reactants, reagents, and catalysts. A wide variety of performances of transition-metal catalysts are considerably dependent on the electronic states belonging to d-orbital electrons having dif ferent oxidative or spin states designed by coordinated ligands. To explore high-performance catalysts, analytical investigation based on electronic states is necessary, and theoretical calculations are i...

Automatic speech recognition accuracies of call-canter conversations are still below intended levels due to harsh conditions such as channel distortions, external noises, coarticulated speech, etc. Agglutinative and free word order nature of Turkish degrades the recognition performances further; therefore the usage of confidence measures (CMs) is inevitable to retrieve correct information from ...

Among the most recurrent Wireless Sensor Network (WSN) employment is the biopotential signals monitoring (e.g. electrocardiograms, electroencephalograms, electrogastrograms) that allows transmitting the body organ response from a person. Within the WSN’s focused on bioelectrical studies, the energy analysis is essential indeed, given that sensors are devices of minimal dimensions and implies ba...

Satellite-derived assessments of surface downwelling solar irradiance are more and more used by engineering companies in solar energy. To increase performances, work is on going in the framework of the MACC project funded by the European commission, to improve both the modeling of the radiative transfer and the quality of the inputs describing the optical state of the atmosphere. The present st...

2014 In this paper, we present the influence of some astronomical and constructive parameters on the HFT working. The astronomical parameters are : (1) hour and (2) day. The constructive parameters are : (3, 4) the east-west and north-south distances between heliostats, (5) the mirror size, (6) the tower height, (7) the distance between the tower and the heliostats field. The HFT working is ana...

Based on analyzing the difficulties of closed-loop supply chain operation management, considering the new environment as the economic society developing continuously and discussing the feasibility of virtual enterprise, an operation management mode for the closed-loop supply chain based on virtual enterprise is presented in this paper. The organization framework, the operational process, the dy...

cement production is an energy-intensive process, so that the cement industry occupies a top position among other energy-consuming industries. among the equipment used in cement industries, boilers are one of the energy-consuming equipment. boilers are among the common heating equipment in industrial, commercial, and institutional facilities. in this paper, the performance of thermal oil boiler...

The ability to measure the energy consumed by cloud infrastructure is a crucial step towards the development of energy efficiency policies in the cloud infrastructure. There are hardware-based and software-based methods of measuring energy usage in cloud infrastructure. However, most hardware-based energy measurement methods measure the energy consumed system-wide - including the energy lost in...
