A TTL-based Approach for Content Placement in Edge Networks

Edge networks are promising to provide better services to users by provisioning computing and storage resources at the edge of networks. However, due to the uncertainty and diversity of user interests, content popularity, distributed network structure, cache sizes, it is challenging to decide where to place the content, and how long it should be cached. In this paper, we study the utility optimization of content placement at edge networks through timer-based (TTL) policies. We propose provably optimal distributed algorithms that operate at each network cache to maximize the overall network utility. Our TTL-based optimization model provides theoretical answers to how long each content must be cached, and where it should be placed in the edge network. Extensive evaluations show that our algorithm significantly outperforms path replication with conventional caching algorithms over some network topologies.

Effect of Si Content on Oxide Formation on Surface of Molten Fe-Cr-C Alloy Bath During Oxygen Top Blowing

Using a direct observation experimental method, the oxide formation behavior on the surface of Fe-Cr-5 mass pct C-Si alloy baths during decarburization by a top-blown Ar-O 2 mixture was studied. The effects of the initial Si and Cr content of the alloy, temperature, and oxygen feed ratio on oxide formation were investigated. The results showed that, for alloys without Si, oxide particles, unstable oxide films, and stable oxide films formed sequentially. The presence of Si in the alloy changed the formation behavior of stable oxide film, and increased the crucial C content when stable oxide film started to form. Increasing the temperature, decreasing the initial Cr content, and increasing the ratio of the diluting gas decreased the critical C content at which a stable oxide film started to form. In addition, the P CO and a Cr 2O 3 values at which oxides started to form were estimated using Hilty’s equation and the equilibrium relation to understand the formation conditions and the role of each parameter in oxide formation.

Analyses of Small Punch Creep Deformation Behavior of 316LN Stainless Steel Having Different Nitrogen Contents

The small punch creep (SPC) behavior of 316LN stainless steel (SS) containing 0.07, 0.11 and 0.14 wt.% nitrogen has been investigated at 923 K. The transient and tertiary SPC deformation of 316LN SS with various nitrogen contents have been analyzed according to the equation proposed for SPC deflection, δ=δ{sub 0}+δ{sub T}(1−e{sup −κt})+ δ-dot {sub s}t+δ{sub 3}e{sup [φ(t−t{sub r})]}. The relationships among the rate of exhaustion of transient creep (κ), steady-state deflection rate ( δ-dot {sub s}) and the rate of acceleration of tertiary creep (φ) revealed the interrelationships among the three stages of SPC curve. The first-order reaction rate theory was found to be applicable to SPC deformation throughout the transient as well as tertiary region, in all the investigated steels. The initial and final creep deflection rates were decreased, whereas time to attain steady-state deflection rate increased with the increase in nitrogen content. By increasing the nitrogen content in 316LN SS from 0.07 to 0.14 wt.%, each stage of SPC was prolonged, and consequently, the values of κ, δ-dot {sub s} and φ were lowered. Using the above parameters, the master curves for both transient and tertiary SPC deflections were constructed for 316LN SS containing different nitrogen contents.

Effect of Boron Content on Hot Ductility and Hot Cracking Susceptibility in 316L Austenitic Stainless Steel for Welding Components

Liquation cracking may occur in the heat-affected zone during welding. Two factors influence this phenomenon: the tensile stresses generated during welding and the potential loss of ductility due to the presence of a liquid film at grain boundaries depending on their chemical composition. Gleeble hot ductility tests have been used to study the combined effect of boron content and holding time on ductility drop in the liquation temperature range of a 316L type austenitic stainless steel. It is shown that high boron contents and short holding times promote the loss of ductility in this temperature range. Secondary ion mass spectrometry has been used to correlate mechanical results to boron distribution either at grain boundaries or in the bulk. Other welding tests have been performed to confirm the influence of boron content on hot cracking sensitivity of AISI 316L stainless steels. Results indicate that cracks appear on all specimens but at different strain levels. The higher the boron content is, the more the specimen exhibits tendency to hot cracking.

