Dr Bilham and Vinod Gaur, from the Centre for Mathematical Modelling and Computer Simulation in Bangalore, writing late last year in Current Science, said that until recently Indian seismological research has neglected a technique known as geodesy, which measures the strains accumulating in, and distorting the surfaces of, plates.
As a professor in the department of brain and cognitive sciences at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, he's using a combination of mathematical modeling, computer simulation and behavioral experiments to explain how people learn new things.
While a skydiving coach in the 1990s, he rigged up a primitive computer simulation of dives and dive formations.
The new computer simulation allows doctors and physicists to model the faulty heart beats (arrhythmias) that can cause cardiac arrest, and run episodes of arrhythmia time and again, looking for the best way of treating it.
Since 1992, in the place of testing, the United States has relied for "stockpile stewardship" on a host of computer-modeling, other simulation techniques and non-nuclear explosive tests that have provided insights into the performance of an aging arsenal.
Rather than discussing the already worn (and to me irrelevant) debate of digital book versus analog book, I talked about future technologies like brain computer interface, real-time simulation and programmable material, and how these will change the face of literature far beyond the Kindle, perhaps eventually eliminating text altogether.
The computer simulation showing the time-stamp effect in the study is novel and original, said Joe Manns, assistant professor of psychology at Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.
To do this, you could run a "Monte Carlo simulation" in which you plug historical weather data into a computer and then roll a pair of virtual dice 10, 000 times.
There are Singulatarians and Transhumanists actively working towards, and arguing for, a future in which people can upload their consciousness into an elaborate computer simulation, where they can basically live forever.
FORBES: What's the Likelihood of the Singularity? Part Three: A Simulated World
Results of a computer simulation released Thursday show oil leaking from the Gulf of Mexico could reach up the Altantic coast and far out into the ocean by early summer.
FORBES: Summer Beach Season Ruined? Computer Simulation Shows BP Oil Spill Could Reach Atlantic Soon
Inside the computer, software that lab members developed visualizes the spiders and determines the physics of spider interactions, creating a simulation of how virtual spiders should behave in the real world, Clark explained.
The researchers used a computer simulation model to estimate how many lives the screening programme could save, using data on death rates and the numbers of people affected by cancer from between 1975 and 2004.
