To store low-temperature heat below 100 ◦C, novel composite sorbents were developed by impregnating LiCl into expanded vermiculite (EVM) in this study. Five kinds of composite sorbents were prepared using different salt concentrations, and the optimal sorbent for application was selected by comparing both the sorption characteristics and energy storage density. Textural properties of composite ...

We experimentally assess compression with scalar and vector quantization for fixed-mobile convergent networks. We show that four-dimensional vector quantization allows 73% compression compliant with 3GPP EVM recommendations for transmissions over 25 km SSMF with 1:16 split ratio.

This paper argues that software testing can be less thorough yet more efficient if applied in a well-managed, empirical manner across the entire Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC). To ensure success, testing must be planned and executed within an Earned Value Management (EVM) paradigm. A specific example of empirical software testing is given: the Empirical Bayesian Stopping Rule (EBSR). Th...

This paper focuses on the current developments on the estimation/reconciliation modules of a novel framework for integrated decision support of process systems (IDSoPS). Built on the initial conceptual definition, a generic and versatile error-invariables (EVM) was implemented and tested for both off-line and on-line applications using a state-of-the art modeling tool. The IDSoPS has the capabi...

Dieser Beitrag fokussiert die Frage, wie ein besseres Verständnis für Kommunikationsprozesse und Medienwahl in Innovationswettbewerben erlangt werden kann. Die Virtualisierung von Innovationswettbewerben ermöglicht den Einsatz vielfältiger Medien und verspricht Unternehmen Vorteile gegenüber der traditionellen physischen Integration. Aktuelle theoretische Konzepte erfassen die Art der Kommunika...

A low-cost rapid-prototyping system using Texas Instruments' (TI) TMS320C30 Evaluation Module (EVM) based on the MathWorks' development software is presented in this paper. The rapid prototyping system serves as an educational tool in learning digital signal processing (DSP) and seeing the concept realized in real time. The development software modules, Simulink, uses graphical block diagrams t...

The Java Virtual Machine Language (JVML) is rapidly emerging as the de-facto standard for representing portable code and Java Virtual Machines (JVMs) are increasingly being used as standard platforms for running applications. But how suitable are the JVMs and the associated JVML for this purpose? This paper argues that JVML has a serious drawback in that it is not extensible enough. This lack o...
