A key problem in mechanism design is the construction of protocols that reach socially efficient decisions with minimal information revelation. This can reduce agent communication, and further, potentially increase privacy in the sense that agents reveal no more private information than is needed to determine an optimal outcome. This is not always possible: previous work has explored the tradeo...

A great deal of attention has been paid to social public sports facility construction in China. Studies being conducted on China’s social public sports facility utilization status have important significance in promotion of national sports investment. In this paper, China’s social public sports facility utilization status is analyzed by literature searching method and data statistical analysis ...

In order to develop the photo cathode gun for the Compact ERL (cERL), which is a test accelerator to establish accelerator technologies for GeV-class synchrotron light source based on ERL (Energy Recovery Linac), Gun Test Facility is constructing in KEK, AR south experimental hall. The Gun Test Facility consists of a 500 kV gun construction area, a laser system area and a gun test beamline with...

The microalgae biofuels life cycle assessments (LCA) present in the literature have excluded the effects of direct land use change (DLUC) from facility construction under the assumption that DLUC effects are negligible. This study seeks to model the greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of microalgae biofuels including DLUC by quantifying the CO2 equivalence of carbon released to the atmosphere throug...

A microcontroller based capacitance meter using 89C52 microcontroller for the measurement of capacitance has been design and developed. It is based on the principle of charging and discharging of the capacitor. Atmel’s AT89C52 microcontroller is used in the present study. Further, an LCD module is interfaced with the microcontroller in 4-bit mode, which reduces the hardware complexity. Software...

An interest in plume spectroscopy led to the development of a labscale Hybrid Rocket Facility at the University of Arkansas at Little Rock (UALR). The goal of this project was to develop a reliable, consistent rocket motor testbed for the development of plume spectroscopy instrumentation. Hybrid motor technology was selected because it has proven to be safe and inexpensive to operate. The proje...

this paper presents a design procedure for an adaptive power management control strategy based on a driving cycle recognition algorithm. the design goal of the control strategy is to minimize fuel consumption and engine-out nox, hc and co emissions on a set of diversified driving schedules. seven facility-specific drive cycles are considered to represent different driving scenarios. for each fa...
