Today, commercialization, or “going to market” (Friedman, 2002), is particularly challenging, especially given the pressure to do it quickly. Indeed, it has been claimed that the need for speed in development and speed in going to market have a tremendous impact on the dynamics of technology transfer and is the most important driver of change, which means that a firm’s ability to develop and ma...

2014 A transition between a smectic A phase and a smectic A antiphase (SÃ) is observed for the first time in a pure compound : the nitrobenzoyloxybenzoate of heptylphenyl. So far, the anomalies of periodicities which are connected to this type of transition were only detected in cyano systems. Moreover, the solid phase of the inferior homologue of this nitro series is surprisingly influenced by...

Due to the increasing interest on renewable sources in recent years, the studies on integration of distributed generation to the power grid have rapidly increased. In order to minimize line losses of power systems, it is crucially important to define the size and location of local generation to be placed. Minimizing the losses in the system would bring two types of saving, in real life, one is ...

At the behavioral level, large power saving is possible by shutting down unused operations, which is commonly referred to as power management. However, on the other hand, operation scheduling has a significant impact on the potential for power saving via power management. In this paper, we present an integer linear programming (ILP) model for the simultaneous application of operation scheduling...

Previous works in IEEE 802.16e power saving mainly focused on standard Type I or Type II power saving class. The limitation of adopting Type I or Type II was discussed in our previous work, and the idea of applying traffic modeling and measurement called Load-Based Power Saving (LBPS) was proposed. The base station in LBPS measures the traffic load and estimates the sleep window size for mobile...

The increase in energy cost and the need to reduce the global greenhouse gas emission to protect our environment have stimulated the investigation of new innovative techniques for the energy consumption reduction in telecommunication networks. Some studies show that ICT is today responsible for a fraction of the world energy consumption of about 4%, and this percentage is expected to double in ...

Nowadays, water and electricity are closely interdependent essential sources in human life that affect socio-economic growth and prosperity. In other words, electricity is a fundamental source to supply a seawater desalination process, while fresh water is used for cooling this power plant. Therefore, mutual vulnerability of water treatment and power generation systems is growing because of inc...

In this paper, we propose a scheme for double-layered mobile P2P systems that enhances energy efficiency by modifying PSM(Power Saving Mode) defined in 802.11. The proposed scheme lengthens the beacon interval adaptively and adopts a known power saving scheme for more power saving. The experimental results showed that the proposed scheme improved 58.3% in terms of the average energy saving and ...
