For metal-based compounds, the ground- and excited-state dipole moments and the difference thereof are, for the first time, obtained both experimentally and theoretically using solvatochromic equations and DFT/B3LYP/QZVP calculations. The approach is suggested to be promising and easily accessible, and can be universal to elucidate the electronic properties of metal-based compounds.

The environmental benefits from Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES) schemes can often be enhanced if private land managers are induced to enrol in a spatially coordinated manner. One incentive mechanism which has been proposed achieve such spatial coordination is the agglomeration bonus, two-part payment scheme offers pecuniary (financial) reward decisions that lead greater of enrolled land. H...

Dynamical systems researchers have understood the stable patterning of interpersonal and non-biological environmental rhythmic limb coordination to be constrained by the selforganized entrainment processes’ coupled oscillators. Recently, it has been demonstrated that an individual’s rhythmic limb movements exhibit greater variability when viewing spatially incongruent biological limb movements,...

Coordination is an essential technique in cooperative, distributed multi-agent systems. However, sophisticated coordination strategies are not always cost-effective in all problem-solving situations. This paper presents a learning method to identify what information will improve coordination in specific problem-solving situations. Learning is accomplished by recording and analyzing traces of in...

Traditional characterizations of communication as a biological phenomenon are theoretically criticized , and an alternative understanding is presented in terms of recursive action coordination following works on cybernetics and autopoiesis. As rst steps towards a study on the evolution of communication, two sets of computational experiments are presented, one dealing with non-recursive coordina...
