The evolution of Large Language Model (LLM) agents towards System~2 reasoning, characterized by deliberative, high-precision problem-solving, requires maintaining rigorous logical integrity over extended horizons. However, prevalent memory…
After a short comparison of cosmic ray observation from ground versus space, EUSO detector and its capabilities are described. The political situation is sketched.
Forty years have passed since the first Explorer orbiting observatory - the 1958 mission used to discover the Van Allen radiation belts outside the atmosphere - ushered in the modern age of space science. Even though in situ observations of…
A Chair of Software Engineering existed at ETH Zurich, the Swiss Federal Insti-tute of Technology, from 1 October 2001 to 31 January 2016, under my leader-ship. Our work, summarized here, covered a wide range of theoretical and practi-cal…
Sliding friction is usually introduced in high school, but rarely through activities in laboratory. A qualitative introduction to friction is presented by proposing exploration of different kind of materials in order to suggest which…
Data warehouses organize data in a columnar format to enable faster scans and better compression. Modern systems offer a variety of column encodings that can reduce storage footprint and improve query performance. Selecting a good encoding…
Here, we present a simple, low-cost format for structured speaking and listening on historical, cultural, and equity-related topics within a physics institute. In this article, we describe how we run hour-long Learning Together sessions,…
In October 1604, when SN1604, the last naked-eye visible supernova in our Galaxy, exploded, Galileo Galilei was the professor of mathematics and astronomy at the University of Padua, teaching the mechanics of planets. He was therefore the…
Large language models(LLMs) like Gemini are becoming common tools for supporting student writing. But most of their feedback is based only on the final essay missing important context about how that text was written. In this paper, we…
This report examines the open questions that remain unsolved following the measurements with antineutrons ($\bar n$) as probes conducted up to the 1990s at the LEAR facility at CERN. It also presents suggestions for possible new experiments…
This brief review grew out from the HEP Concluding Talk of the {\it 25th Anniversary of the Rencontres du Vietnam}, held August 2018 in Quy Nhon. The first two-thirds gives a Summary and Highlights, or snapshot, of High Energy Physics at…
An introductory talk at a Meeting on results and prospects of collaboration of Russian research organizations with European organization for nuclear research (CERN), which took place at the Ministry of science and technical policy of Russia…
While the positive outcomes of undergraduate research experiences (UREs) have been extensively categorized, the mechanisms for those outcomes are less understood. Through lightly structured focus group interviews, we have extracted the…
Remarks at the Irving Kaplansky Memorial about a collaboration during the early period of the renewal of contacts between mathematicians and theoretical physicists.
I describe attempts to identify and understand the most isolated galaxies starting from my 1983 Leiden PhD thesis, continuing through a string of graduate theses on various aspects of this topic, and concluding with an up-to-date account of…
Some highlights are given of the IAU Symposium 334, Rediscovering our Galaxy, held in Potsdam, in July 2017: from the first stars fossil records found in the halo, the carbon-enhanced metal poor CEMP-no, to the cosmological simulations…
We revisit the INTERSPEECH 2009 Emotion Challenge -- the first ever speech emotion recognition (SER) challenge -- and evaluate a series of deep learning models that are representative of the major advances in SER research in the time since…
Addressing students by their names helps a teacher to start building rapport with students and thus facilitates their classroom participation. However, this basic yet effective skill has become rather challenging for university lecturers,…
LHCb will commence data taking as the first dedicated heavy flavour experiment at a hadron collider in 2008. A very high hit precision from its vertex detector (VELO) is essential to meet the tight requirements of vertex reconstruction in…
In 2006, the course "Modeling of Organizations" is taught for the third time. This third time will be the second time we will use the new lecture notes "Work Systems Modelling" from the DA VINCI series. These lecture notes, however, will be…
