▼ This is a thesis about how to characterize the statistical structure of the tails of degree distributions of real-world networks. The primary contribution is a statistical test of the prevalence of scale-free structure in real-world networks. A central claim in modern network science is that real-world networks are typically "scale free," meaning that the fraction of nodes with degree k follows a power law, decaying like k^-a, often with 2 < a < 3. However, empirical evidence for this belief derives from a relatively small number of real-world networks. In the first section, we test the universality of scale-free structure by applying state-of-the-art statistical tools to a large corpus of nearly 1000 network data sets drawn from social, biological, technological, and informational sources. We fit the power-law model to each degree distribution, test its statistical plausibility, and compare it via a likelihood ratio test to alternative, non-scale-free models, e.g., the log-normal. Across domains, we find that scale-free networks are rare, with only 4% exhibiting the strongest-possible evidence of scale-free structure and 52% exhibiting the weakest-possible evidence. Furthermore, evidence of scale-free structure is not uniformly distributed across sources: social networks are at best weakly scale free, while a handful of technological and biological networks can be called strongly scale free. These results undermine the universality of scale-free networks and reveal that real-world networks exhibit a rich structural diversity that will likely require new ideas and mechanisms to explain. A core methodological component of addressing the ubiquity of scale-free structure in real-world networks is an ability to fit a power law to the degree distribution. In the second section, we numerically evaluate and compare, using both synthetic data with known structure and real-world data with unknown structure, two statistically principled methods for estimating the tail parameters for power-law distributions, showing that in practice, a method based on extreme value theory and a sophisticated bootstrap and the more commonly used method based an empirical minimization approach exhibit similar accuracy.

The reliability of portable electronic devices was studied by applying standardized test procedures for test vehicles that represent the technologies and lead-free materials typically used in novel portable products. Thermal cycling and drop testing are commonly used because they reveal the failure modes and mechanisms that portable devices experience in operational environments. A large number of component boards were assembled in a full-scale production line to enable proper statistical and fractographic analyses. The test boards were assembled with different printed wiring board protective coatings, component under bump metallizations, and solder pad structures. The component boards were tested and the times-to-failure of the various combinations were statistically analyzed. The reliability data were also analyzed by the Weibull method, and the characteristic lifetimes and shape parameters were calculated. The failure modes under the thermal cycling, where solder interconnections fail by cracking through the bulk solder, were different from those observed in the drop tests, where cracks propagate along the intermetallic layers on either side of the interconnections. Under the thermomechanical loading the as-soldered microstructure, which is composed of only a few large eutectic colonies, undergoes local recrystallization that produces networks of grain boundaries along which the intergranular cracks damage solder interconnections. Under the mechanical shock loading, in turn, the strain–rate hardening of the solder material forces cracks to propagate in the intermetallic layers instead of the bulk solder. It was found that the reliability of solder interconnections can improve when the component boards have undergone thermal cycles before drop testing. The high-angle boundaries between the recrystallized grains generated during thermal cycling provide paths along which cracks can propagate but the propagation through the bulk solder consumes more energy than the propagation through brittle intermetallic layers. On the other hand, prolonged lifetime at elevated temperatures can reduce the drop test reliability considerably due to the formation of Kirkendall voids in the Cu3Sn intermetallic layers.

