Parameter Calibration in Crowd Simulation Models using Approximate Bayesian Computation

Collective Dynamics, 2020
Simulation models for pedestrian crowds are a ubiquitous tool in research and industry. It is crucial that the parameters of these models are calibrated carefully and ultimately it will be of interest to compare competing models to decide which model is best suited for a particular purpose.

Between and Beyond: Negotiating Belonging Within Queer Borderlands

Nations and Nationalism, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Belonging is an affective, social and biopolitical phenomenon which is relationally negotiated and which produces material and symbolic ‘borders’. Subsequently, the politics of belonging refers to the construction, maintenance and policing of the borders of belonging.

Socially Constrained Structural Learning for Groups Detection in Crowd

, 2015
Modern crowd theories agree that collective behavior is the result of the underlying interactions among small groups of individuals. In this work, we propose a novel algorithm for detecting social groups in crowds by means of a Correlation Clustering ...

MISS diversity from saline lakes of Brazilian Pantanal: Origin, potential of preservation and comparison with examples of the Ediacaran‐Cambrian shallow depositional settings

Sedimentology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT One of the largest wetlands on Earth, the Brazilian Pantanal contains roughly 10 000 natural lakes, about 1000 of which are hypersaline. In these environmentally stressful settings, animal life struggles to survive, while cyanobacteria form extensive mats.

Photorealistic Synthetic Crowds Simulation in Indoor Environments (PSCS-I): A Novel Synthetic Dataset for Realistic Simulation of Crowd Panic and Violence Behaviors

IEEE Access
Crowd analysis is a critical research field in computer vision that focuses on understanding and predicting crowd behaviors with applications extending to public safety, urban planning, and event management. However, the scarcity of large-scale, diverse,

Identifying the Challenges of Prehospital Emergency Centers in Providing Care in Wartime and Proposing Strategic Solutions: A Qualitative Study

Health Science Reports, Volume 9, Issue 5, May 2026.
ABSTRACT Background and Aims Emergency Medical Services (EMS) centers, as the primary providers of urgent medical care, play a vital role in preserving lives during crises. Among the most complex and high‐risk scenarios affecting prehospital EMS performance is wartime conditions.

GPGPU Computing for Microscopic Simulations of Crowd Dynamics.

Comput. Informatics, 2016
We compare GPGPU implementations of two popular models of crowd dynamics. Specifically, we consider a continuous social force model, based on differential equations (molecular dynamics) and a discrete social distances model based on non-homogeneous cellular automata. For comparative purposes both models have been implemented in two versions: on the one

Fall experiences of ambulatory children and adults with cerebral palsy: A qualitative study using thematic content analysis

Developmental Medicine &Child Neurology, Volume 68, Issue 5, Page 673-680, May 2026.
Abstract Aim To qualitatively assess the causes, adaptations, and psychosocial impact of falls, and solutions for safer environments, as shared by individuals diagnosed with cerebral palsy (CP). Method Ambulatory adults with CP (n = 165; age median [interquartile range], range: 30 years [25–50], 18–76 years); 101 females, 59 males, five non‐binary/not ...

The impact of urbanisation on social behaviour: a comprehensive review

Biological Reviews, Volume 101, Issue 2, Page 1003-1035, April 2026.
ABSTRACT Urbanisation is a key driver of global environmental change and presents animals with novel stressors and challenges. It can fundamentally influence social behaviour and has the potential to reshape within‐ and between‐species social interactions. Given the role of social behaviour in reproductive fitness and survival, understanding how social
