The art, science, and simulation of performance
نویسنده
چکیده
This article juxtaposes two contrasting professional domains—surgery and music—as a starting point for discussing the concept of performance in different settings. The paper examines possible parallels between emergency surgery and jazz improvisation as distinct yet related forms of performance, drawing selectively upon relevant literature. It then develops the concept of simulation as a bridge between the closed world of the operating theatre and the wider world of those who cannot access it. Presenting an accurate yet safe “transcription” of this closed world can offer an experimental setting for exploration. The article describes Distributed Simulation, a concept developed by the author’s research group at Imperial College London. The possibilities of low-cost, portable yet highly realistic simulation extend beyond its obvious value for practicing safety-critical skills and procedures. There is clear potential for vicariously experiencing other worlds such as those of music, drama, and dance, allowing each domain to learn from others.

Operating parameters and membrane characteristics strongly affect the performance of electrodialysis reversal systems. The most impactful factors are applied voltage, flow rate, temperature, initial feed composition, and ion exchange membrane characteristics; the pH of the feed also has an effect, although to a lesser extent. To determine more precisely how all of these factors impact performan...
