Intelligent agents as a modelling paradigm
Creators: name: Monu, Kafui
Publisher: name: University of British Columbia
Year: 2009

description: Intelligent software agents have been used in many applications because they provide useful integrated features that are not available in "traditional" types of software (e.g., abilities to sense the environment, reason, and interact with other agents). Although the usefulness of agents is in having such capabilities, methods and tools for developing them have focused on practical physical representation rather than accurate conceptualizations of these functions. Like other computer systems, intelligent agents usually represent some real world phenomena or environments. Consequently, intelligent agents should closely mimic aspects of the environment in which they operate. In the physical sciences, a conceptual model of a problem can lead to better theories and explanations about the area. Therefore, we ask how can an intelligent agent conceptual framework, properly defined, be used to model complex interactions in various social science disciplines? The constructs used in the implementation of intelligent agents may not be appropriate at the conceptual level, as they refer to software concepts rather than to application domain concepts. Therefore we propose to use a combination of the systems approach and Bunge's ontology as adapted to information systems, to guide us in defining intelligent agent concepts. The systems approach will be used to define the components of the intelligent agents. Once the components have been identified we will use ontology to understand the configurations, transitions, and interrelationships between the components. We will then provide a graphical representation of these concepts for modelling purposes. As a proof of concept for the proposed conceptual model, we apply it to a marketing problem and implement it in an agent-based programming environment called Netlogo. With the aid of the conceptual model, the user was able to quickly visualize the complex interactions of different agents. The use of the conceptual representation even sparked an investigation of previously neglected causal factors which led to a better understanding of the problem. The implications of these findings, and further research avenues, are also discussed. Since the proof of concept was successful, it can be said that we provide an intelligent agent framework that can graphically model phenomena in the social sciences. However, there are other contributions derived from the work, including; a theoretically driven concept of intelligent agent components, a way of showing the interrelationships between these concepts, and the foundation for an ontologically complete model of intelligent agents.

description: Based on the realistic nuclear force of the high-precision CD-Bonn potential, we have performed comprehensive calculations for neutron-rich calcium isotopes using the Gamow shell model (GSM) which includes resonance and continuum. The realistic GSM calculations produce well binding energies, one- and two-neutron separation energies, predicting that $^{57}$Ca is the heaviest bound odd isotope and $^{70}$Ca is the dripline nucleus. Resonant states are predicted, which provides useful information for future experiments on particle emissions in neutron-rich calcium isotopes. Shell evolutions in the calcium chain around neutron numbers \textit{N} = 32, 34 and 40 are understood by calculating effective single-particle energies, the excitation energies of the first $2^+$ states and two-neutron separation energies. The calculations support shell closures at $^{52}$Ca (\textit{N} = 32) and $^{54}$Ca (\textit{N} = 34) but show a weakening of shell closure at $^{60}$Ca (\textit{N} = 40). The possible shell closure at $^{70}$Ca (\textit{N} = 50) is predicted.

description: We analyze the topological properties of a chiral ${p}+i{p}$ superconductor for a two-dimensional metal/semimetal with four Dirac points. Such a system has been proposed to realize second-order topological superconductivity and host corner Majorana modes. We show that with an additional $\mathsf{C}_4$ rotational symmetry, the system is in an intrinsic higher-order topological superconductor phase, and with a lower and more natural $\mathsf{C}_2$ symmetry, is in a boundary-obstructed topological superconductor phase. The boundary topological obstruction is protected by a bulk Wannier gap. However, we show that the well-known nested-Wilson loop is in general unquantized despite the particle-hole symmetry, and thus fails as a topological invariant. Instead, we show that the higher-order topology and boundary-obstructed topology can be characterized using an alternative defect classification approach, in which the corners of a finite sample is treated as a defect of a space-filling Hamiltonian. We establish "Dirac+$({p}+i{p})$" as a sufficient condition for second-order topological superconductivity.

