medical linear accelerators are one of the most widespread methods for cancer treatment. despite their advantages, unwanted photoneutrons are produced by high energy linacs. this photoneutrons are as undesired doses to patients and a significant problem for radiation protection of the staffs and patients. photoneutrons radiological risk must be evaluated because of their high let and range.in o...

In Hybrid Monte Carlo simulations for full QCD, the gauge fields evolve smoothly as a function of Molecular Dynamics time. Here we investigate improved methods of estimating the trial or starting solutions for the Dirac matrix inversion as superpositions of a chronological sequence of solutions in the recent past. By taking as the trial solution the vector which minimizes the residual in the li...

this paper proposes a hybrid method to find cumulative distribution function (cdf) of completion time of gert-type networks (gtn) which have no loop and have only exclusive-or nodes. proposed method is cre-ated by combining an analytical transformation with gaussian quadrature formula. also the combined crude monte carlo simulation and combined conditional monte carlo simulation are developed a...

Monte Carlo is one of the most versatile and widely used numerical methods. Its convergence rate, O(N~^), is independent of dimension, which shows Monte Carlo to be very robust but also slow. This article presents an introduction to Monte Carlo methods for integration problems, including convergence theory, sampling methods and variance reduction techniques. Accelerated convergence for Monte Ca...

We have developed a perturbation Monte Carlo method for calculating forward and inverse solutions to the optical tomography imaging problem in the presence of anatomical a priori information. The method uses frequency domain data. In the present work, we consider the problem of imaging hemodynamic changes due to brain activation in the infant brain. We test finite element method andMonte Carlo ...

Abstract A new, analytical approach using the cumulant method is proposed for three-phase probabilistic power-flow (PPF) analysis. The to forming sensitivity matrix based on quantifying pseudo-inverse instead of inverse jacobian matrix, since it commonly singular in a distribution power network. results are compared with those obtained point-estimate (PEM) and Monte Carlo (MC) method, which use...

This paper surveys recent research on using Monte Carlo techniques to improve quasi-Monte Carlo techniques. Randomized quasi-Monte Carlo methods provide a basis for error estimation. They have, in the special case of scrambled nets, also been observed to improve accuracy. Finally through Latin supercube sampling it is possible to use Monte Carlo methods to extend quasi-Monte Carlo methods to hi...

monte carlo simulation is a standard technique for project risk analysis. however, some assumptions of this technique are not reasonable in real world. when a project falls behind the schedule, managers take actions to improve the performance. nevertheless, most of the simulation models as monte carlo omit these reactions in their analysis, which results in unreasonable wide distributions or ev...
