Acoustical Modeling Using a Russian Roulette Strategy ∗

One of the problems with geometric (ray) based acoustical modeling approaches is handling the potentially large number of interactions between a propagating sound ray and objects/surfaces it may encounter. A sound ray incident on a surface may be absorbed, reflected both specularly and diffusely, be refracted and diffracted. Typical solutions to modeling such effects include emitting several “n...

Interdiction and Conventional Strategy: Prevailing Perceptions

Nuclear Proliferation Dynamics and Conventional Conflict∗

New nuclear nations are more prone to militarized conflict, though the overall effect of nuclear weapons on conventional disputes is neutral (Horowitz 2009, Gartzke & Jo 2009). Several processes might explain the non-linear relationship between proliferation and conflict. Nominal nuclear status could constitute a capability shock, altering the balance of power and increasing the probability of ...

Quantitative Assessment of Conventional and Modern De-Noising on Nuclear Medicine Images

Introduction: One of the major problems in the development of nuclear medicine images is the presence of noise. The noise level in nuclear medicine images is usually reduced by the analysis of imaging data in a Fourier transform environment. The main drawback of this environment belongs to low signal to noise ratio in high frequencies because removing noise frequencies may remove data and times...
