Abstract—Energy consumption by software applications is a critical issue that determines the future of multicore software development. In this article, we propose a hardware-software Cooperative approach that uses hardware support to efficiently gather the energy-related hardware counters during program execution, and utilizes parameter estimation models in software to compute the energy cons…
We consider the following singularly perturbed nonlinear elliptic problem: −ε2Δu + V (x)u = f(u), u∈ H1(RN), where N ≥ 3 and f is the nonlinearity of critical growth. In this paper, we construct a solution uε of the above problem, which concentrates at an isolated component of the positive local minimum points of V as ε → 0 under certain conditions on f. Our result completes th…
Abstract The adsorption of CO2 on Ba0.5Sr0.5Co0.8Fe0.2O3-d (BSCF) perovskite oxides in the absence and presence of O2 and H2O at various temperatures was investigated by temperature programmed desorption (TPD). XRD was used to characterize the phase of the samples before and after adsorption. No CO2 desorption peak was observed when CO2 was adsorbed on BSCF at room temperature. A CO2 desorpti…
Abstract. Effective control and removal of nitrogen oxides (NOx) emission from vehicles exhausts under leanburn condition is one of the most important targets in scientific research of environmental protection. A comprehensive introduction of NOx storage and reduction (NSR), the most promising lean-NOx control technology, is given including the sum-up of NSR materials, catalytic activity an…
Abstract. A series of TiO2 supported catalysts were prepared by impregnation method in a rotary evaporator and evaluated for the oxidation of NO to NO2. Among all catalysts studied, Ru/TiO2 catalyst exhibited the best activity and a maximal NO conversion of c.a. 94% could be achieved at c.a. 275 oC at a high GHSV of 180,000 h-1. For ruthenium catalysts, the effects of supports, ruthenium l…
