Emergence and Collapse of Peace with Friend Selection Strategies
No full textA society consisting of agents who can freely choose to attack or not to attack others inevitably evolves into a battling society (a \'war of all against all\'). We investigated whether strategies based on C. Schmitt\'s concept of the political, the distinction of a friend and an enemy, lead to the emergence and collapse of social order. Especially, we propose \'friend selection strategies\' (FSSs), one of which we called the \'us-TFT\' (tit for tat) strategy, which requires an agent to regard one who did not attack him or his \'friends\' as a \'friend\'. We carried out evolutionary simulations on an artificial society consisting of FSS agents. As a result, we found that the us-TFT results in a peaceful society with the emergence of an us-TFT community. In addition, we found that the collapse of a peaceful society is triggered by another FSS strategy called a \'coward\'.Community, Carl Schmitt, a Friend and an Enemy, Tit for Tat, Coward, Evolutionary Simulation
Sixth international annual seminar : short minutes
No full textInternational audienceThe 1996's annual AMHY-FRIEND Group meeting was focussed on a last debate around the different AMHY contributions to the on-going four-year (1994-97) General FRIEND Report and to the connected FRIEND General Conference (Postojna, 1997). It was also the occasion to launch the Erosion and Solid Transport, launching waited since a long time. This short report displays the up-dated information needed for AMHY (programmes, staffs, directory, etc...). It doesn't present, this year, scientific communications, due to the priority given for the four-year publication tasks.La réunion annuelle 1996 du Groupe AMHY de FRIEND a surtout été l'occasion d'un dernier débat sur les contributions du Groupe au trés prochain rapport quadriennal (1994-97) de FRIEND et à la Conférence correspondante (Postojna, 1997). Elle a en outre été l'occasion d'enfin lancer le thème Erosion et Transport Solide, attendu de longue date. Ce petit rapport actualise des informations utiles et nécessaires (programmes, animation, répertoire, etc...), mais ne contient cette fois pas de communications scientifiques sensu stricto, la priorité ayant du être donnée aux publications des documents quadriennaux

Bio-dependent bed parameters as a proxy tool for sediment stability in mixed habitat intertidal areas
No full textThe stability of cohesive and non-cohesive sediments in a mixed intertidal habitat within the Ria Formosa tidal lagoon, Portugal, was examined during two field campaigns as part of the EU F-ECTS project. The cohesive strength meter Mk III was used to determine critical erosion shear stress (c) within a variety of different intertidal habitats and substrata, including Spartina maritima fields and Zostera noltii beds. The best predictor(s) for c were derived from a range of properties measured for the surface sediments (chlorophyll a, colloidal carbohydrate, water, organic content, % fraction <63 m, and seabed elevation). Pigment biomarkers were used to identify the dominant algal groups within the surface phytobenthic assemblage.Strong, seasonally dependent relationships were found between c and habitat type, chl a, colloidal carbohydrate and bed elevation. Typically, critical erosion thresholds decreased seawards, reflecting a change from biostabilisation by cyanobacteria in the upper intertidal areas, to biostabilisation by diatoms on the bare substrata of the channel edges. In the late summer/early autumn, cyanobacteria were the main sediment stabilisers, and colloidal carbohydrate was the best bio-dependent predictor of c across the entire field area. In the late winter/early spring, cyanobacterial activity was lower, and sediment stabilisation by Enteromorpha clathrata was important; the best predictor of c was bed elevation. The implications and use of proxies for sediment stability are discussed in terms of feedback and sedimentation processes operating across the intertidal area
