Setting aside forested land for protection can lead to deforestation elsewhere, defined as “leakage”. Under some conditions, it can induce more forest cover near the protected area (“negative leakage”). We develop an analytical general equilibrium model to solve for leakage as a function of key economic variables, and we use it to generate testable hypotheses. We test these hypotheses for Indon...

A computer model for prediction and analysis of an oil-flooded single screw compressor performance is developed. The model includes suction preheat, pressuri ~~.tion of the gas in the control volume during the suction closure process, flowage of gas and oil mixture through discharge port, leakage of gas and oil. It considers the effect of oil-injection rate, clearances and length of leaka~e pat...

Today’s Smartphone operating systems frequently fail to provide users with adequate control and visibility into how the third-party applications use their private data. With TaintDroid realized on Android system, we can detect user’s implicit taint and privacy leakage. But TaintDroid has some inherent defects. To better detect user’s implicit taint and privacy leakage in the Android platform, t...

A new charge pump circuit has been proposed to suppress the return-back leakage current without suffering the gate-oxide reliability problem in low-voltage CMOS process. The four-phase clocks were used to control the charge-transfer devices turning on and turning off alternately to suppress the return-back leakage current. A test chip has been implemented in a 65-nm CMOS process to verify the p...

IDDQ testing is an important component of a test suite. However, increasing leakage current values with each technology node render single pass/fail limit setting approach obsolete. This is further worsened due to increasing process variations and discriminating faulty and fault-free chips is becoming increasingly difficult. In this paper we evaluate a metric that uses wafer-level spatial infor...

Background: Radiotherapy is one of the most important factors which results in negative effects on wound healing and increases anastomosis leakage. Diverting loop ileostomy has been usually performed after colorectal anastomosis in cases of colorectal cancer with a history of neoadjuvant radiotherapy to decrease the chance of leakage. Considering the side effects of diverting loop ileostomy, th...

The capacitive effects of a ground plane on an aerial bucket truck undergoing periodic testing can have a significant impact on the measured test results. The capacitive coupling of a building can reduce the leakage current through the boom resulting in a lower reading from the return point of the truck. Since the coupling is not as prevalent outdoors, more current flows through the boom result...
