An inference score is computed using principles of scale-free networks, where the probability (P) that a vertex in a large network interacts with another vertex decays according to a power law (Barabasi and Albert 1999).
Though these recent studies, made up primarily of case studies, literature reviews and interviews with policy makers and practitioners [ 6, 11, 12, 16] describe principles of scaling up of health interventions, none have specifically examined how scaling up decision processes actually occur in the real world using respondents actively involved in population health scaling up decision processes.
The same principle of scale could be applied to many of the tweets we received.
The principle of scale analysis is used to determine both the short and long time asymptotic behaviour.
Based on the principle of scale compatibility of modeling data, an open reading frame was designed for the dynamic daily input of meteorological data and output of rice development and yield records.
In this blog post I am going to outline in a clear and concise way a plan to apply the principle of scale to solve the world water crisis.
At the global scale and in the broadest sense environmental management involves the oceans, freshwater systems, land and atmosphere, but following the sustainability principle of scale it can be equally applied to any ecosystem from a tropical rainforest to a home garden.
By the same token, Luis Bettencourt and Geoffrey West apply the principle of "scaling" to find correlations between urban metrics and socio-economic systems, and the size of cities, claiming that the understanding of cities' dynamics, growth and evolution in a scientifically predictable, quantitative way is crucial in city planning [6].
