Lazy loading algorithm for traffic assignment of road networks under fixed charge condition

The measures of path charge are important considerations in traffic assignment of road networks. Factors, such as travel time, fixed charge and traffic congestion which affect road users＇ choices of trip paths, are analyzed. Travelers usually decide their trip paths based on their personal habits, preferences and the information at hand. By considering both deterministic and stochastic factors which affect the value of time （VOT） during the process of path choosing, a variational inequality model is proposed to describe the problem of traffic assignment. A lazy loading algorithm for traffic assignment is designed to solve the proposed model, and the calculation steps are given. Numerical experiment results show that compared with the all-or-nothing assignment, the proposed model and the algorithm can provide more optimal traffic assignments for road networks. The results of this study can be used to optimize traffic planning and management.

A Heuristic Method for Two-sided Assembly Line Balancing Problem

A two-sided assembly line is typically found in plants producing large-sized products. Its advantages over a one-sided line and the difficulties faced in two-sided line balancing problems were discussed. A mathematical model for two-ALB problem was suggested. A modification of the “ranked positional weight” method, namely two-ALB RPW for two-ALB problems was developed. Experiments were carried out to verify the performance of the proposed method and the results show that it is effective in solving two-sided assembly line balancing problems.

Understanding the effect of elliptical polarization in surface nuclear magnetic resonance method

Currently, surface nuclear magnetic resonance （SNMR） method is the only geophysical method that detects groundwater directly. In this paper, we investigate the effect of elliptical polarization in the perpendicular excitation magnetic field. The effect of elliptical polarization is clearly visible in our ellipticity calculation and it can cause strong distortion to the excitation field in the presence of high subsurface conductivities. By examining the co-rotating and counter-rotating components of the field, we show that elliptical polarization affects transmitting and receiving processes differently and that a clear phase lag exists between transmitter loop and receiver loop. Finally, we derive the response function of coincident loops and calculate proton tip angles, the kernel function and SNMR response curves of a 1D aquifer model. Based on the simulations, we conclude that the elliptical polarization and phase lag can significantly affect SNMR response and it is essential to include elliptical polarization in SNMR modeling and data interpretation.

IMC-PID tuning method based on sensitivity specification for process with time-delay

To overcome the deficiencies addressed in the conventional PID control and improve the dynamic performance and robustness of the system, a simple design and parameters tuning approach of internal model control-PID （IMC-PID） controller was proposed for the first order plus time-delay （FOPTD） process and the second order plus time-delay （SOPTD） process. By approximating the time-delay term of the process model with the first-order Taylor series, the expressions for IMC-PID controller parameters were derived, and they had only one adjustable parameter 2 which was directly related to the dynamic performance and robustness of the system. Moreover, an analytical approach of selecting 2 was given based on the maximum sensitivity Ms. Then, the robust tuning of the system could be achieved according to the value of Ms. In addition, the proposed method could be extended to the integrator plus time-delay （IPTD） process and the first order delay integrating （FODI） process. Simulation studies were carried out on various processes with time-delay, and the results show that the proposed method could provide a better dynamic performance of both the set-point tracking and disturbance rejection and robustness against parameters perturbation.

Congestion aware routing algorithm for delay-disruption tolerance networks

There were many contradictory evaluation criteria to select next-hop in the delay-disruption tolerance networks(DTN).To solve this problem,an attribute hierarchical model was proposed,in which the predefined criteria were summarized as static identity attributes,forwarding desire attributes and delivery capability attributes(IDC).Based on this model,a novel multi-attributes congestion aware routing(MACAR) scheme with uncertain information for next-hop selection was presented,by adopting an decision theory to aggregate attributes with belief structure and computing partial ordering relations.The simulation results show that MACAR presents higher successful delivery rate,lower average delay and effectively alleviate congestion.

Adaptive clustering hierarchy routing for delay tolerant network

Adaptive clustering hierarchy routing(ACHR) establishes a clusters-based hierarchical hybrid routing algorithm with two-hop local visibility for delay tolerant network(DTN).The major contribution of ACHR is the combination of single copy scheme and multi-copy scheme and the combination of hop-by-hop and multi-hop mechanism ACHR,which has the advantages in simplicity,availability and well-expansibility.The result shows that it can take advantage of the random communication opportunities and local network connectivity,and achieves 1.6 times delivery ratio and 60% overhead compared with its counterpart.

