An Empirical Study of the Relation between Community Structure and Transitivity
[chapter]
2013
Studies in Computational Intelligence
In an attempt to better understand this concept, we study the relationship between the strength of the community structure and the network transitivity (or clustering coefficient). ...
We adopt an approach based on random models to empirically study how one property varies depending on the other. ...
Methods The empirical approach we adopted to study the relationship between community structure and transitivity is two-stepped. ...

NONLINEAR PREDICTION OF HUMAN RESTING-STATE FUNCTIONAL CONNECTIVITY BASED ON NETWORK COMMUNICATION MEASURES
2015
International Journal of Research in Engineering and Technology
However, exploring the relationship between functional connectivity (FC) and structural connectivity (SC) remains challengeable and thus has motivated a number of computational models to investigate the ...
Besides, compared with the linear method, the fitting value between predicted FC and empirical FC attains higher after applying nonlinear process on communication measures which may help to shed light ...

2020
Tehnički Vjesnik
An empirical study has been conducted to test the framework and identify the relationship between individuals' problem-solving styles and the corresponding percentages of turn transitions. ...
The results show a non-linear relationship between diversity in Orientation to Change and Ways of Deciding dimensions of problem-solving style and the percentage of turn transitions. ...
The empirical study has shown that an analysis based on the proposed framework can reveal the relationship between PS style and team verbal communication. ...

Resting-brain functional connectivity predicted by analytic measures of network communication
2013
Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences of the United States of America
Numerous studies have documented strong and significant correlations between the strengths of structural and functional connections at whole-brain (2, 10-13) and mesoscopic scales (14) , as well as acute ...
The principal communication measure applied previously in studies of brain networks is the efficiency (22) , computed as the averaged inverse of the lengths of the shortest paths between node pairs. ...
Here, we addressed the relation between SC and FC by defining and assessing analytic measures of network communication. ...

Innovative and transition potential of intentional sustainable communities
2019
CIDADES Comunidades e Territórios
It is an exploratory study that debates the articulation between an empirical phenomenon, the existence of this type of communities, and a theoretical perspective, the study of transitions. ...
This article seeks to reflect on the 'transitional potential' of intentional sustainable communities as mechanisms that foster the development of social innovation practices. ...
However, as already mentioned, these studies are still in an incipient condition. 67 One of the main difficulties felt in the development of the empirical study is the scarce literature that has been produced ...

Understanding Resistance in IT Outsourcing: A Service Provider Perspective
[chapter]
2012
Lecture Notes in Business Information Processing
This paper presents the results from an explorative empirical study, based on five service providers in the field of IT outsourcing. Our findings are twofold. ...
First, we found that all the providers under study indeed experienced the transition phase as a struggle and resistance to change was perceived as fierce. ...
The conceptual research model postulates that various dimensions affect the perceived degree of resistance and in turn influence the realization of a transition period. ...
