agricultural drought has resulted in great damage to iran in recent years and it is crucial to cope with this adversity through logical management. one attempt in this regard is to compare affected sites and prioritize them for action plans. this paper develops a methodology for agricultural drought risk analysis based on rain-fed wheat data from kermanshah province and employs it to compare af...

performing a probabilistic study rather than a determinist one is a relatively easy way to quantify the uncertainty in an engineering design. due to the complexity and poor accuracy of the statistical moment methods, the monte carlo simulation (mcs) method is wildly used in an engineering design. in this work, an mcs-based reliability analysis was carried out for the stability of the chain pill...

one of the most important parameters used for determining the performance of tunnel boring machines (tbms) is their penetration rate. the parameters affecting the penetration rate can be divided in two categories. the first category is the controllable parameters such as the tbm technical characteristics, and type and geometry of the tunnel, and the second one is the uncontrollable parameters s...

background: the purpose of this study was to investigate the application of the monte carlo technique to calculate and analysis of dosimetric parameters for electron beams used in radiotherapy. this technique is based on statistical method and has a powerful role in different radiotherapy aspects. materials and methods: the simulated medical linear accelerator was the varian clinac 2100c. the e...

This paper concerns Kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) algorithms that have a singleevent execution time independent of the system size. Two methods are presented— one that combines the use of inverted-list data structures with rejection Monte Carlo and a second that combines inverted lists with the Marsaglia-Norman-Cannon algorithm. The resulting algorithms apply to models with rates that are determine...
