3-D Monte Carlo surface wave tomography

Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions of a Plasma Column Driven by Surface Wave Plasma Discharges

In this work, applicability of Particle in Cell-Monte Carlo Collisions (PIC-MCC) simulation method for better understanding of the plasma physical mechanisms and real important aspects of a plasma column driven by surface wave plasma discharges that is used in plasma antennas is examined. Via the implementation of geometry and physical parameters of the plasma column to an Object Oriented PIC-M...

2-D Surface Wave Tomography in the Northwest Part of the Iranian Plateau

In this study, we obtained two-dimensional tomography maps of the Rayleigh wave group velocity for the northwest part of the Iranian Plateau in order to investigate the structure of the crust and the uppermost mantle of NW Iran. To do this, the local earthquake data during the period 2006-2013, recorded by the 10 broadband stations of the Iranian seismic network (INSN) were used. After the prel...

Surface-wave sensitivity to 3-D anelasticity

S U M M A R Y Lateral variations in mantle anelasticity (Q) are important for understanding the Earth’s thermal and chemical structure in the mantle. In the past decades, preliminary global 3-D tomographic Q models have been developed based upon the assumption that traveltime (phase delay) anomalies are due to the Earth’s elastic (velocity) structure whereas amplitude anomalies are dominated by...

Tomography Imaging Through the Monte Carlo Sampling

Monte Carlo method for bioluminescence tomography.

Bioluminescence imaging plays an important role in the areas of cancer biology, cell biology, gene therapy, and so on. The 2D planar bioluminescent imaging has been transformed into a 3D framework by bioluminescence tomography (BLT) that enables bioluminescent source reconstruction in a mouse using a modality fusion approach. To solve this BLT problem, a geometrical model of the mouse is usuall...
