The onset of convection driven by buoyancy effects caused by various modes of transient heat conduction: Part I. Transient Rayleigh numbers by Tan, Ka Kheng, Thorpe, Rex B

“…Transient Rayleigh numbers (Ra) for these boundary conditions are defined for each of the respective modes of heat transport. It is found that the onset of convection can be predicted from a maximum transient Ra if its corresponding Biot number (Bi) is known. …”

Bit allocation techniques for video coding and broadcasting applications by Yao, Wei

“…In broadcast applications, multiple video sources are encoded in parallel and transmitted simultaneously over a bandwidth limited channel. Coding of each video independently at an equal proportion of the channel bandwidth is a straightforward method to allocate channel bandwidth but it suffers from big quality fluctuations between videos as well as within each video. …”

A coordination framework for multi-agent persuasion and adviser systems by Subagdja, Budhitama, Tan, Ah-Hwee, Kang, Yilin

“…In contrast to conventional models that rely on natural language contents or direct multi-modal cues to align the dialogs, the proposed framework is built to be more practical allowing the agents to actively share their observation, goals, and plans to each other. This allows them to adapt the schedules, strategies, and contents of their scheduled advices or reminders at runtime with respect to each other's objectives. …”
