Formal models of past human societies informed by archaeological research have a high potential for shaping some of the most topical current debates. Agent-based models, which emphasize how actions by individuals combine to produce global patterns, provide a convenient framework for developing quantitative models of historical social processes. However, being derived from computer science, the method remains largely specialized in archaeology. In this paper and the associated tutorial, we provide a jargon-free introduction to the technique, its potential and limits as well as its diverse applications in archaeology and beyond. We discuss the epistemological rationale of using computational modeling and simulation, classify types of models, and give an overview of the main concepts behind agent-based modeling.

In this paper, we introduce a computational procedure that enables autonomous LEO laser trackers endowed with INSs to increase the current accuracy when shooting at middle distant medium-size LEO debris targets. The code is designed for the trackers to throw the targets into the Atmosphere by means of ablations. In case that the targets are eclipsed to the trackers by the Earth, the motions of the trackers and targets are modeled by equations that contain post-Newtonian terms accounting for the curvature of space. Otherwise, when the approaching targets become visible for the trackers, we additionally use more accurate equations, which allow to account for the local bending of the laser beams aimed at the targets. We observe that under certain circumstances the correct shooting configurations that allow to safely and efficiently shoot down the targets, differ from the current estimations by distances that may be larger than the size of many targets. In short, this procedure enables to estimate the optimal shooting instants for any middle distant medium-size LEO debris target.

The optimum design, modeling and simulation of a fixed bed multi-tube reformer for the renewable hydrogen production are carried out in the present paper. The analogies between plug flow model and a fixed bed reactor are used as design patterns. The steam reformer is designed to produce enough hydrogen to feed a 200kW fuel cell system (>2.19molH/s) and considering 85% of fuel utilization in the cell electrodes. The reactor prototype is optimized and then analyzed using a multiphysics and axisymmetric model, implemented on FEMLABM(R) where the differential mass balance by convection-diffusion and the energy balance for convection-conduction are solved. The temperature profile is controlled to maximize hydrogen production. The catalyst bed internal profiles and the effect of temperature on ethanol conversion and carbon monoxide production are discussed as well.
