The Web of Human Sexual Contacts

Fredrik Liljeros, +4 more
- 25 Jun 2001 - 
TL;DR: In this article, the authors analyze data on the sexual behavior of a random sample of individuals, and find that the cumulative distributions of the number of sexual partners during the twelve months prior to the survey decays as a power law with similar exponents for females and males.

COVID-19 lockdown induces disease-mitigating structural changes in mobility networks.

Frank Schlosser, +6 more

The scales of human mobility

Laura Alessandretti, +5 more
- 18 Nov 2020 - 
TL;DR: It is shown that day-to-day human mobility does indeed contain meaningful scales, corresponding to spatial 'containers' that restrict mobility behaviour, and a simple model is presented which given a person's trajectory-infers their neighbourhood, city and so on, as well as the sizes of these geographical containers.

Frequently Asked Questions (1)
Q1. What are the contributions mentioned in the paper "Human mobility: models and applications" ?

The study of human mobility is especially important for applications such as estimating migratory flows, traffic forecasting, urban planning, and epidemic modeling. In this survey, the authors review the approaches developed to reproduce various mobility patterns, with the main focus on recent developments. This review can be used both as an introduction to the fundamental modeling principles of human mobility, and as a collection of technical methods applicable to specific mobility-related problems.
