One can mainly distinguish between two approaches for light transfer modeling: one-dimensional model equations and the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE).
“One can mainly distinguish between two approaches: firstly, one-dimensional model equations which enable quick and simple estimates of the light intensity with respect to the distance from the light source [23,24,31,36,39,41,43,125] and secondly, the Radiative Transfer Equation (RTE) [18,26-28,34], whose solution requires the application of numerical methods.”

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.
