Discussion on the Design of E-commerce Automatic Operation Module

E-commerce refers to a kind of business and trade activities, which are conducted under the situation that buyers and sellers do not meet each other by using a fast, easy and low-cost way. Along with the promotion and application of computer office automation, it is necessary for e-commerce module to develop towards automation, in which the core lies in making a good design for operation module. In this paper, the promotion of e-commerce in the information age is reviewed by the authors, the unique characteristics of e-commerce functional modules are analyzed, and also the most important point of the design of e-commerce automatic operation module is discussed. Hopefully, helps can be provided for relevant follow-up studies in the future.

RPL Based on Triangle Module Operator for AMI Networks

the routing protocol for low-power and lossy networks(RPL) has been used in advanced metering infrastructure(AMI)which could provide two-way communication between smart meters and city utilities.To improve the network performance of AMI networks, this paper proposed an improved algorithm of RPL based on triangle module operator(IAR-TMO). IAR-TMO proposes membership functions of the following five typical routing metrics: end-to-end delay, number of hops, expected transmission count(ETX),node remaining energy, and child node count.Moreover, IAR-TMO uses triangle module operator to fuse membership functions of these routing metrics. Then, IAR-TMO selects preferred parents(the next hop) based on the triangle module operator. Theoretical analysis and simulation results show that IAR-TMO has a great improvement when compared with two recent representative algorithms: ETXOF(ETX Objective Function) and OF-FL(Objective Function based on Fuzzy Logic), in terms of network lifetime, average end-to-end delay,etc. Consequently, the network performances of AMI networks can be improved effectively.

A new instrument for checking the quality of elevator guide rails is introduced.With this instrument,the general geometric errors such as straightness,flatness,squareness,twist,thickness and height can be measured automatically,simultaneously in a short time with high accuracy.It is very useful for elevator guide rail factories to improve their work efficiency and the quality of their products.

A novel context-aware RPL algorithm based on a triangle module operator

For the use in low-power and lossy networks(LLNs)under complex and harsh communication conditions,the routing protocol for LLNs(RPL)standardized by the Internet Engineering Task Force is specially designed.To improve the performance of LLNs,we propose a novel context-aware RPL algorithm based on a triangle module operator(CAR-TMO).A novel composite context-aware routing metric(CA-RM)is designed,which synchronously evaluates the residual energy index,buffer occupancy ratio of a node,expected transmission count(ETX),delay,and hop count from a candidate parent to the root.CA-RM considers the residual energy index and buffer occupancy ratio of the candidate parent and its preferred parent in a recursive manner to reduce the effect of upstream parents,since farther paths are considered.CA-RM comprehensively uses the sum,mean,and standard deviation values of ETX and delay of links in a path to ensure a better performance.Moreover,in CAR-TMO,the membership function of each routing metric is designed.Then,a comprehensive membership function is constructed based on a triangle module operator,the membership function of each routing metric,and a comprehensive context-aware objective function.A novel mechanism for calculating the node rank and the mechanisms for preferred parent selection are proposed.Finally,theoretical analysis and simulation results show that CAR-TMO outperforms several state-of-the-art RPL algorithms in terms of the packet delivery ratio and energy efficiency.

Multiple multicontrol unitary operations: Implementation and applications

The efficient implementation of computational tasks is critical to quantum computations. In quantum circuits, multicontrol unitary operations are important components. Here, we present an extremely efficient and direct approach to multiple multicontrol unitary operations without decomposition to CNOT and single-photon gates. With the proposed approach, the necessary twophoton operations could be reduced from O(n^3) with the traditional decomposition approach to O(n), which will greatly relax the requirements and make large-scale quantum computation feasible. Moreover, we propose the potential application to the(n-k)-uniform hypergraph state.

Fouling distribution in forward osmosis membrane process

Fouling behavior along the length of membrane module was systematically investigated by performing simple modeling and lab-scale experiments of forward osmosis （FO） membrane process. The flux distribution model developed in this study showed a good agreement with experimental results, validating the robustness of the model. This model demonstrated, as expected, that the permeate flux decreased along the membrane channel due to decreasing osmotic pressure differential across the FO membrane. A series of fouling experiments were conducted under the draw and feed solutions at various recoveries simulated by the model. The simulated fouling experiments revealed that higher organic （alginate） fouling and thus more flux decline were observed at the last section of a membrane channel, as foulants in feed solution became more concentrated. Furthermore, the water flux in FO process declined more severely as the recovery increased due to more foulants transported to membrane surface with elevated solute concentrations at higher recovery, which created favorable solution environments for organic adsorption. The fouling reversibility also decreased at the last section of the membrane channel, suggesting that fouling distribution on FO membrane along the module should be carefully examined to improve overall cleaning efficiency. Lastly, it was found that such fouling distribution observed with co-current flow operation became less pronounced in counter- current flow operation of FO membrane process.
