Investigation of priority based balancing model of resource allocation in LTE downlink supporting RAT 1 presented. The novelty of model is that it can be used to describe the process of resource blocks allocation in LTE downlink given user equipments requests priority. Using the model allows to optimize the process of resource allocation in LTE downlink in solving the problem by mixed-integer l...

In china, atmospheric storage tanks are not included in the management of special equipment, and therefore they are not required to be inspected compulsorily. There is larger difference between China and developed countries on atmospheric storage tank inspection technique than the other techniques on the inspection of pressure vessels. It is widely believed that the strength worsening and perfo...

In this paper a novel approach is presented for generating RDF graphs of arbitrary complexity from various spreadsheet layouts. Currently, none of the available spreadsheet-to-RDF wrappers supports cross tables and tables where data is not aligned in rows. Similar to RDF123, XLWrap is based on template graphs where fragments of triples can be mapped to specific cells of a spreadsheet. Additiona...

Guaranteed Annuity Options (GAOs) are options available to holders of certain pension policies. Under these contracts, policyholders contribute premiums into a fund managed by the insurer. At retirement, the policyholders buy life annuities at a guaranteed rate provided by the original insurer, or annuitize with another insurer. If the guaranteed annuity rates are better than the prevailing rat...

This report presents a MIMO sounding system dedicated to short range wireless communication. The system can easily be integrated with Vector Network Analyzer (VNA) and other commercial equipments. The advantage of our proposed system is the achievement of completely automatic measurement, while retaining accuracy. Using the system, a double directional measurement campaign in indoor NLOS enviro...

Abstract—The present paper examines the impact noise transmission through some floor building assemblies. The Acoubat software numerical simulation has been used to simulate the impact noise transmission through different floor configurations used in Algerian construction mode. The results are compared with the available measurements. We have developed two experimental methods, i) field method,...

Mobile Ad-hoc Network is a self configurable routing protocol. Nodes in MANET can shift freely from one place to another place and each node in MANET can take action as a transmitter, receiver and router. WiMAX is a telecommunication technology standard which provides fixed and mobile Internet access. Access Server Network (ASN) in WiMAX provides the layer 2 connectivity to the user equipments....

Since critical socio-technical systems include people interacting with equipments in workplaces, their intrinsic reliability problems have been concerned with both these two “actors”. Air Traffic Control (ATC) is going to be such a system in which controllers use a large number of distributed software tools to provide safety ATC services. The reliability of these services relies on the availabi...

Biodiesel is an important new alternative transportation fuel. Biodiesel processing and quality are close related. The process used to refine the feedstock and to convert it to biodiesel determines whether the fuel will meet the applicable specifications. In this work, a new characterization method is proposed using an electronic nose coupled to artificial neural networks. Four samples of biodi...

The main protocol which is currently used to manage computer networks is known as SNMP. Ease of use and expansion are the most advantages of applying it to the equipments and computer networks. Despite of advantages, it is faced with serious challenges in networks that generate high traffic and has a wide range of network devices. To overcome its defects, several methods have been presented. On...
