Caching strategy based on transmission delay for D2D cooperative edge caching system by Yan CAI, Fan WU, Hongbo ZHU

“…To meet the requirements of 5G system with low delay and high reliability, for a single-caching D2D cooperative edge caching system, an optimization of the caching strategy based on transmission delay was proposed.The dynamic distributions of requesting users and idle users were modeled as the independent homogeneous poisson point process (HPPP) utilizing the stochastic geometry theory.Comprehensively considering the content popularity, user location information, device transmission power and interference, the relationship between the average transmission delay of user and the cache probability distribution was derived.Taking the average transmission delay as the objective function, the optimization problem was established, and a low complexity iterative algorithm was proposed to obtain the cache strategy with sub-optimal average transmission delay.Simulation results demonstrate that the proposed optimization cache strategy is superior to several common cache strategies in terms of transmission delay.…”

Design an intelligent model for suppliers productivity evaluation in sustainable supply chain by Majid Yarahmadi, Saeedeh Sakiniya

“…Finally, an intelligent DEA model for ranking the supplier companies via optimal  value is designed.Findings: This paper presents a new fuzzy DEA model based on a Genetic Algorithm for evaluating the productivity of suppliers in a sustainable supply chain.Originality/Value: In the proposed method, since the -cut obtained from the Genetic Algorithm is optimal, there is no longer a need to calculate the efficiency for different α-cuts through trial and error. Therefore, the proposed method's advantage is that it offers a more sustainable ranking in addition to increasing productivity for each supplier. …”

“…Integrated photonics, however, is usually considered not suitable for high-power applications mainly due to its small size which limits the energy storage capacity and, therefore, the output power. In the late 90s, to improve the beam quality and increase the stored energy, large-mode-area (LMA) fibers were introduced in which the optical mode area is substantially large. …”

Design and Dynamic Analysis of Ideological and Political Education Platform Based on Network Multimedia Technology by Xiaowen Chen

“…Because of the thought-political education platform design and ideological dynamic analysis of network multimedia technology, this study analyzes the construction and teaching circumstances of the platform, and then uses principal component analysis to analyze students’ political theory, political attitude, civilized etiquette, observance of thought, collective thought, public welfare thought, analysis of learning ideas, get the eigenvalues and variance %, of which the proportion of variance of the first four principal components exceeds 90%; public welfare activities and the idea of abiding by laws and regulations have a better influence on the first main component; collective thinking has a comparison on the impact of the second principal component, the correlation between the indicators of thought-political education and the concept of students’ quality is greater than 0.75; it shows that each index has a large degree of correlation with the concept of students’ quality, among which Political attitudes have the greatest impact on students’ quality outlook, with a correlation coefficient of 0.911; secondly, using a nonhomogeneous hidden Markov model to analyze ideological dynamics, we can get the learning situation in different ideological states; finally, the hot spots during the epidemic are related to ideological dynamics Sexual analysis showed that the p values were all less than 0.05, and the correlation analysis between hotspots and ideological dynamics during the epidemic was significant, namely “national sentiments”, “social responsibility”, “angels in white”, “Chinese power”, and “the benevolence of doctors”. …”
