Abstract:
Purpose – To cope with the increasing challenges of globalisation, various manufacturing companies have established intra-company manufacturing networks. The purpose of this paper is to link the strategic network targets (i.e. accessibility, thriftiness represented by economies of scale and economies of scope, mobility, and learning) with the capabilities and characteristics of the constituting sites of the manufacturing network and thus facilitate the identification of mismatches and the discussion of possible development paths for the network. Design/methodology/approach – The authors derive a conceptual framework from the literature which is tested with a single case; a manufacturing network consisting of eight manufacturing sites. Case data were collected based on 24 interviews with operations managers at network level and a standardised online survey among the sites’ management teams. Findings – Results indicate that manufacturing network and site levels need to be related when striving for a fit between manufacturing strategy, network strategy, and site capabilities and characteristics. Research limitations/implications – Single case studies have only limited generalisability. Nevertheless, the case demonstrates the usefulness of several dimensions when analysing manufacturing networks on site and network level. Originality/value – This paper represents the first attempt to link strategic targets of intra-company manufacturing networks with site capabilities and characteristics. Thereby, it provides a theoretical basis for future research on the relationship between strategic targets of manufacturing networks and their fulfilment. The developed manufacturing site portfolio, moreover, extends the site role typology discussion by a multi-dimensional perspective and represents a starting point for a multi-faceted discussion of site roles.

Abstract:
This paper aims to investigate the bifurcation phenomena of synchronized regions in complex dynamical networks with varying node parameters and fixed inner-linking matrices. In particular, by using the unified chaotic system as network nodes, this paper further explores the bifurcation patterns of synchronized regions with synchronous states of both equilibrium points and attractors in complex dynamical networks based on two types of inner-linking matrices, respectively. Our results indicate that there does not exist any bifurcation phenomenon in the above synchronized regions for some specific inner-linking matrices. It means that the stability of network synchronous state will not change for some specific inner-linking matrices as the parameter of node dynamics changes. However, the above synchronized regions generate various bifurcation patterns for some inner-linking matrices and varying node parameters as follows: (i) The unbounded–empty set bifurcation mode; (ii) The bounded–empty set bifurcation mode; (iii) The single bounded–multiple bounded–single bounded–empty set bifurcation mode; (iv) The unbounded–multiple disconnected–empty set bifurcation mode. All these results tell us that the inner-linking matrices play a key role for determining the bifurcation patterns of synchronized regions.

Abstract:
This paper investigates the robustness of first-order coherence characterized by the Laplacian spectrum in duplex networks with varying interlayer linking topologies and node connections of two layers under degree, closeness and eigenvector centrality indicators. The interlayer linking weight and linking rate play an important role in the coherence of duplex networks. The increasing larger linking weight and linking rate make the duplex networks more consensus. In addition, the positively, negatively and randomly correlated linking patterns display diverse consensus behaviors in duplex networks with different interlayer connections. Finally, the linking pattern under the eigenvector centrality has a profound impact on the coherence in the constructed duplex networks. The obtained results of duplex networks may help with a deeper understanding of consensus in multilayer networks.

Abstract:
Real networks interact with each other by different kinds of topological connections, which are usually demonstrated by linking nodes of different networks. Simple connection, such as one-to-one corresponding, random connection and similar connection are adopted for studying the interacted networks. Practical interrelations established between the two networks are ignored. In this study, a generalized framework of multi-subnet composited complex network that allowed us to investigate interrelations among several subnets is developed. Based on that, reorganizations of networks: compounding (compound subnets into a "bigger" one) and reducing (obtain a "smaller" network from a "bigger" one) are proposed. As an empirical evidence, influence of compounding on traffic dynamics is discussed. And the properties of nodes linking two networks are also considered. Onset of compounding between two networks is revealed. Numerical simulations on artificial networks as well as real bus and tube networks of Qingdao in China agree well with our analysis, which show validity of our model.

