On a problem in neutron transport theory

Neutron Transport Theory and Simulation

Devoted to describing neutron movement in media and the corresponding laws, neutron transport theory is the research basis for transmutation and activation, radiation damage to materials, radiation dose, and biological safety, among other topics. There are two methods for neutron transport calculation: the Monte Carlo method (also called the probabilistic method or the stochastic method) and th...

The effect of anisotropic scattering on the critical slab problem in neutron transport theory using a synthetic kernel

The effect of widely differing scattering laws on the critical thickness of a multiplying slab in one-speed neutron transport theory is studied using a scattering kemel which consists of a linear combination of backward, forward and isotropic scattering. An extensive numerical survey is carried out for the critical thickness in order to provide benchmark results for future studies. ‘Exact’ solu...

On the Duality Theory for the Monge–Kantorovich Transport Problem

This article, which is an accompanying paper to [BLS09], consists of two parts: In section 2 we present a version of Fenchel’s perturbation method for the duality theory of the Monge– Kantorovich problem of optimal transport. The treatment is elementary as we suppose that the spaces (X,μ), (Y, ν), on which the optimal transport problem [Vil03, Vil09] is defined, simply equal the finite set {1, ...

on translation of politeness strategies in dialogues involving female characters in translations and retranslations of novels translated before and after the islamic revolution of iran and their effects on the image of women: a polysystem theory approach

abstract reception environment has considerable effects on accepting a translation. as the expectations of a target culture and its values and needs change throughout history, its criteria for accepting a translation or rejecting it will change accordingly (gentzler, 2001). the expectations of iran, as the reception environment in the present study, have changed after the islamic revolution. i...
