▼ This study investigates the role of Facebook in building social capital. The study was conducted with eight students doing their graduate studies in Addis Ababa University. The premise for the selection of the University as the study site is available baseline data which indicates that the University is the largest internet user in the country. The research follows the procedures of an exploratory case study design in examining the experiences of use of Facebook and its outcomes on social capital. A semi structured interview guide was developed and used as the data collection instrument. Two analytic techniques were applied in this study: social network analysis and cross case analysis. The first was used in analyzing data pertaining to the nature of relationships between study participants and five of their most frequent contacts on Facebook. Cross case analysis was used in analyzing the bulk of data obtained from study participants pertaining to their general experiences and perceptions in relation to Facebook. Four key findings emerged from this study. First, Facebook is primarily used for the purpose of maintaining existing offline ties, particularly those established in higher learning institutions and the workplace. Second, study participants’ egocentric networks on Facebook were low in density, high in ego betweenness centrality and highly homophilous, which implies better accessibility of social capital by study participants. Third, the social capital outcomes of Facebook use were found to be multifaceted in the implications they hold for the psychological, social, cultural and economic development of study participants. Last, challenges associated with Facebook use pertained to: internet inaccessibility, privacy concerns and problems in effective utilization. In conclusion, based on the responses provided by study participants the type of social capital that pervades most Facebook relationships was found to be bonding social capital, although bridging functions of Facebook relationships were also identified. This study tries to situate the social work profession and discipline in how the findings implicate practice, research and education. The practical implications relate to social workers’ role as facilitators to enhance universal accessibility of the internet and utilize Facebook as a platform to promote the social work profession. In terms of the implications for research, Facebook could be seen as providing the context for examining different aspects of human behavior and social dynamics. Last, the implications of the study for social work education could be understood in terms of introducing prospective social workers with concepts and techniques in social network analysis.

▼ Recent estimates suggest that a large percentage of the population experiences some type of traumatic event over the course of the lifetime, but a relatively small proportion of individuals develop severe, long-lasting problems (e.g., posttraumatic stress disorder; PTSD). One major goal for trauma researchers is to understand what factors contribute to these differential outcomes, and much of this research has examined correlates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) symptom severity. An important next step in this line of research is the development of conceptual frameworks to foster a deeper understanding of the relationships among these diverse predictors of PTSD and their predictive power in relation to each other. A framework proposed by Rubin, Boals, and Hoyle centers on the influence of narrative centrality (construal of a traumatic experience as central to one's identity and to the life story) and negative affectivity (the tendency to experience negative emotion and to interpret situations and experiences in a negative light), suggesting many variables may correlate with PTSD symptoms via shared variance with these two factors. With a sample of 477 participants recruited from Amazon Mechanical Turk, this dissertation project extended the work of Rubin and colleagues by a) utilizing structural equation modeling techniques to simultaneously examine relationships among variables, b) investigating the utility of the model with a carefully-selected list of PTSD correlates, c) extending the model by including PTSD symptom severity, and d) exploring both direct and indirect effects to assess the roles of narrative centrality and negative affectivity as they relate to known PTSD correlates and PTSD symptom severity. PTSD correlates included social support quality and quantity, peritraumatic dissociation, negative posttraumatic cognitions, perceived injustice, and negative religious coping. Hypotheses were partially supported, and there was some evidence that the model may be effective in distinguishing between variables more and less germane to the individual's construal of a traumatic experience.

