SCR of NO with C3H6 in the presence of excess O2 over Cu/Ag/CeO2-ZrO2 catalyst

The catalytic activity of a series of CeO2-ZrO2 mixed oxides in the selective catalytic reduction (SCR) of NO by C3H6 at 400'C has been investigated. The NO reduction activity of pure CeO2 is enhanced in the presence of Zr, reaching a maximum NO conversion with CeO2(75)-ZrO2(25) catalyst. Then, the catalytic performances of Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2 and Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2(75)-ZrO2(25) catalysts were compared and the latter showed better activity especially in the low temperature region (250-350 C). The stronger metal-support interaction and higher reducibility shown by the Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2(75)-ZrO2(25) catalyst were believed to enhance its performance compared to Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2 catalyst by activating more C3H6 to selectively reduce NO within this temperature region. Central composite response surface design methodology was employed to study the effect of operating variables such as temperature, NO and C3H6 concentrations on the SCR of NO by C3H6 over Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2(75)-ZrO2(25) catalyst and to determine the optimum value of operating variables for maximum NO conversion. Numerical results indicated that the optimum NO conversion of 82.89% is attained at reaction temperature =415.38 C, NO concentration= 1827.16 ppm and C3H6 concentration = 1908.13 ppm. The addition of water vapor to the reactant significantly decreased the NO conversion over Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2 and Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2 (75)-ZrO2(25), but the inhibition was more pronounced over Cu(4)/Ag(1)/CeO2 catalyst

Prototyping Incentive-based Resource Assignment for Clouds in Community Networks

Wireless community networks are a successful example of a collective where communities operate ICT infrastructure and provide IP connectivity based on the principle of reciprocal resource sharing of network bandwidth. This sharing, however, has not extended to computing and storage resources, resulting in very few applications and services which are currently deployed within community networks. Cloud computing, as in today's Internet, has made it common to consume resources provided by public clouds providers, but such cloud infrastructures have not materialized within community networks. We analyse in this paper socio-technical characteristics of community networks in order to derive scenarios for community clouds. Based on an architecture for such a community cloud, we implement a prototype for the incentive-driven resource assignment component, deploy it in a testbed of community network nodes, and evaluate its behaviour experimentally. Our evaluation gives insight into how the deployed prototype components regulate the consumption of cloud resources taking into account the users' contributions, and how this regulation affects the system usage. Our results suggest a further integration of this regulation component into current cloud management platforms in order to open them up for the operation of an ecosystem of community cloud

Support Service for Reciprocal Computational Resource Sharing in Wireless Community Networks

In community networks, individuals and local organizations from a geographic area team up to create and run a community-owned IP network to satisfy the community's demand for ICT, such as facilitating Internet access and providing services of local interest. Most current community networks use wireless links for the node interconnection, applying off-the-shelf wireless equipment. While IP connectivity over the shared network infrastructure is successfully achieved, the deployment of applications in community networks is surprisingly low. To address the solution of this problem, we propose in this paper a service to incentivize the contribution of computing and storage as cloud resources to community networks, in order to stimulate the deployment of services and applications. Our final goal is the vision that in the long term, the users of community networks will not need to consume applications from the Internet, but find them within the wireless community network

Non-Markovian incoherent quantum dynamics of a two-state system

We present a detailed study of the non-Markovian two-state system dynamics for the regime of incoherent quantum tunneling. Using perturbation theory in the system tunneling amplitude $\Delta$, and in the limit of strong system-bath coupling, we determine the short time evolution of the reduced density matrix and thereby find a general equation of motion for the non-Markovian evolution at longer times. We relate the nonlocality in time due to the non-Markovian effects with the environment characteristic response time. In addition, we study the incoherent evolution of a system with a double-well potential, where each well consists several quantized energy levels. We determine the crossover temperature to a regime where many energy levels in the wells participate in the tunneling process, and observe that the required temperature can be much smaller than the one associated with the system plasma frequency. We also discuss experimental implications of our theoretical analysis.Comment: 10 pages, published versio

Development of PAN (personal area network) for Mobile Robot Using Bluetooth Transceiver

In recent years, wireless applications using radio frequency (RF) have been rapidly evolving in personal computing and communications devices. Bluetooth technology was created to replace the cables used on mobile devices. Bluetooth is an open specification and encompasses a simple low-cost, low power solution for integration into devices. This research work aim was to provide a PAN (personal area network) for computer based mobile robot that supports real-time control of four mobile robots from a host mobile robot. With ad hoc topology, mobile robots may request and establish a connection when it is within the range or terminated the connection when it leaves the area. A system that contains both hardware and software is designed to enable the robots to participate in multi-agent robotics system (MARS).

