ON A GENERALIZATION OF THE FRIENDSHIP THEOREM [PDF]

, 2012
The Friendship Theorem states that if any two people, of a group of at least three people, have exactly one friend in common, then there is always a person who is everybody’s friend. In this paper, we generalize the Friendship Theorem to the case that in

Using Social Network Methods to Test for Assortment of Prosociality among Korean High School Students.

PLoS ONE, 2015
Assortative interaction among altruistic individuals is a necessary condition for the evolution of cooperation. The requirement for assortment holds regardless of whether a meta-population is subdivided into distinct and isolated subgroups or has ...

Giving syphilis and gonorrhea to friends: using in-person friendship networks to find additional cases of gonorrhea and syphilis

BMC Public Health, 2020
Background Syphilis and gonorrhea reached an all-time high in 2018. The resurgence of syphilis and gonorrhea requires innovative methods of sexual contact tracing that encourage disclosure of same-sex sexual contacts that might otherwise be suppressed ...

Bio‐Inspired Synthesis of Macroporous Single Crystal Particles as Scattering Agents

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A general strategy is presented that delivers unique, single‐crystal microparticles that combine submicron macroporosity and uniform particle shapes. A bioinspired approach is used to occlude three distinct types of additives – polystyrene microspheres, polymer vesicles and amino acids – within calcite single crystals, and subsequent thermal annealing ...

There are 2^ℵ_α Friendship Graphs of Cardinal ℵ_α [PDF]

, 1976
A friendship graph is a graph in which every two distinct vertices have exactly one common neighbour. Finite friendship graphs were characterized by Erdös, Rényi, and Sós [1] as those for which the vertices can be enumerated as u, υ1,…υk, w1,…wk in such ...

A Bioinspired Sensory‐CAPode With Dual Functionality: Logic Gate and Real‐Time Biosensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
An electrochemical capacitor diode (CAPode) redefines the frontier of iontronics by seamlessly unifying logic computing and biosensing within a single biocompatible platform. Inspired by nature's own ion‐channel circuitry, this elegant ionic system transforms complex chemical signals into precise electrical responses, paving the way for next‐generation

3D‐Printable, Biodegradable, and Conductive/Piezoionic Hydrogel ‘E‐Skin’ With Robust Antibacterial Properties for Wound Healing and Wireless Human‐Machine Interface Sensing

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
A multifunctional MXene‐integrated GelMA/alginate hydrogel reinforced with TEMPO‐modified nanocellulose is engineered via dynamic covalent, ionic, and hydrogen bonding. The resulting piezoelectric, adhesive, antimicrobial, and 3D‐printable patch enables motion sensing and accelerates wound healing by promoting keratinocyte migration and collagen ...

Inclusive random sampling in graphs and networks

Applied Network Science, 2023
It is often of interest to sample vertices from a graph with a bias towards higher-degree vertices. One well-known method, which we call random neighbor or RN, involves taking a vertex at random and exchanging it for one of its neighbors.

Biomimetic Vascular Scaffold with Seamless Electrospun Aligned Nanofiber Conduit and 3D‐Printed Coil Reinforcement

Advanced Healthcare Materials, EarlyView.
We introduce a new fabrication method that overcomes the current limitation of tubular gap electrospinning. We successfully fabricated a seamless hollow tube with fibers aligned along the longitudinal axis in diameters as small as 300 µm, and then reinforced it using 4‐axis 3D printing.
