A data-assisted first-principle approach to modeling server outlet temperature in air free-cooled data centers by Liu, Yingbo, Le, Duc Van, Tan, Rui

“…However, the standard server's management and monitoring tool cannot read the server's built-in outlet temperature sensors fast enough to catch up the fast dynamics of the server outlet thermal condition caused by the changing server workload. …”

Transient amplification of broken symmetry in elastic snap-through by Wang, Qiong, Giudici, Andrea, Huang, Weicheng, Wang, Yuzhe, Liu, Mingchao, Tawfick, Sameh, Vella, Dominic

“…The system may not enter this region when loaded fast (hence remaining symmetric), but will traverse it for some interval of time when loaded slowly, causing a transient amplification of asymmetry. …”

The aerodynamics of turbomachines for high–enthalpy gas heating by Karefyllidis, N

“…Results from turbulence-resolving simulations indicated that a stage-loading coefficient of ψ ≥ 4 can be achieved-an order of magnitude greater than that of axial compressors. Ultra-fast energy delivery is accompanied by an ultra-fast energy conversion process, exploiting a system of shockwaves and turbulent mixing. …”

Design of digital filters by optimization techniques by Zhang, Dongye

“…To design better complex coefficient FIR filters, a weighed least-squares (WLS) constraint in magnitude is imposed and combined with minimax constraints in magnitude. …”

Performance of microwave formed angle ply composites by Bhudolia Somen Kumar.

“…The traditional method of Autoclave curing (Thermal curing), although being expensive, is still the most accepted because it gives least standard deviation during all mechanical tests as compared to other available methods like the use of Ultraviolet and gamma rays heating. …”

Three essays on family firms by Lim, So-Yeon

“…The evidence suggests that having at least two unrelated cofounders involved in management reduces agency problems through mutual monitoring, reducing the number of shareholder proposals and serving as a substitute for other governance mechanisms. …”

Book review : Facts, values and the policy world by Phil Ryan by Ginsburg, Norman

“…The distinction between facts and values is a methodological conundrum which faces all social scientists, not least critical social policy analysts. It concerns the need for evidence and rational argument to support a critical perspective on a social issue. …”

Interferometric scattering microscopy by Young, G, Kukura, P

“…Interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) is an extremely sensitive imaging method based on the efficient detection of light scattered by nanoscopic objects. The ability to, at least in principle, maintain high imaging contrast independent of the exposure time or the scattering cross section of the object allows for unique applications in single-particle tracking, label-free imaging of nanoscopic (dis)assembly, and quantitative single-molecule characterization. …”

Low energy levels of harmonic spheres into analytic manifolds by Rupflin, M

“…While a well known conjecture asserts that ΞE(N) is discrete whenever N is analytic, for most analytic targets it is only known that any potential accumulation point of the energy spectrum must be given by the sum of the energies of at least two harmonic spheres. The lowest energy level that could hence potentially be an accumulation point of ΞE is thus 2Emin. …”

A counterexample to the coarse Menger conjecture by Nguyen, T, Scott, A, Seymour, P

“…Recently, Georgakopoulos and Papasoglu and, independently, Albrechtsen, Huynh, Jacobs, Knappe and Wollan conjectured a coarse analogue of Menger’s theorem, when the k paths are required to be pairwise at some distance at least d. The result is known for k ≤ 2, but we will show that it is false for all k ≥ 3, even if G is constrained to have maximum degree at most three. …”

Distinction between charisma and vision. by Lim, Jacqueline Ai Hoon., Poh, Wan Fen., Lim, Yvonne San San.

“…In this paper, we believe that charisma and vision are two distinct constructs, unlike past research. A study was conducted on student leaders in NTU for measuring the two constructs and their effects on motivation, satisfaction, commitment and perforrmance of the followers. …”

Numerical and experimental study of pulsatile flow in bi-leaflet mechanical heart valves by Shi , Yubing.

“…This research project is aimed towards a better understanding of the flow field structure of a bi-leaflet mechanical heart valve (MHV) operating under simulated physiological condition. In the past, much research has been carried out to study the flow in heart valves with computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and particle image velocimetry (PIV) experimental methods.…”
