A forward reliability market is presented. The market coordinates new entry through the forward procurement of reliability options—physical capacity bundled with a financial option to supply energy above a strike price. The market assures adequate generating resources and prices capacity from the bids of competitive new entry in an annual auction. Efficient performance incentives are maintained...

background: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. methods: the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the metho...

This article is a summary of a review journal article describing some of the recent research into the capacity value of wind power. With the worldwide increase in wind power during the past several years, there is increasing interest and significance regarding its capacity value. This has a direct influence on the amount of other (non-wind) capacity that is needed in future power systems. Recen...

1. Introduction In order to meet the rapidly increasing demand for communications over metro networks and international submarine cable networks, it is essential to secure larger transmission capacity and higher equipment reliability. Indispensable technologies to satisfy these requirements include: design and verification technologies that realize large-capacity transmission of 40 and 100 Gbps...

Techset Com Reliability for network-on-chips has been widely researched in last decades not only to support the rapid growing requirement of onchip communication but also to address the challenge on reliability due to aggressive technology scaling. Simulation is the most common method to evaluate the capacity of reliability design but its cost is significant. Therefore, it is necessary to calcu...

BACKGROUND The purpose of this study was to examine the inter- and intra-rater reliability of an electronic inspiratory loading device for the assessment of pulmonary functions: maximum inspiratory pressure, peak inspiratory flow, and vital capacity. MATERIAL/METHODS Subjects were 50 patient volunteers in a rehabilitation hospital who had experienced their first episode of unilateral stroke w...
