Simulation

demonstrates and validates the proposed distributed multi-agent area coverage control reinforcement learning algorithm (MAACC-RL) via numerical simulations. The approximate/adaptive dynamic programming (ADP) algorithm implemented for MAACC-RL uses a recursive least-squares solution. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed MAACC algorithm, a MATLAB simulation is conducted on a group of five agents placed on a 2D convex workspace Ω⊂R^2 with its boundary vertices at (1.0,0.05), (2.2,0.05),…

Disability Simulation I did the disability simulation to fulfill one of my 6 requirement of the pick 6. I choose to understand students with a physical disability and have to use a wheelchair. I borrowed my mom’s wheelchair one day, not only to do this project, but also because I had to get an injection in my knee for the first time and the doctor hit a nerve and had to do it twice and told me to stay off my foot the rest of the day. It was a challenging experience for me to get around in a…

Through creating a script and performing this simulation, we learned, first and foremost, how realistic aggression and violence can be in healthcare settings. It is often difficult to envision these types of situations when we are verbally introduced to them in nursing school because we very rarely get to see them in practice. By discussing our thoughts and performing the simulation, we retained a better understanding of how we might react and apply the skills that we have learned. Typically in…

Overall Reaction The Interprofessional Mega Simulation conducted in February 2017 was hosted by member of the Social Work faculty, Cathy Macomber, a member of the Nursing faculty, Sally Decker, and a member of the Occupational Therapy Faculty, Gene Prast. The audience consisted of students of social work, nursing, occupational therapy, health science, exercise science and athletic training. My group specifically consisted of two social work students, three nursing students, a medical science…

Background Prior to the Investopedia simulation I had very limited exposure to the stock market, only knowing of the existence of the TSX, NYSE, among other stock exchanges. Last year I started an Investopedia account and casually traded stocks without knowing any techniques or strategy, and managed my account which only had one or two stocks. I started it because I believed that Research in Motion, of whom was performing poorly on the stock exchange, would do better. I wanted to see if I…

Simulation In this study, optimisation of both parameters together with energy performance assessment of the mechanical ventilated PV façade system are conducted using TRNSYS. The schematic diagram of the components used to simulate the system is provided in Figure 2. The façade is part of a prototypical daylit cellular office building that is represented by Type 56 in Figure 2. This built form is chosen because it accounts for more than 67% of office buildings in England and Wales [25]. The…

During this simulation of the caste system, my caste didn't impact the way others went about very much. The only thing that my caste may have changed, had it not been there, would be the amount of work the laborers had to do. The hardest part of this simulation, at least for me, was the fact that the majority of my friends were in the class below me. Don’t get me wrong, I was acquainted with the people in my group, but I couldn't help but feel a sense of isolation and loneliness when I glanced…

a learning environment that allows students to demonstrate their ability to store the knowledge they have acquired. To obtain this goals teachers need to provide both an inclusive and emotional supportive learning environment. My goal for this simulation was to have my students’ academic, conscientiousness, and agreeableness levels to remain high. My hope in setting this goal was to promote higher academic understanding by using effective group placement, and individual assignments selection. I…

had presented a simulation model with a consideration of whole hospital, composed of Inpatient, outpatient and emergency patient departments.[30-33] Though there are plenty of research done in health care industry using simulation models for quality improvement, based on previous researches it was found that nearly twenty one percent of the research problems dealt with health policy issues. Fifty percent of researches were done on specialization focus clinics or clinics with similar case type.…

reading your post. I like your case studies, scenarios and concept mapping similar to my clinical rotation and simulation lab (SIM lab). SIM lab will be beneficial to the students because it creates confidence and preparedness for emergency situations that promotes critical thinking skills. Nurse educators who extend Bandura's framework for simulation relate increases in self-efficacy to simulation features. This including hands-on practice, immediate feedback, peer modeling, and repeated…
