Follow flee: A contingent mobility strategy for the spatial prisoner's dilemma
(Springer Verlag, 2016-08-10)
This paper presents results from a series of experimental simulations comparing the performances of mobile strategies of agents participating in the Spatial Prisoner's Dilemma game. The contingent movement strategies Walk ...
Carbon and nitrogen dynamics and greenhouse gas emissions in constructed wetlands treating wastewaters: a review
(2016-02-17)
The removal efficiency of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) in constructed wetlands (CWs) is very inconsistent and frequently does not reveal whether the removal processes are due to physical attenuation or whether the different ...
An analysis of online Twitter sentiment surrounding the European refugee crisis
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
Using existing natural language and sentiment analysis techniques, this study explores different dimensions of mood states of tweet content relating to the refugee crisis in Europe. The study has two main goals. The first ...
Cyclic dominance in the spatial coevolutionary optional prisoner's dilemma game
(CEUR-WS.org, 2016-09-20)
This paper studies scenarios of cyclic dominance in a coevolutionary
spatial model in which game strategies and links between
agents adaptively evolve over time. The Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma
(OPD) game is employed. ...
An evolutionary approach to formation control with mobile robots
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)
The field of swarm robotics studies multi-robot systems, emphasising decentralised and self-organising behaviours that deal with limited individual abilities, local sensing and local communication. A robotic system needs ...
A combined wear-fatigue design methodology for fretting in the pressure armour layer of flexible marine risers
(Elsevier, 2016-10-20)
This paper presents a combined experimental and computational methodology for fretting wear-fatigue prediction of pressure armour wire in flexible marine risers. Fretting wear, friction and fatigue parameters of pressure ...
Performance of novel media in stratified filters to remove organic carbon from lake water
(IWA Publishing, 2016-08-15)
Disinfection by-products (DBPs) are an ever-increasing occurrence in water networks, particularly those which abstract water from peatland areas. Although much research has been carried out to discover novel methods to ...
Challenges for semantically driven collaborative spaces
(Springer, 2016)
Linked Data initiatives have fostered the publication of more
than one thousand of datasets in the Linking Open Data (LOD) cloud
from a large variety of domains, e.g., Life Sciences, Media, and Government.
Albeit large ...
Comparison of high temperature chars of wheat straw and rice husk with respect to chemistry, morphology and reactivity
(Elsevier, 2016-03-02)
Fast pyrolysis of wheat straw and rice husk was carried out in an entrained flow reactor at high-temperatures (1000–1500) °C. The collected char was analyzed using X-ray diffractometry, N2-adsorption, scanning electron ...
Microplastics in sewage sludge: effects of treatment
(American Chemical Society, 2016-12-12)
Waste Water Treatment Plants (WWTPs) are receptors for the cumulative loading of microplastics (MPs) derived from industry, landfill, domestic waste water and storm water. The partitioning of MPs through the settlement ...
