Abstract Molten CsBr was computer simulated tat 1 atm and four different temperatures using the Monte Carlo method. Structural and thermodynamic properties of the melt were obtained on the basis of pair potentials. In particular, radial distribution functions, volume, and energy with its coulomb, dipole-dipole, and repulsive components were determined. Separately, the polarization energy was also evaluated: this quantity increases with increasing temperature and ranges between 2 and 4% of the total energy.

Using crystal data in the range 20-300 °C, the AgBr interionic pair potentials were calculated. By means of these potentials the melt was computer simulated with the Monte Carlo method at three different temperatures (694, 1000 and 1778 K). The system thus obtained is relaxed and it behaves as if an important cohesive force, like the homopolar one, would be lacking.It was empirically proved that if the interionic repulsive potentials are reduced by about 40% the experimental values of the density and of the internal energy are reproduced.

The comparison of different methods of keratoprosthesis (KP) regarding their long-term success, as far as visual acuity is concerned, is difficult: this is the case both as a standardized reporting method agreed upon by all research groups has not been reported and far less accepted, and as the quality of life for the patient not only depends on the level of visual acuity, but also quite significantly on the “survival time” of the implant. Therefore, an analysis of a single series of patients with Osteo–Odonto–Keratoprosthesis (OOKP) was performed. Statistical analysis methods used by others in similar groups of surgical procedures have included descriptive statistics, survival analysis and ANOVA. These methods comprised comparisons of empirical densities or distribution functions and empirical survival curves. It is the objective of this paper to provide an inductive statistical method to avoid the problems with descriptive techniques and survival analysis. This statistical model meets four important standards: (1) the efficiency of a surgical technique can be assessed within an arbitrary time interval by a new index (VAT-index), (2) possible autocorrelations of the data are taken into consideration and (3) the efficiency is not only stated by a point estimator, but also 95% point-wise confidence limits are computed based on the Monte Carlo method, and finally, (4) the efficiency of a specific method is illustrated by line and range plots for quick illustration and can also be used for the comparison of different other surgical techniques such as refractive techniques, glaucoma and retinal surgery.

Based on the Wang-Landau algorithm, the Monte Carlo method is used to study the thermodynamic properties of the two-dimensional Potts model with the number of spin states $q=4$ on a triangular lattice, taking into account the interactions of the first and second nearest neighbors. It is shown that taking into account antiferromagnetic interactions of the second nearest neighbors leads to frustration.
