Comparison of PRNGs to QRNGs using Monte Carlo Pi estimation
(2024-09-17) Lebedev, Anton; Möslein, Annika; Ivanyshyn Yaman, Olha; Rajan, Del; Intallura, Philip
This collection contains the source code and processed data used to investigate effects of the random number source on the outcomes of simple Monte Carlo simulations. Investigation was carried out using Quantum Dice's quantum random number generator (QRNG) and various sequential and parallel pseudo-random number generators (PRNG). PRNGs include: "minimum standard" linear congruential generator (minstd_rand0), Mersenne Twister generator (mt19937), multiplicative recursive generator (Tina's random number generator library mrg5s), "yet another random number generator" (Tina's random number generator library yarn5s) in parallel and sequential executions.
The C++ code is used to generate pi estimates through sampling of [0,1]x[0,1] or using Buffon's needle experiment utilising various RNGs. Additional code is used to generate and store point distributions on [0,1]x[0,1] to asess their homogeneity and uniformity as means to explain observations made when analysing distributions of the pi data.
Raw data was collected using Snakemake workflows provided in the dataset. Accumulation of raw data into provided CSV files was done using an accompanying jupyter notebook.
Distributions of the estimated pi-values were analysed using a simple sign-test, t-test, distribution fitting and likelihood-based hypothesis testing incorporated in the SciPaperVisualisation notebook. Additionally correlations within the pi-datasets and effects of rounding errors were analysed and the results are included in the same notebook.
Further the homogeneity of the point-distribution on the unit square obtianed with QRNGs and PRNGs was analysed to explain the differences observed in the pi-data.

SORS spectra of preservation fluids through different glass-type containers
(2025-02) Mosca, Sara; Matousek, Pavel
Spatially Offset Raman Spectra of 10 different types of preservation fluids. The Raman spectra were collected using a handheld commercial SORS instrument (Resolve, Agilent Technologies, Oxfordshire, UK) through a historic jar (labelled 'JAR') and modern glass (labelled 'vial'). The labels of the mockup solution are the following (can be found in each file):
A) Glycerol 5% in water
B) Glycerol 35% in water
C) Glycerol 65% in water
D) Industrial methylated spirits (IMS) EtOH 95% MetOH 3% in water
E) EtOH 70% in water
F) EtOH 70%, MetOH 5% in water
G) EtOH 70%, MetOH 10% in water
H) Formaldehyde 4% in water
I) Formaldehyde 1% in water
J) Formaldehyde 1%, EtOH 70% in water
Four different datasets are provided consisting of the following:
1. SORS spectra pre-processed by external automatic routine (as described in the paper) (SORS-EXTERNAL PP-ALLTogheterdiffdaydifferentGLASS.csv)
2. SORS spectra internally pre-analysed with RESOLVE instrument (Agilent) (SORS-RESOVED PP-ALLTogheterdiffdaydifferentGLASS.csv)
3. Raw Zero spectra only (ZERO-ONLY-ALLTogheterdiffdaydifferentGLASS.cvs)
4. Raw Offset spectra only (OFFSET-ONLY-ALLTogheterdiffdaydifferentGLASS.csv)
Experimental and Computational Investigation of the Emission and Dispersion of Fine Particulate Matter (PM2.5) During Domestic Cooking - Dataset
(2024) Jones, Harriet; Kumar, Ashish; O'Leary, Catherine; Dillon, Terry James; Rolfo, Stefano
This dataset contains the computational and experimental data for the STFC Air Quality Network project "Experimental Validation of Lagrangian Stochastic Methods Targeting Indoor Air Quality". In this project, 12 minute stir frying experiments were conducted in the DOMESTIC kitchen laboratory, and the spatial particulate matter (PM) concentrations during these experiments was measured using a range of low-cost sensors. The data from these experiments was then used as validation data for computational fluid dynamics simulations of stir frying in DOMESTIC, which were performed using the finite volume solver code saturne (version 8.0.3). Cases were run on the Scientific Computing Application Resource for Facilities (SCARF).
The experimental data includes the PM, humidity and temperature readings from the sensors, in the form of csv files, as well as the data from two anemometers (also as csv files), the experimental times and dates, and the cooking protocols, and a schematic of the kitchen laboratory along with a list of sensor locations. The computational data contains the setup and outputs for all cases. Full details can be found in the README files enclosed.
