How one builds, checks, validates and interprets a model depends on its 'purpose'.This is true even if the same code used for di erent purposes.This means that built purpose but then another needs to be re-justified new this will probably mean it also has rechecked, re-validated maybe re-built in way.Here we review some of purposes simulation complex social phenomena, focusing seven particular: prediction, explanation, description, theoretical exploration, illustration, analogy,...
Pulmonary fibrosis (PF) is a severe and progressive condition in which the lung becomes scarred over time resulting pulmonary function impairment. Classical histopathology remains an important tool for micro-structural tissue assessment diagnosis of PF. A novel workflow based on spatial correlated propagation-based phase-contrast micro computed tomography (PBI-microCT), atomic force microscopy (AFM) was developed applied to two different preclinical mouse models PF - commonly used well...
ABSTRACT Gaining research experience early on is instrumental for undergraduate students, motivating them and improving their comprehension of science. Here, we present an experimental setup that does not require access to state-of-the-art laboratories provides hands-on conceptual insights into biophysical research. Due time constraints, such research-oriented skills are commonly less in focus during studies. With our experiment, students can simultaneously record force–strain curves measure...
There has been some discussion about agent-based modelling (ABM) and theory, particularly how ABM might facilitate theory building. However, there is confusion the different ways they could relate scepticism as to whether needed if one an ABM. This paper distinguishes of that term "theory" used in papers three important journals: Environmental Modelling & Software, Computers, Environment Urban Systems Journal Artificial Societies Social Simulation. Apart from simple-minded identification...
GAM, combining games and agent-based models, shows potential for investigating complex social phenomena. Games offer engaging environments generating insights into dynamics, perceptions, behaviours, while models support the analysis of complexity. share important ability both to input output qualitative quantitative data. Currently, there is no overview GAM approaches. In a systematic literature review, we identified six research design types in empirical studies date. The functional range...
A statistical analysis of the breakage essentially one-dimensional materials (fibres) has been performed. This process characterized by two independent frequency functions, one specifying proportion fibres a certain length that are broken per unit time, and other number distribution fragments. From these functions equation giving fibre at any instant derived. With limiting conditions this solved with respect to moments function.
In many computational social simulation models only cursory reference to the foundations of agent cognition used is made and expenses let modellers chose simplistic architectures. Both choices run counter expectations framed by scholars active in domain rich cognitive modelling that see reasoning as socially inherently contextualized. The Manchester school proposed a particular kind contextualized mechanism, so called endorsements, implement processes underlying action selection eventually...
Data acquired from practical industrial experience with several commonly used compacting lubricants have been investigated the viewpoints of: (1) thermal decomposition in relation to sintering conditions (atmospheres, vacuum, temperature); (2) influence on compactibility of iron powder (improved density) and reduction ejection force.On basis results obtained, paper concludes points guidance regarding use metallurgy.
This paper presents a snapshot of the Declarative Rulebased Agent Modelling System (DRAMS), which is currently being developed with goal providing declarative rule engine functionality to agent-based simulation models. While incentive for this effort allow stakeholders in policy modelling activities better understand and, hence, be more deeply involved and processes, approach chosen appears valuable many other areas. After short literature review on similar approaches, briefly outlines FP7...
Postwar migration to “western” countries has gone hand in with the development of ethnically segmented labor markets, particularly low-skill roles where entry requirements are minimal. While numerous theories have been forwarded as why such situations occur, it remained difficult empirically test relative impact many interacting processes that produce segmentation market. In this article, we investigate ethnic low-skilled referral hiring is norm, particular reference role homogeneous social...
Within a cell, intermediate filaments interact with other cytoskeletal components, altogether providing the cell's mechanical stability. However, little attention has been drawn to close plasma membrane. In this cortex configuration, are coupled and arranged in parallel membrane, question arises of how they react stretching To address question, we set out establish an vitro system composed polydimethylsiloxane-supported lipid bilayer. With uniaxial device, supported membrane was stretched up...
