Monte Carlo Method for Calorimetric NRF Cargo Screening
… arms control treaty verification [41]. Standard methods of performing NRF involve the use of expensive HPGe detectors to detect a scattered signal to discriminate between isotopes of special nuclear materials. Furthermore these require a continuous wave (CW) beam, which currently can be delivered …

Modelling protein backbone loops using the Monte Carlo method
Novel methods that perform local moves such as the gaussian bias or Con-<br/>certed Rotation with Angles, increase the exploration of the conformational<br/>phase space. These methods have been applied successfully to small systems,<br/>and have proved to be more efficient than the classical Monte …

On the Gap-Tooth direct simulation Monte Carlo method
… and evaluates Gap-tooth DSMC (GT-DSMC), a direct Monte Carlo simulation procedure for dilute gases combined with the Gap-tooth method of Gear, Li, and Kevrekidis. The latter was proposed as a means of reducing the computational cost of microscopic (e.g. molecular) simulation methods using …

Uncertainty quantification of engineering systems using the multilevel Monte Carlo method
… engineering systems using the multilevel Monte Carlo method. It is often infeasible to use the traditional Monte Carlo method to investigate the impact of uncertainty because computationally it can be prohibitively expensive for complex systems. Therefore, the newer multilevel method is …

A Monte Carlo method for simulation of [pi]° production near threshold
The Monte Carlo method has been utilized to determine a procedure for the simulation of π° production near threshold. A number of computer programs have been written to perform as well as test the simulation process. The method consists of generating the pion angles in the center of mass frame and …

Assessment of high-fidelity collision models in the direct simulation Monte Carlo method
… more complex physics to be modeled in the DSMC method. Beginning with the first paper on DSMC in 1963, 30,000 collision events per hour were simulated using a simple hard sphere model. Today, more than 10 billion collision events can be simulated per hour for the same problem. Many new and more …

An off-lattice kinetic Monte Carlo method for the investigation of grain boundary kinetic processes
Kinetic Monte Carlo (Kc) methods have the potential to extend the accessible timescales of off-lattice atomistic simulations beyond the limits of molecular dynamics by making use of transition state theory and parallelization. However, it is a challenge to identify a complete catalog of events …

Advancements in the Path Integral Monte Carlo Method for Many -Body Quantum Systems at Finite Temperature
After describing these advancements in methodology, we apply our new technology to fluid sodium near its liquid-vapor critical point. In particular, we explore the microscopic mechanisms which drive the continuous change from a dense metallic liquid to an expanded insulating vapor above the …

Using the Monte Carlo Method to Teach Probabilistic Problem Solving to Ninth Grade General Mathematics Students
For over fifty years, mathematical curriculum reform studies throughout the United States (and other countries) have advocated the inclusion of topics from probability and statistics within the secondary school mathematics curriculum. The advanced nature of the mathematics required for conventional …
