Online platforms like Reddit, Wikipedia, and Facebook are integral to modern life, enabling content creation and sharing through posts, comments, and discussions. Despite their virtual and often anonymous nature, these platforms need rules…
Teams are the fundamental units propelling innovation and advancing modern science. A rich literature links the fundamental features of teams, such as their size and diversity, to academic success. However, such analyses fail to capture…
During the outbreak of an epidemic, individuals may modify their behaviors in response to external (including local and global) infection-related information. However, the difference between local and global information in influencing the…
The quality of the classroom environment, including ventilation, air quality and thermal conditions, has an important impact on children's health and academic achievements. The use of portable HEPA filter air cleaners is widely suggested as…
Urban redevelopment often involves a delicate balance between enhancing regional connectivity and preserving local social fabric. Through a case study in Guangzhou, China, we argue that demolishing a historic street to construct a new…
Policymakers often assess the growth of science in a country and compare it with that of other countries to set future planning for scientific research focusing on the sustainable development and economic growth of the country. Here, we…
How does social complexity depend on population size and cultural transmission? Kinship structures in traditional societies provide a fundamental illustration, where cultural rules between clans determine people's marriage possibilities.…
We study numerically the dynamics of opinion formation under the influence of mass media using the $q$-voter model on a Barabasi-Albert network. We investigate the scenario where a voter adopts the mass media's opinion with a probability…
Recent research has focused on understanding how cooperation is fostered through various mechanisms in cognitive settings, particularly through pairwise interactions. However, real-world interactions often extend beyond simple dyads,…
We demonstrate that the original fundamental allometry alone cannot accurately describe the relationship between urban area and population size. Instead, building height is a third factor that interplays with area and population. To…
Contribution to the volume "In Memory of Steven Weinberg" to appear in Nuclear Physics B.
Agent-based and activity-based models for simulating transportation systems have attracted significant attention in recent years. Few studies, however, include a detailed representation of active modes of transportation - such as walking…
Pattern comparison represents a fundamental and crucial aspect of scientific modeling, artificial intelligence, and pattern recognition. Three main approaches have typically been applied for pattern comparison: (i) distances; (ii)…
K-core percolation is a fundamental dynamical process in complex networks with applications that span numerous real-world systems. Earlier studies focus primarily on random networks without spatial constraints and reveal intriguing…
Most theoretical analysis for lifetime distribution explains origins of specific distribution based on independent failure. We develop a unified framework encompassing different lifetime distribution for failure-coupled network systems. We…
Higher-order community detection (HCD) reveals both mesoscale structures and functional characteristics of real-life networks. Although many methods have been developed from diverse perspectives, to our knowledge, none can provide…
The aim of the research was to compare the quality parameters of Seawater before and after hydrodynamic cavitation treatment. The Hydrodynamic Cavitation Method for water treatment gives the highest reduction in Turbidity (100%), the second…
Our perceptions are shaped by the social networks we are embedded in. Despite the acknowledged influence of close contacts on how we perceive the world, the role of the broader social environment remains opaque. Here, we leverage a unique…
Structural balance has been posited as one of the factors influencing how friendly and hostile relations of social actors evolve over time. This study investigates the behavior of the Heider balance model in Erd\"os-R\'enyi random graphs in…
This study examines the failure and recovery, two key components of resilience of nine major urban rail networks - Washington DC, Boston, Chicago, Delhi, Tokyo, Paris, Shanghai, London, and New York - against multi-hazard scenarios…
