Self-Similarity in World Wide Web Traffic: Evidence and Possible Causes
, 1996
"... Recently the notion of self-similarity has been shown to apply to wide-area and local-area network traffic. In this paper we examine the mechanisms that give rise to the self-similarity of network traffic. We present a hypothesized explanation for the possible self-similarity of traffic by using a p ..."

Telepathy = Extraordinary Empathy andlor Overwhelming Charisma: The Possible World Model
"... Abstract- Telepathy is often dismissed because it is judged to be so weird as to be counterintuitive. This article argues that telepathy may be interpret-ed as phenomenologically impressive events of a social psychological process which in less dramatic instances would be termed empathy and charisma ..."

and charisma. Such an equation, herein called the "possible world model," would perhaps normalize telepathy, and lessen the opprobrium attached to its study. A first step is taken to validate the model when a comparative litera-ture search finds that telepathy and empathy relate very similarly
Graphs over Time: Densification Laws, Shrinking Diameters and Possible Explanations
, 2005
"... How do real graphs evolve over time? What are “normal” growth patterns in social, technological, and information networks? Many studies have discovered patterns in static graphs, identifying properties in a single snapshot of a large network, or in a very small number of snapshots; these include hea ..."

heavy tails for in- and out-degree distributions, communities, small-world phenomena, and others. However, given the lack of information about network evolution over long periods, it has been hard to convert these findings into statements about trends over time. Here we study a wide range of real graphs
On the Plurality of Worlds
, 1986
"... David Lewis is one of the most influential philosophers of our age, and On the Plurality of Worlds is his magnum opus. OPW1 offers an extended development and defense of the hypothesis that there are many universes, things of the same kind as the universe in which we all live, move, and have our bei ..."

being. Lewis calls these universes ―worlds‖, deliberately recalling the notion of a ―possible world ‖ familiar from modal logic and the metaphysics of modality. The title invokes the thesis of the book: there are pluralities of worlds, things of the same kind as the world we inhabit, differing only
The Small-World Phenomenon: An Algorithmic Perspective
- in Proceedings of the 32nd ACM Symposium on Theory of Computing
, 2000
"... Long a matter of folklore, the “small-world phenomenon ” — the principle that we are all linked by short chains of acquaintances — was inaugurated as an area of experimental study in the social sciences through the pioneering work of Stanley Milgram in the 1960’s. This work was among the first to m ..."

was formulated in recent work of Watts and Strogatz; their framework provided compelling evidence that the small-world phenomenon is pervasive in a range of networks arising in nature and technology, and a fundamental ingredient in the evolution of the World Wide Web. But existing models are insufficient
Time Varying World Market Integration
- JOURNAL OF FINANCE
, 1995
"... We propose a measure of capital market integration arising from a conditional regime-switching model. Our measure allows us to describe expected returns in countries that are segmented from world capital markets in one part of the sample and become integrated later in the sample. We find that a numb ..."

Reflectance and texture of real-world surfaces
- ACM TRANS. GRAPHICS
, 1999
"... In this work, we investigate the visual appearance of real-world surfaces and the dependence of appearance on scale, viewing direction and illumination direction. At ne scale, surface variations cause local intensity variation or image texture. The appearance of this texture depends on both illumina ..."

The Entity-Relationship Model: Toward a Unified View of Data

A special diagrammatic technique is introduced as a tool for database design. An example of database design and description using the model and th ..."
