With soaring demands of Internet content services, content delivery network (CDN), one of the most effective content acceleration techniques, is applied into Internet services. Content routing functions in CDN are generally realized by load balancing system. Effectiveness of load balancing strategy determines response speed to users and user experience (UE) directly. This paper extracted the mo...

The recent ASHRAE project, “Updating the ASHRAE/ ACCA Residential Heating and Cooling Load Calculation Procedures and Data” (RP-1199), developed two new residential loads calculation procedures: residential heat balance (RHB), a detailed heat balance method that requires computer implementation, and residential load factor (RLF), a simplified procedure that is hand tractable and suitable for sp...

The reliability index is an important reliability parameter that is necessary for the development of reliability-based geotechnical design. Both the factor of safety (FS) and the reliability index (β) represent safety margin of structures against either failure or limit state. In this study, the reliability index is analyzed and evaluated in reference to the factor of safety currently adopted i...

an electric arc furnace (eaf) is known as nonlinear and time variant load that causes power quality (pq) problems such as, current, voltage and current harmonics, voltage flicker, frequency changes in power system. one of the most important problems to study the eaf behavior is the choice of a suitable model for this load. hence, in this paper, a probabilistic three-phase model is proposed base...

Future smart grids will be featured by flexible supply-demand management and great incursion of renewable energy to enable efficient and inexpensive grid operation. While the renewable energy offer a cheaper and cleaner energy deliver, it introduces supply improbability due to the volatility of renewable source. In this project power consumption of the loads are determined according to that the...

Abstract – Distributed generation (DG) technology is known as an efficient solution for applying in distribution system planning (DSP) problems. Load growth uncertainty associated with distribution network is a significant source of uncertainty which highly affects optimal management of DGs. In order to handle this problem, a novel model is proposed in this paper based on DG solution, consideri...

late-onset alzheimer's disease (load) is a neurodegenerative disorder and the most common form of dementia affecting people over 65 years old. alzheimer’s disease is a complex disease with multi-factorial etiology. inflammation has been approved to have an important role in the pathogenesis of alzheimer’s disease (ad). tnf-a is a main pro-inflammatory cytokine that plays an essential role in in...

To solve the problem that traffic network of rapid change is easy to fall into the situation of network congestion, based on the network load information, we use the average transmission time and local interface queue length information to find the path of the load balancing, and select minimum load channel through load-aware channel allocation. Considering interference suppression, load balanc...

For problems with highly dynamic behavior, our experiments showed that there are speciic characteristics for diierent applications. We therefore propose a mapping environment providing several strategies for both granularity control and dynamic load balancing. For appropriate selection and parameterization of strategies, we extract the application characteristics using trace-based prooling and ...
