Computer simulation in brain science
"In recent years, there has been a growing debate, particularly in the UK and Europe, over the merits of using discrete-event simulation (DES) and system dynamics (SD); there are now instances where both methodologies were employed on the same problem. This book details each met…
Handbook of micromechanics and nanomechanics
This book presents the latest developments and applications of micromechanics and nanomechanics. It particularly focuses on some recent applications and impact areas of micromechanics and nanomechanics that have not been discussed in traditional micromechanics and nanomechanics …
Manual of simulation in healthcare
Practising fundamental patient care skills and techniques is essential to the development of trainees' wider competencies in all medical specialties. After the success of simulation learning techniques used in other industries, such as aviation, this approach has been adopted in…
Manual of simulation in healthcare
Medical simulation is a relatively new science that is achieving respectability with healthcare educators worldwide. This practical manual will assist the educator with design, implementation and evaluation of all types of courses in healthcare, especially those that use simulat…
Although scientific models and simulations differ in numerous ways, they are similar in so far as they are posing essentially philosophical problems about the nature of representation. This collection is designed to bring together some of the best work on the nature of represent…
