What's the difference between simulation and spreadsheet?

Simulation


Definition:

  • (n.) The act of simulating, or assuming an appearance which is feigned, or not true; -- distinguished from dissimulation, which disguises or conceals what is true.

Example Sentences:

  • (2) We present a mathematical model that is suitable to reconcile this apparent contradiction in the interpretation of the epidemiological data: the observed parallel time series for the spread of AIDS in groups with different risk of infection can be realized by computer simulation, if one assumes that the outbreak of full-blown AIDS only occurs if HIV and a certain infectious coagent (cofactor) CO are present.

  • (16) Using the rate coefficient values found by SCoPfit, we simulated a voltage-clamp experiment with both models running under their Na(+)-Na+ exchange mode, and we computed the transient currents generated following voltage steps in both depolarizing and hyperpolarizing directions from a basic potential of -40 mV.
  • (17) By using increased feed-forward gain in a sampled-data control model we simulated the pattern of macrosaccadic oscillation.
  • (18) Studies on antimicrobial effect kinetics in dynamic models in vitro simulating pharmacokinetic profiles observed in humans markedly promote the problem solution.
  • (19) The technique was applied to the classification of MUAP's extracted from simulated myoelectric signals.
  • (20) The latter animals were raised in an automated feeding device (Autosow) with an artificial diet simulating the nutritional composition of sow milk.

Spreadsheet


Definition:

Example Sentences:

  • (2) A variety of spreadsheet templates can be created to analyze data for a standard curve, a Scatchard plot, or a binding competition curve.
  • (3) As data are entered into spreadsheet cells, the program simultaneously determines if the criteria for appropriate drug use are met.
  • (4) "Now we're just on a spreadsheet as assets to be disposed of, to be ticked off.
