Implementation of Single Alpha-Particle Traversal Microdosimetric Model

Anisotropic single-particle dissipative particle dynamics model

Support of NAT traversal in IKEv2 implementation

Network Address Translation (NAT) is a mechanism introduced with a primary purpose to postpone the problem of IPv4 addresses shortage, but it also has some other uses, most notably, easier site renumbering. From its introduction in the middle of 90's up until now, usage of NAT solution on the Internet has surged, but in the same time it is a very controversial subject since it introduces many p...

Traversal Graphs: Characterization and Efficient Implementation

Adaptive Programming (AP) provides programmers with a graph abstraction of their OO program’s structure (called a class graph) and encapsulates traversals and computation along traversals as adaptive methods. An adaptive method consists of a selector specification, called a strategy, that selects paths in the class graph, and a behavior definition with advice on nodes that are executed while tr...

Single-particle Langevin model of particle temperature in dusty plasmas

A model of heating a particle in a dusty plasma is developed to predict the particle kinetic temperature. A Langevin approach is developed, generalizing a familiar Brownian motion model. Particles are cooled by neutral gas while being heated by one of two mechanisms: fluctuating electric fields and randomly fluctuating particle charge. Expressions are derived for the particle temperature result...

Interpreting microdosimetric spectra

The field of microdosimetry is the study of those physical characteristics of energy transfers other than dose that produce variations in biological consequences of exposures to radiation. Historically, this area developed primarily from a need to understand and quantify the differences in human responses to different types of radiation, in particular the variations in late complications for th...
