This paper explains the effect of a motion platform closed loop control comparing to the static condition for driving simulators on postural instability. The postural instabilities of the participants (N=18, 15 male and 3 female subjects) were measured as lateral displacements of subject body centre of pressure (YCP ) just before and after each driving session via a balance platform. After havi...

In this paper, we propose a flow-level simulator called FSIM (Fluid-based SIMulator) for performance evaluation of large-scale networks, and verify its effectiveness using our FSIM implementation. The notable feature of our flow-level simulator FSIM is fast simulation execution compared with a conventional flow-level simulator. For accelerating simulation execution speed, our flow-level simulat...

AIM The aim of this study was to evaluate how simple it is to build a homemade low-cost simulator using a simple 5-step scheme. METHODS A scheme explaining how to build an endoscopic surgery simulator in 5 easy steps was presented to 26 surgeons. The simulator required a pair of scissors and easy-to-find materials. Its total cost was less than €35. The participants assessed the simulator usin...
