Crossed source-detector geometry for a novel spray diagnostic: Monte Carlo simulation and analytical results [PDF]

, 2005
Sprays and other industrially relevant turbid media can be quantitatively characterized by light scattering. However, current optical diagnostic techniques generate errors in the intermediate scattering regime where the average number of light ...

Information-Geometric Markov Chain Monte Carlo Methods Using Diffusions [PDF]

, 2014
Recent work incorporating geometric ideas in Markov chain Monte Carlo is reviewed in order to highlight these advances and their possible application in a range of domains beyond statistics. A full exposition of Markov chains and their use in Monte Carlo

Sometimes Hot, Sometimes Not: The Relations Between Selected Situational Vocational Interests and Situation Perception

European Journal of Personality, EarlyView., 2020
Abstract Vocational interests are traditionally conceived as stable preferences for different activities. However, recent theorizing suggests their intraindividual variability. This preregistered experience sampling study examined intraindividual variation in selected vocational interests states and related situation and person factors (N = 237 ...

Hybrid Monte Carlo on Hilbert spaces [PDF]

, 2011
The Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC) algorithm provides a framework for sampling from complex, high-dimensional target distributions. In contrast with standard Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) algorithms, it generates nonlocal, nonsymmetric moves in the state ...

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

Advanced 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 ...

Estimation of Underlying Normal Distribution Parameters From Dichotomized Data. [PDF]

Biom J
ABSTRACT Accurately estimating the parameters of a continuous distribution from dichotomized or aggregated data is a common problem in biomedical and environmental research. Many studies report only the proportion of subjects exceeding a threshold, without releasing individual‐level measurements.

Azobenzene's Cross‐Scale Optics and Photonics: Molecular Photoswitching, Mesoscopic Material Motions, and Adaptive Devices

Advanced Materials, EarlyView.
Azobenzene photoswitches translate molecular‐scale E/Z photoisomerization into macroscopic material responses and device‐level photonic functions. This Review highlights how azobenzene research has evolved from molecular photochemistry to photoalignment, mass migration, photomechanics, and heat release, ultimately enabling holography, reconfigurable ...

Transposable Element–Driven PIEZO Mutation Enhances Locust Flight in Plateau Hypoxia

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Why transposable elements (TEs) persisted or expanded in genomes remains a mystery. Using integrated analysis of TE macro‐ and microevolution in locusts, our results showed that thousands of TE insertions promoted widespread adaptive variation. Subfamilies of candidate adaptive TEs amplified and reshaped species‐level genomic architecture.