Peran Dinas Sosial dan Pemakaman Kota Pekanbaru dalam Menangani Anak Terlantar Tahun 2013

63277The role of the state in providing services to the community should be based on the basic values of Pancasila social justice for all Indonesian people, including in reducing social welfare issues. under the Act of 1945 in Article 34 Paragraph 1 mentioned the poor and neglected children who are maintained by the state, with this Government Pekanbaru Pekanbaru City Regional Regulation No. 12 Year 2008 concerning the social order in which the regulation is described in Chapter 1 Article 1 Paragraph 20, which reads "Social Guidance is a series of activities to grow, increasing the willingness and ability to target social skills counseling to enable them to carry out their social function normative", and verse 22 which says "Treatment is a process or way of preventive action, repressive and rehabilitative services to homeless and children in order to humanize back bums or beggars and children who have trouble on the streets ". Based on some of the phenomena that occur in the field, the writer can formulate the research title "The Role of Social Service and Pekanbaru City Cemetery In Tackling Neglected Children in 2013". A fundamental problem in this research is the large number of abandoned children who have not been scouted as many as 2750 inhabitants that the authority of the government in this regard is the role of the Department of Social and Pekanbaru City Cemetery, then there are many factors inhibiting the implementation of coaching and training both internally and externally. Theory (approach) that I use as a tool of analysis in this study is the role of theory, policy and coordination. While the methods used in this study is a qualitative method, which seeks to analyze the role and constraints derived from observations and aim to reinforce and strengthen a theory so as to obtain information about the current situation. Data collection techniques in this research is to use the techniques of observation, interviews and documentation. It can be concluded in this study that the role of the Department of Social and Pekanbaru City Cemetery is not working as it should because in reducing waif there are still some good in the process of empowerment and service that has not been optimized in accordance with Regulation 12 of 2008 on the Social Order. Then there are many factors that hinder the role of the Department of Social and Pekanbaru City Cemetery ie Internally form of budget, human resources and infrastructure. As well as external human resources and infrastructure that it is still lacking. So we need to realize that in an effort mengenteskan social welfareJom FISIP Volume. 2 No. 2 Oktober 2015 2issues need seriousness of Pekanbaru City Government for the realization ofsocial welfare for the city of Pekanbaru.Keywords : Role of Government, Neglected Children , Empowerment , Servic

Corotation Resonance and Diskoseismology Modes of Black Hole Accretion Disks

We demonstrate that the corotation resonance affects only some non-axisymmetric g-mode oscillations of thin accretion disks, since it is located within their capture zones. Using a more general (weaker radial WKB approximation) formulation of the governing equations, such g-modes, treated as perfect fluid perturbations, are shown to formally diverge at the position of the corotation resonance. A small amount of viscosity adds a small imaginary part to the eigenfrequency which has been shown to induce a secular instability (mode growth) if it acts hydrodynamically. The g-mode corotation resonance divergence disappears, but the mode magnitude can remain largest at the place of the corotation resonance. For the known g-modes with moderate values of the radial mode number and axial mode number (and any vertical mode number), the corotation resonance lies well outside their trapping region (and inside the innermost stable circular orbit), so the observationally relevant modes are unaffected by the resonance. The axisymmetric g-mode has been seen by Reynolds & Miller in a recent inviscid hydrodynamic accretion disk global numerical simulation. We also point out that the g-mode eigenfrequencies are approximately proportional to m for axial mode numbers |m|>0.Comment: 16 pages, no figures. Submitted to The Astrophysical Journa

The Potentials of Improving Mineral Source Additional Values in Lampung Province – A Prelimanary Study

oai:ojs2.jesr.eng.unila.ac.id:article/2An initial research on non-metal mineral potential was conducted for stones in Lampung Province. Surveys were conducted to some districts/towns in Lampung to take sample materials. Non-metal mineral chemical composition content analysis of stones was conducted with X-RF method. Lampung had mineral potentials of feldspar, zeolite, kaolin, and basalt of 400,500,000 m3; 18,945,000 m3; 9,750,000 m3; 419,071,833 m3 respectively. These mineral source potentials were distributed in eight districts in Lampung. Processing was required to improve additional values for these mineral sources, including crushing, grinding, classifying, and concentration process. Concentration improvements were required for feldspar and kaolin minerals. Wet high intensity magnetic separator process followed by froth flotation process became solutions to reduce high oxide iron content. Feldspar and kaolin could be used for such industries of ceramic, glass, paper, and refractory. Meanwhile, the zeolite mineral from Lampung could be used for agriculture, plantation, and fishery. Basalt stone would have additional values when this was processed into cast basalt, fiber, and ceramic composite
