Accurate and efficient network fault localisation based on monitoring is obviously one of the vital but also formidable tasks for successful network operations. With proliferations of large-scale network services, e.g. Géant E2E links, monitoring and fault localisation across multiple domains with data obtained from different network layers are becoming unprecedentedly important. Many efforts h...

in the present study, vibration of cylindrical laminates with different layers and angles were studied. in order to actuate and polarize in radial direction, a piezoelectric layer was located at outer surface of composite shell. laminates were assumed long enough so that plane strain state analysis in 2d can be used properly. in order to satisfy the boundary conditions, variables in terms of fo...

In this paper, we propose an enhanced leakage-based precoding scheme, i.e., layer signal to leakage plus noise ratio (layer SLNR) scheme, for multi-user multi-layer MIMO systems. Specifically, the layer SLNR scheme incorporates the MIMO receiver structure into the precoder design procedure, which makes the formulation of signal power and interference / leakage power more accurate. Besides, the ...

As the size of samples grows, the accuracy of trained multi-layer perceptrons grows with some improvement in error rates. But we cannot use larger and larger samples, because computational complexity to train the multi-layer perceptrons becomes enormous and data overfitting problem can happen. This paper suggests an effective approach in determining a proper sample size for multi-layer perceptr...

This paper concerns with a mathematical model considering customer satisfaction requirements in a supply chain. The model tradeoffs the supply chain ability to fulfill the customers’ requirements and the limited budget in a variety of production phases. The decisions made here help to determine the profit provider price and economic quantity while the effective supplier and priori requireme...

Defect of the tendon sheath after tendon injury is a main reason for tendon adhesions, but it is a daunting challenge for the biomimetic substitute of the tendon sheath after injury due to its multi-layer membrane-like structure and complex biologic functions. In this study, a multi-layer membrane with celecoxib-loaded poly(l-lactic acid)-polyethylene glycol (PELA) electrospun fibrous membrane ...
