Performance and Commercial Application of the Promoter LCC-A for Maximization of Propylene Yield

1 Introduction Propylene as an important feedstock for organic chemicals is mainly originated from steam cracking and catalytic cracking processes. During the FCC process the propylene content varies with the FCC catalyst and process technology adopted, resulting in significant difference in propylene concentration in the cracked product——LPG. The conventional FCC pro- cess generally gives a propylene yield of around 4%, while the FCC process with maximization of propylene yield can in…     

Trade-offs for conflicting social objectives in the extraction of finite energy resources

Three social objectives figure prominently in the extraction of finite energy resources, namely income maximization, environmental quality, and inter-generational concern. Owing to lack of complementarity, the pursuit of these objectives often results in conflicts. As a result, extraction strategies should be based on the determination of trade-offs between the objectives. The paper deals with the formulation and illustration of a systems model to determine these trade-offs. The recognition of such trade-offs results in a greater conservation of the finite energy resource, and hence could act as an incentive for the development of alternative energy sources.     

Linear variational principle for convex vector maximization

For infinitely dimensional convex vector maximization problems, it is proved that there exists, under certain conditions, an arbitrarily small additive perturbation of the performance criterion by a linear continuous operator such that the perturbed problem has efficient solutions.

Interactive fuzzy stochastic multi-level 0–1 programming using tabu search and probability maximization

In this paper, we consider interactive fuzzy programming for multi-level 0–1 programming problems involving random variable coefficients both in objective functions and constraints. Following the probability maximization model together with the concept of chance constraints, the formulated stochastic multi-level 0–1 programming problems are transformed into deterministic ones. Taking into account vagueness of judgments of the decision makers, we present interactive fuzzy programming. In the proposed interactive method, after determining the fuzzy goals of the decision makers at all levels, a satisfactory solution is derived efficiently by updating satisfactory levels of the decision makers with considerations of overall satisfactory balance among all levels. For solving the transformed deterministic problems efficiently, we also introduce novel tabu search for general 0–1 programming problems. A numerical example for a three-level 0–1 programming problem is provided to illustrate the proposed method.

Adaptive joint bandwidth and power allocation in heterogeneous wireless access environment

Joint bandwidth and power allocation for a multi-radio access(MRA)system in a heterogeneous wireless access environment is studied.Since both the number of users being served by the system and the wireless channel state are time-varying,the optimal resource allocation is no longer a static optimum and will change with the varying network state.Moreover,distributed resource allocation algorithms that require iterative updating and signaling interactions cannot converge in negligible time.Thus,it is unrealistic to assume that the active user number and the wireless channel state remain unchanged during the iterations.In this paper,we propose an adaptive joint bandwidth and power allocation algorithm based on a novel iteration stepsize selection method,which can adapt to the varying network state and accelerate the convergence rate.A distributed solution is also designed for the adaptive joint resource allocation implementation.Numerical results show that the proposed algorithm can not only track the varying optimal resource allocation result much more quickly than a traditional algorithm with fixed iteration stepsize,but can also reduce the data transmission time for users and increase the system throughput.     

Correlations between characteristics of maximum influence and degree distributions in software networks

Software systems can be represented as complex networks and their artificial nature can be investigated with approaches developed in network analysis.Influence maximization has been successfully applied on software networks to identify the important nodes that have the maximum influence on the other parts.However,research is open to study the effects of network fabric on the influence behavior of the highly influential nodes.In this paper,we construct class dependence graph(CDG)networks based on eight practical Java software systems,and apply the procedure of influence maximization to study empirically the correlations between the characteristics of maximum influence and the degree distributions in the software networks.We demonstrate that the artificial nature of CDG networks is reflected partly from the scale free behavior:the in-degree distribution follows power law,and the out-degree distribution is lognormal.For the influence behavior,the expected influence spread of the maximum influence set identified by the greedy method correlates significantly with the degree distributions.In addition,the identified influence set contains influential classes that are complex in both the number of methods and the lines of code(LOC).For the applications in software engineering,the results provide possibilities of new approaches in designing optimization procedures of software systems.
