The MapReduce platform has been widely used for large-scale data processing and analysis recently. It works well if the hardware of a cluster is well configured. However, our survey has indicated that common hardware configurations in small- and medium-size enterprises may not be suitable for such tasks. This situation is more challenging for memory-constrained systems, in which the memory is a bottleneck...
The dynamic performance requirements of the developed school bus was introduced. The forward-facing vehicle simulation model was established and used to simulate four powertrain configurations in three driving cycles. Simulation results shows merits and faults of four powertrain configurations in dynamic performance, all-electric range, fuel consumption and electricity consumption. A series plug-in...
By adopting the prospect theory, this paper explores how loss aversion influences suppliers' buyback policies when retailers are loss-averse. Specifically, this paper examines how buyback contract coordinates a supply chain, which consists of one loss-averse retailer and one risk-neutral supplier with stock losses. Research models in centralized setting and decentralized solution are proposed and...
The occurrence of learning transfer is an important criterion for checking whether learning has taken place. In recent years, simulation games have been applied widely in the field of skill training and education. But research about whether learning transfer occurs in simulation games is still limited. This paper aims to examine whether learning transfer occurs among learners and to explore the characteristics...
As technology becomes more portable, Mobile Learning (mLearning) has been a powerful trend in teaching, learning and training. With the help of Cloud Computing, mLearning overcomes obstacles related to mobile computing and holds considerable promise for future development and delivery in the education sector. This paper proposes a comprehensive model, Location, Technology, Culture, and Satisfaction...
In this paper, we focus on the problem of instructions scheduling based on new meta-heuristic algorithm named Ant Colony Optimization (ACO).During the execution of the program, in fact, the flow goes from one instruction to the other. This procedure leads to binary transition just out of the differences between the binary code of two consecutive instructions. Our method pursues a related optimization...
This paper introduces the design of our real time vision-based motion performance animation system. The system requires user to wear a small set of markers. The low-dimensional control signals from user's performance are first used to construct a series of local models, which could be later used to animation synthesis. When constructing local models, we preprocess motion capture data to K-nearest...
Presented the shift points determining method of the power shift schedule when the traction power curve does not intersect under the adjacent shift of the same throttle. Established the transmission system mathematics model. Built a software in-the-loop simulation platform with Matlab/Simulink, and simulate the process of the vehicle continuous upshift. The simulation results showed that the power...
This paper examines what affects government credit information systems diffusion. Based on Technology-Organization-Environment framework, Technology Acceptance Model, Innovations Diffusion Theory, and Institutional Theory, we propose a model of affecting government credit information systems diffusion under China E-government circumstance. Data collected from a survey in Shanghai are analyzed with...
In the C programming language standard, there are rules for implicit type conversions, including integer promotion rules. These rules, as well as the explicit type conversions imposed by the coder, may result in redundant code for 8-bit MCUs. However, code size is critical for the programs running in embedded systems, since smaller code size often means less consumption of ROM as well as energy, and...
To solve moving parameters identification problem for deep sea-bed mining robot, estimation model of key parameters is built after the discussion on robot dynamic model and hydraulic system. And a controller based on key parameters estimation model is presented to accomplish the path following task for deep sea-bed mining robot with assumption that the desired path is given. Experiment results on...
