The present research presents an extended evacuation field model for simulating crowd emergency evacuation processes under the control of evacuation assistants. Furthermore, a communication field for describing the escape information transmission process and its effect on evacuees is introduced....

In the dynamic floor field model, the bosons are homogeneous. This causes a problem that the pedestrians are confused by their own traces. The model has been modified by the heterogeneous bosons. Compared with the dynamic floor field model based on the homogeneous bosons, the modified model...

The game-theoretic approach is an essential tool in the research of conflicts of human behaviors. The aim of this study is to research crowd dynamic conflicts during evacuation processes. By combining a conflict game with a Cellular Automata model, the following factors such as rationality,...

China's current segmented pension system features regional imbalance, fiscal inefficiency, social inequality and economic unsustainability. It is a result of three-decade evolution guided by vague long-term objectives, constrained by economic and political circumstances and swayed by...

Purpose Entrepreneurs are networking with others to get advice for their businesses. The networking differs between men and women; notably, men are more often networking for advice in the public sphere and women are more often networking for advice in the private sphere. The purpose of this...

This paper, through comparing the determinants between corporate failures and survivors, identifies factors in relation to liability of newness that cause corporate failures. Liability of newness has attracted research attention as a significant attribute for organizational failure, in...
