TD-SCDMA Networking Strategy with Interference Between Indoor and Outdoor Networks

The High Speed Downlink Packet Access (HSDPA) technology is employed for the data service in the Time Division Synchronous Code Division Multiple Access (TD-SCDMA) mobile communication system.Theoretically,the HSDPA peak data throughput per Time Slot (TS) available in the terminals reaches 560kb/s.Since the data service often occurs indoors,flexible TS allocation between uplink and downlink is applied in TD-SCDMA networking.That is,TS1 and TS2 are uplink time slots and TS3,TS4,TS5 and TS6 are downlink time slots in the indoor cell;and symmetry TS allocation is made for the outdoor cell.In the intra-frequency cell network,it can cause intra-frequency interference between cells.So the research on the intra-frequency crossed time slots interference is done and the suggestions on the intra-frequency crossed time slots networking strategy are proposed in this paper.

Evolutionary Games in Two-Layer Networks with the Introduction of Dominant Strategy

We study evolutionary games in two-layer networks by introducing the correlation between two layers through the C-dominance or the D-dominance. We assume that individuals play prisoner＇s dilemma game （PDG） in one layer and snowdrift game （SDG） in the other. We explore the dependences of the fraction of the strategy cooperation in different layers on the game parameter and initial conditions. The results on two-layer square lattices show that, when cooperation is the dominant strategy, initial conditions strongly influence cooperation in the PDG layer while have no impact in the SDG layer. Moreover, in contrast to the result for PDG in single-layer square lattices, the parameter regime where cooperation could be maintained expands significantly in the PDG layer. We also investigate the effects of mutation and network topology. We find that different mutation rates do not change the cooperation behaviors. Moreover, similar behaviors on cooperation could be found in two-layer random networks.

Estimation method for a skip-stop operation strategy for urban rail transit in China

The skip-stop operation strategy （SOS） is rarely applied to Chinese urban rail transit networks because it is a simple scheme and a less universally popular transportation service. However, the SOS has performance advantages, in that the total trip time can be reduced depending on the number of skipped stations, crowds of passengers can be rapidly evacuated at congested stations in peak periods, and the cost to transit companies is reduced. There is a contradiction between reducing the trip time under the SOS and increasing the passengers＇ waiting times under an all-stop scheme. Given this situation, the three objectives of our study were to minimize the waiting and trip times of all passengers and the travel times of trains. A comprehensive estimation model is presented for the SOS. The mechanism through which the trip time for all passengers is affected by the SOS is analyzed in detail. A 0-I integer programming formulation is established for the three objectives, and is solved using a tabu search algorithm. Finally, an example is presented to demonstrate that the estimation method for the SOS is capable of optimizing the timetable and operation schemes for a Chinese urban rail transit network.

Integration strategies of hydrogen network in a refinery based on operational optimization of hydrotreating units

Inferior crude oil and fuel oil upgrading lead to escalating increase of hydrogen consumption in refineries.It is imperative to reduce the hydrogen consumption for energy-saving operations of refineries.An integration strategy of hydrogen network and an operational optimization model of hydrotreating(HDT)units are proposed based on the characteristics of reaction kinetics of HDT units.By solving the proposed model,the operating conditions of HDT units are optimized,and the parameters of hydrogen sinks are determined by coupling hydrodesulfurization(HDS),hydrodenitrification(HDN)and aromatic hydrogenation(HDA)kinetics.An example case of a refinery with annual processing capacity of eight million tons is adopted to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed optimization strategies and the model.Results show that HDS,HDN and HDA reactions are the major source of hydrogen consumption in the refinery.The total hydrogen consumption can be reduced by 18.9%by applying conventional hydrogen network optimization model.When the hydrogen network is optimized after the operational optimization of HDT units is performed,the hydrogen consumption is reduced by28.2%.When the benefit of the fuel gas recovery is further considered,the total annual cost of hydrogen network can be reduced by 3.21×10~7CNY·a^(-1),decreased by 11.9%.Therefore,the operational optimization of the HDT units in refineries should be imposed to determine the parameters of hydrogen sinks base on the characteristics of reaction kinetics of the hydrogenation processes before the optimization of the hydrogen network is performed through the source-sink matching methods.

Applying systematic conservation planning to constitute a protection strategy for broad-leaved Korean pine forests in Changbai Mountains, China

The broad-leaved Korean pine(Pinus koraiensis) forest is one of the most biodiverse zonal communities in the North Temperate Zone and an important habitat for many endangered species.Broad-leaved Korean pine forests(BKPFs) are shrinking quickly due to deforestation and rapid urbanization. Thus, scientific protection strategies are urgently needed to change this status. Changbai Mountains contains one of the largest BKPFs and is considered a priority biodiversity conservation area in China. Guided by systematic conservation planning(SCP) methods and procedures, we chose representative species and communities in BKPFs ecosystem as priority conservation objects, and set quantitative conservation target, which is in the light of the biodiversity characteristic of BKPFs. The watershed area is used as planning unit. We used CPlan software to calculate the irreplaceability(Ir)value of each planning unit and the contribution value(Ti) of each conservation object to(1) assess the conservation efficiency;(2) identify the conservation gap of the existing conservation network. Then wecalculated a human disturbance index(HDI) for planning units in the conservation gaps and combine this with the Ir value to design three conservation scenarios to optimize the conservation network.Results show that planning units with high conservation value 14.16% of the total area, with3084.36 km2 were covered by the existing conservation network. 79.28% of planning units with high conservation value have not been protected which were concentrated mainly in the eight gap areas.Only 25.3% of protection objects achieved their conservation target with the existing conservation network. Conservation efficiency is low. Three conservation scenarios are constituted, each prioritizing a different aim:(1) ecological value;(2)species rescue; and(3) economical avoidance. The three conservation schemes potentially enable 93%,88% and 51% of conservation objects, respectively, to achieve identified conservation targets, thereby improving conservation efficiency significantly.

