Time Disjoint Paths (TDP) - RWA on Scheduled Lightpath Demands in Optical Transport Networks (2005)

In optical networks, traffic demands often demonstrate periodic nature for which time-overlapping property can be utilized in routing and wavelength assignment (RWA). A RWA problem for scheduled lightpath demands (SLDs) has been solved by combinatorial optimal solution (COS) and graph coloring, or heuristic sequential RWA (sRWA). Such methods are very complex and incurs large computational overhead. In this paper, we propose an efficient RWA algorithm to utilize the time disjoint property as well as space disjoint property through fast grouping of SLDs. The computer simulation shows that our proposed algorithm indeed achieves up to faster computation with similar number of wavelengths than the existing heuristic sRWA algorithm.

Human Limitations as a Source of Generic System of Systems Properties (2007)

This thesis presents a systems view of production, where production systems are compared and contrasted with other large and complex systems, commonly labeled System of Systems (SoS). The rationale for this approach lies in the evolution of production systems towards being holistic, sustainable, and agile; which increases the need for an improved understanding of both how internal system are interrelated, and how the production system interacts with its environment. In turn, this leads to an increase of complexity for the production system, which leads to new requirements on systems engineering.The definition of SoS is extensively discussed, and in this thesis formalized with regards to certain system characteristics that SoS exhibit. The presence of these characteristics is evaluated for three different levels of production systems to determine if they should be considered SoS. In the second part of the thesis, the SoS characteristics are addressed from an engineering point of view, i.e. if and how SoS properties are currently addressed in production systems engineering.Two main results are presented in this thesis: (1) production systems exhibit SoS characteristics; (2) SoS characteristics are not and cannot be addressed with current systems engineering methods. How SoS characteristics can be addressed is briefly discussed in the frame of reference.An additional purpose of this thesis is to initiate a new research area where production systems research and complex systems research are merged.
Hydrocarbon chain distribution of ether phospholipids of the ascidian<i>Halocynthia roretzi</i> and the sea urchin<i>Strongylocentrotus intermedius</i> (1996)

The contents and compositions of the 1-O-alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl, 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl, and 1,2-diacyl glycerophospholipids in the muscle and viscera of the ascidian Halocynthia roretzi, and of the gonad of the sea urchin Strongylocentrotus intermedius, which are eaten to some extent in Alaska and in Asia, were analyzed by gas-liquid chromatography. 1-O-Alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl glycerophospholipids were found in all of the samples, accounting for 64.4-69.0% of the ethanolamine glycerophospholipid (EPL). By contrast, the levels of the 1-O-Alk-1'-enyl-2-acyl choline glycerophospholipids (CPL) were low (3.1-5.7%). CPL was rich in the 1-O-alkyl-2-acyl subclass amounting to 12.5-23.9% in the ascidian sample. The level of CPL in the sea urchin gonad was extremely high, amounting to 46.1%. The most prominent alkyl chains in the sn-1 position of CPL from the ascidian muscle were 16:0 (44.6%), 18:1 (26.5%), and 18:0 (10.7%), and of CPL from the sea urchin gonad were 18:0 (36.2%), 16:0 (33.0%), and 18:1 (17.8%). Unusually high levels of odd-numbered alkyl chains, e.g., 19:0 and anteiso 17:0, were detected in the CPL of all samples. The prominent alkenyl chains of EPL were 18:0 (69.4%), 16:0 (10.0%), and 18:1 (8.54%) (not counting the vinyl double bond) for the sea urchin gonad. Relatively high levels of 20:1 alkenyl chains were also present. The glycerol sn-2 positions contained high proportions of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Thus, 20:5n-3 (43.6%) and 22:6n-3 (20.1%) were most abundant in the alkylacyl CPL from the ascidian muscle and 20:5n-3 (54.9%) and 20:4n-6 (30.1%) in alkylacyl CPL from the sea urchin gonad. Despite a possible interconversion of the alkyl and alkenyl chains of each class of the ether phospholipids, they showed few features in common.
Fuzzy saturating control of a ball and beam system (2002)

In this paper, a connection between fuzzy controllers and variable structures controllers is developed. With this connection, a proof of their stability is presented. Further, methods to simplify fuzzy controllers as well as apply them to situations where fuzzy controllers previously failed are developed.
Surface appearance and instability of empty H-2 class I molecules under physiological conditions. (1991)

Recent evidence suggests that endogenously produced antigenic peptides are required for assembly of major histocompatibility complex class I chains with beta 2-microglobulin and transport to the cell surface. The RMA-S mutant cells are thought to be defective in intracellular peptide loading to class I molecules and, therefore, devoid of class I surface expression. Here we report that at physiological temperature (37 degrees C) "empty" class I molecules appear at the cell surface of RMA-S cells where they can be trapped with H-2 antibodies. In the absence of the stabilizing ligand, the class I molecules rapidly alter their conformation but remain at the cell surface as demonstrated with a rabbit antiserum. Such denatured H-2 molecules can also be found on normal wild-type RMA cells. However, their amount is strongly reduced after culture of RMA cells with a class I binding peptide. These findings indicate that empty class I molecules appear at the surface not only on mutant but also on normal cells, suggesting that in normal cells the supply with peptides is limited.
Influence of peripheral blade angle on performance and stability of axial inducers (2005)

