Beach Management Practices and Occupation Dynamics: An Agent-Based Modeling Study for the Coastal Town of Nags Head, NC, USA
(SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 2018-01-01)
The analysis of interactions between human and natural systems is crucial for sound beach management practices. Those interactions can be simulated via agent-based modeling. Nevertheless, more work is needed to identify ...
Using occupancy models to assess the direct and indirect impacts of agricultural expansion on species’ populations
(Springer, 2020-08)
Land-use change is a global threat to biodiversity, but how land-use change affects species beyond the direct effect of habitat loss remains poorly understood. We developed an approach to isolate and map the direct and ...
New insights on bioindicator value of Chironomids by using occupancy modelling
(Elsevier Science, 2020-10)
The use of bioindicators requires environmental information and a detailed knowledge of the biota to which it is assign a sensitivity value. The objective of this work was assessing the sensitivity of chironomids to several ...
Multisite Occupancy Adsorption: Comparative Study of New Different Analytical Approaches
(American Chemical Society, 2003-07)
The adsorption of dimers on honeycomb, square, and triangular lattices is studied by combining theoretical modeling and Monte Carlo simulations in canonical and grand canonical ensembles. The adsorption thermodynamics is ...
Assessing the sensitivity of leeches as indicators of water quality
(Elsevier B.V., 2018-05)
The objective of this work was assessing the sensitivity of leeches to several water quality attributes in lowlands streams. We used occupancy modelling that account explicitly for detectability, to estimate the influence ...
Occupational Choice with Endogenous Spillovers
(Oxford University Press, 2019-07)
We study a model that integrates productive and socialising efforts with occupational choice, and endogenous spillovers. We show that more talented individuals work harder and contribute more to externalities, but also ...
Behavioral and Physical Factors Influencing Energy Building Performances in Mediterranean Climate
(2015-11-01)
The residential sector is used to test the relative roles of socioeconomic and behavioral variables of occupants as compared with the climate and physical building characteristics. The study is carried out considering a ...
Semiempirical model for adsorption of polyatomics
(American Chemical Society, 2006-03-04)
Multisite-occupancy adsorption is described by using a new formalism based on the occupation balance approximation (Romá, F.; Ramirez-Pastor, A. J.; Riccardo, J. L. J. Chem. Phys. 2001, 114, 10932). In this framework, the ...
Halo occupation distribution using photometric information and its application in the anisotropic halo model
(Institute of Physics Publishing, 2018-10)
The current paradigm assumes that galaxies are formed inside the halos of dark matter. However, a great diversity of astrophysical mechanisms are involved in the formation process, which makes it difficult to determine how ...
Configurational entropy in generalized lattice-gas models
(World Scientific, 2009-09)
In this review, we present our recent results concerning accurate calculations of configurational entropy in generalized lattice-gas models. The calculations are based on the use of the thermodynamic integration method. ...
