What is emergence, after all?

Abbas K. Rizi

The term emergence is increasingly used across scientific disciplines to describe phenomena that arise from interactions among a system's components but cannot be readily inferred…

Story Arcs, Success and Diffusion of Turkish TV Dramas

Guanghui Pan, Selcan Mutgan, Abdul Basit Adeel +1

Turkish TV dramas, renowned for their extensive episodes and captivating romantic narratives, have gained global popularity, leading to the central question of this study: what dri…

Homophily Within and Across Groups

Abbas K. Rizi, Riccardo Michielan, Clara Stegehuis +1

Homophily -- the tendency of individuals to interact with similar others -- shapes how networks form and function. Yet existing approaches typically collapse homophily to a single…

Strength and weakness of disease-induced herd immunity in networks

Takayuki Hiraoka, Zahra Ghadiri, Abbas K. Rizi +2

When a fraction of a population becomes immune to an infectious disease, the population-wide infection risk decreases nonlinearly due to collective protection, known as herd immuni…

Effectiveness of Contact Tracing on Networks with Cliques

Abbas K. Rizi, Leah A. Keating, James P. Gleeson +2

Contact tracing, the practice of isolating individuals who have been in contact with infected individuals, is an effective and practical way of containing disease spread. Here, we…

Herd Immunity and Epidemic Size in Networks with Vaccination Homophily

Takayuki Hiraoka, Abbas K. Rizi, Mikko Kivelä +1

We study how the herd immunity threshold and the expected epidemic size depend on homophily with respect to vaccine adoption. We find that the presence of homophily considerably in…

Directed Percolation in Random Temporal Network Models with Heterogeneities

Arash Badie-Modiri, Abbas K. Rizi, Márton Karsai +1

The event graph representation of temporal networks suggests that the connectivity of temporal structures can be mapped to a directed percolation problem. However, similar to perco…

Directed Percolation in Temporal Networks

Arash Badie-Modiri, Abbas K. Rizi, Márton Karsai +1

Connectivity and reachability on temporal networks, which can describe the spreading of a disease, decimation of information or the accessibility of a public transport system over…

Epidemic Spreading and Digital Contact Tracing: Effects of Heterogeneous Mixing and Quarantine Failures

Abbas K. Rizi, Ali Faqeeh, Arash Badie-Modiri +1

Contact tracing via digital tracking applications installed on mobile phones is an important tool for controlling epidemic spreading. Its effectivity can be quantified by modifying…

The strategy of survival for a competition between normal and anomalous diffusion

Moein Khalighi, Jamshid Ardalankia, Abbas Karimi Rizi +2

In this paper, we study the competition of two diffusion processes for achieving the maximum possible diffusion in an area. This competition, however, does not occur in the same ci…
