in this work we have applied the dense system equation of state (dseos) to electrolyte solutions. we have found that this equation of state can predict the density of electrolyte solutions very accurately. it has been tested for different electrolytes solutions at different temperatures and compositions. a hypothetical binary model has been applied to find the dependencies of parameters of this...

State capacity is exceptionally low in Latin America, even when compared to other former colonies. This paper analyzes four possible factors that could potentially explain this troubling feature: political inequality, economic inequality, interstate conflict and civil war. With the exception of external war, these variables have a negative effect on state-building in models where the accumulati...

In this study the thermal conductivity and the volumetric heat capacity of non-Newtonian fluids are investigated. These fluids find many applications in chemical, medical and food industries. They mostly have viscoelastic behavior and generally differ from Newtonian fluids. Two non-Newtonian fluids, solutions of xanthan and carboxy methyl cellulose in water with various concentrations have bee...

Reliable communication imposes an upper limit on the achievable rate, namely the Shannon capacity. Wyner’s wiretap coding, which ensures a security constraint also, in addition to reliability, results in decrease of the achievable rate. To mitigate the loss in the secrecy rate, we propose a coding scheme where we use sufficiently old messages as key and for this scheme prove that multiple messa...

Communication channels are said to be underspread if their coherence time is greater than their delay spread. In such cases it can be shown that in the infinite bandwidth limit the information capacity tends to that of a channel with perfect receiver Channel State Information (CSI). This paper presents a lower bound on the capacity of a channel with finite bandwidth, expressed in a form which i...

We highlight some recent results on the theory and algorithms for MIMO systems, obtained at the Royal Institute of Technology (KTH) within the SATURN project. The paper includes a a new approximate expression for the ergodic channel capacity of a MIMO system with correlated fading, algorithms for MIMO beamforming under EIRP (equivalent isotropic radiated power) constraints and a low-complexity ...

We give a new geometric interpretation of quantum pure states. Using Voronoi diagrams, we reinterpret the structure of the space of pure states as a subspace of the quantum state space. In addition to the known coincidence of some Voronoi diagrams for one-qubit pure states, we will show that even for mixed one-qubit states, as far as sites are given as pure states, the Voronoi diagram with resp...
