云计算数据中心服务器数量动态配置策略

云计算数据中心由通过高速网络连接的大量服务器构成,一种有效的节能措施是维持与系统负载成比例的活跃服务器数量同时切换剩余服务器到空闲模式,由此分别产生操作能耗和切换能耗。该文研究如何动态配置活跃服务器数量以最小化数据中心能耗(操作与切换能耗之和)的问题。首先,建立了问题的NP数学模型,并分析了无切换能耗情况下最优解的特性;其次,通过消除整数动态规划的递推过程,推导具有多项式复杂度的最优静态算法;最后,采用对未来负载的最坏预测结果作为约束制定了优化在线策略。仿真结果表明,所提出的静态最优和动态优化策略能够适应外界负载的剧烈变化趋势始终谨慎调整活跃服务器和休眠服务器的比例,以接近最优的能耗代价维持数据中心的平稳运行。

Cloud Point Extraction Preconcentration of Trace Cadmium as 1-Phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone Complex and Determination by Flame Atomic Absorption Spectrometry

A new method for the determination of trace cadmium in water samples by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS) after cloud point extraction (CPE) is proposed. The method is based on the complexation of Cd with 1-phenyl-3-methyl-4-benzoyl-5-pyrazolone (PMBP) in the presence of non-ionic micelles of Triton X-100. The effect of experimental conditions such as pH, concentration of chelating agent and surfactant, equilibration temperature and time on cloud point extraction was studied. Under the optimum conditions, the detection limits are 0.64 ng mL^±1 with relative standard deviations (RSDs) of 2.1% (n = 10). The proposed method was applied to the determination of trace cadmium in water samples with satisfactory results.     

有机酸对非离子型表面活性剂浊点的影响

有机酸对非离子表面活性剂TritonX-100浊点的影响与酸的亲水性能、空间效应及其在胶束中的增溶位置有关。直链一元酸的加入均使浊点下降,且酸的碳链越长影响越大。直链二元酸对TritonX-100浊点下降的影响小于直链一元酸,且碳原子数nc<6时,使得浊点略有升高;nc≥6时,使得浊点下降。由于空间位阻作用,支链酸和取代酸使TritonX-100浊点降低幅度较小。     

Micellization and Clouding Phenomenon of Phenothiazine Drug Promethazine Hydrochloride: Effect of NaCl and Urea Addition

Herein we report the micellization and clouding behavior of promethazine hydrochloride (PMT) in absence and presence of NaCl/ureas. The critical micelle concentration (CMC) of PMT is measured by conductivity method and the values decrease with increasing the NaCl concentration. With increasing the temperature, the CMC first increases then decreases. At 25°C, the maximum CMC values were obtained (with or without NaCl). The thermodynamic parameters are evaluated which indicate more stability of the PMT solution in presence of NaCl. PMT shows phase separation also. The cloud point (CP) of PMT decreases with increase in pH due to deprotonation of the drug molecules. Ureas decreased the CP and the behavior is explained on the basis of removal of water from the head group region.     

Depression in the cloud point of Tween in the presence of glycol additives and triblock polymers

Cloud point (C_P) measurements of Tween 20 and Tween 80 were carried out in the presence of various glycol oligomers and triblock polymers (TBP). The cloud points of both Tween 20 and 80 decrease in the presence of both types of additives. Among the glycol oligomeric additives, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether was found to reduce the C_P maximum. An increase in the repeating units of polymeric glycol additives leads to a decrease in C_P. Reduction in the C_P in the presence of TBP depends upon the increase in hydrophobic/hydrophilic ratio among the polypropylene to polyethylene units.     

