Abstract—In this paper, the concept of composibility of the total channel capacity of the system of channels composed of two independent subsystems of channel is discussed. This system of channels is a function of entropies of the subsystems. Here, we show that the generalized entropies, the Tsalli’s entropy, the normalized Tsalli’s entropy and the Kapur’s entropy are compatible with the compos...

abstract antioxidant capacity and quality of fruits usually changed during storage. in the current study, the changes of antioxidant capacity and postharvest quality of two blood (pigmented) orange cultivars (‘tarocco’ and ‘morro’) and ‘thompson navel’ orange, after 60 days storage at 7ºc and 90 rh% was investigated. during fruit storage weight loss, tss, ta, tss/ta, vitamin c, total phenol, an...

The current procedure in the Highway Capacity Manual 2000 for analyzing actuated signalized intersections treats pedestrian crossing and timing in a fixed manner, which can lead to erroneous results in capacity and delay calculations. This paper introduces a new model that remedies such a shortcoming in the current procedure. The model takes into account the stochastic nature of pedestrian cros...

This paper proposes a new methodology to design optimal antennas for MIMO (Multi-Input Multi-Output) communication systems by using spherical mode expansion. Given spatial channel properties of a MIMO channel, such as the angular profile at both sides, the optimal MIMO antennas should provide the largest channel capacity with a constraint of the limited implementation space (volume). In designi...

The administration of high doses of therapeutic antibodies requires large-scale, efficient, cost effective manufacturing processes. An understanding of how the industry is using its available production capacity is important for production planning, and facility expansion analysis. Inaccurate production planning for therapeutic antibodies can have serious financial ramifications. In the recent ...

This study uses a capacity planning model to determine an optimal mix of generating plants for New England in the year 1995. The results indicate that New England has excess capacity in the generation of intermediate load and insufficient capacity in the generation of base load. The current intermediate load capacity is almost entirely oil-fired. and in 1995 it will have an average age of 35 ye...

purpose: military personnel are expected to maintain the highest possible level of physical   fitness to do their duties. several factors including body composition and body mass index   affect the level of their physical preparedness. the current study was designed to investigate   the effect of body composition and body mass index in the level of physical preparedness of   iranian military pe...

This paper considers a multi-period news-vendor problem with partially observed supply capacity information which evolves as a Markovian Process. The supply capacity is fully observed by the buyer when the capacity is smaller than buyer’s ordering quantity. With a dynamic programming formulation, we prove the existence of a unique optimal ordering policy. In a two-state Markovian capacity case,...
