We provide a simple model to investigate decisions about vertical separation. The key feature of this model is that more than one input is required for the final product of the downstream monopolist. We show that as the bargaining powers of independent complementary input suppliers grow larger, the downstream monopolist tends to separate from its input units. The results are related to a visibl...

You are probably deploying different types of small cells from multiple vendors, including residential small cells, indoor small cells for buildings, and public small cells in indoor hotspots. Most 3G small cells today are passive in operation they do some auto-configuration on start-up but can’t react to changes in traffic or in their radio environment. Others, such as Cisco Universal Small Ce...

We present a scheme for incorporating scene constraints into the auto-calibration process for the structure and motion recovery problem. The steps covered by the scheme include projective factorization of the joint image measurement matrix, recovery of the absolute dual quadric, the upgrade from projective structure to its Euclidean counterpart, and incorporation of constraints from orthogonal ...

Autotuning methods are typically conceived as procedures, thus need simulating as digital blocks. However, when no autotuning is in progress, it is far more efficient to represent the tuned controller as a continuous-time system, to exploit variable-step integration. This manuscript presents the first nucleus of a Modelica library of autotuning controllers, where the problem just mentioned is t...

in this paper for calculating policy analysis matrix parameters, with regard to real or shadow prices, we pay attention to variation of endogenous variables, using results of cge  model. the results of the study indicated that,in output market, because of government policies, there are implicit tax on products of iran;s auto industry. but inputs of auto industry, benefits from government subsid...

Autoimmune polyendocrine syndrome type 1 (APS1) is a rare monogenic autosomal recessive disorder. Autoimmune gonadal failure is often one of its features. The aim of this study was to identify targets of immune reactions associated with male autoimmune hypogonadism in APS1. Human testis cDNA expression library immunoscreening with APS1 patients' sera identified the protein testis-specific prote...

Deploying the new generation ”Internet Protocol” (IPv6) over 802.16-based wireless networks is facing an important challenge as the IEEE 802.16 standard is failing to support IPv6 functionalities. In fact, unlike the other 802 standards, the IEEE 802.16 is based on a point-tomultipoint (PMP) communication model, where no direct connection (at the MAC layer) is possible between two stations, all...

In this study, we describe an auto-calibration algorithm with fixed but unknown camera parameters. We have modified Triggs’ algorithm to incorporate known aspect ratio and skew values to make it applicable for small rotation around a single axis. The algorithm despite being a quadratic one is easy to solve. We have applied the algorithm to some artificial objects with known size and dimensions ...

Sen, Pathologist of the Sambhunath Pandit Hospital. I must admit that I have no first-hand acquaintance with the literature of auto-haemic therapy. At the same time, the subject appears to be an extraordinaril...
