Zn–air battery is a promising energy storage device because of its remarkably high energy density. However, development of affordable oxygen catalysts with high eletrocatalytic activity and excellent durability is of critical importance for the implementation of rechargeable Zn–air batteries. Here, we report a novel synthesis of three-dimensional (3D) Co–N–C nanowire network (NN) and its remarkable electrocatalytic performance as a bifunctional electrocatalyst in rechargeable Zn–air batteries. The carbon nanowire network was derived from cost-effective cellulose, with Co and N heteroatom doping achieved by annealing the self-assembled[email protected]cellulose under N2. As reported here, the best sample synthesized at 800 °C, referred to as 3D Co–N–C NN-800, demonstrated an oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) onset potential of 1.05 V and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) overpotential of 0.47 V (10 mA cm–2). As a result, a Zn–air battery assembled with 3D Co–N–C NN-800 demonstrates a small voltage gap of 0.8 V between charge and discharge and excellent durability, as evidenced by a minimal decay after 30 h operation (90 cycles, 15 mA cm–2). This study demonstrates a novel design strategy to enhance the electrcatalytic site and its homogeneity via the covalently bonded doping, which could be employed for the further development of bifunctional carbonaceous electrocatalysts.

This paper studies the communication pattern of data-parallel applications from the perspective of job execution, and discovers multiple inter-coflow dependencies. These inter-coflow dependencies, collectively named as semantic flow (seflow), can expose job-level semantics. It is observed that most distributed computing frameworks describe their job execution as directed acyclic graphs (DAG). So a seflow comprises not only all the coflows of a job but also the DAG-based relationship between them. Seflow, coflow and flow can be viewed as the top-down abstractions for communication of jobs.
In this paper, we consider a wide class of constrained nonconvex regularized minimization problems, where the constraints are linearly constraints. It was reported in the litera- ture that nonconvex regularization usu...

Virtual Machine(VM) allocation for multiple tenants is an important and challenging problem to provide efficient infrastructure services in cloud data centers. Tenants run applications on their allocated VMs, and the network distance between a tenant's VMs may considerably impact the tenant's Quality of Service(Qo S). In this study, we define and formulate the multi-tenant VM allocation problem in cloud data centers, considering the VM requirements of different tenants, and introducing the allocation goal of minimizing the sum of the VMs' network diameters of all tenants. Then, we propose a Layered Progressive resource allocation algorithm for multi-tenant cloud data centers based on the Multiple Knapsack Problem(LP-MKP). The LP-MKP algorithm uses a multi-stage layered progressive method for multi-tenant VM allocation and efficiently handles unprocessed tenants at each stage. This reduces resource fragmentation in cloud data centers, decreases the differences in the Qo S among tenants, and improves tenants' overall Qo S in cloud data centers. We perform experiments to evaluate the LP-MKP algorithm and demonstrate that it can provide significant gains over other allocation algorithms.

Multiple-kernel k-means (MKKM) clustering has demonstrated good clustering performance by combining pre-specified kernels. In this paper, we argue that deep relationships within data and the complementary information among them can improve the performance of MKKM. To illustrate this idea, we propose a diversity-induced MKKM algorithm with extreme learning machine (ELM)-based feature extracting method. First, ELM, which has randomly chosen weights of hidden and output nodes, is applied to thoroughly extract features from data by generating different numbers of hidden nodes and using different functions. Second, an MKKM algorithm with diversity-induced regularization is utilized to explore the complementary information among kernels constructed from features. The problem could be solved efficiently by alternating optimization. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms state-of-the-art kernel methods.

High reliability is an essential factor of modern software. At the same time, as software complexity is increasing day by day, bug counts and rate inevitably rises, leading to undermine software reliability. To avoid this problem, programmers always use issue-finding tools(bug detection) to discover the defects from source code in development of software. Recently, software inspection has been shown to be an effective way to speed up the process of source code verification and to move a portion of discovered defects from test to coding phase. As we know, modern software is often developed over many years. During this time, the commit metadata is becoming an important source of social characteristics. In this paper, our aim is to devise an empirical method to assess the percentage and the types of the issues found by issue finding tools are actual defects of the software.
