This cascade of affirmations indicates the centrality of emotions through what Collins (2004) termed an "interaction ritual chain" (p. 3).
In these days when increasing research is applied to complex networks (such as social networks), the use of quantities related to vertices, indicating the centrality (the importance of an actor in the network measured as a topological indicator) naturally leads researchers toward the mathematical study of these quantities.
This combined effect was attenuated by 350 ng/ml of the MAS0020 anti-ceramide antibody, which reduced the apoptosis induced by 5 Gy plus 0.2 µg/ml DC101 at 8 h from 32±2.3% to 13±1% (Figure 3C; p<0.001 vs. 5 Gy+DC101), indicating the centrality of ceramide in initiating radiation-induced apoptosis in BAEC.
Arguably, connectivity is a measure which indicates the centrality and importance of an enzyme in which case horizontally transferred genes should frequently be highly connected or be connected to highly connected enzymes.
The node colors indicated the eigen-value centrality, ranging from dark red for high centrality to dark blue for low centrality.
The size of the node indicates the betweenness centrality of that cluster within the graph.
(5) Formula (5) indicates the degree centrality of an undirected graph.
The results indicate that the centrality of Cod+ genes is lower than that of a reference set (n = 1811), as clearly shown in the case of degree centrality (one-tailed Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test (WMW), P = 0.037), ASPL (WMW, P = 0.01), and EVC (WMW, P = 0.006).
Also for each deleted vertex, we computed three local network metrics (local cluster coefficient, closeness centrality, betweenness centrality) to indicate the importance of the vertex within the previous network.
