Measuring cross-section data for prompt gammas emitted during proton-nucleus collisions by Ramanathan, Vijitha

“…The second part of this work was to model the AFRODITE detector system using the Geant4 Monte-Carlo radiation transport code in order to compare the simulated to the measured results and to evaluate the previously observed discrepancies for prompt gamma production in the Geant4 code.…”

Modelling the mesoscale variability in the greater Agulhas Current system using hybrid coordinate Ocean model by Backeberg, Bjorn Christoph

“…In two 11 year simulation experiments, the effect of a higher order momentum advection scheme on the simulated ocean dynamics is tested and evaluated against available satellite observations and in-situ measurements. …”

Aspects of Bayesian inference, classification and anomaly detection by Roberts, Ethan

“…We discuss approximations to speed up BADAC, such as the use of Gaussian processes, and finally introduce a new metric, the Rank-Weighted Score (RWS), that is particularly suited to evaluating an algorithm's ability to detect anomalies. …”

Rapid acceleration of legged robots: a pneumatic approach by Van Zyl, Joshua

“…This was done to develop accurate models of the pneumatic system that were later used in simulation to aid in the design of the platform. The design of the platform was aided through the use of Simulink to conduct iterative testing and multivariate evaluations using Monte Carlo simulation methods. …”

Domestic wheat demand in a deregulated environment: modeling the importance of quality characteristics by Edwards, Lawrence James

“…Using these prices, the response in demand for wheat to a number of market scenarios such as regional production variations, regional price variations and quality characteristic variations, are simulated. The results of the simulations suggest that a tariff of 66% as proposed by the Wheat Forum in 1994 overprotects the industry and will lead to substantial increases in bread prices. …”

Exploring the impact of novelty and objective-directed evolution in company with MAP-Elites and HyperNEAT by Breytenbach, Jeremy

“…MAP-Elites is referred to as an illumination algorithm because by retaining these elite agents in the population, we expect to increase the chances of exploring and thus illuminating novel, yet potentially high-performing regions of the search space. To evaluate these methods, we use Keep-away, a simulated collective robotics task within the RoboCup football framework as a case study. …”

The dynamic interaction of land use and transport in a highly fragmented city: the case of Cape Town, South Africa by Moyo, Hazvinei Tsitsi Tamuka

“…The integration of the transport and land use model through accessibility improved the Kappa Simulation and Fuzzy Kappa Simulation. This showed that the model explained urban change better when land use and transport interacted compared to an independent land use model. …”
