A spatially hybrid fluid-kinetic neutral model for SOLPS-ITER plasma edge simulations
Nuclear Materials and Energy, 2019 Plasma edge transport simulations typically rely on Monte-Carlo simulations for the kinetic neutral transport. However, for detached operating conditions the dominance of charge-exchange reactions between plasma and neutrals leads to excessive ...

Joint assessment of density correlations and fluctuations for analysing spatial tree patterns [PDF]
Royal Society Open Science, 2021 Inferring the processes underlying the emergence of observed patterns is a key challenge in theoretical ecology. Much effort has been made in the past decades to collect extensive and detailed information about the spatial distribution of tropical ...

A neutral DEA model for cross-efficiency evaluation [PDF]
International Journal of Research in Industrial Engineering, 2022 The Cross-efficiency method in data envelopment analysis (DEA) has widely been used as a suitable utility for ranking decision-making units (DMUs). In this paper, for overcoming the issue of the existence of multiple optimal solutions in cross-efficiency

Perlin noise as a hierarchical neutral landscape model [PDF]
Web Ecology, 2022 Neutral landscape models based on fractal algorithms are used widely by landscape ecologists. Perlin noise is a spectral synthesis algorithm that has not been widely adopted by landscape ecologists, even though the hierarchical properties of Perlin noise
