Infrastructure not only plays an import role in socioeconomic development, but also results in a remarkable increase of CO2 emissions. Based on a panel data analysis of 29 provinces in China from 1995 to 2013, we investigated the relationship between socioeconomic development and CO2 emissions with special focus on the impact of infrastructure stock density in both the country and regional scal...

Content Distribution Network (CDN) technology has been proposed to deliver content from content nodes placed at strategic locations on the Internet. However, only companies or organizations, who can pay for the services of CDNs, have the privilege of using CDNs to distribute their content. Individual users (peers) have to resort to more economical peer-to-peer (P2P) technologies to distribute t...

From a networking perspective, the chief impediment to throughput enhancement in infrastructure networks such as IEEE802.11 is the access point bottleneck: all traffic to, through, and from the network has to pass through this access point. When some clients experience poor channel conditions and therefore communicate at a lower data rate, this severely impacts the throughput of all clients in ...

Networked critical infrastructures are of national importance. However, such infrastructures are running 24/7. The supervisory control and data acquisition system (SCADA) of the critical infrastructure will generate enormous network traffic continuously. It is vital in such environments that only useful data are stored while redundant data are discarded to reduce the huge data storage demand. H...

AimThe purpose of this research is to display the need for diagnostic and data collecting healthcare technology through the use of technology such as the Swasthya Slate. ConclusionThe Swasthya Slate technology though designed for developing countries with a lack of health care infrastructure can also be used in developed countries to increase the quality of patient care and digitize patient spe...

this paper proposes a methodology to improve the time-performance of distributed simulation based on the HLA architecture using commercial simulators. In the context of industrial production, for instance, the timing of information transfer among federate simulators becomes an important issue whenever production control and scheduling are very closely linked. In such a context the re-scheduling...