▼ Efficiently storing and processing massive graph data sets is a challenging problem as researchers seek to leverage “Big Data” to answer next-generation scientific questions. New techniques are required to process large scale-free graphs in shared, distributed, and external memory. This dissertation develops new techniques to parallelize the storage, computation, and communication for scale-free graphs with high-degree vertices. Our work facilitates the processing of large real-world graph datasets through the development of parallel algorithms and tools that scale to large computational and memory resources, overcoming challenges not addressed by existing techniques. Our aim is to scale to trillions of edges, and our research is targeted at leadership class supercomputers, clusters with local non-volatile memory, and shared memory systems. We present three novel techniques to address scaling challenges in processing large scale-free graphs. We apply an asynchronous graph traversal technique using prioritized visitor queues that is capable of tolerating data latencies to the external graph storage media and message passing communication. To accommodate large high-degree vertices, we present an edge list partitioning technique that evenly partitions graphs containing high-degree vertices. Finally, we propose a technique we call distributed delegates that distributes and parallelizes the storage, computation, and communication when processing high-degree vertices. The edges of high-degree vertices are distributed, providing additional opportunities for parallelism not present in existing methods. We apply our techniques to multiple graph algorithms: Breadth-First Search, Single Source Shortest Path, Connected Components, K-Core decomposition, Triangle Counting, and Page Rank. Our experimental study of these algorithms demonstrates excellent scalability on supercomputers, clusters with non-volatile memory, and shared memory systems. Our study includes multiple synthetic scale-free graph models, the largest of which has trillion edges, and real-world input graphs. On a supercomputer, we demonstrate scalability up to 131K processors, and improve the best known Graph500 results for IBM BG/P Intrepid by 15%.

▼ In Spain, two smoke-free laws have been passed after the approval of the FCTC. In 2005, it came into effect a smoke-free legislation (Law 28/2005). This law was a great advance for public health in Spain; however, it was not complete in terms of health protection to secondhand smoke (SHS) exposure because it allowed smoking in hospitality sectors according to size of venues. The scientific evaluation of this law showed the need to promote a total ban and motivate the modification of the law in 2010 (Law 42/2010), extending the smoke-free regulation to all hospitality venues without exception and to some outdoors areas, including hospital premises, educational campuses, and playgrounds. The objectives of this doctoral thesis were: To assess the impact of the Spanish smoking legislations (Law 28/2005 and Law 42/2010) on tobacco epidemic (changes in consumption, dependence, motivation to quit and smoking cessation) among smokers of a general population cohort through self-reported information and biomarkers. To evaluate the impact of the Spanish tobacco control legislation on exposure to environmental tobacco smoke (self-reported and according to levels of cotinine in saliva) on non-smokers in a cohort population. To analyze the changes in the pattern of passive smoking of the non-smokers (displacement of exposure at workplace and leisure time to home) according to age, sex, and socioeconomic level. To analyze the correlation between the implementation of tobacco control policies and tobacco consumption, particularly rolling tobacco, electronic cigarettes (e-cigarettes) users and the intent to quit smoking in 27 countries of the European Union. To describe the acceptability of the recently implemented tobacco products regulations and to explore their relation with tobacco control legislation levels in Europe. The results of this doctoral thesis has been conducted through seven scientific articles, four of them published in journals indexed in Web of Science and three of them in peer review in journals indexed in Web of Science (please see the Section Scientific Articles of this thesis). Moreover, during my training in this doctoral thesis I got involved in other two articles one published and the other in peer review, both in journals indexed in Web of Science. In conclusion, the implementation of the two smoke-free legislations in Spain is related to a reduction in smoking prevalence and SHS exposure (either using salivary cotinine concentrations or information on self-reported exposure). However, the consumption of other tobacco products, particularly hand-rolled tobacco, has increased specially among young population. A significant increase was found in the salivary cotinine concentration among adult continuing smokers after both Spanish legislations. After the implementation of the two Spanish smoke-free bans, the main setting of SHS is in the leisure time and in work, where most of the exposed ones declared expending most of the time outdoor and not having specific areas for smokers.

The dramatic resurgence and emergence of epidemic dengue and dengue hemorragic fever in the last two decades neatly define a global pandemic. The dispersion of dengue viruses combines local infections of humans bited by infective mosquitoes inside a city with long-range transmissions to non-infective vectors that feed the blood of infected people arriving from other urban areas. In the present work a cellular automata model for dengue epidemic is proposed and investigated through large-scale computer simulations. The model takes into account the main features concerning the population dynamics of mosquitoes and humans and the disease transmission cycle. Furthermore, the model is defined on a scale-free network in which each node is a square lattice in order to properly describe the environment as urban centers interconnected through a national transportation system. A nonzero epidemic threshold is found and it is approached with a power law behavior by the density of infected individuals, as observed in the small-world network of Watts and Strogatz. Also, it is studied the importance of three parameters for the dengue spreading: the diffusivity of the mosquitoes, the probability of a mosquito bites humans, and the travel s probability of people between two interconnected cities. Finally, maps of infected individuals are obtained in order to caracterise the epidemic spreading.

