The Ecological Economics theory state that the sustainable development depends on a new paradigm in the form in how the firms organize the system production-consumption. This new paradigm, called by some a...

Optimizing an Industrial Grinding Operation Under Uncertainty

Handling uncertainties for parameters in nonlinear constraints using chance constrained programming (CCP) is not as straight forward as its linear counterparts. A simulation based CCP approach which can be thought as an alternative to handle such a situation, has been adopted in this work while solving a multi-objective optimization problem of an industrial grinding operation under various para...

The Organisation of Co-operation

Sexual Selection of Co-operation

Advocates of sexual selection theory have argued that various male traits, such as male co-operative behavior towards females, can evolve through female preference for mating with those males who possess that trait. This paper reports on the results of a simulation performed to test the hypothesis that female preference for mating with co-operative males can lead to an increase in the proportio...
