Distributed tracking with sequential Monte Carlo methods for manoeuvrable sensors [PDF]

open access: yes, 2006
Nonlinear distributed tracking for a single target is addressed in this paper. This problem consists of tracking a target of interest while moving the sensors to `best' positions according to an critera appropriate for the problem.

Nitride MXenes Beyond Carbides: Bridging the Gap Between Computational Prediction and Experimental Realization

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Nitride MXenes remain constrained by a persistent gap between computational prediction and experimental realization. This Review identifies the thermodynamic, kinetic, and chemical barriers limiting their synthesis, critically evaluates emerging fabrication routes, and proposes a multidimensional computational‐experimental framework to accelerate the ...

Evaluating Embedded Monte Carlo vs. Total Monte Carlo for Nuclear Data Uncertainty Quantification [PDF]

open access: yesEPJ Web of Conferences
The purpose of this paper is to compare a new method called Embedded Monte Carlo (EMC) to the well-known Total Monte Carlo (TMC) method for nuclear data uncertainty propagation.

Monotonicity properties of the Monte Carlo EM algorithm and connections with simulated likelihood [PDF]

open access: yes, 2007
In this note we show that the Monte Carlo EM algorithm, appropriately constructed with importance re-weighting, monotonically increases a corresponding simulated likelihood.

Intracrystalline Void‐Mediated Toughening of Brittle Crystals in Quail Eggshells

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
In quail eggshells, the high density and disordered arrangement of intracrystalline voids inhibit lattice cleavage, suppress long‐range crack propagation, and promote deformation twinning and quasi‐plasticity, serving as an essential toughening motif. We show that these voids remain within a narrow subcritical size range and therefore predominantly do ...

Misadventures in Monte Carlo

open access: yesJournal of Sports Analytics, 2019
Estimating probability is the very core of forecasting. Increasing computing power has enabled researchers to design highly intractable probability models, such that model results are identified through the Monte Carlo method of repeated stochastic ...

How Monte Carlo heuristics aid to identify the physical processes of drug release kinetics

open access: yesMethodsX, 2018
We implement a Monte Carlo heuristic algorithm to model drug release from a solid dosage form. We show that with Monte Carlo simulations it is possible to identify and explain the causes of the unsatisfactory predictive power of current drug release ...

Smart Monte Carlo: Various tricks using Malliavin calculus [PDF]

open access: yes
Current Monte Carlo pricing engines may face computational challenge for the Greeks, because of not only their time consumption but also their poor convergence when using a finite difference estimate with a brute force perturbation.

GeS as an Emerging OTS Material: Atomic Structure and Modeling of ON/OFF Switching

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
The structural puzzle of glassy GeS, an advanced memory‐selector material, has finally been disentangled, revealing a patchwork of mixed tetrahedral and trigonal species. Under a high electric field, over‐ and under‐coordinated Ge and S defects, together with three‐membered rings, form an interconnected network associated with localized and extended ...

Microfluidic Architecting of Patchy MXene Core‐Shell Particles for Ultralow‐Loading Photothermal Shape‐Memory Actuation

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Spatially distributing Ti3C2Tx nanosheets into core‐shell architecture, rather than as directly dispersed flakes, mitigates aggregation and enhances photon harvesting. When the Ti3C2Tx core‐shell particles are incorporated into a shape‐memory polymer matrix at an ultralow loading of 0.0024 wt%, the improved photothermal conversion translates into ...
