Beyond such crude 'eyeballing' of the network, there exist tools to (i) filter out the most essential structure in the network [7] [9], (ii) identify important central nodes, (iii) quantify the hierarchical structure [10], [11], (iv) identify important patterns or paths in the network [4], and (v) identify clusters of nodes [12], [13].
The result is a hollowing out of democracy, where actual power shrinks to a tight core at the centre and government loses control of some of the most essential services and structures in our society, so that elections makes less and less difference to citizens and their wellbeing.
The compatibility or conflict among these various alternatives and different accounts of explanation in biology is not yet known (but see Bechtel 2006, 40 44), but the traditional philosophical project of articulating a single notion of reduction to capture most essential aspects of theory structure and explanation across biology is unlikely to succeed.
As the scaffolding surrounds the most essential elements of the structure it evokes connections to security, age, and preciousness.
Closely-spaced piles are the most essential components for the structural safety of some types of coastal and offshore structures.
The most essential results were acquired from the structures of phlebovirus-encoded NPs.
Knowledge on functions of proteins can be provided by information about their tertiary structure; hence, determining this structure is among the most essential objectives in molecular biology, cell biology, proteomics and bioinformatics.
The chloride penetration resistance of mortar and concrete is one of the most essential aspects concerning the durability of concrete structures.
The prediction of crystal structures is one of the most essential challenges in designing novel functional materials.
In so structuring the conversation on this most essential of life events, we're doing everyone a disservice.
