This paper describes some extensions to our CAVALIER agent-based simulation system, a tool for studying the performance of networked military organisations. Specifically, we have improved event handling and added neural-network-based learning. The CAVALIER tool is intended for collaborative workshops in the style of Project Albert. To demonstrate this use, the paper describes in detail an exper...

and we are going to determine all the possible dynamics of this type of equation. Also, we can say that generically there are two different T-periodic solutions. In this equation we emphasize the following antecedents. First, in 1975, there appeared a paper written by N. G. Lloyd [5] about complex solutions of a real Riccati equation. This study was continued in a 1984 paper by H. S. Hassan [3]...

1) Methods (a) Samples We analyzed 19 individuals belonging to 11 relevant honeycreeper taxa and one outgroup. Common and scientific names of taxa sampled and respective sample sizes (n) are as follows: Hawaii creeper, Oreomystis mana (3); Kauai creeper, O. bairdi (2); Maui alauahio, Paroreomyza montana (2); akepa, Loxops coccineus (3); akekee, L. caeruleirostris (2); Hawaii amakihi, Hemignathu...

This research analyzes network effects in technology acceptance. The hypothesis is that the size of the user network affects technology acceptance. Even today, empirical measurement of network effects is challenging and there is a lack of experimental evidence. In order to investigate andmeasure the relationechnology acceptance etwork effects etwork externalities aboratory experiment ship betwe...

Agent based distillations (ABD) are low-resolution abstract models, which can be used to explore questions associated with land combat operations in a short period of time. Movement of agents within the EINSTein and MANA ABDs is based on a simple attraction-repulsion weighting system and an associated numerical penalty function. The relative simplicity of these ABDs seems to have led to the gen...

• Explore the variations in forest biodiversity and associated patterns of climate and ge o g ra p hy that influence fire regimes; • Evaluate the influence of past and current management (e.g., fire exclusion) and land use on forest biodiversity; and • Consider the likely impacts of fire management alternatives, including suppression, post-fire remediation, prescribed fire, and mechanical thinn...
