Abstract The design study of the AGATA array began with development simulation code using GEANT4. latter played a key part in final and provided cost effective solution for early tracking algorithm. has since been maintained developed by collaboration to provide more realistic simulations, reaction chambers, ancillary detectors surrounding mechanical structures completing entire setup.

We give a brief introduction to the mode-coupling theory of the glass transition, a theory which was proposed a while ago to describe the dynamics of supercooled liquids. After presenting the basic equations of the theory, we review some of its predictions and compare these with results of experiments and computer simulations. We conclude that the theory is able to describe the dynamics of supe...

We present a new time-splitting scheme for the numerical simulation of fluid-structure interaction between blood flow and vascular walls. This scheme deals in a successful way with the problem of the added mass effect. The scheme is modular and it embodies the stability properties of implicit schemes at the low computational cost of loosely coupled ones.
