ABSTRACT The concept of model qualification, i.e., discovering the domain over which a validated model may be properly used, was illustrated with LATEBLIGHT, a mathematical model that simulates the effect of weather, host growth and resistance, and fungicide use on asexual development and growth of Phytophthora infestans on potato foliage. Late blight epidemics from Ecuador, Mexico, Israel, and...

In spite of the increasing concern on the role of technological change and innovation as a key factor of sustainability, environmental economics has paid little attention to the understanding of environmental innovation. Until recently, scholars working in environmental economics consider environmental innovation as induced by regulation. Within this perspective, one of the main research questi...

This paper relates an experiment that seeks the introduction of simulation as teaching and learning tool to the students of Production Engineering and Business Administration courses, and for recycle process of executives, to offer to the student the opportunity to verify, for its own initiative, the acquired knowledge and its applicability. It is intended, besides presenting the method describ...
