We compare our own embodied conversational agent (ECA) scheme, BotCom, with seven other complex Internet-based ECAs according to recentlypublished information about them, and highlight some important attributes that have received little attention in the construction of realistic ECAs. BotCom incorporates the use of emotions, humor and complex information services. We cover issues that are likel...
متن کاملPricing Catastrophe Reinsurance with Reinstatement Provisions Using a Catastrophe Model
In recent years catastrophe reinsurers' use of catastrophe models has been increasing until currently virtually all of the catastrophe reinsurers in the world use a catastrophe model to aid them in their pricing and portfolio management decisions. This paper explicitly models various types of reinstatement provisions, including reinstatements that are limited by the number of occurrences and by...
متن کاملPodocyte Mitosis – A Catastrophe
Podocyte loss plays a key role in the progression of glomerular disorders towards glomerulosclerosis and chronic kidney disease. Podocytes form unique cytoplasmic extensions, foot processes, which attach to the outer surface of the glomerular basement membrane and interdigitate with neighboring podocytes to form the slit diaphragm. Maintaining these sophisticated structural elements requires an...
متن کاملA Viscoelastic Catastrophe
We use a differential constitutive equation to model the flow of a viscoelastic flow in a cross-slot geometry, which is known to exhibit bistability above a critical flow rate. The novelty lies in two asymmetric modifications to the geometry, which causes a change in the bifurcation diagram such that one of the stable solutions becomes disconnected from the solution at low flow speeds. First we...
