1. simulation

   A pretense, in the unfavorable, which is also the usual sense, is something advanced or displayed for the purpose of concealing the reality. A person makes a pretense of something for the credit or advantage to be gained by it; he makes what is allowed or approved a pretext for doing what would be opposed or condemned; a tricky schoolboy makes a pretense of doing an errand which he does not do, or he makes the actual doing of an errand a pretext for playing truant. A ruse is something (especially something slight or petty) employed to blind or deceive so as to mask an ulterior design, and enable a person to gain some end that he would not be allowed to approach directly. A pretension is a claim that is or may be contested; the word is now commonly used in an unfavorable sense. Compare ARTIFICE; HYPOCRISY.

   E-cigarettes ... provide a very good simulation of traditional smoking (and) we have shown that using e-cigarettes with fMRI is an excellent paradigm for direct evaluation of the effects of smoking on human neurophysiology.

2. Michael Hess:

   The simulations were a great opportunity to practice procedures and to coordinate decision-making for the mission management team, especially with respect to weather, simulation supervisors do a great job at picking cases that really make the team think and discuss.

3. Pierre Peron:

   If you need a helicopter to get to a certain place, do you know who to speak to to get that to happen? Thanks to the simulation exercises, we do.

4. John Hutchinson:

   What speed giant tyrannosaurs might have normally walked at hasn't been a big question for many studies, but it is still an interesting question. The approach used here is complementary to fancier muscle-based simulation studies and, in a way, to data from fossil footprints, this study covers some new ground in a clever way with an original model. It's interesting and would be useful to integrate with and compare with other approaches in the future.

5. Garrett Jensen:

   We found the optimal angle is about 40 degrees off the ground. Once Dillon Ruble’re aiming that high, Dillon Ruble throw as hard as possible. That gives us our best distance, it took simulations to figure that out. I did n’t think we could get useful data from a simulation on a paper airplane. Turns out, we could.
