What is the role of social networks in driving persistent differences between races and genders in education and labor market outcomes? What is the role of homophily in such differences? Why is such homophily seen even if it ends up with negative consequences in terms of labor markets? This chapter discusses social network analysis from the perspective of economics. The chapter is organized around the theme of externalities: the effects that one’s behavior has on others’ welfare. Externalities underlie the interdependencies that make networks interesting to social scientists. This chapter discusses network formation, as well as interactions between people’s behaviors within a given network, and the implications in a variety of settings. Finally, the chapter highlights some empirical challenges inherent in the statistical analysis of network-based data.

Bone marrow stem cells, especially, endothelial precursor cells (EPC), mesenchymal stem cells (MSC) or hematopoietic stem cell (HSC) are expected as reparative cells for the repair of a variety of tissue damages such as stroke and myocardial infarction, even though their role in the repair is not demonstrated. This report was investigated to find a role of Substance-p (SP) as a reparative agent in the tissue repair requiring EPC and MSC. In order to examine EPC (EPC SP ) and MSC (MSC SP ) mobilized by SP, we injected SP intravenously for consecutive 2 days and saline was injected as a vehicle. At 3 post injection, peripheral blood (PB) was collected.To get mesenchymal stem cells or endothelial progenitor cells, MNCs were incubated in MSCGM or EGM-2 respectively for 10 days. Functional characteristics of the EPC SP were proven by the capacity to form endothelial tubule network in the matrigel in vitro and in the matrigel plug assay in vivo. In contrast, MSC SP did not form a tube-like structure but formed a pellet-structure on matrigel. However, when both cells were premixed before the matrigel assay, much longer and branched tubular network was formed, in which a-SMA expressing MSC SP were decorating outside of the endothelial tube, especially enriched at the bifurcating point. MSC SP may contribute and reinforce elaborate vascular network formation in vivo by working as pericyte-like cells. Thus, the EPC SP and MSC SP were labeled with PKH green and PKH red respectively and their tubular network was examined. Well organized tubular network was formed, which was covered by PKH green labeled cells and was decorated in a punctate pattern by PKH red labeled cells. In order to investigate the role of EPC SP and MSC SP specifically in vivo, rabbit EPC SP and MSC SP were transplanted to full thickness skin wound. The vessel of EPC SP -transplanted groups was UEA-lectin+, which was not covered with a-SMA+ pericytes but EPC SP + MSC SP -transplanted groups showed, in part, a-SMA+ pericyte-encircled UEA-lectin+ vessels. This proved the specific role of MSC SP as pericytes. From these data, we have postulated that the collaboration of MSC and EPC is essential for normal vessel structure and furthermore, accelerated wound healing as ischemia diseases, which can be stimulated through by SP injection.

Can smart containment policies crowd out private efforts at social distancing? We analyse this question from the perspective of network formation theory. We focus in particular on the role of externalities in social distancing choices. We also look at how these choices are affected by factors such as the agents’ risk perception, the speed of the policy intervention, the structure of the underlying network and the presence of strategic complementarities. We argue that crowding out is a problem when the probability that an outbreak may spread undetected is relatively high (either because testing is too infrequent or because tests are highly inaccurate). This is also the case where the choice of relaxing social distancing generates the largest negative externalities. Simulations on a real-world network suggest that crowding out is more likely to occur when, in the absence of interventions, face-to-face contacts are perceived to carry relatively high risk.

Though the non-rubber components have long been recognized to be a vital factor affecting the network of natural rubber (NR), the authentic role of non-rubber components on the network during accelerated storage has not been fully illuminated. This work attempts to clarify the impact of non-rubber components on the network for NR during accelerated storage. A natural network model for NR was proposed based on the gel content, crosslinking density, and the non-rubber components distribution for NR before and after centrifugation. Furthermore, the effect of non-rubber components on the network was investigated during accelerated storage. The results show that terminal crosslinking induced by non-rubber components and entanglements are primary factors affecting the network formation during accelerated storage. By applying the tube model to analyze the stress-strain curves of NR, we found that the contribution of the entanglements to the network formation is larger than that of terminal crosslinking during accelerated storage. The work highlights the role of non-rubber components on the network during accelerated storage, which is essential for understanding the storage hardening mechanism of NR.
