When we represent real-world systems as networks, the directions of links often convey valuable information. Finding module structures that respect link directions is one of the most important tasks for analysing directed networks. Although many notions of a directed module have been proposed, no consensus has been reached. This lack of consensus results partly because there might exist distinct types of modules in a single directed network, whereas most previous studies focused on an independent criterion for modules. To address this issue, we propose a generic notion of the so-called truss structures in directed networks. Our definition of truss is able to extract two distinct types of trusses, named the cycle truss and the flow truss, from a unified framework. By applying the method for finding trusses to empirical networks obtained from a wide range of research fields, we find that most real networks contain both cycle and flow trusses. In addition, the abundance of (and the overlap between) the two types of trusses may be useful to characterize module structures in a wide variety of empirical networks. Our findings shed light on the importance of simultaneously considering different types of modules in directed networks.

By using on-orbit replacement and assembly technology, some fresh ideas and methods for the design, produce and application of spacecraft were put forward. Universal structure is one of the most basic requirements of On-Orbit replacement, assembly. Module structure must obey the rules of the Operationally Responsive Space (ORS). According to the degree of spacecraft module division, two module structures were proposed, and the complex structure was analyzed to verify the correctness of it.

AbstractThe level l Fock space admits canonical bases $\mathcal{G}_{e}$ and $\smash{\mathcal{G}_{\infty}}$. They correspond to $\smash{\mathcal{U}_{v}(\widehat{\mathfrak{sl}}_{e})}$ and $\mathcal{U}_{v}({\mathfrak{sl}}_{\infty})$-module structures. We establish that the transition matrices relating these two bases are unitriangular with coefficients in ℕ[v]. Restriction to the highest-weight modules generated by the empty l-partition then gives a natural quantization of a theorem by Geck and Rouquier on the factorization of decomposition matrices which are associated to Ariki–Koike algebras.

AbstractLet G be a finite reflection group acting in a complex vector space V = ℂr, whose coordinate ring will be denoted by S. Any element γ ∈ GL(V) which normalises G acts on the ring SG of G-invariants. We attach invariants of the coset Gγ to this action, and show that if G′ is a parabolic subgroup of G, also normalised by γ, the invariants attaching to G′γ are essentially the same as those of Gγ. Four applications are given. First, we give a generalisation of a result of Springer-Stembridge which relates the module structures of the coinvariant algebras of G and G′ and secondly, we give a general criterion for an element of Gγ to be regular (in Springer’s sense) in invariant-theoretic terms, and use it to prove that up to a central element, all reflection cosets contain a regular element. Third, we prove the existence in any well-generated group, of analogues of Coxeter elements of the real reflection groups. Finally, we apply the analysis to quotients of G which are themselves reflection groups.

The pathological features of Alzheimer’s Disease (AD) first appear in the medial temporal lobe and then in other brain structures with the development of the disease. In this work, we investigated the association between genetic loci and subcortical structure volumes of AD on 393 samples in the Alzheimer’s Disease Neuroimaging Initiative (ADNI) cohort. Brain subcortical structures were clustered into modules using Pearson’s correlation coefficient of volumes across all samples. Module volumes were used as quantitative traits to identify not only the main effect loci but also the interactive effect loci for each module. Thirty-five subcortical structures were clustered into five modules, each corresponding to a particular brain structure/area, including the limbic system (module I), the corpus callosum (module II), thalamus–cerebellum–brainstem–pallidum (module III), the basal ganglia neostriatum (module IV), and the ventricular system (module V). Gene Ontology (GO) and Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment results indicate that the gene annotations of the five modules were distinct, with few overlaps between different modules. We identified several main effect loci and interactive effect loci for each module. All these loci are related to the function of module structures and basic biological processes such as material transport and signal transduction.

The C4 grass Arundinella hirta is characterized by unusual leaf blade anatomy: photosynthetic carbon reduction takes place both within the chlorenchymatous bundle sheath cells of the longitudinal veins and within longitudinal strands of "distinctive cells" that form part of the leaf mesophyll and are often completely isolated from vascular tissue. Although they are equivalent physiologically, these two cell types have different ontogenetic origins: bundle sheath cells are delimited from procambium early in leaf development, whereas distinctive cells differentiate from ground meristem at a later developmental stage. Although the two cell types share numerous cytological features (large chloroplasts with reduced grana, thick cell walls with a suberin lamella), we also found significant differences in cell lengths, length to width ratios, cell cross-sectional areas, organelle numbers per cell cross section, phenol content of the cell walls, and numbers of pit fields in the longitudinal cell walls. The size and shape of bundle sheath cells are likely a direct consequence of procambial origin. The thicker walls of bundle sheath cells (in major veins) and their greater lignification may reflect the inductive effect of cell differentiation in the proximity of sclerenchyma and vascular tissues. Differences between major and minor vein bundle sheath cells may reflect differences in the timing of initiation of procambial strands. Our analysis of cell wall characteristics has also shown the presence of numerous primary pit fields in the transverse walls between adjacent distinctive cells in a file; plasmodesmata in these pit fields form a pathway for longitudinal symplastic transport not previously known to exist.
