Sustainable deployment of QTLs conferring quantitative resistance to crops: first lessons from a stochastic model [PDF]

open access: yes, 2014
Quantitative plant disease resistance is believed to be more durable than qualitative resistance, since it exerts less selective pressure on the pathogens.

Agent-based Simulation of Durables Dynamic Pricing

open access: yesSystems Engineering Procedia, 2011
AbstractThe market is a complex economic system, in which all members adaptively interact with each other and with the environment to make decisions. Therefore, pricing dynamically due to the real market situation is a system engineering task. This paper developed an agent-based consumer affordability model, trying to observe the durables diffusion ...
