Abstract T he return of capital is fundamental to the intertemporal allocation of resources by changing the consumption behavior and capital accumulation over time. Taxation on return of capital increases the marginal product of capital, meaning that capital stock is lower than when capital is not taxed, which results decreased growth and welfare in steady state. This pape...

The aim of this paper is the steady state and dynamic simulations of the ammonia unit of Shiraz petrochemical complex and system behavior study versus the feed flow rate change for producing a good quality product. The ammonia unit consists of the reformer units, shift converter units, carbon dioxide absorption unit, methanation unit, and ammonia synthesis unit. For this purpose, in the first s...

Steady state simulation is used to study long-run behavior. Usually only the expected value of the steady state probability distribution function is estimated. In many cases quantiles of this distribution are of higher interest. In this paper a new usage of quantile estimators is proposed, which is derived from mean value analysis and is based on multiple independent replications. The advantage...

Chemical Reactions networks are widely studied in a variety of fields, including Systems Biology, Medicine, and Chemical Engineering. Analyzing chemical reaction networks is a widely studied problem going back to Guldberg and Waage in the 19th century. Despite being well-studied, many chemical reaction networks still aren’t very well understood, partly due to the complexity of naturally occurin...

ove over, vesicles. Intermediate filaments (IFs) are also a major cargo of microtubule-based motor proteins, according to new results from Helfand et al. on page 795. The results M explain how rapid changes in IF structure are produced by transport of nonfilamentous vimentin particles. Dynamic changes in vimentin IF structure occur at the onset of cell spreading, requiring the transport of vime...

The paper presents a new modeling framework enabling to evaluate the cyclic steady state of a given system of concurrently flowing cyclic processes (SCCP) on the base of the assumed topology of transportation routes, dispatching rules employed, resources and operation times as well as an initial processes allocation. The objective is to provide the rules useful in the course of routing and sche...

This paper presents a new approach to the application mode of image processing operators, the so-called steady-state image processing. The approach reminds a steady-state genetic processing of images by considering each pixel of the image as an individual. So, some pixels are selected, processed and copied back into the image. This differs from the standard approach, where all image pixels are ...

The sharp decline in Indiana farmland values is about over. That's the conclusion of a majority of Purdue land values survey respondents who answered a question on when and at what level land values will "bottom out." Fifty-eight percent of those who responded to the question believe that the low point in land values will be 95 to 100 percent of mid-1987 values. An additional 25 percent felt th...

J Strength Cond Res 23(1): 251–258, 2009—The primary objective of this study was to determine whether physiological measurements obtained from one mode of testing and training could be applied to another mode, as in prescribing heart rat...
