Community Structure in Online Collegiate Social Networks (2008)
Traud, Amanda L., Kelsic, Eric D., Mucha, Peter J., Porter, Mason A.
We apply the tools of network analysis to study the roles of university organizations and affiliations in structuring the social networks of students by examining the graphs of Facebook "friendships"...
Community Structure in Congressional Cosponsorship Networks (2007)
Zhang, Yan, Friend, A. J., Traud, Amanda L., Porter, Mason A., Fowler, James H., Mucha, Peter J.
We study the United States Congress by constructing networks between Members of Congress based on the legislation that they cosponsor. Using the concept of modularity, we identify the community...
Community structure in the U.S. House of Representatives (2006)
Porter, Mason A., Friend, A. J., Mucha, Peter J., Newman, M. E. J.
Studies like these indicate that network theory can be of substantial use in uncovering collaborative structure in political bodies such as the U.S. Congress, without requiring input in the form of...
Community Structure in the United States House of Representatives (2006)
Porter, Mason A., Mucha, Peter J., Newman, M. E. J., Friend, A. J.
We investigate the networks of committee and subcommittee assignments in the United States House of Representatives from the 101st--108th Congresses, with the committees connected by ``interlocks''...
A network analysis of committees in the United States House of Representatives (2005)
Porter, Mason A., Mucha, Peter J., Newman, M. E. J., Warmbrand, Casey M.
Network theory provides a powerful tool for the representation and analysis of complex systems of interacting agents. Here we investigate the United States House of Representatives network of...
Rigid Fluid: Animating the Interplay Between Rigid Bodies and Fluid (2004)
Mark Carlson, Peter J. Mucha, Greg Turk
We present the Rigid Fluid method, a technique for animating the interplay between rigid bodies and viscous incompressible fluid with free surfaces. We use distributed Lagrange multipliers to ensure...
The Bowl Championship Series: A Mathematical Review (2004)
Callaghan, Thomas, Mucha, Peter J., Porter, Mason A.
We discuss individual components of the college football Bowl Championship Series, compare with a simple algorithm defined by random walks on a biased graph, attempt to predict whether the proposed...
Random Walker Ranking for NCAA Division I-A Football (2003)
Callaghan, Thomas, Mucha, Peter J., Porter, Mason A.
Each December, college football fans and pundits across America debate which two teams should meet in the NCAA Division I-A National Championship game. The Bowl Championship Series (BCS) standings...
A Stokes Flow Boundary Integral Measurement Of Tubular Structure (2003)
Marc Niethammer, Eric Pichon, Allen Tannenbaum, Peter J. Mucha
In this paper we will develop a method to determine cross sections of arbitrary two-dimensional tubular structures, which are allowed to branch, by means of a Stokes flow based boundary integral...
Mark Carlson, Peter J. Mucha, R. Brooks, Van Horn Iii, Greg Turk
We present a fast and stable system for animating materials that melt, flow, and solidify. Examples of real-world materials that exhibit these phenomena include melting candles, lava flow, the...
