Traffic Capacity

The traffic dynamics of complex networks is closely related to network structure. By changing network structure, the traffic dynamics behavior can be optimized. Faced with the network congestion problem, we focus on the relationship between network traffic capacity and its structure. The multilayer networks are studied, which are composed of high-speed and low-speed layers. A link rewiring strategy is proposed to change the low-speed layer structure and improve the network traffic capacity. Compared with the random link rewiring strategy, the purposeful link rewiring strategy can improve network traffic capacity. A large number of simulations are carried out under the effective traffic-flow assignment strategy to prove the effectiveness of the link rewiring strategy. This strategy improves packet transmission efficiency of low-speed layer, and reduces the average length of effective path, which indicates that adjustment of low-speed layer structure can improve traffic capacity of multilayer networks.

Simulation Results

Traffic dynamics of multilayer networks draws continuous attention from different communities since many systems are actually proved to have a multilayer structure. Since the core nodes of network are prone to congested, an effective routing strategy is of great significance to alleviate the congestion of the multilayer networks. In this paper, we propose an efficient improved routing strategy, with which the core nodes that can reasonably avoid congestion at the high-speed layer in the transmission process of packets, and can also make the most of the traffic resources of the low-speed layer nodes to optimize the traffic capacity of multilayer networks. The simulation results show that the proposed routing strategy can not only improve the network traffic capacity, but also shorten the average path length and average transmission time.

The network structure acquires great influence on the traffic capacity for complex network. Since the nodes with high degree usually bear large load in the process of packet transmission, we propose a new multilayer network model which can balance the load of low-speed and high-speed layers. The simulation results show that compared with the randomly select nodes multilayer network model, the new network model makes the multilayer network load more balanced, thereby enhancing traffic capacity of the network and reducing the possibility of congestion. This network model gives full play to the transmission advantages of the high-speed layer of the multilayer network, and can reduce the consumption of resources while achieving the same transmission effect, which is of guiding significance for the planning of network lines.

As two-layer or multi-layer network model can more accurately reveal many real structures of complex systems such as peer-to-peer (P2P) networks on IP networks, to better understand the traffic dynamics and improve the network traffic capacity, we propose to efficiently construct the structure of upper logical layer network which can be possibly implemented. From the beginning, we assume that the logical layer network has the same structure as the lower physical layer network, and then we use link-removal strategy in which a fraction of links with maximal product (ki* kj) are removed from the logical layer, where ki and kj are the degrees of node i and node j, respectively. Traffic load is strongly redistributed from center nodes to noncenter nodes. The traffic capacity of whole complex system is enhanced several times at the expense of a little average path lengthening. In two-layer network model, the physical layer network structure is unchanged and the shortest path routing strategy is used. The structure of upper layer network can been constructed freely under our own methods. This mechanism can be employed in many real complex systems to improve the network traffic capacity.

In order to study traffic dynamics on multilayer networks, it is of great significance to build a network model which can more exactly reflect the actual network layered structure characteristics. In this paper, a three-layer network model in which two logical layers are mapped on one physical layer is established, and the traffic capacities of three kinds of multilayer networks with different combinations of logical layers are compared. Simulation results show that when the physical layer is the same random network, the network whose logical layers are two random networks has the optimal traffic capacity, the network with one random network and one scale-free network in the logical layers has the better traffic capacity than the network whose logical layers are two scale-free networks.

we test the hypothesis that naming an object depicted in a picture, and reading aloud an object’s name, are affected by the object’s speed. We contend that the mental representations of everyday objects and situations include their speed, and that the latter influences behavior in instantaneous and systematic ways. An important corollary is that high-speed objects are named faster than low-speed objects despite the fact that object speed is irrelevant to the naming task at hand. The results of a series of 7 studies with pictures and words support these predictions.

Dental aerosol-generating procedures produce a large amount of splatters and aerosols that create a major concern for airborne disease transmission, such as COVID-19. This study established a method to visualise splatter and aerosol contamination by common dental instrumentation, namely ultrasonic scaling, air-water spray, high-speed and low-speed handpieces. Mock dental procedures were performed on a mannequin model, containing teeth in a typodont and a phantom head, using irrigation water containing fluorescein dye as a tracer. Filter papers were placed in 10 different locations to collect splatters and aerosols, at distances ranging from 20 to 120 cm from the source. All four types of dental equipment produced contamination from splatters and aerosols. At 120 cm away from the source, the high-speed handpiece generated the greatest amount and size (656 ± 551 μm) of splatter particles, while the triplex syringe generated the largest amount of aerosols (particle size: 1.73 ± 2.23 μm). Of note, the low-speed handpiece produced the least amount and size (260 ± 142 μm) of splatter particles and the least amount of aerosols (particle size: 4.47 ± 5.92 μm) at 120 cm. All four dental AGPs produce contamination from droplets and aerosols, with different patterns of distribution. This simple model provides a method to test various preventive strategies to reduce risks from splatter and aerosols.

AbstractIn this paper, polyvinyl chloride (PVC) coarse aggregate with different mixing contents is used to solve the problems of plastic pollution, low energy absorption capacity and poor damage integrity, which provides an important reference for PVC plastic concrete used in the initial support structures of highway tunnels and coal mine roadway. At the same time, the energy absorption characteristics and their relationship under different impact loads are studied, which provides an important reference for predicting the energy absorption characteristics of concrete under other PVC aggregate content or higher impact speed. This study replaced natural coarse aggregate in concrete with different contents and equal volume of well-graded flaky PVC particles obtained by crushing PVC soft board. Also, slump, compression, and splitting strength tests, a free falling low-speed impact test of steel balls and a high-speed impact compression test of split Hopkinson pressure bar (SHPB) were carried out. Results demonstrate that the static and dynamic compressive strength decreases substantially, and the elastic modulus and slump decrease slowly with the increase of the mixing amount of PVC aggregate (0–30%). However, the energy absorption rate under low-speed impact and the specific energy absorption per MPa under high-speed impact increase obviously, indicating that the energy absorption capacity is significantly enhanced. Regardless of the mixing amount of PVC aggregate, greater strain rate can significantly enhance the dynamic compressive strength and the specific energy absorption per MPa. After the uniaxial compression test or the SHPB impact test, the relative integrity of the specimen is positively correlated with the mixing amount of PVC aggregate. In addition, the specimens are seriously damaged with the increase of the impact strain rate. When the PVC aggregate content is 20%, the compressive strength and splitting strength of concrete are 33.8 MPa and 3.26 MPa, respectively, the slump is 165 mm, the energy absorption rate under low-speed impact is 89.5%, the dynamic compressive strength under 0.65 Mpa impact air pressure is 58.77 mpa, and the specific energy absorption value per MPa is 13.33, which meets the requirements of shotcrete used in tunnel, roadway support and other impact loads. There is a linear relationship between the energy absorption characteristics under low-speed impact and high-speed impact. The greater the impact pressure, the larger the slope of the fitting straight line. The slope and intercept of the fitting line also show a good linear relationship with the increase of impact pressure. The conclusions can be used to predict the energy absorption characteristics under different PVC aggregate content or higher-speed impact pressure, which can provide important reference for safer, more economical, and environmental protection engineering structure design.