Abstract:
Human behavior refers to the way humans act and interact. Understanding human behavior is a cornerstone of observational practice, especially in psychotherapy. An important cue of behavior analysis is the dynamical changes of emotions during the conversation. Domain experts integrate emotional information in a highly nonlinear manner; thus, it is challenging to explicitly quantify the relationship between emotions and behaviors. In this work, we employ deep transfer learning to analyze their inferential capacity and contextual importance. We first train a network to quantify emotions from acoustic signals and then use information from the emotion recognition network as features for behavior recognition. We treat this emotion-related information as behavioral primitives and further train higher level layers towards behavior quantification. Through our analysis, we find that emotion-related information is an important cue for behavior recognition. Further, we investigate the importance of emotional-context in the expression of behavior by constraining (or not) the neural networks’ contextual view of the data. This demonstrates that the sequence of emotions is critical in behavior expression. To achieve these frameworks we employ hybrid architectures of convolutional networks and recurrent networks to extract emotion-related behavior primitives and facilitate automatic behavior recognition from speech.

Abstract:
This paper examines the appropriation of IT-based innovations within firms. It argues that such innovations represent a challenge to the tendency in the existing literature towards the analytical separation of diffusion and implementation as distinct theoretical domains. In contrast, this paper develops a more transcendent analysis of such innovations by focusing on the cognitive translations and appropriations which link idea generation, diffusion and implementation. This analysis identifies the processes linking wider inter-organisational diffusion networks and intra-firm distributions of expertise as playing a crucial role in the appropriation of innovation. We refer to these as processes of articulation: a formulation which leads to a reappraisal of the networking activities of boundary-spanning individuals.

Abstract:
The Erdös–Rényi classical random graph is characterized by a fixed linking probability for all pairs of vertices. Here, this concept is generalized by drawing the linking probability from a certain distribution. Such a procedure is found to lead to a static complex network with an arbitrary connectivity distribution. In particular, a scale-free network with the hierarchical organization is constructed without assuming any knowledge about the global linking structure, in contrast to the preferential attachment rule for a growing network. The hierarchical and mixing properties of the static scale-free network thus constructed are studied. The present approach establishes a bridge between a scalar characterization of individual vertices and topology of an emerging complex network. The result may offer a clue for understanding the origin of a few abundance of connectivity distributions in a wide variety of static real-world networks.

Full text
Abstract:
The recent discovery of an intricate and nontrivial interaction topology among the elements of a wide range of natural systems has altered the manner we understand complexity. For example, the axonal fibres transmitting electrical information between cortical regions form a network which is neither regular nor completely random. Their structure seems to follow functional principles to balance between segregation (functional specialisation) and integration. Cortical regions are clustered into modules specialised in processing different kinds of information, e.g. visual or auditory. However, in order to generate a global perception of the real world, the brain needs to integrate the distinct types of information. Where this integration happens, nobody knows. We have performed an extensive and detailed graph theoretical analysis of the cortico-cortical organisation in the brain of cats, trying to relate the individual and collective topological properties of the cortical areas to their function. We conclude that the cortex possesses a very rich communication structure, composed of a