Dynamics and stability of evaporating and condensing liquid layers by Wei, Tao

“…The destabilizing mechanism of vapor thrust competes with the stabilizing surface tension which is not asymptotically negligible near rupture. Nonlinear evolution in (1+1)D shows that for weak mass loss and strong vapor recoil, the capillary ridges emerge around a deepening narrow valley with increasing wavelength in sessile layers, while, for Rayleigh–Taylor layers the main and secondary droplets are either partially coalesced or completely separated by a sharp dry-out point on the basis of initial condition (IC). …”

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

“…This competitive ratio closely matches a known lower bound µ on the competitiveness of any deterministic online algorithm and shows that First Fit packing is near optimal. In the clairvoyant online setting, we establish a lower bound of Ω (log µ / log log µ)^1/2 on the competitive ratio of any deterministic online algorithm. …”

A combined numerical and experimental approach to investigations of body-freedom flutter on flying wings by Ang, Elijah Hao Wei

“…The structural dynamics are modelled using an Euler-Bernoulli beam which is tightly coupled with the rigid-body motions of the flying wing, and subsequently discretised using the finite-element method. …”

Tsewang Norbu NGB by Cantwell, C, Mayer, R

“…</p> <p>In the current context however, all editions are equally valuable potential witnesses to this ancient religious tradition. Given the recent near destruction of the entire rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum corpus, coupled with the fact that we often find numerous and substantial variants in rNying ma'i rgyud 'bum texts both transmissional (unwitting changes by copyists) and recensional (deliberate changes by editors), all editions are now invaluable sources for any research on this religious tradition, or, indeed, to any efforts to render these texts fully readable once more through careful textual editing. …”
