In recent years, wireless sensor network had been more and more widely used in our daily life, and with the proposed of Monte Carlo localization (MCL) algorithm, node localization of the mobile wireless sensor network had been solved effectively. But it needed to have a large number of samples if it used the Monte Carlo localization algorithm to obtain a high positioning accuracy. This paper pr...

Monte Carlo algorithms Definition 1. • A Monte Carlo algorithm is an algorithm whose output is incorrect with probability at most p. • A one sided error means that an algorithm’s input is incorrect only on true outputs, or false outputs but not both. • A false negative Monte Carlo algorithm is always correct when it returns false. Suppose we have an algorithm A for a decision problem which: • I...

objective: the passage of ionizing radiation in living cells creates clusters of damaged nucleotides in dna. in this study, dna strand breaks induced by the beta particle of iodine-131 (i-131), have been determined experimentally and compared to monte carlo simulation results as a theoretical method of determining131i damage. materials and methods: in this experimental study, in order to create...

RNA secondary structure folding kinetics is known to be important for the biological function of certain processes, such as the hok/sok system in E. coli. Although linear algebra provides an exact computational solution of secondary structure folding kinetics with respect to the Turner energy model for tiny ([Formula: see text]20 nt) RNA sequences, the folding kinetics for larger sequences can ...

In this paper, we discuss the statistical inference on the unknown parameters and reliability function of type-II extreme value (EVII) distribution when the observed data are progressively type-II censored. By applying EM algorithm, we obtain maximum likelihood estimates (MLEs). We also suggest approximate maximum likelihood estimators (AMLEs), which have explicit expressions. We provide Bayes ...

introduction in this study, we aimed to calculate dose enhancement factor (def) for gold (au) and iron (fe) nanoparticles (nps) in brachytherapy and teletherapy, using monte carlo (mc) method. materials and methods in this study, a new algorithm was introduced to calculate dose enhancement by aunps and fenps for iridium-192 (ir-192) brachytherapy and cobalt-60 (co-60) teletherapy sources, using...

Inference for a complex system with a rough energy landscape is a central topic in Monte Carlo computation. Motivated by the successes of the Wang–Landau algorithm in discrete systems, we generalize the algorithm to continuous systems. The generalized algorithm has some features that conventional Monte Carlo algorithms do not have. First, it provides a new method for Monte Carlo integration bas...

The area of a jet is a measure of its susceptibility to radiation, like pileup or underlying event (UE), that on average, in the jet’s neighbourhood, is uniform in rapidity and azimuth. In this article we establish a theoretical grounding for the discussion of jet areas, introducing two main definitions, passive and active areas, which respectively characterise the sensitivity to pointlike or d...

Purpose: The dosimetric accuracy of the recently released Acuros XB advanced dose calculation algorithm (Varian Medical Systems, Palo Alto, CA) is investigated for single radiation fields incident on homogeneous and heterogeneous geometries, as well as for two arc (VMAT) cases and compared against the analytical anisotropic algorithm (AAA), the collapsed cone convolution superposition algorithm...
