Universal Properties of Mythological Networks
TLDR
We analyse the networks underlying three iconic mythological narratives with a view to identifying common and distinguishing quantitative features. Expand

Network analysis of the Íslendinga sögur – the Sagas of Icelanders
TLDR
We perform a network analysis of the Íslendinga sögur in an attempt to gather quantitative information on interrelationships between characters. Expand

Managing research quality: critical mass and optimal academic research group size
TLDR
We use a simple, sociophysical, agent-based model to gain insight into the relationship between the strength of academic research groups and the researchers they contain and to investigate the optimal size of research groups in a number of academic disciplines. Expand

Temporal Network Analysis of Literary Texts
TLDR
We study temporal networks of characters in literature focussing on Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland (1865) by Lewis Carroll and the anonymous La Chanson de Roland. Expand

A quantitative approach to comparative mythology
A new, quantitative approach to comparative mythology is introduced using methods developed in theoretical physics. The broad concept of universality has long been relevant to comparative mythology,… Expand

The two-point resistance of a resistor network: A new formulation and application to the cobweb network
TLDR
We have re-visited the problem of the evaluation of two-point resistances in a resistor network L considered in [2], and re-formulated the evaluation in terms of the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of a cofactor of the Laplacian of L. Expand

THE KOSTERLITZ-THOULESS UNIVERSALITY CLASS
We examine the Kosterlitz-Thouless universality class and show that essential scaling at this type of phase transition is not self-consistent unless multiplicative logarithmic corrections are… Expand

The Strength of First and Second Order Phase Transitions from Partition Function Zeroes
We present a numerical technique employing the density of partition function zeroes (i) to distinguish between phase transitions of first and higher order, (ii) to examine the crossover between such… Expand

A generalised formulation of the Laplacian approach to resistor networks
An analytic approach is presented to developing exact expressions for the two-point resistance between arbitrary nodes on certain non-regular resistor networks. This generalises previous approaches,… Expand

Predicting results of the Research Excellence Framework using departmental h-index
TLDR
We compare estimates for past institutional research performances coming from two bibliometric indicators to the results of the UK’s Research Assessment Exercise which last took place in 2008. Expand
