Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractSpeedup of Particle Transport Problems with a Beowulf ClusterZhongxiang Zhao, G. Ivan MaldonadoThe MCNP code is a general Monte Carlo N-Particle Transport program that is widely used in health physics, medical physics and nuclear engineering for problems involving neutron, photon and electron transport[1]. However, due to the stochastic nature of the algorithms employed to solve the Boltzmann transport equation, MCNP generally exhibits a slow rate of convergence. In fact, engineers and scientists … …American Journal of Applied Sciences, Vol. 3, Issue 8 · 31 Dec 2006 · 6,918 accessesView PDFCite
Research ArticleOpen accessIn the abstractAnalysis of Tropospheric Scintillation Intensity on Earth to Space in MalaysiaMandeep Singh Jit Singh, Syed Idris Syed Hassan, Mohd Fadzil Ain et al.This paper presents the results of a study on tropospheric scintillation on satellite link that has been performed at University Sains Malaysia (USM) to obtain statistics of scintillation from the 12.255 GHz Superbird C satellite with an elevation angle of 40.10.
