Abstract The problem to minimize power losses in an electrical network subject to voltage and power constraints is in general hard to solve. However, it has recently been discovered that semidefinite programming relaxations in many cases enable exact computation of the global optimum. Here we point out a fundamental reason for the successful relaxations, namely that the passive network components give rise to matrices with nonnegative offdiagonal entries. Recent progress on quadratic programming with Metzler matrix structure can therefore be applied.

This paper applies the amplification matrix latency insertion method (LIM) to the circuits including dependent sources. The formulation derivation for the general circuits and the stability conditions of the amplification matrix LIM are presented in detail. Compared with the conventional scalar LIM, the amplification matrix LIM need much larger time step, so it can dramatically improve the performance. The simulation results validate the conclusion.

Level set methods have been used for image segmentation. Because partial deferential equations are solved to propagate a curve, level-set image segmentation has a slow convergence speed. The objective of this paper is to propose a method that increases the convergence speed. The proposed approach exploits the benefit of multi-resolutional analysis. Wavelet transform is used to decompose the image into different resolutions. The obtained results show a great improvement in terms of speed and accuracy.

Almost all existing fluid models of congestion control assume that the fluid flow at the output of a link is the same as the fluid flow at the input of the link. This means that all links in the path of a flow see the original source rate. In reality, a fluid flow is modified by the queueing processes on its path, so that an intermediate link will generally not see the original source rate. In this paper, we propose a simple model that explicitly takes into account of the effect of buffering on output flows. We study the dual and primal-dual algorithms that use implicit feedback and show that, while they are always asymptotically stable if feedback delay is ignored, they can be unstable in the new model.

A new direction in short-range wireless applications has appeared in the form of high-speed data communication devices for distances of a few meters. Behind these embedded applications, a complex Hardware/Software architecture is built. Dependability is one of the major challenges in these systems. Obviously in such systems, the attribute reliability has to be investigated for various components and at different abstractions levels. This paper presents a hardware platform for wireless system dependability analysis as an alternative for the time consuming global system simulation technique. The platform is built using several instances of one of the commercial FPGA platforms available on the market place. Based on this platform we introduce a new methodology and a flow to investigate the different parts of system dependability at different abstraction levels. The benefits to use the proposed methodology are two fold: first it takes care of the whole system (HW/SW part, mixed RF and wireless part) and second, the hardware platform enables to explore the application's reliability under real environmental conditions in order to study the effect of the environment threats on the system.

In this paper, we present a modular approach to the high frequency simulation of large networks by utilizing the latency insertion method (LIM) and considering the stability criteria of partitions of different latencies in the circuit. This results in a robust algorithm that is able to preserve the stability condition while improving the runtime of the overall transient simulation. An extension to the LIM to handle dependent sources is also presented, along with a generalized stability criteria for selecting a maximum stable time step.

As white space, unused local TV spectrum, will be allowed for the broadband Internet access, we can use white space network as the supplementary network of licensed and/or unlicensed access networks such as cellular and WiFi™ networks. Thus, after setting up the connection over a cellular or WiFi™ system, mobile devices equipped with a white space interface will connect to a radio resource management server to retrieve a location-based list of open white space channels, “a so-called spectrum map”. This paper aims to reduce a signaling overhead for the setup of a cellular or WiFi™ connection and the retrieval of the spectrum map. To achieve the goal, we suggest embedding the retrieval operations of the spectrum map inside the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) operations for the IP assignment during the connection setup of the cellular or WiFi™ networks. The theoretical analysis demonstrates that our proposal, the fast provision of the spectrum map, can contribute to accommodating one or more white space devices when the total number of open white space channels is 30.

BiFeO3 (BFO) thin films have been deposited on SrRuO3/SrTiO3 (001) substrate by using ion beam sputtering process. At low oxygen partial pressure of 11 m Pa, rhombohedral and largec/a mixed phase thin film have been obtained in spite of rhombohedral BFO single phase formation at high oxygen partial pressure of 73 mPa. From wide area 2θ-Ψ mappings, diffraction peaks from large c/a phase BFO thin film were obtained with the same extinction rule as those of rhombohedral BFO. Reciprocal space mappings around BFO (003) and BFO (103) spots indicate that lattice parameters of largec/a phase BFO werea = 0.381 nm andc = 0.461 nm (c/a =1.22), respectively. Moreover ferroelectric domain switching could be observed in both of rhombohedral BFO and mixed phase BFO thin films.
