Parallel-tempering cluster algorithm for computer simulations of critical phenomena.
In finite-size scaling analyses of Monte Carlo simulations of second-order phase transitions one often needs an extended temperature range around the critical point. By combining the parallel-tempering algorithm with cluster updates and an adaptive routine to find the temperature window of interest, we introduce a flexible and powerful method for systematic investigations of critical phenomena....
متن کاملSimulations of astronomical imaging phased arrays.
We describe a theoretical procedure for analyzing astronomical phased arrays with overlapping beams and apply the procedure to simulate a simple example. We demonstrate the effect of overlapping beams on the number of degrees of freedom of the array and on the ability of the array to recover a source. We show that the best images are obtained using overlapping beams, contrary to common practice...
متن کاملProactive Agents to Assist Multimodal Explorative Learning of Astronomical Phenomena
This paper focuses on developing, testing, and examining the Proagents multimodal learning environment to support blind children’s explorative learning in the area of astronomy. We utilize haptic, auditive, and visual interaction. Haptic and auditory feedbacks make the system accessible to blind children. The system is used as an exploration tool for children’s spontaneous and question-driven e...
