Measurement of uncertainty in orientation distribution function calculations
نویسندگان
چکیده
A technique to quantify the uncertainty in an estimated orientation distribution function (ODF) by propagating the uncertainty from measured pole figures is demonstrated in this paper using Monte Carlo techniques and the Matlab toolbox for quantitative texture analysis. Unlike the uncertainty in the measured pole figures, where small values of intensity correlate to high uncertainty, uncertainty as a function of orientation in an ODF is not directly related to intensity.

Modeling and dose calculations of a pure beta emitting 32P coated stent for intracoronary brachytherapy by Monte Carlo code
Background: Recently, different investigators have studied the possibility of radiation therapy in restenosis prevention and have shown promising results. In this study a unique radioactive source for intra vascular brachytherapy (IVBT) was investigated. The two-dimensional dose distribution in water for a 32P IVBT stent has been calculated. The pure beta emitter source 32P has been co...
متن کاملStiffness Prediction of Beech Wood Flour Polypropylene Composite by using Proper Fiber Orientation Distribution Function
One of the most famous methods to predict the stiffness of short fiber composites is micromechanical modeling. In this study, a Representative Volume Element (RVE) of a beech wood flour natural composite has been designed and the orientation averaging approach has been utilized to predict its stiffness tensor. The novelty of this work is in finding the proper fiber orientation distribution func...

Optimum distance is defined as a distance from the air -shower core in which the density of a number of particles calculated by the lateral distribution function at that distance has the least uncertainty. Furthermore, with a good approximation, this distance is independent of the characteristics of primitive ray and it only depends on the geometric shape of array . In this paper, by simu...
