Simulation is a powerful analytical tool for designing or experimenting with complex systems. Simulation has been defined as the process of designing a model of a real system and conducting experiments with this model ei ...

Sawmills are very complex systems that involve many manufacturing processes. The variability of their raw material adds further to this complexity as each log has characteristics that determine its processing path. There ...

This thesis presents the results of a formal evaluation of a new AOGCM, GENMOM, demonstrating its ability to simulate present-day climate and ENSO dynamics. The model is applied to simulate climate for the Last Glacial M ...

Cable logging systems are being applied frequently in thinning young-growth forests, but the dynamics of these systems are relatively unknown. This study is part of a research project to develop aerial logging systems fo ...

We present a new nitrogen isotope model incorporated into the three-dimensional ocean component of a global Earth system climate model designed for millennial timescale simulations. The model includes prognostic tracers ...

This paper discusses current network technologies and protocols and presents a simulation study of the most common networking protocol used today, TCP/IP. The TCP/IP protocol stack has many inherent problems that will ...

The principal objective of this study was to investigate process simulation and optimization of an existing offshore natural gas process which needed profitability improvements. Optimization was done using two alternat ...

Helicopter yarding systems have become a popular tool in removing timber from steep slopes, sensitive soils, limited access areas, and environmentally sensitive stands. Little is known about the system's dynamics. Thi ...