▼ Volumes have been written on the subject of innovation, in academic literature as well as the popular press. Conventional wisdom would have one believe that innovation is the purview of the lone inventor at the workbench or the solo scientist huddled over the laboratory microscope. Yet a growing body of literature points to how relationships among actors - be they individuals, teams or entire companies - form the foundations of new knowledge (Hargadon & Sutton 1997; Powell, Koput & Smith-Doerr 1996; Uzzi & Spiro 2005). The most effective networks of relations are those that facilitate the exchange of unique information, often from distinct domains (Fleming 2002; Hargadon 2003). Within those networks, the people best situated to conduct such exchanges possess either large numbers of connections or, more typically, occupy positions as bridges between otherwise disconnected third parties (Burt 1992; Galaskiewicz 1979; Gould & Fernandez 1989). Despite the role social networks may play in fostering innovation, we do not well understand the processes by which actors come to occupy these positions. In this dissertation, I make use of a novel dataset to provide insight into how some people come to occupy certain preferential network position while others do not. Specifically, I study the work-flow network among software engineers at a large, West Coast technology company as defined by the writing and reviewing of lines of code. By following a sample of 804 new entrants to the firm over a period of three years, I am able to trace the evolution of their positions within the larger network and understand the influence of factors present at time of entry.The results of the analyses paint a consistent picture as to the determinants of position in the code review network for software engineers: one's team and one's job at time of entry play the strongest roles in determining one's subsequent centrality and autonomy. I find little to no evidence in support of a role for either intellectual endowment (educational attainment, years of previous work experience, coding ability) or social endowment (pre-employment relationships with other employees present at time of entry). Indeed, while non-significant, results were frequently opposite the hypothesized direction for individual attributes. The strong evidence on the influence of job- and team-related factors suggests that individuals have the greatest opportunity to shape their network positions when they choose their jobs and their managers, and thus their teams. One additional finding suggests that network activity also matters. That is, one can increase both centrality and autonomy through the brute force of writing a great deal of code.

▼ The purpose of this study was to assess the influence of positional segregation on Latino Major League Baseball players. The process of positional segregation is often perceived as being negative in practice, but has been detected in many professional sport organizations within present time. Numerous studies have examined positional segregation in sport, but many of these studies analyze a singular perspective between Caucasian and African American players. Thus, their findings may be limited and may not entirely explain the positional segregation phenomena. The intent of this dissertation was to further explore the relationship between racioethnicity, country of origin, and skin color and their influence on where Latino Major League Baseball players will be positioned in regards to centrality. To accomplish this purpose, archival data was used to create three independent samples for the 1995, 2000, and 2005 seasons. Logistic regression was utilized to analyze each independent season with centrality acting as the dependent variable and all other remaining variables acting as independent variables or control variables. The results suggest Latinos may not be negatively perceived by mangers and teammates, as Latinos were frequently found to play in central positions within each independent year and perspective of centrality. Mixed results were discovered in regards to country of origin. Generally, Latino baseball players from foreign countries were found to play in central positions within each perspective more often than non central positions. Skin color indicated results that suggested the tone of a player’s skin indicated where the athlete would be positioned in regard to centrality. Latinos players who were dark skinned were often marginalized to non central positions, while those players who were lighter skinned most often played in central positions. Generally, the findings of this dissertation further support previous works within positional segregation. Latinos are commonly found to play in central positions in regards to racioethnicity. Skin color suggests that the color of one’s skin will indicate the importance of the player in reference to centrality. These results may oppose those studies that claim positional segregation has diminished within present time. These findings suggest positional segregation is stable within professional baseball.

▼ Characterization of protein-protein interfaces can provide understanding of the fundamental properties of their functionality. Additionally, such understanding aids functional annotation of the interfaces and prediction to help in drug design. In this work, we classified protein interfaces broadly into two functional categories: Functionally Linked Interfaces of Proteins (FLIPs) and Functionally uncorrelated Contacts (FunCs). We used a method, based on network analysis followed by statistical analysis, to classify protein interfaces based on their functionality. Additionally, the method used for classification of protein interfaces characterizes each subunit in the complex individually allowing to expand the use of our method towards prediction of functionally linked interfaces. We assessed two different types of network constructs, as well as a method combining the best features from both the network constructs, for their classification accuracy and ability to predict functional interfaces. In the first network construct, Residue Interaction Networks (RINs), amino acid interactions are represented by spatial distance cut-offs of 8 Å between two Cα atoms of the residues. This simple approach classified FLIPs from FunCs with a consistent accuracy of 72%. It also identified dissimilarities among FLIP and FunC organizations. The positive correlation of FLIPs and network organization features suggest that FLIPs have a surface rich in concavities, while FunCs have smooth surface. The second network construct, Protein Energy Network, identified interactions among the amino acid residues using PyRosetta generated interaction energy scores. This construct was designed to assimilate chemical information in addition to geometrical information based RIN construct to study energy influenced organization of interfaces. A 70% classification accuracy was achieved with this method; however, the compromise in overall accuracy is balanced by accuracies of categorization of a few functional subcategories such as structural interfaces were classified with 100% accuracy. Finally we combined the identified spatial and energetic organization features from both the constructs and analyzed the classification potential of the combined model. It achieved an accuracy of 73% in classifying FLIPs from FunCs. Analysis of organization features from both the constructs, and also, the combination using Receiver Operating Characteristic (ROC) Curves identified that the classification abilities of combined organization features can be translated to a better prediction method among the three. Predictions of functionally linked interfaces of protein showed that 60% of the observed interfaces were correctly predicted, along with identification at least one connected triplet in 87% of the FLIPs. However, a 75% over prediction rate was observed. Analysis of FunCs on the other hand showed that we identified a connected triplet in 70% of the proteins, but rarely predicted functionally uncorrelated interface residues. Overall, our… Advisors/Committee Members: Hynds, DiAnna L. (Committee Chair), Beck, Brian W.

