Acquiring the full global information is impractical, if feasible at all, in many networks with distributed operation and self-organization features. To meet scalability requirements practical protocol implementations could use local information instead, drawn from the nodes’ ego-networks, the Social Network Analysis (SNA) counterpart of centered graphs. However, in almost all these efforts the...

Balint's great merit was to question what, in the classical perspective, was assumed as a prerequisite for analysis and thus located beyond analysis: the maturity of the ego. A fundamental premise of his work was Ferenczi's distrust for the structural model, which praised the maturity of the ego and its verbal, social, and adaptive abilities. Ferenczi's view of ego maturation as a trauma deriva...

Our aim here is to address the problem of decomposing a whole network into a minimal number of ego–centered subnetworks. For this purpose, the network egos are picked out as the members of a minimum dominating set of the network. However, to find such an efficient dominating ego–centered construction, we need to be able to detect all the minimum dominating sets and to compare all the correspond...

Visual motion, such as radial optic flow, is an important cue for perceiving direction during ego-motion. Several previous studies have reported that the perceived speed of a radial optic flow is underestimated when the represented ego-motion direction between radial optic flow and non-visual (such as vestibular or/and proprioceptive) information is congruent. In the present study, we examined ...

the present research intends to understand the influence of manager’s perception of quality of work life and ego-strength on their organizational commitment. the study was carried out in different private and public organizations located in delhi. data were collected from 300 managers. analysis of the data was done using stepwise multiple regression analysis and t-test. results revealed that on...