O dramático ressurgimento e a emergência da epidemia de dengue e dengue hemorrágica nas últimas duas décadas claramente definem uma pandemia global. A dispersão do vírus da dengue combina infecções locais dos seres humanos picados por mosquitos infectados dentro de uma cidade com transmissões de longo alcance por vetores não-infecciosos que se alimentam do sangue de pessoas infectadas provenientes de outras zonas urbanas. No presente trabalho um modelo de autômatos celulares para epidemias de dengue é proposto e investigado através de siulação por computador, em larga escala. O modelo leva em conta as principais características relativas à dinâmica das populações de mosquitos e seres humanos e o ciclo de transmissão da doença. Além disso, o modelo é definido em uma rede livre de escala, em que cada nó é uma rede quadrada, a fim de descrever adequadamente o meio ambiente como os centros urbanos interligados através do sistema de transporte nacional. Um limiar epidêmico diferente de zero é encontrado e é aproximado com um comportamento tipo lei de potência pela densidade de indivíduos infectados, como observado na rede mundo-pequeno de Watts-Strogatz. Também, é estudada a importância de três parâmetros na dispersão da dengue: a difusividade do mosquito, a probabilidade do mosquito picar um ser humano, e a probabilidade de viagem de pessoas entre duas cidades conectadas. Por fim, mapas de indivíduos infectados são obtidos a fim de caracterizar a difusão da epidemia.

▼ An accurate prediction of propeller hull interaction is an important step in the design of a new vessel. The prediction of full-scale flow phenomena, which eliminates scale effects, is becoming available due to increasing computational power. However, the complexity of full-scale CFD calculations combined with a lack of validation data results in unknown uncertainties. This study contributes to the uncertainty estimation for full-scale calculations by answering the question With what uncertainty can we currently numerically predict resistance and propeller power on full-scale Reynolds numbers?. The resistance and propeller flow predictions are done for the general cargo vessel MV-regal for three cases; a double body, a free surface resistance simulation and an open water propeller simulation. The simulations are performed for the design speed of 14 knots, resulting in a full-scale Reynolds number of 푅푒 = 1.12 ⋅ 10ዃ. The discretization error is determined by the grid refinement study as presented by Eça and Hoekstra for the propulsion parameters; resistance coefficients and the wake factor. For each case the flow field is analysed, an uncertainty assessment is made and the results are compared to a group of numerical results for the same simulation performed by 20 participants of a case study organised by Lloyd’s register on the same vessel as is considered in this thesis. Modelling the boundary layer of a flat plate on model and full-scale Reynolds numbers encourages the use of unstructured grids for full-scale Reynolds numbers. The uncertainties as predicted by the grid refinement study, vary between 0.6 and 24.5 percent for the friction coefficient. For the 푅푒 = 10⁷ the values are compared to a structured grid study, which had a better trend over the grid refinement series. Comparison to theoretical friction coefficient calculations confirmed the absolute friction result. The double body simulation, performed on the full-scale number 푅푒 = 1.12 ⋅ 10⁹, demonstrated the use of the unstructured grids on the full-scale Reynolds numbers. The iterative error had to be closely monitored in order to get a stable solution. While the iterative errors had the same order of magnitude, the uncertainties as predicted by the grid refinement study for the propulsion parameters varied between 1.5 and 140 percent. This is an unacceptable large scatter in uncertainty which calls for another method to determine the uncertainty. The free surface simulation added complexity, by modelling the free surface resistance of the vessel. The order of convergence is lower for the free surface simulation, which creates a higher iterative error in the uncertainty assessment. The discretization uncertainty prediction varies between 2.7 and 23.5 percent. The open water simulation, which is based on a hybrid grid of structured and unstructured grids, showed for the monitored parameters a sufficiently low iterative error and a low discretization uncertainty (between 0.1 and 3.4 percent) for the thrust and torque… Advisors/Committee Members: van Terwisga, Thomas (mentor), Schenke, Sören (mentor), Pourquie, MAthieu (mentor), Vaz, Guilherme (mentor), Schuiling, Bart (mentor), Delft University of Technology (degree granting institution).

