We show that a finite Josephson Junction (JJ) chain, ending with two bulk superconductors, and with a weak link at its center, may be regarded as a condensed matter realization of a two-boundary Sine-Gordon model. Computing the partition function yields a remarkable analytic expression for the DC Josephson current as a function of the phase difference across the chain. We show that, in a suitab...

African green monkeys (AGMs) infected by simian immunodeficiency virus (SIV) SIVagm are resistant to AIDS. SIVagm-infected AGMs exhibit levels of viremia similar to those described during pathogenic human immunodeficiency virus type 1 (HIV-1) and SIVmac infections in humans and macaques, respectively, but contain lower viral loads in their lymph nodes. We addressed the potential role of dendrit...

A protocol is described which allows to send and receive messages anonymously using an arbitrary communication network, and it is proved to be unconditionally secure. This improves a result by DAVID CHAUM: The DC-net guarantees the same, but on the assumption of a reliable broadcast network. Since unconditionally secure Byzantine Agreement cannot be achieved, such a reliable broadcast network c...

A quasi-linear relationship between voltage angles and magnitudes in power flow calculation is presented. An accurate estimation of can be provided by the when are derived classical DC flow. Based on relationship, a novel extended (EDCPF) model proposed considering magnitudes. It simple, reliable for both distribution network transmission normal system operation states. The accuracy ED-CPF veri...

Dendritic cells (DCs) initiate and orient immune responses and comprise several subsets that display distinct phenotypes and properties. Most of our knowledge of DC subsets biology is based on mouse studies. In the past few years, the alignment of the human DC network with the mouse DC network has been the focus of much attention. Although comparative phenotypic and transcriptomic analysis have...

The scope of the presented paper is concentrated on two terminal HVDC transmission system. The intention of the paper is to present a precise insight into the limitations of the transmitted power of a HVDC system incorporated in real AC power system. The paper demonstrates the impacts of the combined AC/DC system model parameters on the transmitted power through the DC link. Also, in this paper...

We never loaded a long extra high voltage to their thermal limits in order to keep sufficient margin against transient instability. With this scheme proposed in this paper, it is possible to load these lines very near to their thermal limits. Here we inject dc power in to dc transmission line to carry usual ac along with dc superimposed on it. The added power flow does not cause any transient i...
