Srivastava, Varnika (author)This thesis introduces the concept of Fairness Aware Influence (FAI), which is dependent on prevalence and fairness. Prevalence of a given seed node is the number of infected nodes. Fairness can be defined differently based on the application or problem statement. In this case, the fairness is defined as the variation in the fraction of...master thesis 2023

Wang, F. (author), Kooij, Robert (author)Network controllability and its robustness have been widely studied. However, analytical methods to calculate network controllability with respect to node in- and out-degree targeted removals are currently lacking. This paper develops methods, based on generating functions for the in- and out-degree distributions, to approximate the minimum...journal article 2023

Wang, Jiepeng (author), Zhou, Hong (author), Sun, Xinlei (author), Yuan, Y. (author)Due to the fact that there is a lack of comprehensive understanding of how the dynamic nature of supply chain networks (SCNs) interrelates with network structures, particularly network topologies under disruptions. This research employs a novel evolving model of a supply chain network (SCNE model) by modifying the Barabási and Albert (BA)...journal article 2023

Aydin, N.Y. (author), Yigitbasi, Emre (author), Casali, Y. (author), van Wee, G.P. (author)Rapid urbanization has posed challenges to accessibility to critical services that require in-depth analysis. Complex networks theory has been used to evaluate the evolution of network topologies or the overall accessibility of transportation systems. However, topological metrics to explain the temporal changes in accessibility levels do not...journal article 2023

Reggiani, G. (author), Verma, T. (author), Daamen, W. (author), Hoogendoorn, S.P. (author)Bicycle networks are made up of different types of infrastructure for cars, bikes and mixed use, which has resulted in various definitions being used to describe them. However, it’s crucial to bring these definitions together to understand the structural differences among them and the impact of choices and investments in bike infrastructure....journal article 2023

Liu, Zhihao (author), Zhou, Jianfeng (author), Reniers, G.L.L.M.E. (author)In order to identify and clarify the association between the factors leading to accidents in a petrochemical tank area, this study analyzes investigation reports of 212 petrochemical tank farm accidents and combines this with the “association rule” mining and science related to complex networks. The main risk factors are determined and a risk...journal article 2023

Tan, M.D. (author), Ibarra Gonzalez, P. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Ramirez, Andrea (author)The reliance of the petrochemical industry on fossil-based sources will need to be reduced by the introduction of Alternative carbon sources (ACS). Introducing ACS in a petrochemical cluster will require existing processes to be modified or replaced, potentially affecting other chemical processes within the cluster due to existing material and...book chapter 2023

Yiğitbaşi, Emre (author)Urban areas are evolving in terms of their growing population and their developing systems and infrastructure. This evolution brings about concerns regarding social equity, which refers to the fairness of distribution of certain attributes to groups or individuals. Transport equity is one of the dimensions of this issue, and accessibility...master thesis 2022

Liu, Xinhan (author)Opinion dynamics models study how the interaction among people influences the opinion formation process. In most opinion dynamics models, only one opinion could exist in the steady state, which is different from the real-life opinion formation process. In 2009, Shao \emph{et al.} introduced a non-consensus opinion (NCO) model, which allows...master thesis 2022
