Network Structure and Conflict
International Relations scholars argue the structure of the international system is important in ordering relations between states. Both Neorealist and Neoliberal scholars highlight the importance of the system regarding interstate conflict, though they argue for two different constructions of the …

Learning network structure from node behavior
Understanding the network structure connecting a group of entities is of interest in applications such as predicting stock prices and making recommendations to customers. The network structure is usually not directly observable. However, due to improvements in technology and the ever-increasing use …

Characterisation of network structure in recycled rubber
… was evident between these parameters and the network characterisation parameter (Vr) obtained from the swelling measurements that are known to be a reliable guide but are more time consuming to perform. In this work, the Mooney relaxation test was successfully extended to characterise some …

How network structure impacts socially reinforced diffusion?
… number of prior adopters. What is the effect of network structure on such adoption dynamics? The emerging consensus holds that when agents require a high reinforcement threshold for adoption, clustered networks are better conduits of social contagion than random ones. Using models with …

Optimizing and Understanding Network Structure for Diffusion
Given a population contact network and electronic medical records of patients, how to distribute vaccines to individuals to effectively control a flu epidemic? Similarly, given the Twitter following network and tweets, how to choose the best communities/groups to stop rumors from spreading? How to …

Gang task forces: formation, network structure, and effectiveness
… the national study of gang task force formation, structure and effectiveness, a case study of one particular gang task force, the Metro Gang Strike Force in Minnesota (MGSF) is presented. After describing the organizational structure and network of relationships that exist in gang task forces …

Problem dependent metaheuristic performance in Bayesian network structure learning.
Bayesian network (BN) structure learning from data has been an active research area in the machine learning field in recent decades. Much of the research has considered BN structure learning as an optimization problem. However, the finding of optimal BN from data is NP-hard. This fact has driven …

Influence of network structure on disease spread and persistence
… the spread of disease between individuals, and networks offer a convenient representation of contact patterns. This thesis explores the effects of network structure on transmission dynamics using two diseases as case studies: African swine fever (ASF), a fast-spreading viral disease found in …

Network structure and stability criteria for complex ecological systems
… these systems is also strongly influenced by the structure of the interaction networks. In the case of mutualistic networks, the nested structure often found in nature, has been shown to make the system less locally stable. Here, we consider two different ecological models. The first is a model of …

Effect of network structure on lignin-derived polyurethane film properties
… lignin derivatives with diisocyanates. The network structure, characterized by the crosslink density, was controlled by two variables: the hydroxy content of the lignin polyol and the molar ratio of NCO:OH. In addition, the effect of network structure on thermal and viscoelastic properties …

Kin and social network structure in two populations of Octodon degus
… groups in two populations as well as social network parameters (association, strength, and clustering coefficient) in order to determine if these aspects of sociality were driven by kinship. I analyzed social network parameters relative to ecological conditions at burrow systems used by …

Fast superresolution based on a network structure trained using sparse coding
… a novel approach to superresolution using a network structure. Sparse representation of image signals forms the cornerstone of our approach and the goal is to obtain resolution enhancement of the low resolution images. I will discuss various dictionary learning methods and also a joint …

Knowledge construction, social identity and social network structure in completely online groups
… through detailed analysis of social-network structure, patterns of group-knowledge construction and trajectories of group-identity formation.

Inferring Transcriptional and Post-Transcriptional Network Structure by Exploiting Natural Sequence Variation
… variation at the level of gene regulatory networks rather than individual genes. This thesis consists of four parts, each of which outlines a different strategy for integrating genome-wide expression data and genotype data in order to identify transcriptional and post-transcriptional …

Controlling and Organizing the Network Structure of Korean Business Groups, 1997-2003
… organizing and controlling mechanisms within the network structure of Korean business groups, chaebols, for the family-based corporate ownership and control under environmental uncertainty. Research focuses on the groups' changing patterns of inter-firm network structures, the maneuvering strategy …

Assessing guerrilla doctrine: battlefield lessons on network structure and multi-front insurgency
… (1) operational environment, (2) organizational structure, (3) logistical capacity, and (4) dependent tactics - items of consistent, yet incomplete analysis in counter-insurgency (COIN) analytics and civil war scholarship. Following a review of five of the most infamously disseminated guerrilla …
