Use Of Agent Based Modeling To Simulate Complex Ecological Systems In Contexts With Poor Information; The Case Of The Winton Wetlands In Victoria, Australia
نویسندگان
چکیده
There have been numerous frameworks and approaches developed for the study of complex ecological systems. For the most part, these approaches require extensive amounts of information. The aim of this paper is use Agent-Based Models to simulate complex ecological systems and examine overarching trends, using the Winton Wetlands in Victoria, Australia as a case study. The study showed that even though there are gaps of information about the functioning of this particular site, this type of framework could increase the understanding of complex ecological systems and assist in decisionmaking processes.

A review of agent-based modeling (ABM) concepts and some of its main applications in management science
We live in a very complex world where we face complex phenomena such as social norms and new technologies. To deal with such phenomena, social scientists often use reductionism approach where they reduce them to some lower-lever variables and model the relationships among them through a scheme of equations. This approach that is called equation based modeling (EBM) has some basic weaknesses in ...

agent-based modeling is an emerging computational technique that makes it possible to simulate complex economic systems, including the banking network, with a bottom-up approach. In this paper, the country's banking network is simulated with an intelligent multi-agent modeling model and indicates that these agents behave based on the adaptive learning. This modeling has been done with the aim o...

Objective(s): The ability to measure cellular proliferation non-invasively in renal cell carcinoma may allow prediction of tumour aggressiveness and response to therapy. The aim of this study was to evaluate the uptake of 18Ffluorothymidine (FLT) PET in renal cell carcinoma (RCC), and to compare this to 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose (FDG), and to an immunohistochemical measure of cellular proliferatio...
متن کاملCase Report: Co-Occurrence of Pituitary Adenoma with Suprasellar and Olfactory Groove Meningiomas
Introduction: The co-existence of pituitary adenoma and meningioma is extremely rare. It is even rarer in patients with no previous known risk factors for either tumour. Here, we present a case of synchronous non-functioning pituitary adenoma with suprasellar and olfactory groove meningiomas in a patient without previous irradiation. Methods: The tumours were diagnosed on MRI in the 65-year-ol...
