This study focuses on one of the most effective type of capacity markets named Capacity Subscription (CS) market which is predicted to be widely used in the upcoming smart grids. Despite variant researches done about the mechanism and structure of capacity markets, their performances have been rarely tested in the presence of network constraints. Considering this deficiency, we tried to propose...

Usually the capacity of multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) wireless communication channels is evaluated under the assumption of fixed signal to noise (SNR) scenario. In this paper the impact of temporal SNR variation on capacity of MIMO wireless channels in urban microcells is considered. Results based on data measured in line of sight (LOS) and non line of sight (NLOS) propagation scenarios...

This paper studies a capacity management problem in which a facility provider offers its facility to two service providers. The facility provider can either pool the service providers together to share the facility or reserve a dedicated facility for the service providers. The service providers determine their service capacity levels to serve each market with linear time-sensitive demand. We as...

A review of previous studies shows that there are two general views on how to determine demand in structures through incremental nonlinear static analysis. In the first view, multi-modal methods are used to determine demand in structures. In this view, the applied load pattern is applied to the structure according to the shape of each vibration mode, assuming that the structure deformation foll...

background: wastewater produced by a dairy in sanandaj is a major source of environmental pollution threatening the city. the dairy uses activated sludge treatment to remove organic pollution from the wastewater. the present study evaluated the performance of this process and its compliance with national requirements for chemical oxygen demand (cod), biochemical oxygen demand (bod), and total s...

The effect of soft and softer handoffs on codedivision multiple-access (CDMA) system capacity is evaluated for unsectorized and sectorized hexagonal cells according to an average bit energy-to-interference power spectral density, which corresponds to a bit-error rate (BER) of 10 3. The effect of imperfect sectorization on sectorization efficiency is also considered. On the reverse link, there i...
