Density functional theory (DFT) combined with the non equilibrium Green’s function formalism (NEGF) is applied to perform spin polarized transport calculations on small world network (SWN) systems consisting of atomic wires. Including the spin property in SWN structures leads to interesting...

We develop an analytic bond order potential for modelling of gold. The bond order formalism includes bond angularity and offers an alternative approach to the embedded atom type potentials frequently used to describe metallic bonding. The advantage of the developed potential is that it can be...

The reverse Monte Carlo (RMC) simulation is applied in the study of an aqueous electrolyte LiCl6H<Subscript>2</Subscript>O. On the basis of the available experimental neutron scattering data, RMC computes pair radial distribution functions in order to explore the structural features of the system. The obtained results...</subscript>

This paper studies infinitely repeated games with imperfect public monitoring and the possibility of monetary transfers. It is shown that all public perfect equilibrium payoffs can be implemented with a simple class of stationary equilibria that use stick-and-carrot punishments. A fast algorithm...

Periodic changes of water levels, and associated tidal currents, are due to the gravitational attraction forces between the Earth, the Sun and the Moon. These changes can be transformed to a renewable energy resource called Tidal Current Energy. A number of resource quantization and...

Gradient-based approaches to direct policy search in reinforcement learning have received much recent attention as a means to solve problems of partial observability and to avoid some of the problems associated with policy degradation in value-function methods. In this paper we introduce GPOMDP,...
