essentially‚ a program that allows the user to observe an operation through simulation without actually performing that operation. Simulation software is used widely to design equipment so that the final product will be as close to design specs as possible without expensive in process modification. Simulation software with real-time response is often used in gaming‚ but it also has important industrial applications. When the penalty for improper operation is costly‚ such as airplane pilots‚ nuclear power

What are the main perspectives in the study of psychology? What research methods are used to study these perspectives? Every topic in psychology can be looked at in a number of different ways and various different approaches can be adopted for each topic. These approaches are known as perspectives (i.e. view) that involve certain assumptions (i.e. beliefs) about human behaviour: the way they function‚ which aspects of them are worthy of study and what research methods are appropriate for undertaking

Molecular modelling is the general term used to describe the use of computers to construct molecules and perform a variety of calculations on these molecules in order to predict their chemical characteristics and behaviour. The term molecular modelling is often used synonymously with the term computational chemistry. Computational chemistry is a broader term‚ referring to any use of computers to study chemical systems. Some chemists use the term computational quantum chemistry to refer to the use

I would carry little to no guilt because at least the right person is being prosecuted. Personally‚ I would react in the same manner as the utilitarian decision because I could not possibly live with the guilt of sending an innocent man to jail.

Business Modelling Revision Mutually exclusive event- add the probabilities together to find the probability that one or other of the events will occur. E.g men/woman P(A or B)= P(A)+P(B) Non mutually exclusive- shared characteristic P (A or B)= P(A) + P(B) – P(B+A) Independent events – outcome is known to have no effect on another outcome P (A+B) = P(A) X P(B) Dependant events- outcome of one event affects the probability of the outcome of the other. Probability of the second event said to be dependent

Equipments has to be shut down for 1 hr for replacing a tube‚ the cost of one tube is sh 100‚ while the shut down time cost sh 200 per hour. Simulate the system for about 6000 hrs of run and find the maintenance cost using the following random numbers 0.8‚0.2‚0.6‚0.3‚0.1‚0‚0.8‚0.9‚0.2‚0.8‚0.3‚0.7‚0.4‚0.8‚0.5‚0.6‚0‚0.4‚0.9 3.
