An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels (1995)
Journal Article
Schmidt, O., & Kubie, J. (1995). An experimental investigation of outflow of liquids from single-outlet vessels. International Journal of Multiphase Flow, 21(6), 1163-1168. https://doi.org/10.1016/0301-9322%2895%2900051-x

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.

One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions (1995)
Journal Article
Guan, Z., & Almaini, A. E. A. (1995). One-bit adder design based on Reed-Muller expansions. International Journal of Electronics, 79(5), 519-529. https://doi.org/10.1080/00207219508926289

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.
