The Difference

Dynamic Energy Budget software aims to identify simple quantitative rules for the organization of metabolism of individual organisms. It is always used to delineate reserves, as separate from structure. The energy density of Eriocheir sinensis was studied through DEB software in this paper. The results showed that Hepatopancreas energy density (32.17±3.77 KJ/g) was higher than gonad (23.19±2.86KJ/g), muscle (24.41±1.41 KJ/g) and carapace energy density (14.42±1.76 KJ/g). The difference between gonad (23.19±2.86KJ/g) and muscle energy density (4.41±1.41 KJ/g) of females and males was significant (P < 0.01), but not between muscle and carapace energy density (P > 0.05), and no difference between female and male individual in total energy (P = 0.887) at the stable stage. The linear relation between volume and weight of Eriocheir sinensis was gained by using regression analysis, V=6.104+1.117WW (R2=0.973, n=98), and the linear relation between total energy and dry weight was also gained, E=18.12DW-28.05 (R2=0.962 ,n=24).

AbstractAn energy budget was evaluated for the bertha army worm, Mamestra configurata (Walker), over its life cycle. Cumulative values for the budget at the end of larval development were: ingestion, 2124 cal; respiration, 372 cal; production, 485 cal; and egestion, 1266 cal. The sixth instar larva accounted for 80.1, 83.2, 81.3, and 78.8% of the total energy in ingestion, respiration, production, and egestion, respectively, during its development. Assimilation efficiency varied from 35.5 to 44.4% with a mean of 40.6%, gross production efficiency varied from 16.6 to 23.8% with a mean of 21.3%, and net production efficiency varied from 37.5 to 61.3% with a mean of 52.7%.

Locality Principle

In this work, we propose an approximate and energy-efficient CORDIC method, based on a trigonometric function spatial locality principle derived from benchmarks profiling. Successive sine/cosine computation requests cover more than 50% when the absolute phase difference is at most ten degrees. Consequently, this property suggests an optimized circuit implementation, both iterative or a succession of microrotation modules, where the last CORDIC requires fewer iterations, reducing the latency and the total energy budget at the same precision of two separate and independent instances. Thus, this simple design strategy allows significant area and energy dissipation in general-purpose VLSI architectures, but it introduces also dramatically optimizations in applicationspecific embedded systems used in the area of signal processing and radio frequency communication. In this contribution, we introduce a method, the hardware overhead and the energy budget per single cycle. Simulation results show the total energy saving in considered benchmarks is 40% in pipelined and iterative general purposes CORDIC. Furthermore, our application-specific systems (fast Fourier transform and digital oscillators for radiofrequency down conversions) show remarkable cycle savings when the successive sine/cosine computation requests are more than 70%. Finally, in this work, we extend the proposed approach to whichever phase difference less than 26.56° , as a variable for the second CORDIC number of angle rotations.

Respiration Rates

The respiration rate of Sagitta elegans in Bedford Basin, Nova Scotia, was found to be significantly different at different times of the year. Respiration rates were lower in summer and fall than during spring because the animals acclimated to warmer temperatures as the year progressed. The annual energy expenditure by respiration of the S. elegans population in St. Margaret's Bay, Nova Scotia, was equal to the net yearly production of the population; the calculated minimum ingested energy for this population was estimated to be between 13.2 and 20.0 kcal 100−3 year−1, or about 0.7–1.1% of the estimated total energy produced annually by copepods in the Bay. S. elegans probably has its greatest impact on the zooplankton community in St. Margaret's Bay during winter and early spring, when its biomass is greatest and its energy of respiration per unit volume of water is highest.

Electrical Consumption

The purpose of this study is to assess the carbon footprint emission at UiTM Perak, Seri Iskandar Campus. The assessment focuses on electrical power and transportation usage. Questionnaires were distributed to the staffs and students to survey their transportation usage in the year 2014 while for electrical consumption, the study used total energy consumed in the year 2014. Data was calculating with the formula by Green House Gas Protocol. Total carbon footprint produced by UiTM Perak, Seri Jskandar Campus in the year 2014 is 11842.09 MTC02' The result of the study is hoped to provide strategies for the university to reduce the carbon footprint emission.
