In this paper, we present and compare various centrality measures for graphbased keyphrase extraction. Through experiments carried out on three standard datasets of different languages and domains, we show that simple degree centrality achieve results comparable to the widely used TextRank algorithm, and that closeness centrality obtains the best results on short documents.

In the US House and Senate, each piece of legislation is sponsored by a unique legislator. In addition, legislators can publicly express support for a piece of legislation by cosponsoring it. The network of sponsors and cosponsors provides information about the underlying social networks among legislators. I use a number of statistics to describe the cosponsorship network in order to show that ...

We investigate the correlation between the information theoretic measure of empowerment and the graph theoretic measure of closeness centrality, to better understand the structural conditions that must exist in a world for learning and adaptation. We examine both measures in both a simple gridworld scenario, represented as a graph, and on a scale-free graph. We show a strong correlation between...

Two chitosan samples (medium molecular weight (MMCHI) and low molecular weight (LMCHI)) were investigated as an enzyme immobilization matrix for the fabrication of a glucose biosensor. Chitosan membranes prepared from acetic acid were flexible, transparent, smooth and quick-drying. The FTIR spectra showed the existence of intermolecular interactions between chitosan and glucose oxidase (GOD). H...

This article analyzes the socio-cultural impact of failure by Muslims in Kenya to review British colonial statutes that disrupted traditional awqãf (religious endowments) practices postcolonial period. Awqãf are autonomous enterprise meant for spiritual expression taqwa (piety), seeking qurba (closeness) with God, and ensure socio-economic security endower’s progeny social welfare community. Up...

By reaching perfection and closeness to God the source of light existence, man can benefit from his endless mercy. Almighty is absolute perfection, nearness main goal creation. Considering that those who are not do have anything their own, whatever God’s servants originally belongs him, closer people get God, more they will Therefore, in work environment, this appears form spiritual intelligenc...

Despite the cultural ubiquity of ideas and images related to God, relatively little is known about the effects of exposure to God representations on behavior. Specific depictions of God differ across religions, but common to most is that God is (a) an omnipotent, controlling force and (b) an omniscient, all-knowing being. Given these 2 characteristic features, how might exposure to the concept ...

1. God exists in the understanding. 2. God might have existed in reality (God is a possible being). 3. If something exists only in the understanding and might have existed in reality, then it might have been greater than it is. 4. Suppose God exists only in the understanding. 5. God might have been greater than he is. 6. God is a being than which a greater is possible. 7. The being than which n...
