Social network analysis provides insights into a wide range of social computing applications. The fundamental element of social network is the relations between people. By analyzing the relations between people in a network, we can reveal interesting structures and useful insights about the network. Relations between people in real world networks often exhibit two prominent features: (1) it is ...

An alternative method for deriving water wave dispersion relations and evolution equations is to use a weak formulation. The free-surface displacement η is written as an eigenfunction expansion,

Global Governance has become a buzzword in the social sciences in general and in International Relations (IR) in particular. Many different phenomena, from the influence of civil society on international decision-making processes to the role of intergovernmental organisations and transnational corporations in world politics, are invoked as examples of global governance. However, upon closer ins...

Offsetting complexity of societal dialogue, netizen has dripped down mollifying social contract – which is also redefining new context in international relations (IR) indeed. With emergence of the Internet, especially web 2.0, convenient media structure has been reshaping to meet expectation of public and new dynamics of social relations are also gaining new vibes which sometimes turns into con...

We describe our present understanding of the relations between the behaviour of asymptotically flat Cauchy data for Einstein’s vacuum field equations near space-like infinity and the asymptotic behaviour of their evolution in time at null infinity.

This article explores deterrence, a time-honoured concept in International Relations (ir), through the application of systemism, a concept borrowed from the philosophy of science. The purpose of this study is to provide a diagrammatic exposition that establishes the “value added” from systemism vis-à-vis the research on deterrence. A series of exchanges involving us-led efforts to deter Saddam ...

We investigate the evolution of early-type galaxies in four clusters at z = 0.4 (Abell 370, Cl 0303+17, Cl 0939+47 and Cl 1447+26) and in one at z = 0.55 (Cl 0016+16). The galaxies are selected according to their spectrophotometrically determined spectral types and comprise the morphological classes E, S0 and Sa galaxies. Structural parameters are determined by a two-component fitting of the su...
