Continuing this exploration, this research project investigates the use of diffuse gas modulation in an area for which NO is known to perform a regulatory role, that of synaptic plasticity. I investigate possible mechanisms with two connectionist models, each based on a hypothesis arising from the infant studies. Both these models recreate a trend of increasing sensitivity to correlation information exhibited in infants. A further effect is identified, in which response to correlation varies with similarity between feature types. Explanations are offered for the failure to capture the intermediate performance loss exhibited in infants, and the implications for further investigations are presented.
Speciation is the mechanism by which different species are created from the same ancestral species.
With sympatric speciation, species arise from the same ancestral species but without the geographic isolation. Next, each of these approaches is evaluated on its utility in evolving a team of predators meant to capture a fleeing prey. This new approach betters all other heterogeneous approaches studied by applying selection at multiple levels. Within the 'data physics' structures can maintain themselves only through meeting users' requirements, but are otherwise free to explore and exploit a broad range of the strategies seen in natural multi-agent systems in order to achieve survival. Here we propose a framework how ant algorithms can be used in dynamic vehicle scheduling.
