An independent assessment of the technical feasibility of the Mars One mission plan – Updated analysis by Do, Sydney, Owens, Andrew Charles, Ho, Koki, Schreiner, Samuel Steven, de Weck, Olivier L.

“…To perform this analysis, we adopt an iterative analysis approach in which we model and simulate the mission architecture, assess its feasibility, implement any applicable modifications while attempting to remain within the constraints set forth by Mars One, and then resimulate and reanalyze the revised version of the mission architecture. …”

Modelling of pesticides and POPS in the River Thames system: potential impacts of changes in climate and management by Lu, Q

“…</p> <p>While the fugacity model successfully simulated the distribution and fate of PCBs, we used greatly simplified representations of climate, hydrology and biogeochemical processes of the catchment: to have a deeper understanding, a newly developed dynamic hydrobiogeochemical transport model—the Integrated Catchment Contaminants model (INCAContaminants) was applied. …”

Flood modeling for the Neka catchment in Mazandaran province, Northern Iran by Haghizadeh, Ali

“…Hydrograph phases studied during the flood seasons of 1986-1999 and from 2002-2004 were used to calibrate and verify the hydraulic model respectively. Simulations of peak flood stages and hydrographs’ evaluations are congruent with studies and observations, with the former showing errors of below 0.107m.A 3D flood mapping for the flood plain is then constructed from the projected water profiles. …”

System dynamics analysis of the impact of paddy and energy subsidies withdrawal on paddy sector by Baharudin, Siti 'Aisyah

“…System dynamics model is used to identify the underlying problematic structure by modelling the land use, productivity, consumption, input, allocation input, farmer’s income, expenditure, farm cash, energy use, farm and technology practices sub-models. The simulation results have replicated the historical data, in which an increase in world crude oil price shows an increasing paddy expenditure by 3.8%. …”

An efficient network mobility management for a 6LoWPAN mobile network in hospital environments by Shahamabadi, Mohammadreza Sahebi

“…The above results proved that the NEMOHWSN is more efficient than other schemes in the HWSN environment, with low handover signalling delay, handover signalling cost, packet loss, packet end-to-end delay and energy consumption. Analytical models and simulation have been conducted to show the validation of work to verify that simulation results correspond to reference values (MIPv6, NEMO and HWSN6).…”
