CONSTRUCTING A NEW MORAL IDENTITY CENTRALITY MEASURE
… described in this paper 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 …

The impact of centrality on well-being: Development and examination of a modified centrality measure
… identity. Informed by these frameworks, the Centrality of Event Scale (CES; Berntsen & Rubin, 2006) serves as a means to quantify the extent to which a specific event has become central to personal identity. Utilizing the CES, Berntsen and Rubin and colleagues demonstrate the strong link …

Support of latency-sensitive space exploration applications in future space communication systems
… systems induce latency, the concept of network centrality is first introduced. It provides a systematic process for quantifying the relative importance of heterogeneous latency contributors, ranking them, and rapidly identifying bottlenecks when parts of the communication infrastructure are …

Collective behavior over social networks with data-driven and machine learning models
… and political campaigns), by proposing a centrality measure going beyond network structures. Third, I build a geometric deep learning model to infer individual preferences and make personalized recommendations to utilize noisy network information and nodal features effectively. Last, given …

Power Centrality as a relational measure of urban hierarchy : testing the splintering urbanism theory with social media data from Santiago de Chile
Power Centrality, a measure of node importance within a network, is borrowed from the field of Social Network Analysis and applied to the assessment of Urban Hierarchy. Based on the overlaps of human activity between places, Power Centrality is tried as a method for measuring a particular feedback …

Measuring performance in supply chain networks
… the narrow perspective of the focal firm and measure performance not only from a financial perspective. This thesis illustrates how the network position of a focal company in the supply chain network impacts the economic performance of that company. Thereby the supply chain network is in fact …

Methods for analyzing temporal networks
… model we study summarization, event detection, centrality measures, and infection spreading in temporal networks. First, we propose a novel generalization of PageRank centrality measure, which produces realistic centrality estimates with respect to a history of interactions. It captures the …

Understanding Drivers of Deforestation using Games on Spatial Networks
… as a linear combination of weighted Bonacich centrality vectors -- a node-centrality measure that depends on the total number of walks that depart from a node (concession). Our analysis provides new insights on the drivers of illegal logging in forest regions where palm oil cultivation and …

Complex networks in the climate system
… methodology relying on linear and nonlinear measures of time series analysis, the intricate correlation structure within a multivariate climatological data set is cast into network form. Within this graph theoretical framework, vertices are identified with grid points taken from the data set …

Scalable Autonomous Network Control using Minimally Informed Agents
… defining simulation environments, functions to measure baseline criticality, and then investigative analyses into the relationship of baselines with decentralised or distributed approximations of the baselines. This comparison is completed for a validation function that captures distributed …

Large–scale data–driven network analysis of human–plasmodium falciparum interactome: extracting essential targets and processes for malaria drug discovery
… key proteins(key proteins characterized by high centrality measure), C6KTB7 and C6KTD2. The human network comprised of 32 clusters containing 4,133,136 interactions between 20,329 unique reviewed proteins of which 7 clusters contained 760 key proteins and 2 clusters contained 6 significant human …

GENERALIZING CENTRALITY MEASURES: AXIOMS AND PROPERTIES
Determinare l'importanza degli attori di una rete è uno dei problemi più studiati nella social network analysis. Non sorprendentemente, non c'è un unico significato possibile di importanza, e negli anni ne sono state proposte diverse interpretazioni, con lo scopo di catturare diverse nozioni di …