mixture of parallel and serial processing paths capable of accommodating dynamical processes with a wide variety of time scales. The communication paths between the sensory systems are not random, but largely mediated by a small set of areas. Far from acting as mere transmitters of information, these central areas are densely connected to each other, strongly indicating their functional role as integrators of the multisensory information. In the quest of uncovering the structure-function relationship of cortical networks, the peculiarities of this network have led us to continuously reconsider the stablished graph measures. For example, a normalised formalism to identify the “functional roles” of vertices in networks with community structure is proposed. The tools developed for this purpose open the door to novel community detection techniques which may also characterise the overlap between modules. The concept of integration has been revisited and adapted to the necessities of the network under study. Additionally, analytical and numerical methods have been introduced to facilitate understanding of the complicated statistical interrelations between the distinct network measures. These methods are helpful to construct new significance tests which may help to discriminate the relevant properties of real networks from side-effects of the evolutionary-growth processes.
Die jüngste Entdeckung einer komplexen und nicht-trivialen Interaktionstopologie zwischen den Elementen einer großen Anzahl natürlicher Systeme hat die Art und Weise verändert, wie wir Komplexität verstehen. So bilden zum Beispiel die Nervenfasern, welche Informationen zwischen Regionen des Kortex übermitteln, ein Netzwerk, das weder vollkommen regelmäßig noch völlig zufallig ist. Die Struktur dieser Netzwerke scheint Funktionsprinzipien zu folgen, die ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Segregation (funktionale Spezialisierung) und Integration (Verarbeitung von Informationen) halten. Die Regionen des Kortex sind in Module gegliedert, welche auf die Verarbeitung unterschiedlicher Arten von Informationen, wie beispielsweise Visuelle oder Auditive, spezialisiert sind. Um eine umfassende Vorstellung von der Realität zu erzeugen, muss das Gehirn verschiedene Informationsarten kombinieren (integrieren). Wo diese Integration jedoch geschieht, ist noch ungeklärt. In dieser Dissertation wurde eine weitreichende und detaillierte graphen- theoretische Analyse der kortiko-kortikalen Organisation des Katzengehirns durchgeführt. Dabei wurde der Versuch unternommen, individuelle sowie kollektive topologische Eigenschaften der Kortexareale zu ihrer Funktion in Beziehung zu setzen. Aus der Untersuchung wird geschlussfolgert, dass der Kortex eine äußerst reichhaltige Kommunikationsstruktur aufweist, die aus einer Mischung von parallelen und seriellen übertragungsbahnen besteht, die es ermöglichen dynamische Prozesse auf vielen verschiedenen Zeitskalen zu tragen. Die Kommunikationsbahnen zwischen den sensorischen Systemen sind nicht zufällig verteilt, sondern verlaufen fast alle durch eine geringe Anzahl von Arealen. Diese zentralen Areale agieren nicht allein als übermittler von Informationen. Sie sind dicht untereinander verbunden, was auf ihre Funktion als Integrator hinweist. Bei der Analyse der Struktur-Funktions-Beziehungen kortikaler Netzwerke wurden unter Berucksichtigung der Besonderheiten des untersuchten Netzwerkes die bisher verwandten Graphenmaße überdacht und zum Teil überarbeitet. So wurde beispielsweise ein normalisierter Formalismus vorgeschlagen, um die funktionalen Rollen der Knoten in Netzwerken mit einer Community-Struktur zu identifizieren. Die für diesen Zweck entwickelten Werkzeuge ermöglichen neue Methoden zur Erkennung dieser Strukturen, die möglicherweise auch die überlappung von Modulen beschreiben. Das Konzept der Integration wurde revidiert und den Bedürfnissen des untersuchten Netzwerkes angepasst. Außerdem wurden analytische und numerische Methoden eingeführt, um das Verständnis des komplizierten statistischen Zusammenhangs zwischen den verschiedenen Netzwerkmaßen zu erleichtern. Diese Methoden sind hilfreich für die Konstruktion neuer Signifikanztests, die relevante Eigenschaften realer Netzwerke von Nebeneffekten ihrer evolutionären Wachstumsprozesse unterscheiden können.

