Detecting qualitatively different behaviours in complex models
We suggest that one of the main purposes of modelling is to explore the potential dynamical behaviours a system can display. Within this view, we aim to discriminate model behaviours which appear to be qualitatively different given a problem at hand. This approach fits nicely within a pre-cautionary approach to ecological and social problems aimed to inform policy-makers on the range of scenari...
متن کاملPreferences for Truthfulness: Heterogeneity Among and Within Individuals
A total of 261 subjects (median age: 23 years) participated in this online experiment. We recruited participants from undergraduate classes at the University of Zurich (Switzerland). 50 percent of the participants were economics and finance students, 40 percent psychology students, and 10 percent students from other fields. 42 percent were women and 58 percent were men (distributed across the f...
متن کاملSpatiotemporal epidemic models for rabies among animals
Rabies is a serious concern to public health and wildlife management worldwide. Over the last three decades, various mathematical models have been proposed to study the transmission dynamics of rabies. In this paper we provide a mini-review on some reactiondiffusion models describing the spatial spread of rabies among animals. More specifically, we introduce the susceptible-exposed-infectious m...
متن کاملIncorporating Diffusion in Complex Geometries into Stochastic Chemical Kinetics Simulations
A method is developed for incorporating diffusion of chemicals in complex geometries into stochastic chemical kinetics simulations. Systems are modeled using the reaction-diffusion master equation, with jump rates for diffusive motion between mesh cells calculated from the discretization weights of an embedded boundary method. Since diffusive jumps between cells are treated as first order react...
متن کاملpassivity in waiting for godot and endgame: a psychoanalytic reading
this study intends to investigate samuel beckett’s waiting for godot and endgame under the lacanian psychoanalysis. it begins by explaining the most important concepts of lacanian psychoanalysis. the beckettian characters are studied regarding their state of unconscious, and not the state of consciousness as is common in most beckett studies. according to lacan, language plays the sole role in ...
