed of sensor nodes, fixed-group leaders, and a unmanned aerial vehicle-Sink, in which a three-layer hierarchical network is formed. …”
