The current approach to water management in Western societies, including Australia, is based on allocating water between different users. Appropriate for commercial uses, this commodity view of water has proved difficult for the inclusion of environmental and social concerns. Issues, such as which …

The Betweenness Centrality Of Biological Networks
… 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 distribution of …

CONSTRUCTING A NEW MORAL IDENTITY CENTRALITY MEASURE
… was to create a new measure of moral identity centrality (MIC), and to begin testing its psychometric properties. MIC refers to the extent to which moral concerns are central (i.e., important) to a person's self-concept, and it was important to create a new measure of this construct because …

Foreign Language Comprehension: Understanding the Centrality Deficit
… to their L1 recall. It is proposed that this <em>centrality deficit</em> stems from readers having to devote more cognitive resources to L2 word identification and consequently having fewer resources remaining to form connections among the text's ideas that allow centrality to emerge. The …

Developing an eCommerce Pricing Model Using Rank Centrality
… different sellers using the principle of Rank Centrality, and uses neural networks to accurately predict the winning seller on eCommerce websites, such as Amazon, based on factors including pricing, seller rating, and shipping guarantees for each seller. Using this prediction, a pricing …

Identity Congruence: Associations with Ethnic-Racial Centrality and Critical Agency
… whether congruence was associated with ERI centrality, or the extent to which youth view their ethnic-racial background as central to their sense of self (Umaña-Taylor et al., 2014). Finally, this study tested whether ERI centrality mediated the relationship between congruence and critical …

Rumination in the Context of the Centrality of Stressful Events
… on negative and positive outcomes and the centrality of an event as a context under which the nature of rumination might change. Five hundred eighty college students reported their use of brooding, reflecting, deliberate, and intrusive rumination. Outcomes measured were symptoms of …

Event Centrality After Trauma: Stability, Trauma Type, And Posttraumatic Stress Disorder
… whether PTSD symptoms are related to the centrality of the traumatic event (i.e., whether the trauma is central to the individual’s life story and changes the way he or she views the world). The current study examines the following questions: (1) Is event centrality stable over time? (2) …

Centrality dependence of two-particle correlations in relativistic heavy ion collisions
Results on the centrality dependence of two-particle correlations in Au+Au collisions at ... 200GeV are presented. A particular focus is devoted to investigating any anomalous behavior in the centrality dependence of correlation functions, as previous results suggest existence of such tendencies …
