Simulations study of fluid-structure interaction of a wind turbine by Zheng, Shuai

“…With wind speed of 10m⁄s, most of the flow over the lower surface remains attached and the wind turbine blade was running under design condition. As the wind speed increases, flow separation emerges. …”

Studies of insulin transport across intestinal epithelium using nano-encapsulation for oral delivery by Zhang, Yiming

“…Great efforts have been devoted to the development of an effective alternative treatment but none of them has been turned into a solution to date. The discovery of insulin in the early 1920s brought promising hopes to pharmaceutical industries as increasing number of them have been attempting to load the drug in a capsule for the conventional oral route. …”

Landless in God’s own country: development and perpetual struggles in Kerala by Ramapurath Chemmencheri, S

“…Meanwhile, they have been dissuaded from turning into labourers in constant migration by virtue of welfare provisions and political mobilisation. …”

A study on dual topic models and bayesian topic model inference by Rugeles, Daniel

“…One key benefit of the proposed method lies in its deterministic nature, which largely improves the running efficiency as well as predictive perplexity for inference. …”

GPU-based commonsense reasoning for real-time query answering and multimodal analysis by Tran, Ha Nguyen

“…A typical GPU device consists of hundreds of cores running simultaneously. Modern General Purpose GPUs have been successfully adopted to accelerate heavy workload tasks such as relational database joining operations, fundamental large-scale graph algorithms, and big data analytics. …”

Combinatorial algorithms for scheduling jobs to minimize server usage time by Ren, Runtian

“…The Flexible Job Scheduling problem aims at determining the starting times of flexible jobs that do not have to be started immediately at their arrivals to minimize the span of all the jobs, where the span is the time duration in which at least one job is running. In the non-clairvoyant online setting, we first show that no deterministic online scheduler can achieve a competitive ratio less than µ. …”

21W.747 Rhetoric, Fall 2002 by Strang, Steven M.

“…At its worst, however, rhetoric is used unethically by people to manipulate us instead of enlightening us, to spread propaganda instead of seeking truth, to make palatable those ideas and products whose adoption actually runs counter to our best interests. Understanding rhetoric, then, is our best defense against its abusers-- e.g., political "spin doctors," advertisers, demagogues, apologists for immoral business practices, and hate mongers. …”

Towards haptic intelligence in robots by learning from demonstration by Turlapati Sri Harsha

“…This is evident from how we are able to look for objects in the dark, wield them intelligently without having to know where we are holding them and even form a mental image of an object by running our hands along its surface. In the first part of this thesis, we build on this latter idea of performing haptic exploration of surfaces with a focus on extracting the geometry of fine features. …”

Towards practical data-driven predictive maintenance: a robust and generalizable deep learning approach by Mohamed Ragab Mohamad Adam

“…On the one hand, data labeling and annotation can be very laborious tasks, especially for sensor data that encompass complex underlying patterns. Furthermore, running to failure for vast and sophisticated machines can be costly and cause catastrophic consequences. …”

Mastering Voice Interfaces : Creating Great Voice Apps for Real Users / by Thymé-Gobbel, Ann, author 642940, Jankowski, Charles, author 642941

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…Where they are more definitely distinguished, without running text titles or sequential chapter numbering, and with their own distinct titles and colophons, we have classified them as separate texts. …”

Towards robust sensing and recognition : from statistical learning to transfer learning by Yang, Jianfei

“…Firstly, we formulate the Edge Domain Adaptation (EDA) problem that addresses the domain shift between a model trained in center server and the model running in edge devices. Then MobileDA is proposed to deal with this problem by joint minimization of domain disparity and model complexity. …”
