For many networks of scientific interest we know both the connections of the network and information about the network nodes, such as the age or gender of individuals in a social network.

The search for these biomarkers has been aided by the development of a standardised protocol for inducing psychosocial stress that combines social-evaluative threat and ...

Tissue engineering (TE) combines scaffolds, cells, and chemical physical cues to replace biological tissues [...]

There are some indicators of gender gaps or inequalities in distribution of resources located in both microenvironment (households) and macroenvironment. Human capital formation and development also demonstrate gender inequalities in process. Po...
