Two sources of BitTorrent data were utilised: meta- data files and the logs of one of the currently most popular BitTorrent clients--gTorrent. Experimental data were collected for fifteen days from the popular torrent-discovery site thepiratebay.org (more than 30 000 torrents were captured and analysed). During this pe- riod the activity and logs of an unmodified version of μTorrent client downloading ses- sions were also captured. The obtained ex- perimental results are swarm-oriented, which allows us to look at BitTorrent and its users from an exchanged resources perspective. Moreover, comparative analysis of the clients' connections with and without the μTP proto- col is carried out to verify the extent to which μTP improves BitTorrent transmissions. To the authors' best knowledge, none of the previous studies have addressed these issues.展开更多

The results indicated that the distributed antenna system has more uniform power coverage than the centralized antenna system. The average relative errors of receiving power of both antennas were calculated. The optimal position of the centralized antenna was obtained by Gaussian function refinement, making the system achieve a better transmission power with the same coverage effect, and providing a reference for antenna location in the future real communication in the cabin.展开更多

The proposed method deals with the actually measured free-decay signal with curve fitting and avoids enlarging the identified error caused by intermediate conversion, so it can effectively improve the identified accuracy of damping ratios. Simulations for a room-sized vibration isolation foundation show that the relative errors of analyzed three damping ratios are down to 1.05%, 1.51% and 3.7% by the proposed method from 8.42%, 5.85% and 8.5% by STD method when the noise level is 10%.展开更多

In obtaining all the thermodynamic properties of some materials from their experimental heat capacity data only, we aim to get the tempera- ture-independent energy spectrum. However, all the practical measured energy spectra depend on the temperature of experi- ments. One promising method to obtain the temperature-independent energy spectrum is to solve the so-called specific heat-phonon spectrum inversion (SPI) problem. Here we show, by developing a new practical solution method of SPI, the phonon spectrum of the negative thermal expansion material ZrW208 is obtained. This phonon spectrum is tempera- ture-independent and almost method independent. Hence all the thermodynamic properties of ZrW208, such as thermodynamic potential, entropy, Helmholtz free energy, etc. are obtained by heat capacity only.展开更多
