Comparison of two efficient methods for calculating partition functions
In the long-time pursuit of the solution to calculate the partition function
(or free energy) of condensed matter, Monte-Carlo-based nested sampling should
be the state-of-the-art method, and very recently, we established a direct
integral approach that works at least four orders faster. In present work, the
above two methods were applied to solid argon at temperatures up to K, and
the derived internal energy and pressure were compared with the molecular
dynamics simulation as well as experimental measurements, showing that the
calculation precision of our approach is about 10 times higher than that of the
nested sampling method.Comment: 6 pages, 4 figure

COMPARATIVE BIOMECHANICS ANALYSIS OF HURDLE CLEARANCE TECHNIQUES
The purpose of this study was to investigate Yin Jing’s hurdle clearance techniques. Through a follow-up study on his training, some experiments were performed using 3D kinematics. The best one of each year’s performances from 2007 to 2009 was chosen for comparative analysis in this paper. It was found that his techniques improved significantly and became more stable, but the supporting time needs to be reduced
