A Computational Theory of Context Dependence

Analysis of the Evolutionary Game Theory in Agent-Based Computational Systems: OPEC Oil-Producing Countries

This study suggests a new method for analysing the behavioral economics issues in the framework of game theory. In this context, bounded rational agents interact with one another in a strategic manner. Therefore, conventional economic modeling techniques are unable to explaine this kind of interactions. In this regard, evolutionary game theory and agent-based modeling are known as the most suit...

Designing a Model for Managing the Ethical and Job Attitudes of Employees in Government Agencies

Background: The purpose of this study is to design a model for managing the ethical and professional attitude of employees in government organizations. Method: The present research method is a mixed (qualitative-quantitative) research. In the qualitative part, the strategy used was the Foundationchr('39')s data theory (Grand Theory). The statistical population consisted of university professor...

The dependence of the modulus of elasticity on reference temperature in the theory of generalized thermoelastic diffiusion with one relaxation time

General Theory of Cycle-Dependence of Total pi-Electron Energy

The theoretical treatment of cycle-effects on total pi-electron energy, mainly elaborated by Nenad Trinajstic and his research group, is re-stated in a general and more formal manner. It enables to envisage several other possible ways of measuring the cycle-effects and points at further directions of research.

Nonlinear Bending Analysis of Functionally Graded Plates Using SQ4T Elements based on Twice Interpolation Strategy

This paper develops a computational model for nonlinear bending analysis of functionally graded (FG) plates using a four-node quadrilateral element SQ4T within the context of the first order shear deformation theory (FSDT). In particular, the construction of the nonlinear geometric equations are based on Total Lagrangian approach in which the motion at the present state compared with the initia...

Describing the Complexity of Systems: Multivariable "Set Complexity" and the Information Basis of Systems Biology

Context dependence is central to the description of complexity. Keying on the pairwise definition of "set complexity," we use an information theory approach to formulate general measures of systems complexity. We examine the properties of multivariable dependency starting with the concept of interaction information. We then present a new measure for unbiased detection of multivariable dependenc...
