The spread of an infection, a contagion, meme, emotion, message and various other spreadable objects have been discussed in several works. Burning and firefighting have been discussed in particular on static graphs. Graph burning simulates…
Climate change will jeopardize food security. Food security involves the robustness of the global agri-food system. This agri-food system is intricately connected to systems centering around health, economy, social-cultural diversity, and…
Influence Maximization(IM) aims to identify highly influential nodes to maximize influence spread in a network. Previous research on the IM problem has mainly concentrated on single-layer networks, disregarding the comprehension of the…
We studied residential clustering and mobility of ethnic minorities using a theoretical framework based on null models of spatial distributions and movements of populations. Using microdata from population registers we compared the patterns…
Food systems are responsible for a third of global anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions central to global warming and climate change. Increasing awareness of the environmental impact of food-centric emissions has led to the carbon…
Invited presentation on issues at the intersection of science and politics in the United States, delivered at the 150 year anniversary of the French Physical Society on the 6th of July 2023 in Paris.
Manga, Japanese comics, has been popular on a global scale. Social networks among characters, which are often called character networks, may be a significant contributor to their popularity. We collected data from 162 popular manga that…
Phase transitions, characterized by abrupt shifts between macroscopic patterns of organization, are ubiquitous in complex systems. Despite considerable research in the physical and natural sciences, the empirical study of this phenomenon in…
One of the pillars of the geometric approach to networks has been the development of model-based mapping tools that embed real networks in its latent geometry. In particular, the tool Mercator embeds networks into the hyperbolic plane.…
An interpretive phenomenological approach is adopted to investigate scientists' attitudes and practices related to hype in science communication. Twenty-four active quantum physicists participated in 5 focus groups. Through a…
The African School Series on Electronic Structure Methods and Applications (ASESMA) has had a positive impact on growth of computational material science in Kenya, visibility of Kenyan universities and strong collaboration ties between…
This article constructs the residual network after some regions were damaged and detached from the original crystal network. This residual crystal network simulates the situation where parts of a computer system or power system failed after…
Individual sports competitions provide a natural setting for examining the relative importance of talent and luck/chance in achieving success. The belief that success is primarily due to individual abilities and hard work rather than…
Hurricane evacuation has become a major problem for the coastal residents of the United States. Devastating hurricanes have threatened the lives and infrastructure of coastal communities and caused billions of dollars in damage. There is a…
Several theoretical methods have been developed to approximate prevalence and threshold of epidemics on networks. Among them, the recurrent dynamic message-passing (rDMP) theory offers a state-of-the-art performance by preventing the echo…
Researchers developed chromosome capture methods such as Hi-C to better understand DNA's 3D folding in nuclei. The Hi-C method captures contact frequencies between DNA segment pairs across the genome. When analyzing Hi-C data sets, it is…
We study vaccine budget-sharing strategies in the SIR (Susceptible-Infected-Recovered) model given a structured community network to investigate the benefit of sharing vaccine across communities. The network studied comprises two…
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic, travel restrictions have emerged as crucial interventions for mitigating the spread of the virus. In this study, we enhance the predictive capabilities of our model, Sequence-to-Sequence Epidemic Attention…
The Louvain method was proposed 15 years ago as a heuristic method for the fast detection of communities in large networks. During this period, it has emerged as one of the most popular methods for community detection, the task of…
Based on data sets provided by Statistics Netherlands and the International Institute of Social History, we investigate the Dutch municipality merging process and the survivability of municipalities over the period 1830-2019. We examine the…
