Thermal energy storage enhancement of latent heat thermal energy storage systems by Low, Zheng Hua

“…Results indicate that the longest fin with a downward angle of -15º yielded the best improvement in melt time. The study shows that long, downward tilted fins enhance PCM transient melting in a rectangular LHTES and the considerations that go along with these parameters. …”

Distribution and risk factors of canine heart diseases and survey for owners treatment intention by Noordin, Norhidayah

“…Most dog owners (92.3%) were willing to seek treatment if their pet dogs were diagnosed, but the cost (39.5%) was a primary concern for long-term treatment. Attitude, subjective norms, and PBC were significant predictors of the intention to treat. …”

A modified viscous flow law for natural glacier ice: Scaling from laboratories to ice sheets by Ranganathan, Meghana, Minchew, Brent

“…Our results yield a map of the dominant deformation mechanisms in the Antarctic Ice Sheet, showing that, contrary to long-standing assumptions, dislocation creep, characterized by a value of the stress exponent, likely dominates in all fast-flowing areas. …”

Development of a Computational Tool for Simplifying Engineering Tradeoff Analysis for the Design of Cost-Optimized, Time-Variant, Electrodialysis Reversal Desalination Systems by Costello, Jeffrey

“…In place of explicit computation, this paper proposes a simplifying assumptions to simulate desalination power and production rate of a TEDR process without explicit computation, enabling rapid year-long simulation and system optimization. The output of the model is compared to experimental data from a pilot TEDR system and found to have good agreement between desalination power and production rate. …”

Materials beyond monolayers: The magnetic quasi-1D semiconductor CrSBr by Klein, Julian, Ross, Frances M.

“…We describe monolayer properties exhibited by this material in its bulk form, discussing how the quasi-1D electronic structure of CrSBr allows mono- or bilayer physics to be displayed even in thick crystals. Long-range magnetic order offers additional tuning with the coupled lattice, spin, orbit, and charge degrees of freedom enabling magneto-correlated phenomena. …”

Active Learning for Inference and Regeneration of Applications that Access Databases by Shen, Jiasi, Rinard, Martin

“…Because the technique works with only externally observable inputs, outputs, and database contents, it can infer the behavior of applications written in arbitrary languages using arbitrary coding styles (as long as the behavior of the application is expressible in the domain-specific language). …”

VERY LARGE-SCALE NEIGHBORHOOD SEARCH FOR THE QUADRATIC ASSIGNMENT PROBLEM by Ahuja, Ravindra, Jha, Krishna, Orlin, James, Sharma, Dushyant

“…Previous efforts to explore larger size neighborhoods (such as 3-exchange or 4-exchange neighborhoods) were not very successful, as it took too long to evaluate the larger set of neighbors. In this paper, we propose very largescale neighborhood (VLSN) search algorithms where the size of the neighborhood is very large and we propose a novel search procedure to heuristically enumerate good neighbors. …”
