uncontrollable shock on later ability avoid shock by the dogs tested. The dogs were divided into three groups. One of the groups was called the Escape Group. In this group, the dogs were placed in the harness. When an electrical shock came through, the dogs could avoid it by pressing the panel. The second group is called the No-Escape Group. The dogs in this group were also placed in the harness, which was next to the Escape Group. But in this group, the dogs couldn’t avoid the electrical shock by pressing

Kesey believes that shock therapies are not properly justified and can cause much damage to the patient. Even if it seems to work, the patient eventually

the most promising Shock Resistant Time Warp synchronisation algorithm and using the Grid framework ProActive. The validation of this parallel simulator shows that the Shock Resistant Time Warp algorithm can successfully reduce the number of rolled back Transaction moves but it also reveals circumstances in which the Shock Resistant Time Warp algorithm can be outperformed by the normal Time Warp algorithm. The conclusion of this paper suggests possible improvements to the Shock Resistant Time Warp
