We examine how a shift of bargaining power within households operating in a competitive market environment affects equilibrium allocation and welfare. If price effects are sufficiently small, then typically an individual benefits from an increase of bargaining power, necessarily to the detriment of others. If price effects are drastic the welfare of all household members moves in the same direc...

After years of development and trial usage, cloud computing has finally entered into mainstream and wide spread commercial use. Among the various cost elements in operating a cloud computing infrastructure, power usage stands out prominently. In fact, how to reduce the power consumption of cloud computing platforms has received considerable attention of the cloud service provider as well as aca...

This paper presents a methodology for power consumption estimation considering harmonic and interharmonic content and then it is compared to the power consumption estimation commonly done by commercial equipment based on the fundamental frequency, and how they can underestimate the power consumption considering power quality disturbances (PQD). For this purpose, data of electrical activity at t...

Excessive power consumption is a major barrier to the market acceptance of hard disks in mobile electronic devices. Studying and reducing power consumption, however, often involves running timeintensive disk traces on real hardware with specialized power-monitoring equipment. This paper presents Dempsey, a disk simulation environment that includes accurate modeling of disk power consumption. It...

Power consumption of electronic devices has become a serious concern in the recent years. Power efficiency is necessary to lengthen the battery lifetime in the portable systems, as well as to reduce the operational costs and the environmental impact of stationary systems. Two new approaches that enable systems to save power by adapting to changes in environment are proposed: dynamic power manag...

Objective: The main objective pursued in this paper is to investigate the energy consumption for drying of potato slices using vacuum-infrared drying method. Methods: Drying of potato slices with the thicknesses of 1, 2 and 3 mm were conducted at vacuum levels of zero (without vacuum), 20, 80 and 140 mm [Hg], infrared radiation at power levels of 100, 150 and 200 W in the three repetition. Resu...
