First reported in Wuhan, the novel coronavirus disease (COVID-19), caused by severe acute respiratory syndrome 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has astonished health-care systems across the globe due to its rapid and simultaneous spread to the neighbouring and distantly…
A direct way to spot structural features that are universally shared among proteins is to find analogues from simpler condensed matter systems. In the current study, the feasibility of creating ensembles of artificial structures that can automatically …
The work reported in this article introduces the novel concept of phase portrait-based recurrence network (RN) analysis in the digital auscultation of expiratory wheeze (ES) and vesicular (VS), with its potential revealed through machine learning techn…
The outbreak of the Covid-19 pandemic led several governments to impose restrictions on the export of medical supplies. Despite being at odds with the canonical prescriptions of the economic theory, non-cooperative measures of this kind remain popular …
In the study of infectious diseases on networks, researchers calculate epidemic thresholds to help forecast whether or not a disease will eventually infect a large fraction of a population. Because network structure typically changes with time, which f…
The clustering coefficient has been introduced to capture the social phenomena that a friend of a friend tends to be my friend. This metric has been widely studied and has shown to be of great interest to describe the characteristics of a social graph….
Fixation time of evolutionary processes on graph-structured populations is highly affected by the underlying graph structure. In this article, we study the spreading of a single mutant on trees. We show that the number of leaves (terminal nodes) plays …
The efficiency of the international oil trade networks (iOTNs) is an important measure of the efficient redistribution of oil resources among various economies. Adopting cooperation strategies between economies can enhance the efficiency of the iOTNs. …
