«One of the results that surprised us all was the number of computer simulations that indicated a temporary halt to the loss of the ice,» study researcher Jennifer Kay, a scientist at the National Center for Atmospheric Research (NCAR), said in a statement.

Until now this type of analysis has been a tedious process that involves comparing actual images of lenses with a large number of computer simulations of mathematical lensing models.

This why an increasing number of researchers are turning to advanced computer simulations.

Standard forms of CRISPR gene drives, as the tools are called, can make tweaked DNA race through a population so easily that a small number of stray animals or plants could spread it to new territory, predicts a computer simulation released November 16 at bioRxiv.org.

A game of chess can be represented a number of ways (from left): a physical board, a drawn illustration, a computer simulation, and algebraic notation.

The group hopes to conduct further experiments at cryogenic temperatures, and plans to perform computer simulations investigating how great numbers of varied particles might clump together to form larger structures.

The team found that computer simulations that included either of these processes increased the number of ice crystals by 10 to 15 times, similar to amounts found in actual cloud measurements.

However, by using computer simulations to allow the dark matter to become a little more interactive with the rest of the material in the universe, such as photons, we can give our cosmic neighborhood a makeover and we see a remarkable reduction in the number of galaxies around us compared with what we originally thought.

There are a number of computer - facilitated simulation and game development tools available that can be used for soft - skill simulation, role - playing game development and for creating scenario / story - based content.

Asking a computer to do that simulation, where your interest can even vary by the number of days in each month, is easy; and calculating the result this way is as viable as using a fancy equation.

There is currently no consensus on the optimal way to divide computer resources among finer numerical grids, which allow for better simulations; greater numbers of ensemble members, which allow for better statistical estimates of uncertainty; and inclusion of a more complete set of processes (e.g., carbon feedbacks, atmospheric chemistry interactions).

Also the behaviour of our numerical simulations of the atmosphere would continue to be affected by the problems typical of model simulations of chaotic dynamical systems even if we could have perfect initial conditions, write perfectly accurate evolution equations and solve them with perfect numerical schemes, just because of the limited number of significant digits used by any computer (Lorenz, 1963).

If a computer simulation of climate can't beat a table of random numbers over the United States, it borders on scientific malpractice to continue to apply it.

, according to NASA scientists: «Coincidence, conspired to dampen warming trends» — Excuse number 10 for global warming «pause» or «standstill» — NASA's Gavin Schmidt & colleagues finds «that a combination of factors, by coincidence, conspired to dampen warming trends in the real world after about 1992» — Latest excuse for global temperature standstill mocked by skeptics: «Apparently, if you go back and rework all the forcings, taking into account new data estimates (add half a bottle of post-hoc figures) and «reanalyses» of old data (add a tablespoon of computer simulation) you can bridge the gap and explain away the pause.»

«We should not be using public money to pay for faster and faster computers so that increasingly fine - grained climate models can be subjected to ever larger numbers of simulations until we have got the data to test whether the predictions of existing models are confirmed (or not disconfirmed) by the evidence.»
