Combining p-values and effect sizes in the meta-analysis of single-case experiments: Monte Carlo simulations, R package, and applications on treating challenging behaviour among persons with intellectual disabilities. KU Leuven
Combined Molecular Dynamics (MD) and Monte Carlo (MC) simulations for the plasma-enhanced deposition of (ultra)nanocrystalline diamond ((U)NCD) films. University of Antwerp
Multinucleon knockout in neutrino-nucleus scattering : Merging theory and Monte Carlo simulations Ghent University
The analysis of neutrino-oscillation experiments suffers from the tension between the need for efficient Monte-Carlo simulations and for a detailed microscopic description of the nuclear processes governing the neutrino-nucleus interactions. The goal of this project is to combine the expertise of the Ghent and Wrocław groups. We will merge the description of 2-nucleon knockout-processes developed in Ghent with the Wrocław event-simulator. We ...
Patientspecific approach of CBCT imaging: custom-made Monte Carlo simulations. KU Leuven
Objectives
1. To customize an existing Monte Carlo framework towards patient-specific applications.
2. To validate the Monte Carlo framework and the patient-specific voxel phantoms.
3. To calculate organ and effective doses for various age groups.
4. To estimate the actual radiation-induced risk from these doses using recent dose-risk modeling approaches
Monte Carlo simulations of molecular crystals University of Antwerp
Sensitivity-based uncertainty quantification for coupled finite-volume – Monte Carlo plasma edge simulations of nuclear fusion devices. KU Leuven
Depth profiling of radiologically contaminated concrete, using CT-scan images and Monte Carlo simulations Hasselt University
Monte Carlo simulations of new clinical applications of high resolution Total Body time-of-flight PET Ghent University
The proposed research project consists of the simulation of cost-efficient long axial FOV PET system based on
monolithic detectors. Monolithic scintillators have proven superior spatial resolution with depth of interaction
compared to the clinical PET/TBPET systems with pixelated detectors. The design will then be constructed and
tested for clinical applications. This project includes performance measurements on the built ...
Micro-macro acceleration and multilevel Monte Carlo methods for kinetic equations KU Leuven
Since the 1960's people have made regular claims to the effect of: "A working nuclear fusion reactor is 20 years away!" This persistent underestimaton of the challenges in the way of building a working fusion reactor can be explained by the following dichotomy between theory and practice: On the one hand, the physical reaction is, in principle, quite simple, i.e., heat hydrogen gas to the point where it ionizes and the ions collide with ...