The goal of this paper is to compare the experimental performance within the cavitating regime for three axial inducers identified by the leading edge angle at the periphery of the blades, β 1T = 10, 13, 15° and which will be noted as inducer 10°, inducer 13° and inducer 15°. The three-dimensional flow was analysed using the CFD code ‘CFX-BladeGENRELSP +’. This enabled us to explain the unstable and cavitating operation for off-design conditions. A brief bibliographic review of the cavitating regime and the outlines of the design method for the three axial inducers that were studied are first presented. Then, for these inducers; the main results are presented: 1) Overall performance—head coefficient and critical cavitation number (5 and 15 per cent drop) vs. the flow rate; 2) Vibration behaviour vs. the flow rate and the suction pressure; and 3) CFD results, which enable us to explain the unstable experimental behaviour for these inducers.

The structure of weakly compressible grid-generated turbulence (2001)

A decaying compressible nearly homogeneous and nearly isotropic grid-generated turbulent flow has been set up in a large scale shock tube research facility. Experiments have been performed using instrumentation with spatial resolution of the order of 7 to 26 Kolmogorov viscous length scales. A variety of turbulence-generating grids provided a wide range of turbulence scales with bulk flow Mach numbers ranging from 0.3 to 0.6 and turbulent Reynolds numbers up to 700. The decay of Mach number fluctuations was found to follow a power law similar to that describing the decay of incompressible isotropic turbulence. It was also found that the decay coefficient and the decay exponent decrease with increasing Mach number while the virtual origin increases with increasing Mach number. A possible mechanism responsible for these effects appears to be the inherently low growth rate of compressible shear layers emanating from the cylindrical rods of the grid. Measurements of the time-dependent, three dimensional vorticity vectors were attempted for the first time with a 12-wire miniature probe. This also allowed estimates of dilatation, compressible dissipation and dilatational stretching to be obtained. It was found that the fluctuations of these quantities increase with increasing mean Mach number of the flow. The time-dependent signals of enstrophy, vortex stretching/tilting vector and dilatational stretching vector were found to exhibit a rather strong intermittent behaviour which is characterized by high-amplitude bursts with values up to 8 times their r.m.s. within periods of less violent and longer lived events. Several of these bursts are evident in all the signals, suggesting the existence of a dynamical flow phenomenon as a common cause.
CURING STUDY AND OPTIMIZATION OF A POLYURETHANE-BASED MODEL PAINT COATED ON SHEET MOLDING COMPOUND PART I: POLYMERIZATION AND DRYING MODELLING (2000)

ABSTRACT This study deals with the drying / curing process of a model car painting applied on SMC type support and more precisely with the bubbling phenomenon (craters, chips, bubbles, etc.) which appears during the industrial drying of these materials. Firstly, the polymerization and the drying kinetics were experimentally determined for many operating conditions. Concerning the polymerization kinetics determination, different classical analytical methods were used as the differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and the microdiclectrometry, this last one allowing the determination of the polymerization degree in situ and in real time. All these
Successive Synthesis of Well-Defined Many Arm Star-Branched Polymers by an Iterative Methodology Using a Specially Designed 1,1-Diphenylethylene (2006)

The synthesis of well-defined regular and asymmetric star-branched polymers having as many as 63 arms, each of similar or different composition, is described. This synthesis has been achieved by developing a new, iterative methodology using a specially designed functionalized reagent, 3,5-bis(3-(4-(1-phenylethenyl)phenyl)propoxy)benzyl bromide (5). This reagent is capable of introducing two 1,1-diphenylethylene (DPE) functions via one reaction site. The methodology involves only two sets of reactions for entire iterative reaction sequence: (a) an addition reaction of living anionic polymer(s) to DPE-chain-functionalized polymer to link polymer chain(s) and (b) an in situ substitution reaction of 5 with 1,1-diphenylalkylanions newly generated after the addition reaction. Two DPE functions are introduced per one anion. With this methodology, well-defined 3-, 7-, 15-, and 31-arm followed by 63-arm regular star-branched polystyrenes as well as 3-arm AB2, 7-arm AB2C4, and 15-arm AB2C4D8, followed by 31-arm AB2C4D8E16 asymmetric stars were successively synthesized. The A, B, C, D, and E segments were polystyrene, poly(α-methylstyrene), poly(4-methylstyrene), poly(4-methoxystyrene), and poly(4-trimethylsilylstyrene) segments, respectively. All of the analytical results with 1H NMR, SEC, SLS, and RALLS measurements revealed a high degree of structural and compositional homogeneity in each of all the stars synthesized in this study.
Study on the combustion behavior of high impact polystyrene nanocomposites produced by different extrusion processes (2008)

