The paper describes the main concepts and features of an efficient and improved computational method that was developed for conducting reliability assessment studies of interconnected power systems that may also contain jointly owned generating units operating in a market environment. It is a method based on the Monte-Carlo sequential simulation approach and can analyze systems with any given configuration and operational features. The operational behavior of the interconnected systems, interconnection lines and jointly owned generating units are simulated efficiently so that a more accurate reliability assessment is achieved. An extended set of appropriate reliability and operational indices is calculated for each system, the interconnection facilities and each jointly owned generating unit. Reliability indices can also be calculated for each load-point of interest belonging to any system. All these indices can be used to measure the changes obtained due to the operation of jointly owned generating units and can help in determining the possible advantages and disadvantages of their operation. Finally, very important indices are calculated concerning the operation of power systems in a market environment that show the additional information being gained. The analysis of a typical power system based on the IEEE-RTS is also included for various case studies representing certain operating and design features that can be applied

Research Summary: Drug policy reformers and defenders contest the extent to which low-level drug offenders are being sent to prison and for how long. Using data from the Survey of Inmates in Federal and State Correctional Facilities, 1997 (BJS, 2000), we assess the seriousness of incarcerated drug offenders along dimensions of dangerousness, culpability, and harm—specifically, functional role and drug group participation, type and amount of drugs, firearms involvement, and criminal conviction and arrest history. We find that only about 1.6% of federal and 5.7% of state inmates can be described as “unambiguously low-level.” Alternatively, not many are “kingpins.” Rather, most fall into a middle spectrum representing different degrees of seriousness that depend on what factors are emphasized. policy Implications: Our findings dampen hopes of dramatically reducing prison populations by getting out of prison those who are unambiguously low-level drug offenders. They simply do not represent the majority of incarcerated drug offenders. In particular, most played some role in distribution, so eliminating prison terms for users (decriminalization) would not have affected many now in prison. Indeed, if decriminalization increased demand, it could plausibly increase prison populations by increasing the number of suppliers still subject to imprisonment. On the other hand, “drug courier exceptions” to sentencing laws that apply to minor role offenders possessing large quantities could have a greater prison reduction impact.

A CMOS transconductor suitable for very low distortion analog signal processing over a rail-to-rail input range is presented. Very low impedance virtual ground nodes obtained by local negative feedback allow a highly linear voltage to current conversion by passive resistors. Low mismatch sensitivity is achieved as the current generated in the resistors is not internally replicated. Measurement results for a 0.5μm CMOS prototype show a spurious-free dynamic range at 1MHz higher than 70dB for a 6Vpp input and a dual supply of ±1.5V.
