Little is known about the structural patterns and dynamics of the first global trading market (FGTM), which emerged during the sixteenth century as a result of the Iberian expansion, let alone how it compares to today's global financial markets. Here we build a representative network of the FGTM using information contained in 8725 (handwritten) Bills of Exchange from that time—which were (human) interpreted and digitalized into an online database. We show that the resulting temporal network exhibits a hierarchical, highly clustered and disassortative structure, with a power-law dependence on the connectivity that remains remarkably robust throughout the entire period investigated. Temporal analysis shows that, despite major turnovers in the number and nature of the links—suggesting fast adaptation in response to the geopolitical and financial turmoil experienced at the time—the overall characteristics of the FGTM remain robust and virtually unchanged. The methodology developed here demonstrates the possibility of building and analysing complex trading and finance networks originating from pre-statistical eras, enabling us to highlight the striking similarities between the structural patterns of financial networks separated by centuries in time.

As a kind of non-Newtonian fluid with special rheological features, the study of the breakup of power-law liquid jets has drawn more interest due to its extensive engineering applications. This paper investigated the effect of gas media confinement and asymmetry on the instability of power-law plane jets by linear instability analysis. The gas asymmetric conditions mainly result from unequal gas media thickness and aerodynamic forces on both sides of a liquid jet. The results show a limited gas space will strengthen the interaction between gas and liquid and destabilize the power-law liquid jet. Power-law fluid is easier to disintegrate into droplets in asymmetric gas medium than that in the symmetric case. The aerodynamic asymmetry destabilizes para-sinuous mode, whereas stabilizes para-varicose mode. For a large Weber number, the aerodynamic asymmetry plays a more significant role on jet instability compared with boundary asymmetry. The para-sinuous mode is always responsible for the jet breakup in the asymmetric gas media. With a larger gas density or higher liquid velocity, the aerodynamic asymmetry could dramatically promote liquid disintegration. Finally, the influence of two asymmetry distributions on the unstable range was analyzed and the critical curves were obtained to distinguish unstable regimes and stable regimes.

Shear-thinning power-law fluid is a kind of non-Newtonian fluid in which the viscosity is a function of shear rate. Impinging jets system is used to study the breakup characteristics of power-law liquid sheets formed by two symmetrical round jets in this study. High quality images are obtained from the experiment with a high speed camera and breakup length is extracted from the images. Closed-rim sheet, web-like sheet and ligaments sheet are observed with the increase of jet velocity. A series of images show that the wave length on the surface of sheets tends to decline as the jet velocity increases. At a low We number, the breakup length increases with an increasing We number. However, it first increases and then decreases when the liquid sheet breaks up at a high We number. The liquid jets with larger diameter collide to each other and lead to a liquid sheet with a smaller breakup length.

The dynamics of online content popularity has attracted more and more researches in recent years. In this paper, we provide a quantitative, temporal analysis about the dynamics of online content popularity in a massive system: Sina Microblog. We use time-stamped data to investigate the impact of bursty human comment patterns on the popularity of online microblog news. Statistical results indicate that the number of news and comments exhibits an exponential growth. The strength of forwarding and comment is characterized by bursts, displaying fat-tailed distribution. In order to characterize the dynamics of popularity, we explore the distribution of the time intervalΔtbetween consecutive comment bursts and find that it also follows a power-law. Bursty patterns of human comment are responsible for the power-law decay of popularity. These results are well supported by both the theoretical analysis and empirical data.

The temporal instability of a cylindrical capillary jet is analysed numerically for different liquid Reynolds numbers Re, disturbance wavenumbers k, and amplitudes ε0. The breakup mechanism of viscous liquid jets and the formation of satellite drops are described. The results show that the satellite size decreases with decreasing Re, and increasing k and ε0. Marginal Reynolds numbers below which no satellite drops are formed are obtained for a large range of wavenumbers. The growth rates of the disturbances are calculated and compared with those from the linear theory. These results match for low-Re jets, however as Re is increased the results from the linear theory slightly overpredict those from the nonlinear analysis. (At the wavenumber of k = 0.9, the linear theory underpredicts the nonlinear results.) The breakup time is shown to decrease exponentially with increasing the amplitude of the disturbance. The cut-off wavenumber is shown to be strongly dependent on the amplitude of the initial disturbance for amplitudes larger than approximately $\frac13$ of the initial jet radius. The stable oscillations of liquid jets are also investigated. The results indicate that liquid jets with Re ∼ O(1) do not oscillate, and the disturbances are overdamped. However, liquid jets with higher Re oscillate with a period which depends on Re and ε0. The period of the oscillation decreases with increasing Re at small ε0; however, it increases with increasing Re at large ε0. Marginal Reynolds numbers below which the disturbances are overdamped are obtained for a wide range of wavenumbers and ε0 = 0.05.

AbstractA Pareto distribution was used to model the magnitude data for short-period comets up to 1988. It was found using exponential probability plots that the brightness did not vary with period and that the cut-off point previously adopted can be supported statistically. Examination of the diameters of Trans-Neptunian bodies showed that a power law does not adequately fit the limited data available.

Objective The objective of the study was to examine specific patterns of Twitter usage using common reference to tinnitus. Method The study used cross-sectional analysis of data generated from Twitter data. Twitter content, language, reach, users, accounts, temporal trends, and social networks were examined. Results Around 70,000 tweets were identified and analyzed from May to October 2018. Of the 100 most active Twitter accounts, organizations owned 52%, individuals owned 44%, and 4% of the accounts were unknown. Commercial/for-profit and nonprofit organizations were the most common organization account owners (i.e., 26% and 16%, respectively). Seven unique tweets were identified with a reach of over 400 Twitter users. The greatest reach exceeded 2,000 users. Temporal analysis identified retweet outliers (> 200 retweets per hour) that corresponded to a widely publicized event involving the response of a Twitter user to another user's joke. Content analysis indicated that Twitter is a platform that primarily functions to advocate, share personal experiences, or share information about management of tinnitus rather than to provide social support and build relationships. Conclusions Twitter accounts owned by organizations outnumbered individual accounts, and commercial/for-profit user accounts were the most frequently active organization account type. Analyses of social media use can be helpful in discovering issues of interest to the tinnitus community as well as determining which users and organizations are dominating social network conversations.
