Patterns of Consumption in Socio-Economic Models with Heterogeneous Interacting Agents

Statistical mechanics of socio-economic systems with heterogeneous agents

We review the statistical mechanics approach to the study of the emerging collective behavior of systems of heterogeneous interacting agents. The general framework is presented through examples is such contexts as ecosystem dynamics and traffic modeling. We then focus on the analysis of the optimal properties of large random resource-allocation problems and on Minority Games and related models ...

Toy Models of Markets With Heterogeneous Interacting Agents

economic optimization and energy consumption in tray dryers

دراین پروژه به بررسی مدل سازی خشک کردن مواد غذایی با استفاده از هوای خشک در خشک کن آزمایشگاهی نوع سینی دار پرداخته شده است. برای آنالیز انتقال رطوبت در طی خشک شدن به طریق جابجایی، یک مدل لایه نازک برای انتقال رطوبت، مبتنی بر معادله نفوذ فیک در نظر گفته شده است که شامل انتقال همزمان جرم و انرژی بین فاز جامد و گاز می باشد. پروفایل دما و رطوبت برای سه نوع ماده غذایی شامل سیب زمینی، سیب و موز در طی...

Economies with heterogeneous interacting learning agents

Economic agents differ from physical atoms because of the learning capability and memory, which lead to strategic behaviour. Economic agents learn how to interact and behave by modifying their behaviour when the economic environment changes. We show that business fluctuations are endogenously generated by the interaction of learning agents via the phenomenon of regenerative-coordination, i.e. a...

Socio-economic Differences in Dietary Intakes: The Comprehensive Study on Household Food Consumption Patterns and Nutritional Status of I.R. Iran

Background and Objectives: An association between socioeconomic status (SES) and poor health has been recognized. Inequalities in nutrition have been associated with inequalities in health.
