Synthesisation, characterisation and water adsorption on novel functional metal organic frameworks for heat transformation process by Han, Bo

“…Employing experimentally confirmed isotherms, kinetics and data related to bed dimensions and overall heat transfer coefficient, the energy and entropy balances for each component of heat transformation system (for cooling, heat pumping and desalination) are developed to calculate the system-performance and overall entropy generation from transient to cyclic steady state. …”

A multi-scale attributes attention model for transport mode identification by Jiang, Guiyuan, Lam, Siew-Kei, He, Peilan, Ou, Changhai, Ai, Dihao

“…Since the learned latent local attributes are significantly different from the global features (e.g. average/min/max travel speeds which are measurable quantities), an ensemble model based on Neural Decision Forest (NDF) is employed to fuse the heterogeneous features consisting of both measurable quantities and non-measurable elements for determining the transport mode. …”

Exploring connections between seagrass ecosystem services and meadow hydrodynamics by Schaefer, Rachel

“…For more flexible leaves, defined as having a ratio of drag force to restoring force due to stiffness greater than 100, drag reduction due to current-induced deflection competes against drag augmentation due to lower relative motion, such that enhancing current speeds reduces wave energy dissipation only when the current velocity is less than one-third of the maximum wave velocity. …”

Understanding Chromatin Organization and Dynamics with Coarse-Grained Modeling by Liu, Shuming

“…OpenABC incorporates diverse CG force fields within an extensible framework and is built on a simulation platform that supports GPU acceleration, thus speeding up CG simulations. In Chapters 4 and 5, we shift our focus to the applications of CG simulations. …”

Controls on eruption style at Rabaul, Papua New Guinea – insights from microlites, porosity and permeability measurements by Bernard, Olivier., Bouvet de Maisonneuve, Caroline

“…In the case of sub-plinian products, due to the important kinetic crystallization lag, these speeds cannot be estimated using microlite crystallization triggered by decompression as a proxy. …”

Land reclamation - from conventional vertical drain methods to a combined vacuum preloading and electro-osmosis with horizontal drainage enhanced geotextile sheets by Wong, Lung Anthony

“…The effect of electro-osmosis is estimated to be equivalent to a 47 kPa additional surcharge which further speeds up the consolidation process.…”
