The reproductive ratio, R 0, is a fundamental quantity in epidemiology, which determines the
initial increase in an infectious disease in a susceptible host population. In most epidemic …

The spatial and temporal scales of cardiac organogenesis and pathogenesis make
engineering of artificial heart tissue a daunting challenge. The temporal scales range from …

Naturally occurring networks exhibit quantitative features revealing underlying growth
mechanisms. Numerous network mechanisms have recently been proposed to reproduce …

In many networks such as transportation or communication networks, distance is certainly a
relevant parameter. In addition, real-world examples suggest that when long-range links are …

The existence or nonexistence of a percolation threshold on power law correlated graphs is
a fundamental question for which a general criterion is lacking. In this work we investigate …

Percolation is the paradigm for random connectivity and has been one of the most applied
statistical models. With simple geometrical rules a transition is obtained which is related to …

Scale-free networks rely on a relatively small number of highly connected nodes to achieve
a high degree of interconnectivity and robustness to random failure, but suffer from a high …

We investigate a model protein interaction network whose links represent interactions
between individual proteins. This network evolves by the functional duplication of proteins …

We provide a framework for modeling social network formation through conditional
multinomial logit models from discrete choice and random utility theory, in which each new …

We propose a model to create synthetic networks that may also serve as a narrative of a
certain kind of infrastructure network evolution. It consists of an initialization phase with the …
