Abstract
This paper discusses the concept of fiscal policy and how it relates to the management of a national economy. The economic indicators of GDP, GDP growth, and employment are examined in relation to their estimation of an economy's health. Fiscal policies that allow manipulation of an economy are also examined, such as government spending on infrastructure, spending on education, and governmental policies on taxation.
From the Paper
"The changes to fiscal policy in the simulation had immediate and long-lasting effects on the economy of Erehwon. During periods of high or runaway inflation the government is obligated to cut spending across the board where possible. As President, such spending cuts on infrastructure and education programs are never popular, either with the public or other political representatives who have to face their constituents with the news of program cuts. During recessionary periods, the government was forced to spend itself out of recession and, if not congressionally blocked, to run a higher than average deficit. While the public may be happy with the results the long-term effect on the economy of such measures are not positive. Additionally, during a recession taxes should be reduced."

Abstract
The paper provides a summary of a simulation for using fiscal policy tools to manage a fictitious country called Erehwon. The paper relates that government spending and taxation are fiscal policy tools that affect the real GDP and aggregate income of the economy. The paper shows how increases and decreases in government spending and taxes aid in managing recession and inflation. The paper concludes that there are no actions to guarantee optimum results, so policy makers must be flexible and evaluate the effectiveness of fiscal policy changes. The paper also applies these principles to the workplace.

Conclusion
From the Paper
"Fiscal policy is a tool used by federal governments to regulate the economy. This paper provides a summary of a simulation for using fiscal policy tools to manage a fictitious country called Erehwon. Erehwon is a small country with a population of 30 million with an average income of $1,300. The literacy rate is 56% for males and 35% for females. Only11 million individuals are in the labor force and 20% of the population lives below the poverty line. The country suffers from an inadequate infrastructure for transportation, communication and banking services. The government must manage the fiscal tools of government spending and taxation to improve the health of the economy and strengthen the country's infrastructure."

Abstract
The paper relates that the use of patient simulation is one of the fastest growing technologies used in nursing education curriculum today, and confirms that patient simulation provides a standardized clinical circumstance in which a student can learn. The paper continues and comments that rupturing and dissecting abdominal aortic aneurysms are among the highest misdiagnosed areas of medicine today. Nursing student and novice nurses rarely get an opportunity to engage with this type of patient in a learning environment. The paper concludes that use of patient simulation may be a device educators can use to bridge the gap between aortic aneurysm and the novice nurse.

From the Paper
"Prior to the use of simulation, students learned through skills labs and practiced on fellow students. When students perform assessments on peers, they rarely find anything abnormal and usually find values in normal ranges (Medley & Horne, 2005, 33). Patient simulation lessens the difficulty nursing students experience when transitioning from clinical lab to actual patient situations (Medley & Horne, 2005, 31). This becomes particularly important in patients with difficult diagnoses. In addition, patient simulators can provide clinical situations that may not be fully developed in real life (Waldner & Olson, 2007, 1). Clinical situations can often be unpredictable or not meet the students' needs at that particular time. Patient simulation provides a standardized clinical circumstance in which a student can learn (Waldner & Olson, 2). Patient simulation offers opportunity to either interrupt simulation or wait until the end for discussion."

Abstract
This paper discusses the simulation that was taken individually by the authors of the paper. The simulation was an exercise of the decision-making steps and how each member of the group would respond to the same situation. This paper identifies some problem evaluation tools and techniques and how those tools differ from other similar situations. It also looks at how the simulation techniques assist in the evaluation of the decision making process, the outcomes reached in the simulation and what changes were brought about in the decision making process for each team member.

Identifying the Evaluation Tools
End results
From the Paper
"Each author had different results based on there own personal decisions. Hilda received an A rating, Brian received a B+ rating and Cheryl received a B rating. Brian's decisions tended to lean towards some of the more legal implication, reporting concerns, and addressing the employee's concerns of pay and retention. Hilda's decisions leaned more towards the concern of product mix, the encroaching competition and employee satisfaction. Cheryl's decisions tended to lean towards employees satisfaction, retention and a more aggressive marketing strategy. One of the thoughts that emerged from this project that all team members noticed was that of letting corporate take care of problems that they are willing to take on and not to try and solve all problems locally, for example the IT problem. Do not spend discretionary funds on replacing the IT when corporate is willing to come out and train them. Not every problem has to be dealt with at a local or individual level unless it's truly a local problem. In taking the simulation the authors' would change their own individual decision making process. As mentioned above there would be a better emphasis on employees and dealing with problems of locality not corporate."

