The spread of an infectious disease in a population involves interactions leading to an epidemic outbreak through a network of contacts. Extending on Watts and Strogatz (1998) who showed that short-distance connections ...

Characterizing the brain’s anatomical and dynamical organization and how this enables it to carry out complex tasks is highly non trivial. While there has long been strong evidence that brain anatomy can be thought of as ...

The human brain has been studied at multiple scales, from neurons, circuits, areas with well-defined anatomical and functional boundaries, to large-scale functional networks which mediate coherent cognition. In a recent ...

Networks that exhibit large hubs are prone to show higher connectivity than random structures. This feature is also reflected in the presence of power law distribution in the degree distribution of nodes. We check for the ...

The search for general properties in network structure has been a central issue for food web studies in recent years. One such property is the small-world topology that combines a high clustering and a small distance between ...
