We have developed two go programs, Olga and Oleg, using a Monte Carlo approach, simpler than Bruegmann’s [Bruegmann, 1993], and based on [Abramson, 1990]. We have set up experiments to assess ideas such as progressive pruning, transpositions, temperature, simulated annealing and depth-two tree search within the Monte Carlo framework. We have shown that progressive pruning alone gives better res...

A solution of the CCFM equation for a description of both the structure function F 2 and the cross section of forward jet production as measured by the HERA experiments is obtained on the basis of the parton level Monte Carlo program Smallx. The treatment of the non-Sudakov form factor and the so-called " consistency constraint " are discussed. Following this a backward evolution scheme accordi...

one of known methods for measuring, forecasting and managing risk is value at risk, which recently has been used by financial institutions extensively. value at risk (var) is a method for recognizing and evaluating risk and uses standard statistical techniques that have daily using in other contexts. this research is seeking a career for managing investment risk in stock exchange and selection ...

in this study, monte carlo statistical mechanical simulations for vinblastine and vincristine werecarried out in standard manner using the metropolis sampling technique in canonical (t, v, n)ensemble., geometrical optimizations of vinblastine and vincristine were carried out with the hfmethod coupled to 6-31g(d) basis sets for all atoms. simulation was done by four force fields ofmm+, bio+, amb...

an important need in radiation therapy is a fast and accurate treatment planning system. this system using ct data and characteristics of the radiation beam, calculates the dose in all points of the patient’s volume. two main factors in planning system are “accuracy” and “speed”. according to these factors, various generation of treatment planning systems are developed.   this article is the re...

Library of anomalous τ τ γ couplings for τ + τ − (nγ) Monte Carlo programs ABSTRACT We briefly describe a library that may be used with any e + e − → τ + τ − (nγ) Monte Carlo program to account for the effects of anomalous τ τ γ couplings. The implementation of this library in KORALZ version 4.04 is discussed.

The Tsumego problem in Go was a basic and essential problem to be overcome in implementing a computer Go program. This paper proposed a reality of Monte-Carlo tree search in Tsumego of computer Go which using Monte-Carlo evaluation as an alternative for a positional evaluation function. The advantage of this technique was that it requires few domain knowledge or expert input.

This note provides a description of software that allows to fit Bayesian genetically structured variance models using Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC). The gsevm v.2 program was written in Fortran 90. The DOS and Unix executable programs, the user's guide, and some example files are freely available for research purposes at http://www.bdporc.irta.es/estudis.jsp. The main feature of the program i...

Computation using Monte Carlo simulations is widely used for modelling the light-tissue interaction. Despite this, many of the methods used for building such simulations are poorly described in the literature. In particular, a scheme for translating the scatter angles produced from a phase function into updated photon direction vectors is not explicitly reported. To address this, a method for c...
