Optimization of the thermal performance of building double-skin envelope by Chua, Wei Jin

“…Therefore, to slow down the rise in the mean global temperature, a double-skin roof technology was used to reduce the heat produced by the sun from getting into the building. When less heat gets into the building, thermal comfort can be achieved much easily and also reducing the usage of air-conditioner. …”

The legacy of polders: Diagnosing complex flooding processes and adaptation options in the coastal region of Bangladesh by Adnan, MSG

“…<p>Polders (enclosed coastal embankments) are often constructed to protect river and coastal floodplains in deltas. In Bangladesh, a total of 139 polders have been constructed between the 1960s and 1980s to safeguard agricultural lands from potential damage due to tidal floods, storm surge floods, and salinity intrusion. …”

Liquid state machine with dendritically enhanced readout for low-power, neuromorphic VLSI implementations by Roy, Subhrajit, Banerjee, Amitava, Basu, Arindam

“…Compared to the parallel perceptron architecture trained by the p-delta algorithm, which is the state of the art in terms of performance of readout stages, our readout architecture and learning algorithm can attain better performance with significantly less synaptic resources making it attractive for VLSI implementation. …”
