We show how to construct power indices that respect proportionality between power and weight from average representations of a game. If restricted to account for the lack of power of dummy voters, average representations become coherent measures of voting power, such that the resulting power distributions are proportional to the distribution of weights. Imposing other restrictions may lead to a...

High Peak-to-Average Power Ratio (PAPR) has been recognized as one of the major practical problem involving OFDM modulation. High PAPR results from the nature of the modulation itself where multiple subcarriers/sinusoids are added together to form the signal to be transmitted. When N sinusoids add, the peak magnitude would have a value of N, where the (rms) average might be quite low due to des...

The prediction of the topology of transmembrane proteins is an important foundation in the research of bioinformatics. In this paper, information fusion theory has been introduced to locate the transmembrane regions and find their orientation. The proposed method, which is on the basis of the power average operator and a kind of similarity degree of interval numbers, considers a transmembrane r...

Exact analytic expressions are developed for the average power of the Benjamini and Hochberg false discovery control procedure. The result is based on explicit computation of the joint probability distribution of the total number of rejections and the number of false rejections, and expressed in terms of the cumulative distribution functions of the p-values of the hypotheses. An example of anal...

Clipping and filtering can be a simple and effective method of reducing the peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) for an orthogonal frequency division multiplexed (OFDM) signal. To be effective the clipping must be performed on an oversampled version of the time domain signal, but this results in out-ofband (OOB) power. It has previously been shown that the OOB signals can be filtered out using a ...

The progressive relocation of part of the Energy Intensive Industries (EIIs) out of Europe is one of the possible consequences of the combination of emission charges and higher electricity prices entailed by the EU-Emission Trading Scheme (EU-ETS). In order to mitigate this effect, EIIs have asked for special power contracts whereby they would be supplied from dedicated power capacities at aver...

A recent analysis of B → πK decays concludes that present data do not clearly indicate whether (i) the standard model (or ∆I = 0 new physics) is sufficient, or (ii) ∆I = 1 new physics is needed. We show that these two possibilities can be distinguished by whether a sum rule relating the CP asymmetries of the four B → πK decays is valid. If case (i) is favored, the sum rule holds, and one predic...

High average power FELs require high average current electron injectors capable of generating high quality, short duration electron bunches with a repetition rate equal to the frequency of the rf linac. In this paper we propose, analyze and simulate an rf-gated, gridded thermionic electron gun for use in high average power FELs. Thermionic cathodes can provide the necessary high current, have l...

Free-electron-laser (FEL) oscillators have only recently achieved their original promise as producers of high-power, short-wavelength, tunable radiation. Room-temperature accelerator systems have generally had limited duty factor due to excessive Ohmic losses on cavity walls. The application of superconducting radio-frequency (SRF) technology has now permitted an increase by more than two order...

The Peak to Average Power Ratio (PAPR) is currently viewed as an important implementation issue in communication systems. Specifically, for wireless cellular systems the price of the mobile unit is required to remain low. This means that a limited PAPR can be supported. Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) and Single Carrier (SC) are the prominent candidates for the next generation...
