Simulating others : the basis of human cognition?
(2004)The paper critiques the argument of Michael Tomasello’s Cultural Origins of Human Cognition (1999). This culture-first theory is judged to be a good sketch of how nature predisposes humans for talk. Above all, this is ... -
Simulating Perceptions of Security
(Springer Nature, 2017-11-29)Systems complicated enough to have ongoing security issues are difficult to understand, and hard to model. The models are hard to understand, even when they are right (another reason they are usually wrong), and too ... -
Simulating probability learning and probabilistic reversal learning using the attention-gated reinforcement learning (AGREL) model
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2010)In a probability learning task, participants estimate the probabilistic reward contingencies, and this task has been used extensively to study instrumental conditioning with partial reinforcement. In the probabilistic ... -
Simulation and experimental study of rheological properties of CeO2 – water nanofluid
(2015-03)Metal oxide nanoparticles offer great merits over controlling rheological, thermal, chemical and physical properties of solutions. The effectiveness of a nanoparticle to modify the properties of a fluid depends on its ... -
Simulation and Field Campaign Evaluation of an Optical Particle Counter on a Fixed-Wing UAV
(2022-04-05)Unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs) have great potential to be utilised as an airborne platform for measurement of atmospheric particulates and droplets. In particular, the spatio-temporal resolution of UAV measurements could ... -
A simulation approach to innovation deployment readiness assessment in manufacturing
(2017-06-02)Manufacturing companies need to continuously innovate in order to remain competitive. Fostering a successful innovative environment should reflect positively on manufacturing performance, with a premise that companies seek ... -
Simulation as Unifying Educational Intervention
(2016-04-15)What is simulation? (Gaba, 2004, Quality & Safety in Healthcare) • Technique (Not the technology) used to: –Undertake research. –Test systems and processes. –Orient team to an environment. –Acquire skills and experience. ... -

Simulation Based Study of Safety Stocks under Short-Term Demand Volatility in Integrated Device Manufacturing.
(2018-07-26)A problem faced by integrated device manufacturers (IDMs) relates to fluctuating demand and can be reflected in long-term demand, middle-term demand, and short-term demand fluctuations. This paper explores safety stock ... -
La simulation comme projet d’excellence universitaire : l’exemple de l’Université de Hertfordshire en Angleterre
(2008-11)This article presents the development of a large clinical simulation centre within a British university. This centre is used by students and professionals from all healthcare disciplines where they take part in highfidelity ... -
Simulation games in business and marketing: How educators assess their students.
(2015-03-31)Considerable research findings have demonstrated the value of simulations in motivating and engaging students and in developing their skills and competencies. Almost no research, however, has investigated how educators ... -
Simulation games: shifting from conceptual learning to experiential learning
(2010)Numerous views exist concerning the effectiveness (or ineffectiveness) of incorporating simulation games into learning environments. The shift from Conceptual Learning (or learning by 'listening') to Experiential Learning ... -
Simulation in the time of COVID 19
(2020-11-10)The Corona virus disease 2019 (COVID-19), FFP3 (filtering face piece-3), COVID, shielding, powered air-purifying respirator (PAPR), donning, doffing... are aA plethora of words and acronyms little known to the simulation ... -
A Simulation Method for Measuring Building Physics Properties
(International Building Performance Association (IBPSA), 2020-04-01)Designing building energy performance with confidence requires accurate information on the properties of building materials and on assemblies of these materials.However, thermal properties of the building in use are rarely ... -
A simulation model of self-organising evolvability in software systems
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE), 2005)The evolvability of a software artifact is its capacity for producing heritable or reusable variants; the inverse quality is the artifact s inertia or resistance to volutionary change. Evolvability in software systems may ... -
Simulation modelling practices of ProSim03 participants: A survey
(Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET), 2004)Despite the increasing interest in software process simulation, the literature does not report the use of a formal process for software process simulation model development. We report the results of a preliminary survey ... -
Simulation of Near-Tip Crack Behaviour and Its Correlation to Fatigue Crack Growth with a Modified Strip-Yield Model
(2008)A modified strip-yield model has been developed to simulate the plasticity-induced crack closure under the constant amplitude (CA) and a single overload loading conditions. The paper focuses on the simulation of the near ... -
Simulation of vertical spread of plant diseases in a crop canopy by stem extension and splash dispersal
(2002-06-01)Upward displacement of light leaf spot lesions by winter oilseed rape stem extension and dispersal of Pyrenopeziza brassicae conidia by rain-splash were both incorporated into a model to describe vertical spread of light ...
