Numerical simulation is a powerful tool used in various fields of science and engineering to model complex systems and predict their behavior. It involves developing mathematical models that describe the behavior of a system and using computer algorithms to solve these models numerically. By doing so, researchers and engineers can study the behavior of a system in detail, which may only be possible with analytical methods. Numerical simulation has many advantages over traditional analytical methods. It allows researchers and engineers to study complex systems¿ behavior in detail and predict their behavior in different scenarios. It also allows for the optimization of systems and the identification of design flaws before they are built. However, numerical simulation has its limitations. It requires significant computational resources, and the accuracy of the results depends on the quality of the mathematical models and the discretization methods used. Nevertheless, numerical simulation remains a valuable tool in many fields and its importance is likely to grow as computational resources become more powerful and widely available. Numerical simulation is widely used in physics, engineering, computer science, and mathematics. In physics, for example, numerical simulation is used to study the behavior of complex systems such as weather patterns, fluid dynamics, and particle interactions. In engineering, it is used to design and optimize systems such as aircraft, cars, and buildings. In computer science, numerical simulation models and optimization algorithms and data structures. In mathematics, it is used to study complex mathematical models and to solve complex equations. This book familiarizes readers with the practical application of the numerical simulation technique to solve complex analytical problems in different industries and sciences.

O objetivo é observar o desempenho do uso de softwares educacionais no processo de aprendizagem, especificamente na área de anatomia humana, e sua relação com a criação de ferramentas tecnológicas e pedagógicas que facilitaram o método de estudo. Através de um delineamento quase-experimental, a pesquisa foi aplicada a uma população constituída por alunos matriculados no curso de Enfermagem no ano letivo de 2017 - na disciplina de anatomia I, que corresponde ao primeiro ano do plano de estudo. Para tanto, foram tomadas como amostra duas divisões, representando um total de 54 alunos, sendo 26 do grupo I e 28 do grupo II. Destes, foram retirados alguns nomes por falta de comparência e por serem alunos irregulares, ficando 20 do grupo I, que foi o grupo de controlo, e 20 do grupo II, o experimental. O grupo experimental recebeu as aulas de apoio do software bonelab para o estudo dos ossos em 3D e o grupo de controlo recebeu as aulas pelo método tradicional.

The purpose is to observe the performance of the use of educational software in the learning process, specifically in the area of human anatomy, and its relationship with the creation of technological and pedagogical tools that facilitated the study method. Through a quasi-experimental design, the research was applied to a population made up of students enrolled in the Nursing course in the 2017 academic year - in the anatomy I course, which corresponds to the first year of the study plan. For this purpose, two divisions were taken as a sample, representing a total of 54 students, 26 from group I and 28 from group II. Of these, some names were removed due to non-attendance and because they were irregular students, leaving 20 from group I, which was the control group, and 20 from group II, the experimental one. The experimental group received the bonelab software support classes for the study of the bones in 3D. Those in the control group received classes using the traditional method.

This book describes the control loop-oriented change management process for implementing a digital business model via the holistic Organization 4.0 MITO configuration management. The content chapter structure of this MITO book with the description of the different transformation design views is based on the higher-level operational control loop principle within the MITO model segments shown in Figure 1. Whereby the management segment (M) is still subdivided on the default side into the process-related management segment and on the feedback side into the fact-related management segment. The MITO business model based on this supplements the 5 model segments with the downstream customer and upstream supplier segments and integrates the hierarchical process level model into the MITO model representation for the conception of the process-oriented target, management and control system.This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Ganzheitliche Businessmodell-Transformation by Hartmut F. Binner, published by Springer Fachmedien Wiesbaden GmbH, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.
