this paper presents a framework for long term transmission expansion planning in competitive, electricity markets. transmission lines and phase shifters are taken into account as expansion options. maximization of the network users' benefits, with satisfying security constraints are considered as the criterion for transmission expansion planning. the elements of the objective function are the...

Background Cardiovascular magnetic resonance (CMR) flow quantification for determining the ratio of flow between the pulmonary and systemic circulation (Qp/Qs) is used to quantify cardiac shunts. However, both the accuracy and precision of Qp/Qs can be influenced by measurement errors in flow quantification. Post-processing methods for stationary tissue background correction have been proposed ...

A two-parameter quantum algebra U qp (u 2) is briefly investigated in this paper. The basic ingredients of a model based on the U qp (u 2) symmetry, the qp-rotator model, are presented in detail. Some general tendencies arising from the application of this model to the description of rotational bands of various atomic nuclei are summarized.

Exercise 1 (Maximal compact subgroups of G). A lattice in Qp is a finitelygenerated Zp-submodule of Qp that generates Qp as vector space. In particular, it’s free of rank n. Note that G acts transitively on the set of lattices in Qp . (i) Show that K = StabG(Zp ). (ii) Suppose that K ′ is a compact subgroup of G. Show that K ′ stabilises a lattice. (Hint: show that the K ′-orbit of Zp is finite...

For a fairly general reductive group G/Qp , we explicitly compute the space of locally algebraic vectors in the Breuil-Herzig construction Π(ρ)ord, for a potentially semistable Borel-valued representation ρ of Gal(Q̄p/Qp). The point being we deal with the whole representation, not just its socle – and we go beyond GLn(Qp). In the case of GL2(Qp), this relation is one of the key properties of the...

Training a Support Vector Machine (SVM) requires the solution of a very large quadratic programming (QP) problem. This paper proposes an algorithm for training SVMs: Sequential Minimal Optimization, or SMO. SMO breaks the large QP problem into a series of smallest possible QP problems which are analytically solvable. Thus, SMO does not require a numerical QP library. SMO’s computation time is d...

The Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) BamHI Q promoter (Qp) is the only promoter used for the transcription of Epstein-Barr virus nuclear antigen 1 (EBNA-1) mRNA in cells in the most restricted (type I) latent infection state. However, Qp is inactive in type III latency. With the use of the yeast one-hybrid system, a new cellular gene has been identified that encodes proteins which bind to sequence in Q...

In this paper we propose a novel data hiding procedure called Quantized Projection (QP), that combines elements from quantization (i.e. Quantization Index Modulation, QIM) and spread-spectrum methods. The method is based in quantizing a diversity projection of the host signal, inspired in the statistic used for detection in spread-spectrum algorithms. We carry on a theoretical analysis of QP to...
