Effective Cable Sizing model for Building Electrical Services

Population Sizing for Entropy-based Model Building in Genetic Algorithms

This paper presents a population-sizing model for the entropy-based model building in genetic algorithms. Specifically, the population size required for building an accurate model is investigated. The effect of the selection pressure on population sizing is also incorporated. The proposed model indicates that the population size required for building an accurate model scales as Θ(m logm), where...

Sizing the Electrical Grid

Transformers and storage batteries in the electrical grid must be provisioned or sized just as routers and buffers must be sized in the Internet. We prove the formal equivalence between these two systems and use this insight to apply teletraffic theory to sizing the electrical grid, obtaining the capacity region corresponding to a given transformer and storage size. To validate our analysis, we...

Diierentiated Services over Cable Networks

The current Medium Access Control interface speci cations of the Multimedia Cable Network System (MCNS) project describe a best e ort access service over cable networks. In this paper, we show that even though these speci cations are mainly intended to support IP tra c, there is a signi cant bene t in the strati cation of the cable service o erings. We present a priority system to extend the MC...

Actin: A molecular wire, an electrical cable?

Ecology: Electrical Cable Bacteria Save Marine Life

Animals at the bottom of the sea survive oxygen depletion surprisingly often, and a new study identifies cable bacteria in the sediment as the saviors. The bacterial electrical activity creates an iron 'carpet', trapping toxic hydrogen sulfide.
