Do People Make Decisions Under Risk Based on Ignorance? An Empirical Test of the Priority Heuristic against Cumulative Prospect Theory [PDF]
Brandstätter, Gigerenzer and Hertwig (2006) put forward the priority heuristic (PH) as a fast and frugal heuristic for decisions under risk. According to the PH, individuals do not make trade-offs between gains and probabilities, as proposed by expected ...

Advanced Robotics Research, EarlyView.WorMa is an amphibious undulatory robot that uses Center of Mass redistribution as the sole terrain adaptation mechanism. This mechanism is based on internal fluid mass redistribution through a pump‐driven latex balloon system that creates three profiles: head‐biased, balanced, and tail‐biased.

A three-stage intelligent decision framework for post-disaster search and rescue open-loop routing
Operations Research PerspectivesSearch and Rescue (SAR) path planning is critical in post-disaster scenarios with road damage and noisy demand information. This paper proposes a dynamic post-disaster SAR path planning model that comprehensively considers road damage severity, casualty ...

An improved priority heuristic for the fixed guillotine rectangular packing problem
Journal of Physics: Conference Series, 2020 Abstract An improved priority heuristic (IPH) is presented for the guillotine rectangular packing problem with a fixed orientation constraint. This algorithm can continuously divide the remaining space into blocks and recursively layout the entire space by filling each current block.

Integrating Ecology and Economics in Agent‐Based Models to Support Agricultural Policy
Advanced Science, EarlyView.Agent‐based models are valuable tools for studying social‐ecological systems in agriculture. This review maps how existing agent‐based models represent the human and natural domains of agriculture, and discusses developments in economic and ecological agent‐based modeling.
