Open AccessAge-specific social mixing of school-aged children in a US setting using proximity detecting sensors and contact surveys
Comparisons of the utility and accuracy of methods for measuring social interactions relevant to disease transmission are rare. To increase the evidence base supporting specific methods to measure social inter...

Open AccessAssociation between physician adoption of a new oral anti-diabetic medication and Medicare and Medicaid drug spending
In the United States, there is well-documented regional variation in prescription drug spending. However, the specific role of physician adoption of brand name drugs on the variation in patient-level prescript...

Ad-hoc limited scale-free models for unstructured peer-to-peer networks
Several protocol efficiency metrics (e.g., scalability, search success rate, routing reachability and stability) depend on the capability of preserving structure even over the churn caused by the ad-hoc nodes ...

Modelling disease outbreaks in realistic urban social networks
Most mathematical models for the spread of disease use differential equations based on uniform mixing assumptions1 or ad hoc models for the contact process2,3,4. Here we explore the use of dynamic bipartite graph...

Small-World Synchronized Computing Networks for Scalable Parallel Discrete-Event Simulations
We study the scalability of parallel discrete-event simulations for arbitrary short-range interacting systems with asynchronous dynamics. When the synchronization topology mimics that of the short-range intera...