▼ In this thesis we study the problem of computing Betweenness Centrality in dynamic and distributed networks. Betweenness Centrality (BC) is a well-known measure for the relative importance of a node in a social network. It is widely used in applications such as understanding lethality in biological networks, identifying key actors in terrorist networks, supply chain management processes and more. The necessity of computing BC in large networks, especially when they quickly change their topology over time, motivates the study of dynamic algorithms that can perform faster than static ones. Moreover, the current techniques for computing BC requires a deeper understanding of a classic problem in computer science: computing all pairs all shortest paths (APASP) in a graph. One of the main contributions of this thesis is a collection of dynamic algorithms for computing APASP and BC scores which are provably faster than static algorithms for several classes of graphs. We use n = |V| and m = |E| to indicate respectively the number of nodes and edges in a directed positively weighted graph G = (V,E). Our bounds depend on the parameter [nu]* that is defined as the maximum number of edges that lie on shortest paths through any single vertex. The main results in the first part of this thesis are listed below. - A decrease-only algorithm for computing BC and APASP running in time O([nu]* n) that is provably faster than recomputing from scratch in sparse graphs. - An increase-only algorithm for computing BC and APASP that runs in O([nu]*² log n) per update for a sequence of at least [Omega](m*/[nu]*) updates. Here m* is the number of edges in G that lie on shortest paths. This algorithm uses O(m* [nu]*) space. - An increase-only algorithm for computing BC and APASP that runs in O([nu]*² log n) but improves the computational space to O(m*n). - A fully dynamic algorithm for computing BC and APASP that runs in O([nu]*² log³ n) amortized time per update for a sequence of at least [Omega](n) updates. - A refinement of our fully dynamic algorithm that improves the amortized running time to O([nu]*² log² n), saving a logarithmic factor. In the second part of this thesis, we study the case when the input graph is a distributed network of machines and the BC score of each machine, considering its location within the network topology, needs to be computed. In this scenario, each node in the input graph is a self-contained machine with limited knowledge of the network and communication power. Each machine only knows the (virtual) location of the neighbors machines (adjacent nodes in the input graph). The messages, exchanged in each round between machines, cannot exceed a bounded size of at most O(log n) bits. In this distributed model, called CONGEST, we present algorithms for computing BC in near-optimal time for unweighted networks, and some classes of weighted networks. Specifically, our main results are: - A distributed BC algorithm for unweighted undirected graphs completing in at most min(2n+O(D[underscore u]); 4n) rounds,… Advisors/Committee Members: Ramachandran, Vijaya (advisor), Alvisi, Lorenzo (committee member), Nasre, Meghana (committee member), Plaxton, C.

