Better Be Convincing or Better Be Stylish? a Theory Based Multi-Agent Simulation to Explain Minority Influence in Groups Via Arguments or Via Peripheral Cues

Mosler, Hans-Joachim - In: Journal of Artificial Societies and Social Simulation 9 (2006) 3, pp. 4-4

explain the power of minorities at individual level. In this contribution, we present an agent-based computer simulation of … the method of computer simulation. First, we found that even a minority with low argument quality can be successful as … computer simulation provides a useful tool for theory development and application in an exploratory manner as long as it is …

Efficiency and risk of investment projects – probability distribution or possibility distribution

Rebiasz, Bogdan - In: Operations Research and Decisions 3-4 (2006), pp. 113-131

Risk accompanies every economic decision. Investment decisions are burdened with particularly great risk. Quantification of risk belongs to most heaviest tasks in risk management of the investment project. Traditionally, probability distribution was being utilized for the description of the...

Simulation of energetic- and exergetic performance of microwave-assisted fluidized bed drying of soybeans

Ranjbaran, M.; Zare, D. - In: Energy 59 (2013) C, pp. 484-493

The performance of microwave-assisted fluidized bed drying of soybeans was simulated (using a previously validated mathematical model) and analyzed based on the first- and second law of thermodynamics. The energy and exergy analysis were carried out for several drying conditions. The effects of...

A Monte Carlo study of ant traffic in a uni-directional trail

Kunduraci, T.; Kayacan, O. - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 9, pp. 1946-1954

In this study, we aim to investigate ant traffic in the uni-directional ant trail. We consider two types of ants moving in the trail: one of which smells well and the other does not. The theoretical base of the study is similar to that of the Nagel–Schreckenberg (NaSch) model, but we do not...

Investigation of nucleation and grain growth in 2-dimensional systems by using generalized Monte Carlo simulations

Cetinel, Hakan; Kayacan, Ozhan; Ozaydin, Demet - In: Physica A: Statistical Mechanics and its Applications 392 (2013) 18, pp. 4121-4126

In this study, nucleation and grain growth was studied by using 2-dimensional generalized Monte Carlo simulations and experiments. As an attempt to improve the JMAK model, we proposed a new differential equation to be able to model nucleation and growth phenomena using nonextensive...
