In this paper we present a study of the influence of local affinity in heterogeneous preferential attachment (PA) networks. Heterogeneous PA models are a generalization of the Barabási–Albert model to heterogeneous networks, where the affinity between nodes biases the attachment probability...

In this paper we present a study of the connectivity degrees of the threshold preferential attachment model, a generalization of the Barabási–Albert model to heterogeneous complex networks. The threshold model incorporates the states of the nodes in its preferential linking rule and assumes...

The heterogeneity and diversity of users and external knowledge resources is a hallmark of open innovation communities (OICs). Although user segmentation in heterogeneous OICs is a prominent and recurring issue, it has received limited attention in open innovation research and practice. Most...

A wireless heterogeneous network can help increase the access transmission speed and contribute thereby to the broadband deployment policies of administrations and telecommunications operators. Given the technical particularities of wireless heterogeneous networks, the deployment of wireless...

This article applies social capital frameworks to examine the effects of Instagram hashtag use on heterogeneous and homogeneous networks as well as online civic engagement. Using an online survey of college students (N = 193), the results revealed that using Instagram hashtags for communication,...

Transformation towards more sustainable food systems, including combating climate change, has been a persistent political goal. As dairy is responsible for a large share of greenhouse gas emissions its substitution by plant-based milk products becomes an ecologically grounded but economically...

We describe the distributed object-oriented threads system (DOTS), a programming environment designed to support object-oriented fork/join parallel programming in a heterogeneous distributed environment. A mixed network of Windows NT PCs and UNIX workstations is transformed by DOTS into a...

A wireless heterogeneous network can help increase the access transmission speed and contribute thereby to the broadband deployment policies of administrations and telecommunications operators. Given the technical particularities of wireless heterogeneous networks, the deployment of wireless...

In this paper, we propose and study an SIS epidemic model with multiple transmission routes on heterogeneous networks. We focus on the dynamical evolution of the prevalence. Through mathematical analysis, we obtain the basic reproduction number R0 by investigating the local stability of the...
