Social bias insights concern judgments rather than real-world decisions

Judgments differ from decisions. Judgments are more abstract, decontextualized and bear fewer consequences for the agent. In pursuit of experimental control, psychological experiments on bias create a simplified, bare-bone representation of social behavior. These experiments resemble conditions in which people judge others, but not how they make real-world decisions.

An Improved Bare Bone Multi-Objective Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm for Solar Thermal Power Plants

Solar energy has many advantages, such as being abundant, clean and environmentally friendly. Solar power generation has been widely deployed worldwide as an important form of renewable energy. The solar thermal power generation is one of a few popular forms to utilize solar energy, yet its modelling is a complicated problem. In this paper, an improved bare bone multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm (IBBMOPSO) is proposed based on the bare bone multi-objective particle swarm optimization algorithm (BBMOPSO). The algorithm is first tested on a set of benchmark problems, confirming its efficacy and the convergency speed. Then, it is applied to optimize two typical solar power generation systems including the solar Stirling power generation and the solar Brayton power generation; the results show that the proposed algorithm outperforms other algorithms for multi-objective optimization problems.
