In a previous report, the ISPOR Task Force on Dynamic Simulation Modeling Applications in Health Care Delivery Research Emerging Good Practices introduced the fundamentals of dynamic simulation modeling and identified the types of health care delivery problems for which dynamic simulation modeling can be used more effectively than other modeling methods. The hierarchical relationship between th...

Abstract We build a system dynamics model based on conceptual originally proposed by safety scientist Jens Rasmussen to explore the of subject pressures for performance improvement. described forces that generate drift in boundary acceptable can push organization towards “flirting with margin” and thus operate at very high risk catastrophic failure. Simulations faithfully replicate behavior oth...

Although dynamic programming environments are in widespread use, only basic runtime composition mechanisms are covered by today’s modeling languages. Thus, it is common in real-world development projects that dynamic compositions are not modeled formally and are consequently hard to use, for example together with the model-driven paradigm where formal models are essential to generate source cod...

In this paper, the performance of a Ring Laser Gyro based inertial navigation is investigated. Dynamic and stochastic modeling are applied to gyro simulation and performance evaluation. In the dynamic model, some parameters such as scale factor and environmental sensitivity have been determined, whereas in the stochastic model, the other parameters such as random drift and measurement noise...

Dynamic texture (DT) widely exists in various social video media. Therefore, DT modeling and synthesis plays an important role in social media analyzing and processing. In this paper, we propose a Bayesian-based nonlinear dynamic texture modeling method for dynamic texture synthesis. To capture the non-stationary distribution of DT, we utilize the Gaussian process latent variable model for dime...

the johor strait is an estuarine system located on the coast of the state of johor in malaysia.the western part of johor strait is a shallow estuarine located between causeway and pulai river. ahydrodynamic model was calibrated based on the environmental fluid dynamic code (efdc) from 4th to 17th of october, 2009. in this calibration, the efdc hydrodynamic model was configured to simulate time ...

high resolution range profile (hrrp) is being known as one of the most powerful tools for radar target recognition. the main problem with range profile for radar target recognition is its sensitivity to aspect angle. to overcome this problem, consecutive samples of hrrp (or feature vectors extracted from them)were assumed to be identically independently distributed (iid) in small frames of aspe...

empirical studies show that there is stronger dependency between large losses than large profit in financial market, which undermine the performance of using symmetric distribution for modeling these asymmetric. that is why the assuming normal joint distribution of returns is not suitable because of considering the linier dependence, and can be lead to inappropriate estimate of var. copula theo...

the nonlinear discrete crack modeling of Shahid Rajaee thin arch dam is considered. The interface elements are positioned such that certain potential separated blocks can form possible failure mechanisms. The dynamic stability of theses blocks are investigated by a special finite element program "MAP-73" which its nonlinear algorithm and interface elements formulation are presented.

This paper presents an application of Continuum (i.e. Lagrangian) and Finite Element Techniques to flexible manipulator arms for derivation of the corresponding Dynamic Equations of Motion. Specifically a one-link flexible arm is considered for detailed analysis, and the results are extended for the case of a two - link flexible manipulator. Numerical examples are given for the case of both one...
