In this note we confirm a conjecture raised by Benjamini et al. [BST13] on the acquaintance time of graphs, proving that for all graphs G with n vertices it holds that AC(G) = O(n3/2), which is tight up to a multiplicative constant. This is done by proving that for all graphs G with n vertices and maximal degree ∆ it holds that AC(G) ≤ 20∆n. Combining this with the bound AC(G) ≤ O(n2/∆) from [B...

Across two field studies of romantic attraction, we demonstrate that postural expansiveness makes humans more romantically appealing. In a field study (n = 144 speed-dates), we coded nonverbal behaviors associated with liking, love, and dominance. Postural expansiveness-expanding the body in physical space-was most predictive of attraction, with each one-unit increase in coded behavior from the...

Viruses utilize various means to circumvent the immune detection in the biological systems. Several mathematical models have been investigated for the description of viral dynamics in the biological system of human and various other species. One common strategy for evasion and recognition of viruses is, through acquaintance in the systems by means of search engines. In this perspective a search...

LimeLite is a new coordination model and middleware designed to support rapid development of applications entailing logical mobility of agents and physical mobility of hosts. Designed to function in open environments, LimeLite performs automatic agent discovery but filters the results to define for each agent an individualized acquaintance list in accordance with run-time policies specified at ...
