A macroeconomic perspective on the rise of second-tier cities in the national and globalizing context of China

Cadez, Fabien ; Cadez, Fabien (Dir.)

Mémoire de bachelor : Haute école de gestion de Genève, 2015 ; TDEE 278.

Since China’s economic reforms in the late 1970s, foreign investments have initially flooded the so-called “first-tier cities” including Shanghai, Beijing, or even Shenzhen or Guangzhou. Due to rising labour costs, growing constraints over natural resources, long-term inflation and environmental issues among others (Zhuang et al. 2012; Zuojun, 2012), they have been undertaking structural...

Heterogeneity, quality, and reputation in an adaptive recommendation model

Cimini, Giulio ; Medo, Matúš ; Zhou, Tao ; Wei, Dong ; Zhang, Yi-Cheng

Recommender systems help people cope with the problem of information overload. A recently proposed adaptive news recommender model [M. Medo, Y.-C. Zhang, T. Zhou, Europhys. Lett. 88, 38005 (2009)] is based on epidemic-like spreading of news in a social network. By means of agent-based simulations we study a “good get richer” feature of the model and determine which attributes are...

Scaling and memory in recurrence intervals of Internet traffic

Cai, Shi-Min ; Fu, Zhong-Qian ; Zhou, Tao ; Gu, Jun ; Zhou, Pei-Ling

In: Europhysics Letters, 2009, vol. 87, p. 68001

By studying the statistics of recurrence intervals, τ, between volatilities of Internet traffic rate changes exceeding a certain threshold q, we find that the probability distribution functions, Pq(τ), for both byte and packet flows, show scaling property as $P_{q}(\tau)=\frac{1}{\overline{\tau}}f(\frac{\tau}{\overline{\tau}})$. The scaling functions for both byte and packet flows obey the...

Scale invariance of human electroencephalogram signals in sleep

Cai, Shi-Min ; Jiang, Zhao-Hui ; Zhou, Tao ; Zhou, Pei-Ling ; Yang, Hui-Jie ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Physical Review E, 2007, vol. 76, p. 061903

In this paper, we investigate the dynamical properties of electroencephalogram (EEG) signals of humans in sleep. By using a modified random walk method, we demonstrate that scale-invariance is embedded in EEG signals after a detrending procedure is applied. Furthermore, we study the dynamical evolution of the probability density function (PDF) of the detrended EEG signals by nonextensive...

Scaling behaviour and memory in heart rate of healthy human

Cai, Shi-Min ; Peng, Hu ; Yang, Hui-Jie ; Zhou, Tao ; Zhou, Pei-Ling ; Wang, Bing-Hong

In: Chinese Physics Letters, 2007, vol. 24, no. 10, p. 3002

We investigate a set of complex heart rate time series from healthy human in different behaviour states with the detrended fluctuation analysis and diffusion entropy (DE) method. It is proposed that the scaling properties are influenced by behaviour states. The memory detected by DE exhibits an approximately same pattern after a detrending procedure. Both of them demonstrate the long-range strong...