The combustion behavior of a blend made of high impact polystyrene (HIPS) with sodium montmorillonite (MMT-Na + ) and triphenyl phosphite (TPP), as a halogen-free flame retardant, is analyzed in detail in this work. The blend is processed through various extrusion methods aimed to improve clay dispersion. The UL94 method in vertical position, oxygen index and cone calorimetric measurements assess HIPS blend behavior in combustion. TGA, FTIR, SEM and X-ray measurements, together with mechanical and rheological tests evaluate the thermal degradation, morphology, intercalation and degree of dispersion of particles. The use of a static-mixing die placed at the extreme of a single screw extruder improves clay platelets distribution and reduces the peak heat release rate better than employing a twin screw extrusion process. In addition, mechanical and rheological properties are affected substantially by changing the extrusion process. A correlation between clay dispersion and HIPS fire retardant properties is found, as the peak heat release rate decreases with good clay dispersion in cone calorimetric tests.
Machine Learning Based IoT Intrusion Detection System: An MQTT Case Study (MQTT-IoT-IDS2020 Dataset) (2020)

The Internet of Things (IoT) is one of the main research fields in the Cybersecurity domain. This is due to (a) the increased dependency on automated device, and (b) the inadequacy of general purpose Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) to be deployed for special purpose networks usage. Numerous lightweight protocols are being proposed for IoT devices communication usage. One of the distinguishable IoT machine-to-machine communication protocols is Message Queuing Telemetry Transport (MQTT) protocol. However, as per the authors best knowledge, there are no available IDS datasets that include MQTT benign or attack instances and thus, no IDS experimental results available. In this paper, the effectiveness of six Machine Learning (ML) techniques to detect MQTT-based attacks is evaluated. Three abstraction levels of features are assessed, namely, packet-based, unidirectional flow, and bidirectional flow features. An MQTT simulated dataset is generated and used for the training and evaluation processes. The dataset is released with an open access licence to help the research community further analyse the accompanied challenges. The experimental results demonstrated the adequacy of the proposed ML models to suit MQTT-based networks IDS requirements. Moreover, the results emphasise on the importance of using flow-based features to discriminate MQTT-based attacks from benign traffic, while packet-based features are sufficient for traditional networking attacks.
Block Copolymer/Homopolymer Mesoblends:  Preparation and Characterization (2002)

Miscible block copolymer/homopolymer blends are typically prepared from homogeneous solutions in a nonselective solvent. During solvent removal and subsequent annealing, the molecular species comprising such blends organize in such fashion as to lower the system free energy and ideally attain thermodynamic equilibrium. In this work, we investigate nonequilibrium triblock copolymer/homopolymer (ABA/hB) blends generated by diffusing hB molecules from a hB-selective solvent into a lamellar ABA copolymer. Since the copolymer is already microphase-ordered during homopolymer incorporation, we refer to such blends as mesoblends. The mass uptake of hB is found to be strongly dependent on homopolymer molecular weight (MhB), with the maximum solubility scaling as MhB-1. An induction period that scales as MhB1/2 is also observed. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that the morphology of these mesoblends appears to be perforated lamellar, which, in some cases, transforms to cylindrical upon annealing. Dynamic mechanical analysis and differential scanning calorimetry confirm that the A-rich microdomains in the mesoblends are plasticized. The mechanical properties of these mesoblends can be improved upon annealing, but nonetheless differ from those of composition-matched conventional blends.
Modification of the hydrogen storage properties of Li3N by confinement into mesoporous carbons (2011)

This study presents an innovative synthetic route to Li3N@carbon composites for the purpose of use as hydrogen storage materials. The synthesis method is provided by wet impregnation of mesoporous carbons (graphitic or non-graphitic) using lithium azide solutions, followed by a thermal treatment allowing the transformation of lithium azide into lithium nitride, the latter being formed into the porosity of the carbon hosts. It has been shown by X-ray diffraction that the high-pressure β-phase of Li3N can be stabilized within the carbon matrix. The resulting Li3N@carbon composites have desirable hydrogen storage properties with fast hydrogen absorption/desorption kinetics at 200 °C (much faster than those measured for non-confined Li3N) as well as a completely reversible hydrogen storage process: a 20 wt% Li3N-loaded composite leads to a reversible hydrogen storage capacity of 1.8 wt% (e.g. about 9 wt% per mass of Li3N).

A Process For Treating Woven Glass Cloth (2012)

Woven fiberglass cloths are by far the most common reinforcement material used in PCBs. The glass yarns are coated with silane-based coupling agents designed to improve the interfacial adhesion between the glass filaments and the resin matrix. Poor glass surface wetting and weak adhesion of the resin to the yarn are the major root causes for a number of PCB failure mechanisms. Time-of-Flight Secondary Ion Mass Spectrometry (ToF-SIMS) was utilized in order to garner a better understanding of the observed poor glass surface wetting and weak adhesion of the resin to the yarn following standard thermolysis processes during preparation of the glass cloth. A solvent-based process was demonstrated to yield excellent retention of the glass cloth physical properties while simultaneously providing a clean glass surface for bonding of the coupling agent. ToF-SIMS verified the presence of silane at the cloth surface. The results were used to derive recommendations for the glass cloth suppliers in order to improve the efficiency of their silanation process.
