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

“…With respect to horizontal fins, positively inclined fins of +15º and +30º delayed the full melt time by 3.8% and 4.0%, respectively, while negatively inclined fins at -15º and -30º improved the melt fraction difference by up to 5.2%. Three fin lengths corresponding to dimensionless lengths of 0.375, 0.625 and 0.875 were numerically studied together with varying angles. …”

Human factors in agile software development by Lin, Jun

“…To address these three questions, we have conducted a series of experiments, simulations and data analysis, and contributed a series of solutions and insights in this research, including 1) a Goal Net based method to enhance goal and requirement management for ASD process, 2) a novel Simple Multi-Agent Real-Time (SMART) approach to enhance intelligent task allocation for ASD process, 3) a Fuzzy Cognitive Map (FCM) based method to enhance emotion and morale management for ASD process, 4) a large-scale in-depth empirical analysis of human factors in the agile development process through the continuous observation of student ASD teams, and 5) the identification of an ASD process as a human-computation system that uses humans to perform tasks that computers are not good at and computers to assist human decision making.…”

Optimized GPU algorithms for sparse data problems by Pham, Nguyen Quang Anh

“…Our SpGEMM algorithm efficiently enumerates all the work done during a computation to achieve perfect load balancing, and also uses a randomized algorithm to nearly optimally partition the matrix into pieces small enough to be operated on using the fast but limited amount of shared memory. It is up to 2.5× faster than the state of the art GPU SpGEMM algorithm on the most difficult, unstructured matrices. …”

From node embedding to community embedding on graphs by Cavallari, Sandro

“…We further developed an efficient inference algorithm for ComE+ by maintaining the complexity as low as O(|V| + |E|). We evaluated the proposed algorithms on multiple real-world data sets and showed that they improve graph visualization and outperform the state-of-the-art baselines in various application tasks, e.g., community detection and node classification. …”
