in order to improve the reliability of the power system, sufficient amount of new capacity should be installed in the network. usually generation units’ payoff in an energy market is not adequate to cover their expenses. therefore, energy only market cannot induce investors to invest in generation field. due to energy only market inefficiency, a supplementary algorithm is suggested to cover the...

tuberculosis (tb) and tobacco use are two major alarming global health issues posing immense threats to human populations. mycobacterium tuberculosis (mtb) by activation of macrophages could induce the sequences of cells activation and releases of inflammatory cytokines such as cxcl-8, il-12 and tnf-α which in turn induces the immune system network. however no information is available on other ...

one of the fundamental issues in organizations is theadaptive capacity. therefore, the present study aims at assessing theadaptive capacity of employees to test its relationship with ethicalleadership. the method of research was survey and the measuring toolwas a closed questionnaire. the population consisted of 716employees of tabriz university in 2012 from which 239 employeeswere selected thr...

We show how to compute or at least to estimate various capacity-related quantities for bosonic Gaussian channels. Among these are the coherent information, the entanglement-assisted classical capacity, the one-shot classical capacity, and a quantity involving the transpose operation, shown to be a general upper bound on the quantum capacity, even allowing for finite errors. All bounds are expli...

One of the most surprising recent results in quantum Shannon theory is the superactivation of the quantum capacity of a quantum channel. This phenomenon has its roots in the extreme violation of additivity of the channel capacity and enables to reliably transmit quantum information over zerocapacity quantum channels. In this work we demonstrate a similar effect for the classical capacity of a q...