▼ Study of complex networks by researchers from many disciplines has provided penetrating insights on various complex systems. A study of the world wide web from a network theoretic perspective has led to the design of new search engines [65]. The spread of diseases is now better understood by analyzing the underlying social network [26]. The study of metabolic networks, protein-protein interaction networks and the transcriptional regulatory networks with graph theoretic rigor, has led to the growing importance of an interdisciplinary approach [71]. Network centrality measures, which has been of interest to the social scientists, from as long as 1950 [13], is today studied extensively in the framework of complex networks. The thesis is an investigation on understanding human navigation with a network analytic approach using the well established and widely used centrality measures. Experiments were conducted on human participants to observe how people navigate in a complex environment. We made human participants way-find a destination from a source on a complex network and analyzed the paths that were taken. Our analysis established a fact that the learning process involved in navigating better in an unknown network boils down to learning certain strategic locations on the network. The vertices in the paths taken by the participants, when analyzed using the available centrality measures, enabled us to conclude experimentally that humans are naturally inclined to learn superior ranked vertices to navigate better and reach their intended destination. Our experiments were based on a word game called the word-morph. A generalized version of the experiment was conducted on a 6x6 photo collage with an underlying network hidden from the participant. A detailed analysis of the above experiment established a fact that, when humans are asked to take a goal-directed path, they were prone to take a path that passed through landmark nodes in the network. We call such paths center-strategic. We then present an algorithm that simulates the navigational strategy adopted by humans. We show empirically that the algorithm performs better than naive random walk based navigational techniques. We observe that the algorithm produces rich center-strategic paths on scale-free networks. We note that the effectiveness of the algorithm is highly dependent on the topology of the network by comparing its functionality on Erdos-Renyi networks and Barabasi-Albert networks. Then we discuss a lookahead algorithm to compute betweenness centrality in networks under vertex deletion operations. We show that the widely used Brandes algorithm can be modified to a lookahead version. We show that our proposed algorithm performs better than recomputing the betweenness centrality values in the vertex deleted graph. We show that our method works 20% faster than the Brandes algorithm. Advisors/Committee Members: Veni Madhavan, C E (advisor).

Over the last years, centrality measures have gained importance within complex and social networks research, e.g., as predictors of behavior, identification of powerful and influential elements, detection of critical spots in communication networks and in transmission of diseases. New measures have been created and old ones reinvented, but few have been proposed to understand the relation among measures as well as between measures and other structural properties of the networks. Our research analyzes and studies these relations with the objective of providing a guide to the application of existing centrality measures for new environments and new purposes. We shall also present evidence that the measures known as Walk Betweenness, Information, Eigenvector and Betweenness are substantially better than other metrics in distinguishing vertices in a network by their structural properties. Furthermore, we provide evidence that each metric performs better with respect to distinct kinds of networks. In addition, we show that most metrics present a high level of redundancy (over 0.8 correlation) and its simultaneous use, in most cases, is fruitless. The results achieved in our research reinforce the idea that to use centrality measures properly, knowledge about their underlying properties and behavior is valuable, as we show in this dissertation.

Recentemente, as medidas de centralidade ganharam relevância nas pesquisas com redes complexas e redes sociais, atuando como preditores comportamentais, na identificação de elementos de poder e influência, na detecção de pontos estratégicos para a comunicação e para a transmissão de doenças. Novas métricas foram criadas e outras reformuladas, mas pouco tem sido feito para que se entenda a relação existente entre as diferentes medidas de centralidades, assim como sua relação com outras propriedades estruturais das redes em que elas são frequentemente aplicadas. Nossa pesquisa visa analisar e estudar essas relações para que sirvam de guia na aplicação das medidas de centralidade existentes em novos contextos e aplicações. Nós apresentamos também evidencias que indicam um desempenho superior das medidas conhecidas como Walk Betweenness, Information, Eigenvector and Betweenness na distinção de vértices das redes somente pelas suas características estruturais. Ainda, nós propiciamos detalhes sobre o desempenho distinto de cada métrica de acordo com o tipo de rede em que se trabalha. Adicionalmente, mostramos que várias das medidas de centralidade apresentam um alto nível de redundância e concordância entre si (com correlação superior a 0,8). Um forte indício que o uso simultâneo de várias métricas é improdutivo ou pouco eficaz. Os resultados da nossa pesquisa reforçam a ideia de que para usar apropriadamente as medidades de centralidade é de extrema importância que se saiba mais sobre o comportamento e propriedades das mesmas, fato que salientamos nessa dissertação.

