The complex channel networks of bone structure
Bone structure in mammals involves a complex network of channels (Havers and Volkmann channels) required to nourish the bone marrow cells. This work describes how three-dimensional reconstructions of such systems can be obtained and represented in terms of complex networks. Three important findings are reported: (i) the fact that the channel branching density resembles a power law implies the e...
متن کاملStructure of Mutualistic Complex Networks
We consider the structures of six plant-pollinator mutualistic networks. The plants and pollinators are linked by the plant-pollinating relation. We assigned the visiting frequency of pollinators to a plant as a weight of each link. We calculated the cumulative distribution functions of the degree and strength for the networks. We observed a power-law, linear, and stretched exponential dependen...
متن کاملThe Structure of Complex Networks
THIS dissertation regards the structure of large complex networks. The dissertation is divided into three main parts. Part I contains chapters 1– 3. Part II contains chapters 4–6. Part III consists of the concluding chapter 7 and the bibliography. Part I serves as an introduction. Chapters 1 and 2 directed toward enabling a general reader to understand the concepts and nomenclature used in the ...
متن کاملThe Structure and Function of Complex Networks
Inspired by empirical studies of networked systems such as the Internet, social networks, and biological networks, researchers have in recent years developed a variety of techniques and models to help us understand or predict the behavior of these systems. Here we review developments in this field, including such concepts as the small-world effect, degree distributions, clustering, network corr...
متن کاملBipartite structure of all complex networks
The analysis and modelling of various complex networks has received much attention in the last few years. Some such networks display a natural bipartite structure: two kinds of nodes coexist with links only between nodes of different kinds. This bipartite structure has not been deeply studied until now, mainly because it appeared to be specific to only a few complex networks. However, we show h...
