Informational parasites in code evolution
(2015-05-01)In a previous study, we considered an information-theoretic model of code evolution. In it, agents obtain information about their (common) environment by the perception of messages of other agents, which is determined by ... -
An informational perspective on how the embodiment can relieve cognitive burden
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2011)Living organisms are under permanent pressure to take decisions with an impact on their success. Such decisions require information, which can be formulated in the precise sense of Shannon information. Since information ... -
Informational Principles of Perception-Action Loops and Collective Behaviours
(2011-01-20)Living beings, robotic and software artefacts can all be seen as agents acting and perceiving within an environment. When observed under that perspective, a new concept is accessible: information in the sense of Shannon. ... -
An informational study of the evolution of codes and of emerging concepts in populations of agents
(2016-05-13)We consider the problem of the evolution of a code within a structured population of agents. The agents try to maximise their information about their environment by acquiring information from the outputs of other agents ... -
An Informational Study of the Evolution of Codes in Different Population Structures
(MIT Press, 2014)We consider the problem of the evolution of a code within a structured population of agents. The agents try to maximise their information about their environment by acquiring information from the outputs of other agents ... -
Informing the Hertfordshire Food Poverty Needs Assessment: Household Experiences of Food Poverty and Support Service Provision in Hertfordshire
(University of Hertfordshire, 2021-08-27)Although the proportion of residents at a higher risk of experiencing food poverty in Hertfordshire is below the national average (15.8%), 10.3 per cent of residents are still at a high risk. ‘Food poverty’ is a visible ... -
Infrared and millimetre-wavelength evidence for cold accretion within a z = 2.83 Lyman-alpha blob
(2008)This paper discusses infrared and millimetre-wavelength observations of a Lyman alpha blob (LAB) discovered by Smith & Jarvis, a candidate for ionization by the cold accretion scenario discussed in Fardal et al. and Dijkstra ... -
Infrared and optical polarimetry of AM Herculis
(1984)Circular polarization observations of AM Herculis have been obtained at wavelengths from 0.55 micron (V) to 2.2 micron (K) using a simultaneous three-channel polarimeter. Polarizations of up to 20 per cent were observed ... -
Infrared and optical polarization of Markarian-421
(1981)Observations of the polarization of Mrk 421 in the V, J, and K bands are presented. The infrared radiation shows variable polarization with a range of at least 2-4%. The spectrum of the nonthermal source in the VJK regions ... -
Infrared dark cloud cores in the SCUBA Legacy Catalogue
(2009)We present an investigation of candidate infrared dark cloud (IRDC) cores as identified by Simon et al. located within the Submillimetre Common User Bolometer Array (SCUBA) Legacy Catalogue. After applying a uniform noise ... -
An infrared desert dust index for the Along-Track Scanning Radiometers
(2012)A new aerosol index for the Along-Track Scanning Radiometers (ATSRs) is presented that provides a means to detect desert dust contamination in infrared SST retrievals. The ATSR Saharan dust index (ASDI) utilises only the ... -
Infrared emission of young HII regions: a Herschel/Hi-GAL study
(2015-07-30)Context. Investigating the relationship between radio and infrared emission of Hii regions may help shed light on the nature of the ionizing stars and the formation mechanism of early-type stars in general. Aims: We have ... -

Infrared Mn I laboratory oscillator strengths for the study of late type stars and ultracool dwarfs
(2011)Aims: The aim of our new laboratory measurements is to measure accurate absolute oscillator strengths for neutral manganese transitions in the infrared needed for the study of late-type stars and ultracool dwarfs. Methods: ...
