Edge color constrained influence maximization in social networks by Chandra, Bhavya

“…However, simply selecting the most influential people does not maximize the spread as the content of a post dictates how likely a user will ‘share’ it. Thus, we show that it is not only imperative to select the top-k seed nodes but also the top-r most relevant topics in the network. …”

Metacognition facilitates Theory of Mind through optimal weighting of trait inferences by Long, EL, Catmur, C, Fleming, S, Bird, G

“…This effect was greater in magnitude with lower metacognitive sensitivity, i.e., when confidence is more likely to be misplaced. Furthermore, participants’ trait inference ability was associated with the accuracy of their understanding of the average mind. …”

The Pandemic EVIDENCE Collaboration Pillar 1: diagnostics and transmission by Conly, J, Plüddemann, A, Jefferson, T, Rosca, C, Heneghan, C

“…The transmission dynamics to allow for a replication-competent virus to move from a reservoir to a susceptible host and establish an invasive infection is complex and it is likely multiple modes of transmission exist from direct reservoir-to-host (contact, droplet deposition, transplacental) and indirect reservoir-to-intermediary-to- host (vehicle-borne, foodborne, waterborne, and airborne) routes. …”
