Enforcing conservation at Monte Carlo level in a coupled Finite Volume - Monte Carlo simulation KU Leuven
Plasma edge simulations generally require coupling a finite volume (FV) fluid plasma discretization with a kinetic neutral Monte Carlo (MC) model. From the MC neutral simulation, source terms are estimated and inserted into the FV plasma simulation, transferring MC stochasticity to the FV simulation. While the FV simulation is based on the physical principle of conservation, most common MC source term estimators do not strictly conserve mass, ...
Driving behavior at intersections equipped with red light cameras – A Monte Carlo Simulation based on driving simulator data Universiteit Hasselt
Background: Various impact evaluation studies of red light cameras (RLCs) showed an increase of rear-end collisions (up to 44%). Objective: To evaluate the driving and looking behavior of drivers at intersections equipped with RLCs in an urban area. Method: 63 participants passed an intersection without RLC, with RLC, and with RLC + warning sign (RLCWS) in a driving simulator. These data were used to estimate the risk of rear-end collisions by ...
Use of Monte Carlo simulation to determine pharmacodynamic cutoffs of amoxicillin to establish a breakpoint for antimicrobial susceptibility testing in pigs Universiteit Gent
Objective: To determine pharmacodynamic cutoffs with pharmacokinetic-pharmacodynamic principles and Monte Carlo simulation (MCS) for use of amoxicillin in pigs to set interpretive criteria for antimicrobial susceptibility testing. Sample: 191 plasma disposition curves of amoxicillin obtained from 21 IV, 104 IM, and 66 PO administrations corresponding to 2,098 plasma concentrations. Procedures: A population model of amoxicillin disposition in ...

A general Monte Carlo simulation of energy dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometers, part 5 : polarized radiation, stratified samples, cascade effects, M-lines Universiteit Gent
Comparison of Geant4-DNA simulation of S-values with other Monte Carlo codes Universiteit Hasselt
Monte Carlo simulations of S-values have been carried out with the Geant4-DNA extension of the Geant4 toolkit. The S-values have been simulated for monoenergetic electrons with energies ranging from 0.1 keV up to 20 keV, in liquid water spheres (for four radii, chosen between 10 nm and 1 μm), and for electrons emitted by five isotopes of iodine (131, 132, 133, 134 and 135), in liquid water spheres of varying radius (from 15 μm up to 250 μm). The ...
The use of tetrahedral mesh geometries in Monte Carlo simulation of applicator based brachytherapy dose distributions Universiteit Hasselt
Accounting for brachytherapy applicator attenuation is part of the recommendations from the recent report of AAPM Task Group 186. To do so, model based dose calculation algorithms require accurate modelling of the applicator geometry. This can be non-trivial in the case of irregularly shaped applicators such as the Fletcher Williamson gynaecological applicator or balloon applicators with possibly irregular shapes employed in accelerated partial ...
Range-based Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis: A combined method of Multi-Actor Multi-Criteria Analysis and Monte Carlo simulation to support participatory decision making under uncertainty Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Concerns about environmental and social effects have made Multi-Criteria Decision Making (MCDM) increasingly popular. Decision making in complex contexts often – possibly always – requires addressing an aggregation of multiple issues to meet social, economic, legal, technical, and environmental objectives. These values at stake may affect different stakeholders through distributional effects characterized by a high and heterogeneous uncertainty ...
