Low-grade heat from sources below 100 C o ers a vast quantity of energy. The ability to extract this energy, however, is limited with existing technologies as they are not well-suited to harvest energy from sources with variable heat output or with a small temperature di erence between the source and the environment. Here, we present a process for extracting energy from low-grade heat sources u...

In this paper we undertake a large crossdomain investigation of sentiment domain adaptation, challenging the practical necessity of sentiment domain adaptation algorithms. We first show that across a wide set of domains, a simple “all-in-one” classifier that utilizes all available training data from all but the target domain tends to outperform published domain adaptation methods. A very simple...

sink location is considered as a basic service in geographic routing in wireless sensor networks. obtaining the location of sink node by source node using an efficient method with low complexity has always been a challenging issue in research. in this paper, a sink location algorithm based on fano plane is proposed. the research challenge is how to ensure the intersection of two slq and sla rou...

The effects of dissolved air in the dielectric liquid FC-77 on flow boiling in a microchan-nel heat sink containing ten parallel channels, each 500 ␮m wide and 2.5 mm deep, were experimentally investigated. Experiments were conducted before and after degas-sing, at three flow rates in the range of 30– 50 ml/ min. The dissolved air resulted in a significant reduction in wall temperature at which...

A laboratory-scale temperature system for Control and Automation courses is presented. The system is a coupled two-input two-output process which use peltier modules for temperature control. This paper describes the laboratory-scale system in details. A linear dynamic model of the thermoelectric cooler including the heat sink and the cooling-load heat exchanger is developed and experiments are ...

Unique-sink orientations (USOs) are an abstract class of orientations of the ncube graph. We consider some classes of USOs that are of interest in connection with the linear complementarity problem. We summarise old and show new lower and upper bounds on the sizes of some such classes. Furthermore, we provide a characterisation of K-matrices in terms of their corresponding USOs.

This paper explores the concept of micro-architectural loops and discusses their impact on processor pipelines. In particular, we establish the relationship between loose loops and pipeline length and configuration, and show their impact on performance. We then evaluate the load resolution loop in detail and propose the distributed register algorithm (DRA) as a way of reducing this loop. It dec...

A Mobile Wireless Sensor Network (M-WSN) derives its name by considering either mobile sink or mobile sensor nodes within the Wireless Sensor Network (WSN). As the sensor nodes are energy constrained, energy efficiency is the main aspect to be considered in any applications. By considering mobile sensor nodes in WSN, we can have better energy efficiency, improved coverage, and enhanced target t...
