Rationale for using the capacity method to assess the blending irregularity of heterogeneous textiles by Danila A. Yasneu, Dzmitry B. Ryklin

“…The quality improvement of blended textiles is an urgent task, because when they are developed from the blends of fibers that often have different natures, and, accordingly, physical and mechanical properties, it is very important to achieve uniformity of the manufactured products in composition and characteristics. To date, existing methods for determining the blending irregularity of materials are quite labor-intensive. …”

Routing optimization method based on GPCR for vehicular Ad Hoc network by Zhiru GU, Min LI, Yonghong LONG, Xiaohua SHU, Qing RONG

“…To improve the performance in sparse networks,local optimum,and routing loop in the greedy perimeter coordinator routing (GPCR) protocol,the weighted-GPCR (W-GPCR) protocol was proposed.The relationship between vehicle node routing and other parameters such as the Euclidean distance between node pairs,moving direction and density was profoundly analyzed,the composite parameter weighted model was established and the calculation method was designed for the existing routing problems,the weighted parameter ratio was selected adaptively in different scenarios,so as to obtain the optimal next-hop relay node.In order to verify the performance of the W-GPCR method,the proposed method was compared with the existing methods such as the traditional geographic perimeter stateless routing (GPSR) protocol,GPCR and so on,and the results show that the proposed method is superior to the package delivery ratio,end-to-end delay,and average hop count.…”