Effect of Boron Content on Microstructure, Mechanical Properties, and Oxidation Resistance of Mo-Si-B Composites

Mo-Si-B composites with boron content from 0 to 8 wt.% were prepared by spark plasma sintering using Mo, Si, and B elemental powders. The effects of boron content on the phase composition, mechanical properties, and high-temperature oxidation resistance of the Mo-Si-B composites were investigated. The results show the evolution of the major phase constitution of the composites with increasing boron content is in the following sequence: (MoSi{sub 2}, Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3}) → (MoSi{sub 2}, Mo{sub 5}Si{sub 3}, Mo{sub 5}SiB{sub 2}) → (MoSi{sub 2}, MoB) → (MoSi{sub 2}, MoB, MoB{sub 2}). As the boron content increases, both the hardness and flexural strength of the composites increases, but the fracture toughness of the composites gradually decreases. The strengthening mechanisms for the composites are second-phase strengthening and grain refinement strengthening. However, the formation of brittle phases, i.e., Mo{sub 5}SiB{sub 2}, MoB, and MoB{sub 2}, reduces the toughness of the composites. In addition, since a dense barrier layer of SiO{sub 2}-B{sub 2}O{sub 3} formed on the surface of the composites inhibits the inward diffusion of oxygen, B-doped Mo-Si-B exhibits better oxidation resistance compared with non-doped composites.

Effect of Silicon Content on the Hardenability and Mechanical Properties of Link-Chain Steel

Heavy-section link-chains are increasingly required to satisfy industrial demands of shipping, lifting, and mining machinery. In this study, the hardenability of link-chain steels with different Si contents was investigated using end-quench tests. The microstructures of the end-quenched specimens were examined by x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The mechanical properties were investigated by tension tests and impact tests. The effect of the Si content on the phase-transformation temperature during cooling was analyzed by differential scanning calorimetry. It was found that increasing the Si content from 0.24 to 0.74% led to a significant increase in hardenability; the ideal diameter (i.e., the diameter of given steel that would produce 50% martensite at the center when quenched in a hypothetical quenching medium that reduces the surface temperature of the heated steel to the bath temperature in zero time) increased from 187 to 248 mm. Si enhances the hardenability of link-chain steel by affecting its phase-transition behaviors during cooling, including suppressing ferrite formation, inhibiting carbide precipitation, and lowering the temperature of maximum transformation of bainite. The suggested Si content is 0.70-0.75% to produce link-chain steel with high hardenability and good mechanical properties.

Effect of Martensite Content on Failure Behavior of Laser Welded Dual-Phase Steel Joints During Deformation

Laser welding was applied to three types of dual-phase (DP) steel sheets (DP590, DP780, and DP980) with different martensite contents. The microstructure of laser welded joints was observed by optical microscope and scanning electron microscope, and the hardness of welded joints was measured by a microhardness tester. The tensile testing machine and the Erichsen test machine were employed to measure the tensile properties and forming properties of welded joints, respectively. The microstructure model showed that the welded joints of three different materials all contained a hardened zone (HZ) that was composed of a fusion zone, a coarse-grained heat-affected zone, and fine-grained heat-affected zone. The microstructure of the HZ contained mainly martensite such that the average martensite content of welded joints was increased by 1.9-9.8%, and the microhardness of the HZ was 1.2-1.9 times that of the base metal (BM). Moreover, the elongation of welded joints decreased with decreasing martensite content in the BM, and the effect was severe for the DP590 welded joint (21.8%) compared to the other two welded joints. During the Erichsen test, deformation failure varied among the welded joints with different martensite contents, and it was determined by the HZ and softened zone. The fracture occurred in the softened zone and ran parallel along the zone for DP980 welded joints, whereas the fracture occurred in the HZ and ran perpendicular to this zone for the other two welded joints. The Erichsen values of the DP590, DP780, and DP980 welded joints were 81.1, 91.7, and 85.0% of the BM, respectively.

Effect of Molybdenum Content on Structural, Mechanical, and Tribological Properties of Hot Isostatically Pressed β-Type Titanium Alloys for Orthopedic Applications

Aiming to develop alloys with better properties for orthopedic applications, the focus of the present research was to evaluate the effect of Mo at.% content on structural, mechanical, and tribological properties of hot isostatically pressed Ti-xMo (x = 4, 8, 12, 15, and 20 at.%) alloys. The structural evolution, mechanical properties, and tribological behavior of the nanostructured Ti-xMo alloys were evaluated using x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope, and ball-on-disk tribometer. Wear tests were conducted under different applied loads of 2, 8, and 16 N. Experimental results indicated that the structural evolution and morphological changes of the milled alloys were sensitive to their molybdenum (Mo) content. The morphological characterization showed that the crystallite size and the particle size decreased with increasing Mo content (at.%) reaching the lowest values of 27 and 26 nm in the case of Ti-15Mo and Ti-20Mo, respectively. On the other hand, the coefficient of friction and wear rates were found to be decreasing with increasing Mo content.

