To search for the optimum working condition of coal partial gasification for co-production of hydrogen and electricity, a gasifier has been simulated and studied by the use of an Aspen Plus model. Oxygen-to-coal ratio, steam-to-coal ratio and steam temperature are optimization variables of the system. The optimization variables impact on syngas yield, syngas concentration, system exergy efficiency, HER and CO2 separation rate have been analyzed. It is found that the oxygen-to-coal ratio and the steam-to-coal ratio both have large influence on performances of gasifer and system and the steam temperature has the least influence.

e-Government is now used as the key instrument to provide e-services to the citizens and encourage the citizens to engage with the government on policy decisions through on-line inputs. Even though e-Government adoptions are wide-spread results have been mixed. In this paper, one successful e-Government initiative and one failed initiative in two developing countries are presented. During April 2007 the South African government launched the electronic National Traffic Information System (E-Natis). In this paper the researchers documented their investigative process and findings regarding the E-Natis debacle. This negative case study was compared with a similar case study in Sri Lanka in the same type of operation where the implementation of e-Revenue license initiative was successful.

This paper comprehends our work on assessing the feasibility of utilizing different NoSQL databases in handling a huge tree data structure with heterogeneous nodes in which heterogeneity implies that each node can embody a unique attribute set. It is a prominent requirement arising in structured log analysis where constituents in a software log file are scrutinized hierarchically. Traditional pills from relational databases fail in handling this efficiently. We lean towards NoSQL paradigm, which has been emerging as a prominent solution for dealing with high volumes of data with localized characteristics. Our exploration probes five different NoSQL models: wide column store, document store, tuple store, graph databases and multi-model databases that collectively account for a large fraction of the entire NoSQL spectrum. An experiment is designed to measure database performance against a generic tree API focusing on node insertion, node query and attribute-value query. The API is then implemented in a database selected from each of the five NoSQL models in concern. Implementations are used for testing the database performance with respect to the three operations by measuring time taken for a batch of similar operations in a machine with average hardware and software configuration. A summary of experiment results is provided along with the details on tree implementation methodology in each database. A discussion that highlights the congruence between observed performance differences among databases and the theoretical NoSQL models they represent is also included.

Hydro power is the major renewable energy contributor to the national grid in Sri Lanka amounting to 48% of the total installed capacity. Further expansion of hydropower however is limited due to environmental and resource constraints. Meanwhile the demand for electricity is estimated to rise at an annual rate of 8% - 10% prompting the need to find alternative power options. The wind energy has been identified as a promising candidate to generate electricity in Sri Lanka. However for a reliable integration of wind energy the volatile nature of wind has to be understood. Wind speed-time series data typically exhibit autocorrelation, which can be defined as the degree of dependence on preceding values. Generally, statistical models and neural network techniques are being used for time series analysis. Present study shows how an adaptive digital filter can serve as a modelling, forecasting and monitoring technique, and, how they contribute to a successful integration of wind power into the national grid. The north-western region of Kalpitiya has been identified as one of the potential location for wind power generation in the country. This study also predicts power generation and investigates power fluctuations for grid integrations of a commercially available wind turbine installed in Kalpitiya area by using measured wind speeds and performance of the wind turbine.

For the purpose of ship classification with SAR images, we put forward a way to extract the three-dimensional geometrical features of the ship in the case when the extracting and matching of the ship scattering centers are handicapped by the ocean movement and the scintillation of SAR images. An ellipsoid-ellipse model is used to approximate the ship and its SAR silhouette. With this model, the radar azimuths and the ship length are estimated in an almost unbiased way. Moreover, by introducing the length-width joint probability density function based on real samples, we got the width and height estimation by solving a constrained nonlinear Least Square problem. The estimations show satisfactory accuracy and robustness for the classification. The electromagnetic simulated images are used to validate the feasibility of the ellipsoid-ellipse model, as well as the efficiency of the algorithm.

Cloud technology today is being leveraged in various aspects of life ranging from entertainment to business. Among its several applications, interesting ones are those in the general field of scientific data management. The data generated here is typically of huge volumes from multiple sources and sharing often becomes imperative for collaboration among professionals and access to users. At the same time, the information involved is usually of a highly sensitive nature posing risks in sharing. In this work, we look closely at the healthcare domain where data was traditionally stored using pen-and-paper and has now shifted to electronic records being stored online. The next paradigm shift would be the storage of healthcare records using cloud technologies. This is precisely the focus of our work. We provide a background of existing cloud services, give details of data management in electronic health records (EHR), explain how cloud services can be useful in EHR data management and discuss the benefits as well as risks involved. We conclude with a list of open issues that present the potential for further research.

In this paper, we investigated the influence of asymmetric on TCP over HFC-based networks and related methods to improve the TCP performance. Then, a scheme called Modified Adaptive SACK Filtering is proposed to improve the TCP performance by adjusting the size of the block information in SACK option according to the real-time characteristics of network. Furthermore, based on the fact that the forward data is isotonic in HFC, Accelerated Lost Package Confirm is proposed to accelerate retransmission of lost packet. Based on the simulation results, the scheme make more significant performance improvement on TCP throughput than Reno and SACK Filtering.

The ultra-wideband (UWB) wireless technology is a hot point in communication area. Pulse position modulation with time hopping (PPM-TH) and pulse amplitude modulation with direct sequence (PAM-DS) are two of the basic UWB modulation methods. In this paper, we study the performances of the traditional UWB and time reversal (TR) UWB in the PPM-TH and PAM-DS system respectively. We found that the performance of TR PAM-DS is better than TR PPM-TH, and although the system with TR is better than traditional system, the Bit Error Rate (BER) is high when the noise is large. So we improve on TR with one-bit technique which is sacrificing partial temporal focus to increase amplitude. In complex environment one-bit TR is more suitable for PAM-DS system.

The synthesis of optimization of combined cooling heating and power systems implies searching for a design and operation methodology that minimizes or maximizes an objective function, such as economic cost, environmental load or thermodynamic efficiency. The search process is bounded by the system's model, which is expressed by a set of constraints. The design/operation methodology must deliver systems that can provide energy services efficiently and be capable of adapting to different economic markets or demand conditions. The optimum operation totally depends on the systems' performance and the relative demand of each commodity (heating, cooling, etc.), which are mutually exclusive, and the different demands cannot be produced independent of each other. The aim of this work is to report the main contributions that have been carried out in order to attain optimum energy integration to minimize the environmental impact while increasing the economical benefits and the thermodynamic performance of combined cooling heating and power plants.
