Advanced Variance Reduction Methods for Monte Carlo Particle Transport: A Comprehensive Review
The Monte Carlo (MC) method is the reference approach for particle transport simulation in complex three-dimensional geometries and continuous-energy problems, where it avoids the phase-space discretization required by deterministic methods; yet its 1/N convergence rate renders b...

Residential greenery as an overlooked preventive health and sustainability infrastructure
Abstract Urban health and sustainability research increasingly demonstrates the benefits of greenness around people’s homes, yet shared green spaces embedded in residential developments remain comparatively overlooked as distinct lived, designed, and managed environments. In this...
