abstract

in this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of raft polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. the reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. the detailed kinetic scheme is applied to three kinds of raft polymerization system by utilizing the monte carlo simulation method. to do this, a new approach of simulation method was used. in this approach, a multi-reaction step was used in each time step. unknown kinetic rate constants have obtained by curve fitting of the simulation results and theoretical data, applying the least square method; or estimated by considering theoretical facts and experimental findings. the origin of the rate retardation and induction period has been understood by studying the main and pre-equilibrium stages of dithiobenzoate-mediated raft homo polymerization. a copolymerization system in the presence of raft agent has also been examined to confirm the capability of introduced simulation method in different monomer/raft agent systems. the simulation results were in excellent agreement with experimental data, which proves the validity and applicability of the monte carlo algorithm.

Monte Carlo simulation of submonolayer vapor-deposition polymerization.

In this paper, we propose a Monte Carlo simulation model for the initial growth of polymer films by considering only monomer surface diffusion in the vapor-deposition polymerization process. In the model, monomers are deposited randomly on a two-dimensional square lattice with periodic boundary conditions and are allowed to diffuse with nearest neighbor hops. Whenever monomers meet, they stop d...

a new approach to credibility premium for zero-inflated poisson models for panel data

هدف اصلی از این تحقیق به دست آوردن و مقایسه حق بیمه باورمندی در مدل های شمارشی گزارش نشده برای داده های طولی می باشد. در این تحقیق حق بیمه های پبش گویی بر اساس توابع ضرر مربع خطا و نمایی محاسبه شده و با هم مقایسه می شود. تمایل به گرفتن پاداش و جایزه یکی از دلایل مهم برای گزارش ندادن تصادفات می باشد و افراد برای استفاده از تخفیف اغلب از گزارش تصادفات با هزینه پائین خودداری می کنند، در این تحقیق ...

Monte Carlo simulation of two 106Ru eye plaques in a new mathematical human eye model

  BEBIG Ruthenium-106 ophthalmic plaques have been used for treatment of uveal melanoma, retinoblastoma, melanoma of the iris and other special applications for many years. The plaques consist of a thin film of 106Ru, a beta emitter, encapsulated in pure silver. The present work proposes a new mathematical eye model for ophthalmic brachytherapy dosimetry. This new mod...

A Monte Carlo simulation technique for assessment of earthquake-induced displacement of slopes

The dynamic response of slopes against earthquake is commonly characterized by the earthquake-induced displacement of slope (EIDS). The EIDS value is a function of several variables such as the material properties, slope geometry, and earthquake acceleration. This work is aimed at the prediction of EIDS using the Monte Carlo simulation method (MCSM). Hence, the parameters height, unit specific ...

Developing a software for simulation of gaseous detectors with Monte carlo method in c++ programming language

In this paper we consider a gaseous detector and supposed, because of pass of an ionizing radiation, an electron created inside it. By numerical simulation with monte carlo method and concluding the impacts, scatterings and creation of secondary electrons, we find the trajectory of initial and secondary electrons. Dependence of number of secondary electrons to applied electrical field is invest...
