Line Loss01:10

Line Loss

535
The different configurations of source-load connections include wye (star) and delta connections. The relationship between line and phase voltages and currents varies depending on the configuration. When the source is supplying power, it is transmitted through the wires to the load, and during this transmission, some power is absorbed by the wires, leading to line loss.
Line loss impacts power delivery efficiency in a balanced three-phase circuit. The symmetry in such a circuit simplifies the...

Protein Networks

4.5K
An organism can have thousands of different proteins, and these proteins must cooperate to ensure the health of an organism. Proteins bind to other proteins and form complexes to carry out their functions. Many proteins interact with multiple other proteins creating a complex network of protein interactions.
These interactions can be represented through maps depicting protein-protein interaction networks, represented as nodes and edges. Nodes are circles that are representative of a protein,...

Reducing Line Loss01:18

Reducing Line Loss

372
In a three-phase circuit, line loss is an indicator of energy dissipated as heat due to the resistance of transmission lines. To address this, incorporating transformers into the system—a step-up transformer at the source and a step-down transformer at the load—is a strategic solution. Two three-phase transformers are introduced to improve this.
With a step-up transformer at the source, the voltage is increased, thereby reducing the current in the transmission lines since power loss in...

Network Covalent Solids02:18

Network Covalent Solids

16.1K
Network covalent solids contain a three-dimensional network of covalently bonded atoms as found in the crystal structures of nonmetals like diamond, graphite, silicon, and some covalent compounds, such as silicon dioxide (sand) and silicon carbide (carborundum, the abrasive on sandpaper). Many minerals have networks of covalent bonds.
To break or to melt a covalent network solid, covalent bonds must be broken. Because covalent bonds are relatively strong, covalent network solids are typically...

Major Losses in Pipes01:28

Major Losses in Pipes

2.0K
When a fluid flows through a pipe, it experiences energy losses due to frictional resistance along the pipe walls, known as major losses. These energy losses result in a pressure drop, which varies based on the flow conditions — whether laminar or turbulent — and the specific physical properties of the fluid and pipe.
Fluid flow can be classified as laminar or turbulent, primarily based on the Reynolds number. This dimensionless number reflects the relative influence of inertial to viscous...

Area of Science:

  • Network science
  • Computational biology
  • Systems pharmacology

Background:

  • Network analysis is crucial for understanding complex systems.
  • Bipartite networks, common in science, consist of two distinct entity subsets.
  • Monopartite projections are often used to analyze bipartite networks but can lead to information loss.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce novel approaches for quantifying information loss in bipartite network projections.
  • To assess the interpretability limitations inherent in monopartite projections.
  • To identify key determinants of information loss during projection.

Main Methods:

  • Development of two distinct methodologies for measuring information loss.
  • Application of these methods to drug-target and disease-gene bipartite networks in network pharmacology.
  • Analysis of the relationship between vertex degree and information loss.

Main Results:

  • The study presents two quantitative approaches to measure information loss.
  • Information loss is significantly influenced by the degree of omitted vertices during projection.
  • Analysis of network pharmacology examples highlights the impact of vertex degree.

Conclusions:

  • The degree of vertices omitted is the primary factor driving information loss in bipartite network projections.
  • Understanding and quantifying this information loss is critical for accurate network analysis.
  • The developed methods offer valuable tools for network pharmacology and other complex systems research.
