The announcement of the discovery of a Higgs boson-like particle at CERN will be
remembered as one of the milestones of the scientific endeavor of the 21st century. In this …

The structure of a large network (graph) can often be revealed by partitioning it into smaller
and possibly more dense sub-networks that are easier to handle. One of such …

Represented as graphs, real networks are intricate combinations of order and disorder.
Fixing some of the structural properties of network models to their values observed in real …

Research in computational epidemiology to date has concentrated on coarse-grained
statistical analysis of populations, often synthetic ones. By contrast, this paper focuses on …

Connectivity is currently a central issue in landscape management and planning for the
conservation of wildlife species occupying scarce habitat patches. In recent years, this issue …

We uncover the global organization of clustering in real complex networks. To this end, we
ask whether triangles in real networks organize as in maximally random graphs with given …

There is recent evidence that the core of the Internet, which was formerly dominated by large
transit providers, has been reshaped after the transition to a multimedia-oriented network …

Online social networks have become a new channel for urban citizens to acquire
