A non-invasive method to determine epidermal thickness from the intensity of transmitted visible light is proposed. A simple model for passing light through the epidermis layers, then measuring what is transmitted back out of the surface, is implemented by using the Montecarlo method. Simulations revealed that the transmittance is linearly dependent on the thickness of the epidermis and so demo...

The montecarlo method, which is quite commonly used to solve maximum entropy problems in statistical physics, can actually be used to solve inverse problems in a much wider context. The probability distribution which maximizes entropy can be calculated analytically by introducing Lagrange parameters. The problem of xing these lagrangean parameters is circumvented by introduction of a microcanon...

The last decade has seen the emergence of a wide range of automated calculations for supersymmetric extensions of the Standard Model. This guide contains a brief summary of these, with the main focus on hadron collider phenomenology, as well as a brief introduction to the so-called SUSY Les Houches Accord.

The based on inverse probability weights, derived parameters of survival function with complex forms censoring. apply this calculation proportion newly built dwellings Luxembourg, and run counterfactual experiment Montecarlo simulatio...

serum albumin is the most aboundant protein in blood plasma. its two major roles aremaintaining osmotic pressure and depositing and transporting compounds. in this paper,albumin-methanol solution simulation is carried out by three techniques including montecarlo (mc), molecular dynamic (md) and langevin dynamic (ld) simulations. byinvestigating energy changes by time and temperature (between 27...

In this paper the simulation and design of a quantum-film electro-optic switch is considered. This photonic device, is made from a new organic dipolar material called MNA or 2-methyl-4 nitroaniline, which possesses a high merit in comparison with it's inorganic counterparts (e.g. LiNbO3, GaAs, InSb, Quartz, etc). Montecarlo method is used to simulate the photon-it-electron interaction in this m...

In this work, we propose an hybrid multi-objective optimization design procedure for PI controller tuning. This procedure focuses on reliability-based optimization instances, where Montecarlo methods are used to evaluate quantitatively the performance degradation of a controller, due to unexpected or unmodeled dynamics. The procedure is evaluated on a non-linear Peltier process. The presented r...

We present efficient techniques for computing near optimal strategies for a class of stochastic commodity trading problems modeled as Markov decision processes (MDPs). The process has a continuous state space and a large action space and cannot be solved efficiently by standard dynamic programming methods. We exploit structural properties of the process, and combine it with MonteCarlo estimatio...

Integrated Deterministic and Probabilistic Dependability Analysis (IDPDA) is respectively required for safety properties verification and reliability & availability assessment of critical systems. This paper presents an approach towards IDPDA using Coloured Petri Nets (CPN). Contributions are related to: (a) hierarchical modelling guidelines that cover deterministic and probabilistic features o...
