چکیده
Economy, and consequently trade, is a fundamental part of human social organization which, until now, has not been studied within the network modelling framework. Networks are mathematical tools used in the modelling of a wide variety of systems in social and natural science. Examples of these networks range from metabolic and cell networks to technological webs. Here we present the first empirical characterization of the world trade web, that is, the network built upon the trade relationships between different countries in the world. This network displays the typical properties of complex networks, namely, scale-free degree distribution, the small world property, a high clustering coefficient and, in addition, degree-degree correlation between different vertices. All these properties make the world trade web a complex network, which is far from being well-described through a classical random network description.

We show that the Kervaire invariant one elements θj ∈ π2j+2−2S 0 exist only for j ≤ 6. By Browder’s Theorem, this means that smooth framed manifolds of Kervaire invariant one exist only in dimensions 2, 6, 14, 30, 62, and possibly 126. Except for dimension 126 this resolves a longstanding problem in algebraic topology.

Equally it is not unusual to come across door-to-door sale agents working in couples rather than on an individual basis. In democratic electoral campaigns, small groups (typically couples) of political party activists may visit, door-to-door, potential electors and seek to gain their votes. Trade union movements often try to coordinate their actions in order to strengthen their position against...

Superfluid 3 He-A has domain-wall like structures, which are called solitons. We calculate numerically the structure of a splay soliton and study its effect on the NMR spectrum by calculating the frequency and the amplitude of the soliton peaks. We compare the results with experiments and discuss their implications on the basic parameters of 3 He.
