In our simulation scheme this interaction has been considered as two corrections (one False Negative and one False Positive), so the figures obtained are pessimistic, based on the kind of interactions that have been simulated, and can be improved in practice.
There are four types of boundary interactions that can be simulated: Open, absorbing, periodic, and reflective.
This is crucial, as much of the artificiality associated with laboratory, and even mesocosm, approaches is removed by conducting manipulations in real habitats, which are characterised by natural environmental variability and complex interactions that often cannot be simulated under controlled conditions [12].
To meet these challenges, computer models that simulate cellular interactions will likely be needed in addition to cell culture models.
The serum inhibitory (SIT) and bactericidal titers (SBT) are laboratory tests that simulate the interactions between antibiotics and bacteria in the human body milieu.
Agent-based modeling (ABM) facilitates simulating spatial interactions that describe the ecological context in which insect populations spread.
One of the most widely employed strategies for assessing social skill has been role-play tests: simulated social interactions that are videotaped for subsequent behavioral coding.
Agent based modeling takes advantage of a wide variety of theories, methods, and tools to build computer models that simulate the interaction of agents (e.g., individuals or organizations) to see how real world phenomena "grow" and affect the system as a whole.
This type of approach can also be useful in simulating chemical chemical interactions that may affect clearance and other pharmacokinetic parameters (Liao et al. 2002), an especially important application given the numerous interactions possible from polypharmacy in elderly individuals.
Once the problem is formulated in such way, global search methods may be used in order to generate candidate solutions, that is, sets of core design parameters, to be analyzed by programs that simulate the neutron interactions in the reactor core.
