  • The Monte Carlo method does not suffer from the need for angular discretization, but computations can be very time-consuming for microalgae cultures because strong absorbance requires many photons to be traced before smooth results are achieved.

    “An alternative method for radiative transfer calculations is the Monte Carlo method [207,208], which does not suffer from the need of angular discretization, but has the drawback that computations can be very time-consuming for microalgae cultures since the strong absorbance requires many photons to be traced before smooth results are achieved.”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
