Getting the units right

July 25, 2016
Author(s)
Howard S. Cohl, Moritz A. Schubotz, David Veenhuis
To understand applied physics, and physical formulae in particular, the investigation of identifier units is beneficial. However, normally the units are not given explicitly in formulae and have to be inferred. In this paper, we investigate how this

The LaTeXML Daemon: Editable Math on the Collaborative Web

December 31, 2011
Author(s)
Deyan Ginev, Heinrich Stammerjohanns, Bruce R. Miller, Michael Kohlhase
The language of the \TeX/\LaTeX} typesetting system has become all-pervasive in scientific publications and has proven its stability, convenience and expressivity in its three-decade history. With the advent of the Web 2.0 paradigm, it has also become the

Password Entry Errors: Memory or Motor?

April 9, 2015
Author(s)
Kristen Greene, Frank Tamborello
As we increasingly rely upon our computer information systems to store and operate on sensitive information, the methods we use to authenticate user identity also become more important. One of the most important such methods is the password. However

An Analysis of Combined CFD and Multizone IAQ Model Assembly Issues

January 1, 2001
Author(s)
Amy Musser
This study considers the situation of two isothermal rooms linked to one another via an opening of varying size. Air and a neutrally buoyant contaminant are transferred through the opening in an essentially one way flow situation, driven by forced

Setting standards for data driven materials science

October 1, 2024
Author(s)
Keith Butler, Kamal Choudhary, Gabor Csanyi, Alex Ganose, Sergei Kalinin, Dane Morgan
A young Steve Jobs once called computers 'bicycles for the mind' – he was referring to the dramatic decrease in the energetic cost of transportation that could be obtained with the bicycle, which breaks all scaling laws for how efficiently an animal can

Calculation of Obstructed View Factors by Adaptive Integration

November 1, 2002
Author(s)
George Walton
This report describes the use of adaptive integration for the calculation of view factors between simple convex polygons with obstructions. The accuracy of the view factor calculation is controlled by a convergence factor. The adaptive integration method
