Development of system dynamic model to evaluate the impact of feed - in tariff for different energy resources by Shahmohammadi, Mohammad Sadegh

“…Then ten subsystems were defined to establish the stock and flow diagram. High complexity of the system with several feedback loops and interrelationships between the variables was the main reason of applying system dynamics approach in this study. …”

Quantifying spatiotemporal dynamics of urban building and material metabolism by combining a random forest model and GIS-based material flow analysis by Ting Mao, Ting Mao, Ting Mao, Yupeng Liu, Yupeng Liu, Yupeng Liu, Wei-Qiang Chen, Wei-Qiang Chen, Wei-Qiang Chen, Nan Li, Nan Li, Nan Li, Nan Dong, Yao Shi

“…Moreover, the lack of a finer spatial pattern of these attributes shadows a spatially explicit characterization of material stock and flow in cities. In this study, we took Shenzhen—whose urbanization over the past three decades has been unprecedented in China and even around the world— has been taken as an example to develop a city-level building dataset based on a random-forest model and quantify the spatiotemporal patterns of material metabolism at relatively high spatial resolution (in 500 m × 500 m grids) by combing material flow analysis (MFA) with geographic information system (GIS). …”

Impact of ASEAN rice policy on intra-ASEAN rice trade by Dordkeshan, Mohammad Javad

“…First, causal loops diagram were developed based on the literature explanation of relationships between the variables in the rice industry, then secondly, stock and flow diagrams were built based on the casual loop diagrams to run computer simulation and forecast using Vensim software. …”

Annual distributions of insecticide-treated nets to schoolchildren and other key populations to maintain higher ITN access than with mass campaigns: a modelling study for mainland... by Hannah Koenker, Matt Worges, Benjamin Kamala, Peter Gitanya, Frank Chacky, Samwel Lazaro, Charles Dismas Mwalimu, Sijenunu Aaron, Deodatus Mwingizi, David Dadi, Ato Selby, Naomi Serbantez, Lulu Msangi, Dana Loll, Joshua Yukich

“…This modelling study projects ITN access under different ITN distribution strategies and quantification approaches. Methods A stock and flow model with a Tanzania-specific ITN decay rate was used to calculate annual net crops for four different ITN distribution strategies, varying quantification approaches within each strategy. …”

Impact of selected Asean countries' price policy on the Malaysian rice industry by Daniel, Mirimo

“…A causal loop diagram was first developed, then it was converted in a stock a flow diagram to perform some computer simulation (with the help of Vensim software) based on three (3) scenarios including the base line scenario which was drawn based on the World Bank commodity prices forecast until 2025, the first scenarios were concerned with an increasing of export prices of Vietnam and Thailand as the results of removing their policies, an increase of 20 and 40 percent from the base line projection were specifically designed , the second scenarios were looking at downing export prices trend of 10 and 30 percent from the base line scenario.Simulation results from export price scenarios indicated that an increase compared to their base line projections of export prices will decrease the Malaysia rice selfsufficiency level, while the inverse, a decrease of export prices compared to their base line levels will increase the rice self-sufficiency level. …”

Does Formal System Dynamics Training Improve People's Understanding of Accumulation? by Sterman, John

“…Research shows widespread misunderstanding of stocks and flows, even among highly educated adults. People fail to grasp that any stock rises (falls) when the inflow exceeds (is less than) the outflow. …”

Factors associated with learning management in Mexican micro-entrepreneurs by Alejandro Mungaray Lagarda, Duniesky Feitó Madrigal, Michelle Texis Flores

“…The above is done through a confirmatory factor analysis and structural linear equation system, and the presence of static and dynamic dimensions in learning capacity, which are represented by individual stocks and flows of knowledge. The positive relationship between them demonstrates the presence of learning processes that impact positively their economic performance.…”
