Modular handover algorithm for 5G HetNets with comprehensive load index

Most existing handover decision system （HDS） designs are monolithic, resulting in high computational cost and unbalance of overall network. A novel modular handover algorithm with a comprehensive load index for the 5th generation （5G） heterogeneous networks （HetNets） is proposed. In this paper, the handover parameters, serving as the basis for handover, are classified into network＇s quality of service （QoS） module, user preference （UP） module and degree of satisfaction （DS） module according to the new modular HDS design. To optimize switching process, the comprehensive network load index is deduced by using triangle module fusion operator. With respect to the existing handover algorithm, the simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithm can reduce the handover frequency and maintain user satisfaction at a higher level. Meanwhile, due to its block calculation, it can bring about 1.4 s execution time improvement.

Research on cognitive load evaluation with subjective method in manual assembly

Subjective scales have different kinds of applicability in diverse fields.This study intends to implement a quantitative approach to determine the applicability of subjective scales in manual as-sembly work and evaluate the cognitive load of assembly workers.A multi-scale research paradigm based on subjective evaluation method is proposed.Three typical task stages are extracted from the process of assembly work.The National Aeronautics and Space Administration Task Load Index(NASA-TLX)scale,PAAS scale and Workload Profile Index Ratings(WP)scale are selected for the design of 3×3 multi-factor mixed experiment.The power spectrum density(PSD)characteris-tics of electroencephalogram(EEG)are utilized to identify the difficulty levels of the three task sta-ges.The relevant indicators of scale applicability are assessed.The results show that in terms of sensitivity,NASA-TLX scale reaches the highest sensitivity(F=999.137,P=0<0.05).In terms of validity,NASA-TLX scale possesses the best concurrent validity(P=0.0255<0.05).In terms of diagnosticity,NASA-TLX scale based on 6 dimensions takes on the best diagnostic performance.In terms of subject acceptability,WP scale performs the worst.According to the analytic hierarchy process(AHP)model,the applicability scores of NASA-TLX scale,PAAS scale and WP scale are determined as 3,2.55 and 1.6714,respectively.Therefore,NASA-TLX scale is regarded as the most suitable subjective evaluation questionnaire for assembly workers,which is also an effective quantitative evaluation method for the cognitive load of assembly workers.

Glycemic index,glycemic load and insulinemic index of Chinese starchy foods

AIM:To determine the glycemic index(GI),glycemic load(GL)and insulinemic index(Ⅱ)of five starchy foods that are commonly used in Chinese diets.METHODS:Ten healthy subjects aged between 20-30 years were recruited.Each subject was asked to consume 50 g of available carbohydrate portions of test foods and reference food.Finger capillary blood samples were collected at the start of eating and 15,30,45,60,90 and 120 min after consumption.The GI and Ⅱ of foods were calculated from the ratio of incremental area under the glucose/insulin response curves of test and reference foods.The GL for each test food was determined from its GI value and carbohydrate content.RESULTS:The results showed that brown rice elicited the highest postprandial glucose and insulin responses,followed by taro,adlay,yam and mung bean noodles,which produced the lowest.Among the five starchy foods,brown rice evoked the highest GI and GL at 82±0.2 and 18±0.2,followed by taro(69±0.4,12±0.2),adlay(55±0.4,10±0.2),yam(52±0.3,9±0.0)and mung bean noodles(28±0.5,7±0.2),respectively.The Ⅱ values of the test foods corresponded with GI values.Similarly,brown rice gave the highest Ⅱ at 81±0.1,followed by taro(73±0.3),adlay(67±0.3),yam(64±0.5) and mung bean noodles(38±0.3).All five starchy foods had lower GI,GL and Ⅱ than reference bread(P<0.05).CONCLUSION:The GI,GL and Ⅱ values of starchy foods provide important information for the public to manage their diet and could be useful for the prevention of lifestyle-related diseases such as diabetes mellitus.

