The wide scale deployment of variable renewable energy technologies (VREs) offers a pathway to decarbonize the electric grid. One challenge to reliably operating the grid is ensuring that sufficient generating capacity is available to meet demand at all hours. By determining an individual...

Stochastic volatility models are very flexible models able to characterize financial volatility evolution. This article explores computational capabilities based on Graphical Processing Units to simulate many Monte Carlo Markov chains in estimating stochastic volatility model parameters through...

Understanding the health risks of toxic elements (TEs) in urban park soils and determining their priority control factors are crucial to public health and pollution management. In this work, soil samples from 33 urban parks in Guiyang, a typical karstic city, were collected. Results showed that...

On-site calibration technology is an important technical means for calibration of fixed gamma dose instruments in large nuclear facilities. The two key factors that affect the calibration effect are: the calibration source and the agreed true value. This paper studies the characteristics of the...

This paper proposes a novel method based on Monte Carlo Ray Tracing for high-precision and low time computation processing of view factors in random assemblies of cylindrical packed beds. The Monte Carlo Ray Tracing method is improved by coupling it with Kowsary’s tangent sphere method under...
