Average Link Rate Analysis over Finite Time Horizon in a Wireless Network
Instantaneous and ergodic rates are two of the most commonly used metrics to characterize throughput of wireless networks. Roughly speaking, the former characterizes the rate achievable in a given time slot, whereas the latter is useful in characterizing average rate achievable over a long time …

A Conductometric Study of the Reaction Velocities of 2, 4-Dinitrochloro, Bromo, and Iodobenzene with Piperidine in Dimethylsulfoxide at Various Concentrations and Temperatures
… of reaction aliquots. Significant reaction rate increases have been observed for certain reaction types when protic solvents are replaced with dipolar aprotic solvents, which are not readily explainable in terms of such physical properties as dielectric constant. Since data in dipolar …

Marx at 200 – Inquiries into the Measurement of Profitability and its Determinants: The US Economy, 1950-2016
… actuality of the ‘law of the tendency of the rate of profit to fall’. While the present thesis contributes to the burgeoning body of empirical literature that has substantiated Marx’s law, it differs from many of them in the underlying theoretic-methodological specifications guiding how the …

TECHNICAL CHANGE AND PROFITABILITY: THE LONG-PERIOD BEHAVIOR OF THE RATE OF PROFIT (COMPETITION, RATIONALITY)
… the Marxian 'Law of the Falling Tendency of the Rate of Profit' (LFTRP). The LFTRP maintains that mechanization, i.e. the introduction of cost-reducing techniques of the capital-using-labor-saving type, results in a lower average rate of profit. This proposition is denied by the Okishio theorem, …

Seafloor geology, deglacial history, and early post-glacial evolution of eastern Juan de Fuca Strait
… was deglaciated rapidly; in about 100 years at a rate of 475 m/yr. Ice retreat was probably episodic, however, with times of rapid calving retreat separated by periods when retreat paused on morainal banks.</p><p>After the period of maximum marine submergence following deglaciation, isostatic …

New Insight Into the Thermal-Tectonic History of the Southern Antarctic Peninsula: (U-Th-Sm)/He and Fission-Track Thermochronologic Results From Northwest Palmer Land and Alexander Island
… were modeled via Monte Carlo simulations to generate time-temperature pathways. Thermal models generated for arc granitoids of northwest Palmer Land reveal a Late Cretaceous-Early Cenozoic episode of accelerated cooling from ca. 78-55 Ma not previously recognized in the southern Antarctic …

Rates of hillslope lowering in the Badlands of North Dakota
… Badlands of western North Dakota indicate an average rate of hillslope lowering by slopewash of 0.41 inch per year on the west-facing hillslopes underlain by the Sentinel Butte Formation, 0.14 inch per year on the southwest-facing hillslopes underlain by the Tongue River Formation, and 0.11 …

A Description of Vocalizations and Their Association with Mouthing Behaviors and Social Context in Bottlenose Dolphins, <i>Tursiops truncatus</i>
<p>Dolphin communication is multimodal and incorporates physical behaviors and vocalizations. Dolphins often exchange information with conspecifics using different types of vocalizations, and these vocalizations are sometimes associated with specific behaviors. However, the relationship of …

Physiological mechanisms of hippocampal memory processing : experiments and applied adaptive filtering
… From these recordings, we construct ensemble rate representations using a point process adaptive filter to characterize single-unit activity from each subregion. We compared the dynamics of these rate representations by computing average max rate and average rate modulation during different …

Contribution of Investors in Stock Exchange Development in Tanzania: A Case of Dar es Salaam Stock Exchange
… of shares listed have been growing at the annual average rate of 52.3% for the last eight years (2007-2014). Compared to the Nairobi and Uganda Stock exchanges, DSE was found to have the highest percentage change of market value of share listed followed by Uganda Stock Exchange (USE). In terms of …

Age-related maximal voluntary isometric force production characteristics of six muscle groups in women ranging in age from 25 to 74 years
… parameters of force, time, instantaneous rate of force increase, average rate of force production and impulse were used to characterize muscle function. A Daytronic linear voltage differential transducer interfaced with an IBM microcomputer was used to measure muscle function in six muscle …

BURNOUT RATES AMONG SOCIAL WORKERS: A SYSTEMATIC REVIEW AND SYNTHESIS
… social workers experience burnout at elevated rates; however, no study has developed an average rate of burnout among general social workers and quantitative research on the topic is lacking in general. This study conducted a systematic review and synthesis of the existing literature on burnout …

The effects of tobacco policies in the Dominican Republic
… Nominal (Direct and Total) protection rates (NRP) and effective rates of protection (ERP) were estimated for tobacco, corn, and fertilizer. The results indicated that tobacco was taxed at an annual average rate of 9 percent while corn was subsidized during most years of the study. …

Characterization of Resistance Change in Stretchable Silver Ink Screen Printed on TPU-Laminated Fabrics Under Cyclic Tensile Loading
… of printed traces were processed to generate datasets of maximum and minimum resistance per cycle. A mechanistic fit model was used to predict the resistance behavior of the ink across TPU/fabric levels. The results show that traces strained on TPU laminated to spandex (polyester) fibers …
