Many problems impede the design of multiagent systems, not the least of which is the passing of information between agents. While others hand implement communication routes and semantics, we explore a method by which communication can evolve. In the experiments described here, we model agents as connectionist networks. We supply each agent with a number of communications channels implemented by...

The need for reliable predictions in environmental modelling is long known. Particularly, the predicted weather and meteorological information about the future atmospheric state is crucial and necessary for almost all other areas of environmental modelling. Additionally, right decisions to prevent damages and save lives could be taken depending on a reliable meteorological prediction process. L...

Total carbon dioxide (CO2) emission and energy consumption by mainland China in recent years has been second only to the U.S. China’s environmental pollution causes about 3.5% to 8% loss of GDP every year, indicating that its domestic environmental problem has become one of the most urgent issues the government must face. Current studies in the literature that employ data envelopment analysis (...

In China, environmental pollution responsibilities are divided according to administrative regions. However, because of the strong externality pollution, movement undoubtedly increases complexity governance. To divide responsibility governance in each province, we effectively quantify unequal relationship between costs and economic benefits province understand mechanism characteristics inter-pr...

We discuss how visual nonlinearity can be optimized for the precise representation of environmental inputs. Such optimization leads to neural signals with a compressively nonlinear input-output function the gradient of which is matched to the cube root of the probability density function (PDF) of the environmental input values (and not to the PDF directly as in histogram equalization). Comparis...

Systematic gene expression analyses provide comprehensive information about the transcriptional response to different environmental and developmental conditions. With enough gene expression data points, computational biologists may eventually generate predictive computer models of transcription regulation. Such models will require computational methodologies consistent with the behavior of know...
