Construction of Wrapped ρ-Labellings for RAID

The desire to speed up secondary storage systems has lead to the development of redundant arrays of independent disks （RAID） which incorporate redundancy utilizing erasure codes. A ＇cluttered ordering＇ is utilized for designing an effective writing order to a RAID system. Cohen, Colboum and Froncek （2001） gave a cyclic construction of cluttered orderings for the complete graph by utilizing the notion of a ＇wrapped p-labelling＇. Since wrapped p-labellings as cluttered orderings for the complete graph look such as ladders, they are also called as ladder orderings. Cohen and Colboum （2004） gave a characteristic of ladder orderings. In this paper, we give an algorithm in order to generate ladder orderings.

Identification of complex compliance for regenerator in thermoacoustic resonator system

In thermoacoustic system,the characteristic of complex compliance of a regenerator has a great influence on energy stored and dissipation of the whole engine.In order to investigate the performance of regenerators with different matrix geometries and materials coupled with different acoustic systems,an experimental measurement and analysis method was presented.By measuring the resonant frequency,the complex compliance and quality factor of five kinds of matrix were experimentally analyzed respectively in the system of loudspeaker-driven thermoacoustic resonator(TAR)with different lengths.The experimental results show that the real part of complex compliance of the regenerator with pin-array has a maximum value among the measured matrixes and its quality factor is the largest(28.222)with the least dissipation factor of 0.035 4.So the pin-array matrix is testified to behave more excellently on the energy conversion than other matrixes.Compared with other factors the complex compliance of a regenerator contributes more to the performance of a thermoacoustic system.

Return on Investment after Implementation of a Centralized Automated Storage System in a Hospital Pharmacy

An ADS （automated dispensing system） was implemented in our hospital pharmacy in 2008 to optimize and secure the medication process. The main objective of this study was to compare the projected and the real ROI （return on investment）, after seven years of use. ROI was calculated annually （from 2008 to 2015）, by deducting the cost of investment （ADS buying and implementation, maintenance, repairs and ADS upgrade） from the cost saving （drugs stock reduction and decrease of pharmacy staff dedicated to global dispensing）. In 2015, total costs saving （＋$1,141,987） were divided between decreasing drug stock value and reduction of pharmacy staff. Total costs of investment （-$978,656） were acquisition, maintenance, repairs and an unplanned upgrade costs. Finally, the real ROI was ＋$163,331 after seven years of use. In 2008, projected ROI was ＋$410,786. The real payback period has been increased by approximately two years （six years of use, instead of four years as expected）. Despite their cost, ADSs are a worthwhile investment, leading to a ROI within a few years. These economic considerations should be put into perspective with optimization of drugs stock management, greater efficiency of the global dispensing process, securitization of medication process and redeployment of pharmacy staff.

For development of passenger electrical transport, it is necessary to use energy more rationally. One of methods of vehicle power efficiency increase is installation of on-board energy storage systems. For studying of system operation, it is necessary to carry out a lot of experiments, therefore it is favorable to use the test bench and its computer model for reduction of the number of physical experiments.

Parameters at which the minimum losses of energy are observed are revealed. Dependence of energy storage system discharge power on the most admissible supercapacitor current is established.

Dptimizing Thermal Energy Storage Systems in the Hospitality Industry

Building energy analyses using forecasting optimization strategies are commonly used for predicting TES （thermal energy storage） system performance. These strategies produce perfect optimized cost savings and are not typically realized in the real world, unless a safety factor is applied. Rather than show how to improve the industry＇s ability to accurately model and simulate a true TES system design, this paper will show advanced building information strategies and energy management simulation techniques required to truly achieve the ideal optimized cost savings, determined from the TES energy simulation analysis. This paper uses the hospitality industry as a case study, showing the application of simulation and analytical modeling for an optimized partial TES system. As a result building energy managers can make better decisions through the entire building life cycle from the earliest concept model through operation and maintenance.

Investigations of Carbon Sequestration and Storage Using Advanced Geospatial Analysis

This research demonstrated quantitative methods of geospatial analysis applicable to carbon sequestration and storage in the conterminous United Sates. We identified national-scale NEP （net ecosystem production） changes for conversions to and from crop, and land in frequent conversion among forest, wetland, pasture and rangeland. The trend showed an increase in the margins of the Corn Belt states and coincided with land conversion from previous non-cropland to cropland in the United States. This research will not only improve the engineering understanding of carbon dioxide removal options involving the terrestrial biosphere, but will also inform decision-making in the carbon emission impacts. Therefore, it will provide a spatio-temporal reference for analyzing the national-level carbon exchange systems in the United States.

L_2 DISTURBANCE ATTENUATION FOR A CLASS OF TIME-DELAY HAMILTONIAN SYSTEMS

This paper considers the problem of L2-disturbance attenuation for a class of time-delay port-controlled Hamiltonian systems. A v-dissipative inequality is established by using a proper control law and a storage function. Then based on the Razumikhin stability theorem, a sufficient condition is proposed for the asymptotically stability of the closed-loop system. Finally, the authors investigate the case that there are time-invariant uncertainties belonging to some convex bounded polytypic domain and an L2 disturbance attenuation control law is proposed. Study of illustrative example with simulation shows that the presented method in this paper works very well in the disturbance attenuation of time-delay Hamiltonian systems.

Pegasus：a distributed and load-balancing fingerprint identification system

Fingerprint has been widely used in a variety of biometric identification systems in the past several years due to its uniqueness and immutability. With the rapid development of fingerprint identification techniques, many fingerprint identification systems are in urgent need to deal with large-scale fingerprint storage and high concurrent recognition queries, which bring huge challenges to the system. In this circumstance, we design and implement a distributed and load-balancing fingerprint identification system named Pegasus, which includes a distributed feature extraction subsystem and a distributed feature storage subsystem. The feature extraction procedure combines the Hadoop Image Processing Interface（HIPI） library to enhance its overall processing speed; the feature storage subsystem optimizes MongoD B＇s default load balance strategy to improve the efficiency and robustness of Pegasus.Experiments and simulations are carried out, and results show that Pegasus can reduce the time cost by 70% during the feature extraction procedure. Pegasus also balances the difference of access load among front-end mongos nodes to less than 5%. Additionally, Pegasus reduces over 40% of data migration among back-end data shards to obtain a more reasonable data distribution based on the operation load（insertion, deletion, update, and query） of each shard.
