In this paper, we consider a state estimation problem over a bandwidth limited network. A sensor network consisting of N sensors is used to observe the states of M plants, but only p ≤ N sensors can transmit their measurements to a centralized estimator at each time. Therefore a suitable...

The web is increasingly relied upon as a reflection of reality, which raises a number of key issues not yet fully recognized or articulated, warranting further study. This new digital reality and the unprecedented capabilities it embodies in terms of searchability, aggregatability, temporal...

Youth depart residential care with many continued risk factors, unique needs, and challenges as they reintegrate into the home, school, and community settings. Currently, there is limited research on needs and best practices in aftercare services and supports for youth departing from residential...

The reduction of hydroxides of various alkali metals (i.e., Na, K and Li with carbon) using concentrated solar radiation at high temperatures in the range of 900–1600°C results in the production of CO, H2 and the alkali metal. These reactions are highly endothermic; for instance,...

In recent years, the production of zinc from its oxide using solar energy has been attracting increasing interest. This is a promising process for the conversion of solar radiation to its chemical form and storage. When carbon is used as a reducing agent, the main product gases are zinc, CO, and...

The reduction of zinc oxide (ZnO) with pure carbon has been studied in the temperature range of 1200–1500 °C for converting solar thermal power into chemical energy in the form of metallic zinc. An experimental solar facility was set up to test different types of reactors, including a...

These three charts provide a visual overview of the statutory frameworks for the gift, estate and generation-skipping transfers taxes. These charts are designed for students, professionals and experienced scholars alike -- anyone who needs a quick reference sheet will find them helpful....

This article briefly reviews the 10 articles related to estate and gift taxation that were most-frequently downloaded from the Social Science Research Network in 2010. They are: (1) Paul L. Caron, Jennifer M. Kowal and Katherine Pratt, "Pursuing a Tax LLM Degree: Why and When?" (2) Paul L....
