Comment on “Control profiles ofcomplex networks” Colin Campbell, Katriona Shea, Réka Albert ■ Ruths and Ruths (Reports, 21 March2014, p. 1373) find that existing syntheticrandom network models fail to generatecontrol profiles that match those found inreal network models. Here, we show that astraightforward extension to the Barabási-Albert model allows the control pro...

Brownian Motion in Dire Straits

The passage of Brownian motion through a bottleneck in a bounded domain is a rare event, and as the bottleneck radius shrinks to zero the mean time for such passage increases indefinitely. Its calculation reveals the effect of geometry and smoothness on the flux through the bottleneck. We find new behavior of the narrow escape time through bottlenecks in planar and spatial domains and on a surf...
