Star formation has long been known to be an inefficient process, in the sense that only a small fraction $\epsilon_{\rm ff}$ of the mass of any given gas cloud is converted to stars per cloud free-fall time. However, developing a successful…
The massive star-forming region G332.83-0.55 contains at least two levels of hub-filament structures. The hub-filament structures may form through the "gravitational focusing" process. High-resolution LAsMA and ALMA observations can…

Point clouds (PC) are essential for AR/VR and autonomous driving but challenge compression schemes with their size, irregular sampling, and sparsity. MPEG's Geometry-based Point Cloud Compression (GPCC) methods successfully reduce bitrate;…
Due to the diverse sparsity, high dimensionality, and large temporal variation of dynamic point clouds, it remains a challenge to design an efficient point cloud compression method. We propose to code the geometry of a given point cloud by…
