Harde stad, zachte stad: Moderne architectuur en de antropologie van een naoorlogse wijk

There is something irrevocable in architecture. In contrast with a painting or a musical play, one cannot alter an architectural work of art other than by blowing it up or pulling it down. Streets, buildings, squares and parks are part of the hard, physical environment in which we organize our lives. But why conceptualize architecture as a...

Topology of molecular interaction networks

Molecular interactions are often represented as network models which have become the common language of many areas of biology. Graphs serve as convenient mathematical representations of network models and have themselves become objects of study. Their topology has been intensively researched over the last decade after evidence was found that...

Do greedy assortativity optimization algorithms produce good results?

Correlating the topology of a metabolic network with its growth capacity

Metabolic network destruction: Relating topology to robustness

Biological networks exhibit intriguing topological properties such as small-worldness. In this paper, we investigate whether the topology of a metabolic network is related to its robustness. We do so by perturbing a metabolic system in silico, one reaction at a time and studying the correlations between growth, as predicted by flux balance...
