Frontal Dynamics in the Alboran Sea: 2. Processes for Vertical Velocities Development by Garcia‐Jove, Maximo, Mourre, Baptiste, Zarokanellos, Nikolaos D., Lermusiaux, Pierre F. J., Rudnick, Daniel L., Tintoré, Joaquín

“…To improve the understanding of the processes that underlie the development of the vertical velocities in the fronts, the periods of development were analyzed in the perspective of the frontogenesis, instabilities, non‐linear Ekman, and filamentogenesis mechanisms, using multi‐platform in‐situ observations and a high‐resolution realistic simulation in spring 2018. The spatio‐temporal characteristics of the WAGF indicate a wider, deeper, and longer‐lasting front than the EAGF. …”

Artificial intelligence, rationalization, and the limits of control in the public sector: the case of tax policy optimization by Mökander, J, Schroeder, R

“…Second, we demonstrate how much of the criticisms, both among the public and in scholarship, directed towards AI systems spring from well-known tensions at the heart of Weberian rationalization. …”

Evaluation of environmental parameters and economic efficiency of integrated farming system on acidic soil and saltwater intrusion in the coastal area: a case study of Mekong Delta... by Ha, Vo Van, Di, Huynh Ba, Nha, Duong Van, Phuoc, Nguyen Van

“…Acidity and salinity factors affect the rice yield of Winter-Spring crops. The sedge grass (Cyperus malaccensis) grew well under the pH and salinity conditions, but the sedge yield in the dry season was higher than in the rainy season. …”

Forces on oscillating uniform and tapered cylinders in a crossflow by Hover, F. S., Techet, A. H., Triantafyllou, M.S.

“…To study free motions, a novel force-feedback control system has been developed, consisting of: (a) a force transducer, which measures forces on a section of a cylinder moving forward at constant speed; (b) a computer using the measured force signal to drive in real time a numerical simulation of an equivalent mass-dashpot-spring system; (c) a servomotor and linear table which impose, also in real time, the numerically calculated motion on the cylinder section. …”

Report for project A1017-101on hybrid solar PV thermal (PVT) system using a tracking solar trough I by Cheung, Wai Kin.

“…It is also witnessed that the temperature behind the cell with cooling at 0.448 l/min reached 63.7°C, while the water harnessed from the cooling system output reach 57.5°C which is comparable to water temperature in the hot spring. The scopes and objectives of the project was therefore declared fulfilled however several recommendation were raised through the observations by the author to suggest further improvement on the studies.…”
