Betweenness Centrality of Fractal and Non-Fractal Scale-Free Model Networks and Tests on Real Networks [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
We study the betweenness centrality of fractal and non-fractal scale-free network models as well as real networks. We show that the correlation between degree and betweenness centrality $C$ of nodes is much weaker in fractal network models compared to ...

Revolving fractals [PDF]

open access: yesJournal of Fractal Geometry, Mathematics of Fractals and Related Topics, 2021
Davis and Knuth in 1970 introduced the notion of revolving sequences, as representations of a Gaussian integer. Later, Mizutani and Ito pointed out a close relationship between a set of points determined by all revolving sequences and a self-similar set, which is called the Dragon.

Individually optimal choices can be collectively disastrous in COVID-19 disease control

open access: yesBMC Public Health, 2021
Background The word ‘pandemic’ conjures dystopian images of bodies stacked in the streets and societies on the brink of collapse. Despite this frightening picture, denialism and noncompliance with public health measures are common in the historical ...

Fractal Analysis on Pore Structure and Hydration of Magnesium Oxysulfate Cements by First Principle, Thermodynamic and Microstructure-Based Methods

open access: yesFractal and Fractional, 2021
Magnesium oxysulfate (MOS) cement is a typical eco-friendly cementitious material, which presents excellent performances. In this work, a novel multiscale modeling strategy is proposed to simulate the hydration and pore structure of MOS cement system ...

Vaccines Alone Cannot Slow the Evolution of SARS-CoV-2

open access: yesVaccines, 2023
The rapid emergence of immune-evading viral variants of SARS-CoV-2 calls into question the practicality of a vaccine-only public-health strategy for managing the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. It has been suggested that widespread vaccination is necessary to

The Potential of Biophilic Fractal Designs to Promote Health and Performance: A Review of Experiments and Applications

open access: yesSustainability, 2021
Fractal objects are prevalent in natural scenery. Their repetition of patterns at increasingly fine magnifications creates a rich complexity. Fractals displaying mid-range complexity are the most common and include trees, clouds, and mountains.

Photonic Floquet topological insulators in a fractal lattice [PDF]

open access: yesLight: Science & Applications, 2020
We present Floquet fractal topological insulators: photonic topological insulators in a fractal-dimensional lattice consisting of helical waveguides. The helical modulation induces an artificial gauge field and leads to a trivial-to-topological phase ...

Evaluating social learning in participatory mapping of ecosystem services

open access: yesEcosystems and People, 2019
Recent studies have shown the opportunities and limitations of participatory mapping for ecosystem services management, although it is an incipient research area. One of the research questions yet to be addressed is whether the composition of stakeholder
