Changing Opinions in a Changing World: a New Perspective in Sociophysics
A. Pluchino, V. Latora, A. Rapisarda
We propose a new model of opinion formation, the Opinion Changing Rate (OCR) model. Instead of investigating the conditions that allow consensus in a world of agents with different…
Quantifying the relevance of different mediators in the human immune cell network
Paolo Tieri, Silvana Valensin, Vito Latora +4
Immune cells coordinate their efforts for the correct and efficient functioning of the immune system (IS). Each cell type plays a distinct role and communicates with other cell typ…
A measure of centrality based on the network efficiency
Vito Latora, Massimo Marchiori
We introduce a new measure of centrality, the information centrality C^I, based on the concept of efficient propagation of information over the network. C^I is defined for both val…
Multifractal analysis of Mt. St. Helens seismicity as a tool for identifying eruptive activity
Filippo Caruso, Sergio Vinciguerra, Vito Latora +2
We present a multifractal analysis of Mount St. Helens seismic activity during 1980-2002. The seismic time distribution is studied in relation to the eruptive activity, mainly mark…
Detection of invisible and crucial events: from seismic fluctuations to the war against terrorism
Paolo Allegrini, Leone Fronzoni, Paolo Grigolini +5
We prove the efficiency of a new method for the detection of crucial events that might have useful applications to the war against terrorism. This has to do with the search for rar…
