Popular Chinese Fables
No full textThis is a worthy book. It is divided into nine sections, with a reflection following each, apparently written by Chua Wei Lin. I presume that he also wrote the prologue, The Journey of Your Life! Some seventy-three fables are done in comics panels in these nine sections. Many are quite good! At the bottom of a fable is regularly a philosopher's moral for the fable and the literary source. Some of my favorites here include The Man from Zheng Buys Shoes (10); Waiting for Hares to Come (14); Learning the Handan Walk (24); Blind Men Try to Size Up an Elephant (26); An Owl Moves East (36); Two Boys Argue about the Sun (40); Pulling Up Shoots to Help Them Grow (mistitled, 45); Celebrity Endorsement (56); If the Lips Are Gone, the Teeth Will Be Cold (64); Yang Yu Beats the Dog (72); A Man from Yue and a Dog (74); Thrusting One's Spear at One's Own Shield (87); Whipping a Horse or a Goat (88); and The Strategy of Covering Up One's Nose (92).Original language: chiComics Text by Wu Jingyu & Geraldine Cha
Unifying the Tank and Hopfield Linear Programming Circuit and the Canonical Nonlinear Programming Circuit of Chua and Lin
No full textThe linear programming network of Tank and Hopfield is shown to obey the same unifying stationary cocontent theorem as the canonical nonlinear programming circuit of Chua and Lin. Application of this theorem highlights an error in the design of Tank and Hopfield and suggests how this can be corrected to guarantee the existence of a bounded solution. The accuracy of the solution is maximized when the circuit of Tank and Hopfield reduces to the simplest special case of the canonical nonlinear programming circuit. © 1987 IEE

An Analysis of <i>Judge Lin</i>
No full textBiography of Lin Wen Zhong Gong has another way to call, that is Judge Lin. The leading character is Lin Ze-Xu. This book is based on functionary experience of Lin Ze-Xu, with the captivating plots of court case, helping by highly skilled military attach\uc3\ua9s and chivalrous knights, and the history facts of Opium War. It makes Lin Ze-Xu\ue2s Confucian temperament and tragic mood more, also contrasts with author\ue2s sorrow and furiousness for the politics at the time. History, court case, martial arts\ue2\ua6\ue2\ua6etc. are essence of this book and it broadens the way of this writing style.
The topic of the thesis is \ue2An Analysis of Judge Lin\ue2. The following thesis will be divided into six different chapters. The introduction is Chapter one of the thesis, which is including researching motive and purpose, literature review of predecessors, researching version by existing information, raising questions, choosing research methods and arranging chapters. In chapter Two, I discuss the study of characters of Lin Ze-Xu, also makes a deep analysis of author\u27s purpose of writing him. In chapter Three, I analyze supporting actors and actress. Meanwhile, I illustrate author\u27s purpose of writing supporting actress because the author had different manner to describe supporting actress. Moving to the Chapter Four, I mainly focus on the plots of Judge Lin, and organize cases of Lin Ze-Xu and his subordinates to understand features of cases. In Chapter Five, I represent the causes of Opium War. China and England had difference of opinions of opium. Therefore, it is easier to comprehend what the author\u27s purpose is. In the last chapter I summarize the main points of the preceding chapters and confirm particularity of Judge Lin
Affinity : our song.
No full textAffinity: Our Song is an animated music video that lasts for 2minutes and 52 seconds created and produced by Ang Qing Sheng and Vivien Chua.
The story is about two characters, Kai and Fia. Male character Kai recollects old memories of his brief and ambiguous relationship with female character Fia. They were separated after Fia moves to somewhere far away, but Kai believes that affinity will someday allow the two of them to meet again.
Affinity is a story of childhood love, told from the perspective of Kai. It is done in a realistic 3D style, with a stop motion sequence. It is a story of a person who is waits, and the person whom he is waiting for, and whether affinity can bring these two people back together again.Bachelor of Fine Art
Fundamental analysis of dew-point evaporative cooler
No full textThe performance of dew-point evaporative cooling is controlled by the fundamental physical processes related to fluid flow and heat and mass transfer. Investigation of these processes is crucial to reveal the underlying mechanisms and dominant factors of the cooler. This chapter presents several important methods that can be used to fundamentally analyze the dew-point evaporative cooling based on its CFD model developed in the last chapter. The scaling and dimensional analyses are basic yet powerful approaches for identifying the dominant dimensionless numbers of the cooling process and quantifying their influence on the objective parameters of the cooler. They can also be applied to examine the complex heat and mass transfer phenomena in the cooler that deviate from conventional constant boundaries. In addition, the exergy analysis is another approach to gain key insights into the irreversibility and potential of the dew-point evaporative cooling. It is worth noting that the methods presented in this chapter are feasible to any energy system, and a comprehensive understanding of the physical principles can be obtained by integrating these techniques
Modeling of dew-point evaporative coolers
No full textModeling is an essential approach to understanding the important physics that control dew-point evaporative cooling. It rationalizes the results from experimental investigations, gives insights into the physical mechanisms and relevant design parameters, and suggests ideas to improve the cooler performance further. This chapter details the state-of-the-art mathematical models developed for the dew-point evaporative coolers, which can be translated to different cooler geometries. The physics-based models of the dew-point evaporative coolers are developed based on thermodynamics, heat and mass transfer, and fluid mechanics. Depending on the physics and assumptions proposed, models with different levels of complexity can be developed, such as lumped parameter and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) models. The lumped parameter model can be solved analytically using the ε-NTU and LMTD method. In addition, data-driven models can be derived from the input–output data of the dew-point evaporative coolers, which can eliminate the need to physically understand the cooling process and respond in real time
Engineering of dew-point evaporative coolers
No full textThe concept of dew-point evaporative cooling brings about a new theoretical limit to evaporative cooling, attracting many research and engineering efforts to realize it in practice. The successful scientific progress of the dew-point evaporative cooler requires the excellent integration of many multiple disciplines. This chapter judiciously documents the engineering pathway in the development of dew-point evaporative cooling, highlighting the major points to consider to achieve efficient cooling. Different flow regimes, channel shapes, structural materials are tested during the design of the heat and mass exchangers. The geometric and operating conditions of the heat and mass exchangers must be determined according to the designated ambient conditions. In addition, the dew-point evaporative coolers can operate in different modes in order to optimize the fresh air intake or heat recovery from the room return air
