The response of scale-free networks with community structure to external stimuli is studied. By disturbing some nodes … with different strategies, it is shown that the robustness of this kind of network can be enhanced due to the existence of … communities in the networks. Some of the response patterns are found to coincide with topological communities. We show that such …

propose a generic time series based disturbance detection approach by modelling stable historical behaviour to enable … successfully detected in near real-time while being robust for seasonality and noise. Second, major drought related disturbance …

We investigated the capacity of a natural resource governance system to absorb a disturbance while maintaining its … the governance system, (2) the attributes of the disturbance and the reorganization process, and (3) human motivations … prevent transformations in their governance system.