Abstract
This paper analyzes and simulates the performance of the frequency modulation (FM). The paper begins with an introduction to FM modulation and provides a full mathematical background information in regards with the FM. (This includes FM spectral analysis and introducing and simulating the role of the Bessel function and the frequency sidebands). The FM bandwidth requirements is discussed and simulated by using the MATLAB/Simulink. The simulation model and initialization steps are completely demonstrated and the results are discussed. The effect of adding noise to a FM modulated signal is analyzed and the results are presented. (This includes analysis of threshold effect and the mathematical relationship between signal to noise and carrier to noise.) The results of practical measurements are presented at the end of each part. The paper includes figures and graphs.

From the Paper
"As explained before, in FM modulation, there is a linear relation between frequency deviation and voltage variation. (At the receiver site, demodulator use this property to extract the message from the modulated signal). In other word, this means that if we sketch the graph of modulated signal frequency versus message signal's voltage for an arbitrary FM system, the slope of the graph would be a constant value and would be equal to Kf (deviation constant)."

Abstract
This paper considers the development and formation of simulation programs from their origins at MIT in the 1960's as well as their application to commercial airlines. Topics include how computer simulation is used to reconstruct airline accidents to help find the causes of these accidents and how the industry uses these to make air travel safer.
From the Paper
"The history of simulation programs started at MIT in the 1960's. In fact, MIT has one of the finest aeronautical engineering facilities of any in the United States. Known as the Wright Brothers Facility, MIT has been working with every part of simulation and aeronautical safety study that is known. As early as 1896 the Institute had wind tunnels that were used to simulate the amount of pressure that could be exerted on parts of the wings and body of the airplanes. Since that time prototypes of all sorts of simulation have evolved up to and including the most advanced of computer graphics simulators."

Bibliography
From the Paper
"There are many challenges for the instructors of production management who are eager to enhance the capabilities of the students continuously, in order to develop and adopt new teaching approaches and methods. Not only are most universities under sustained pressure to reduce costs and at the same time increase effectiveness. But new market conditions for industrial enterprises request a closer integration of the various disciplines of production, such as production planning & control, production processes, plant-layout, organizational structure and behavior. Furthermore, the production tasks should be seen in a broader context as related to marketing, product development as well as vendors and suppliers in the supply chain. Emerging production paradigms and principles call for a thorough discussion of potential benefits and limitations."

Abstract
For those not familiar with these topics, the paper begins by briefly providing the reader with definitions of neurons, mirror neurons, and simulation theory. Following these definitions, the writer then discusses in depth how the biology of mirror neurons relates to one of the most popular theories in the field of cognitive psychology, the simulation theory.
From the Paper
"Recently, an interesting set of neurons were discovered in monkeys, specifically in area F5 (which is part of the pre-motor cortex, one of the central regions for action-response) of the brain (R. et al., 1996; G. et al., 1996), which came to be known as mirror neurons. These neurons become activated both when a particular action is performed by the monkey itself or when the same action, performed by another individual (monkey or human), is observed. Grasping, holding, manipulating or tearing objects are the actions that, both when observed and executed, most frequently activate the mirror neurons. Mirror neurons appear to form a cortical circuitry, used in matching observations with the execution of goal-related motor actions."

The author points out that these simulations confirm the importance and effectiveness of environmental scanning, strategy formulation and choice and the formulation of action plans and goals. The paper stresses that, as a result of using appropriate simulations, a number of concepts and analytical tools can be identified and used in the development of a strategic plan.
From the Paper
"In evaluating prospective grand strategies, of the case, to secure of Oz's status as the world's largest toy manufacturing company, the strategic options open to Oz must be considered carefully, for recent industry reports have predicted a flattening of the sales curve. Subsequently, top priorities must be established in terms of formulating competitive advantage strategies and improving sales. According to Christopher (1992) lessons can be learned through the interpretation of simulation projections and data, for these confirm the importance and effectiveness of environmental scanning, strategy formulation and choice, and the formulation of action plans and goals."

Abstract
This document discusses the weighted average cost of capital (WACC) and how it is employed by analysts, executives, and investors to make intelligent decisions about investments and business strategies. The paper examines a simulation in order to study WACC utilization principles while the conclusion discusses WACC relative to its application in the marketplace.
From the Paper
"The WACC-Debt to Equity simulation is an excellent exercise in the practical application of WACC relative to the management of an ongoing concern's debt to equity capital structure. While a small start can be less concerned about the nuances of its capital structure because they are usually funded from savings and thus well capitalized at the beginning, as soon as a small to medium enterprise begins to consider expansion or capital improvements, then determining WACC to evaluate funding strategies becomes paramount. Dayanada points out that determining the optimum debt to equity structure at the beginning of an initial expansion can determine the long term viability of the enterprise itself. "
