The thermal expectation values of all possible bosonic generalised retarded functions evaluated at zero energy are studied. The relationship of such functions to calculational schemes, technical problems and physical applications is outlined. It is then shown that all generalised retarded functions constructed from any one set of bosonic fields are equal at zero energy. This is done completely ...

Title of dissertation: ENERGY EFFICIENCY OPTIMIZATION IN GREEN WIRELESS COMMUNICATIONS Feng Han, Doctor of Philosophy, 2013 Dissertation directed by: Professor K. J. Ray Liu Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering The rising energy concern and the ubiquity of energy-consuming wireless applications have sparked a keen interest in the development and deployment of energyefficient and ec...

In 5G networks, the number of connected devices, data rate and data volume per area, as well as the variety of QoS requirements, will attain unprecedented scales. The achievement of these goals will rely on new technologies and disruptive changes in network architecture and node design. Energy efficiency is believed to play a key role in complementing the 5G technologies and optimizing their de...

Green Computing is a recent trend towards designing, building, and operating computer systems to be energy efficient. While programs such as Energy Star have been around since the early 1990s, recent concerns regarding global climate change and the energy crisis have led to renewed interest in Green Computing. Data centers are a significant consumers of energy both to power the computers as wel...

Iran as a rapidly developing country, whose economy is enriched by oil and gas exports, has to integrate Green Economy concept into its energy sector. In order to integrate environmental concerns into energy sector, an Energy-Environment Review (EER) was considered as the mainstreaming tool capable of examining the interface between energy and the environment. The results of the EER should be i...

globalization, increasing the global regulations of governmental and non-governmental organizations and customers’ request regarding to environmental compliance issues have led to organizations considering the green supply chain management to improve the environmental and economical performance. in order to maximize the efficiency of energy consumption and resources across the supply chain, gre...
