Notes on Thermodynamics : Hot Oolong Cools / by Kang, Hway Chuan, author 655469, World Scientific (Online service) 655444

“…Thermodynamics is presented as the macroscopic approach to understanding Nature when heat is involved. The book draws upon the idea of microstates where that clarifies the macroscopic ideas: entropy of mixing of gases is linked to Boltzmann and Gibbs' entropy formulations, thus motivating the formulation of the chemical potential of non-ideal systems in terms of their activities. …”

Information retrieval and multimodal sentiment analysis for climate change by Duong, Cuc Thi Kim

“…In addition, it found that public opinions on social media contain harmful noises; therefore, users should be cautious and critical when reading these posts. When conducting a pilot study in mining public opinion about climate change-related hazards, such as wildfires in Australia, we found that people started to link wildfires as one of the impacts of climate change in the years 2016-2017. …”

Modeling the Impact of Electrolyte Flow on Heat Management in a Li-Ion Convection Cell by Gao, Weiran, Drake, Javit, Brushett, Fikile R

“…We show, through physics-based electrothermal modeling and dimensional analysis of a single, planar LIB cell, that electrolyte convection can simultaneously draw heat from the cell and suppress heat generation from entropy change, charge-transfer, and ohmic losses, and that the cell temperature rise can be effectively mitigated when heat removal matches or exceeds heat generation. …”

A chance-constrained model for regional air quality management by Tan, Michele Mei Wen.

“…In this way, the highly random RHS constraints will be satisfied at predetermined confidence levels, providing a more flexible and in-depth tradeoff analysis when applied to air quality management. To determine the applicability of the proposed ICCLP to regional air quality management, it was applied to a hypothetical case study, where the results were analyzed and compared with those from the ILP and CCP models. …”

Patterns of link reciprocity in directed, signed networks by Gallo, A, Saracco, F, Lambiotte, R, Garlaschelli, D, Squartini, T

“…To fill this gap, we focus on signed, directed connections, with the aim of exploring the notion of frustration in such a context. When dealing with signed, directed edges, frustration is a multi-faceted concept, admitting different definitions at different scales: if we limit ourselves to consider cycles of length two, frustration is related to reciprocity, i.e. the tendency of edges to admit the presence of partners pointing in the opposite direction. …”
