Generative network models for simulating urban networks, the case of inter-city transport network in Southeast Asia

Cybergeo, 2016
This paper examines the driving forces of urban network formation through the simulation of inter-city transport networks in Southeast Asia. We present a generative network model (GNM) considering geographical and topological effects, thus combining ...

My Interests Are (Y)ours? A Multilevel Social Network Analysis of the Co-Evolution of Adolescents’ Interests and Friendships

Education Sciences
Both interests and peer relations are crucial for adolescents in finding out who they are and want to be as a person. Yet, our knowledge of the co-evolution of friendships and interests is limited to studies focusing on single interest domains and/or ...

Simulating infrastructure networks in the Yangtze River Delta (China) using generative urban network models

Belgeo, 2016
This paper explores the urban-geographical potential of simulation approaches combining spatial and topological processes. Drawing on Vértes et al.'s (2012) economical clustering model, we propose a generative network model integrating factors captured ...

Structural Characteristics and Evolutionary Drivers of Global Virtual Water Trade Networks: A Stochastic Actor-Oriented Model for 2000-2015

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2022
The globalization of trade has caused tremendous pressure on water resources globally, and a virtual water trade provides a new perspective on global freshwater sharing and water sustainability. No study has yet explored the structural characteristics and drivers of the evolution of global virtual water trade networks from a network structure evolution

The Dynamics of Adolescents’ Pubertal Maturation, Depressive Symptoms and Friendship Networks: Stochastic Actor-Oriented Model

SSRN Electronic Journal, 2020
Abstract This study aimed to examine whether adolescents select friends based on their friends’ levels of depressive symptoms, and to determine whether the potential homophily phenomenon for depressive symptoms is attenuated after considering pubertal maturation and gender.

Analysis of the Driving Mechanism of China’s Provincial Carbon Emission Spatial Correlation Network: Based on the Dual Perspectives of Dynamic Evolution and Static Formation

Systems
Against the backdrop of China’s commitment to achieving carbon peaking by 2030 and carbon neutrality by 2060, inter-provincial carbon emissions form a complex interconnected spatial network—clarifying its operational mechanisms is crucial for optimizing ...
