The scientists created an algorithm that helps explain the sociological findings that led to the theory of "six degrees of separation," and could have broad implications for how networks are navigated, from improving emergency response systems to preventing the spread of computer viruses. Dubbed expec...
It's a small world after all - and now science has explained why. A study conducted by the University of Leicester and KU Leuven, Belgium, examined how small worlds emerge spontaneously in all kinds of networks, including neuronal and social networks, giving rise to the well-known phenomenon ...
Thanks to the Internet, our world is really, really small–and Yahoo is going to try and prove it. Teaming up with Facebook, Yahoo Research is heading up something called the “Small World Experiment,” which will use the social networking site to test the six degrees of separation theory....
The probable mech- anism of high catalytic activity may be explained as follows: 4-nitrophenol can be adsorbed onto Pd@Y-DDQ via supramolecular interactions between 4-nitrophenol and the framework of Y-DDQ. Because of the OMSs in the structure, coordination effects between the hydroxyl group of...
At this muster, which I attended, the superior officers in command certainly appeared to be sufficiently conversant with tactics, and explained the rationale of each movement in a clear and concise manner; but the captains and subalterns went through their exercise somewhat in the manner of the ...
The integer k is the number of ‘down spins’. The symbol denotes a so-called cylindric loop, an infinite periodic continuation of the outline of the Young diagram of viewed as a lattice path in and shifted d times in the direction . All these notions will be further explained in the ...
• Size of boreal species was lower in cold water in north and east. • Temperature explained about 40% of temporal variation in length of 0-group fish. • Temporal trends for capelin and polar cod differed between geographical areas. Abstract Young-of-the-year (0-group) fish in the...
Speaking of the company's current difficulties, Wang believes that capital is a big problem. He explained that the pressure is very serious now. The raw materials of the company's products are very expensive. They are imported from abroad, such as Lan Jing. That is to say, on the first...
suzukiana (arguably conspecific; see below), more likely showed recent rather than ancient gene flow within Clade N2 (though the scarcity of APS in the nrITS region could alternatively be explained by concerted evolution [93]). Further evidence will be needed to demonstrate to what extent ILS ...
The idea of 'Six Degrees Of Separation' goes back to the early part of the last century, with a Hungarian author by the name ofFrigyes Karinthywriting a short story that still resonates today. It put forward a theory that the world was figuratively shrinking, and that any two individuals ...
