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
(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, ... -
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 ... -
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 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 ...
