A Virtual Training Tool for Giving Talks

In this paper we present two studies concerning the application of a virtual environment for public speaking anxiety. We have created a program simulating a virtual lecture room, which can be filled with a large number of listeners behaving in different ways. The purpose of the scene is to train people who are anxious to give talks in front of a large audience. We present the results of two stu...

Model for simulating mechanisms responsible of similarities between people connected in networks of social relations

The literature’s analysis has identified three social mechanisms explaining the similarity between people connected in the network of social relations: homophily, confounding and social contagion. The article proposes a model for simulating mechanisms responsible for similarity of attitudes in networks of social relations; along with a measure that is able to indicate which of the three mechani...

Lecture Notes for Introduction to Biological Modeling Class 4: Gene regulatory networks

Genetic regulation Central dogma of molecular biology: DNA makes RNA makes protein. Gene regulatory data are primarily from ChIP-chip and ChIP-seq. BioTapestry is an interactive tool for building, visualizing, and simulating genetic regulatory networks. Hamid Bolouri, a Hutch member, is an author. Transcription factors bound to DNA perform transcription regulation Small RNAs: miRNA (micro RNA) ...

Lecture Notes: Social Networks: Models, Algorithms, and Applications

For a positive integer n and an even integer k, let C(n, k) denote the graph with vertex set Figure 1: C(8, 4), newly rewired edges are excluded from future rewire. The Watts-Strogatz graph[2], denoted W S(n, k, p) is obtained from C(n, k) by replacing each edge in C(n, k) with probability p by a randomly chosen edge.
