Introduction The name Monte Carlo was applied to a class of mathematical methods first by scientists working on the development of nuclear weapons in Los Alamos in the 1940s. The essence of the method...
The need to search for complex and recurring patterns in database sequences is shared by many applications. In this paper, we discuss how to express and support e#ciently sophisticated sequential patt...
The scope of this study was to estimate total scatter factors (S(c,p)) of the three smallest collimators of the Cyberknife radiosurgery system (5-10 mm in diameter), combining experimental measurement...

. After a short introduction, the observing capabilities in the near--infrared bands of the camera/spectrograph NICS designed for the TNG are discussed, along with the expected performance in term of ...
One of the challenges of developing a visual language for human-to-human communication is coming up with a large enough visual vocabulary that users are not overly limited in the meanings they can exp...
. A new wave of data-intensive and knowledge-based applications---such as data mining and decision support---require the introduction of complex application-specific aggregate functions. In this paper...
