This paper focuses on the seemingly routine but essential aspects of network formation by actors in an E-government context. A qualitative case study is used to explore portal development in public healthcare. The theoretical framework applied is Actor-Network Theory (ANT). The research question is: What factors contribute to the enrolment of strategic local actors in technology development in ...

A substantial number of studies have extended the work on universal properties in physical systems to complex networks in social, biological, and technological systems. In this paper, we present a complex networks perspective on interfirm organizational networks by mapping, analyzing and modeling the spatial structure of a large interfirm competition network across a variety of sectors and indu...

In the emerging field of network science, a recent model proposes that a hyperbolic geometry underlies the network representation of complex systems, shaping their topology and being responsible for their signature features: scale invariance and strong clustering. Under this model of network formation, points representing system components are placed in a hyperbolic circle and connected if the ...

2-(methylamino) pyridine (hmap) reacts with meli in thf and generates the lithium salt (limap). further reaction of [cu(tmeds)2][cucl2] (tmeda=tetramethylethylenediamine) with one equivalent of this ligand in thf leads to the formation of a yellow dimeric cu(i) complex, [cu(map)]2. analytical data, molecular weight, and magnetic susceptibility measurements, confirm the formula [cu(map)]2 .

Charge Transfer (CT) complexes formed between dibenzo-24-crown-8 (DB24C8) as an electron donor with the σ-electron acceptor iodine (I2) in chloroform, dichloromethane, and 1,2-dichloroethane solutions have been studied by different spectroscopic techniques at room temperature. The spectral studies of the complexes were det...

How an information spreads throughout a social network is a valuable knowledge sought by many groups such as marketing enterprises and political parties. If they can somehow predict the impact of a given message or manipulate it in order to amplify how long it will spread, it would give them a huge advantage over their competitors. Intuitively, it is expected that two factors contribute to make...
