In such networks, power allocation and mode selection are crucial problems. To address the joint optimization of power and mode selection under imperfect CSI, we propose an optimal, energy-aware joint power allocation and mode selection(JPAMS) scheme. First, we derive the closed-form solution for the power minimization for both D2 D and cellular links while satisfying different quality of service(Qo S) constraints. Second, we address the mode selection problem in presence of imperfect CSI, based on the derived power allocation. Moreover, the theoretical analysis and simulation results are presented to evaluate the proposed scheme for the D2 D communications.展开更多

We show that in order for these manufacturing processes to be attractive,there is a need to go beyond traditional heat integration and water recycling techniques. Thus,we propose a strategy based on mathe-matical programming techniques to model and optimize the structure of the processes,and perform heat integration including the use of multi-effect distillation columns and integrated water networks to show that the energy effi-ciency and water consumption in bioethanol plants can be significantly improved. Specifically,under some circum-stances energy can even be produced and the water consumption can be reduced below the values required for the production of gasoline.展开更多

In this paper, we propose OFMPC, an Open Flow based Multi Path Cooperation framework, to decrease FCT and increase the network throughput. OFMPC partitions the end-to-end transmission paths into two classes, which are low delay paths(LDPs) and high throughput paths(HTPs), respectively. Short flows are assigned to LDPs to avoid long queueing delay, while long flows are assigned to HTPs to guarantee their throughput. Meanwhile, a dynamic scheduling mechanism is presented to improve network efficiency. We evaluate OFMPC in Mininet emulator and a testbed, and the experimental results show that OFMPC can effectively decrease FCT. Besides, OFMPC also increases the throughput up to more than 84% of bisection bandwidth.展开更多

However, China is experiencing a serious imbalance between supply and demand of naphtha, due to its rapidly increasing car population and booming ethylene industry, the demand of which cannot be met by the domestic depleting crude oil resources. Focusing on alleviating the above-mentioned naphtha deficit, this paper puts forward an idea suggesting that China＇s limited naphtha resource should be used reasonably. Naphtha feedstocks with more potential aromatic content should be used in catalytic reforming process to produce clean fuel products, and those feedstocks with more paraffinic content should be used in ethylene production. Meanwhile, industry tests show that the low-valued naphtha byproduct from ethylene plants and the products of secondary processing units at refineries can also be applied so as to extend the naphtha supply for manufacture of cleaner fuels and ethylene derivatives.展开更多

So it is significant to study optimal utilization of material resources of manufacturing system from the perspective of product design. This paper firstly defines concept of product design, then after an analysis of design objectives the author proposes a target system of product design with three subsystems: structural system, functional system, and technical system. Finally, a product design system on Architectural Metal Structure Enterprises is developed and used in light of the great consumption of material resources in Metal Structure Enterprises. The system has got an obvious effect on improving comprehensive optimal using rate of material resources of enterprises, reducing design cycle, improving management of enterprises.展开更多

The performance preferences and types of services in the information acquisition platform are analyzed as well as a comparison of the running time of services both in virtual node centralized and decentralized placing. All physical hosts are divided into different sub-clusters by using the analytic hierarchy process( AHP),in order to fit service of different performance preferences. In the sub-cluster,both load balance and quality of service are taken into account. Comparing with the heuristic algorithm,the experiment results show that the proposed placement strategy is running for a shorter time. And comparing with the virtual node placement strategy provided by OpenStack,the experiment results show that the proposed placement strategy can improve the execution speed of service in the information acquisition platform,and also can balance the load which improves resources utilization.展开更多
