Behavior analysis for assisted living (2010)
Journal Article

In this paper, we describe a model-based behavior analysis system for assisted living. The goal is monitoring the well-being of a single occupant in a home. Behavior is defined as any pattern in a sequence of observations. In analyzing behavior in a... Read More about Behavior analysis for assisted living.

Operating binary strings using gliders and eaters in reaction-diffusion cellular automaton (2010)
Journal Article

We study transformations of 2-, 4- and 6-bit numbers in interactions between traveling and stationary localizations in the Spiral Rule reaction-diffusion cellular automaton. The Spiral Rule automaton is a hexagonal ternary-state two-dimensional cellu... Read More about Operating binary strings using gliders and eaters in reaction-diffusion cellular automaton.

Towards Physarum binary adders (2010)
Journal Article

Plasmodium of Physarum polycephalum is a single cell visible by unaided eye. The plasmodium's foraging behaviour is interpreted in terms of computation. Input data is a configuration of nutrients, result of computation is a network of plasmodium's cy... Read More about Towards Physarum binary adders.

An improved prediction of stability lobes using nonlinear thin wall dynamics (2010)
Journal Article

With manufactured sections getting much thinner due to weight requirements, there is the vital need for more accurate prediction of stable cutting conditions in machining. The tools used in machining vary in shapes and design hence a more robust mode... Read More about An improved prediction of stability lobes using nonlinear thin wall dynamics.

Differentiating trust in rural decision-making, Drawing on an English Case Study (2010)
Journal Article

Within the context of rural civic participation, three different types of trust are described, based on Simmelian-related constructs: personal trust, system trust and instrumental trust. Each has two components, a justification and a leap of faith. T... Read More about Differentiating trust in rural decision-making, Drawing on an English Case Study.

The incompatibility of economic development policies for rural areas in England (2010)
Journal Article

Four different and incommensurate economic development policies currently pertain in rural England: the pursuit of productivity, well-being, endogenous development and income support. This paper describes these policies as they pertained in 2007 in d... Read More about The incompatibility of economic development policies for rural areas in England.

Differentiating outdoor recreation: Evidence drawn from national surveys in Scotland (2010)
Journal Article

Outdoor recreation participation can be seen to fall into four identifiably different groups. Countryside outdoor recreation has been in decline for at least 25 years because of changing lifestyles and cultures, and targeted policy - which focuses he...

Journal Article

Localization dynamics in a binary two-dimensional cellular automaton: The Diffusion Rule (2010)
Journal Article

We study a two-dimensional cellular automaton (CA), called Diffusion Rule (DR), which exhibits diffusion-like dynamics of propagating patterns. In computational experiments we discover a wide range of mobile and stationary localizations (gliders, osc...

Prediction of mechanistic cutting force coefficients using ALE formulation (2010)
Journal Article

This paper demonstrated the use of an efficient and accurate numerical tool (i.e., FEA) in simulating the cutting process and determining both the average and instantaneous cutting force coefficients. The main advantage of this approach compared to o... Read More about Prediction of mechanistic cutting force coefficients using ALE formulation.

The effect of cycle lanes on the proximity between motor traffic and cycle traffic (2010)
Journal Article

An experiment collected proximity data of motor traffic overtaking cycle traffic on roads with and without cycle lanes using an instrumented bicycle. The work enhances previous research which has considered the riding position of the cyclist and whet...

Majority adder implementation by competing patterns in life-like rule B2/S2345 (2010)
Journal Article

In this paper we present a two-dimensional chaotic cellular automaton, the Life rule B2/S2345, able to simulate the action of an adder with majority gates, stimulated by gliders collisions transformed as competing patterns. Values of Boolean variable... Read More about Majority adder implementation by competing patterns in life-like rule B2/S2345.

Equations of state for 1-D modelling of ram accelerator thrust in thermally choked propulsion mode (2010)
Journal Article

A one-dimensional performance analysis code has been developed at the Laboratoire de Combustion et de Détonique to predict the thrust in the thermally choked ram accelerator propulsion mode. This code includes the real gas effect in steady state calc... Read More about Equations of state for 1-D modelling of ram accelerator thrust in thermally choked propulsion mode.

Complex dynamics emerging in Rule 30 with majority memory (2010)
Journal Article

In cellular automata with memory, the unchanged maps of the conventional cellular automata are applied to cells endowed with memory of their past states in some specified interval. We implement Rule 30 automata with a majority memory and show that usi... Read More about Complex dynamics emerging in Rule 30 with majority memory.

How to make dull cellular automata complex by adding memory: Rule 126 case study (2010)
Journal Article

Using Rule 126 elementary cellular automaton (ECA), we demonstrate that a chaotic discrete system - when enriched with memory - hence exhibits complex dynamics where such space exploits on an ample universe of periodic patterns induced from original...

On generative morphological diversity of elementary cellular automata (2010)
Journal Article

Purpose: Studies in complexity of cellular automata do usually deal with measures taken on integral dynamics or statistical measures of space-time configurations. No one has tried to analyze a generative power of cellular-automaton machines. The purp... Read More about On generative morphological diversity of elementary cellular automata.
