Network structure influence on simulated network interventions for behaviour change

A Simulated Annealing Algorithm for Unsplittable Capacitated Network Design

The Network Design Problem (NDP) is one of the important problems in combinatorial optimization. Among the network design problems, the Multicommodity Capacitated Network Design (MCND) problem has numerous applications in transportation, logistics, telecommunication, and production systems. The MCND problems with splittable flow variables are NP-hard, which means they require exponential time t...

Network structure and influence of the climate change counter-movement

Anthropogenic climate change represents a global threat to human well-being1–3 and ecosystem functioning4. Yet despite its importance for science and policy, our understanding of the causes of widespread uncertainty and doubt found among the general public remains limited. The political and social processes driving such doubt and uncertainty are di cult to rigorously analyse, and research has t...

Traffic Behaviour of VoIP in a Simulated Access Network

Insufficient Quality of Service (QoS) of Voice over Internet Protocol (VoIP) is a growing concern that has lead the need for research and study. In this paper we investigate the performance of VoIP and the impact of resource limitations on the performance of Access Networks. The impact of VoIP performance in Access Networks is particularly important in regions where Internet resources are limit...

Scholarly Communication in Developmental Dyslexia: Influence of Network Structure on Change in a Hybrid Problem Area

Based on Mulkay’s and Kuhn’s models of change in sci­ entific structure, a scientific communication model of the emergence of a hybrid research area was developed and tested in the field of developmental dyslexia. Data included co-citation data on 74 dyslexia researchers at three points in time, who-to-whom communication net­ work data, survey responses, resumes, association and biographical so...
