microworlds - microwerelden - learning objects
(products / applets / applications)
(Engelstalige zowel als Nederlandstalige versies van simulatie applicaties)
Thes applications are mostly developed with JavaTHESIS, some with HyperTHESIS or SuperTHESIS and some with the MacTHESIS system. Some programs are built with WebLib; but most with SimLib. One program is developed with the old RLCS-system.
AORTA
AORTA is a model about arteriosclerosis. Medical students can familiarize themselves with some basic concepts from hemodynamics and some aspects of arteriosclerosis. In using this microworld an answer is given to questions like 'What happens if the total peripheral
resistance of the circulation is increased?' The opposite can also be an educational goal, namely the question as to what is the cause of the deviating picture of the diastolic pressure in the aorta. 'Can the cause
of a decreased diastolic pressure in the aorta be a decreased
compliance of the aorta? Yes or no?' Students learn to handle notions like compliance and total peripheral resistance and changes there in.

AXON
AXON is a model about the action potential (the 'voltage' or 'output') in a nerve, in relation to a stimulus (the 'input'). In 1952 Hodgkin and
Huxley published a quantitative model of the electrical and
electrochemical phenomena in the environment of the membrane of a nerve fiber based on their theory. The original model of Hodgkin and Huxley was not a mathematical model but an electric circuit consisting
of capacitors and resistors. however, it is very simple to transfer this model into a mathematical model. Although some of the aspects of the
conductivity of the cell membrane were not described correctly by Hodgkin and Huxley, their model is still very useful for the education of
medical students and biology students as it can be used as a simplified version of the correct model thus helping the students to build a conceptual 'framework' model which can be filled with the complete and correct conceptual model in a later phase of their education. It can also be used as a demonstration for the experimental research techniques used in cell physiology (Oorsprong: Hodgkin & Huckly, Univ. of Limburg & R. Min).

BOILER (SUN HEATER)
BOILER is a model that is able to simulate the working of a solar boiler installation consisting of a collector, a storage vessel, a heat exchanger with a pump which runs through the collector and storage vessel and a
possibility for tapping. The simulation enables students to become familiar with the characteristics of a solar boiler and to gain insight
into the influences of different interventions in the model around the installation. A lot of interventions are possible. For example, students
can change the intensity of the sun-rays, the heat capacity of the collector, the reflexion of the collector, the primary pump, the outside temperature and the load of the boiler vessel (model: Wessels & Tung).

CARDIO, MacTHESIS system
CARDIO is a model to study the control mechanisms of human
bloodpressures. The model simulatates the blood pressure regulation
under normal and abnormal conditions. The model allows the
simulation of pathological conditions, such as myocardial infarct, renal
artery stenosis or renal insufficiency. Therapeutic interventions in
abnormal conditions can also be simulated. The program allows the
application of drugs like cardiac glycosides, diuretics or vasodilator. It
is original a model developed by T. Coleman. This microworld enables
students to experiment with the basic principles of blood pressure
regulation for a healthy young man. The program simulates an
experimental laboratory where hemodynamic research can be done,
variables can be registered, and where interventions in the model can
be made without real-life complications. With this model the student can
do a series of experiments, such as the simulation of heart failure,
hypertension, renal failure, exceptional blood loss, selective venous
constriction, and selective arterial constriction.

ECONOMY, training version
ECONOMY is a model about This program is based on a complex small
open economy model (the Netherlands) of Miltenburg. It is a product of
Enschede UT in cooporation with the Rotterdam University (EUR) and
the University of Moskou. The program covers: The Dutch economy and
in particular macro-economics. The relations are described in the form
of discrete mathematical formula. An aptitude for mathematics and
abstract thinking is a prerequisite for understanding the relationships.
A simulations of this economic system can be used in a game-like
context. The interaction with these game-like simulations can have two
positive effects on the students: an increased motivation to learn and the
gain of (almost) concrete experience, which is hard to gain in any other
way.

VIJVER (FOOD CHAIN)
VIJVER (FOOD CHAIN) is a model of the ecological processes of plants, minerals, water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Green plants (producers) synthesize organic material during photosynthesis. Light is required in order to do
this. Oxygen is produced during photosynthesis. For their food carps and silvercarps (consumers) depend on plants (directly or indirectly).
Within an ecosystem, several (long and short) food-chains and
food-webs may exist. The organic material is mineralized by bacteria and fungi (reducers). The microworlds can simulate five ponds. In each pond oxygen, nitrate, phosphate and detritus (a complex of organic material and fungi and bacteria) are present. Pond 1: Algae. Pond 2
Silvercarps. Pond 3: Zooplankton and Benthos. Pond 4: Carps. Pond 5: All together, Carps, Silvercarps, etc. (Biology, ecology, Svirezhev et al., Univ. of Moskow, van Schaick Zillesen & SLO).