Esse trabalho consiste em um estudo sobre a aplicabilidade da medida de centralidade de intermediação (betweenness centrality) combinada com demandas de tráfego em redes viárias com o objetivo de identificar os principais pontos dessas redes. Como principais pontos refere-se aqui aos que aparecem com maior frequência entre os caminhos utilizados pelos motoristas que se deslocam pela rede viária. Trata-se de um estudo exploratório, que se inicia com a aplicação da centralidade de intermediação sobre redes simples, estendendo-se até simulações sobre redes baseadas em mapas reais. Nesse trabalho é analisado o comportamento da medida de centralidade sobre a topologia da rede - i.e. tanto sem considerar uma demanda, como considerando demandas de diversas magnitudes. Para ilustrar a proposta, os resultados são confrontados com valores de centralidade de intermediação calculados sobre as taxas de ocupação das vias extraídas de simulação microscópica. Ao final, foram apresentadas evidências de que o método proposto consegue explicar os fluxos de tráfego com melhor desempenho do que a centralidade de intermediação original. No entanto, o método mostrou-se muito sensível à função de custo utilizada na atribuição da demanda de tráfego ao grafo da rede. Os melhores resultados demonstrados pela abordagem proposta foram obtidos em experimentos sobre redes não regulares e com demandas de tráfego não uniformes. No caso de redes regulares com demanda uniforme, o melhor desempenho foi obtido pelo cálculo da centralidade sem considerar a demanda, mas atribuindo-se o custo unitário às arestas do grafo representativo da rede.

This work consists of a study of applicability of betweenness centrality combined with traffic demands in road networks with the objective of identifying their central points. By central points we refer to those which appear with high frequency among the paths used by drivers that move along the road network. It is an exploratory study, which begins with the application of the betweenness centrality on simple networks, extending to simulations on networks based on real maps. In this study we have analyzed the behavior of the metric over the network topology - i.e. without considering demand, as well as experiments considering demands with several magnitudes. To illustrate the proposed method, the results are compared with betweenness centrality values calculated over roadways occupation rates extracted from microscopic simulation. At the end, evidence that the proposed method can explain traffic flows with better performance than the original betweenness centrality were presented. However, the proposed method was shown to be very sensitive to the cost function used in the allocation of the graph network traffic demand. The best results demonstrated by the proposed approach were obtained in experiments on nonregular networks and non-uniform traffic demands. In the case of regular networks with uniform demand, the best performance was obtained by calculating the betweenness centrality without considering the…

▼ The Russian airline industry has been considerably transformed since the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991. The dissolution of the Soviet Aeroflot paved the way for creation of new private and government-owned carriers. Yet, the airline industry in Russia has not reached the stage of development equivalent to the state of sectors in the United States and the European Union member states. However, the lack of deregulation does not necessarily mean that the airline industry in Russia stagnated over the last decade. The thesis aims to examine three aspects of domestic route networks of Russian carriers: (i) the distribution and concentration of seat capacity (measured by the normalized Gini index); (ii) the morphology of networks (measured by the Freeman centrality index); and (iii) the centrality of airports (studied by means of the Bonacich centrality analysis). The first two aspects are meant to investigate airline networks from macro-level, whereas the third is focused on examination from micro-level. Thus, this thesis does not look at domestic route networks of Russian carriers only in their entirety, but it also takes into consideration their individual parts. The research findings tend to suggest that the majority of carriers operated networks with concentrated or very concentrated distribution of seat capacity in 2002 and 2008. Moreover, numerous Russian airlines allocated a substantial number of seats to routes to and from Moscow during the period of analysis. In regard to the morphology of networks, the predominance of carriers seemed to operate single-radial networks in 2002 and 2008. The utilization of spatially deconcentrated networks was rather scarce. During the period of analysis, the proportion of carriers reorganized their networks and adopted a multi-radial network configuration in order to complement a network of parent company or utilize airports in the Russian capital as bases. The results of the centrality analysis confirmed that Moscow’s airports occupied rather central position in domestic route networks of Russian carriers over the last decade (2000 - 2009).

