Social Sequence Analysis: Methods and Applications

Social Network Analysis: Selected Methods and Applications

A social network (SN) is a network containing nodes – social entities (people or groups of people) and links between these nodes. Social networks are examples of more general concept of complex networks and SNs are usually free-scale and have power distribution of node degree. Overall, several types of social networks can be enumerated: (i) simple SNs, (ii) multi-layered SNs (with many links be...

Data Analysis Methods in Social Networks

Background and Aim. The promising outlook of easy communication incurring minimum cost has caused social networks to face increasing number of active members each day. These members develop and expand international communication through information sharing including personal information. Thus, big data analysis of social networks provides companies, organizations and governments with ample and ...

Sequential Methods and Their Applications

Genetically modified mice- Methods, applications and outlook

Background & Aim: Transgenic mice, of tengenerated by random integration of foreign genes into the mouse genome or by targeted mutation in a particular gene, have demonstrated to be a very effective tool for studying gene function in living things. In this review article, we discussed on the current methods of generating genetically-modified mice and their related problems and then investigated...

Microdosimetry: experimental methods and medical applications

Introduction: Microdosimetry is a fundamental method that studies the nature of energy transfer in micron volumes in the particular biological cells. In a biological target, the amount of ionization does not indicate the magnitude of biological radiation-induced damage. However, the severity of biological harm depends strongly on the amount of the linear energy transfer along t...
