The probability hypothesis density (PHD) filter suffers from lack of precise estimation of the expected number of targets. The Cardinalized PHD (CPHD) recursion, as a generalization of the PHD recursion, remedies this flaw and simultaneously propagates the intensity function and the posterior cardinality distribution. While there are a few new approaches to enhance the Sequential Monte Carlo (S...

Diagnostic reference levels (DRLs) should be used by regional, national and local authorised bodies. The numerical values of DRLs are advisory, however, implementation of the DRL concept may be required by an authorised body. The concept of DRLs allows flexibility in their selection and implementation. The present ICRP advice does not specify quantities, numerical values or details of implement...

The complex-step method for calculating sensitivities and its use in numerical algorithms is presented. A general procedure for the implementation of this method is described in detail and a script is developed that automates its implementation. The numerical examples include the automatic conversion of a structural finite element and a two-dimensional computational fluid dynamics code. In both...

This paper presents an efficient parallel implementation of a Vlasov solver. Our implementation is based on an adaptive numerical scheme of resolution. The underlying numerical method uses a dyadic mesh which is particularly well suited to manage data locality. We have developed an adapted data distribution pattern based on a division of the computational domain into regions and integrated a lo...

This work concerns the micromechanical constitutive modelling, algorithmic implementation and numerical simulation of polycrystalline superelastic alloys under multiaxial loading. The model is formulated in finite deformations and incorporates the effect of texture. The numerical implementation is based on the constrained minimization of the Helmholtz free energy with dissipation. Simulations a...

To err is human. Clinical practice guidelines (CPGs) are often not followed and lead to adverse outcomes. The issue on implementation of CPG is complex. A review of CPG implementation is done to identify the barriers and enablers. For the first time, a fishbone diagram is used to delineate the root-causes. And Haddon matrix is applied to help understand the complexity of evidence-based implemen...

The aim of this study was to explore participants' experiences and opinions about a free-choice system in relation to policy objectives articulated by the national government and local authorities. A case study was conducted. Thirty-five informants participated. Qualitative interviews were undertaken. Results are discussed on how to address different dimensions of choice, not only where, but al...

Let HilbS be the Hilbert scheme of g points on a K3 surface S. Suppose that PicS = ZC where C is a smooth curve with C = 2(g − 1)n. We prove that HilbS is a Lagrangian fibration.

Scientific reasoning is a key skill in academic contexts and may be trained with interactive learning tasks, that require learners to explicitly give reasons for their solution. We provide a general, mathematically motivated algebraic model for reasoning tasks that enables computer-based analysis of answers and feedback generation, especially in the case of tasks that have distinct permissible ...
