The main dependent variable measured in the model is the membrane potential (millivolts) of two different neurons in a series. You will be able to add excitatory and inhibitory neurotransmitters, and compare how these modulate electrical impulses of the two neurons. Additionally, you will be able to compare the effects of three neurotoxins: Tetrodotoxin, botulinum toxin, and sarin nerve gas. While extremely lethal, these toxins are very instructive in understanding neurons because of the specific way the toxins act. Each toxin modifies or inhibits a specific molecule in neurons that help process and transmit information.

Do you ever feel like work is taking over your life? Burnout is generally characterized as a state of mental and physical exhaustion resulting in low productivity and de-personalization and is most likely caused by prolonged stress that does not dissipate. There are many different aspects that affect both the building and dissipation of burnout. This model focuses on workloads and vacations to see how they contribute to both your level of burnout and productivity. Use this model to ask questions about your workload and any benefits you would receive from taking a vacation. What happens when you suddenly have a bigger workload? What happens when work piles up? Does vacation increase or decrease your stress levels?

This is our first model in the From Imagination to Simulation series. It is a nod to the Halloween season and investigates a zombie apocalypse! Our fascination with zombies continually grows with the help of movies, TV shows, and books that give a wide range of zombie possibilities. But what are the dynamics behind a zombie epidemic? This model will specifically look at the spread of a zombie outbreak and examine some of the variables that help and hinder the rate of infection. We hope you will continue to see the benefits and versatility of Systems Thinking and enjoy our new series, From Imagination to Simulation! Continue to ponder those out-of-the-ordinary problems. They may seem unrealistic, but perhaps some of their dynamics may resonate with reality. Check out our zombie apocalypse model to see if there is any chance for human survival!

Explore a consulting firm’s headcount strategy. Understand the relationship between growth rates, promotion times, headcount pyramid ratios, and attrition rates. This model is based on actual work that was done with a very well-known consulting company (here, code-named TWBC, Inc.). The firm's strategic goals were well-articulated, and each made sense when written down in a list on a piece of paper. However, when subjected to the more rigorous, dynamic scrutiny that an iThink modeling effort provides, the goals (as is too often the case) turned out to be in conflict with one another--stimulating actions that worked at cross-purposes. Efforts to achieve one goal drove the firm farther away from achieving the others. The subsequent analysis conducted with the model also pointed the way toward resolving the internal strategic inconsistencies and putting the firm back onto a strategically sound growth path.

Some drugs act by binding covalently to their receptors. As a result, the target is destroyed and its function returns only when it has been replaced by newly synthesized product. The target may be a protein, DNA, an enzyme, or a cell at any stage of development. This model has been applied to the action of the proton pump inhibitors, which bind to and destroy the H+,K+-ATPase pumps in the parietal cells of the gastric mucosa. Normal proton secretion is restored only when the pumps are replaced by newly synthesized functioning pumps (i.e., the usual turnover time of the system).

Market-capitalism typically goes through cycles of expansion and contraction. Every now and then, these common economic cycles go off the hinges. They become unstable and can lead to recessions, crises and depressions—phenomena that economists typically look to exogenous forces to explain. Alternative, mostly Marxian and Keynesian, explanations for the instabilities have been sought within the structure of the economic system itself. One such explanation is provided by Steve Keen in his Goodwin-Minsky model. The model effectively mimics the dynamics of key indicators prior to, during and after the 2007/08 crisis. However, the model is also over-specified, highly sensitive to initial conditions and therefore more difficult to convey. In line with George Box’s plea for parsimony, this paper presents a more straightforward version of Keen’s model that remains consistent with its fundamental behaviour. The model also illustrates the potential for further dialogue between Marxian economics and system dynamics.

This model depicts a process with exogenous inflows where the efficacy of the process descreases in proportion to time spent in the process. It is followed by a quality control mechanism with sensitivities and specificities which also decrease with time spent in the quality process. This bounded process and quality control is then checked against a gold standard which then adjusts as necessary in alignment with larger policy goals and feeds a larger data set. This model represents a realistic vision of what frontline quality control mechanisms should exist in the healthcare delivery system. It can be used as a tool for policy making to determine what acceptable rates of efficacy and outcome can be tolerated as quality based payments grow in popularity.

A lot is happening behind the scenes to create this picturesque vista. Rainfall on land creates runoff and therefore stream flow. Some of this runoff is absorbed into the soil. Some of that flows beneath the ground to the stream and some returns to the air through evapotranspiration. Another part of it percolates further down through the soil layers to become part of the groundwater, which provides a base level flow for the stream. Using Stella Professional, we are able to draw a map that corresponds closely to the physical world and then simulate that map to see what happens. This both increases our understanding of how this system works and allows us to experiment with different policies that might lead to alternate, more desirable outcomes.

This simulation gives the user the ability to specify their own current condition (weight, age, height etc.), choose their exercise regime and eating plans. The simulator then gives a projection for the user's weight for the next year (at a weekly resolution). Please take note that most of the pictures are navigation buttons to different screens, so remember to click on the pictures. I have personally used this simulator to successfully lose more than 20 kg. Hope you find this as valuable as I did. Good luck with your weight journey!

A very simple, one stock, simulation of campus sexist attitudes toward rape and initimate partner violence. The model was originally developed in 1998 and later translated into Stella. The model has a number of modeling errors, but at the time, proved useful for gaining insight into the dynamics of the system and developing an innovative prevention program.