O presente trabalho refere-se à pesquisa realizada na área do entorno do Boulevard Shopping Campina Grande, a fim de tratar as modificações e reestruturações presentes no espaço urbano da cidade de Campina Grande - PB, no período de 1999 a 2011. A pesquisa revela as transformações ocorridas em Campina Grande na ultima década, decorrentes, principalmente (mas não exclusivamente), da instalação do Boulevard Shopping. Sendo assim, observa-se nesse período um verdadeiro processo de reestruturação urbana na cidade, representado pela descentralização de algumas atividades comerciais e de serviços no centro tradicional, impulsionadas pela expansão da cidade na direção Leste, em consonância com a direção da localização do mencionado shopping center. Para constatar esse fato, realizou-se o levantamento do uso do solo urbano na Rua Otacílio Nepomuceno e na Avenida Severino Cabral, a fim de contabilizar o número de estabelecimentos comerciais e de serviços, terrenos e residências. Também foram feitas observações a respeito das ruas transversais, que ligam essas principais duas vias de acesso ao shopping. A pesquisa documental em arquivos de jornais e mais especificamente nos classificados de vendas de imóveis nos anos posteriores à inauguração do empreendimento foi fundamental para a obtenção de informações do período que antecede a construção do shopping, bem como para constatar o processo de valorização do solo urbano nessa área. Realizou-se ainda entrevistas com alguns moradores antigos do Bairro do Catolé e com os funcionários das concessionárias que trabalham no entorno do Boulevard Shopping. A pesquisa revela o princípio de formação de uma nova centralidade em Campina Grande, na área localizada entre os bairros do Mirante, José Pinheiro e principalmente do Catolé. Tal processo vem desencadeando várias alterações no espaço. O Bairro Catolé, particularmente, possuía outrora um perfil exclusivamente residencial, mas tem passado por reformulações intensas na última década, configurando-se em uma importante área prestadora de serviços e aglutinadora de fluxos originários não apenas de outros bairros da cidade, como também de outros municípios do interior do estado, e de estados vizinhos.

This paper refers to research in the area surrounding the Boulevard Mall in Campina Grande, in order to deal with these changes and restructuring in the urban space of Campina Grande - PB, in the period 1999 to 2011. The research reveals the changes which have occurred in Campina Grande in the last decade, due mainly (but not exclusively), to the installation of the Boulevard Mall. Thus, there is a real process in this period of urban restructuring in the city, represented by the decentralization of some commercial activities and services in the traditional center, driven by the expansion of the city in East direction along with the direction of that malls place. In order to verify this fact, a survey of urban land use in Otacílio Nepomuceno Street and Severino Cabral Avenue was conducted, in order to count the number of shops and services,…

Research Doctorate - Computer Science

THE amount of data in our world has been exploding. Computer-based methods used to analyze data ten years ago are impractical today, as the continuously evolving data acquiring technologies are producing more raw data than these methods can handle. For instance, today’s high throughput technologies like DNA microarrays can produce millions of data elements from a particular experiment, where most of the relevant analysis tools are designed to work with only a few tens of thousands. Even though the scalability of these methods/tools may be improved by porting the relevant implementations to a highly expensive super-computer or a cluster of computers, their existing fully connected data representation model can still pose many other restrictions. In this work, instead of using the traditional distance matrix based microarray data analysis model, we propose to use a novel, fast and scalable κ-Nearest Neighbor (κNN) graph-based approach. Moreover, instead of constructing the graph/network on a highly expensive system, we show its construction on graphics processing units (GPUs), which are now widely available as inexpensive, highly parallel devices. The outcome of our κNN graph construction method (termed as GPU-FS-κNN) can be used to carry out many other important computational tasks. In particular, we demonstrate its applications in two popular data analysis methods: clustering and centrality analysis. To do this, we first propose a GPU-based fast method for constructing minimum spanning trees (MST) from the κNN graphs (termed as κNN-Borůvka) and a method for partitioning the trees in an agglomerative fashion (termed as κNN-Borůvka-Agglomerative). Then, we demonstrate the use of κNN graphs in accelerating and scaling the computations of two degree-based (e.g., degree and eigenvectors) and three shortest path based (closeness, eccentricity and betweenness) centrality metrics. At the end, we integrate the developed methods and combinedly apply them on two publicly available gene-expression data sets (Alzheimer’s disease and breast cancer) and their large-scale artificial expansions. Our investigations show that the proposed integrated approach can find both numerically and biologically significant results. We also demonstrate the method’s application in extracting a robust set of gene markers that may warrant further investigations, due to their conspicuous positions in our results.
