Targeted Recovery as an Effective Strategy against Epidemic Spreading
Lucas Böttcher, José S. Andrade, Hans J. Herrmann
We propose a targeted intervention protocol where recovery is restricted to individuals that have the least number of infected neighbours. Our recovery strategy is highly efficient…
Spatial features of synaptic adaptation affecting learning performance
Damian L. Berger, Lucilla de Arcangelis, Hans J. Herrmann
Recent studies have proposed that the diffusion of messenger molecules, such as monoamines, can mediate the plastic adaptation of synapses in supervised learning of neural networks…
Tomographic Study of Internal Erosion of Particle Flows in Porous Media
Filippo Bianchi, Falk K. Wittel, Marcel Thielmann +2
In particle-laden flows through porous media, porosity and permeability are significantly affected by the deposition and erosion of particles. Experiments show that the permeabilit…
Tensile Stress Relaxation in Unsaturated Granular Materials
Filippo Bianchi, Marcel Thielmann, Roman Mani +2
The mechanics of granular media at low liquid saturation levels remain poorly understood. Macroscopic mechanical properties are affected by microscale forces and processes, such as…
The complex social network of surnames: A comparison between Brazil and Portugal
G. D. Ferreira, G. M. Viswanathan, L. R. da Silva +1
We present a study of social networks based on the analysis of Brazilian and Portuguese family names (surnames). We construct networks whose nodes are names of families and whose e…
Optimal array of sand fences
Izael A. Lima, Ascânio D. Araújo, Eric J. R. Parteli +2
Sand fences are widely applied to prevent soil erosion by wind in areas affected by desertification. Sand fences also provide a way to reduce the emission rate of dust particles, w…
