Abstract Previous simulation models have found positive effects of cognitive diversity on group performance, but not explored in demographics (e.g., gender, ethnicity). In this paper, we present an agent-based model that captures two empirically supported hypotheses about how demographic can improve performance. The results our simulations suggest that, even when social identities are associate...

The UK National Blood Service (NBS) is a public funded body that is responsible for distributing blood and associated products. A discrete-event simulation of the NBS supply chain in the Southampton area has been built using the commercial off-the-shelf simulation package (CSP) Simul8. This models the relationship in the health care supply chain between the NBS Processing, Testing and Issuing (...

in this study, a one-dimensional model called dyresm was used to simulate the thermal structure and artificial destratification of 15-khordad reservoir over a period of one year. the simulation showed that the reservoir is warm monomictic and is stratified during 210 days of the simulation year. the model reproduced the temperature of the meta- and hypolimnion very close to the observed data, b...
