Balancing central control and sensory feedback produces adaptable and robust locomotor patterns in a spiking, neuromechanical model of the salamander spinal cord. by Alessandro Pazzaglia, Andrej Bicanski, Andrea Ferrario, Jonathan Arreguit, Dimitri Ryczko, Auke Ijspeert

“…The locomotor circuits, modeled as a spiking neural network of adaptive leaky integrate-and-fire neurons, are coupled to a three-dimensional mechanical model of a salamander with realistic physical parameters and simulated muscles. In open-loop simulations (i.e., without sensory feedback), the model replicates locomotor patterns observed in-vitro and in-vivo for swimming and trotting gaits. …”

Scenario Analyses of Land Use Conversion in the North China Plain: An Econometric Approach by Jinyan Zhan, Feng Wu, Chenchen Shi, Fan Zhang, Zhihui Li

“…In this research, we modified the net returns of each land use type for three scenarios, including business as usual (BAU) scenario, rapid economic growth (REG) scenario, and coordinated environmental sustainability (CES) scenario. The simulation results showed that, under different scenarios, future land use structures were different due to the competition among various land use types. …”
