Transport and Energy Conversion in the Heliosphere: Lectures Given at the CNRS Summer School on Solar Astrophysics, Oleron, France, 25–29 May 1998

The publication comprises classes taught to a public of Ph. D. scholars, post-docs and proven researchers in all fields of heliospheric plasma physics. It goals at choosing actual matters that are universal to 2 diverse fields of astronomy: sun and magnetospheric physics. Emphasis is given to easy techniques of shipping and conversion of power: magnetic reconnection is mentioned intimately from the viewpoints of MHD and kinetic physics.

At the Margins of the Renaissance: Lazarillo De Tormes and the Picaresque Art of Survival

Released anonymously in 1554, Lazarillo de Tormes dissatisfied the entire strict hierarchies that ruled paintings and society throughout the Renaissance. It lines the adventures no longer of a nobleman or old hero, yet quite of a normal guy who struggles for survival in a merciless, corrupt society after transforming into up below the care of a blind beggar.

Another benefit of this is that it avoids an exact zero which can cause problems in certain sampling algorithms. We will see more on this later. Although the endpoints of the distribution are truncated, it usually has no effect. Moreover, if you are depending upon good uniformity at the endpoints of the random number distribution, then you probably have to resort to special techniques to obtain them. 2 Long sequence random number generators For many practical applications, cycle lengths of one or four billion are just simply inadequate.

23283064e-09 Some computers will generate one exact floating-point zero with this algorithm, others may generate 2! 2328306e-09. This makes the range to be approximately 10−7 ≤ rn < 1 − 10−7 and appears 30 CHAPTER 3. RANDOM NUMBER GENERATION to work on all computers. Another benefit of this is that it avoids an exact zero which can cause problems in certain sampling algorithms. We will see more on this later. Although the endpoints of the distribution are truncated, it usually has no effect. Moreover, if you are depending upon good uniformity at the endpoints of the random number distribution, then you probably have to resort to special techniques to obtain them.

For example, if a cumulative probability distribution function is represented by a set of linear splines, differentiation will lead to a step-wise continuous probability distribution function. 1. 2. 40 CHAPTER 4. SAMPLING THEORY This is exactly the form used to calculate a particle’s distance to an interaction in all Monte Carlo codes. 7 will cause a floating-point error. 2 Rejection method While the invertible cumulative probability distribution function method is always possible, at least in principle, it is often impractical to calculate c()−1 because it may be exceedingly complicated mathematically or contain mathematical structure that is difficult to control.
