Capacities of erasure networks
We have investigated, in various multiple senses, the “capacity” of several models of erasure networks. The defining characteristic of a memoryless erasure network is that each channel between any two nodes is an independent erasure channel. The models that we explore differ in the absence or …

Assessing leadership capacities in societal systems
… a methodology for assessing the leadership capacities, both tangible and intangible, associated with operating in each of the four modes, and a social network approach to creating sustained, long-term engagement in development of these leadership capacities. Our hypotheses are that adoption …

Chondrogenic capacities of equine synovial progenitor populations
… from bone marrow. To compare the chondrogenic capacities of MSCs isolated from equine synovium (SYN), bone marrow (BM) and adipose (FAT) tissue, six healthy adult horses were used in this study. BM aspirates were collected from tuber coxae, SYN tissues were collected from right radiocarpal …

Detection and estimation of quantum channel capacities
… investigates the subject of quantum channel capacities and is composed of two parts. 1. Detecting positive quantum capacities of quantum channels Determining whether a noisy quantum channel can be used to reliably transmit qubits at a non-zero rate is a challenging problem, since it requires …

Hummingbird Hovering Energetics and Flight Capacities Across Elevational Gradients
… This thesis explores the kinematic and aerobic capacities for exercise across an elevational gradient, and examines possible morphological adaptations associated with life at high elevations. Using hummingbirds, a group of animals with high hovering metabolic rates and wide elevational …

Simulations of the hydrogen storage capacities of carbon materials
… led to misleading conclusions for the absorption capacities of different carbon materials. A proper account of the contribution of quantum effects to the free energy and the equilibrium constant for hydrogen adsorption suggest that the industry specifications can be approached in a graphite-based …

Connections between Leadership and Developmental Capacities in College Students
… college student leadership and the developmental capacities necessary to engage in effective leadership. The study used the Social Change Model of Leadership (SCM) (Higher Education Research Institute, 1996) and Self-Authorship Theory (Baxter Magolda, 2001) as frameworks to explore connections …

A study of anchorage capacities of confined bent-bar reinforcement
Some of the factors which influence the anchorage capacities of bent deformed reinforcing bars in joints of reinforced concrete structures were examined. Ten full scale specimens simulating an exterior beam-column joint in a structure were tested in order to evaluate the anchorage capacity of the …

Rational Capacities and the Practice of Blame: A Skeptical Argument
… the relationship between our rational capacities and the norms that govern our practice of blame. The conclusion it reaches is rather shocking: it is impossible to satisfy the conditions of blameworthiness. The argument that reaches this conclusion is what I call an internal criticism. …

Heat capacities of three magnetic salts near their critical points
Low temperature heat capacity measurements have been made near the . 6H20. A method of determining the critical point TA from a welldefined physical event has been found. For Mn(NH4)2(S04)2 . 6H20, TA = 0.1763°K, the width of the transition is known to +2 ~oK, and data have been obtained to T-T -4 …

Prediction of isobaric heat capacities of room temperature ionic liquids
Ionic liquids (ILs) have many potential applications that require knowledge of a variety of physical and thermodynamic properties. While these properties can often be determined experimentally, this is impossible for novel, yet to be synthesised ILs; thus, property prediction from first principles …

Comparing capacities and delays at major European and American airports
… and safety. For airports, which have limited capacities, policy-makers must compromise between maximizing the number of flights served and avoiding excessive delays. Differences between policies adopted in the US and in Europe result in distinct airport performances, the analysis of which …

Understanding developing countries' capacities to negotiate effective trade agreements : Colombia
This thesis explores the obstacles (the negotiation machinery, the asymmetric context of power and the international and domestic context) for developing countries in negotiating international trade agreements with the US. By articulating key components of the negotiation theory with personal …

Assessing the effectiveness of renewable-specific policies on global renewable capacities
… portfolio standards on global renewable energy capacities. The renewables studied include biomass, geothermal, hydro (>10 MW), small hydro (<10 MW), solar photovoltaic, and wind energies. A majority of the projected increase in energy demand comes from countries outside Europe and North America; …

An Iolausian endeavour : exploring why the regenerative capacities of insurgent actors weaken
… this by exploring: why do the regenerative capacities of insurgent actors weaken? The exploration of this question takes the form of a two-level examination of three insurgent actors whose capacity to regenerate weakened in the past. Namely, the Front de liberation du Quebec (FLQ) of Canada, …
