be conducting a computer simulation called “Rabbits and Wolves”. In this experiment I will be interaction with a simple forest ecosystem model that will simply take into account three organisms: rabbits, wolves, and grass. As defined by “Environmental Science- 14th Edition”, an ecosystem is “a set of organisms within a defined area or volume that interact with one another and with their environment of nonliving matter and energy.” I will be using the computer simulation to alter the interactions

The computer simulation named “Rabbits and wolves” is about models and simple systems. In the simulation, there are three main organisms, rabbits, wolves and grass all put together in a forest ecosystem. An ecosystem is a set of organism within a defined area or volume that interact with one another and with their environment (Miller & Spoolman). A system is a collection of elements or components that are organized for a common purpose (Rouse, 2005). The purpose of this simulation is to see how

and Simulation by Baudrillard. This reference however is more than a mere visual joke it is a signifier for a number of the film’s sub-textual tropes and motifs. For Baudrillard, the notion of the simulacra was central to an understanding of the modern capitalist society. In his essay “The Precession of the Simulacra” (2004) he offers up four vital concepts, all of which appear, in one form or another in The Matrix: the simulation, the simulacra, the Real and the hyper-real. The simulation covers

compare the results obtained using the different traffic modeling approaches. Objectives and Methodology * Create a simple network with explicit traffic and run a simulation. * Replace explicit traffic with background traffic and rerun the simulation. * Replace background traffic with hybrid traffic and rerun the simulation. * Assess and compare the speed and accuracy of the three traffic-modeling approaches. Explanation and Background In the real world, one of the most important jobs

In “Education vs. Entertainment,” Mizuko Ito clearly defines three genres that comprise children’s software – academic, entertainment, and construction. Although all three types are designed with learning goals in mind while at the same time incorporating fun, they differ based on the degree of emphasis placed on educational versus entertainment purposes. Disparities in production and advertising between the genres are also made evident. Beginning with the ‘academic’ strand, which is designed for
