Intelligent Energy Optimization for User Intelligible Goals in Smart Home Environments [PDF]

, 2012
Intelligent management of energy consumption is one of the key issues for future energy distribution systems, smart buildings, and consumer appliances. The problem can be tackled both from the point of view of the utility provider, with the intelligence ...

Material‐Based Intelligence: Autonomous Adaptation and Embodied Computation in Physical Substrates

Advanced Intelligent Systems, EarlyView.
This perspective formulates a unifying framework for Material‐Based Intelligence (MBI), defining the physical requirements for materials to achieve embodied action, active memory and embodied information processing through intrinsic nonequilibrium dynamics. The design of intelligent materials often draws parallels with the complex adaptive behaviors of

A delay differential model of ENSO variability: Parametric instability and the distribution of extremes [PDF]

, 2007
We consider a delay differential equation (DDE) model for El-Nino Southern Oscillation (ENSO) variability. The model combines two key mechanisms that participate in ENSO dynamics: delayed negative feedback and seasonal forcing.

Supported Decision‐Making Rights in Behaviour Support Policies

Australian Journal of Social Issues, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Disability policy emphasises that people with disability have the right to exercise their will and preferences in their lives, and decision‐making support must be provided to realise this right if they request. One context in which people's will and preferences are often restricted is behaviour support.

Boolean Delay Equations: A simple way of looking at complex systems

, 2007
Boolean Delay Equations (BDEs) are semi-discrete dynamical models with Boolean-valued variables that evolve in continuous time. Systems of BDEs can be classified into conservative or dissipative, in a manner that parallels the classification of ordinary ...

Interface Simulation Distances

, 2012
The classical (boolean) notion of refinement for behavioral interfaces of system components is the alternating refinement preorder. In this paper, we define a distance for interfaces, called interface simulation distance.

Patterns of spinal motion, kinematic spaces and the land‐to‐sea transition in carnivorans

The Anatomical Record, EarlyView.
Using 3D reconstructions, we quantify intervertebral joint mobility to investigate how cervical, thoracic, and lumbar vertebral regions evolved distinct kinematic roles in pinnipeds. The findings reveal lineage‐specific adaptations for swimming and highlight the functional significance of vertebral joint flexibility in ecological transitions.

Boolean Valued Models, Saturation, Forcing Axioms [PDF]

, 2015
This dissertation will focus on Boolean-valued models, giving some insight into the theory of Boolean ultrapowers, and developing the connection with forcing axioms and absoluteness results. This study will be divided into three chapters.

Circular Economy Pathways for Airport Climate Change Mitigation

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Airport operators face growing climate‐change pressures; the circular economy offers pathways to reduce impacts and recover resources. We examine how airport operators apply the circular economy in practice. We use an exploratory qualitative multicase design based on practitioner‐generated documents (e.g., press releases and sustainability ...

Consumer Resistance to Circular Fashion: A Systematic Literature Review of Consumer Barriers and Innovation Resistance in Circular Business Models

Business Strategy and the Environment, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT The transition toward circular fashion is widely promoted as a pathway to sustainable development, yet consumer resistance continues to hinder the adoption of circular business models across resale, rental, repair, and remaking. Existing research identifies numerous consumer barriers, but insights remain fragmented, model‐specific, and largely
