Multiple DAG off-line task scheduling for heterogeneous networked automobile electronic systems by Guo-qi XIE, Ren-fa LI, Fan YANG, Wei-hong HUANG

“…Fairness and communication overhead have become the major bottleneck in performance of scheduling,a fair sorting criteria based on round-robin with communication overhead weight was proposed and a selection criteria based on assigning the task to the minimum selection value considering insertion was proposed in processor selection phase.The multiple DAG off-line and fairness task scheduling(MDOFTS)algorithm was proposed combining the above two phases to reduce the schedule length and communication overhead.Heterogeneous networked automobile electronic systems are typical mixed-criticality embedded systems,which must make sure to be real-time and to reduce scheduling length.The multiple DAG off-line and priority task scheduling (MDOPTS) algorithm was proposed to make sure the safety-critical DAG.The multiple DAG off-line and adaptive task scheduling(MDOATS)algorithm was proposed to improve the system performance on the basis of real-time based on MDOFTS and MDOPTS.Example analysis and experimental results show that the MDOFTS algorithm is better than other algorithms in schedule length,communication overh unfairness,worst-case response time and real-time.…”

A novel conjugated polymer synthesized via a noble metal-free catalyst in photothermal therapy of hepatocellular carcinoma mediated by second near-infrared (NIR-II) laser by Shengsheng Cui, Xinni Pan, Shanshan Fan, Cheng Cao, Yingao Jiao, Yanfei Fu, Jiaqi Niu, Shujin Lin, Jingmao Lao, Yanlei Liu

“…PPAPA exhibits a high photothermal conversion efficiency of 75.2 % under 1064 nm laser irradiation, comparable to the benchmark organic photothermal agent SWCNT. Notably, the synthesis of PPAPA avoids the use of noble metal catalysts, eliminating potential biotoxicity caused by residual catalysts and ensuring optimal photothermal stability and efficiency. …”