The technologies used for flight test are evolving. Trusted standards like CAIS and IRIG106 PCM are giving way to new “trusted standards” (and proven technologies/protocols) found in telecommunication and networking such as Ethernet, fiber channel, TCP/IP, UDP, ATM and so on. Currently there is $100Ms+ invested in CAIS and IRIG compliant equipment in the world. A key challenge in this evolution is to provide a reliable solution that allows the FTI engineer to immediately take advantage of these advanced technologies while protecting prior investment in equipment, knowledge, and resources during this transition. This paper presents an analysis of how to protect existing assets while still leveraging the power of the latest technologies. It looks at the characteristics of a “bridge” system, and suggests solutions for merging and linking data from and to different transmission protocols using data synchronization and deterministic data management cycles.

Abstract:
The host immune response against infection requires the coordinated action of many diverse cell subsets that dynamically adapt to a pathogen threat. Due to the complexity of such a response, most immunological studies have focused on a few genes, proteins, or cell types. With the development of “omic”-technologies and computational analysis methods, attempts to analyse and understand complex system dynamics are now feasible. However, the decomposition of transcriptomic data sets generated from complete organs remains a major challenge. Here, we combined Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA) and Digital Cell Quantifier (DCQ) to analyse time-resolved mouse splenic transcriptomes in acute and chronic Lymphocytic Choriomeningitis Virus (LCMV) infections. This enabled us to generate hypotheses about complex immune functioning after a virus-induced perturbation. This strategy was validated by successfully predicting several known immune phenomena, such as effector cytotoxic T lymphocyte (CTL) expansion and exhaustion. Furthermore, we predicted and subsequently verified experimentally that virus-specific CD8+ T cells with an early effector transcriptome profile participate in the host adaptation to an overwhelming virus threat. Thus, the linking of gene expression changes with immune cell kinetics provides novel insights into the complex immune processes within infected tissues.
La respuesta inmune del huésped contra una infección requiere la acción coordinada de varios tipos de células que, de forma dinámica, se adapta a la amenaza del patógeno. Debido a la complejidad de dicha respuesta, la mayoría de los estudios inmunológicos se han centrado en pocos genes, proteínas o en células específicas. Con el desarrollo de tecnologías "ómicas" y métodos de análisis computacionales, los intentos de analizar y comprender sistemas complejos ahora son más factibles. Sin embargo, la descomposición de datos de transcriptomas, generados a partir de órganos completos sigue siendo un desafío importante. Aquí he combinado Weighted Gene Coexpression Network Analysis (WGCNA) y Digital Cell Quantifier (DCQ) para analizar los perfiles transcriptómicos de bazos de ratón, a diferentes tiempos, durante la infección aguda y crónica por el virus de la Coriomeningitis Linfocítica Aguda (LCMV). Este método nos ha permitido generar hipótesis sobre funcionamiento del complejo sistema inmune después de una perturbación inducida por el virus. Esta estrategia fue validada al predecir con éxito varios fenómenos inmunes conocidos, como la expansión de los linfocitos T citotóxicos (CTL) y el fenómeno conocido como agotamiento. Además, he predicho y posteriormente verificado de forma experimental que las células efectoras T CD8+ específicas de virus, con un perfil de transcriptoma efector temprano, participan en la adaptación a la amenaza del virus. Por lo tanto, la conexión entre la expresión de genes y la cinética de las células del sistema inmune, proporciona nuevos conocimientos sobre los complejos procesos inmunes en tejidos infectados.

Abstract:
This study reveals the potential for urban design where multi-modal transportation corridors intersect. An overarching challenge to urban design and planning relates to the impact mobility has on the social, environmental, and economic health of America's cities, including Indianapolis. In response to this challenge, this study explores transit-oriented development, a strategy based on the principle that transportation and land use are closely related and should therefore be planned in coordination, as a viable alternative to current practices that force transportation to follow rather than inspire and enhance development.Two primary phases constitute the study. The first introduces the principles of transit-oriented development. This phase also highlights some of the urban design opportunities that stem from this alternative strategy and examines and evaluates how effectively transit-oriented development principles work in various American cities.The second phase explores how these principles may be applied to the city of Indianapolis and demonstrates how one site within the city can serve as a model for coordinating various modes of transportation with adjacent land use. This phase consists of selecting a demonstration site within the city, researching the existing and historical make-up of the site, and developing a master plan for the site. The master plan is based on two primary goals-to create a safe and efficient transportation node and to create a unique and vibrant urban "place" that functions as both an origin and a destination.

Abstract:
Dominant ‘society centred’ interpretations of social capital in Australia are inadequate to explain the economic fortunes and social prosperity of rural Australian communities. Given the continued contention over interpretations and measurement of social capital, this research sought to assess the relationship between different interpretations of social capital and rural communities’ resilience and prosperity. ¶ Utilising both quantitative and qualitative techniques to establish the relative levels of social capital in two communities of divergent growth, the primary objective was to test the association asserted between levels of social capital and prosperity and resilience in the rural Australian context. ¶ The research findings highlight three notable issues. Surveying social capital with current instruments is only effective in establishing the well being of rural communities which appears related to their resilience, not their ability to prosper. Secondly, the operational frameworks and responsibilities for social capital adopted by governments dictate the manner in, and degree to which they deem bridging and linking networks necessary and appropriate. This significantly affects the role social capital is perceived to play in communities. Lastly, while interpretations of social capital regard it as a normative factor in social life, rather than being comprised of different and dynamic elements affecting communities’ ability to prosper, the concept will remain unable to effectively contribute to the policy domain.

