Simulationen in BASIC mit dem IBM PC, XT, AT: Astronomie, Biologie, Chemie und Dokumentationen (Vieweg-Programmbibliothek Mikrocomputer #39)

Simulanten sind uns als Menschen bekannt, die durch "vorgespielte" Symptome den Eindruck erwecken wollen, an einer bestimmten Krankheit zu leiden. Der Simulant besitztdaherdas wichtigste Merkmal für den naturwissenschaftlichen Begriff Simulation, bei dem ebenfalls in Modellspielen mit einfachen Spielregeln die Realität imitiert wird. Ein Modell ist immer durch die Anzahl seiner Parameter begrenzt, kann also niemals allgemeingültig sein. Ausgehend von leicht zu durchschauenden Modellen aus den Themenkreisen Astronomie, Biologie, Chemie und Dokumentation von Ergebnissen sollen 22 kleine Anwendungen mit GW-BASIC und Lotus 1-2-3 vorgestellt werden. Simulation soll hier als Hilfsmittel für die Erstellung von Prognosen oder einfachen Spiel­ ergebnissen von Modellen obiger Themenkreise verstanden werden. Natürlich stellt der Abstraktionsumfang eines jeden Modells den begrenzenden Faktor für die Anwendung im Schulbereich dar, da diese Fähigkeit zur Abstraktion alters- und schultypabhängig ist: Doch auch dort, wo die natürlichen Modelle (Versuchstiere) unersetzbar sind, unterstützt der PC das "Erlebnis" am Tierversuch, wenn er eine übersichtliche und schnelle Versuchs­ auswertung liefert. Daher ist auch ein Programm, welches Realwerte liefert, in die Samm­ lung der Simulationsprogramme mitaufgenommen worden.

Simulations for Design and Manufacturing: Select Papers from AIMTDR 2016 (Lecture Notes on Multidisciplinary Industrial Engineering)

This book focuses on numerical simulations of manufacturing processes, discussing the use of numerical simulation techniques for design and analysis of the components and the manufacturing systems. Experimental studies on manufacturing processes are costly, time consuming and limited to the facilities available. Numerical simulations can help study the process at a faster rate and for a wide range of process conditions. They also provide good prediction accuracy and deeper insights into the process. The simulation models do not require any pre-simulation, experimental or analytical results, making them highly suitable and widely used for the reliable prediction of process outcomes. The book is based on selected proceedings of AIMTDR 2016. The chapters discuss topics relating to various simulation techniques, such as computational fluid dynamics, heat flow, thermo-mechanical analysis, molecular dynamics, multibody dynamic analysis, and operational modal analysis. These simulation techniques are used to: 1) design the components, 2) to investigate the effect of critical process parameters on the process outcome, 3) to explore the physics of the process, 4) to analyse the feasibility of the process or design, and 5) to optimize the process. A wide range of advanced manufacturing processes are covered, including friction stir welding, electro-discharge machining, electro-chemical machining, magnetic pulse welding, milling with MQL (minimum quantity lubrication), electromagnetic cladding, abrasive flow machining, incremental sheet forming, ultrasonic assisted turning, TIG welding, and laser sintering. This book will be useful to researchers and professional engineers alike.

Simulations in Swift 5: Design and Implement with Swift Playgrounds

Design and implement simulations using Apples Swift Playgrounds. Computer simulations are used to replicate the physical systems we see all around us. They help us solve problems by performing experiments that may otherwise be impossible in the real world. This book uses simulations to solve counter-intuitive logic puzzles, create procedural artworks, and build habitats for digital lifeforms. To help you create your own simulations using the Swift programming language, this book is filled with projects that you can easily follow along with. All you need is a Mac with the latest version of Xcode installed. All projects are written in Xcode’s Playgrounds. This keeps the process simple. No need to setup an Apple account, or learn anything further about building apps.Simulations are used in many areas within computer science and yet, barely anyone is teaching them. Sure, the fundamentals are in algorithm design, but simulations are a step above that. Usually when writing an algorithm you have a specific outcome in mind. However, when you create a simulation, the system you are modelling can be far more unpredictable than sorting a list, or navigating a maze. Simulations in Swift 5 will guide you through all of this.What You'll LearnSimulate situations with advanced algorithms to solve advanced problemsIncorporate real-world physics into simulated problemsPredict biological and other systems behavior and the outcome of events based on presented factorsWho This Book Is ForSwift programmers interested in tackling fun projects in Swift involving advanced algorithms and factors

Simulations of Decision-Making as Active Learning Tools: Design and Effects of Political Science Simulations (Professional and Practice-based Learning #22)

This volume brings together both political and educational scientists. While educational research literature has so far not systematically addressed the tool of simulations of decision-making, political scientists have hardly used insights from research on assessment or on motivation and interest of students. Almost all political science publications on simulations merely discuss how to implement the tool in class and fall short of providing evidence of the effects on student outcomes such as increased interest and performance. Combining the two disciplines is mutually enriching. Political science benefits from state of the art educational science measuring and testing of the claims made by the proponents of simulations, while educational sciences adds the systematic analysis of simulations of decision-making to their list of empirical objects, which also adds insights to the theories on the affective component of student learning. It is the explicit aim of the volume to address how simulating decision-making environments fosters learning. Implications for research and practice regarding student learning are addressed in all chapters.
