Network-based exploration of basin precipitation based on satellite and observed data
Adequate and efficient precipitation data is a major concern due to its spatiotemporal variability and topographic and climatic factors....

Emergent activity networks in a model of punctuated equilibrium
We revisit the simple, yet very influential Bak–Sneppen model of biological evolution known to yield a self-organized state exhibiting features of...

A modified efficiency centrality to identify influential nodes in weighted networks
It is still a crucial issue to identify influential nodes effectively in the study of complex networks. As for the existing efficiency centrality...

DIPP: Diffusion of Privacy Preferences in Online Social Networks
Ensuring the privacy of users is a key component in various computer systems such as online social networks, where users often share content,...

Robustness and resilience of complex networks
Complex networks are ubiquitous: a cell, the human brain, a group of people and the Internet are all examples of interconnected many-body systems...

Interconnected Evolution of Epidemic and Public Vaccination Opinion
A new model of interconnected coevolving SIRS epidemic and public vaccination opinion pattern is presented. The underlying two-layer network contains...

Contagion dynamics on higher-order networks
A paramount research challenge in network and complex systems science is to understand the dissemination of diseases, information and behaviour. The...

The Geometry of Light
In which we trace the several attempts to explain the rainbow by natural philosophers such as Thomas Harriot, Johannes Kepler and Marco de Dominis...

Modelling Energy Security: The Case of Dutch Urban Energy Communities
Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy...

Higher order interactions destroy phase transitions in Deffuant opinion dynamics model
Most opinion dynamics models are based on pairwise interactions. However in many real situations, discussions take place within groups of people....

The Birth of String Theory
This chapter describes the birth of string theory from the dual resonance models. It arose from the question of whether any dynamical models could...

An Evidence-Driven Model of Voting and Party Competition
In this paper we report on the development of an agent-based model (ABM) simulating the behaviour of voters and the positioning of political parties...

Heterogeneous node copying from hidden network structure
Node copying is an important mechanism for network formation, yet most models assume uniform copying rules. Motivated by observations of...

Essentials of Lattice Gauge Theories (LGT)
This chapter gives an introduction to Lattice Gauge Theories (LGT). After an introduction into the history of the subject beginning with Wegner’s...

Behavioural responses to horizontal vibrations of quasi-2D ideal granular beds: an experimental approach
In this experimental study, granular bed response to horizontal vibrations of various frequencies and amplitudes are examined with high-speed...

Effect of flexible membrane in triaxial test on the mechanical behaviour of rockfill material using Discrete Element Method
The investigation of rockfill materials poses challenges due to their large particle size, associated high cost, and long laboratory testing...

How to model phase transitions? The changing approaches 1937–1970
The paper aims at characterising and documenting a fundamental change in how phase transitions were modelled microscopically in the period 1937–1970....

Physical Aspects of Computing
Considering physical systems as information processors has proven enormously fruitful and illuminating: the computer as a metaphor. However,...

Properties of Bound Electron Pairs
The energies of spin singlet and triplet bound electron pairs are reckoned for electrons interacting through the Coulomb interaction, while sitting...
