the power supply of remote sites and applications at minimal cost and with low emissions is an important issue when discussing future energy concepts. this paper presents modeling and optimization of a photovoltaic (pv)/wind/diesel system with batteries storage for electrification to an off-grid remote area located in rafsanjan, iran. for this location, different hybrid systems are studied and ...

In this paper, biological and mathematical approaches to vascular development are presented with the comparison of several modeling and simulation methods with respect to the growth of vascular trees and wound healing. The links between mathematical modeling and biological mechanism of angiogenesis are discussed. Suggestions for further modeling are given.

This chapter introduces some key concepts that underlie the framework and methodology for modeling and simulation (M&S) originally presented in “Theory of Modeling and Simulation” published in 1976 − referred to hereafter as TMS76 to distinguish it from the current revised edition TMS98. Perhaps the most basic concept is that of mathematical systems theory. First developed in the nineteen sixti...

One of the most important tasks in teaching of mathematics is to use a suitable method for developing of theoretically acquired knowledge. Drawing on his own experience, the authors have found that the best method to be used is the system approach. System approach is closely connected to the modeling and simulation. Theory of the systems, modeling and simulation are disciplines with its own the...

This book partially fills a gap between mathematical models and agent-based approaches, acting as a primer in statistically-sophisticated simulation of concise models. Although Thompson’s moderately mathematical book contains some minor errors and is not comprehensive enough to be a “handbook of simulation”, it is definitely worth perusing for researchers interested in the intersection of simul...
