This topic introduces the concept of Hot Swapping DC power buses and why hotswapping has become a mainstream requirement, particularly in the telecommunications industry. Several methods of implementing hot swap will be provided along with the pros and cons of each method. Finally, a hot swap design utilizing a Hot Swap Power Manager will be presented for a typical -48V telecom

In this paper we study the effect that mean-reverting components in arithmetic dynamics of electricity spot price have on a call option swap. Our model allows for seasonal effects, spikes, and negative values electricity. We show sufficiently large delivery periods swap contract, error one makes by neglecting some processes affecting evolution converges to zero. The decay rate is explicitly cal...

We apply Stroock and Varadhan’s Support Theorem to show that there is a positive probability that within the Swap Market Model the implied Libor rates become negative in finite time.

Dye-specific bias effects, commonly observed in the two-color microarray platform, are normally corrected using the dye swap design. This design, however, is relatively expensive and labor-intensive. We propose a self-self hybridization design as an alternative to the dye swap design. In this design, the treated and control samples are labeled with Cy5 and Cy3 (or Cy3 and Cy5), respectively, wi...

Though it is common practice to treat synchronization primitives for multiprocessors as abstract data types, they are in reality machine instructions on registers. A crucial theoretical question with practical implications is the relationship between the size of the register and its computational power. We wish to study this question and choose as a rst target the popular compare&swap operation...

With the recent significant growth in the single-name credit default swap market has come the need for accurate and computationally efficient models to value these instruments. While the model developed by Duffie-Pan-Singleton (2000) model can be used, the solution is numerical (solving a series of ordinary differential equations) rather than explicit. In this paper, we provide an explicit solu...

Symmetry reduction is an effective state-space reduction technique for model checking, and works by restricting search to equivalence class representatives with respect to a group of symmetries for a model. A major problem with symmetry reduction techniques is the time taken to compute the representative of a state, which can be prohibitive. In efficient implementations of symmetry reduction, a...

With the development of space science and technology, on-orbit module replacement technology has been more and more attention. Accordance with the requirements of on-orbit spacecraft module replacement, this paper designs the flexible swap device, and analyses the working principle of the insert-pull process. Using Pro/E, the parametric geometry model is established, whose dynamics simulation a...

The Satisfaction With Appearance Scale (SWAP) is a 14-item questionnaire, assessing both the subjective appraisal and social-behavioral components of body image among bum survivors. Burn survivors requiring hospitalization (n = 165} completed a packet of psychometric instruments, including the SWAP at 1-week postdischarge. The SWAP demonstrated a high level of internal consistency (Cronbach's a...
