It was nine o'clock at night, and the thirty huge dynamos of the Soci t G n rale Electrique of Paris were nearly all at work. In the great glass-roofed hall of the Mont Parnasse Central Power Station blue-bloused workmen moved quietly over the shining floors of white concrete, pausing now and then by this or that purring, spitting monster, scrutinising the whirring, glittering copper drums, listening with experienced ears for the slightest variation in the deep wasp-like hum, touching a lever here, adjusting a screw there, or oiling a bearing with tin cans beaked like a snipe.

Book DescriptionsWhat motivated me to write this book? The knowledge pertaining to solid angle and its computation is scattered in bits and parts in the scientific literature. It is my feeling that no such book exists that explains the concepts of solid angles explicitly and enunciates the ab initio computation methods. This motivated me to write a book about the solid angle.This book pictorially explains the concepts of solid angles and gives the salient features of solid angles along with the necessary mathematical development for computation. Why Monte Carlo methods?I have specifically chosen Monte Carlo methods to compute solid angles because the students are fascinated to learn Monte Carlo methods. Monte Carlo methods have been explained in a simple way starting with ab initio principles without involving too many mathematical jargons. This book not only provides an opportunity to readers to learn Monte Carlo methods but also. helps the readers to apply Monte Carlo methods in the field of their interest in addition to compute solid angles.What is RAHI method?Monte Carlo methods can be applied to determine solid angles not only by solving the intricate solutions of multidimensional integrals but also by shining light on the given surface and determining the solid angles. This has been termed as Ray Hitting (RAHI) method. RAHI method is simple to understand and simple to apply.MATLAB ProgramIn implementing Monte Carlo methods in solid angles computations, some rudimentary knowledge of programming like MATLAB is, however, required. The MATLAB programs have been given in its simplest forms to conduct simulation experiments with solid angle computations and apply in the various field of interest.Chapter wise book appraisal.This book contains step-by-step solved examples and easy to implement MATLAB programs. Chapter 1 "Solid Angle" gives a pictorial illustration of solid angles. It gives the salient features of solid angle, basics requirements for the formation of solid angles in 3D-space. Moreover, definitions and mathematical developments of solid angles are summarized.Chapter 2 "Monte Carlo Methods" gives an understanding of Monte Carlo methods from scratches. Explains the Golden Rule of Monte Carlo and Hit-or-Miss methods. It makes easy to understand and implement the methods. Examples are given for understanding the methods.Chapter 3 'Random Numbers" provide the users to review that how grandpa clock can fulfill your needs to generate random numbers.Chapter 4. "Integration with Monte Carlo" helps to solve step-by-step the single/double/triple and higher order integrals by Monte Carlo Methods. After explaining the method with simple examples, the MATLAB programs are appended.Chapter 5. "Solid Angle Computation" gives step by step examples of computing solid angles subtending with: (a) a point and Plane surface, (b) Disk, and (c) Cylinder. Several solved examples are given using MATLAB programs. Listing of simple MATLAB programs are provided. Applications of RAHI method are given for all cases.Finally, computation of solid angles between a Line and a Disk has been given with explanation. RAHI and triple integration methods have been employed.ConclusionsAfter learning basic rules and practicing examples from all five chapters, one may be able to compute solid angle with any situation including a solid angle with an irregular shaped surface.

Monte Carlo methods, in particular those based on Markov chains and on interacting particle systems, are by now tools that are routinely used in machine learning. These methods have had a profound impact on statistical inference in a wide range of application areas where probabilistic models are used. Moreover, there are many algorithms in machine learning that are based on the idea of processing the data sequentially; first in the forward direction, and then in the backward direction.Backward Simulation Methods for Monte Carlo Statistical Inference reviews a branch of Monte Carlo methods that are based on the forward-backward idea, and that are referred to as backward simulators. In recent years, the theory and practice of backward simulation algorithms have undergone a significant development, and the algorithms keep finding new applications. The foundation for these methods is sequential Monte Carlo (SMC). SMC-based backward simulators are capable of addressing smoothing problems in sequential latent variable models, such as general, nonlinear/non-Gaussian state-space models (SSMs).However, this book also clearly shows that the underlying backward simulation idea is by no means restricted to SSMs. Furthermore, backward simulation plays an important role in recent developments of Markov chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) methods. Particle MCMC is a systematic way of using SMC within MCMC. In this framework, backward simulation gives us a way to significantly improve the performance of the samplers.This monograph discusses several related backward-simulation-based methods for state inference as well as learning of static parameters, both using a frequentistic and a Bayesian approach. This is an excellent primer for anyone interested in this active research area.

Applied Analytics - Quantitative Research Methods: Applying Monte Carlo Risk Simulation, Strategic Real Options, Stochastic Forecasting, Portfolio Opt
THIRD EDITION (2022) The Applied CQRM Book Series showcases how the advanced analytics covered in the Certified in Quantitative Risk Management (CQRM) certification program can be applied to real-life business problems. In Volume I, we show how Risk Simulator and ROV BizStats can be used to perform quantitative analysis in graduate and postgraduate research. Pragmatic applications are emphasized in order to demystify the many elements inherent in quantitative analysis. A statistical black box will remain a black box if no one can understand the concepts despite its power and applicability. It is only when the black box methods become transparent, so that researchers can understand, apply, and convince others of their results, value-add, and applicability, that the approaches will receive widespread attention. This transparency is achieved through step-by-step applications of quantitative modeling as well as presenting multiple cases and discussing real-life applications. This book is targeted at those individuals who have completed the CQRM certification program but can also be used by anyone familiar with basic quantitative research methods--there is some-thing for everyone. It is also applicable for use as a second-year MBA/MS-level or introductory PhD textbook. The examples in the book assume some prior knowledge of the subject matter.

Architecture in Conversion and the Work of Carlo Scarpa

Architecture in Conversion and the Work of Carlo Scarpa

The work of Modernist architect Carlo Scarpa (1906-1978) is exemplary of an in-between practice, which is neither architecture nor conservation, but rather, architecture in conversion, dependent upon time, weather, and tempo. This book discusses the notion of architecture in conversion, revealing it to be radically different from current conservation practices, and to entail more than a change of use. Scarpa’s work represents ‘a radical turn in how we see or understand something’. The significance of time, weather and tempo within Scarpa’s work, as well as the influences of artists such as Man Ray and Emilio Vedova and composer Luigi Nono, are revealed through a close analysis of Scarpa’s drawings and details from key buildings and their histories of multiple authorship. The book examines drawing as central to Scarpa’s practice: in lieu of creating physical models, his muti-directional drawings foreshadow the orbital movements of digital modeling techniques. Based on discussions with many of his collaborators, the book highlights Scarpa’s collaborative approach, as well as the importance of all senses in his architecture. The book concludes by introducing the notion of ‘unfinished architecture’, and by discussing various contemporary architects’ projects which follow Scarpa’s approach to conversion of buildings.
