Wildfire smoke and other particulate matter can substantially inhibit solar photovoltaic (PV) generation production. While PV facilities may not be located in areas with a high fire risk, from wildfires travel hundreds of kilometers impacting large number facilities. This paper proposes geospatial wildfire capacity model to quantify the anticipated temporal reduction due smoke. A case study usi...

The need for wireless communication systems has grown rapidly during the last few years. Moreover, there is a steady growth in the required data rates due to the fact that more and more users request high-bit-rate services. To meet those requirements, current and next-generation wireless systems and networks such as wireless LANs (e.g., IEEE 802.11a) will support much higher data rates compared...

This article presents a thorough statistical analysis of the capacity of orthogonal space-time block coded (OSTBC) multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) Nakagamilognormal (NLN) channels. The NLN channel model allows to study the joint effects of fast fading and shadowing on the statistical properties of the channel capacity. We have derived exact analytical expressions for the probability densi...

background: the purpose of the present study was to evaluate the psychometric properties (validity and reliability) of the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test in children with attention deficit hyperactivity disorder. methods: the persian version of the sustained auditory attention capacity test was constructed to assess sustained auditory attention using the metho...

We have attempted to use information theoretic quantities for analyzing neuronal connection structure from spike trains. Two point mu tual information and its maximum value, channel capacity, between a pair of neurons were found to be useful for sensitive detection of crosscorrelation and for estimation of synaptic strength, respectively. Three point mutual information among three neurons could...

The structural changes and electrochemical behavior of RuO2 are investigated by using in situ XRD, X-ray absorption spectroscopy, and electrochemical techniques to understand the electrochemical reaction mechanism of this metal oxide anode material. Intermediate phase-assisted transformation of RuO2 to LiRuO2 takes place at the start of discharge. Upon further lithiation, LiRuO2 formed by inter...
