On the other side, the influence that a typical low-degree node has on communication is very limited, and for this reason the number of low-degree agents that must be selected to produce a clear control effect on the network is much higher than that in the previous case.
Specifically, for the case of high-degree nodes, driver agents are either 1 or 10% of the population [see Table 1 (High-degree agent selection)].
For low-degree nodes, driver agents are either 50% or 70% of the population [see Table 1 (Low-degree agent selection)].
number of time steps (max #ticks): (|K|= 100,000) Number of new random topics per driver agent (% over (T_i)): 30% Time interval of new random topic insertion (in #ticks): 1000 Network sizes Number of agents: (N= [100, 200, 500, 1000]) High-degree agent selection Number of driver agents (% over N): [1, 10%] Low-degree agent selection Number of driver agents (% over N): [50, 70%].
Hereafter the in/out-degree correlation can be roughly identified with parameter (alpha ) when (alpha in [0,1]) as an increase in such parameter corresponds with an increase in the similarity between the out-degree and in-degree of agents.
Employers now hire graduates for work that previously didn't require a degree: estate agents, police officers, nurses.
One recent afternoon, as the temperature in the Arizona desert hovered near 100 degrees, Border Patrol agents stationed inside a command center in Tucson were notified that a ground sensor had gone off.

Setting aside peculiarly moral reasons, common sense suggests that ordinary practical reasons exhibit a high degree of agent-relativity.
Average payoff smoothes out possible differences in the degrees of agents, and in several aspects may simulate real-world situations better than non-averaged payoff, since in real-world situations agents usually have to observe a cost of maintaining a contact with their neighbors [39] [41].
