3060) Estimating Power Consumption of Refrigerating Machine from Periodic Cooling Load

Estimating Power/Energy Consumption in Database Servers

The explosive growth in the size of data centers, coupled with the wide-spread use of virtualization technology has brought power and energy consumption as major concerns for data center administrators. Provisioning decisions must take into consideration not only target application performance but also the power demands and total energy consumption incurred by the hardware and software. Failure...

Energy Efficient Gas Cooling for Two -Stage Ammonia Refrigerating Plants

Analyzing the Power Consumption of the Mobile Page Load

Modeling the energy consumption of applications on mobile devices is an important topic that has received much attention in recent years. However, there has been very little research on modeling the energy consumption of the mobile Web. This is primarily due to the short-lived yet complex page load process that makes it infeasible to rely on coarsegrained resource monitoring for accurate power ...

Estimating Brain Load from the EEG

Modern work requires cognitively demanding multitasking and the need for sustained vigilance, which may result in work-related stress and may increase the possibility of human error. Objective methods for estimating cognitive overload and mental fatigue of the brain on-line, during work performance, are needed. We present a two-channel electroencephalography (EEG)-based index, theta Fz/alpha Pz...

Estimating Nitrogen Load Resulting from Biofuel Mandates

The Energy Policy Act of 2005 and the Energy Independence and Security Act (EISA) of 2007 were enacted to reduce the U.S. dependency on foreign oil by increasing the use of biofuels. The increased demand for biofuels from corn and soybeans could result in an increase of nitrogen flux if not managed properly. The objectives of this study are to estimate nitrogen flux from energy crop production ...
