Modeling the Mutation and Competition of Certain Nutrient-Producing Protocells by Means of Specific Turing Machines.

It is very important to model the behavior of protocells as basic lifelike artificial organisms more and more accurately from the level of genomes to the level of populations. A better understanding of basic protocell communities may help us in describing more complex ecological systems accurately. In this article, we propose a new comprehensive, bilevel mathematical model of a community of three protocell species (one generalist and two specialists).

Multiple linear regression based model for the indoor temperature of mobile containers.

It is important to work out precise and easy-to-use mathematical models to predict the indoor temperature in buildings for human residence. Such models can support model-based/predictive controls to efficiently maintain the temperature at a comfortable level. Accordingly, as main contribution, the paper proposes a new, easy-to-use, black-box type, multiple linear regression (MLR) based model for the indoor temperature of mobile (office) containers.

Game-theoretical model for the sustainable use of thermal water resources: the case of Ischia volcanic Island (Italy).

The Island of Ischia, one of the Italian active volcanoes, is a famous tourist resort for spa treatments. Spas are supplied by withdrawals from groundwaters which are characterized by a wide range of chemical compositions, salinity and temperature. In natural conditions, the hydrogeological system is recharged by rainfall and by deep fluids; the discharge is towards the sea and the springs.
