Simulation of an optional strategy in the prisoner’s dilemma in spatial and non-spatial environments
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)This paper presents research comparing the effects of different environments on the outcome of an extended Prisoner's Dilemma, in which agents have the option to abstain from playing the game. We consider three different ... -
Species mixing proportion and aridity influence in the height–diameter relationship for different species mixtures in Mediterranean forests
(MDPI, 2022-01-14)Estimating tree height is essential for modelling and managing both pure and mixed forest stands. Although height–diameter (H–D) relationships have been traditionally fitted for pure stands, attention must be paid when ... -
A survey of recent trends in one class classification
(Springer Verlag - LNAI, 2009-08)The One Class Classification (OCC) problem is di fferent from the conventional binary/multi-class classi fication problem in the sense that in OCC, the negative class is either not present or not properly sampled. The ... -
A system dynamics approach to increasing ocean literacy
(Frontiers Media, 2019-06-28)Ocean Literacy (OL) has multiple aspects or dimensions: from knowledge about how the oceans work and our impact on them, to attitudes toward topics such as sustainable fisheries, and our behaviour as consumers, tourists, ... -
A system dynamics approach to sustainability education
(Wiley, 2021-01-14)This article describes a randomised controlled trial (RCT) study design to evaluate an innovative online tool to support education for sustainable development (ESD). The learning tool incorporates Systems Thinking and ... -
System dynamics modelling to support policy analysis for sustainable health care
(2014)System dynamics (SD) is an established simulation methodology used to explore the behaviour of social systems over time. The field has addressed challenging sustainability problems in fisheries, urban planning and environmental ... -
The wave excitation forces on a truncated vertical cylinder in water of infinite depth
(2013)When carrying out any numerical modelling it is useful to have an analytical approximation available to provide a check on the accuracy of the numerical results and to give insight into the underlying physics of the system. ... -
When and why metaheuristics researchers can ignore “No Free Lunch” theorems
(Springer, 2019-03-25)The No Free Lunch (NFL) theorem for search and optimisation states that averaged across all possible objective functions on a fixed search space, all search algorithms perform equally well. Several refined versions of the ...
