متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations to replace film dosimetry in IMRT verification.
Patient-specific verification of intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IMRT) plans can be done by dosimetric measurements or by independent dose or monitor unit calculations. The aim of this study was the clinical evaluation of IMRT verification based on a fast Monte Carlo (MC) program with regard to possible benefits compared to commonly used film dosimetry. 25 head-and-neck IMRT plans were r...
متن کاملMonte Carlo Device Simulations
As semiconductor devices are scaled into nanoscale regime, first velocity saturation starts to limit the carrier mobility due to pronounced intervalley scattering, and when the device dimensions are scaled to 100 nm and below, velocity overshoot starts to dominate the device behavior leading to larger ON-state currents. Alongside with the developments in the semiconductor nanotechnology, in rec...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulations.
A description of Monte Carlo methods for simulation of proteins is given. Advantages and disadvantages of the Monte Carlo approach are presented. The theoretical basis for calculating equilibrium properties of biological molecules by the Monte Carlo method is presented. Some of the standard and some of the more recent ways of performing Monte Carlo on proteins are presented. A discussion of the...
متن کاملMulticanonical Monte Carlo simulations
Canonical Monte Carlo simulations of disordered systems like spin glasses and systems undergoing rst-order phase transitions are severely hampered by rare event states which lead to exponentially diverging autocorrelation times with increasing system size and hence to exponentially large statistical errors. One possibility to overcome this problem is the multicanonical reweighting method. Using...
