Simulation study of how body shapes and sizes affected energetic efficiency helps explain relative success of early Polynesian voyaging

USF's new program provides a defined pathway for students into high-demand field of simulation specialists, offering expertise in technical and operational aspects of simulation-based training. The program addresses a growing need for health care simulation workers to advance patient safety and care quality.

International researchers have found that energetic particles can alter the structure of edge-localized modes in tokamaks. This interaction mechanism could lead to more efficient ELM control techniques and improved plasma stability. The study's results have significant implications for future fusion power plants.

Researchers developed a facile one-step aqueous synthetic strategy for fused azole–pyrimidine energetic materials, achieving high thermal stability and strong detonation performance. The method produced compounds with balanced energetic and thermal properties, comparable to conventional heat-resistant explosives like HNS.

The study demonstrates a direct hydrazine substitution strategy to construct fused heterocyclic energetic skeletons with tunable structural and energetic properties. The compounds exhibit exceptional thermal stability and low impact sensitivities, making them suitable for heat-resistant applications.

A simulation study clarifies the physical mechanism of coupled plasma fluctuations, which can lead to significant losses of energetic particles in fusion research. The study reveals that the two fluctuations occur in a coupled manner via deformation of the energetic particle distribution function.

A study found that virtual-physical scenario simulation improves nursing students' learning immersion in home visit training, but the effects on skills need further investigation. The integrated simulation model increased students' emotional buy-in and learning experience, making the interaction feel more realistic.