▼ Reliable computational modelling of chemical processes in condensed phases such as computation of the activation free energies requires both extensive configurational sampling and an appropriate level of theoretical treatment. The former is necessary for capturing solute-solvent fluctuations (which is extremely problematic in the energy-minimization approach) and for obtaining convergent free energies, while the latter is required for reliable description of redistribution of electron density during chemical processes and the corresponding energetics. These two factors make computational cost of ab initio QM/MM (QM(ai)/MM) simulations extremely high or even prohibitively expensive for the real system of interest such as chemical reactions in aqueous solution and enzymatic reactions. A powerful general approach, which circumvents these problems, is the reference potential based Paradynamics approach. In this approach the extensive configurational sampling is performed at a lower level of theory using a cheaper (computationally) reference potential rather than directly on the expensive target QM(ai)/MM potential. This is followed by calculating the free energy perturbation of moving from the reference potential to the target potential. ❧ In this work, a number of advances is presented which are made to the QM(ai)/MM free energy computation techniques in general and to the reference potential strategy in particular. First, a formulation of the reference potential based Paradynamics model is given. Chapter 1 addresses an important issue of improving the convergence of the linear response approximation (LRA), which is used to calculate the free energy perturbation from the EVB reference potential to the QM target potential. The improvement in the LRA convergence is achieved by iteratively reducing the difference between the two potentials by fitting EVB parameters to the energy and its derivatives of the target potential. A thorough comparative analysis of the computational cost of the Paradynamics approach is given relative to other methods based on the direct sampling of the target potential. In Chapter 2, an extensive study exploring, refining, and quantifying the Paradynamics model is given. First, a different refinement strategy for a general reference potential is formulated, where the difference between the reference potential and the target QM/MM surface is reduced using the correction potentials comprised of Gaussian functions along the reaction coordinates. Additionally we propose a way of accelerating the potential of mean force calculations by using a combination of the same correction potentials along the reaction coordinates and a solvent polarizing potential. Secondly, it is rigorously demonstrated how to gradually and in a controlled way improve calculations of the free energy perturbations associated with moving from the reference potential to the target QM/MM surface using the multi-step free energy perturbation approach. Furthermore, the LRA treatment is validate by comparing it to the full FEP… Advisors/Committee Members: Warshel, Arieh (Committee Chair), Benderskii, Alexander V.

