Improvements to the Cheng-Todreas wire-wrapped rod bundle friction factor correlation in response to pin number and in the transition flow region
The Cheng-Todreas Detailed (CTD) Pressure Drop Correlation (1986) is the most accurate correlation for measuring the pressure drop of sodium coolant through a Sodium-Cooled Fast Reactor (SFR). Although CTD is the most accurate correlation, there is room for improvement with new data and modern ways …

Higher canonical asymptotics of Kähler-Einstein metrics on quasi-projective manifolds
… with simple normal crossings. The weighted Cheng-Yau Hilder spaces and the log-filtrations based on the bounded geometry are introduced to characterize the asymptotics. We first develop the analysis of the Monge-Ampere operators on these weighted spaces. We construct a family of linear …

Single-Step Factor Screening and Response Surface Optimization Using Optimal Designs with Minimal Aliasing
Cheng and Wu (2001) introduced a method for response surface exploration using only one design by using a 3-level design to first screen a large number of factors and then project onto the significant factors to perform response surface exploration. Previous work generally involved selecting …

Correspondence Patterns and Perceptual Distance of Consonants Between Southern Min and Cantonese
… among Chinese dialects first proposed by Cheng (1990, 1992, 1994a, 1996, 1997). While most researchers approach the study of Chinese dialect affinity using shared rules among dialects, we examine mutual intelligibility to investigate the affinity of Chinese dialects. Cheng proposed to …

Examining a Three-Dimensional Model of Competitive State Anxiety in Sport
… adaptive nature of anxiety was proposed by Cheng et al. (2009); however, little research has tested this model since its development. Subsequently, this thesis reassessed the measurement model because of limitations found in previous measurement model specifications (Cheng et al., 2009; …

Tetrahedral Mesh Improvement, Algorithms and Experiments
… with the Delaunay refinement algorithm. Cheng et al. proposed to remove slivers by assigning real weights to the points and change the Delaunay to the weighted Delaunay mesh. This is referred to as the sliver exudation algorithm. Their theoretical bound on the achieved minimum mesh …

High performance sparse Fast Fourier Transform using OpenACC
… multiple approaches, such as over multicore by Cheng et al. over GPGPUs using CUDA by Cheng et al. and optimized for serial execution using SSE intrinsics by Schumacher et al. ☐ While the increase in number of cores and memory bandwidth on modern architectures provide an opportunity to improve …

CHARACTERIZATION OF THE NORTHERN HEMISPHERE GLACIAL CYCLE-II AND TERMINATION FROM HIGH RESOLUTION SPELEOTHEM ISOTOPE AND TRACE ELEMENTAL TIME-SERIES DATA, SOUTHWEST UNITED STATES
… in southeast (SE) China stalagmites SB11 (Cheng et al. 2009) and MSX (Cheng et al. 2006) during a NH insolation minimum ~ 135,000 – 130,000 years ago. Close correspondence between the SE China and SW USA speleothem record reveal a three step termination in association with T-II and the …

The impact of performance-based reward system (PBRS) on customers' perceived service outcomes
… & Slater, 1990) and public sector organisations (Cheng et al., 2004). Thus, it would be anticipated that customers should potentially be more satisfied if departments’ reward schemes were more customer focused. In that regard, it was expected that government departments having high customer …

Estimates on Oscillatory Singular Integral Operators
… stemming from Sj¨olin, Fan, Pan, Al-Qassem, and Cheng by demonstrating that the bounds continue to exhibit logarithmic behavior with regards to the coefficients associated to the phase function. These new conclusions allow room for further generalization of the phase function and for continued …

Studies on host-parasite relationships of some species of digenean larvae with the marine prosubranch littorina littorea
… and at isolated periods of time (see review by Cheng & Snyder 1962a). It was thought therefore that this aspect of host-parasite relationships afforded itself for further study from a quantitative and seasonal aspect.This work falls into three more or less distinct sections; with an additional …

Using Statistical Methods to Determine Geolocation Via Twitter
… According to a study done in 2010, Zhiyuan Cheng, was able to detect a location of a Twitter user within 100 miles of their actual location 51% of the time. While this may seem like an already significant find, this study was done while Twitter was still finding its ground to stand on. In …
