Presents a multicompartment model which illustrates aspects of drug absorption, distribution, and elimination in the human body for a course in pharmacokinetics. The course work consists of the interpretation of computer generated simulated data. (Author/CMV)

The total system capability, including all the special purpose and general purpose hardware comprising the Airborne Electro-Optical Sensor Simulation (AEOSS) System, is described. The functional relationship between hardware portions is described together with interface to the software portion of the computer image generation. Supporting rationale…

Describes a one-dimensional model for an ideal gas to study development of disordered motion in Newtonian mechanics. A Monte Carlo procedure for simulation of the statistical ensemble of an ideal gas with fixed total energy is developed. Compares both approaches for a pseudoexperimental foundation of statistical mechanics. (Author/JN)

Computer assisted instruction (CAI) provides active and non-linear instruction, but the microcomputer-videotape combination permits development of a broader range of instructional activities not previously possible with microcomputers alone. Instructional materials can be displayed alternately from the microcomputer or the videocassette…

Drawing on the authors' extensive experience at Stanford University as well as the work of others, this book offers the first systematic approach to fiscal and human resource planning at colleges and universities. It shows how decision models can and should become an integral part of the planning process. The uses and misuses of planning models in…

The Southwest Regional Laboratory Instructional Management System (IMS) utilizes a configuration of electronic data processing (EDP) equipment to transform instructional program performance data into instructional program management information. To perform this transformation, SWRL has selected a configuration consisting of on-site optical…

The Library Development Division of the Washington State Library and the Library Futures Planning Task Force developed cost data and a computer simulation model in order to construct a series of alternatives for extending library services to areas of the state now unserved. User needs were assessed, and cost data were developed for mail-order…
