Avoiding catastrophic overfitting in fast adversarial training with adaptive similarity step size. by Jie-Chao Zhao, Jin Ding, Yong-Zhi Sun, Ping Tan, Ji-En Ma, You-Tong Fang

“…In recent years, fast adversarial training methods have gained widespread attention due to their lower computational cost. However, since fast adversarial training uses single-step adversarial attacks instead of multi-step attacks, the generated adversarial examples lack diversity, making models prone to catastrophic overfitting and loss of robustness. …”

THERMAL EFFECTIVENESS OF THE GAS FLOW VORTICAL HEAT-RELEASE INTENSIFICATION AT AXIAL AND TRANSVERSAL FLOWING-AROUND THE ROUND-TUBULAR SURFACES. Part 1 by V. B. Kuntysh, A. V. Sukhotskiy, A. V. Yatsevich

“…To exclude the heat-exchange surface square influence on the result and for obtaining the comparable valuesi it is indispensable to calculate the power input by the effective value of the surface square.While performing computations of the energy effectiveness it is necessary to recon with the fact that accounting for the stream-pressure local losses at the tube entrance and exit reduces the axial-stream thermal effectiveness coefficient by 33 %. …”
