Water wizards: reshaping wet nature and society

Essex Wizards Essex-wizards

This article is to describe the Essex Wizards team attending the simulation league of RoboCup’99 in Stockholm. A long-term research goal of this team is to focus on cooperative behaviours, team roles and formations, sensor fusion and machine learning capabilities. Therefore, the initial efforts for participating at RoboCup’99 are mainly concentrated on a multithreaded implementation to simulate...

How the Internet is Reshaping Markets, Society and Economics

The objective of this paper is to present a unifying framework for studying the impact of new collaborative technologies (or consumer technologies) on markets, society and economic science. It aims to influence researchers in social sciences, entrepreneurs and policy-makers to accelerate the adoption of the learning, tools and opportunities which the new collaborative technologies bring into th...

Wettability Alteration of Oil- Wet and Water-Wet of Iranian Heavy Oil Reservoir by CuO Nanoparticles

The petroleum industry requires the best materials to reverse the rock wettability to water-wet state which give significantly improved oil recovery.Nanoparticles are suggested as enhanced oil recovery potential agents to decrease viscosity and alter the wettability of reservoir towards more water-wet. This study provides new insights into CuO nanoparticles effects on wett...

Nature Of Economics In The Ideal Society Of Monotheist Religions

Inequality in nature and society

Most societies are economically dominated by a small elite, and similarly, natural communities are typically dominated by a small fraction of the species. Here we reveal a strong similarity between patterns of inequality in nature and society, hinting at fundamental unifying mechanisms. We show that chance alone will drive 1% or less of the community to dominate 50% of all resources in situatio...