Glycemic index and glycemic load of selected Chinese traditional foods

AIM:To determine the glycemic index(GI)and glycemic load(GL)values of Chinese traditional foods in Hong Kong.METHODS:Fifteen healthy subjects(8 males and 7 females)volunteered to consume either glucose or one of 23 test foods after 10-14 h overnight fast.The blood glucose concentrations were analyzed immediately before,15,30,45,60,90 and 120 min after food consumption using capillary blood samples.The GI value of each test food was calculated by expressing the incremental area under the blood glucose response curve(IAUC)value for the test food as a percentage of each subject's average IAUC value for the glucose.The GL value of each test food was calculated as the GI value of the food multiplied by the amount of the available carbohydrate in a usual portion size,divided by 100.RESULTS:Among all the 23 Chinese traditional foods tested,6 of them belonged to low GI foods(Tuna Fish Bun,Egg Tart,Green Bean Dessert,Chinese Herbal Jelly,Fried Rice Vermicelli in Singapore-style,and Spring Roll),10 of them belonged to moderate GI foods(Baked Barbecued Pork Puff,Fried Fritter,"Mai-Lai"Cake,"Pineapple"Bun,Fried Rice Noodles with Sliced Beef,Barbecue Pork Bun,Moon Cakes,Glutinous Rice Ball,Instant Sweet Milky Bun,and Salted Meat Rice Dumpling),the others belonged to high GI foods(Fried Rice in Yangzhou-Style,Sticky Rice Wrapped in Lotus Leaf,Steamed Glutinous Rice Roll,Jam and Peanut Butter Toast,Plain Steamed Vermicelli Roll,Red Bean Dessert,and Frozen Sweet Milky Bun).CONCLUSION:The GI and GL values for these Chinese traditional foods will provide some valuable information to both researchers and public on their food preference.

Glycemic Index, Glycemic Load, and Glycemic Response to Pomelo in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes

Food intake has a great influence on blood glucose in patients with diabetes. This study was to determine the glycemic index（GI） and glycemic load（GL） of a particular pomelo named Majia pomelo and its effects on postprandial glucose（PPG） in patients with type 2 diabetes（T2D）. Twenty healthy subjects and 20 T2D patients（controlled on lifestyle measures and/or metformin） were tested on 2 separate days with 50 g of glucose and 50 g equivalent of carbohydrates from Majia pomelo for GI measurement. To test effects of Majia pomelo on PPG, 19 hospitalized T2D patients（controlled on insulin therapy） were selected for a 9-day study. The dose of insulin for each patient was adjusted on the first 3 days. A total of 100 g Majia pomelo was consumed per meal in the last 3 tested days. Blood glucose was measured to evaluate the glycemic excursions. The GIs for Majia pomelo in healthy individuals and T2D patients were 78.34±1.88 and 72.15±1.95 respectively. The value of GL was as low as 4.23 in diabetic patients with serving size of 100 g pomelo, indicting Majia pomelo as a high GI but low GL fruit. Consumption of Majia pomelo in hospitalized T2D patients did not cause significant glucose fluctuation. It was concluded that high GI pomelo can serve as a low GL fruit if it is consumed with a limited daily amount and thus can be supplied to diabetic patients. These results may mean more varieties of food choices for T2D patients.

Utilizing Stability Index Tracing for Precise Load Buses Identification in Load Shedding Problem

This paper proposes a new approach for suitable load buses identification via stability index tracing in performing corrective load shedding. The proposed identification technique is called the Fast Voltage Stability Index Load Tracing (FVSI-LT). By implementing a power tracing algorithm, a group of major contributors on the stress experienced by a power system is able to be precisely identified by a system operator (SO) based on the traced values of FVSI. To be precise, the traced FVSI via FVSI-LT can be used to form a ranking list indicating the priority of buses committed for shedding purpose. After designing a Fuzzy Inference System (FIS) for deciding the allowable load powers to be shed and performing experiment on IEEE 57-Bus reliability test system (RTS), it is revealed that the ranking list provided by FVSI-LT results to the most consistent improvement in terms of voltage stability and losses minimization.

Simulating of marble subjected to uni-axial loading using index-parabola damage model

The limitations of several existing classical rock damage models were critically appraised. Thereafter, a description of a new model to estimate the response of rock was provided. The results of an investigation lead to the development and confirmation of a new index parabola damage model. The new model is divided into two parts, fictitious damage and real damage and bordered by the critical damage point. In fictitious damage, the damage variable follows the index distribution, while in the real damage a parabolic distribution is used. Thus, the so called index parabola damage model is derived. The proposed damage model is applied to simulate the damage procedure of marble under uni axial loading. The results of the tests show that the proposed model is in excellent agreement with experimental data, in particular the nonlinear characteristic of rock deformation is adequately represented. [
