Abstract Chinese Medicine (CM) has been widely used as an important avenue for disease prevention and treatment in China especially in the form of CM prescriptions combining sets of herbs to address patients’ symptoms and syndromes. However, the selection and compatibility of herbs are complex and abstract due to intrinsic relationships between herbal properties and their overall functions. Network analysis is applied to demonstrate the complex relationships between individual herbal efficacy and the overall function of CM prescriptions. To illustrate their connections and correlations, prescription function (PF), prescription herb (PH), and herbal efficacy (HE) intra-networks are… More >

Abstract In online social networks (OSN), they generate several specific user activities daily, corresponding to the billions of data points shared. However, although users exhibit significant interest in social media, they are uninterested in the content, discussions, or opinions available on certain sites. Therefore, this study aims to identify influential communities and understand user behavior across networks in the information diffusion process. Social media platforms, such as Facebook and Twitter, extract data to analyze the information diffusion process, based on which they cascade information among the individuals in the network. Therefore, this study proposes an influential… More >

Abstract As a neural fingerprint, functional connectivity networks (FCNs) have been used to identify subjects from group. However, a number of studies have only paid attention to cerebral cortex when constructing the brain FCN. Other areas of the brain also play important roles in brain activities. It is widely accepted that the human brain is composed of many highly complex functional networks of cortex. Moreover, recent studies have confirmed correlations between signals of cortex and white matter (WM) bundles. Therefore, it is difficult to reflect the functional characteristics of the brain through a single-layer FCN. In… More >