description: We investigate the environment and line of sight of the H0LiCOW lens B1608+656 using Subaru Suprime-Cam and the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to perform a weak lensing analysis. We compare three different methods to reconstruct the mass map of the field, i.e. the standard Kaiser-Squires inversion coupled with inpainting and Gaussian or wavelet filtering, and $\tt{Glimpse}$ a method based on sparse regularization of the shear field. We find no substantial difference between the 2D mass reconstructions, but we find that the ground-based data is less sensitive to small-scale structures than the space-based observations. Marginalising over the results obtained with all the reconstruction techniques applied to the two available HST filters F606W and F814W, we estimate the external convergence, $κ_{\rm ext}$ at the position of B1608+656 is $κ_{\rm ext} = 0.11^{+0.06}_{-0.04}$, where the error bars corresponds respectively to the 16th and 84th quartiles. This result is compatible with previous estimates using the number-counts technique, suggesting that B1608+656 resides in an over-dense line of sight, but with a completely different technique. Using our mass reconstructions, we also compare the convergence at the position of several groups of galaxies in the field of B1608+656 with the mass measurements using various analytical mass profiles, and find that the weak lensing results favor truncated halo models.

description: We show the presence of genuine quantum structures in human language. The neo-Darwinian evolutionary scheme is founded on a probability structure that satisfies the Kolmogorovian axioms, and as a consequence cannot incorporate quantum-like evolutionary change. In earlier research we revealed quantum structures in processes taking place in conceptual space. We argue that the presence of quantum structures in language and the earlier detected quantum structures in conceptual change make the neo-Darwinian evolutionary scheme strictly too limited for Evolutionary Epistemology. We sketch how we believe that evolution in a more general way should be implemented in epistemology and conceptual change, but also in biology, and how this view would lead to another relation between both biology and epistemology.

description: June's grandfather came from Mold, North Wales, and in civilian life was a stonemason who worked on Chester Cathedral. He was a pacifist who was unwilling to fulfil a military role which might have involved killing, so he served as a stretcher bearer in the Cheshire Regiment. He was 23 years old when he enlisted and June's grandmother was 29 years old when they married. During his wartime service he had two regimental numbers. It is unclear whether this was because he transferred between units or whether it was the result of renumbering (there was an extensive renumbering of the Territorial Battalions). It is possible he served in the Yeomanry (unit unknown) and he may have been "in Palestine".

description: A jelenlegi törvényi szabályozást figyelembe véve, célunk volt vizsgálni a biogázüzemek mérethatárát és a hozzá tartozó elektromos teljesítményt, amely már gazdaságossá teszi a biogáz hasznosítást. Ennek érdekében különböző méretű, Németországban működő modellüzemek gazdaságosságát hasonlítottuk össze, a magyarországi működési költségeket és bevételeket alapul véve. A Villamos¬energia Törvény módosítása után a megújulókból termelt elektromos áram kiinduló átvételi ára 23 Ft/kWh. A törvény 2010-ig garantálja az elektromos áram átvételi árát. Ez nem teszi lehetővé a beruházások hosszú távú biztos tervezhetőségét. A biogázüzemek gazdaságosságát, a garantált átvételi áron túl, még a fermentáció során felhasznált anyagok beszerzési ára is meghatározza. Dinamikus gazdaságossági mutatókat alkalmazva jutottunk arra az eredményre, amely szerint a biogáztermelés 500 kW elektromos teljesítmény felett már hazánkban is gazdaságos lehet. Az ennél kisebb teljesítményű vizsgált üzemek (100 és 300 kW) a magas beruházási költségek és az arányaiban alacsonyabb jövedelmek miatt nem nyereségesek. ------------------------------------ In the light of current legal regulations it was our aim to examine the size limits and associated electrical output of biogas plants, which make biogas production economically efficient. To this end we compared the economic efficiency of different sized model plants in Germany, taking into account Hungarian operational costs and income. Following the amendment of the Electric Power Law, the starting delivery price of electric current produced from renewed plants is 23 Ft/kWh. The law guarantees the delivery price of electric current until 2010. This does make the long-term, secure planning of investments possible. Beyond a guaranteed delivery price, the economic efficiency of biogas plants is also determined by the cost price of materials used in the fermentation process. Using dynamic economic efficiency indicators we arrived at the conclusion that biogas production could be economically efficient in Hungary above a 500 kW electrical output. Plants with smaller outputs (100 and 300 kW), which were examined, were found to be unprofitable due to high investment costs and relatively low income streams.