An Improved Fuzzy Predictive Control Algorithm and Its Application to an Industrial CSTR Process

A finite horizon predictive control algorithm, which applies a saturated feedback control law as its local control law, is presented for nonlinear systems with time-delay subject to input constraints. In the algorithm, N free control moves, a saturated local control law and the terminal weighting matrices are solved by a minimization problem based on linear matrix inequality （LMI） constraints online. Compared with the algorithm with a nonsaturated local law, the presented algorithm improves the performances of the closed-loop systems such as feasibility and optimality. This model predictive control （MPC） algorithm is applied to an industrial continuous stirred tank reactor （CSTR） with explicit input constraint. The simulation results demonstrate that the presented algorithm is effective.

Using multi-threads to hide deduplication I/O latency with low synchronization overhead

Data deduplication, as a compression method, has been widely used in most backup systems to improve bandwidth and space efficiency. As data exploded to be backed up, two main challenges in data deduplication are the CPU-intensive chunking and hashing works and the I/0 intensive disk-index access latency. However, CPU-intensive works have been vastly parallelized and speeded up by multi-core and many-core processors; the I/0 latency is likely becoming the bottleneck in data deduplication. To alleviate the challenge of I/0 latency in multi-core systems, multi-threaded deduplication （Multi-Dedup） architecture was proposed. The main idea of Multi-Dedup was using parallel deduplication threads to hide the I/0 latency. A prefix based concurrent index was designed to maintain the internal consistency of the deduplication index with low synchronization overhead. On the other hand, a collisionless cache array was also designed to preserve locality and similarity within the parallel threads. In various real-world datasets experiments, Multi-Dedup achieves 3-5 times performance improvements incorporating with locality-based ChunkStash and local-similarity based SiLo methods. In addition, Multi-Dedup has dramatically decreased the synchronization overhead and achieves 1.5-2 times performance improvements comparing to traditional lock-based synchronization methods.

A new wide area damping controller design method considering signal transmission delay to damp interarea oscillations in power system

Wide area damping controller(WADC) is usually utilized to damp interarea low frequency oscillation in power system. However, conventional WADC design method neglects the influence of signal transmission delay and damping performance of WADC designed by the conventional method may deteriorate or even has no effect when signal transmission delay is beyond delay margin, an index that denotes delay endurance degree of power system. Therefore, a new design method for WADC under the condition of expected damping factor and required signal transmission delay is presented in this work. An improved delay margin with less conservatism is derived by adopting a new Lyapunov-Krasovskii function and more compact bounding technique on the derivative of Lyapunov-Krasovskii functional. The improved delay margin, which constructs the correlation of damping factor and signal transmission delay, can be used to design WADC. WADC designed by the proposed method can ensure that power system satisfies expected damping factor when WADC input signal is delayed within delay margin. Satisfactory test results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method.

Coefficient of retardation time found out by polynomial fitting to predict creep behaviour of polystyrene

The universal creep function is successful in relating the creep （ε） to the ageing time （ta）, coefficient of retardation time （β）, and intrinsic time （t0）. The relation was used to treat the creep experimental data for polystyrene （PS） specimens at a given aged time and different stress levels. Comparing with “middle-point” method reported in the literatures, β is found out by another method “polynomial fitting” in this work. Then unified master lines were constructed with the treated data and curves according to the universal equation. The master lines can be used to predict the long-term creep behaviour and lifetime by extrapolating to a required ultimate strain.

An Ant Colony Algorithm Based on Cross-Layer Design for Routing and Wavelength Assignment in Optical Satellite Networks

This paper introduces an ant colony routing and wavelength assignment algorithm based on cross-layer design(CL-ACRWA),which can overcome the adverse effects of Doppler wavelength shift on data transmission in optical satellite networks. Firstly, a cross-layer optimization model is built, which considers the Doppler wavelength shift, the transmission delay as well as wavelength-continuity constraint. Then an ant colony algorithm is utilized to solve the cross-layer optimization model, resulting in finding an optimal light path satisfying the above constraints for every connection request. The performance of CL-ACRWA is measured by the communication success probability, the convergence property and the transmission delay. Simulation results show that CL-ACRWA performs well in communication success probability and has good global search ability as well as fast convergence speed. Meanwhile, the transmission delay can meet the basic requirement of real-time transmission of business.

