Reliability modeling and planning of energy harvesting based on uncertainty theory by Zhe WANG, Taoshen LI, Jin YE, Zhihui GE, Min WU

“…Energy harvesting network is a new form of computer networks.It can convert the environmental energy into usable electric energy,and supply the electrical energy as a primary or secondary power source to the electronic device for network communication.However,the energy harvesting process has great volatility and uncertainty,the traditional analytical method based on probability distribution function to describe the energy collection process can not accurately simulate the actual situation,resulting in higher depletion probability of nodes,then the reliability cannot be guaranteed as a result.For this,the energy harvesting reliability of energy harvesting nodes was defined,represented with the degree of normal operation,respectively set up the node reliability models with no battery and infinite battery.As an example for maximum node achievable rate,the uncertain multilevel programming model based on node reliability was put forward,then the network efficiency was improved under the premise of ensuring node reliability.An energy average allocation (EAA) algorithm was proposed and the upper bound of competitive ratio of the algorithm was proved theoretically.Finally,the actual wind power data was taken as an example to verify the feasibility and effectiveness of the proposed model and method.…”

Galvanic enhancement for high pressure leaching of chalcopyrite by Kim D.H., Kim W.J., Kim H.S., Han K.S., Tran T., Kim M.J.

“…The introduction of an electronic conductor, in this case the titanium surface, is believed to enhance this redox process, in which the oxidation of copper minerals and sulphur to sulphate at the anodic sites (mineral surface) encountered during POX leaching takes place simultaneously with the reversible oxidation/reduction of the Fe2+/Fe3+couple and oxygen reduction on titanium.…”

Cooperative mechanisms of oxide ion conduction in tellurites with secondary bond interactions and Grotthuss-like processes by Zhenyu Zhu, Guanqun Cai, Yuxiang Feng, Juping Xu, Shengqi Chu, Pengfei An, Jianrong Zeng, Wen Yin, Yu Gu, Xiaojun Kuang, Junliang Sun

“…Bi2Te2O7 and Bi2Te4O11 were selected due to their abundance of secondary bonds similar to hydrogen bonds and show high oxide ionic conductivity as mixed electronic and ionic conductors. Neutron total scattering experiments with reverse Monte Carlo simulations indicated that the oxide ion migration in those two tellurites is a synergetic effect of mutual transition between Te-O secondary bonds and covalent bonds assisted by Te-O polyhedra rotation. …”
