Clustered P2P based resource query and dissemination for multi-hop wireless mesh network by Ji-gang WEN, Kun XIE, Gao-gang XIE, Guang-xing ZHANG, Ren-fa LI

“…According to the character of mesh topology and character of the different types of mesh nodes,the multi-hop wireless mesh network was modeled as clustered P2P.Moreover,in order to save the message bandwidth,the Bloom filter as the message to represent the resource list abstract was used,and the message was transmitted among the constructed P2P clusters.To minimize the downloading interruption due to mobility of clients,a resource-density-sensitive resource query and dissemination algorithm in which the query was transmitted to the cluster that had the maximum number of replica resources was proposed.The simulation results show that the proposed resource query and distribution algorithm can provide appealing resource downloading performance.…”

Optimization of power optical transmission network based on photo-electronic hybrid cross-connection technology by Yang ZHAO, Wei SONG, Chengyu DUAN, Fang SHEN, Xiaohong ZHANG, Jihua ZHAO

“…A preliminary analysis to the current situation of the power grid optical transmission network was made.The power grid optical transmission network is facing huge challenges such as the increasing transmission capacity, the increasingly complex topology, the flexible scheduling of services and the evolution of network intelligence.By adopting photoelectric layered cross processing, electric layer cross focus on small particles business convergence and long distance electric regeneration, optical layer routing provides the flexible wavelength routing, based on colorless, directionless, and contention less flexible grid configurable add/drop architecture CDC-F ROADM technology to optimize network structure, improve the network transmission efficiency, reducing energy consumption and space, which also benefits the evolution of network intelligence, and greatly save the construction and operational costs.…”

On the research for big data uses for public good purposes by Adeline Decuyper

“…In this article, we review some of the advances made in this field, and present opportunities offered by big data for public good, in fields such as help for humanitarian action or natural disasters response, indicating that in some cases, data may be used to save lives. Finally, aside from the opportunities, the mass production and use of data has also brought many challenges, such as evaluating the representativity of the data or handling threats to the privacy of users, that we will discuss in the last section of this article.…”

A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home by Shuai SHAO, Zhijun SHANG, Zhongfeng WANG, Guoliang XIN, Yueyue LI, Xiangyu KONG, Xujing PENG

“…A QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home was proposed.Firstly,the distribution structure of different buildings was combined to carry out targeted ODN line path design.Secondly,in the ONU packet cluster planning stage,in order to meet the QoS requirements of multi-service differentiation,the communication cost as the optimization goal was uesd,and the optimization problem model was established with the constraints of access capacity,reliability and delay.At the same time,intelligent algorithms were used to solve the optimization problem model.Finally,the optical path attenuation of the planned network was calculated to meet the actual application needs.The simulation results show that the proposed QoS-based network planning method for power fiber to the home can save network construction cost while ensuring service reliability and delay requirements.…”

Efficient attack detection and data aggregation algorithm by Hong-bing CHENG, Chun-ming RONG, Xiao HUANG, Skjalg EGGEN, Qing-kai ZENG

“…An efficient algorithm of attack detection and data aggregation for wireless multimedia sensor networks based on the previous work was proposed.The proposed algorithm concludes the action trait of sensor nodes from their attribute vectors without any prior knowledge,at the same time;it was scalable and could be applied in large scale net-works.The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm can detect the attacks action more accurate than other technologies,and can make data aggregation efficiently.At the same time,the proposed algorithm can make the wireless multimedia sensor networks secure and reduce communication flow so that it will save a lot of resources in wireless mul-timedia sensor networks.…”

Fast adaptive mode decision algorithm for H.264 based on spatial correlation by FENG Bin, LIU Wen-yu, ZHU Guang-xi

“…A fast adaptive inter prediction modes decision method was proposed to reduce the complexity of H.264 encoder.Firstly the candidate inter modes used in rate distortion optimization can be limited in a small mode group（MG）by using the characteristics of the motion compensated residual image.Then the two most probable modes of the chosen MG are obtained based on the modes of the up MB and the left MB.By calculating and comparing the rate distortion cost of the two modes,the optimum mode of the MB is determined.The experimental results show that the proposed method can save the encoding time up to 65% on average with ?…”

Understanding Pregnancy Diagnosis in Beef Cattle by G. Cliff Lamb, Darren D. Henry, Vitor R. G. Mercadante, Doug E. Mayo

“… Because 55 to 70 percent of the input costs associated with a beef cattle operation are related to nutrition, culling open (non-pregnant) cows after the breeding season can save as much as $200 per head that can be diverted to the purchase or development of replacement females, sire selection, increased nutritional management, and other management-related costs. …”
