The complex channel networks of bone structure
Luciano da Fontoura Costa, Matheus Palhares Viana, Marcelo E. Beletti
Bone structure in mammals involves a complex network of channels (Havers and Volkmann channels) required to nourish the bone marrow cells. This work describes how three-dimensional…
Strength distribution in gradient networks
Luciano da Fontoura Costa
This article describes a gradient complex network model whose weights are proportional to the difference between uniformly distributed ``fitness'' values assigned to the nodes. It…
The Heart of Protein-Protein Interaction Networks
Luciano da Fontoura Costa
Recent developments in complex networks have paved the way to a series of important biological insights, such as the fact that many of the essential proteins of S. cerevisae corres…
Hub-Based Community Finding
Luciano da Fontoura Costa
This article presents a hub-based approach to community finding in complex networks. After identifying the network nodes with highest degree (the so-called hubs), the network is fl…
Complex Networks, Simple Vision
Luciano da Fontoura Costa
This paper proposes and illustrates a general framework to integrate the areas of vision research and complex networks. Each image pixel is associated to a network node and the Euc…
Reinforcing the Resilience of Complex Networks
Luciano da Fontoura Costa
Given a connected network, it can be augmented by applying a growing strategy (e.g. random or scale-free rules) over the previously existing structure. Another approach for augment…
