We conduct an investigation into the dispersive post-shock oscillations in an entropic lattice-Boltzmann method (ELBM), in particular the entropic lattice-Bhatnagar-Gross-Krook (ELBGK) scheme. Simulations on the one-dimensional shock tube show no benefit in terms of regularization from using ELBGK over the standard LBGK. We also conduct an experiment investigating equipping the LBGK method with...

This chapter introduces Part II on modeling tutoring knowledge in ITS research. Starting with its origin and with a characterization of tutoring, it proposes a general definition of tutoring, and a description of tutoring functions, variables, and interactions. The Interaction Hypothesis is presented and discussed, followed by the development of the tutorial component of ITSs, and their evaluat...

Every new network generation needs to make a leap in area data throughput, to manage the growing wireless data traffic. The Massive MIMO technology can bring at least ten-fold improvements in area throughput by increasing the spectral efficiency (bit/s/Hz/cell), while using the same bandwidth and density of base stations as in current networks. These extraordinary gains are achieved by equippin...

Graphs with interfaces are a simple and intuitive tool for allowing a graph G to interact with the environment, by equipping it with two morphisms J → G, I → G. These “handles” were used to define graphical operators, and to provide an inductive presentation of graph rewriting. A main feature of graphs with interfaces is their characterization as terms of a free algebra. So far, this was possib...

This paper proposes a model giving Theory of Mind (ToM) capabilities to artificial agents to allow them to carry out deceptive behaviours. It describes a model supporting an N-level Theory of Mind and reports a study to assess whether equipping agents with a two-level ToM results in them being perceived as more socially intelligent than agents with a singlelevel ToM. A deception game being deve...

We present results from an experiment where the effects of automatic flow control at a single substation is compared to automatic cooperative concurrent flow control at multiple substations. The latter approach is made possible by equipping individual substations with some computing power and integrating them into a communications network. Software agents, whose purpose is to cooperate with oth...

A new iterative image reconstruction algorithm for electrical capacitance tomography (ECT) is proposed that is based on iterative soft thresholding of a total variation penalty and adaptive reweighted compressive sensing. This algorithm encourages sharp changes in the ECT image and overcomes the disadvantage of the l1 minimization by equipping the total variation with an adaptive weighting depe...

Current developments in Car2X communication technology provide the basis for novel driver assistance systems. To assess the impact of such a system on a group of cars approaching a non moving traffic jam, the driver behavior resulting from a system which supports anticipatory driving is modeled and used in a sub-microscopic traffic simulation. By equipping various percentages of a simulated gro...

Preparedness scenarios project the need for significant healthcare surge capacity. Current planning draws heavily from the military model, leveraging deployable infrastructure to augment or replace extant capabilities. This approach would likely prove inadequate in a catastrophic disaster, as the military model relies on forewarning and an extended deployment cycle. Local equipping for surge ca...

A simulation project was performed to assist with redesign of the surgery department of a large tertiary hospital and to help administrators make the best decisions about relocating, staffing, and equipping the central sterilization department. A simulation model was created to analyze department configurations, staff schedules, equipment capacities, and cart-washing requirements. Performance m...
