Betweenness centrality correlation in social networks

Scale-free (SF) networks exhibiting a power-law degree distribution can be grouped into the assortative, dissortative and neutral networks according to the behavior of the degree-degree correlation coefficient. Here we investigate the betweenness centrality (BC) correlation for each type of SF networks. While the BC-BC correlation coefficients behave similarly to the degree-degree correlation coefficients for the dissortative and neutral networks, the BC correlation is nontrivial for the assortative ones found mainly in social networks. The mean BC of neighbors of a vertex with BC $g_i$ is almost independent of $g_i$, implying that each person is surrounded by almost the same influential environments of people no matter how influential the person is.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figures, 1 tabl

Probing nucleon strangeness in phi electroproduction

We investigate $\phi$ meson electroproduction to probe the hidden strangeness content of the nucleon. We found that even a small amount of the $s\bar{s}$ admixture in the nucleon wavefunction can lead to a significant change in several double polarization asymmetries in $\phi$ electroproduction, which can be tested experimentally at current electron facilities.Comment: 3 pages, 1 figure (2 eps files), LaTeX2e with espcrc1.sty, Talk at the XVI International Conference on Few-Body Problems in Physics (FB16), Taipei, Taiwan, March 6-10, 200
