Adaptive random early detection algorithm based on network traffic level grade prediction by Debin WEI, Chengsheng PAN, Li YANG, Zuoren YAN

“…In view of the problem that the calculation of average queue length and maximum packet drop probability in random early detection algorithm and its variants reflect the changes of network traffic slowly, an adaptive random early detection algorithm based on network traffic level grade prediction was proposed.Based on the statistical characteristics of self-similar network traffic, the transition probability table of network traffic level grade was established, and a grade prediction method of self-similar network traffic level with low complexity and high accuracy was proposed.Furthermore, the prediction results were applied to calculate the average queue length in equal interval and adjust the maximum packet drop probability.Under the condition of fixed and variable bottleneck link capacity, it is found that regardless of the degree of self-similarity of network traffic, the proposed algorithm can improve the throughput and packet loss rate, especially when the Hurst parameter is large and the traffic is light.…”

摩擦带传动弹性滑动的动力学分析与试验 by 王旭东, 熊平原

“…Belts are widely applied to various machine.Elastic sliding is one of the characteristics of friction belt transmission,and it leads to inexact transmission ratio and transmission efficiency decreased of belt drive system.In order to investigate generation mechanism and influencing factor of elastic sliding of belt transmission,dynamic model and kinematics model of elastic deformation of belt are established.The section analysis method indicates that pulling force difference of tight side and loose side of belt is essential reason which brings elastic sliding of belts.Orthogonal tests of the effects initial tension of belt,pulley-belt speed and load on elastic sliding rate of belt are carried out by CQP-B drive test bed.The results show that 3-factor are almost equal importance on sliding rate of belt.The greater initial tension,the lower pulley speed and the smaller load,the less elastic sliding rate of belt,and vice versa.Based on the above research results,the foundation of theory and tests for design of belt transmission system is provided.…”

Socialism in Bessie Head’s “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses”: A Marxist Reading by F. Sandro Asshary

“…Adjusting to capitalist society, the working class is often unconsciously or consciously mistreated to be seen as equal to the upper class. Since socialism is perfectly captured in Bessie Head’s “The Prisoner Who Wore Glasses,” this research aims to analyze the solidarity of the Span One group portrayed in the short story by using Mason’s solidarity, Roskin’s social democracy theories, and Uwe’s qualitative descriptive method. …”

A New Automatic Hydrological Station Relocation Algorithm (ASRA) for Moving Hydrological Stations Onto a Simulated Digital River Network by Kun Wang, Denghua Yan, Zuhao Zhou, Baisha Weng, Tianling Qin, Wuxia Bi, Siyu Liu

“…Findings revealed that CCA inaccuracies were notably decreased, transitioning from an initial 7.62% when employing a conventional 5‐km search radius to 5.43% after adopting an iteratively optimized, objective, and rational 8‐km search radius. The ASRA method was subsequently applied to GRDC stations within the HDMA and HydroSHEDS data sets, successfully repositioning 8,339 and 8,026 stations respectively, all with catchment area deviations of less than 5%, thus either exceeding or at least equaling the precision of prior research efforts. …”

Assessment of Preserved Ratio Impaired Spirometry (PRISm) Based on Different Definitions in the Early COPD Cohort by Dai C, Tang G, Yang H, Wu F, Deng Z, Zheng Y, Zhao N, Lu L, Wan Q, Wang Z, Peng J, Wu X, Zhou K, Cai G, Xiao S, Wen X, Yang C, Chen S, Yu S, Sun R, Zhou Y, Ran P

“…However, definitions for PRISm vary across studies, and researches comparing these definitions are limited.Objective: We aim to assess the agreement, the clinical features, and the prevalence of PRISm defined by restrictive spirometric pattern (RSP) method [that is forced vital capacity (FVC) method] versus forced expiratory volume in the first second (FEV1) method and by fixed values versus the lower limit of normal (LLN).Methods: All 1862 participants from the ECOPD study underwent questionnaire investigation, spirometry, biphasic CT, and impulse oscillometry. …”
