As there are many approaches to bio-crude modelling, the novelty of this method lies in the combination of the minimization of the number of components needed and the minimization of the level of artificiality introduced in the system.
On the side, he's the man behind the Instagram account @chiliphilly where he models the novelty crochet hats he makes and has over 140k followers.
Apart from the usage of a high-dimensional discrete model, the second novelty of the paper is the simulation of articulatory tremor.
In our model, this "novelty map", which is the size of the complete image, indicates whether locations in the scene have been previously inspected and mediates IOR in the search scan path by contributing an excitatory bias to the competition in the parietal module.
The model proposed has the novelty of integrating the three dimensions through the use of easy-to-read ternary diagrams allowing the identification of the "best domains" of each technological alternative.
Several approaches can be taken to model the generation of novelty in jaw structures and for this project we chose a simple genetic model.
Although the model emphasizes novelty itself as the key cognitive signal to modulate dopamine from the SN/VTA, it also explicitly raises the question how motivational factors regulate the impact of novelty on the activity of the hippocampus and the SN/VTA.
We are not claiming that ours is the first bottom-up model of mtDNA dynamics; the novelty we claim is in the combination of our analytic progress (including features like explicit results for heteroplasmy variance with time) with the variety of possible replication and partitioning dynamics that we include.
In modeling of energy devices, the novelty is that the entire available size ranges and the variation of their efficiencies, capital and operation and maintenance costs with sizes are considered.
The final model included novelty seeking score as the dependent variable, animal identity as the subject variable and age, site, test year nested within site, and age × site interaction as fixed factors.
