Opinion dynamics with similarity-based random neighbors.

Abstract:

:A typical assumption made in the existing opinion formation models is that two individuals can communicate with each other only if the distance between their opinions is less than a threshold called bound of confidence. However, in the real world it is quite possible that people may also have a few friends with quite different opinions. To model this situation, we propose a bounded confidence plus random selection model, in which each agent has several long-range neighbors outside the bound who are selected according to a similarity-based probability rule. We find that the opinions of all agents can reach a consensus in bounded time. We further consider the situation when agents ignore the bound of confidence and select all their neighbors randomly according to the similarity-based probability rule. We prove that in this scenario the whole group could also reach a consensus but in the probability sense.

  • Functional dichotomy of Vδ2 γδ T cells in chronic hepatitis C virus infections: role in cytotoxicity but not for IFN-γ production.

    abstract::Vδ2 γδ (Vδ2) T cells, a major human γδ T cell subset, exhibit broad anti-tumor and anti-infective activity; however, their precise role in chronic hepatitis C virus (HCV) infections remains unclear. In this study, we analyzed the phenotype and function of Vδ2 T cells in 43 HCV-infected patients compared to 39 healthy ...