Reduction of water content in calcium aluminate cement with/out phosphate modification for alternative cementation technique

Cementation of the secondary aqueous wastes from TEPCO Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant is challenging due to the significant strontium content and radioactivity, leading to a potential risk of hydrogen gas generation via radiolysis of water content. The present study investigates the reduction of water content in calcium aluminate cement (CAC) with/out phosphate modification by a heat-treatment during the solidification. The reduction of water in the CAC was found restricted by the rapid formation of crystalline hydration phases, whereas the phosphate-modified system allowed the gradual reduction of water, achieving the reduction of 60% water content at 95 °C. Curing at 60–95 °C also eliminated the significant cracks found at 35 °C in the phosphate system. The possible difference in the amorphous products, NaCaPO{sub 4}·nH{sub 2}O type at 35°C and Ca(HPO{sub 4})·xH{sub 2}O type at 60–95 °C, may have contributed to the improvement in the microstructure together with the change in the pore size distribution.

Anion exchange membranes based on (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTA) and phenyl Acrylate: Impact of crosslinker and crosslinker content on physiochemical properties and transport behavior of acetate and formate

CO 2 reduction cells are innovative devices that convert CO 2 into valuable chemicals, such as formate (OFm - ) and acetate (OAc - ), at the cathode. One of the key challenges in these devices is the development of ion exchange membranes that enable the transport of charge carriers between electrodes while minimizing the transfer of CO 2 reduction products. This study focuses on the preparation and characterization of crosslinked anion exchange membranes (AEMs) made of phenyl acrylate (PA) and (3-acrylamidopropyl) trimethylammonium chloride (APTA), crosslinked with either poly(ethylene glycol) diacrylate (PEGDA) or N,N’-methylenebisacrylamide (MBAA). Here, the membranes are characterized to understand their physiochemical properties and corresponding transport behavior through characterization of water volume fraction, mechanical properties, ionic conductivity, ion exchange capacity, water contact angle, glass transition temperature as well as their permeability and solubility to formate and acetate. MBAA crosslinked membranes exhibit higher Young’s modulus and lower strain at break compared to PEGDA-crosslinked membranes, which is attributed to their shorter chain length. Within a series of membranes of varied comonomer content, for either PEGDA or MBAA as crosslinker, permeabilities generally follow free volume theory (increasing permeability with increasing water content where water content increases with decreasing crosslinker content). Interestingly, for membranes with different crosslinkers but analogous water volume fraction significant differences (∼2 orders of magnitude) in permeability are observed which we attribute to differences in chain mobility as characterized through the glass transition temperature.

The impact of depth-dependent water content on steady state weathering and eroding systems

Models for weathering and regolith formation are normally built on the assumption of constant rates of water advection in the zone of water-saturated pores, and constant water content of those pores, but it is common that weathering occurs in the water-unsaturated zone where lateral flow occurs. Hence, water content in pores varies with depth. Here we model mineral weathering profiles while accounting for depth-dependent water content. Like previous models, a mineral equilibrates with water over a length ξ that depends on dissolution and advection rates, but a new lengthscale λ is introduced to describe the decrease of water content with depth. Steady states of the regolith thickness can be attained for any finite λ and non-zero velocity v E of erosion at the land surface. The type of mineral depletion profile developed over geological timescales depends on coupling between weathering and erosion: for slow erosion, a completely developed profile (CDP) is observed, in which the mineral-depleted zone at the top of the regolith has thickness of order λ ; as v E increases, there is a transition to an incompletely developed profile (IDP), in which partial mineral depletion at the land surface is constrained to a narrow range of velocities; when v E exceeds the advance rate of weathering under far from equilibrium conditions, the profile transitions to an unstable regime that exposes bedrock. In general, the reaction front (RF) thickness and the velocity where CPD transitions to IDP depend on the interplay of both water infiltration and chemical equilibration over the timescale of water residence in regolith. The RF thickness roughly equals a correlation length χ defined as half the harmonic average of ξ and λ . In cases of limited water infiltration, water-mineral equilibration is achieved within the length λ , so that the RF thickness is controlled by hydrological properties and is independent of dissolution and advection rates. In the opposite endmember, water infiltrates to large depths and the effects of physical and chemical parameters on RF thickness are the same as in previous geochemical models. The relaxation time for reaching a steady state is shown to be ~ χ / v E . We discuss the effects of physical and chemical parameters in CDPs and IDPs in those endmembers and show an application to a CDP in granitic regolith.

