Q-analysis and the structure of friendship networkst
نویسنده
چکیده
The present paper is concerned with exploring some problems in analyzing the structure of friendship choices. The data come from a sociometric study of the impact of a computer conference on affective ties among some social scientists and mathematicians. They have been repor ted elsewhere (L. Freeman & S. Freeman, 1979; S. Freeman & L. Freeman, 1979). The analytic devices that will be brought to bear here were suggested by the work of an algebraic topologist, R. H. Atkin (Atkin, 1974). The specific problem to be explored is the degree to which some of the mathematical formalisms suggested by Atkin can help to reveal important structural properties of this set of sociometric data on friendship choice.

متن کاملNovel Axial Flux Brushless Resolver Analysis and Optimization Using 3D Finite Element and d-q Model Method
Resolvers are widely used in electric driven systems especially in high precision servomechanisms. Both encapsulated and pancake resolvers suffer from a major drawback: static eccentricity (SE). This drawback causes a significant increase in resolver output position error (RPE) which could not be corrected electronically. To reduce RPE, this paper proposes a novel structure with axial flux. Pr...
