متن کاملComputer simulation for teaching membrane potential fundamentals.
A computer simulation of membrane potential generation is presented. It allows the user to vary the intra and extracellular concentrations of sodium, potassium and chloride ions (Na+, K+ and Cl-), and determine the membrane potential and the equilibrium potential for each ion. The permeability coefficients for the ionic species considered, and the temperature may also be changed at will. Concen...
متن کاملNGCE - Network Graphs for Computer Epidemiologists
Graphs are useful data structures capable of efficiently representing a variety of technological and social networks. They are therefore utilized in simulation-based studies of new algorithms and protocols. Inspired by the popular tgff (Task Graphs For Free) toolkit, which creates task graphs for embedded systems, we present the ngce, an easy to use graph generator that produces structures for ...
متن کاملGenetics computer teaching simulation programs: promise and problems.
COMPUTER programs that simulate genetics results can play a useful role in teaching the principles of genetics, but some people have argued that such programs have generally not fulfilled their initial promise to engage students. I discuss some of the reasons for this shortfall on the basis of my experience in writing and distributing the ‘‘Hands On Genetics’’ programs (http://www.handsongeneti...
