Method of Monte Carlo grid for data analysis

This paper presents an analysis procedure for experimental data using theoretical functions generated by Monte Carlo. Applying the classical chi-square fitting procedure for some multiparameter systems is extremely difficult due to a lack of an analytical expression for the theoretical functions describing the system. The proposed algorithm is based on the least square method using a grid of Monte Carlo generated functions each corresponding to definite values of the minimization parameters. It is used for the E742 experiment (TRIUMF, Vancouver, Canada) data analysis with the aim to extract muonic atom scattering parameters on solid hydrogen.Comment: 16 pages, 10 figures, submitted to NI

Formation of the vertebral arches of the cervical, thoracic and lumbar vertebrae in early human foetuses

Fusion of the neural arches was studied in 6 serially sectioned human foetuses aged 9 and 10 weeks. In foetuses of 9 weeks, the completion of arches was observed in the cervical, upper thoracic, and middle thoracic regions of the vertebral column. During the 10th week of development, fusion of neural processes progresses in the lower thoracic and upper three lumbar vertebrae. (Folia Morphol 2010; 69, 3: 177-179

Innervation of the human cervical and thoracic vertebrae at eight postovulatory weeks

The nerves to the cervical and thoracic vertebrae were traced in 10 serially sectioned human embryos. It was found that the vertebral bodies receive nerve fibres from the trunks of the spinal nerves, anterior branches and meningeal branches of the spinal nerves, and from the sympathetic trunks. Slender twigs from the trunk of the spinal nerve arise close to the spinal ganglion and terminate in the posterior and lateral surfaces of the vertebrae. Fibres from the anterior branches of the spinal nerves terminate in the lateral and anterior surfaces of the vertebrae. Thin rami from the sympathetic trunk reach the anterior surface of the vertebrae

Inertia compensation while scanning screw threads on coordinate-measuring machines

Usage of scanning coordinate-measuring machines for inspection of screw threads has become a common practice nowadays. Compared to touch trigger probing, scanning capabilities allow to speed up measuring process while still maintaining high accuracy. However, in some cases accuracy drasticaly depends on the scanning speed. In this paper a compensation method is proposed allowing to reduce the influence of some dynamic effects while scanning screw threads on coordinate-measuring machines

The length of the humerus in human embryos at developmental stages 18-23

The length of the humerus was measured in 69 staged human embryos at developmental stages 18-23 (7 and 8 weeks). It was found that the length of the humerus increases from 2.0 mm at stage 18 to 5.4 mm at stage 23. There were slight variations at certain of the stages investigated. Asymmetry between limb lengths was not found during the embryonic period under examination

Comparison of the Structure of Equation Systems and the GPU Multifrontal Solver for Finite Difference, Collocation and Finite Element Method

AbstractThe article is an in-depth comparison of numerical solvers and corresponding solution pro- cesses of the systems of algebraic equations resulting from finite difference, collocation, and finite element approximations. The paper considers recently developed isogeometric versions of the collocation and finite element methods, employing B-splines for the computations and ensuring Cp−1 continuity on the borders of elements for the B-splines of the order p. For solving the systems, we use our GPU implementation of the state-of-the-art parallel multifrontal solver, which leverages modern GPU architectures and allows to reduce the complexity. We analyze the structures of linear equation systems resulting from each of the methods and how different matrix structures lead to different multifrontal solver elimination trees. The paper also considers the flows of multifrontal solver depending on the originally employed method

The development of the epidural space in human embryos

The epidural space is seen in embryos at stage 17 (41 days) on the periphery of the primary meninx. During stage 18 (44 days) the dura mater proper appears and the epidural space is located between this meninx and the perichondrium and contains blood vessels. During the last week of the embryonic period (stages 20–23) the epidural space is evident around the circumference of the spinal cord. On the posterior surface it is found between the dura mater and the mesoderm of the dorsal body wall

Monte Carlo Fitting Of Data From Muon Catalyzed Fusion Experiments In Solid Hydrogen

Applying the classical chi-square fitting procedure for multiparameter systems is in somecases extremely difficult due to the lack of an analytical expression for the theoretical functionsdescribing the system. This paper presents an analysis procedure for experimental datausing theoretical functions generated by Monte Carlo method, each corresponding to definitevalues of the minimization parameters. It was applied for the E742 experiment (TRIUMF,Vancouver, Canada) data analysis with the aim to analyze data from Muon Catalyzed Fusionexperiments (extraction muonic atom scattering parameters and parameters of pd fusion inpdμ molecule)

Early trabeculation and closure of the interventricular foramen in staged human embryos

Internal differentiation of the ventricles was studied in staged serially sectioned human embryos of developmental stages 13-19 (postovulatory days 32-46). At stage 13 the trabeculation of both ventricles was advanced and the muscular part of the interventricular septum well marked. Dorsal and ventral endocardial cushions were fused and the atrioventricular canal was divided into two parts. In embryos at stage 18 the membranous interventricular septum was developing and the interventricular foramen was obliterated. At stage 19 the membranous part of the interventricular septum was becoming more cellular in structure. (Folia Morphol 2008; 67: 13–18
