With the advent of more powerful, less expensive computing
resources, more and more attention is being given to Monte Carlo
techniques in design application. In many circles, stochastic
solutions are considered the next best thing to experimental data.
Statistical uncertainties in Monte Carlo calculations are typically
determined by the first...
The International Commission on Radiological Protection (ICRP) has modeled twelve reference animals and plants (RAPs) with simple geometric shapes to be used when estimating radiation dose to non-human biota (NHB). In recent years, there has been interest in creating more realistic models in order to better understand the radiation interactions...
