In this article, we propose a new architecture within the software-defined networking （SDN） framework, which allows stations to be connected to several APs simultaneously and to switch fast between them. We evaluate our system in a real-time testbed and demonstrate that our SDN-based handover mechanism significantly reduces the number and duration of video freeze events and allows for smaller playout buffers.展开更多

With never ending competition and growing operating costs of aircraft, airlines continuously need to explore opportunities to reduce the aircraft down-time in order to remain sustainable. Due to round the clock operation feature of scheduled airlines, aircraft maintenance operations are generally carried out using traditional management methodologies instead of considering it as a project. Though aircraft heavy maintenance checks consist of several major tasks that can last from few weeks to a year, the maintenance organisations do not adopt modern project management methodologies. Therefore, this paper models a heavy maintenance check of an Airbus aircraft as a typical project and adopts contemporary project management methodology to explore the possibility of reducing the downtime. To this end, a case study has been done at an aircraft maintenance company to analyse the potential of this project management method in aircraft maintenance industry.展开更多

The significances and constructions of OSRM are analyzed. Both the fundamental facts and the important natures that the things which are interested by Objects Served （OS） （e. g. publishers and readers） and the server （e. g. digital libraries are the servers of publishers and readers） will not be the same completely although there are a lot of common benefits between OS and servers, are indeed clarified. The valuable information,which should be used by OS and their server, is often hidden behind them. Thus, how to find, manage and control the relationship among OS and their servers is very necessary and important for the common benefits among all of them.（e. g. the three dimensions of OSRM in digital library system and its overall framwork are proposed. The different strategies to different cases in the digital library＇s multidimensional framework are analyzed.）展开更多

The paper investigates current waste management and disposal options for ship generated waste and the associated impact of the waste for port. Data about the ship traffic were provided by the Port Authority and about the amount and characteristics of the wastes by the contractors for the disposal of the ship generated waste. It was concluded that all vessels should be encouraged to use the reception facilities and should pursue a waste reduction strategy and the port authority to provide adequate recycling facility. An electronic recording data system has to be adopted for better evaluation of the performance of the system. This system must record the deliveries for every ship in the port, the amount and the type of wastes are generated. Also must provide information about the maximum storage capacity of waste on board and about management of waste treatment options by the ships.展开更多

文摘To achieve high performance and reliability in video streaming over wireless local area networks （WLANs）, one must jointly consider both optimized association to access points （APs） and handover management based on dynamic scanning of alternate APs. In this article, we propose a new architecture within the software-defined networking （SDN） framework, which allows stations to be connected to several APs simultaneously and to switch fast between them. We evaluate our system in a real-time testbed and demonstrate that our SDN-based handover mechanism significantly reduces the number and duration of video freeze events and allows for smaller playout buffers.

文摘One of the most notable developments in the asset management industry in recent decades has been the growth of algorithmic trading.At the same time,significant structural changes in the industry have occurred,with passive investing gaining momentum.The intersection of these two major trends poses special challenges during market downturns,magnifying portfolio losses and leading to significant outflows.Emerging market(EM)investors have seen two major downturn events in the 2020s,namely the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine conflict,both of which have strongly affected EM portfolios’risk-return profiles and increased their correlations with their developed market counterparts,eliminating much or all of EMs’diversification benefits.This has led to major capital outflows from EM countries,further destabilizing these fragile economies.Against this backdrop,we argue that capital need not exit these riskier markets during periods of turmoil and support this by developing a second-generation Automated Adaptive Trading System(AATS)back-tested on a relevant,diversified EM portfolio that tracks the Morgan Stanley Capital International(MSCI)Emerging Markets Index during a volatile period characterized by negative returns,high risk,and a high correlation with global markets for the buy-and-hold EM portfolio.The system incorporates an Autoregressive Moving Average-Generalized AutoRegressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity model that offers an interpretability advantage over machine-learning methods.The main strength of the AATS is its ability to allow the embedded hybrid forecasting model to adapt to the changing environments that characterize EMs.This is done by implementing a recursive window technique and running a user-specified fitness function to dynamically optimize the mean equation parameters throughout the lead time.Back-testing several configurations of the flexible AATS consistently reveals its superiority while assuring the robustness of the results.We conclude that with the right investment tools,EMs continue to offer compelling opportunities that should not be overlooked.The novel AATS proposed in this study is such a tool,providing active EM investors with substantial value-added through its ability to generate abnormal returns,and can help to enhance the resilience of EMs by mitigating the cost of crises for those countries.

文摘In order to solve the problems of high experimental cost of ammunition,lack of field test data,and the difficulty in applying the ammunition hit probability estimation method in classical statistics,this paper assumes that the projectile dispersion of ammunition is a two-dimensional joint normal distribution,and proposes a new Bayesian inference method of ammunition hit probability based on normal-inverse Wishart distribution.Firstly,the conjugate joint prior distribution of the projectile dispersion characteristic parameters is determined to be a normal inverse Wishart distribution,and the hyperparameters in the prior distribution are estimated by simulation experimental data and historical measured data.Secondly,the field test data is integrated with the Bayesian formula to obtain the joint posterior distribution of the projectile dispersion characteristic parameters,and then the hit probability of the ammunition is estimated.Finally,compared with the binomial distribution method,the method in this paper can consider the dispersion information of ammunition projectiles,and the hit probability information is more fully utilized.The hit probability results are closer to the field shooting test samples.This method has strong applicability and is conducive to obtaining more accurate hit probability estimation results.

文摘Financial integration plays an important role in fostering global economic growth.Energy demand,technology transfer,sustainable production,and climate change have emerged as key drivers of sustainable development.This study explores the influence of financial integration,bolstered by renewable energy-induced trade,industry-driven technology,and environmental concerns,on regional economic growth.This study analyzes a panel of 39 high-and upper-middle-income European and Central Asian countries in 2017–2021.Using a panel generalized method of moments estimator,we reveal an inverted U-shaped relationship between regional economic growth and carbon emissions.Moreover,renewable energy-induced trade contributes positively to regional growth while trade openness and technology transfer further enhance this growth.Industry-driven technology negatively impacts regional growth owing to inadequate financial integration.The absence of sustainable energy infrastructure and industrialization also negatively impacts regional growth.Our study underscores the importance of increasing financial integration to promote sustainable energydriven trade openness and technology transfer in line with the United Nations’sustainable development agenda.
