The optimized 12 channel parallel optical transmitter,with each channel's data rate up to 3Gbit/s,is designed, assembled, and measured. A top-emitting 850nm vertical cavity surface emitting laser(VCSEL) array is adopted as the light source,and the VCSEL chip is directly wire bonded to a 12 channel driver IC. The outputs of the VCSEL array are directly butt coupled into a 12 channel fiber array. Small form factor pluggable (SFP) packaging technology is used in the module to support hot pluggable in application. The performance results of the module are demonstrated. At an operating current of 8mA, an eye diagram at 3Gbit/s is achieved with an optical output of more than 1mW.展开更多

This paper introduces the overall structure of RC@ SEU ( regional center @ Southeast University) in AMS (alpha magnetic spectrometer)-02 ground data transfer system as well as the experiments conducted in CERNET (China Education and Research Network)/CERNET2 and global academic Internet. The effects of the number of parallel streams and TCP buffer size are tested. The test confirms that in the current circumstance of CERNET, to find the fight number of parallel TCP connections is the main method to improve the throughput. TCP buffer size tuning has little effect now, but may have good effects when the available bandwidth becomes higher.展开更多

The total positive rate was 46.2% (12/26). HBsAg and HBcAg were positive in 6 (23.1%) of the 26 patients. Brown positive particles were diffusely distributed in ovarian cells. The positive rate of HBV DNA was 58.3% (7/12).CONCLUSION: HBsAg, HBcAg, and HBV DNA can be detected in ovarian tissues from patients with HBV infection. The presence of HBsAg and HBcAg in ovarian tissues does not correlate with the HBV markers in serum.展开更多

Resolution of chronic HCV infection in the absence of treatment is a rare occurrence. We report the case of a 39-year old white male with a 17-year history of chronic HCV infection, who eradicated HCV following a serious illness due to co-infection with Babesia (babesiosis), Borriela Borgdorferi (Lyme disease) and Ehrlichia (human granulocytic ehrlichiosis). We hypothesize that the cellular immune response mounted by this patient in response to his infection with all three agents but in particular Babesia was suffi cient to eradicate HCV.展开更多

And the multipopulation genetic algorithm (MPGA) based on real coding that can contemporarily process the data of free running model and simulation of ship maneuvering was applied to solve the problem. Accordingly the optimal individual was obtained using the method of genetic algorithm. The parallel processing of multiopulation solved the prematurity in the identification for single population, meanwhile, the parallel processing of the data of ship maneuvering (turning motion and zigzag motion) is an attempt to solve the coefficient drift problem. In order to validate the method, the interaction force coefficients were verified by the procedure and these coefficients measured were compared with those ones identified. The maximum error is less than 5%, and the identification is an effective method.展开更多

The cement-based piezoelectric sensor of this kind is mainly used in concrete structure due to its compatibility with concrete, and the encapsulation method of its sensing element is important to the effectiveness and accuracy of the transfer of the stress from concrete to the sensing element. The sensor′s measurement error of the previous encapsulation method, which was induced by the area of the encapsulation material and the inherent difference of Young′s modulus between cement and encapsulation material, was analyzed theoretically using parallel model. In the improved method, the error is minimized by decreasing the area of the encapsulation material and changing the configuration of the cement and piezoelectric material in the sensor. Two sensors made by the previous and improved methods were embedded in two prisms respectively and the prisms were compressed on Material Test System. Through the comparison of the measurement errors of the two sensors, the improved method was evaluated. The test results show that the improved encapsulation method is effective and feasible.展开更多

In this paper, the problem is examined by analyzing the distribution of server-like nodes' upstream-bandwidth among their concurrent transfers. A sufficient condition for the service rate, what a receiver obtains for downloading a file, to asymptotically be uniform is presented. On the aggregate service rate for transferring a file in a system, a sufficient condition for it to asymptotically follow a Zipf distribution is presented. These asymptotic equalities are both in the mean square sense. These analyses and the sufficient conditions provide a mathematic base for modeling file transfer processes in peer-to-peer file sharing systems.展开更多

It is based on one-terminal voltage and current data. The loop and nodal equations comparing faulted phase to non-faulted phase of two-parallel lines are introduced in the fault location estimation model, in which the source impedance of a remote end is not involved. The effects of load flow and fault resistance on the accuracy of fault location are effectively eliminated, therefore a precise algorithm of locating fault is derived. The algorithm is demonstrated by digital computer simulations.展开更多

In this paper, we present a ring signature scheme designed for WSNs. In this scheme, all of the wireless sensor nodes are divided into several sub-groups and the sub-group nodes are used to generate the signature instead of the WSN cluster nodes. This scheme can effectively avoid the single node failure problem, and it also has a high availability. All nodes are flee to sign their own message, and the nodes that generate signatures can simultaneously calculate their own part of the signature, meeting the distributed parallel computing requirements. Compared with the traditional ring signature, this scheme reduces the energy consumption, and therefore is very suitable for WSNs.展开更多

Analysis reveals that consistent operating conditions and experimental procedure are of critical significance for minimizing the terminal effect of drop coalescence on the accuracy of mass transfer measurements. The novel design of a totally-closed extraction column is proposed for this purpose, which guarantees that the volumetric rate of drop phase injection is exactly equal to that of withdrawal of drops. Tests in two extraction systems demonstrate that the experimental repeatability is improved greatly and the terminal effect of mass transfer during drop coalescence is brought well under control.展开更多

This letter takes the decrease of the communication costs as the key to this problem and advances a new Migration Scheme based on Schema Theorem (MSST). MSST distills schemata from the populations and then proportionately disseminates them to other populations, which decreases the total communication cost among the populations and arms the multiple-population model with higher speed and better scalability.展开更多
