THE CONSEQUENCES OF THE INTERNET FOR POLITICS by V. P. Terin

“…Barack Obama influences global politics as if it were operation system of the computer. Thus the author believes that such problems as determination of the driving forces of the Arab spring and real reasons for the USA refusal to sign new telecommunications treaty at the ITU conference in Dubai deserve special analysis taking into account the role of the information and communication technologies.…”

Compression Behavior of Confined Columns with High-Volume Fly Ash Concrete by Sung-Won Yoo, Young Cheol Choi, Wonchang Choi

“…The study variables were the HVFA replacement rate, tied steel ratio, and tie steel spacing. The computed ultimate strength by the American Concrete Institute (ACI) code conservatively predicted the measured values, and, thus, the existing equation in the ACI code is feasible for confined RC columns that contain HVFA. …”

Persistent Homology Combined with Machine Learning for Social Network Activity Analysis by Zhijian Zhang, Yuqing Sun, Yayun Liu, Lin Jiang, Zhengmi Li

“…This paper first creates an ego network for each user, encodes the higher-order topological features of the ego network as persistence diagrams using persistence homology, and computes the persistence entropy. Then, based on the persistence entropy, this paper defines the Norm Entropy-NE(X) to represent the complexity of the topological features of the ego network, a larger NE(X) indicates a higher topological complexity, i.e., the higher the activity of the nodes, thus indicating the degree of activity of the nodes. …”