▼ Warm Mix Asphalt (WMA) was introduced in Europe in 1995. WMA is gaining attention because it offers several advantages over Hot Mix Asphalt (HMA). The advantages include (1) reduced energy consumption in the asphalt mixture production process; (2) reduced emissions, fumes, and undesirable odors; (3) reduced binder aging;and (4) extended construction season in temperate climates. Moisture damage can be defined as the effect of environmental factors such as water, temperature, and air on the performance of asphalt concrete pavement. The asphalt mix consists of aggregate (in different sizes) and asphalt binder being compacted to a specified air void ratio. Due to traffic load with existence of water, asphalt concrete mix will start to lose adhesion between aggregate and binder or lose cohesion within the binder itself. The main objective of this study is to assess the performance of WMA and HMA in presence of water by using nano scale techniques and Surface Free Energy (SFE)concepts, and then compare the results with asphalt pavement traditional laboratory tests. In this study, the bitumen’s main functional groups were determined by using Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) Spectroscopy. The mineral compositions of aggregate were analyzed by using X-Ray diffraction (XRD) technique. Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) was used to measure the surface free energy of aggregate and asphalt binder. It can also be used to make a high quality (Three Dimensional) images for smooth and leveled surfaces. Asphalt mix samples were prepared in the laboratory using Superpave Gyratory Compactor (SGC) with different thicknesses and diameters. Half of the asphalt mix samples were conditioned to study the effect of moisture on the performance of the mix. Air void structure and aggregate orientation of the asphalt mix were examined by using X-Ray Computed Tomography (X-Ray CT). X-Ray CT images were analyzed by using computer software called AVIZO Fire (version 6.3) to measure the air void ratio, void sizes, and void distribution. Simple Performance Tester (SPT) was used to perform dynamic modulus test. The test was performed on both unconditioned and conditioned samples to compare the results. MTS machine was used to perform the Indirect Tensile Strength (ITS) on the unconditioned and conditioned asphalt mix samples. Thermal cracking temperature for compacted asphalt sample was determined by using Asphalt Concrete Cracking Device (ACCD). The permanent deformation (Rutting) of asphalt concrete was determined by using Asphalt Pavement Analyzer (APA). Based on the traditional laboratory test results, all mixes are high resistant to moisture damage with slight differences in the performance of HMA over WMA. Dynamic modulus test results were used as inputs to find the relaxation modulus and creep compliance. Two asphalt mixes from two different plants in the state of Ohio were evaluated. Based on the traditional laboratory tests results, the performance of the HMA was higher than the WMA for each project and this… Advisors/Committee Members: Sargand, Shad (Advisor).

▼ Understanding transcriptional regulation of gene expression on a genome-wide scale is predicated on deciphering interactions between all participating regulatory proteins and DNA. Advances in genomics are facilitating the high-throughput identification of these interactions, and graphs are emerging as indispensable tools for explaining how the connections in the network drive organismal phenotypic plasticity.In this work, I first present an investigative inquiry whose goal was to identify the source of unaligned sequence reads generated in studies aimed at identifying transcription factor binding sites (TFBSs). Determining TFBSs and the resulting architectures of gene regulatory networks (GRNs) relies on chromatin immunoprecipitation followed by massively parallel sequencing (ChIP-Seq) methods. ChIP-Seq furnishes millions of short reads that, after alignment, describe the TFBSs of a particular transcription factor (TF). However, in all organisms investigated an average of 40% of reads fail to align to the corresponding genome, with some datasets having as much as 80% of reads failing to align. I describe here the provenance of previously unaligned reads in ChIP-Seq experiments from animals and plants. I show that a substantial portion corresponds to sequences of bacterial and metazoan origin, irrespective of the ChIP-Seq chromatin source. Unforeseen was the finding that 30% - 40% of unaligned reads were actually align-able. To validate these observations, I investigated the characteristics of the previously unaligned reads corresponding to TAL1, a human TF involved in lineage specification of hemopoietic cells. I show that, while unmapped ChIP-Seq read data sets contain foreign DNA sequences, additional TFBSs can be identified from the previously unaligned ChIP-Seq reads. These results indicate that the re-evaluation of previously unaligned reads from ChIP-Seq experiments contributes significantly to TF target identification and determination of emergent properties of GRNs.Secondly, I describe the architectural organization and associated emergent topological properties of GRNs that describe protein-DNA interactions (PDIs) in several model eukaryotes. By analyzing GRN connectivity, results presented here show that the anticipated scale-free network architectures are characterized by organism-specific power law scaling exponents. These exponents are independent of the fraction of the GRN experimentally sampled, enabling prediction of properties of the complete GRN for an organism. I further demonstrate that the exponents describe inequalities in TF-target gene recognition across GRNs. These observations have the important biological implication that they predict the existence of an intrinsic organism-specific trans and/or cis regulatory landscape that constrains GRN topologies. Consequently, architectural GRN organization drives not only phenotypic plasticity within a species, but is also likely implicated in species-specific phenotype.Lastly, I discuss future perspectives of this work. I briefly present models that… Advisors/Committee Members: Slotkin, Richard (Advisor), Grotewold, Erich (Committee Co-Chair).

