Economic analysis of short-rotation forests for energy in Ireland
(North-Holland Pubs., Amsterdam, 1986) -
A Framework for Digital Wide-Area Survey from Aerial Photographs
(Wordwell Ltd., 1998)Despite the potential offered by modern computer technology to the labour-intensive work of 'Aerial Archaeology', few applications have been published. Where developments have been made, they have tended to be carried out ... -
Digital elevation modelling of individual monuments from aerial photographs
(John Wiley & Sons, 1999)Digital elevation models (DEM) are crucial data products for a variety of geographic applications, and their generation directly from digitized stereopairs of vertical aerial photographs has recently been accomplished. ... -
Collaborative Virtual Environments to Support Communication and Community in Internet-Based Distance Education
(jite.org, 2002)In this paper we discuss the use of modern information and communication technologies for distance education (DE) purposes. We argue that current technologies and implementations do not adequately support the key concepts ... -
A groupware system for virtual product innovation management
(Wiley, 2007-10-11)We are experiencing a radical shift in the way organizations are designed, structured, and organized. New organizational forms such as virtual strategic partnerships and networks are replacing traditional bureaucratic, ... -
Equation-based policy optimization for agent-oriented system dynamics models
(Wiley Blackwell, 2008-01-01)Within system dynamics, optimization has played an important role in identifying the best range of parameter values for policies in any given model. Optimal solutions focus on discovering the best combination of model ... -
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, ... -
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 ... -
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 ... -
The influence of random interactions and decision heuristics on norm evolution in social networks
(Springer, 2011-05)In this paper we explore the effect that random social interactions have on the emergence and evolution of social norms in a simulated population of agents. In our model agents observe the behaviour of others and update ... -
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 ... -
Co-evolutionary analysis: a policy exploration method for system dynamics models
(System Dynamics Society / Wiley, 2012-10-22)In system dynamics (SD), complex nonlinear systems can generate a wide range of possible behaviours that frequently require search and optimization algorithms in order to explore optimal policies. Within the SD literature, ... -
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. ... -
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 ... -
Improving spectral library search by redefining similarity measures
(Journal Of Chemical Information And Modeling, 2015-04-22)Similarity plays a central role in spectral library search. The goal of spectral library search is to identify those spectra in a reference library of known materials that most closely match an unknown query spectrum, on ... -
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 ...
