How can we use social network analysis to better understand Chimpanzee and Gorilla sociality and communication? by Anna Ilona Roberts, Sam George Bradley Roberts

“…This program of research will therefore lead to a new, systematic way of comparing social complexity across species, something that is lacking in current comparative studies of social structure. Considering that hominins were likely characterized by a fission-fusion social structure, comparing the social complexity of such systems with that of more stable groups may yield valuable insights into the evolution of human sociality.…”

Community Vitality in Dynamic Temporal Networks by Fu Cai, Li Min, Zou Deqing, Qu Shuyan, Han Lansheng, James J. Park

“…Moreover, CV cannot only be used to quantify the life intensity of a community but also be used to describe the process of community evolution over time. More specifically, the change of community's structure will be found if CVs for different time slices of a community were compared, while the community with big value of CV can be selected if CVs for different communities were compared. …”

Geography is a stronger predictor of diversification of monogenean parasites (Platyhelminthes) than host relatedness in characin fishes of Middle America. by Fernando Alda, Edgar F Mendoza-Franco, William Hanson-Regan, Ruth G Reina, Eldredge Bermingham, MarkE Torchin

“…We hypothesize that parasite diversity and community structure are more strongly correlated with host species (suggesting cospeciation) than with geographic location (indicative of allopatric speciation). …”

Spatial network characteristics and influencing factors of residential land prices under the background of coordinated development: A case study of the Wuhan metropolitan area in C... by Wenqi Li, Fengjuan Wei

“…Similar aggregation types exhibit a distinct cluster distribution in space. (2) The network structure of residential land prices in the Wuhan metropolitan area increases yearly, but the evolution speed is slow. (3) Compared to OLS and GWR, the MGWR model more accurately measures the impact and spatial variability of variables on residential land prices. …”

Reliability Analysis in Presence of Random Variables and Fuzzy Variables by Cui Lijie, Lü Zhenzhou, Li Guijie

“…For mixed uncertainties of random variables and fuzzy variables in engineering, three indices, that is, interval reliability index, mean reliability index, and numerical reliability index, are proposed to measure safety of structure. Comparing to the reliability membership function for measuring the safety in case of mixed uncertainties, the proposed indices are more intuitive and easier to represent the safety degree of the engineering structure, and they are more suitable for the reliability design in the case of the mixed uncertainties. …”

Contact prediction is hardest for the most informative contacts, but improves with the incorporation of contact potentials. by Jack Holland, Qinxin Pan, Gevorg Grigoryan

“…Thus, the remaining limitations of contact prediction algorithms are most noticeable in conjunction with geometrically restrictive contacts-precisely those that contribute more information in structure prediction. We suggest that to improve prediction rates for such "informative" contacts one could combine co-evolution scores with additional indicators of contact likelihood. …”
