A method for generating random U(1) variables with Boltzmann distribution is presented. It is based on the rejection method with transformation of variables. High efficiency is achieved for all range of temparatures or coupling parameters, which makes the present method especially suitable for parallel and pipeline vector processing machines. Results of computer runs are presented to illustrate...

We calculate the efficiency of a rejection-free dynamic Monte Carlo method for d-dimensional off-lattice homogeneous particles interacting through a repulsive power-law potential r(-p). Theoretically we find the algorithmic efficiency in the limit of low temperatures and/or high densities is asymptotically proportional to rho(p+2)/2T(-d/2) with the particle density rho and the temperature T. Dy...

Accelerated algorithms for simulating the morphological evolution of strained heteroepitaxy based on a ball and spring lattice model in three dimensions are explained. We derive exact Green’s function formalisms for boundary values in the associated lattice elasticity problems. The computational efficiency is further enhanced by using a superparticle surface coarsening approximation. Atomic hop...

studies have shown that patients who do not produce donor specific and / or panel reactive anti-hla antibodies have a longer graft survival. the purpose of this study was to evaluate the posttransplant humoral immune response towards hla-class i antigens and the measurement of the serum creatinine levels which are used in monitoring posttransplant function of kidney. serum samples from 132 rena...

Virtual private networks (VPNs) provide customers with a secure and manageable communication environment. The allocation of bandwidth for VPNs to meet the requirements specified by customers is now one of the most important research issues in the field of traffic engineering. A VPN resource-provisioning model called hose-model was developed to provide customers with a flexible and convenient wa...

Germanium detectors have very good capabilities for the investigation of rare phenomena like the neutrinoless double beta decay. Rejection of the background entangling the expected signal is one primary goal in this kind of experiments. Here, the attainable background reduction in the energy region where the neutrinoless double beta decay signal of Ge is expected to appear has been evaluated fo...

Separation of amoxicillin from pharmaceutical wastewater by nanofiltration (NF) membrane has been investigated in this study. For this purpose a membrane system including a polyamide spiral wound NF membrane was evaluated for the treatment of amoxicillin wastewater. The effects of operating conditions such as flow rate, pressure and concentration of amoxicillin and COD in the feed, on the effic...

Micellar Enhanced Ultrafiltration (MEUF) of different phenolic derivatives including para-coumaric acid, vanillic acid, and tyrosol, in aqueous solutions has been studied. The MEUF experiments were conducted using an anionic surfactant, namely, Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate (SDS). Two polyethersulfone membranes with different molecular weight cut-off (20 kDa and 50 kDa) were used. Experiments were con...

This study investigates the impacts of chemical preservation on the performance of polyamide reverse osmosis membranes with respect to water permeability and solute rejection. Three preservative chemicals, namely formaldehyde, sodium metabisulfite, and 2,2-Dibromo-3-Nitrilopropionamide, were evaluated for membrane preservation at pH 3 and 7. Experimental data show that chemical preservation may...
