An Application of High Fidelity FTDs for Ab Initio Pilot Training: The Way Ahead

Decreases in simulation costs and increases in aircraft training costs led to the need for further investigation into the application of simulation-based training. Researchers conducted an eighteen-month study using ab initio student pilots as participants. This study applied a Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) approved, Part 142, flight-training curriculum that included 60% flight training...

The effectiveness of case virtual reality therapy on corona anxiety

In conditions such as the prevalence of COVID-19, many people experience many concerns, including disease anxiety. The purpose of this study was to investigate the effectiveness of case virtual reality therapy on corona anxiety. The present study was a quasi-experimental study with the control group, pre-test and post-test with random assignment. The statistical population of the present study ...

A special purpose computer for ab initio molecular dynamics simulations

Constructing ab initio force fields for molecular dynamics simulations

We explore and discuss several important issues concerning the derivation of many-body force fields from ab initio quantum chemical data. In particular, we seek a general methodology for constructing ab initio force fields that are ‘‘chemically accurate’’ and are computationally efficient for large-scale molecular dynamics simulations. We investigate two approaches for modeling many-body intera...
