The authors ran a game-based simulation of an electric market with both an RPS and a cap-and-trade market greenhouse gas emissions allowances. High renewable energy shares reduced and shifted the output of therm units and pushed down both electricity and carbon pric The markets for renewable energy, carbon allowances, a spot and forward electricity interacted in complex wa that are relevant to ...

Rodents move rhythmically their facial whiskers and compute differences between signals predicted and those resulting from the movement to infer information about objects near their head. These computations are carried out by a large network of forebrain structures that includes the thalamus and the primary somatosensory (S1BF) and motor (M1wk) cortices. Spatially and temporally precise mechano...

In many robotic applications, manipulation planning for an object free to slide on a surface is an import; oblem. Physical analysis of the object's motion is made difficult by the absence of information about 1 stribution of support of die object, and of the resulting frictional forces. This paper describes a n iproach to the analysis of sliding motion. The instantaneous motion of the object ca...

In shared-memory packet switches, buffer management schemes can improve overall loss performance, as well as fairness, by regulating the sharing of memory among the different output port queues. Of the conventional schemes, static threshold (ST) is simple but does not adapt to changing traffic conditions, while pushout (PO) is highly adaptive but difficult to implement. We propose a novel schem...

Changes in cardiorespiratory function resulting from haemorrhage and overtransfusion were measured in forty-seven dogs during controlled ventilation. In the animals bled to a mean arterial pressure of 70 mm Hg there were significant reductions in arterial Pco,, carbon dioxide output and oxygen consumption, cardiac output and total venous admixture. In the animals transfused to a mean central ve...

Myosin binding protein-C (MyBP-C) is localized to the thick filaments of striated muscle where it appears to have both structural and regulatory functions. Importantly, mutations in the cardiac MyBP-C gene are associated with familial hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. The purpose of this study was to examine the role that MyBP-C plays in regulating force, power output, and force development rates in...

Locally partial-ordered spaces (local po-spaces) have been used to model concurrent systems. We provide equivalences for these spaces by constructing a model category containing the category of local po-spaces. We show the category of simplicial presheaves on local po-spaces can be given Jardine's model structure, in which we identify the weak equivalences between local po-spaces. In the proces...