Congratulations! You've just been hired by the major grocery chain The Price Shopper as head of marketing. Your job is to turn around The Price Shopper's dismal sales of laundry detergent. The big-wigs have given you 12 months and a marketing budget of up to $10,000 per month to spend as you please. They'll decide to keep you, or send you to the cleaners based on how much profit you bring in over the year. Do you think you can make the big MONEY?

Supply Chain Management without Forecasting

Accurate demand forecasting is an essential part of most supply chain management algorithms. Yet, supply even in the most diligently managed chains can deviate widely from demand. Additionally, any disturbance in demand will often be amplified in a supply chain creating what is known as bullwhip effect. This simulation uses three parsimonious models to demonstrate that supply can be regulated reliably without forecasting demand. The inspiration for these models comes from PID (Proportional, Integral, Derivative) control in engineering controllers that utilize multiple functions of error (discrepancy between goal and actual condition) to regulate a quantity.

This model determines the number of years in which the global carbon budget will be exhausted. You set the carbon budget as a multiple of current carbon dioxide emissions. You choose a rate of economic growth and a rate of reduction in emissions intensity (emissions/GDP). The model puases when the carbon budget is exhausted. The model can be used to determine the exhaustion of national and regional carbon budgets as well following the same steps.

In this model, you will have a chance to explore these sorts of dynamics in the context of a consulting firm, where the same headcount can be allocated to business development activities and client service delivery. You'll see the classic pattern of "Feast or Famine," or the so-called "pig in a snake," emerge.

The larger the empire becomes, the more resources they have available to take further territory by force. However the further they expand, the harder they find it to keep expanding due to the geographical and organisational logistics involved. Additionally the empire finds it harder to maintain social cooperation among its people, its asabiya.

Keystone species are defined as a plant or animal that plays a unique role in the way the ecosystem functions. But what would happen if that species were removed? What ripple effects would be caused by the absence of this species? We can examine these questions by looking at the wolf population in Yellowstone National Park. Wolves once flourished in Yellowstone and its surrounding areas. However, soon after the area was settled, misperceptions caused by fear and hatred fueled a large extermination effort of the wolves. For nearly 70 years, wolves were absent from Yellowstone. During this time, the ecosystem changed and diminished until scientists realized the value of the wolves and reintroduced them to Yellowstone. This model, built in iThink, uses storytelling to understand the dynamics of this keystone species. What animals were affected by their presence or absence. See how wolves play a part in not only population control of their prey but other animals and even plants far down the trophic levels.

“The Shrimp Commodity System Learning Lab” was designed for individuals seeking to build their systems thinking muscle and policy-design skills. It has been used successfully in undergraduate and graduate courses where business sustainability and/or system dynamics applications are emphasized. The format offers learners a progression of interactive experiences on which to build an understanding of the issues of the global shrimp industry system, including wild fisheries and aquaculture, its financial instability, the environmental issues it faces, and how individual policy alternatives can be tested, analyzed and combined to address industry performance. The Learning Lab has two learning pathways: The Systems Thinking Basics course shows the application of systems thinking and stock-flow mapping as tools to hypothesize and express underlying system feedback structures contributing to issues such as resource depletion and environmental pollution. The Policy and Scenarios Advanced course deepens understanding of systems behavioral patterns by presenting policies which address commodity systems behavior challenges and by using alternative scenarios dealing with market forces as tests. Students in a course could be asked to provide their recommendations for a policy set which best achieves multiple performance objectives: industry wide profit growth for the two industry sectors, achieve coastal effluents improvements, and avoid large oscillations of shrimp populations and resource depletion in the wild fishery. Additional information is available in the Technical Note (UVA-OM-1428) that offers information for individual preparation assignments, suggestions for Group workshop activities, helpful causality notes for instructors, and insights into policy analyses. To obtain this Note or request further information about related shrimp industry cases, (UVA OM 1388 and 1389), contact Darden Business Publishing at http://store.darden.virginia.edu/contactus The Learning Lab was developed by Chris Soderquist, Pontifex Consulting and Professor Robert D. Landel of the Darden School, University of Virginia and is based on original research from Donella Meadows Institute (formerly Sustainability Institute) and Pontifex Consulting.

Experience the dynamics of making a business shift from traditional to e-commerce. Simulate different scenarios for how you’ll allocate spending on marketing versus infrastructure. You will see one of the more common dynamics in making a business shift, what Systems Thinkers refer to as the "worse before better" dynamic. If initial investments are made in the infrastructure quality rather than in marketing, total customers will actually fall for awhile. But if increasing amounts are spent on marketing (once the infrastructure is in place) then total customers will begin to explode. And the transition becomes successful!

Sim apps allow users to interact with a model using buttons, sliders, knobs, tables, graphs, and storytelling. These interactions help users understand how parts of a system interact.

Interfaces are created by model authors in the Stella desktop software and can be uploaded to the isee Exchange™.

Model

A diagram that represents how elements in a system influence one another.

Models are mathematical representations of how elements in a system are connected and interact (e.g., ecosystems, organizations, supply chains). When running models on the isee Exchange™, results can be viewed in output devices like graphs and tables.

Models appear in the isee Exchange™ directory when authors upload them from the Stella® desktop software or create them with Stella Online™.

Causal Loop Diagram (CLD)

A map that represents the feedback structure of a system.
