Handling Cycles in Conformational Behaviour Visualization
A simulation of conformational behaviour of molecules produces series of rapidly changing shapes of a particular molecule. Animated visualization of the process requires continuous morphing from one shape into another. Recently we proposed a method applicable on acyclic structures, in this paper we focus on smooth interpolation between different shapes of cycles.
متن کاملEpidemic cycles driven by host behaviour
Host immunity and demographics (the recruitment of susceptibles via birthrate) have been demonstrated to be a key determinant of the periodicity of measles, pertussis and dengue epidemics. However, not all epidemic cycles are from pathogens inducing sterilizing immunity or are driven by demographics. Many sexually transmitted infections are driven by sexual behaviour. We present a mathematical ...
متن کاملCycles and Intractability in Social Choice Theory
We introduce the (j, k)-Kemeny rule – a generalization that aggregates weak orders. Special cases include approval voting, the mean rule and Borda mean rule, as well as the Borda count and plurality voting. Why, then, is the winner problem computationally simple for each of these other rules, but NP -hard for Kemeny? We show that winner intractability for the (j, k)-Kemeny rule first appears at...
متن کاملSocial behaviour in mesopelagic jellyfish
Gelatinous organisms apparently play a central role in deep pelagic ecosystems, but lack of observational methodologies has restricted information on their behaviour. We made acoustic records of diel migrating jellyfish Periphylla periphylla forming small, ephemeral groups at the upper fringe of an acoustic scattering layer consisting of krill. Groups of P. periphylla were also documented photo...
متن کاملModelling Behaviour Cycles for Life-Long Learning in Motivated Agents
Natural systems such as plants, animals and humans exhibit behaviour that forms distinct, rhythmic cycles. These cycles permit individuals and societies to learn, adapt and evolve in complex, dynamic environments. This paper introduces a model of behaviour cycles for artificial systems. This model provides a new way to conceptualise and evaluate life-long learning in artificial agents. The mode...
