The target of our study is the Monarch Butterfly, which isknown for its multi-generational migration behavior: it mi-grates between southern Canada and Mexico over the courseof one year within three to four generations. In spite of manyreported studies, little is known about what influences theirmigration. We approach this subject by using an ecosystemmodel consisting of...

The paper gives the results of the project that is oriented on the usage of knowledge discoveries from production systems. Knowledge discoveries were used in the management of these systems. The simulation models of manufacturing systems were developed to obtain the necessary data about production. Data mining model was created by using of the specific methods and selected techniques for define...

The Ensembl project (http://www.ensembl.org) provides genome resources for chordate genomes with a particular focus on human genome data as well as data for key model organisms such as mouse, rat and zebrafish. Five additional species were added in the last year including gibbon (Nomascus leucogenys) and Tasmanian devil (Sarcophilus harrisii) bringing the total number of supported species to 61...

Video games designed for educational purposes often struggle to effectively connect concepts of interest to gameplay. We propose that to encourage players to mobilize knowledge resources for non-game settings such games must be representationally congruent. Representationally congruent games are construction games where the player builds and/or interacts with the game using primitives relevant ...

Computer simulation approaches are starting to be used more extensively throughout scientific investigations. Some scientists, however, are skeptical about the benefits of simulation. We present computer simulation as a scientific instrument in order to explore issues of their construction and use, which we believe might increase their acceptance within science. We highlight the need to underst...
