During the last years ATLAS has successfully deployed a new integrated simulation framework (ISF) which allows a flexible mixture of full and fast detector simulation techniques within the processing of one event. The thereby achieved possible speed-up in detector simulation of up to a factor 100 makes subsequent digitization and reconstruction the dominant contributions to the Monte Carlo (MC)...

In his comment on The Indiscipline of Tourism, Neil Leiper steers his argument by way of an indisciplined scenic route, treating the reader to asides about the Royal Family, the tourism industry and even a journey to Austria with the economist Khan. His many asides serve often to obscure, rather than underpin, the conclusion that the discipline of tourism studies will probably continue to devel...

Estimating the probability that a sum of random variables (RVs) exceeds a given threshold is a well-known challenging problem. Closed-form expression of the sum distribution is usually intractable and presents an open problem. A crude Monte Carlo (MC) simulation is the standard technique for the estimation of this type of probability. However, this approach is computationally expensive especial...

Reed-Muller codes are studied for peak power control in multicarrier code-division multiple access (MC-CDMA) communication systems. In a coded MC-CDMA system, the information data multiplexed from users is encoded by a Reed-Muller subcode and the codeword is fully-loaded to Walsh-Hadamard spreading sequences. The polynomial representation of a coded MC-CDMA signal is established for theoretical...

Introduction: Low back pain is one of the factors causing morbidity and mortality in agricultural areas, namely syndrome experienced by individuals caused poor body position. This can injure soft tissue structures that include muscles ligaments. Community service aims to improve farmers' knowledge skills PTPN XII Gunung Gambir Jember Agricultural Area prevent low pain.

Canonical molecular dynamics MD and Monte Carlo MC simulations for liquid/vapor equilibrium in truncated Lennard-Jones fluid have been carried out. Different results for coexistence properties orthobaric densities, normal and tangential pressure profiles, and surface tension have been reported in each method. These differences are attributed in literature to different set up conditions, e.g., s...

We developed a novel ordinary differential equation (ODE) model, which produced results that correlated well with the Monte Carlo (MC) simulation when applied to a spatially-detailed model of the cardiac sarcomere. Configuration of the novel ODE model was based on the Ising model of myofilaments, with the "co-operative activation" effect introduced to incorporate nearest-neighbor interactions. ...

In this paper two different channel estimation techniques for a mobile beyond 3G MC-CDMA systems are evaluated. These techniques are the robust MMSE estimation with pre-estimator of autocorrelation channel matrix and the delay profile based estimation. Simulation results, carried out over a realistic propagation channel, compare the proposed channel estimation algorithms, in terms of the mean s...

The authors discuss techniques for Monte Carlo (MC) cohort simulations that reduce the number of simulation replications required to achieve a given degree of precision for various output measures. Known as variance reduction techniques, they are often used in industrial engineering and operations research models, but they are seldom used in medical models. However, most MC cohort simulations a...
