Observations on the shortest independent loop set algorithm
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-07-31)The shortest independent loop set (SILS) algorithm is a widely adopted loop selection method in eigenvalue elasticity analysis to identify dominant loops. However, we find that, in an individual-based model, the SILS cannot ... -
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(2008)Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification ... -
On the Classification Performance of TAN and General Bayesian Networks
(Elsevier, 2009)Over a decade ago, Friedman et al. introduced the Tree Augmented Naïve Bayes (TAN) classifier, with experiments indicating that it significantly outperformed Naïve Bayes (NB) in terms of classification accuracy, ... -
One-Class Support Vector Machine Calibration Using Particle Swarm Optimisation
(2007)Abstract. Population-based search methods such as evolutionary algorithms, shuffled complex algorithms, simulated annealing and ant colony search are increasingly used as automatic calibration methods ... -
The optional prisoner's dilemma in a spatial environment: Co-evolving game strategy and link weights
(SciTePress Digital Library, 2016)In this paper, the Optional Prisoner’s Dilemma game in a spatial environment, with coevolutionary rules for both the strategy and network links between agents, is studied. Using a Monte Carlo simulation approach, a number ... -
Organizational context and the IS implementation process: an integrated research framework
(2000)Good IS managers have an intuitive grasp of the complex organizational and project dynamics required for successful implementation of large information systems. Years of hard-earned experience have taught them that IS ... -
Particle swarm optimisation with gradually increasing directed neighbourhoods
(Association for Computing Machiner, 2011)Particle swarm optimisation (PSO) is an intelligent random search algorithm, and the key to success is to effectively balance between the exploration of the solution space in the early stages and the exploitation of the ... -
Player-Traced Empirical Cost-Surfaces for A* Pathfinding
(Eurosis, 2011)This paper discusses the use of empirical cost-surfaces derived from substantial amounts of player-traced movements in an online vehicular combat game, for the purposes of improving A* pathfinding by AI vehicles. The ... -
Polarity assessment of thermoresponsive poly(NIPAM-co-NtBA) copolymer films using fluorescence methods.
(Springer, 2010)The in-situ, non-contact, and non-destructive measurement of the physicochemical properties such as the polarity of thin, hydrophilic polymer films is desirable in many areas of polymer science. Polarity is a complex factor ... -
Probabilistic Detection of Short Events, with Application to Critical Care Monitoring
(2008)We describe an application of probabilistic modeling and inference technology to the problem of analyzing sensor data in the setting of an intensive care unit (ICU). In particular, we consider the arterial-line blood ... -
Probabilistic Modeling of Sensor Artifacts in Critical Care
(2008)We describe an application of probabilistic modeling and inference technology to the problem of analyzing sensor data in the setting of an intensive care unit (ICU). In particular, we consider the arterial-line blood ... -
The production of energy from short rotation forestry

Qualitative and Quantitative Analysis of Chlorinated Solvents using Raman Spectroscopy and Machine Learning
(2005)The unambiguous identification and quantification of hazardous materials is of increasing importance in many sectors such as waste disposal, pharmaceutical manufacturing, and environmental protection. One particular ... -
Revealing the Origin and Nature of Drug Resistance of Dynamic Tumour Systems
(2010)In this paper, the authors identify the strategies that resistant subpopulations of cancer cells undertake to overcome the effect of the anticancer drug Topotecan. For the analyses of cell lineage data encoded from timelapse ... -
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 ...
