High backgrounds and detector ageing impact the track finding in the Belle II central drift chamber, reducing both track purity and track efficiency in events. This necessitates the development of new track finding algorithms to mitigate…
The large dynamic range in some astrophysical N-body problems led to the use of adaptive multi-time-steps; however, the search for optimal strategies is still challenging. We numerically quantify the performance of the hierarchical…
Trace finite element methods have become a popular option for solving surface partial differential equations, especially in problems where surface and bulk effects are coupled. In such methods a surface mesh is formed by approximately…
ALICE is a general purpose experiment dedicated to the study of nucleus-nucleus collisions at LHC. After more than 3 years of successful operation, an upgrade of the apparatus during the second long shutdown of LHC (LS2) in 2017/18 is in…

The time step criterion plays a crucial role in direct N-body codes. If not chosen carefully, it will cause a secular drift in the energy error. Shared, adaptive time step criteria commonly adopt the minimum pairwise time step, which…
When a system's constraints change abruptly, the system's reachability safety does no longer sustain. Thus, the system can reach a forbidden/dangerous value. Conventional remedy practically involves online controller redesign (OCR) to…
One-to-one set matching is a key design for DETR to establish its end-to-end capability, so that object detection does not require a hand-crafted NMS (non-maximum suppression) to remove duplicate detections. This end-to-end signature is…
