Abstract

In both biomedical optics and biophotonics, one of the main challengers is the simulation of light spread in biological tissues. The approximation which is most used is Monte Carlos method; it is a standard because of its flexibility and its reliability modeling heterogeneous tissues. [...]

Abstract

In this chapter, we present a general introduction to Monte Carlo (MC)-based methods, sampling methodologies, stratification methods, and variance reduction techniques. In the first part, [...]

Abstract

The present section will focus on the applicability issues of Monte Carlo-based methods, as well as those methods based on sampling techniques. Special focus will be put on the Multi-Level [...]

Abstract

Cochlear implantation (CI) is a complex surgical procedure that restores hearing in patients with severe deafness. The successful outcome of the implanted device relies on a group of factors, some of them unpredictable or difficult to control. Uncertainties on the electrode array [...]

Abstract

Maritime transport covers the immense majority of the world’s international trade, particularly for Spain, where it represents a 74% of the total transported goods. Most of this transport is made via containers, because of its versatility. Its drawback is that very specific infrastructure [...]

Abstract

Effective collaboration between planning controller, tactical controller and pilots in handling various uncertainties and hazards is the result of decades of evolutionary development. The forthcoming paradigm shift to Trajectory Based Operations (TBO) requires a similarly effective [...]

Abstract

In this paper, we seek to minimize the cost of the anchoring system of a floating offshore wind turbine under reliability constraints. Taking into account the uncertainties on the model, on the resistance threshold and on the environmental conditions implies constraints expressed [...]
