Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games. In Artificial Life XI 2008 (9-16)

Iterated cooperation games (e.g. Prisoner’s Dilemma) are used to analyze the emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals. Uncertainty of outcomes of games is an important factor that influences the level of cooperation. Communica... Read More about Uncertainty and communication complexity in iterated cooperation games.

Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK (2008)
Journal Article
Hinks, J., Bush, J., Andras, P., Garratt, J., Pigott, G., Kennedy, A., & Pless-Mulloli, T. (2009). Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK. Science of the Total Environment, 407(4), 1299-1306. https://d

This study examined how groups representing four tiers in the chemical supply chain (manufacturers, vendors, workers and consumers) understood safety information, and the factors that influenced disposal behaviour. Data from seven, semi-structured, f... Read More about Views on chemical safety information and influences on chemical disposal behaviour in the UK.

Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Andras, P. (2008). Uncertainty in iterated cooperation games. In 2008 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (IEEE World Congress on Computational Intelligence) (593-599). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2008.4630856

The emergence and evolution of cooperation among selfish individuals is a key question of theoretical biology. Uncertainty of outcomes of interactions between individuals is an important determinant of cooperative behavior. Here we describe a model t...

Unsupervised segmentation of cell nuclei using geometric models (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Fitch, S., Jackson, T., Andras, P., & Robson, C. (2008). Unsupervised segmentation of cell nuclei using geometric models. In 2008 5th IEEE International Symposium on Biomedical Imaging: From Nano to Macro (728-731). https://doi.org/10.1109/ISBI.2008.4541

Fluorescent microscopy of biological samples allows non-invasive screening of specific molecular events in-situ. This approach is useful for investigating intricate signalling pathways and in the drug discovery process. The large volumes of data invo...

Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). Stimulating revolutionary science with mega-cash prizes. Medical Hypotheses, 70(4), 709-713. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.mehy.2008.01.001

We argue that the most ambitious science is intrinsically riskier science, more likely to fail. It is almost always a safer career strategy for the best scientists to seek to extend knowledge more modestly and to build incrementally on existing ideas...

‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA (2008)
Journal Article
Charlton, B. G., & Andras, P. (2008). ‘Down-shifting’ among top UK scientists? – The decline of ‘revolutionary science’ and the rise of ‘normal science’ in the UK compared with the USA. Medical Hypotheses, 70(3), 465-472. https://doi.org/10.

It is sometimes asserted that UK science is thriving, at other times that it has declined. We suggest that both assertions are partly true because the UK is thriving with respect to the volume of ‘normal’ science production but at the same time decli...

Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments (2008)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Parkin, S. E., Andras, P., & Morgan, G. (2008). Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments. In 2007 IEEE Congress on Evolutionary Computation (1390-1397). https://doi.org/10.1109/CEC.2007.4424633

In a distributed virtual environment interest management schemes attempt to ensure virtual world objects exchange messages only if they are interacting. This provides an opportunity to allow such systems to scale to support many hundreds, even thousa... Read More about Evolutionary optimization of parameters for distributed virtual environments.
