A model based on Monte Carlo simulation has been implemented in Matlab to get inside into photon interaction with tissue. The project is aimed to non-invasive pulse oximetry measurement of fetal oxygen saturation in the maternal abdomen. One of the fundamental challenges is to ensure a sufficient penetration depth which covers maternal and fetal tissue. This contribution investigates the photon trajectories and analyse the number of photons which stayed in tissue and their radiation distribution. The principle and photon propagation rules, needed for simulation, are presented in this article. Finally the results are compared with literature.

The method is based on the heat transfer analysis of UNF in a C-30 transport container with a KZ-48 compact storage cask. We compare the results achieved by the currently used SCALE 6 software packages based on nuclear physics calculations and the results from our method.

The paper presents the results of the project. The dynamic scheduling process of operations was simulated on the model of production system. The effect of each priority rule has been studied for different production goals in different stressful situations. The synthesis and the evaluation of results were performed by using mathematical and statistical methods. The multi-objective evaluations scoring method have been chosen by authors.

The probability of a penetration into the protected objects is estimated by combining the probability of the penetration by overcoming the security barriers with a vulnerability model. On the basis of the topographical placement of the protected objects, their security features, and the probability of the penetration, we propose a model of risk mitigation and effective decision making.

The individual entities of simulation model are explained in details, as the Witness simulator is primarily suitable for manufacture or service simulation and not for traffic system simulation. The goal of this paper is to analyse the traffic system and to suggest the changes for improving the traffic in the city of Hlohovec. All proposed measures will bring about 20% improvement of traffic when compared to the current state.

It points out some common deficits of integrating systems and running data transfers. Lack of functionality in some large systems is supplemented by using interim database and proposed SQL processing prior to data loads. Interim database is also used for storing the import result status and log functionality.

Microsoft Dynamics CRM 2011 with Web Application Microsoft SharePoint platform provide a solution for process control of business processes in company that is primarily offered like as the best solution. On the other hand, we found the possibility of open source content management system DotNetNuke, which meets customer's requirements and therefore, there is a possibility to reduce financial costs when selecting this system. Finally, we evaluated considered technologies, prepared more price variations of architecture and compared advantages and disadvantages of these ...

The paper gives an overview of typical concepts of input control. Authors propose different approaches. The basic principles of simulation optimization are explained. A general procedure with each step is defined and this procedure is explained by an example. The solution is focused on the minimization of the production costs, which is included in the objective function. Realization of the simulation optimization is based on the combination of three different algorithms: Adaptive Thermostatistical Simulated Annealing, Random Solution and All Combination algorithm. The proposed procedure definitely leads to exact determination of input interval for given production system and short time period.
