✦ Synopsis
Based on a recent analytical solution of vector transport equations in plane geometry including polarization e †ects, a vector scheme for a Monte Carlo code was worked out. The new code, called MC-SHAPE, was developed both to emphasize the miscalculation in using the scalar approach with average polarization kernels and to extend results obtained with the analytical solution of the transport equation to higher orders of interaction. The code includes the Doppler broadening giving the momentum distribution due to electron pre-collision motion. To improve the comparison with analytical results, the code takes some feature from this model, which considers the scattering of a monochromatic and monodirectional collimated beam of x-rays on a semi-inÐnite and homogeneous target. Results of the evolution of the four components of the Stokes vector describing the back-scattered beam, are presented which allow the analysis of the complete polarization characteristics of the multiple scattering of Rayleigh and Compton e †ects. The good agreement found with both deterministic calculations and experimental data indicates the validity of the new code.

In this article we explore the use of a Monte Carlo technique for the solution of the stream function in a two-dimensional inviscid fluid flow problem. We found that the technique is relatively easy to use and can achieve acceptable accuracy if enough random samples are taken. Classroom applications

We present the results of threedimensional lattice Monte Carlo simulations of protein diffusion on the liquid-solid interface in a wide temperature range including the most interesting temperatures (from slightly below T f and up to T c , where T f and T c are the folding and collapse temperatures).
Denaturation of model proteinlike molecules at the liquid-solid interface is simulated over a wide temperature range by employing the lattice Monte Carlo technique. Initially, the molecule containing 27 monomers of two types (A and B) is assumed to be adsorbed in the native folded state (a 3 ؋ 3 ؋ 3
