It is believed that almost any pair of people in the world can be connected to one another by a short chain of intermediate acquaintances, of typical length about six. This phenomenon, colloquially referred to as the “six degrees of separation”, has been the subject of considerable interest within the physics community in recent years.

the study of decentralization in fiji shows that increasing capacities is not necessarily related to increasing decision space of local officials, which is in contrast with earlier studies in pakistan. future studies should address the relationship among decision space, capacities, and health system performance.

We examine how vertical separation affects the lobbying activities for the access charge of essential facilities. First, when investigating a model where the number of new entrants is fixed, we find that vertical separation either increases or decreases the access charge, and that this depends on the relative efficiency between the incumbent and the new entrants, and the number of entrants. Sec...

It is believed that almost any pair of people in the world can be connected to one another by a short chain of intermediate acquaintances, of typical length about six. This phenomenon, colloquially referred to as the " six degrees of separation, " has been the subject of considerable recent interest within the physics community. This paper provides a short review of the topic.

This paper exposes the experimental evaluation of a new technique for the estimation of the instantaneous helical axis of movement of human anatomical joints. The measurement technique, using a six degrees of freedom spatial electro-goniometer, is tested onto a simple revolute joint and onto a subject’s knee. A motion capture system with active optical markers is used at the same time in order ...
