Metagame analysis in card-based video games: balancing insights through genetic algorithms
… which digital collectible card games and deck-building games are particularly prominent. A recurrent issue within any game which partakes of these core mechanics is the emergence of overly potent strategies or card combinations. Such imbalances may culminate in the dominance of a restricted set …

Parameter Estimation of Structural Systems Possessing One or Two Nonlinear Normal Modes
… one or two nonlinear normal modes. We model the dynamics of these modes by second-order ordinary-differential equations based on the principles of mechanics, past experience, and engineering judgment. We perform a number of separate experiments on a two-mass structure using several different …

Influence of occupant's behaviour on indoor environmental quality and energy consumptions
Buildings are dynamic, and the interactions of operators, occupants, and designers all influence the way in which buildings will perform. At the core of this research is the belief that technical solutions alone are not sufficient to face great challenges of saving energy while still maintaining or …