Background:Yanhusuo powder,also known as Xuanhusuo powder,is a long-standing Chinese herbal formula mainly used in the treatment of osteoarthritis.Although the clinical effectiveness of Yanhusuo powder has long been acknowledged,its mechanism of action and bioactive components remain unknown.Methods:A novel analytical method combining the use of ultra-performance liquid chromatography coupled with quadrupole time-of-flight mass spectrometry and ultra-performance liquid chromatography-triple quadrupole mass spectrometry was applied to profile the formula and absorbed prototype components in plasma after oral administration of Yanhusuo powder.Then,the absorbed constituents were subjected to network pharmacology to predict targets and pathways.AutoDock software was then used for molecular docking studies to screen for potential pharmacodynamic substances.Results:A total of 34 in vitro formula components and 20 in vivo prototype compounds from the various relevant species were successfully separated and identified for the first time.Compound-target-pathway analysis revealed that 20 absorbed constituents,42 target genes and 42 pathways are probably related to the efficacy of Yanhusuo powder against osteoarthritis.The efficacy of Yanhusuo powder mainly involves AKT1,fibronectin 1 and matrix metalloproteinase 9 targets and apoptosis,as well as PI3K-AKT and mitogen-activated protein kinases signaling pathways.According to the results of the molecular docking studies,it can be preliminarily judged that protopine,dehydrocorybulbine and angelicin may be the pharmacologically active substances of Yanhusuo powder.Conclusion:The results provide a scientific basis for understanding the bioactive compounds and the pharmacological mechanism of Yanhusuo powder.

Reliability Strategies for Data Transmission in Wireless Mesh Network

Wireless Mesh Network (WMN) is a new-type wireless network. Its core idea is that any of its wireless equipment can act as both an Access Point (AP) and a router. Each node in the network can send and receive signals as well as directly communicate with one or several peer nodes. One important issue to be considered in wireless Mesh networks is how to secure reliable data transmission in multi-hop links. To solve the problem, the 3GPP system architecture proposes two functionalities: ARQ and HARQ. This paper presents two HARQ schemes, namely hop-by-hop and edge-to-edge, and three ARQ schemes: hop-by-hop, edge-to-edge, and last-hop. Moreover, it proposes three solutions for WMNs from the perspective of protocol stock design: layered cooperative mechanism, relay ARQ mechanism and multi-hop mechanism.

Heuristics of node selection criteria to assess robustness of world airport network

The world airport network（WAN） is one of the networked infrastructures that shape today＇s economic and social activity, so its resilience against incidents affecting the WAN is an important problem. In this paper, the robustness of air route networks is extended by defining and testing several heuristics to define selection criteria to detect the critical nodes of the WAN.In addition to heuristics based on genetic algorithms and simulated annealing, custom heuristics based on node damage and node betweenness are defined. The most effective heuristic is a multiattack heuristic combining both custom heuristics. Results obtained are of importance not only for advance in the understanding of the structure of complex networks, but also for critical node detection.

Triboelectric nanogenerators:the beginning of blue dream

Wave energy is inexhaustible renewable energy.Making full use of the huge ocean wave energy resources is the dream of mankind for hundreds of years.Nowadays,the utilization of water wave energy is mainly absorbed and transformed by electromagnetic generators(EMGs)in the form of mechanical energy.However,waves usually have low frequency and uncertainty,which means low power generation efficiency for EMGs.Fortunately,in this slow current and random direction wave case,the triboelectric nanogenerator(TENG)has a relatively stable output power,which is suitable for collecting blue energy.This article summarizes the main research results of TENG in harvesting blue energy.Firstly,based on Maxwell’s displacement current,the basic principle of the nanogenerator is expounded.Then,four working modes and three applications of TENG are introduced,especially the application of TENG in blue energy.TENG currently used in blue energy harvesting is divided into four categories and discussed in detail.After TENG harvests water wave energy,it is meaningless if it cannot be used.Therefore,the modular storage of TENG energy is discussed.The output power of a single TENG unit is relatively low,which cannot meet the demand for high power.Thus,the networking strategy of large-scale TENG is further introduced.TENG’s energy comes from water waves,and each TENG’s output has great randomness,which is very unfavorable for the energy storage after large-scale TENG integration.On this basis,this paper discusses the power management methods of TENG.In addition,in order to further prove its economic and environmental advantages,the economic benefits of TENG are also evaluated.Finally,the development potential of TENG in the field of blue energy and some problems that need to be solved urgently are briefly summarized.
