Use of osmotic tensiometers in the determination of soil-water characteristic curves by Liu, Hengshuo, Rahardjo, Harianto, Satyanaga, Alfrendo, Du, Hejun

“…The temperature effect on the pressure variations of OTs was illustrated based on Flory-Huggins polymer theories and an appropriate calibration equation was proposed to eliminate the temperature effect on the accuracy of soil suction measurement using OT. The OT showed a fast response in soil suction measurement and the equilibrium can be established in 10–15 min during SWCC measurement. …”

Fault-tolerant computation meets network coding: optimal scheduling in parallel computing by Li, Congduan, Zhang, Yiqian, Tan, Chee Wei

“…Specifically, we determine the optimal redundancy-failure rate tradeoff to incorporate redundancy into parallel computing units running multiple-precision arithmetics, like the Chinese Remainder Theorem, that are useful for applications such as asymmetric cryptography and fast integer multiplication. Inspired by network coding in distributed storage for disk failures, we propose coding matrices to strategically map partial computation to available computing units, so that the central unit can reliably reconstruct the results of any failed machine without recalculations to yield the final correct computation output. …”
