We refute a physical model, recently proposed by Gunn, Allison and Abbott (GAA) [http://arxiv.org/pdf/1402.2709v2.pdf], to utilize electromagnetic waves for eavesdropping on the Kirchhoff-law–Johnson-noise (KLJN) secure key distribution. Their model, and its theoretical underpinnings, is found to be fundamentally flawed because their assumption of electromagnetic waves violates not only the wav...

abstract: one the most important problems in recent sensitive loads is the quality of voltage. for this challenge custom power devices are used in distribution systems. dynamic voltage restorer (dvr) is a custom power device that improves voltage, decrease power distortion, filter harmonics and balance distributed generations (dgs) with low voltage distribution system. in this paper, a new algo...

Evaluating agricultural land management practices requires knowledge of soil spatial variability and understanding their relationships. Spatial distributions for fourteen soil physical and chemical properties were examined in a wheat field in Sorkhankalateh district, in Golestan province, Iran. 101 soil samples at the distances of 5m, 10m and 20m as nested grid were collected at the depth of 0-...

How do social interactions in fictional words? Here we show that network theory can be used to systematically and quantitatively analyse relationships among noble houses and how the web of alliances and conflicts changes over time in the fantasy drama TV series Game of Thrones. Network analysis proved to be a powerful tool in capturing structures and dynamics of the story. Degree distribution a...

the process of spatial distribution of urban services in order to provide equitable access to opportunities and reduced regional disparities, and earning the highest citizen satisfaction are among the main challenges facing urban management. this requires knowledge of the current status of spatial distribution of public services in the city, followed by optimal resource allocation under varying...

in recent years, the studies of location play a key role in success and stability of economic activities. location studies are under consideration in both national and international levels. meanwhile, identification of goals and methods of solving location problems have significant importance. the purpose of this paper is to examine spatial distribution of economic activities in 14 zones of esf...

bamdezh wetland with the geographical coordinates of   north longitude, east latitude and an area of 44 square kilometers, is located in about 40 km northwest of ahvaz and shavur river is the main source of its supply. this wetland is not only a habitat and suitable food source for aquatic and migratory birds, but as well a significant resource of income for the locals. today, with the arrival ...
