Diffusion in complex social networks
This paper studies the problem of spreading a product (an idea, cultural fad or technology) among agents in a social network. An agent obtains the product with a probability that depends on the spreading rate of the product as well as on the behavior of the agent’s neighbors. This paper shows, using a mean field approach, that there exists a threshold for the spreading rate that determines whet...
متن کاملDiffusion of Macromolecules across the Nuclear Pore Complex
Nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) are very selective filters that monitor the transport between the cytoplasm and the nucleoplasm. Two models have been suggested for the plug of the NPC. They are (i) it is a reversible hydrogel or (ii) it is a polymer brush. We propose a mesoscopic model for the transport of a protein through the plug, that is general enough to cover both. The protein stretches the...
متن کاملSimple rules for passive diffusion through the nuclear pore complex
Passive macromolecular diffusion through nuclear pore complexes (NPCs) is thought to decrease dramatically beyond a 30-60-kD size threshold. Using thousands of independent time-resolved fluorescence microscopy measurements in vivo, we show that the NPC lacks such a firm size threshold; instead, it forms a soft barrier to passive diffusion that intensifies gradually with increasing molecular mas...
متن کاملStress Diffusion through Complex Networks
Research has proven that stress reduces quality of life and causes many diseases. It is not clear how stress spreads among the population and how its diffusion in a society can be estimated. From a complex system perspective, this paper defines the rules of stress transmission, including input and output factors. Stress transmission flow is defined to describe an entropy-derived measure of stre...
متن کاملDiffusion-annihilation processes in complex networks.
We present a detailed analytical study of the A+A --> 0 diffusion-annihilation process in complex networks. By means of microscopic arguments, we derive a set of rate equations for the density of A particles in vertices of a given degree, valid for any generic degree distribution, and which we solve for uncorrelated networks. For homogeneous networks (with bounded fluctuations), we recover the ...
