Credit-based slot allocation for multimedia mobile ad hoc networks

This paper studies resource management for multimedia mobile ad hoc networks (MANET). In particular, we focus on providing fair scheduling with quality-of-service (QoS) support for MANET. We consider two types of flows: guaranteed and best effort flows. The goal is to satisfy the QoS requirements of guaranteed flows and to provide global fairness for best effort flows. In this paper, a credit-based fair scheduling mechanism called credit-based slot allocation protocol (CSAP) is proposed. In CSAP, nodes are logically grouped into clusters, each with a scheduler. Each scheduler assigns time slots to nodes in its cluster based on the first tier algorithm. The node scheduled to send at the next time slot then in turn assigns the time slot to a relayed flow determined by the second-tier algorithm. Each multihop flow is treated as multiple single-hop flow segments. These segments are then correlated such that a downstream segment will not be allocated a slot unless the upstream segments have all been allocated. We evaluate the performance of CSAP by simulations. The results show that CSAP meets the QoS requirements of guaranteed flows, provides global fairness for best effort flows, and improves overall system throughput.     

Off-line multiresponse optimization of electrochemical surface grinding by a multi-objective programming method

The objective of this study is to optimize electrochemical grinding (ECG) process responses simultaneously by an off-line multiresponse optimization methodology. The responses considered as objectives are side and bottom overcuts, surface finish, spindle load, total metal removal rate, and wheel wear. Materials of 304 Stainless Steel are ground by the ECG process. The process variables optimized for the above objectives include electrolyte type, wheel material, grit size, grit concentration, d.c. voltage, electrolyte flow rate, wheel speed, feed rate, and ripple effect. A simple weighting method transforms the multi-objective problem into a single-objective programming format and then, by parametric variation of the weights, the set of non-dominated optimum solutions are obtained. It is shown in this paper that the multi-objective optimization methodology can be applied for an ECG operation, and that the optimal operating conditions for any given set of weights can be obtained depending upon the objectives.

High-temperature hydrothermal systems in West Yunnan Province, China

There are more than 660 thermal springs in West Yunnan Province, 30 of which are high-temperature hydrothermal systems with reservoir temperatures above 150°C.All thermal springs in West Yunnan are under the control of the tectonics, most of them being distributed at anticlinoria of metamorphic rocks and granites. This paper discusses the relationship between thermal areas and tectonics, the correlation between thermal springs in West Yunnan and North Thailand, and the geothermal prospects in West Yunnan.     

Simulation of programmable logic controller

The development and test of a PLC control program takes time, increases equipment down-time, and might damage hardware due to program errors. All of these problems can be eliminated if there is a computer simulation system for testing control programs off line. This paper presented a new method, called Direct Sequential Method, for simulating PLCs. This method resolves a ladder logic sequentially by applying a series of logic deductions. This simulation system has been implemented in C and tested successfully.     

Surgical navigation by autostereoscopic image overlay of integral videography

This paper describes an autostereoscopic image overlay technique that is integrated into a surgical navigation system to superimpose a real three-dimensional (3-D) image onto the patient via a half-silvered mirror. The images are created by employing a modified version of integral videography (IV), which is an animated extension of integral photography. IV records and reproduces 3-D images using a microconvex lens array and flat display; it can display geometrically accurate 3-D autostereoscopic images and reproduce motion parallax without the need for special devices. The use of semitransparent display devices makes it appear that the 3-D image is inside the patient's body. This is the first report of applying an autostereoscopic display with an image overlay system in surgical navigation. Experiments demonstrated that the fast IV rendering technique and patient-image registration method produce an average registration accuracy of 1.13 mm. Experiments using a target in phantom agar showed that the system can guide a needle toward a target with an average error of 2.6 mm. Improvement in the quality of the IV display will make this system practical and its use will increase surgical accuracy and reduce invasiveness.     

A Study of the Compatibility Between Asphalt and SBS

In this article, the compatibilities between different components of a base asphalt and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) have been analyzed from microscopic structures. Specifically, the asphalt was separated into three components: saturates, aromatics, and resins, by Solvent Recycled Absorption Chromatography Separation Technology (SRACST). The compatibilities between these different components and the polymer were compared with the help of Fluorescence Microscope (FM) with which the existing state of the polymer SBS in these different components could be examined obviously. The modified effects indicated that aromatics could cause SBS swollen and, resins dissolved SBS better than saturates, though both the two components could partially dissolve SBS and the two mixtures presented two immiscible phase systems. In order to further investigate the compatibility between aromatics and SBS, from macroscopic properties, an additive rich in aromatics was added to the SBS/asphalt mixture, and the result was satisfactory.     

Chosen plaintext attack on a cryptosystem with discretized skew tent map

An encryption system with discretized skew tent map has been proposed recently by N. Masuda . However, there is a fundamental weakness with this chaotic cryptographic scheme. In this paper, a chosen plaintext attack requiring only two plaintexts is proposed. An improved version of this attack that narrows the key space need to be searched is also suggested. The test results demonstrate that this encryption cryptosystem is easily broken under the proposed chosen plaintext attack.

川东地区石炭系气藏的气水界面主要分布在两个范围内，一是潜伏构造气藏的气水界面海拔较深，一般为-3800～-4700m；另一是主体构造气藏的较浅，一般为-1600～-2600m。各构造带之间相邻的潜伏圈闭气藏往往受同一大向斜内的水域相隔，并在原始状态下相互维系了气水的压力平衡，因此同一向斜内某一构造的水井资料就可用于计算另一构造同一气藏的气水界面。基于这种认识，章根据同向斜域内相邻构造的水井资料计算卧龙河、双家坝、云和寨、高峰场、胡家坝等气田的原始气水界面，得到的气水界面与实际误差为-3～-18m。说明该方法在实际应用中可靠性较好，可节省钻井投资，缩短气田的评价周期。