description: Memristive devices have drawn considerable research attention due to their potential applications in non-volatile memory and neuromorphic computing. The combination of resistive switching devices with light-responsive materials is considered a novel way to integrate optical information with electrical circuitry. On the other hand, 2D materials have attracted substantial consideration thank to their unique crystal structure, as reflected in their chemical and physical properties. Although not the major focus, van der Waals solids were proven to be potential candidates in memristive devices. In this scheme, the majority of the resistive switching devices were implemented on planar flakes, obtained by mechanical exfoliation. Here we utilize a facile and robust methodology to grow large-scale vertically aligned MoS$_2$ (VA-MoS$_2$) films on standard silicon substrates. Memristive devices with the structure silver/VA-MoS$_2$/Si are shown to have low set-ON voltages (<0.5V), large-retention times ($>2\times10^4$ s) and high thermal stability (up to 350 $^\circ$C). The proposed memristive device also exhibits long term potentiation / depression (LTP/LTD) and photo-active memory states. The large-scale fabrication, together with the low operating voltages, high thermal stability, light-responsive behaviour and long-term potentiation/depression, makes this approach very appealing for real-life non-volatile memory applications.

By using a likelihood analysis, 26 of the 40 sources showed significant gamma-ray signatures $\geq3σ$. Using high-energy test statistics (TS) maps, we confirm 8 sources, which are completely new, and show another 15 promising $γ$-ray candidates. The results from this analysis show that a multi-frequency approach can help to improve the current description of the gamma-ray sky.

description: Arrays of identical oscillators can display a remarkable spatiotemporal pattern in which phase-locked oscillators coexist with drifting ones. Discovered two years ago, such "chimera states" are believed to be impossible for locally or globally coupled systems; they are peculiar to the intermediate case of nonlocal coupling. Here we present an exact solution for this state, for a ring of phase oscillators coupled by a cosine kernel. We show that the stable chimera state bifurcates from a spatially modulated drift state, and dies in a saddle-node bifurcation with an unstable chimera.

description: Using the framework of the Chromo Dielectric Model we perform an analysis of color electric flux tubes in meson-like $q\bar{q}$ and baryon-like $qqq$ quark configurations. We discuss the Abelian color structure of the model and point out a symmetry in color space as a remnant of the SU(3) symmetry of QCD. The generic features of the model are discussed by varying the model parameters. We fix these parameters by reproducing the string tension $τ=980 $MeV/fm and the transverse width $ρ=0.35 $fm of the $q\bar{q}$ flux tube obtained in lattice calculations. We use a bag constant $B^{1/4}=(240-260) $MeV, a glueball mass $m_g = (1000-1700) $MeV and a strong coupling constant $C_F α_s = 0.2-0.3$. We show that the asymptotic string profile of an infinitely long flux tube is already reached for $q\bar{q}$ separations $R\ge1.0 $fm. A connection to the Dual Color Superconductor is made by extracting a magnetic current from the model equations and a qualitative agreement between the two descriptions of confinement is shown. In the study of the $qqq$ system we observe a $\mathsfΔ$-like geometry for the color electric fields and a \textsf{Y}-like geometry in the scalar fields both in the energy density distribution and in the corresponding potentials. The resulting total $qqq$ potential is described neither by the $\mathsfΔ$-picture nor by the \textsf{Y}-picture alone.

description: We use the optimized perturbation theory, or linear delta expansion, to evaluate the critical exponents in the critical 3d O(N) invariant scalar field model. Regarding the implementation procedure, this is the first successful attempt to use the method in this type of evaluation. We present and discuss all the associated subtleties producing a prescription which can, in principle, be extended to higher orders in a consistent way. Numerically, our approach, taken at the lowest nontrivial order (second order) in the delta expansion produces a modest improvement in comparison to mean field values for the anomalous dimension eta and correlation length nu critical exponents. However, it nevertheless points to the right direction of the values obtained with other methods, like the epsilon-expansion. We discuss the possibilities of improving over our lowest order results and on the convergence to the known values when extending the method to higher orders.

description: This project is a design of a winery and vineyard on Quadra Island, British Columbia. A precedent study of 2 vineyards and a site suitability study including soil, vegetation and shadow studies were conducted to determine the feasibility of wine production on the site. These studies also informed the placement of agricultural and built components on the site. The concept based upon tectonics (or structure) and the immersion into the working environment, guided the organization of site characteristics. The goal of this project was to design a landscape that can evolve through time while supporting the residents of the site. A winery and vineyard have the capacity to fill various niches. They can become an integral place within a community where private property can be welcoming and occupiable by the public.

