Summary: The potential of hydroconversion of animal fats has been investigated and validated in an industrially relevant scale. The experimental testing showed that mild hydrotreatment conditions result in low hydrogen consumption and do not significantly affect product quality. The produced fuel has advantages in compression ignition engines and can be blended with fossil diesel, meeting the relevant quality standards. Additionally, a dedicated study on the storage stability of animal fats indicates that they can be stored for several months at ambient conditions.

Summary: In this paper, an inverse-transform-sampling based IMPE (ITS-IMPE) detector is proposed to enhance the convergence rate and accuracy in large-scale multiple-input and multiple-output (LS-MIMO) systems. The detector deduces the closed-form expression of the eigenvalue spectral cumulative distribution function of the channel covariance matrix and introduces improved polynomial coefficients using a fast online ITS-based eigenvalues estimation algorithm and a least-squares fitting procedure. Simulation results show that ITS-IMPE detector achieves significant performance improvement with lower complexity compared to other detectors under Rayleigh fading and low spatial correlated channels.

Summary: In this paper, the efficient caching mechanism for supporting data in vehicular edge computing (VEC) is studied. The acquisition ways of the supporting data and the caching collaboration between VEC servers are analyzed using the software defined network (SDN) based VEC framework. The VEC coverage is divided into dense and ordinary areas based on the density of the requesting vehicles. Edge servers are clustered into multiple groups based on K-means++ algorithm, considering the similarity of the requested data and the distance between servers. An efficient edge-cloud collaborative caching strategy is proposed, which reduces the delay of data migration during task execution.

Summary: In this study, a human activity recognition technique is proposed using convolution neural network (CNN) and bidirectional-gated recurrent unit (Bi-GRU) for visual data processing. Deep features are extracted using CNN from frame sequences of human activity videos, and the most important features are selected to improve performance and reduce computational complexity. Bi-GRU is designed to learn temporal motions of frame sequences, learning temporal dynamics in both forward and backward direction at each time step. Extensive experiments are conducted on realistic videos of human activity recognition datasets YouTube11, HMDB51, and UCF101. The obtained results are compared with existing methods to demonstrate the competence of the proposed technique.