Abstract:
With the global population becoming more urban and less rural, increasingly research has argued for concepts such as establish Green Infrastructure (GI) as a tool for enhancing wildlife survival and human’s living quality (e.g. Harrison et al., 1995; Benedict and McMahon, 2006). However, an interdisciplinary planning approach underpinned by ecological and social evidence has not yet been fully developed. This research therefore seeks to integrate an ecological network with a green space planning standard by exploring the use of biotope and sociotope mapping methods. Seeking a comprehensive planning that takes all green resources into account, a green space typology is firstly developed according to Taiwanese contexts for identifying green spaces from land use maps. In order to specify effective features of these green spaces to bird survival and user preferences, an insight was conducted into the relationship of ‘birds and urban habitats’, as well as ‘human preferred urban green spaces’ in Taipei City. Important environmental factors influencing bird distribution and influencing human experiences in urban green spaces are respectively specified and developed into an ecological value index (EVI) to detail potential habitats and a social value index (SVI) to evaluate recreational green space provision. Interestingly, proximity to green space appears to plays a more critical role in human preferences than bird survival in Taipei city; size is important both as a habitat and for creating an attractive green space; and green space quality tends to be a more significant factor than its structure for both wildlife and people. Utilising the bio-sociotope maps, this thesis argues for a number of strategies: conserving, enlarging, or creating large green spaces in green space deficient areas; increasing ecological and recreational value by enhancing green space quality of specific characteristics; and tackling gravity distance by combining green space accessibility and attractiveness in optimising urban green structure. As these suggestions are a challenge to apply in intensively developed urban areas, barriers from land use, political mechanisms, technical shortages, and cultural characteristics are also explored with possible resolutions presented for facilitating implementation. It is clear that optimising a multifunctional GI for both wildlife and people requires interdisciplinary knowledge and cooperation from various fields. The EVI and SVI developed within this thesis create the potential for a more place-specific and quantifiable green spaces strategy to help better link ecological and social functions in urban areas.

Abstract:
This research produces a deeper understanding of the transition of district nursing from nineteenth century voluntarism to the twentieth century welfare state, with particular emphasis on Leicester within the context of the national scene from 1866 to 1974. The thesis takes Leicester as an example of urban society to explore the collective attributes, networks of expertise and the initiatives that promoted the development of a district nursing service for the sick in their own homes. The evidence shows the challenges presented by limited human and financial resources; reveals the range of skills and responsibilities practised by district nurse; traces the course of professionalization through the adoption of national standards; sets out the biographical characteristics and career rhythms of Queen's Nurses, a sub-set of district nursing; and highlights the contribution made by district nursing to the empowerment of women. The study exposes the shifting and often contradictory attitudes of society towards district nursing. District nursing was most valued by the recipients of care and by people closest to the service in the community; it was least valued by those who were not in direct contact with district nurses and had little appreciation of the expertise involved. A most telling finding was the attitude of the government and the extent to which that attitude threatened the development of district nursing through a lack of recognition of the skills and responsibilities involved. The research shows that throughout the three phases of transition, 1866 - 1908, 1909 - 47, and 1948 - 74, district nursing rose above constraints and hostile policies to build on the traditions and values that lay at its core. The evidence makes a contribution to social policy and the social history of health care in Britain, and points to significant issues for future research and social policy decisions.

Today’s dynamic and increasingly competitive market had expanded complexities for global businesses pressuring companies to start leveraging on Big Data solutions in order to sustain the global competitions by becoming more data-driven in managing their supply chains.The main purpose of this study is twofold, 1) to explore the implications of applying analytics designing supply chain networks, 2) to investigate the link between operational and strategic management levels when making strategic decisions using Analytics.Qualitative methods have been applied for this study to gain a greater understanding of the Supply Chain Analytics phenomenon. An inductive approach in form of interviews, was performed in order to gain new empirical data. Fifteen semi-structured interviews were conducted with professional individuals who hold managerial roles such as project managers, consultants, and end-users within the fields of Supply Chain Management and Big Data Analytics. The received empirical information was later analyzed using the thematic analysis method.The main findings in this thesis relatively contradicts with previous studies and existing literature in terms of connotations, definitions and applications of the three main types of Analytics. Furthermore, the findings present new approaches and perspectives that advanced analytics apply on both strategic and operational management levels that are shaping supply chain network designs.

Abstract:
As part of an inspection, bridge inspectors assign condition ratings to the main components of a bridge’s structural system and identify any defects that they observe. Condition ratings are necessarily somewhat subjective, as they are influenced by the experience of the inspectors. In the current work, procedures were developed for making inferences on the reliability of reinforced concrete girders with defects at both the cross section and the girder level. The Bayesian network (BN) tools constructed in this work use simple structural m echanics to model the capacity of girders. By using expert elicitation, defects observed during inspection are correlated with underlying deterioration mechanisms. By linking these deterioration mechanisms with reductions in mechanical properties, inferences on the reliability of a bridge can be made based on visual observation of defects. With more development, this BN tool can be used to compare conditions of bridges relative to one another and aid in the prioritization of repairs. However, an extensive survey of bridges affected by deterioration mechanisms is needed to confidently establish valid relationships between deterioration severity and mechanical properties.
