this research examines the association between co-authorship network centrality (degree, closeness, betweenness, eigenvector, bonacich flow betweenness) and productivity of information science researchers. the research population includes all those researchers who have published at least one record in one of the twenty journals of information science which has an impact factor of 0.635 as a min...

In Australia, Ross River virus (RRV) is predominantly identified and managed through passive health surveillance. Here, the proactive use of environmental datasets to improve community-scale public health interventions in southeastern Tasmania is explored. Known environmental drivers (temperature, rainfall, tide) of the RRV vector Aedes camptorhynchus are analysed against cumulative case record...

The mtDNA sequences revealed that several of the fish studied were Hampala macrolepidota and Barbonymus gonionotus . objective this research was to learn pattern COI gene in establish a phylogenetic tree. Basic Local Alignment Search Tool-nucleotide (BLASTn) confirmed froma Ranau Lake, South Sumatera has 100% matching ranges species from Memberamo River (Indonesia), India, Bangladesh, Thailand ...

Although we often seek social feedback (SFB) from others to help us make decisions, little is known about how SFB affects decisions under risk, particularly from a close peer. We conducted two experiments using an established framing task to probe how decision-making is modulated by SFB valence (positive, negative) and the level of closeness with feedback provider (friend, confederate). Partici...

Any interactive communication system can support personal relationships by facilitating a welcome and timely presence of an absent person in the mind of the other. This paper presents a consideration of how short term feelings, as experienced during acts of communication, relate to a relationship’s longer term feelings towards one another. Through a 21-day study with 63 participants, we report ...

This study examines sexual communication by describing the content of sexual disclosures within marital relationships and assessing the association between sexual disclosures and relational outcomes, specifically relational satisfaction and closeness. A survey administered to 293 married individuals (58% female) who had an average age of 40 years (range = 20-73), 13.7 years of marriage (range =...

Having a distant relationship with parents seems to increase the risk of developing a more negative global self-esteem. This article describes a longitudinal study of 1,090 Norwegian adolescents from the age of 13-23 (54 % males) that explored whether peer acceptance can act as a moderator and protect global self-esteem against the negative effects of experiencing low closeness in relationships...

Eigenvectors, and the related centrality measure Bonacich’s c(β), have advantages over graph-theoretic measures like degree, betweenness, and closeness centrality: they can be used in signed and valued graphs and the beta parameter in c(β) permits the calculation of power measures for a wider variety of types of exchange. Degree, betweenness, and closeness centralities are defined only for clas...
