Thermal regulation and its impacts on human comfort and energy efficiency by Xiang, Zhenhui

“…The globally adopted thermal comfort assessment model is Fanger’s predicted mean vote model (PMV). However, this model has some limitations such as people who undergone the experiments are from a narrow range of age group; in addition, the experiment environment was under moderate thermal climate zones only. …”

A minimum area piston for compression ignition engines by Leach, F, Davy, M, Ayyapureddi, S, Pierson, S, San Primitivo Rodriguez, J, Sammut, G

“…Recent advances in fuel injection technology, allowing higher injection pressures and multiple injection events and digital rate shaping, along with variable intake valve technology mean that achieving sufficient fuel-air mixing may now not require an omega shaped bowl. …”

Multiple kernels for object detection by Vedaldi, A, Gulshan, V, Varma, M, Zisserman, A

“…Our contributions include (i) showing that a linear classifier can be evaluated with a complexity proportional to the number of sub-windows (independent of the sub-window area and descriptor dimension); (ii) a comparison of three efficient methods of proposing candidate regions (including the jumping window classifier of Chum and Zisserman (CVPR 2007) based on proposing windows from scale invariant features); and (Hi) introducing overlap-recall curves as a mean to compare and optimize the performance of the intermediate pipeline stages. …”

Multifaceted aerosol effects on precipitation by Stier, P, van den Heever, SC, Christensen, MW, Gryspeerdt, E, Dagan, G, Saleeby, SM, Bollasina, M, Donner, L, Emanuel, K, Ekman, AML, Feingold, G, Field, P, Forster, P, Haywood, J, Kahn, R, Koren, I, Kummerow, C, L’Ecuyer, T, Lohmann, U, Ming, Y, Myhre, G, Quaas, J, Rosenfeld, D, Samset, B, Seifert, A, Stephens, G, Tao, W-K

“…Broad consensus and strong theoretical evidence exist that aerosol radiative effects (aerosol–radiation interactions and aerosol–cloud interactions) act as drivers of precipitation changes because global mean precipitation is constrained by energetics and surface evaporation. …”

Hot and round: How temperature and shape impact the multisensory appreciation of cornmeal by Juravle, G, Duca, R, Feghiuș, C, Spence, C

“…In a between-participants experimental design conducted in an ecologically-valid restaurant setting, we investigated the appreciation of differently-shaped pieces of cornmeal (rounded vs. rectangular) for different serving temperatures (room-temperature vs. hot presentation). 282 participants (165 female, mean age of 37 years, SD = 11 years, age range 17–62 years) tasted the cornmeal and evaluated it with respect to several sensorial qualities (i.e., temperature, wetness, texture, elasticity, and liking) and indicated the perceived dominant taste from amongst the five basic tastes. …”

Investigation of logarithmic signatures for feature extraction and application to marine engine fault diagnosis by Patil, C, Theotokatos, G, Wu, Y, Lyons, T

“…The results demonstrate that the approach involving the use of eight elementary logS, Principal Components Analysis (PCA), standardisation and an ANN regression model comprising two hidden layers with ten neurons each is the most effective, as it exhibits the lowest values on both the root mean square and the standard error 95% confidence interval. …”

‘It's the little things that count’: healthcare professionals’ views on delivering dignified care: a qualitative study by Williams, V, Kinnear, D, Victor, C

“…<p><b>Background</b></p> Although ‘care’ and dignity in care are seen as central to the delivery of good care by patients, families and professionals, we still lack a clear understanding of what these, often contested and elusive concepts, mean in the practice setting, particularly from the perspective of healthcare professionals. …”
