Theoretical and Experimental Study of Positive-Pressure Condensation Heat and Mass Transfer Processes in Bent-Tube Heat Exchangers by Jiaming Xing, Qing Cheng

“…Condensation dehumidification is currently the mainstream means of dehumidification, and the idea is to precipitate moisture by cooling the air below the dew point temperature; however, this process requires the use of a chiller to provide a low-temperature cooling source, which triggers reheat losses. By positive-pressure condensation, the dew point temperature can be increased, thereby increasing the cooling source temperature. …”

Improving person re-identification based on two-stage training of convolutional neural networks and augmentation by S. A. Ihnatsyeva, R. P. Bohush

“…At the first stage, training is carried out on augmented data, at the second stage, fine tuning of the CNN is performed on the original images, which allows minimizing the losses and increasing model efficiency. The use of different data at different training stages does not allow the CNN to remember training examples, thereby preventing overfitting.Proposed method as expanding the training sample differs as it combines an image pixels cyclic shift, color  exclusion and fragment replacement with a reduced copy of another image. …”