▼ Geostatistical modeling of natural phenomena is an essential step in the development petroleum reservoirs and mineral deposits. This numerical modeling involves simulation of the geological attributes conditional to available relevant data sampled at various scales. The simulation is usually performed at a point scale on a grid of regularly spaced nodes. The simulated results are non-reproducible and order dependent when another simulation is performed on a closer spacing in some areas or for an expanded study area. A grid-free geostatistical simulation (GFS) method is proposed and developed in this thesis, where the properties of natural phenomena are modeled as a function of the coordinates of the simulation locations. The resulting realizations are conditioned to the data values, preserve the spatial structure of the modeled system, and the relationship between system's variables. Simulation is performed at the point scale and can be upscaled to larger volumes to establish block-scale realizations. The conditioning data can be expressed as a set of scattered point-scale data values or a set of regularly sampled block-scale data values. Gridded block-scale data are converted to pseudo point-scale values using a point-scale block value representation technique to avoid artifacts in the simulated values. The grid-free simulation proceeds as follows. The 1-D unconditional stochastic processes are generated in a grid-free manner with a proposed Fourier series simulation (FSS), where the target covariance function is decomposed with a Fourier series, and simulation is reconstructed with linear model of regionalization as a weighted sum of the Fourier coefficients and periodic stochastic cosine functions expressed as a function of the coordinates and a random phase. 2-D and 3-D unconditional stochastic processes are simulated grid-free using the modified turning bands concept, where a set of 1-D line processes with covariance functions related to the target 2-D/3-D covariance function is linearly combined to obtain realizations in the higher dimensional space. In the modified turning bands method, the bands are replaced with the points and line process simulation is carried out with the FSS as a function the projected simulation location on a line. The anisotropy is addressed by affine transformation of the simulation space. The conditioning is performed using kriging in a dual form to reduce computational time. Modeling of multivariate systems is possible with the linear model of coregionalization. The weighted random factors are summed to obtain valid multivariate realizations. The assimilation of the secondary gridded data is performed with intrinsic cokriging, where the secondary data at a simulation location and all primary data locations are used in the conditioning. When the secondary data do not cover the entire simulation domain, the secondary data is projected to the simulation location and weighted appropriately to avoid edge artifacts. The simulation of the nugget effect component is expressed as a function…

▼ Three surveys (one oblate and two triaxial) of dynamical models of E6 elliptical galaxies were constructed in a flattened isothermal gravitational potential. These models represent a complete survey of all three dimensional shapes possible for these galaxies that are consistent with observations. Observational properties of the models are compared with observations of E6 ellipticals in order to constrain the shape of the galaxies. The models differ in the angular distribution of their density and potentials. A surface of constant potential of the oblate models is axisymmetric about its short axis whose length (q) is 0.75 times the length of the degenerate long axis. The triaxial models also have q = .075. The length of their intermediate axes are 0.8 (almost prolate models) or 0.9 (almost oblate models) times the length of their long axes. Thus, when a model is 'viewed' from its intermediate or degen- erate axis it appears as an E6 galaxy. The models were built using Schwarzschild's method of linear programming. The oblate models are axisymmetric. Consequently, the galaxy can be supported in two ways; a large velocity dispersion in the (omega) direction (cylindrical coordinates, (omega)('2) = x('2) + y('2)) or a large disper- sion in the (phi) direction. The triaxial models lack this symmetry and thus the spatially averaged second moments of the velocity in the direction of their principal axes is approximately the same for all models. Oblate models always have their axis of rotation along their minor axis and thus they have no minor axis rotation. Almost all tri- axial models can have minor axis rotation. Triaxial models can be constructed in either potential with their projected axes of rotation at any position angle with respect to the major axes of the galaxies. Almost oblate models can be constructed that only rotate along their minor axis. Almost prolate models can be constructed with only major axis rotation. The most surprising result is that in most models, the position angle of maximum observed rotation is not orthogonal to the position angle of zero rotation. Only one galaxy (NGC 4261) is know to have minor axis rotation. This indicates that either most elliptical galaxies are oblate or some process in their formation prohibits minor axis rotation.