description: Composite Higgs models can be extended to the Planck scale by means of the partially unified partial compositeness (PUPC) framework. We present in detail the Techni-Pati-Salam model, based on a renormalizable gauge theory $SU(8)_{PS}\times SU(2)_L\times SU(2)_R$. We demonstrate that masses and mixings for all generations of standard model fermions can be obtained via partial compositeness at low energy, with four-fermion operators mediated by either heavy gauge bosons or scalars. The strong dynamics is predicted to be that of a confining $Sp(4)_{\rm HC}$ gauge group, with hyper-fermions in the fundamental and two-index anti-symmetric representations, with fixed multiplicities. This motivates for Lattice studies of the Infra-Red near-conformal walking phase, with results that may validate or rule out the model. This is the first complete and realistic attempt at providing an Ultra-Violet completion for composite Higgs models with top partial compositeness. In the baryon-number conserving vacuum, the theory also predicts a Dark Matter candidate, with mass in the few TeV range, protected by semi-integer baryon number.

description: The conditions for zero-energy Andreev surface bound states to exist are found for the lattice model of d-wave superconductor with arbitrary surface orientation. Both nearest neighbors and next nearest neighbors models are considered. It is shown that the results are very sensitive to the surface orientation. In particular, for half-filled $(hl0)$-surface zero-energy Andreev surface states only appear under the condition that $h$ and $l$ are odd simultaneously

description: The detectability of exoplanets and the determination of their projected mass in radial velocity are affected by stellar magnetic activity and photospheric dynamics. The effect of granulation, and even more so of supergranulation, has been shown to be significant in the solar case. Our study is aimed at quantifying the impact of these flows for other stars and estimating how such contributions affect their performance. We analysed a broad array of extended synthetic time series that model these processes for main sequence stars with spectral types from F6 to K4, focusing on Earth-mass planets orbiting within the habitable zone around those stars. We estimated the expected detection rates and detection limits, and performed blind tests. We find that both granulation and supergranulation on these stars significantly affect planet mass characterisation in radial velocity when performing a follow-up of a transit detection, with uncertainties sometimes below 20% for a 1 MEarth, but much larger for supergranulation. For granulation and low levels of supergranulation, the detection rates are good for K and late G stars (if the number of points is large), but poor for more massive stars. The highest level of supergranulation leads to a very poor performance, even for K stars; this is both due to low detection rates and to high levels of false positives, even for a very dense temporal sampling over ten years. False positive levels estimated from standard false alarm probabilities sometimes significantly overestimate or underestimate the true level, depending on the number of points. We conclude that granulation and supergranulation significantly affect the performance of exoplanet detectability. Future works will focus on improving the following aspects: decreasing the number of false positives, increasing detection rates, and improving the false alarm probability estimations from observations.

description: Suppose that M is a fibered three-manifold whose fiber is a surface of positive genus with one boundary component. Assume that M is not a semi-bundle. We show that infinitely many fillings of M along dM are virtually Haken. It follows that infinitely many Dehn-surgeries of any non-trivial knot in the three-sphere are virtually Haken.

description: Optical harmonic generation on excitons is found in ZnSe/BeTe quantum wells with type-II band alignment. Two experimental approaches with spectrally-broad femtosecond laser pulses and spectrally-narrow picosecond pulses are used for spectroscopic studies by means of second and third harmonic generation (SHG and THG). The SHG signal is symmetry-forbidden for light propagation along the structure's growth axis, which is the [001] crystal axis, but can be induced by an external magnetic field. The THG signal is detected at zero magnetic field and its intensity is field independent. A group theory analysis of SHG and THG rotational anisotropy diagrams allows us to identify the involved excitation mechanisms.

description: Thermodynamics is a macroscopic physical theory whose two very general laws are independent of any underlying dynamical laws and structures. Nevertheless, its generality enables us to understand a broad spectrum of phenomena in physics, information science and biology. Recently, it has been realised that information storage and processing based on quantum mechanics can be much more efficient than their classical counterpart. What general bound on storage of quantum information does thermodynamics imply? We show that thermodynamics implies a weaker bound than the quantum mechanical one (the Holevo bound). In other words, if any post-quantum physics should allow more information storage it could still be under the umbrella of thermodynamics.

