Abstract: A method of and a computing device for evaluating lighting quality in a geographic region having a plurality of luminaires arranged therein and a road lighting system are disclosed. Each luminaire in the geographic region comprises a tilt sensor arranged for obtaining a tilt angle of the luminaire. The method is performed by a computing device and comprising the steps of: receiving tilt angles of the plurality of luminaires obtained by tilt sensors of the plurality of luminaires, and evaluating lighting quality in the geographic region with reference to a number of parameters derived from the received tilt angles of the plurality of luminaires.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a method and system for evaluating the macro resilience of offshore oil well control equipment. The method for evaluating the macro resilience of offshore oil well control equipment comprises six steps: determining the type and strength of external disaster; calculating the failure rate of components; calculating the recovery rate of the components; modeling the BN for a degradation process; modeling the BN for a maintenance process; and calculating the resilience of the offshore oil well control equipment. A system for evaluating the macro resilience of offshore oil well control equipment comprises an external disaster evaluation module, a component failure rate calculation subsystem, a reliability degradation process simulation module, a fault identification module, a component recovery rate calculation module, a reliability recovery process simulation module, a reliability change curve derivation unit and an resilience calculation unit.

Abstract: A method for estimating service value spaces of wetland ecosystems includes steps of: calculating service values of wetland ecosystems through a hedonic pricing method; and calculating, based on the service values of the wetland ecosystems, a spatial distribution state of the service values of the wetland ecosystems through a breaking point theory and a weighted Voronoi diagram model, and outputting the spatial distribution state.

Abstract: A technique, which involves participation by electronic circuitry of a data storage array, obtains configuration change information from host devices which are constructed and arranged to store data into and load data from the data storage array. In particular, the technique involves receiving a set of change notices from a set of host devices. Each change notice is received by the electronic circuitry of the data storage array when a respective host device of the set of host devices undergoes a configuration change. The technique further involves providing a set of requests from the electronic circuitry of the data storage array to the set of host devices based on the set of change notices. The technique further involves acquiring configuration change information from the set of host devices in response to the set of requests.

Abstract: This invention is a system and method for configuring a data storage system based on workload, response time, or utilization requirements. The method includes the steps of receiving workload, utilization or response time data, analyzing the respective received data, determining a configuration for a data storage system which may be available in report form to a user.