Effect of car-body lower-center rolling on aerodynamic performance of a high-speed train

The interaction between the car-body vibration and aerodynamic performance of the train becomes more prominent motivated by the vehicle’s light-weighting design.To address this topic,this study firstly analyzes the posture characteristics of the car-body based on the previous full-scale test results.And then the aerodynamic performance under different vibration cases(different car-body roll angles)is studied with an improved delayed detached eddy simulation(IDDES).The results revealed that car-body rolling had a significant impact on the aerodynamic behavior of bogies,which significantly increased the lateral force and yaw moment of a bogie and further may have aggravated the operational instability of the train.The unbalanced distribution of the longitudinal pressure on both sides of the bogie caused by the car-body rolling motion was the primary cause for the bogie yaw moment increase.The tail vortex of the train was also affected by the car-body rolling,resulting in vertical jitter.

A Location-Based Content Search Approach in Hybrid Delay Tolerant Networks

In Delay Tolerant Networks （DTNs）, the offiine users can, through the encountering nodes, use the specific peer-to-peer message routing approach to deliver messages to the destination. Thus, it solves the problem that users have the demands to deliver messages while they are temporarily not able to connect to the Internet. Therefore, by the characteristics of DTNs, people who are not online can still query some location based information, with the help of users using the same service in the nearby area. In this paper, we proposed a location-based content search approach. Based on the concept of three-tier area and hybrid node types, we presented four strategies to solve the query problem, namely, Data Replication, Query Replication, Data Reply, and Data Synchronization strategies. Especially we proposed a Message Queue Selection algorithm for message transferring. The priority concept is set associated with every message such that the most ＂important＂ one could be sent first. In this way, it can increase the query success ratio and reduce the query delay time. Finally, we evaluated our approach, and compared with other routing schemes. The simulation results showed that our proposed approach had better query efficiency and shorter delay.

A routing algorithm for industrial wireless network based on ISA100.11a

ISA100.11 a industrial wireless network standard is based on a deterministic scheduling mechanism.For the timeslot delay caused by deterministic scheduling,a routing algorithm is presented for industrial environments.According to timeslot,superframe,links,channel and data retransmission of deterministic scheduling mechanisms that affect the design of the routing algorithm,the algorithm selects the link quality,timeslot delay and retransmission delay as the routing criteria and finds the optimum communication path by k shortest paths algorithm.Theoretical analysis and experimental verification show that the optimal paths selected by the algorithm not only have high link quality and low retransmission delay,but also meet the requirements of the deterministic scheduling.The algorithm can effectively solve the problem of packet loss and transmission delay during data transmission,and provide a valuable solution for efficient data transmission based on determinacy.

Low latency systolic multipliers for finite field GF（2m） based on irreducible polynomials

Systolic implementation of multiplication over GF(2m) is usually very efficient in area-time complexity,but its latency is usually very large.Thus,two low latency systolic multipliers over GF(2m) based on general irreducible polynomials and irreducible pentanomials are presented.First,a signal flow graph(SFG) is used to represent the algorithm for multiplication over GF(2m).Then,the two low latency systolic structures for multiplications over GF(2m) based on general irreducible polynomials and pentanomials are presented from the SFG by suitable cut-set retiming,respectively.Analysis indicates that the proposed two low latency designs involve at least one-third less area-delay product when compared with the existing designs,To the authors' knowledge,the time-complexity of the structures is the lowest found in literature for systolic GF(2m) multipliers based on general irreducible polynomials and pentanomials.The proposed low latency designs are regular and modular,and therefore they are suitable for many time critical applications.

Nonlinear characteristics and functional analysis of masseter electromyography

The C-C method was adopted to analyze the nonlinear characteristics of masseter electromyography （EMG） signals and the chaotic degree by the largest Lyapunov exponent （LLE） of different genders and sides. First, the embedding dimension and the delay time were obtained through this method, then the phase space was reconstructed to resume the chaotie attractor and determine the LLE. The result shows that the trajectory of attractor is denser than Chen＇s attractor, and the LLE is positive, which means that not only the signal has the character of chaos, but also the chaotic degree of masseter EMG is relatively high. According to the value of the LLE, the chaotic degree of men＇s masseter EMG is higher than that of women＇s; when the dentition is normal, the chaotic degree of two sides is almost the same. Then, a conclusion can be deduced that if the LLE of both sides are in great difference, the unilateral mastication is likely to exist, which means that the nonlinear characteristics of masseter EMG can be applied to predict the unilateral mastication.
