The multiscale full-spectrum k-distribution (MSFSK) method has become a promising method for radiative heat transfer in inhomogeneous media. The scope of the MSFSK method has been limited to radiation calculations involving inhomogeneous gas mixtures only. The objective of this paper is to develop a MSFSK model that is accurate for inhomogeneous mixtures of both gases and nongray particles, suc...

This article studies the inhomogeneous geometric polynuclear growth model; distribution of which is related to Schur functions. We explain a method derive its functions in both space-like and time-like directions, focusing on two-time distribution. Asymptotics KPZ-scaling limit then considered, extending two times several single-time distributions KPZ universality class.

Introduction: Inclusion of inhomogeneities such as air-filled cavities in the head and neck treatment fields may result in potential dosimetric disagreement which was caused by electronic disequilibrium. Most of treatments planning systems (TPS) are not able to predict dose distribution of inhomogeneous regions accurately. EBT2 films are used frequently in radiotherapy quality ass...

We present measurements of the clustering of hot and cold patches in the microwave background sky as measured from the W ilkinson M icrowave Anisotropy Probe (WMAP) five-year data. These measurements are compared with theoretical predictions which assume that the cosmological signal obeys Gaussian statistics. We find significant differences from the simplest Gaussian-based prediction. However, ...

The paper is devoted to analytical studies of the influence of horizontal inhomogeneity of clouds on their radiative properties in the framework of the asymptotic radiative transfer theory. It is assumed that a cloud field is optically thick. Thus, only overcast cloud fields are under consideration. The study is based on the independent column approximation, assuming Gamma distribution of cloud...
