TCP/IP networks are the backbone of the Internet today, and browser/server is the mainstream web architecture on it. Recently, Content-Centric Networking (CCN) has emerged as a clean-slate future network architecture, with totally different protocols than a host-based TCP/IP network. However, current web servers are mainly designed for HTTP over a TCP/IP network and can not directly support CCN-based web applications. Therefore, how to effectively support the dominant browser-based web applications is a key to the success of CCN. Instead of providing a transitional HTTP/CCN transforming gateway or proxy, we design and develop the first practical CCN-enabled web server (called CCNxTomcat) based on open source Apache Tomcat and the CCNx library to natively support CCN-based web applications. The CCN functions are integrated into the web server for content distribution by seamlessly coordinating with the underlying CCN network. To support legacy applications and a smooth evolution from an IP network to CCN, CCNxTomcat also supports the HTTP protocol besides the CCN. Experimental results show that CCNxTomcat outperforms the existing HTTP/CCN proxy implementations by 58% in a single request, and by a factor of three in 1000 concurrent requests, in terms of throughput. Furthermore, we design and implement a novel cache (called ccncache) for the Setvlet response, performing name lookups for Content Packets with a high efficiency. The results indicate that ccncache is 2.5 times faster than the existing CCNx Content Store, with only 30% additional memory consumption. In addition, a real CCN-based web application is deployed on a CCN experimental network, which validates the applicability of CCNxTomcat. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Wei Tan, Annai Liu, Shaohua Xie, Yong Yan, Thomas E. Shaw, Yu Pu, Kai Guo, Lulu Li, Shuohan Yu, Fei Gao, Fudong Liu, Lin Dong

Summary: Investigating catalytic reaction mechanisms can guide catalyst design, as demonstrated by the innovative CeO2-SiO2 mixed oxide catalyst (CeSi2) with excellent SO2/H2O resistance in harsh working conditions. The strong Ce-O-Si interaction and abundant surface hydroxyl groups on CeSi2 provide active acid sites and inhibit SO2 adsorption, enhancing the NH3-SCR performance through an enhanced Eley-Rideal mechanism. This work offers a strategy to develop an environmentally friendly NH3-SCR catalyst with superior SO2 resistance.

Revealing the effect of paired redox-acid sites on metal oxide catalysts for efficient NOx removal by NH3-SCR

Wei Tan, Chunying Wang, Shuohan Yu, Yaobin Li, Shaohua Xie, Fei Gao, Lin Dong, Fudong Liu

Summary: The study revealed that the NH3-SCR activity of Nb2O5-CeO2 and WO3-CeO2 catalysts depends significantly on the strong interaction between the redox component (CeO2) and acidic component (Nb2O5 or WO3), as well as the presence of paired redox-acid sites. At lower temperatures (200 degrees Celsius), NH3-SCR activity is primarily influenced by the surface acidity of the catalysts, while at higher NOx conversion rates, the activity is more determined by the redox properties.

Wei Tan, Shaohua Xie, Xin Wang, Chunying Wang, Yaobin Li, Thomas E. Shaw, Lu Ma, Steven N. Ehrlich, Annai Liu, Jiawei Ji, Fei Gao, Lin Dong, Fudong Liu

Summary: The study focuses on the improvement of Pt-CeO2 catalysts by designing new ceria-based supports. Through a unique T-IWI method, a Pt single site catalyst with excellent thermal stability was synthesized on a CZA-T support. The catalyst showed higher oxidation activity and Oxygen storage capacity (OSC) compared to traditional Pt catalysts on regular CeO2/Al2O3 and one-step prepared CeZrOx/Al2O3 supports. The higher Pt dispersion and stronger Pt-O-Ce interaction on the CZA-T support played a vital role in the CO oxidation performance and OSC of the catalyst.

Copper Single Atom-Triggered Niobia-Ceria Catalyst for Efficient Low-Temperature Reduction of Nitrogen Oxides

Shaohua Xie, Wei Tan, Yuejin Li, Lu Ma, Steven N. Ehrlich, Jiguang Deng, Peng Xu, Fei Gao, Lin Dong, Fudong Liu

Summary: In this study, an efficient NbCuCe oxide catalyst for reducing NOx emissions in cold-start diesel engines is reported. The catalyst exhibits higher DeNO(x) activity below 200 degrees C compared to the Cu-CHA zeolite catalyst, along with superior sulfur resistance, faster response, and lower NH3 slip. Atomically dispersed Cu species facilitate strong interaction between Cu and the Nb/Ce base catalyst, leading to improved low-temperature redox properties and NH3 adsorption/activation. The developed NbCuCe catalyst shows promising potential for efficient DeNO(x) in cold-start diesel engines and can be combined with Cu-CHA for a broader temperature range of operation.

Fabricating Robust Pt Clusters on Sn-Doped CeO2 for CO Oxidation: A Deep Insight into Support Engineering and Surface Structural Evolution

Qinglong Liu, Peng Yang, Wei Tan, Haowei Yu, Jiawei Ji, Cong Wu, Yandi Cai, Shaohua Xie, Fudong Liu, Song Hong, Kaili Ma, Fei Gao, Lin Dong

Summary: The size effect on nanoparticles plays a crucial role in catalysis performance. Tuning the oxygen vacancies on a metal-oxide support can help reduce the size of Pt particles, thus improving the catalysis performance of the supported catalyst. In this study, Ce-Sn solid solutions (CSO) with abundant oxygen vacancies were synthesized. After CO reduction, the catalytic CO oxidation performance of Pt/CSO was significantly better than that of Pt/CeO2. This improvement was attributed to the creation of smaller Pt clusters on CSO with more exposed active sites.

Mitigating the impact of controller failures on QoS robustness for software-defined wide area networks

Songshi Dou, Li Qi, Zehua Guo

Summary: Emerging cloud services and applications have different QoS requirements for the network. SD-WANs play a crucial role in QoS provisioning by introducing network programmability, dynamic flow routing, and low data transmission latency. However, controller failures may degrade QoS. To address this, we propose PREDATOR, a QoS-aware network programmability recovery scheme that achieves fine-grained per-flow remapping without introducing extra delays, ensuring QoS robustness for high-priority flows.