Thermosensitive poly(methyl methacrylate) emulsion prepared in the presence of poly(vinyl alcohol) with a cloud point as a protective colloid

An emulsion of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was prepared using poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) of low degree of hydrolysis with a cloud point as a protective colloid. The behaviour of an aqueous solution of PVA with 80% degree of hydrolysis was first investigated in terms of the Huggins constant in viscometry. MMA was polymerized using the PVA at 20 °C, where no abnormality in the aqueous PVA was observed. The change in transmittance of the emulsion observed with a UV–vis photometer revealed that in the case of UV light of wavelength 370 nm, the transmittance decreased markedly at around 30 °C with an increase in temperature, and then increased with a decrease in temperature. The thermosensitive property resulted from PVA with a low degree of hydrolysis with a cloud point, at a higher temperature of which the PVA loses solubility in water owing to weakening of the hydrogen bond between PVA molecules and water.     

Taguchi OA16 orthogonal array design for the optimization of cloud point extraction for selenium determination in environmental and biological samples by tungsten-modified tube electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry

Orthogonal array design (OAD) was applied for the first time to optimize cloud point extraction (CPE) conditions for Se(IV) determination by electrothermal atomic absorption spectrometry (ETAAS) in environmental and biological samples. Selenium was reacted with o-phenylenediamine to form piazselenol in an acidic medium (pH 2). Using Triton X-114, as surfactant, piazselenol was quantitatively extracted into small volume (about 30 μL) of the surfactant-rich phase after centrifugation. Five relevant factors, i.e. surfactant concentration, pH, ionic strength, equilibrium time and temperature were selected and the effects of each factor were studied at four levels on the extraction efficiency of Se(IV) and optimized. The statistical analysis revealed that the most important factors contributing to the extraction efficiency are ionic strength, pH and percent of surfactant. Based on the results obtained from the analysis of variance (ANOVA), the optimum conditions for extraction were established as: pH 6; vial temperature = 50 °C; extraction time = 7 min and 0.3% (w/v) of Triton X-114. The method was permitted to obtain a detection limit of 0.09 ng mL⁻¹ and two linear calibration ranges from 0.6 to 1.0 and 1.0 to 80.0 ng mL⁻¹ Se. The precision (%RSD) of the extraction and determination for the six replicates of Se at 20 ng mL⁻¹ was better than 3.6% and the enrichment factor of 63.5 was achieved. The studied analyte was successfully extracted and determined with high efficiency using cloud point extraction method in water and biological matrices.     

Spectrometric studies on the cloud points of Triton X-405

The effect of various chemicals on the cloud point (CP) of nonionic surfactant Triton X-405 (TX-405) in aqueous solutions has been investigated. In the measurements of cloud point temperatures, UV–visible spectrophotometer was used instead of visual observation. The values of CP for Triton X-405 could not be measured directly because TX-405 had an average number of oxyethylene units per molecule, p ≈ 35 and a CP > 100 °C. To avoid additional measurements under pressure, TX-405 had their CP lowered below the normal boiling point of their solutions by adding the salting-out, CP-lowering salts at various concentrations, measuring the depressed CP values and extrapolating them to zero salt concentration. The CP values decrease linearly with increasing concentration of salts at studied concentrations. The results showed that the addition of the simple salts and nonionic surfactant Triton X-114 (TX-114) which are infinitely miscible with water decreased the cloud point of the TX-405. In this study, the real CP values of TX-405 which are merely listed as >100 °C in the literature was found as 116 ± 1 °C in various samples. In the lyotropic series, it is expected that the effect of F⁻ > Cl⁻ > Br⁻ will be on the decrease in CP, because the ionic sizes increase along the group consequently decreasing the formal charge density on anion, thus lowering the attraction on anion and thereby lowering the attraction of water. The order of CP depression for the other anions is as follows: PO₄³⁻ > SO₄²⁻ > NO₃⁻ > Br⁻. This means that electrolyte containing trivalent anions is more effective at salting-out the PEO chain than those containing divalent anions and monovalent anions. Cations effectiveness is present in the following order for change: Na⁺ > K⁺ > NH₄⁺ because of their effect on water structure and their hydrophilicity. Overall the electrolytes and nonelectrolytes have a large amount of effect on CP of nonionic surfactant, because of their effect on water structure and their hydrophilicity.