description: Cooperative principles represent one of the three elements of cooperative identity. In their current form, they have existed since 1995, when they were adopted by the International Cooperative Alliance, and they represent a recommendation to cooperatives around the world on how to organize their business. Adherence to these recommendations in everyday business practice of cooperatives is extremely challenging. In fact, there is a consensus in the literature that deviation from cooperative principles is inevitable. The paper analyzes the experiences of the Republic of Serbia in the implementation of cooperative principles from time of the first cooperatives until today, with special emphasis on agricultural cooperatives. The aim of this paper is to examine the extent to which cooperative principles are respected in the business of cooperatives in Serbia, what factors led to deviations from these recommendations and what consequences this had on the success of these organizations. The paper presents a synergy of theoretical consideration of the problem and examination of experiences of agricultural cooperatives in Serbia in the implementation of cooperative principles. Conducted research indicate that during the development of cooperatives, different levels of deviations from cooperative principles in the practice of agricultural cooperatives were recorded, from very mild to extremely significant deviations that led to the suppression of true cooperative nature. Modern cooperative practice in Serbia is marked by a low level of knowledge of the elements of cooperative identity by the members and management of cooperatives, which further stipulates the posibility of their implementation in practice.

description: Surgical skill assessment is important for surgery training and quality control. Prior works on this task largely focus on basic surgical tasks such as suturing and knot tying performed in simulation settings. In contrast, surgical skill assessment is studied in this paper on a real clinical dataset, which consists of fifty-seven in-vivo laparoscopic surgeries and corresponding skill scores annotated by six surgeons. From analyses on this dataset, the clearness of operating field (COF) is identified as a good proxy for overall surgical skills, given its strong correlation with overall skills and high inter-annotator consistency. Then an objective and automated framework based on neural network is proposed to predict surgical skills through the proxy of COF. The neural network is jointly trained with a supervised regression loss and an unsupervised rank loss. In experiments, the proposed method achieves 0.55 Spearman's correlation with the ground truth of overall technical skill, which is even comparable with the human performance of junior surgeons.

description: Observations of the nearby starburst galaxy NGC 253 in the 21-cm line reveal the presence of neutral hydrogen in the halo, up to 12 kpc from the galactic plane. This extra-planar HI is found only in one half of the galaxy and is concentrated in a half-ring structure and plumes which are lagging in rotation with respect to the disk. The HI plumes are seen bordering the bright Halpha and X-ray halo emission. It is likely that, as proposed earlier for the Halpha and the X-rays, also the origin of the extra-planar HI is related to the central starburst and to the active star formation in the disk. A minor merger and gas accretion are also discussed as possible explanations. The HI disk is less extended than the stellar disk. This may be the result of ionization of its outer parts or, alternatively, of tidal or ram pressure stripping.

description: Computer simulations of model systems are widely used to explore striking phenomena in promising applications spanning from physics, chemistry, biology, to materials science and engineering. The long range electrostatic interactions between charged particles constitute a prominent factor in determining structures and states of model systems. How to efficiently calculate electrostatic interactions in model systems subjected to partial or full periodic boundary conditions has been a grand challenging task. In the past decades, a large variety of computational schemes have been proposed, among which the Ewald summation method is the most reliable route to accurately deal with electrostatic interactions in model systems. In addition, extensive effort has been done to improve computational efficiency of the Ewald summation based methods. Representative examples are approaches based on cutoffs, reaction fields, multi-poles, multi-grids, and particle-mesh schemes. We sketched an ENUF method, an abbreviation for the Ewald summation method based on Non-Uniform fast Fourier transform technique, and have implemented this method in particle-based simulation packages to calculate electrostatic energies and forces at micro- and mesoscopic levels. Extensive computational studies of conformational properties of polyelectrolytes, dendrimer-membrane complexes, and ionic fluids demonstrated that the ENUF method and its derivatives conserve both energy and momentum to floating point accuracy, and exhibit a computational complexity of $\mathcal{O}(N\log N)$ with optimal physical parameters. These ENUF based methods are attractive alternatives in molecular simulations where high accuracy and efficiency of simulation methods are needed to accelerate calculations of electrostatic interactions at extended spatiotemporal scales.