Estimation of terpene content in loblolly pine biomass using a hybrid fast-GC and pyrolysis-molecular beam mass spectrometry method

Terpenes can be used as renewable fuels and chemicals and quantifying their presence in biomass is becoming increasingly important. A novel method was developed to rapidly quantify total diterpenoid resin acids using pyrolysis-molecular beam mass spectrometry (py-MBMS). Pine sapling monoterpenes and diterpenoids were extracted from wood using a 1:1 (v/v) mixture of hexane and acetone and analyses were performed before and after extraction to determine the extraction efficiency of the solvent system. The resulting extract was analyzed for total diterpenoid content using py-MBMS and was combined with total monoterpene content that was determined using a low thermal mass modular accelerated column heater (LTM MACH) fast-GC/FID to measure the terpene content present in pine saplings. Oleoresin extruded from larger pine trees was used to validate mass balance closure of the terpene content in the extract solvent.

Influence of gadolinium content on the tetragonal to cubic phase transition in zirconia-silica binary oxides

The present study reports the effect of gadolinium (Gd{sup 3+}) in zirconia-silica (ZrO{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2}) binary oxides. The pure ZrO{sub 2}-SiO{sub 2} synthesized at 1100 °C was tetragonal. The addition of Gd{sup 3+} in the concentration range of 5%–10% resulted in the formation of t-ZrO{sub 2}, whereas higher contents of Gd{sup 3+} led to the formation of cubic ZrO{sub 2} (c-ZrO{sub 2}). The presence of Gd{sup 3+} also affected the lattice parameters of both t-ZrO{sub 2} and c-ZrO{sub 2}. Magnetic studies confirmed a steady increase in the paramagnetic behaviour with increasing content of Gd{sup 3+}. - Graphical abstract: t-ZrO{sub 2} to c-ZrO{sub 2} phase transition influenced by Gd{sup 3+} content. - Highlights: • Sol-gel synthesis of Gd{sup 3+} added SiO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} binary oxides. • Significant role of Gd{sup 3+} content in the tetragonal and cubic stabilization of ZrO{sub 2}. • Phase stability of either tetragonal or cubic stabilization till 1100 °C. • Gd{sup 3+} additions ensured additional paramagnetic behaviour in SiO{sub 2}-ZrO{sub 2} binary oxide.

Magnetically separable mesoporous Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/silica catalysts with very low Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} content

Two magnetically separable Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2} (aerogel and MSU-X) composites with very low Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} content (<1 wt%) have been successfully prepared at room temperature by co-condensation of MPTES-functionalized Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} nanoparticles (NPs) with a silicon alkoxide. This procedure yields a homogeneous incorporation of the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} NPs on silica supports, leading to magnetic composites that can be easily recovered using an external magnetic field, despite their very low Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} NPs content (ca. 1 wt%). These novel hybrid Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2} materials have been tested for the oxidation reaction of 3,3′,5,5′-tetramethylbenzidine (TMB) with hydrogen peroxide showing an enhancement of the stability of the NPs in the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/silica aerogel as compared to the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} NPs alone, even after five catalytic cycles, no leaching or agglomeration of the Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/SiO{sub 2} systems. - Graphical abstract: Novel magnetically separable mesoporous silica-based composites with very low magnetite content. - Highlights: • An innovative way to prepare magnetically separable composites with <1 wt% NPs. • The Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/silica composites are readily magnetized/demagnetized. • The Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4}/silica composites can be easily recovered using an external magnetic field. • Excellent catalytic performance and recyclability despite the low Fe{sub 3}O{sub 4} NPs content.

Influence of Sc content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Al-2Li-2Cu-0.5Mg-0.2Zr alloy

Highlights: • The grain size was continuously reduced with the increasing Sc content. • No evidence for the formation of the Cu-rich and Sc-containing W phase was observed. • Sc addition could promote the precipitation of S′ in the absence of pre-age stretch. • Sc addition would reduce the growth rate of δ′ and δ′-PFZs. • The highest combinations of strength and ductility were obtained in cast Al-Li alloys. - Abstract: In this work, the influence of Sc content on the microstructure and mechanical properties of cast Al-2Li-2Cu-0.5Mg-0.2Zr alloy was investigated. It was found that the grain size of As-cast alloy was significantly reduced in steps with the increase of Sc addition, accompanied by the arising and increasing of cubic primary Al{sub 3}(Sc, Zr) phases. No evidence for the presence of the ternary W (Al{sub 8−x}Cu{sub 4+x}Sc) phase was obtained. The volume fraction of nanoscale Al{sub 3}(Sc, Zr) dispersoids was improved with the increase of Sc content, and the presence of Sc was observed to refine the S′ (Al{sub 2}CuMg) morphology during ageing. The addition of Sc lowered the growth rates of δ′ (Al{sub 3}Li) particles and δ′-Precipitate-free zones (δ′-PFZs) of the base alloy. The tensile property results showed that, with the increasing Sc content and ageing times, the yield strength (YS) and ultimate tensile strength (UTS) were continuously increased, and the highest elongation of 6.0% was obtained in the 0.2Sc-containing alloy aged for 32 h at 175 °C. The results indicated that the optimal Sc addition in cast Al-2Li-2Cu-0.5Mg-0.2Zr alloy was 0.2 wt%.

