Hierarchy significantly shapes interactions in social structures by organizing individuals or groups based on status, power, or privilege. This study investigates how hierarchy affects structural balance as temperature variations, which…
On-demand feeder bus services present an innovative solution to urban mobility challenges, yet their success depends on thorough assessment and strategic planning. Despite their potential, a comprehensive framework for evaluating…
Physical risks, such as droughts, floods, rising temperatures, earthquakes, infrastructure failures, and geopolitical conflicts, can ripple through global supply chains, raising costs, and constraining production across industries.…
Criminal activities are predominantly due to males, with females exhibiting a significantly lower involvement, especially in serious offenses. This pattern extends to organized crime, where females are often perceived as less tolerant to…
Public goods game serves as a valuable paradigm for studying the challenges of collective cooperation in human and natural societies. Peer punishment is often considered as an effective incentive for promoting cooperation in such contexts.…
Sequential tropical cyclone hazards--two tropical cyclones (TCs) making landfall in the same region within a short time--are becoming increasingly likely. This study investigates situational preparedness dynamics for six sequential TC…
Understanding nonlinear social contagion dynamics on dynamical networks, such as opinion formation, is crucial for gaining new insights into consensus and polarization. Similar to threshold-dependent complex contagions, the nonlinearity in…
Understanding pattern formation in crossing pedestrian flows is essential for analyzing and managing high-density crowd dynamics in urban environments. This study presents two complementary methodological approaches to detect and…
Message passing techniques on networks encompasses a family of related methods that can be employed to ascertain many important properties of a network. It is widely considered to be the state of the art formulation for networked systems…
This paper examines the intersection of goals and values within grassroots organizations operating in the realm of quantum technologies (QT) education. It delineates a fundamental distinction between the objective to provide education and…
Lifestyle has been used as a lens to characterize a society and its people within, which includes their social status, consumption habits, values, and cultural interests. Recently, the increasing availability of large-scale purchasing…
The European Union (EU) aims to reach carbon neutrality by 2050. This requires capturing CO2, eventually transporting it to different regions, and either converting it into valuable products or sequestering it underground. Although the…
In a graph, the minimum cycle bases are a set of linearly independent cycles that can be used to represent any cycle within that cycle space of graph. These bases are useful in various contexts, including the intricate analysis of…
Through the development of a microscopic deterministic model in the framework of three-phase traffic theory, microscopic features of vehicle overacceleration, which determines the occurrence of the metastability of free traffic flow at a…
Surfacic networks are structures built upon a two-dimensional manifold. Many systems, including transportation networks and various urban networks, fall into this category. The fluctuations of node elevations imply significant deviations…
Efficient management of on-demand delivery systems is essential for modern urban logistics, especially in densely populated cities with complex spatial layouts. This study introduces a novel, computer-supported cooperative framework that…
Understanding and predicting recreational angler effort is important for sustainable fisheries management. However, conventional methods of measuring angler effort, such as surveys, can be costly and limited in both time and spatial extent.…
The initial phase of an epidemic is often characterized by an exponential increase in the number of infected individuals. In this paper, we predict the exponential spreading rate of an epidemic on a complex network. We first find an…
This document presents an Integer Linear Programming (ILP) approach to optimize pedestrian evacuation in flood-prone historic urban areas. The model aims to minimize total evacuation cost by integrating pedestrian speed, route length, and…
While most existing epidemic models focus on the influence of isolated factors, infectious disease transmission is inherently shaped by the complex interplay of multiple interacting elements. To better capture real-world dynamics, it is…
