(2012-10-19)Tradeoff studies are a common part of engineering practice. Designers conduct tradeoff studies in order to improve their understanding of how various design considerations relate to one another. Generally a tradeoff study ...
-
Monte Carlo path tracing is a popular 3D rendering technique in computer graphics, but it often requires a costly tradeoff between the amount of noise in the image and computation time. Therefore, it is useful to attempt ...
-
(2013-08-13)The present state of modeling radio-induced effects at the cellular level neglects to account for the microscopic inhomogeneity of the nucleus from the non-aqueous contents by approximating the entire cellular nucleus as ...
-
(2009-05-15)Characterizing high z high energy (HZE) particles in cosmic radiation is of importance for the study of the equivalent dose to astronauts. Low pressure, tissue equivalent proportional counters (TEPC) are routinely used to ...
-
(2022-07-10)This dissertation contains four projects involving applications of truncated multivariate normal sampling and multivariate normal probability estimation for linearly constrained domains. These two problems have a large ...
-
(2023-01-10)Safe and sustainable operations in Geocentric Orbit require the acquisition, tracking, and predictive use of a large amount of data pertaining to the existence, characterization, and orbital state of objects in Earth orbit. ...
-
(2009-05-15)Portfolios of contemporary integrated petroleum companies consist of a few dozen Exploration and Production (E&P) projects that are usually spread all over the world. Therefore, it is important not only to manage individual ...
-
(2011-10-21)The ever increasing energy demand brings about widespread interest to rapidly, profitably and efficiently develop unconventional resources, among which tight gas sands hold a significant portion. However, optimization of ...
-
(2018-10-24)The N-oxidation of alkylpyridines is used in the pharmaceutical industries to synthesize alkylpyridine N-oxides that are involved in the production of analgesic and anti-inflammatory drugs. The synthesis process involves ...
-
(2016-02-04)The Implicit Monte Carlo (IMC) method has been a standard method for thermal radiative transfer for the past 40 years. In this time, the hydrodynamics methods that are coupled to IMC have evolved and improved, as have the ...
-
(2014-12-18)The Monte Carlo method for solving reactor physics problems is one of the most robust numerical techniques for analyzing a wide variety of systems in the realm of reactor engineering. Monte Carlo simulations sample on ...
-
(2009-05-15)The objective of this research was to develop a complex MCNPX model of the human head to predict absorbed dose distributions during proton therapy of ocular tumors. Absorbed dose distributions using the complex geometry ...
-
(2010-01-14)Renewal process has been often employed as a mathematical model of the failure and repair cycle of components in power system reliability assessment. This implies that after repair, the component is assumed to be restored ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2004-09-30)A new model for an adult human gastrointestinal tract (GIT) has been developed for use in internal dose estimations to the wall of the GIT and to the other organs and tissues of the body from radionuclides deposited in the ...
-
(2011-08-08)The multi-scale modeling of ion-solid interactions presented can lead to a fundamentally new approach for understanding temperature evolution and damage formation. A coupling of the Monte Carlo code, SRIM, to a C FEM ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2007-04-25)Advancements in parallel and cluster computing have made many complex Monte Carlo simulations possible in the past several years. Unfortunately, cluster computers are large, expensive, and still not fast enough to make the ...
-
(Texas A&M University, 2006-04-12)The purpose of the work is to employ molecular simulation to further extend the understanding of Self-Assembled Monolayers (SAMs), especially as it relates to three particular applications: organic-inorganic composite ...
