in the past, one of the biggest problems requiring long and complicated computing was lack of appropriate software and hardware facilities in order to compute them in a proper and logical time. due to this issue, sometimes, computing lasted for several days, months or years. therefore, computer science pioneers tried to find a solution for this problem. one of the ways was to present grid compu...

The calculation of the aperture-averaged angle-of-arrival variance, observed with a telescope with a circular aperture, of a plane or spherical wave propagating through homogeneous and isotropic turbulence is one of the classical problems in the theory of wave propagation through random media. We present and discuss approximate closed-form solutions on the basis of the Rytov approximation. For ...

In this paper we introduce Refractor Importance Sampling (RIS), an improvement to reduce error variance in Bayesian network importance sampling propagation under evidential reasoning. We prove the existence of a collection of importance functions that are close to the optimal importance function under evidential reasoning. Based on this theoretic result we derive the RIS algorithm. RIS approach...

This paper concerns the propagation of particles through a quenched random medium. In the oneand two-dimensional models considered, the local dynamics is given by expanding circle maps and hyperbolic toral automorphisms, respectively. The particle motion in both models is chaotic and found to fluctuate about a linear drift. In the proper scaling limit, the cumulative distribution function of th...

We investigate the propagation of random fluctuations through biochemical networks in which the number of molecules of each species is large enough so that the concentrations are well modeled by differential equations. We study the effect of network topology on the emergent properties of the reaction system by characterizing the behavior of variance as fluctuations propagate down chains and stu...

A discrete model for computer simulations of the clustering dynamics of Social Amoebae is presented. This model incorporates the wavelike propagation of extracellular signaling cAMP, the sporadic firing of cells at early stage of aggregation, the signal relaying as a response to stimulus, the inertia and purposeful random walk of the cell movement. A Monte Carlo simulation is run which shows th...
