2. A Learning-driven Approach for Behavior Modeling in Agent-based Simulation
Abstract : Agent-based simulation is a prominent application of the agent-based system metaphor. One of the main characteristics of this simulation paradigm is the generative nature of the outcome: the macro-level system behavior is generated from the micro-level agent behavior. READ MORE

5. Fracture behaviour of Green Wood (Pinus Sylvestris L.) : a composite materials approach
Abstract : The fracture behaviour of green wood has been investigated using a composite materials approach. Through fracture experiments on miniature specimens, it was found that drying of wood leads to damage not only on the macro-level but also at the scale of the cell wall. READ MORE
