Neuroevolusjon, spesielt Neuroevolution of Augmenting Topologies (NEAT), har lovende potensial innen videospill for utvikling av dynamiske og engasjerende kunstige motstandere. Dens innvirkning på spill-opplevelsen ble ...

This paper looks beyond more traditional evaluation activities to focus primarily on evaluation up front. It suggests that the early appraisal of an investment case or a project should apply essentially the same evaluation ...

Cytokiner er små signalmolekyler som er viktige i kommunikasjonen mellom celler og i reguleringen av immunresponser [1]. Produksjonen av cytokiner er nøye kontrollert, og det er mange signalkaskader som ender med syntetisering ...

Background Metabolic syndrome substantially increases risk of cardiovascular events. It is therefore imperative to develop or optimize ways to prevent or attenuate this condition. Exercise training has been long recognized ...

Miller and Modigliani’s Dividend irrelevance theory claims that investors are indifferent to the dividend policy of a company, assuming perfect capital markets. This implies that the exdividend day stock price should ...

We consider both exact and heuristic solution approaches, which are described, implemented, and evaluated. Most effort is given to a column generation method and a hybrid genetic algorithm with diversity management.

Permeation of compounds through membranes is important in biological and engineering processes, e.g., drug delivery through lipid bilayers, anesthetics, or chemical reactor design. Simulations at the atomic scale can provide ...

This paper studies the problem of creating an optimal flight schedule for a heterogeneous fleet of helicopters tasked with transporting personnel to, from, and between offshore installations. The problem can be modelled ...

We present a general approach for Monte Carlo computation of conditional expectations of the form E[(T)|S = s] given a sufficient statistic S. The idea of the method was first introduced by Lillegård and Engen [4], and has ...

In the present work the synthetic clay mineral fluorohectorite was studied by means of an extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) in a powder sample with the intention to observe the number of neighboring atoms ...
