Summary
In this compilation, the authors first consider applying
the Monte Carlo method to the general form of the heat
equation that is used for analyzing conduction heat
transfer. The Monte Carlo method is then extended to some convection
heat transfer applications by representing the probabilistic
interpretation of the energy equation to obtain the
temperature profile. Following this, Monte Carlo Methods: History and
Applications discusses the Monte Carlo methods needed for the
estimation of the mean glandular dose in both digital
mammography and digital breast tomosynthesis. Various breast
anatomies are considered. The gradual development of the Monte Carlo method for
solving problems of mathematical chemistry is considered. A
comparison of various quantitative structure --
property/activity relationships based on the Monte Carlo
method is also presented. Lastly, the Monte Carlo technique is used to characterize
the statistical distributions of received measurements in an
electric energy power system, as well as to quantify the
correlations among these variables. To check the numerical
accuracy of the results, the point estimate algorithm is
employed.
