aquaporins are integral membrane proteins from a larger family of major intrinsic proteins that formpores in the membrane of biological cells. aquaporins form tetramers in the cell membrane with eachmonomer acting as a water channel.in this research, the aqp4 tetramer was modeled from its pdbstructure file, then, we have performed the intraction of aquaporin4 in different temperatures (298k,300...

in this paper, we calculate electron and hole impactionization coefficients in in0.52al0.48as using a monte carlo modelwhich has two valleys and two bands for electrons and holesrespectively. also, we calculate multiplication factor for electronand hole initiated multiplication regimes and breakdown voltagein in0.52al0.48as pin avalanche photodiodes. to validate themodel, we compare our simulat...

in this work, based on experimental observations and exact theoretical predictions, the kinetic scheme of raft polymerization is extended to a wider range of reactions such as irreversible intermediate radical terminations and reversible transfer reactions. the reactions which have been labeled as kinetic scheme are the more probable existing reactions as the theoretical point of view. the deta...

background: physical wedges are still widely used as beam modifiers in external beam radiotherapy. however the presence of them in the beam trace may cause beam hardening which may not be considered in many treatment planning systems. the aim of this study is to investigate the beam hardening effect generated by physical wedges via different beam quality indexes as photon spectrum, half value l...

The performance of a program can sometimes greatly improve if it was known in advance the features of the input the program is supposed to process, the actual operating parameters it is supposed to work with, or the specific environment it is to run on. However, this information is typically not available until too late in the program’s operation to take advantage of it. This is especially true...

Title of the program LPAIR Computer SGI (originally developped on IBM) Programming language FORTRAN 77 Number of program lines ' 5300 Other programs used PDFLIB (for parton distributions), AXOHS (for phase space integration)...

In this paper we present functional Id and Haskell versions of a large Monte Carlo radiation transport code, and compare the two languages with respect to their expressiveness. Monte Carlo transport simulation exercises such abilities as parsing, input/output, recur-sive data structures and traditional number crunching, which makes it a good test problem for languages and compilers. Using some ...

Recently, Monte-Carlo Tree Search (MCTS) has advanced the field of computer Go substantially. In the game of Lines of Action (LOA), which has been dominated in the past by αβ, MCTS is making an inroad. In this paper we investigate how to use a positional evaluation function in a Monte-Carlo simulation-based LOA program (MC-LOA). Four different simulation strategies are designed, called Evaluati...

This paper investigates the problems arising in the construction of a program to play the game of contract bridge. These problems include both the difficulty of solving the game’s perfect information variant, and techniques needed to address the fact that bridge is not, in fact, a perfect information game. Gib, the program being described, involves five separate technical advances: partition se...

Algorithm UCB1 for multi-armed bandit problem has already been extended to Algorithm UCT (Upper bound Confidence for Tree) which works for minimax tree search. We have developed a Monte-Carlo Go program, MoGo, which is the first computer Go program using UCT. We explain our modification of UCT for Go application and also the intelligent random simulation with patterns which has improved signifi...
