Discrete vs. Continuous Simulation: When Does It Matter? 1
number of customers in the system increases. The system is modeled using discrete event and continuous simulation. The results of two simulations are compared with each other and with their analytical solutions. In the second part, the number of customers in the system affects the arrival rate first with a continuous information delay, then with a discrete delay. Discrete and continuous simulations give very similar results in terms of dynamic behaviors of system variables. There are some minor differences in terms of the steady-state values of the variables, particularly the average time spent in system. Finally, increasing proportionately all parameters of the system (arrival rate and number of servers), reduces the discreteness of the system, bringing the discrete and continuous simulation results much closer.
Rethinking Sexuality Foucault and Classical Antiquity
In this collection of essays, historians and literary theorists assess the influence of Michel Foucault, particularly his "History of Sexuality", on the study of classics. Foucault's work presents a theory of sexuality for both ancient and modern times. These essays should help the reader to explore Foucault's model of Greek culture and see how well his interpretation accounts for the full range of evidence from Greece and Rome.
