Buchanan and the Social Contract: Coordination Failures and the Atrophy of Property Rights

open access: yesSouthern Economic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT James Buchanan advocated that societies should be based on a social contract. He rejected anarchy, seeing it as a “Hobbesian jungle” that calls for government intervention to maintain social order. He also opposed theories of spontaneous order. These views led to debates about the compatibility of Buchanan's works with classical liberalism and

Optimal structural design method for reinforced concrete column in buildings with high floor heights using a genetic algorithm

open access: yesStructural Concrete, EarlyView.
Abstract Globally, there is a growing trend toward taller, larger, and more structurally diverse buildings that require expansive interior spaces. Rapid technological advancements have surged the demand for data centers, while the expansion of e‐commerce has increased logistics volumes, driving the need for large‐scale warehouses.

Quantifying Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance: An Early Experiment Using Network Design Tasks

open access: yesSystems Engineering, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Structural Complexity is perceived as driving cost in system development, yet managing it effectively requires empirical understanding. This study investigates human decision‐making using a toy transportation‐style network design task, focusing on how Structural Complexity, Effort, and Performance interact. Seventy‐four participants (primarily

Preliminary Study on Unit Commitment for Renewable Energy Integration Considering Operation Cost and Life Cycle Assessment

open access: yesIEEJ Transactions on Electrical and Electronic Engineering, EarlyView.
Most countries, including Japan, are focused on achieving net‐zero greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions by 2050, which requires quick action. Despite the increasing level of renewable power generation in power grids, fossil fuel power plants still have a significant role in producing GHG emissions, causing serious environmental issues.

Combining kernelised autoencoding and centroid prediction for dynamic multi‐objective optimisation

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract Evolutionary algorithms face significant challenges when dealing with dynamic multi‐objective optimisation because Pareto optimal solutions and/or Pareto optimal fronts change. The authors propose a unified paradigm, which combines the kernelised autoncoding evolutionary search and the centroid‐based prediction (denoted by KAEP), for solving ...

MOEA/D‐based multi‐row facility layout optimisation method with discontinuity perceiving of the Pareto front

open access: yesCAAI Transactions on Intelligence Technology, EarlyView.
Abstract In a multi‐row facility layout problem (MRFLP), facilities are arranged in more than one row under the limited layout area. Considering different layout factors, various extensions of MRFLP have been modelled. However, the orientation of input/output (I/O) point in a facility, as a key factor that plays a direct impact on flow cost, is seldom ...
