the cúk converter, which has voltage buck and boost ability, offers high flexibility as an interface device for solar panels. in addition, current ripple can be more reduced because of two input and output inductors at both sides. this paper presents a new application of current-variable inductors in a cúk converter that reduces the size and capacity of storage elements. because of two inductor...

This paper contains a construction for independent sets in the powers of the complements of odd cycles. In particular, we show that α ( C 2 2n+3 ) ≥ 22n + 1. It follows that for n ≥ 0 we have Θ(C2n+3) > 2, where Θ(G) denotes the Shannon capacity of graph G.

In a previous paper [5], two of the authors developed a method for ascribing a value to an extra unit of capacity on a telecommunications link. Specifically, they expressed the value of an extra unit of capacity as a function of current capacity, current occupancy and a planning horizon. The intention was to use this function as an ingredient in a bandwidth reallocation scheme for ensuring effi...

This short paper introduces the concept of Asian options in the capacity choice literature. We develop a simple model for optimal capacity setting under average demand uncertainty for a single firm. When the firm faces moderate or significant stochastic demands in its current product line, expanding capacity is beneficial. If the demand is extremely stochastic, a capacity lag or reduction is mo...

The Women's Health Program at the University of Michigan was established in 1993 and has developed into a successful, federally supported program that links clinical research and education activities across the University. It has focused on human resource capacity building, sustainable financial support and infrastructure, and adaptability to change and opportunities. Widely accepted standards,...

Public Health emphasizes the plurality of the determinants of health of individuals, families and communities. Nutrition, as a major determinant of health, is itself influenced by a multitude of determinants that are under the purview of several agencies. Thus, inter-sectoral collaboration among the relevant agencies is imperative for promoting optimal health and nutrition such a partnership is...

Abstract—In this paper we consider the identification (ID) via multiple access channels (MACs). In the general MAC the ID capacity region includes the ordinary transmission (TR) capacity region. In this paper we discuss the converse coding theorem. We estimate two types of error probabilities of identification for rates outside capacity region, deriving some function which serves as a lower bou...
