The Betweenness Centrality Of Biological Networks
… In this thesis, we examine the vertex and edge betweenness centrality measures of these graphs. These measures capture how "central" a vertex or an edge is in the graph by considering the fraction of shortest paths that pass through that vertex or edge. Our primary observation is that the …

The In-Betweenness: Work Space of the Future
Individuals spend so many hours every day in their work spaces of different kinds. Different people have different needs in term of the quality of the space in which they are working. As a result it's important to provide a variety of spaces for people to be able to choose from and spend their work …

Exploring betweenness: an autoethnographic journey into the experience of twinship and its therapeutic implications
With the pronounced increase in twin births since the 1980s, a corresponding need has arisen to better understand the intricacies of twinship and the aspects that may help and hinder twins throughout their lives. This is especially important for counselling psychologists and psychotherapists, yet …

Theatre and Public Spaces in Singapore In-betweenness as Power in a Soft Authoritarian State
The theatre is a contested realm in soft authoritarian Singapore. Applying the method of transculturality, this study follows Bourdieu’s theory of the ‘field of power’ and analyses the complex relationship between the ‘dominant dominators’ – the government – and the ‘dominated dominators’ – the …

Cultural Identity and the dilemma of "in-betweenness" in selected Arab-American and Jewish-American novels.
The In-Between status is a position that a diasporic/migrant subject occupies while s/he is attached to two worlds. One of them is the home of origin and the other is the host home. This attachment is of two types. The first type is that which involves a severe confusion concerning both places and …

GPU-Optimized Graph Theory Analysis of Allosteric Protein Signaling Networks
… parallel algorithm for measuring the betweenness centrality of edges of a graph that is over 1000x faster than the CPU implementation of the algorithm in the NetworkX software package for 1,000-5,000 nodes. Inspired by biochemical mutagenesis experiments, we also introduce a new …

The regulation of internet interconnection : assessing network market power
… two metrics, referred to as customer cone and betweenness, as proxies for market size and market power. This thesis focuses on the efficacy of the proposed customer cone and betweenness metrics as proxies for network market size and market power.

Between the (in)formal and the (il)legal : the 'permanent temporariness' of waiting for a house
… informal, housing applicants live in a state of 'betweenness' (Perramond, 2001) materially, socially, emotionally and politically. This 'betweenness', the core of the relationship between citizens and the state, produces a particular encounter with the state in relation to housing. This 'gray' …

Unraveling the Reconfiguration Dynamics of Silver Nanowire Networks under Electrothermal Stress
… network failure. First, we borrow the notion of betweenness centrality from graph theory and test its applicability to simulated nanowire network systems. We also test several other centrality measures, some introduced here and designed specifically to describe nanowire networks. We find that …

Complex networks in the climate system
… focussing on the flow and centrality measure betweenness which is locally defined at each vertex, but includes global topological information by relying on the distribution of shortest paths between all pairs of vertices in the network. The betweenness centrality field reveals a rich internal …

Sustaining Glasgow's Urban Networks: the Link Communities of Complex Urban Systems
… through optimizing the number of nodes with high betweenness centrality, while the efficiency of the logical network’s topology is achieved by optimizing the number of links with high edge betweenness. The conclusion from the literature review presented through the discourse on to the primal …

In-between Colonial Heritage: Postcolonial Heritage Perception by Local Society in South Korea
… heritage in South Korea, reflecting the in-betweenness of a heritage interpretation. While colonial heritage is often defined by dichotomous views of anti- and pro-colonialism, it also expresses the plural experiences of local residents. An entity occupies a space located in-between being …
