We explore the importance of the disruption of network connectivity that occurs on account of attacking nodes that lie on many shortest paths in the network.
"While there were tremendous disruptions of networks and a lot of time spent by individuals to fix the problems and a loss of confidence by users in the Internet, there was not anything that was permanently destroyed.
In [5], the impact of disruption of railway networks on road networks, e.g., geographical distribution of people, is estimated through railway-network simulation under the assumption that the Tokyo metropolitan earthquake occurs.
Embryonic development is a highly coordinated set of processes that depend on hierarchies of signaling and gene regulatory networks, and the disruption of such networks may underlie many cases of chemically induced birth defects.
With a shift in balance towards networks, is there increased vulnerability to the disruption of those networks?
Methods to parse paracrine epithelial-stromal communication networks are a vital need in drug development, as disruption of these networks underlies diseases ranging from cancer to endometriosis.
The idea is that when a transcription factor is induced artificially within a gene network, the disruption of the network by the induction signifies a genes role in transcriptional regulation.
Sudden disruption of these networks could cause a surge of more violent, freelance pirate activity.
The primary injuries that result are contusions (bruising of the brain tissue), tearing of the tissue and blood vessels, bleeding, tissue shearing, and disruption of neuronal networks.
In all these areas, from the disruption of terror networks to victory in Iraq to the spread of freedom and hope in troubled regions, we need the support of our friends and allies.