Computer and Information Science

Rather than being randomly wired together, the components of complex network systems are recently reported to represent a scale-free architecture, in which the node degree distribution follows power-law. While social networks are scale-free, it is natural to utilize their structural properties in some social network applications. As a result, this dissertation explores social network architectures, and in turn, leverages these architectures to facilitate some influence and information propagation applications. Social network architectures are analyzed in two different aspects. The first aspect focuses on the node degree snowballing effects (i.e., degree growth effects) in social networks, which is based on an age-sensitive preferential attachment model. The impact of the initial links is explored, in terms of accelerating the node degree snowballing effects. The second aspect focuses on Nested Scale-Free Architectures (NSFAs) for social networks. The scale-free architecture is a classic concept, which means that the node degree distribution follows the power-law distribution. `Nested' indicates that the scale-free architecture is preserved when low-degree nodes and their associated connections are iteratively removed. NSFA has a bounded hierarchy. Based on the social network structure, this dissertation explores two influence propagation applications for the Social Influence Maximization Problem (SIMP). The first application is a friend recommendation strategy with the perspective of social influence maximization. For the system provider, the objective is to recommend a fixed number of new friends to a given user, such that the given user can maximize his/her social influence through making new friends. This problem is proved to be NP-hard by reduction from the SIMP. A greedy friend recommendation algorithm with an approximation ratio of 1-e^-1 is proposed. The second application studies the SIMP with the crowd influence, which is NP-hard, monotone, non-submodular, and inapproximable in general graphs. However, since user connections in Online Social Networks (OSNs) are not random, approximations can be obtained by leveraging the structural properties of OSNs. The modularity, denoted by Δ, is proposed to measure to what degree this problem violates the submodularity. Two approximation algorithms are proposed with ratios of \frac{1}{Δ+2} and 1-e^-1/(Δ+1), respectively. Beside the influence propagation applications, this dissertation further explores three different information propagation applications. The first application is a social network quarantine strategy, which can eliminate epidemic outbreaks with minimal isolation costs. This problem is NP-hard. An approximation algorithm with a ratio of 2 is proposed through utilizing the problem properties of feasibility and minimality. The second application is a rating prediction scheme, called DynFluid, based on the fluid dynamics. DynFluid analogizes the rating reference among the users in OSNs to the…

▼ In this dissertation we investigate the behavior of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) from the degree distribution and evolution perspective. In specific, we focus on implementation of a scale-free degree distribution topology for energy efficient WSNs.; WSNs is an emerging technology that finds its applications in different areas such as environment monitoring, agricultural crop monitoring, forest fire monitoring, and hazardous chemical monitoring in war zones. This technology allows us to collect data without human presence or intervention. Energy conservation/efficiency is one of the major issues in prolonging the active life WSNs. Recently, many energy aware and fault tolerant topology control algorithms have been presented, but there is dearth of research focused on energy conservation/efficiency of WSNs.; Therefore, we study energy efficiency and fault-tolerance in WSNs from the degree distribution and evolution perspective. Self-organization observed in natural and biological systems has been directly linked to their degree distribution. It is widely known that scale-free distribution bestows robustness, fault-tolerance, and access efficiency to system. Fascinated by these properties, we propose two complex network theoretic self-organizing models for adaptive WSNs. In particular, we focus on adopting the Barabasi and Albert scale-free model to fit into the constraints and limitations of WSNs. We developed simulation models to conduct numerical experiments and network analysis. The main objective of studying these models is to find ways to reducing energy usage of each node and balancing the overall network energy disrupted by faulty communication among nodes.; The first model constructs the wireless sensor network relative to the degree (connectivity) and remaining energy of every individual node. We observed that it results in a scale-free network structure which has good fault tolerance properties in face of random node failures. The second model considers additional constraints on the maximum degree of each node as well as the energy consumption relative to degree changes. This gives more realistic results from a dynamical network perspective. It results in balanced network-wide energy consumption. The results show that networks constructed using the proposed approach have good properties for different centrality measures.; The outcomes of the presented research are beneficial to building WSN control models with greater self-organization properties which leads to optimal energy consumption.
