Homophily and competition: a model of group affiliation [PDF]
, 2009 How can we understand the interaction between the social network topology of a population and the patterns of group affiliation in that population?

Comparing Extremism Propagation Patterns in Continuous Opinion Models [PDF]
We compare patterns of extremism propagation yielded by 4 continuous opinion models, when the main parameters vary, on different types of networks (total connection, random network, lattice).

Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT European agriculture is increasingly exposed to economic instability driven by extreme weather events, market volatility, and geopolitical tensions. To manage these growing risks, farmers are encouraged to adopt innovative risk management strategies such as the Income Stabilization Tool (IST), which offers protection against severe income ...

Protection Motivation Theory and Farmers' Participation in Futures Markets: Evidence From Germany
Agribusiness, EarlyView.ABSTRACT This study examines why German farmers show limited adoption of commodity futures contracts despite substantial price volatility, applying Protection Motivation Theory (PMT) to understand the cognitive processes driving participation decisions in futures markets. Survey data from 303 German farmers collected in 2024 were analyzed using Partial

Bounded confidence opinion dynamics with Asch-like social conformity in complex networks [PDF]
Computational models of peer interaction, with or without networks, have been applied to opinion dynamics to describe social phenomena. Here, we use the Deffuant–Weisbuch (DW) model of opinion dynamics, where a confidence parameter bounds individuals ...

Opinion dynamics in social networks [PDF]
, 2020 We study the problem of opinion dynamics in social networks from a mathematical modelling perspective. As a classic model, the voter model has been extensively studied, especially the bound of its expected time to converge to consensus. However, its twin

LOMDP: Maximizing Desired Opinions in Social Networks by Considering User Expression Intentions
EntropyTo address the problem of maximizing desired opinions in social networks, we present the Limited Opinion Maximization with Dynamic Propagation Optimization framework, which is grounded in information entropy theory. Innovatively, we introduce the concept

AIChE Journal, EarlyView.Abstract Electrification of distillation offers a promising route to reducing scope‐1 emissions from one of the chemical industry's most energy‐intensive unit operations. However, conventional adiabatic columns are dynamically inflexible: Long, energy‐intensive start‐ups make shutdown and restart impractical under variable electricity prices and ...
