Development and application of the CL&Pol polarisable force field for ionic liquid-based electrolytes by Wilson, Tayla Lee

“…The appeal of ILs for such applications lies in the favourable properties, such as high diffusivity, thermal and electrochemical stability, and low volatility. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulation is a powerful tool for studying the physical properties of liquids; however, whereas traditional solvents are typically well described using classical, fixed-charge force fields (FFs), explicit inclusion of polarisation is essential for accurate description of IL dynamics. …”

Spatialised ecosystem modelling to evaluate the influences of marine protected areas and provisioning ecotourism on the foraging and distributional response of top predators from M... by Grusd, Samantha Paige

“…The Ecopath with Ecosim (EwE) and Ecospace modelling framework was utilised to investigate the distributional response of sharks and top predators on the South-East coast to the introduction of two new MPAs (in 2019) and seasonal provisioning for shark cage diving (in 2020), over a 35-year simulation period. A mass-balance Ecopath model was designed and parameterised for the 2008–2018 data period as a foundation for the spatial Ecospace models. …”

Systems modelling of the South African offshore demersal hake trawl fishery : an economic perspective by Cooper, Rachel

“…In order to address this need, this study's aims are to i) analyse the structure and dynamics of the economics of the South African offshore demersal hake trawl fishery from empirical data and stakeholder interviews, and ii) produce a prototype economic simulation model of this fishery to better understand the dynamics of the industry and the relative importance of its internal and external drivers, e.g. industrial organization, environmental uncertainty, exchange rate and fuel price. …”
