This paper considers the outflow of a liquid from a single outlet vessel, i.e. a vessel in which the outflowing liquid is displaced by another fluid which enters the vessel through the same opening. The simplest possible arrangement is investigated:... Read More about An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels.

It has been claimed for some time that the Reed-Muller technique can yield a simpler arithmetic circuit if it is employed in the design procedure. In fact, no practical application in this field can be found in the open literature. This paper attempt... Read More about One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions.

A brief overview of neural network is presented. Neural networks have certainly made an impact, and it is now at the stage of getting past the initial hype to see the sort of tasks that neural network are really suited to. There is no doubt that neur... Read More about Neural networks in measurement and control.

A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques (1995)
Thesis
Guan, Z. A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques. (Thesis). Edinburgh Napier University. http://researchrepository.napier.ac.uk/id/eprint/4340

Reed-Muller algebraic techniques, as an alternative means in logic design, became more attractive recently, because of their compact representations of logic functions and yielding of easily testable circuits. It is claimed by some researchers that R... Read More about A study of arithmetic circuits and the effect of utilising Reed-Muller techniques.
