Robustness of Dengue Complex Network under Targeted versus Random Attack by Hafiz Abid Mahmood Malik, Faiza Abid, Mohamed Ridza Wahiddin, Zeeshan Bhatti

“…The dengue epidemic network presented robust behaviour under random attack, and this network turned out to be more vulnerable when the hubs of higher degree have higher probability to fail. Moreover, representation of this network has been projected, and hub removal impact has been shown on the real map of Gombak (Malaysia).…”

APPLICATION OF SINMAP AND ANALYSIS OF MODEL SENSITIVITY – CASE STUDIES FROM GERMANY AND CHINA by BENNI THIEBES, RAINER BELL, THOMAS GLADE, JIAN WANG, SHIBIAO BAI

“…Landslides cause significant damage in many parts of the world and consequently many efforts have been made to forecast the spatial probability of future slope failures. In particular regional landslide susceptibility and hazard models have become popular over the last years because they delineate areas which are likely to experience slope failures in the future, which is important, e.g. for spatial planning purposes. …”

Game Theoretic Request Scheduling with Queue Priority in Video Sensor Networks by Jia Zhao, Jianfeng Guan, Changqiao Xu, Wei Su

“…In the game, video sensors select their heads to decide the arriving rates of both normal and abnormal requests; the heads decide the probability of handing over the abnormal requests. At the Nash Equilibrium Point (NEP), the normal data requesters optimize mean delay, the abnormal data requesters optimize mean blocking rate, and the heads balance the request load on them. …”
