In parsing natural language, incremental semantics composition is one of the most prominent issues. In the past, numerous approaches have been developed for assigning meaning to noun and verbal phrases and their complements and modifiers. Often, their inferential power is too low for practical applications or the expressiveness of the representation language leads to intractable inference proce...

In this study, we investigate tabs applied to turbulent flow over a circular cylinder for the reductions of mean drag and lift fluctuations. Tabs are small thin passive devices attached upper lower surfaces near separation. The Reynolds number considered is Re= 3900, based on free-stream velocity diameter. Large eddy simulations performed using dynamic global subgrid-scale eddy-viscosity model....

Indoor acoustic quality is one of the critical indicators for occupants’ health, comfort, and productivity in contemporary office environments. Post-occupancy evaluation (POE) usually employed to examine situ measurements ensure indoor quality. However, prevailing performance does not often consider technical attributes building systems (TABS) holistically investigate significant correlations b...

Direct numerical simulations (DNS) of a jet in cross-flow (JICF) with triangular tab at two positions are performed jet-to-cross-flow velocity ratios $R = 2$ and $4$ Reynolds number 2000 based on the jet's bulk exit diameter. The DNS dynamic mode decomposition show sensitivity tab's effect upstream shear layer (USL) structure cross-section to $R$ , echoing experimental discoveries Harris et al....

Direct ground cooling is a method for buildings whereby free provided by circulating water through borehole heat exchangers (BHEs). Since no refrigeration involved, supply temperature to the building’s system dependent mainly on BHE sizing. This study investigates sizing of BHEs direct systems, with particular focus influence terminal unit types and their operating strategies. Experimental resu...

In this paper, we describe a method that allows a hypermedia document to retain its hyperlinks in the printed copy. The method associates the hyperlinks with cut-out tabs on the edges of the printed pages. A method for modelling the cut-out tabs and optimizing their assignment to the hyperlinks is discussed. We also describe a prototype authoring system that implements the method.  1999 Publis...
