The U.S. joint military medical community has an increasing role in collaborative health sector engagement internationally as part of a whole of government approach to successful operations. The military must master the ability to catalyze health sector gains that can be developed by hosts, U.S. Government, and international agencies in both permissive environments and conflict zones. Capacity ...

We study the one-shot zero-error classical capacity of quantum channels assisted by quantum non-signalling correlations, and the reverse problem of simulation. Both lead to simple semi-definite programmings whose solutions can be given in terms of the conditional min-entropies. We show that the asymptotic simulation cost is precisely the conditional min-entropy of the Choi-Jamiołkowski matrix o...

Motivated by channel measurements in different indoor locations we will show that the WLAN indoor MIMO channel is characterized by few dominant transmission paths mainly corresponding to the LOS path and some strong reflections. In the contrary to the common statistical flat Rayleigh fading channel model we will explain that the WLAN channel is widely deterministic and frequency selective. Furt...

cabbage leaf miner scaptomyza flava (fallen) (l)iptera: drosophilidae) is a native and oligophagous leaf miner insect on cruciferous plants (brassicaceae). it occurs in many parts of the world and throughout khuzestan. the relationship between feeding and ovipositional preferences of insect, and host plant suitability on seven host plant species (cauliflower brassica oleracea var. botryds, ...

We study the Downs-Thomson paradox, a situation where an additional road capacity can cause an overall increase in transport generalized cost and therefore a decrease in welfare for transport users. To this end, we build an experiment based on a double market-entry game (DMEG) where users have to choose between road and public transit after that the operator has choosen public transit capacity....

The two-armed bandit problem, or more generally, the multi-armed bandit problem, has been identified as the underlying problem of many practical circumstances which involves making a series of choices among uncertain alternatives. Problems like job searching, customer switching, and even the adoption of fundamental or technical trading strategies of traders in financial markets can be formulate...

Using consistent agent-based techniques, this research explores the welfare consequences of product differentiation on congested networks. The economic analysis focuses on the source, evolution, measurement, and impact of product differentiation with heterogeneous users on a mixed ownership network. Path differentiation and space differentiation are defined and measured for a base scenario and ...