Erbium-doped borosilicate glasses containing various amounts of P{sub 2}O{sub 5} and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3}: Influence of the silica content on the structure and thermal, physical, optical and luminescence properties

Highlights: • Er{sup 3+} doped borosilicate glasses were processed with different compositions and characterizations. • An increase in the SiO{sub 2} content leads to a silicate-rich environment around the Er{sup 3+} site. • An increase in the SiO{sub 2} content decreases the Er{sup 3+} absorption cross-section at 980 nm. • Glasses with 60 mol% of SiO{sub 2} exhibit a stronger emission intensity at 1530 nm than glasses with x = 50. • Highest 1.5 μm emission intensity was achieved for the Al and P containing glass with 60 mol% of SiO{sub 2}. - Abstract: The influence of the silica content on several properties of Er-doped borosilicate glasses in the presence of various amounts of P{sub 2}O{sub 5} and Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} has been investigated. The introduction of P{sub 2}O{sub 5} and/or Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} are responsible for structural modifications in the glass network through a charge-compensation mechanism related to the formation of negatively-charged PO{sub 4} and AlO{sub 4} groups or through the formation of AlPO{sub 4}-like structural units. In this paper, we show that an increase in the SiO{sub 2} content leads to a silicate-rich environment around the Er{sup 3+} site, resulting in an increased dependence of the Er{sup 3+} ions optical and luminescence properties on the P{sub 2}O{sub 5} and/or Al{sub 2}O{sub 3} concentration. The highest emission intensity at 1.5 μm was achieved for the glass with an equal proportion of P and Al in the glass system with 60 mol% of SiO{sub 2}.

Influence of nitrogen content levels on structural properties and photocatalytic activities of nanorice-like N-doped TiO2 with various calcination temperatures

Highlights: • Hydrothermal method enhances the integration of N species into TiO{sub 2}. • TiO{sub 2} doping with nitrogen prevents the phase transformation from anatase to rutile. • The N-doped TiO{sub 2} exhibits nanorice-like morphology. • Nitrogen atom incorporates into the lattice of TiO{sub 2} with interstitial site (TiON). • Nitrogen doping content in TiO{sub 2} accelerates the kinetic rate of photocatalytic reaction. - Abstract: The purposes of this research were to study the effect of nitrogen content levels on structural properties and photocatalytic activities of catalysts with various calcination temperatures and to test the photocatalytic degradation of paraquat under UV and visible light. The results showed that the effect of calcination temperature was significant on physical properties and amount of nitrogen element, but insignificant on phase structure and oxidation state of titanium (Ti) atom. The N-doped TiO2 samples demonstrated only anatase phase because nitrogen dopant in TiO2 restrained the phase transformation from anatase to rutile and displayed nanorice-like morphology. The bandgap energy was about 3.07–3.18 eV. The nitrogen content was only observed at 100, 300 and 400 °C. The nitrogen (N) atom can be incorporated in TiO2 structural lattice with interstitial site. The specific surface area and nitrogen content level showed the important roles for the photodegradation of paraquat under UV and visible light irradiation.

Implications of carbon content for the processing, stability, and mechanical properties of cast and wrought Ni-based superalloy Nimonic 105

As the temperature and pressure requirements in land-based turbines for power generation increase, the shift towards more advanced alloys, e.g., Ni-based superalloys, requires improved understanding of their long-term stability and mechanical properties. Additionally, the larger size of the components also presents fabrication and cost-reduction problems. In this study, we investigated Nimonic 105 as a potential rotor material at two carbon content levels – the commonly used maximum of the alloy specification and a lower carbon content variant. Reducing the carbon content presented fabrication challenges, resulting in surface crack formation during hot working. Additionally, a lower M 6 C carbide fraction was present after fabrication/solutioning, leading to a significantly larger grain size. After the standard aging treatment, similar γ' populations formed in the two variants, however the M 6 C carbides in the high-carbon variant already started transforming to intergranular M 23 C 6 . Although we did not observe a noticeable effect on the tensile properties of the two variants, the lower carbon content alloy possessed a superior creep property – mainly due to the larger grain size as the microstructural stability was inferior. Further, upon prolonged thermal exposure, the M 6 C carbides in the low-carbon variant further decomposed to intergranular and intragranular σ and μ precipitates, as opposed to mainly M 23 C 6 as in the high-carbon variant.
