Thermal Comfort Assessment

Thermal Comfort Assessment is a method for evaluating indoor environmental conditions to predict whether occupants will feel thermally comfortable. Pioneered by Povl Ole Fanger in the 1970s, it combines measurements of air temperature, humidity, air speed, and thermal properties of clothing and activity to determine co

Timeline Extraction

Timeline extraction is a natural-language-processing task that identifies events mentioned in text, anchors each event to a temporal expression, and arranges them into a chronologically ordered timeline. Formalised through the TempEval shared tasks (Verhagen et al., 2010), it enables automatic reconstruction of histori

Token Bucket

Token bucket is a simple and elegant algorithm for traffic shaping and rate limiting. A virtual bucket accumulates tokens at a fixed rate (the committed information rate). Incoming packets consume tokens (one token per byte); packets are transmitted only if sufficient tokens are available. If the bucket is full, excess

Tromp Curve

The Tromp Curve, introduced by K. Tromp in 1937, is an empirical model that quantifies the performance of size classifiers (cyclones, screens, jigs) by showing the fraction of particles at each size that report to the target stream (overflow or underflow). It is universally used in mineral processing to evaluate classi

Turbo Code

Turbo codes, introduced by Berrou, Glavieux, and Thitimajshima in 1993, are a landmark in channel coding history. They achieve performance within 0.5 dB of the Shannon limit—the theoretical boundary for reliable communication—a feat previously thought impossible with practical complexity. Turbo codes use concatenated c

Unit Commitment

Unit Commitment (UC) is the problem of deciding which power generation units should be switched on or off over a planning horizon (typically 24-168 hours) to minimize total operating cost while meeting demand and reserve requirements. Introduced by Baldwin et al. in 1959, UC is a fundamental scheduling problem in power

Unit Hydrograph

The unit hydrograph (UH) is a linear transformation that converts rainfall excess into streamflow for a watershed. Introduced by Sherman in 1932, the UH assumes that rainfall-runoff response is linear and time-invariant, enabling synthesis of flood hydrographs from design storms for dam spillway design and flood risk a

Unscented Kalman Filter

The Unscented Kalman Filter (UKF) is a nonlinear state estimation algorithm that approximates nonlinear systems without requiring explicit Jacobian computation. Introduced by Julier and Uhlmann in 1997, the UKF uses the unscented transform—a deterministic method to capture mean and covariance statistics through a caref

Urban Form Analysis

Urban Form Analysis is a systematic method for studying and characterizing the physical structure, layout, and historical development of cities and neighborhoods. Pioneered by M.R.G. Conzen in 1960, it examines how blocks, streets, plots, and buildings combine to create distinct urban patterns, and how these patterns i

Use Case Point Estimation

Use case point (UCP) estimation quantifies software development effort by analyzing use cases and environmental factors.

Word Sense Disambiguation

Word sense disambiguation (WSD) is the natural-language-processing task of choosing the correct meaning of a polysemous word from its context.

Word2Vec

Word2Vec is a neural word-embedding technique introduced by Mikolov and colleagues in 2013 that maps each word in a text corpus to a dense numeric vector. Words that appear in similar contexts end up close together in the vector space, so the embeddings capture semantic similarity that can be measured arithmetically.
