Numerical and experimental investigation of state of health of Li-ion battery

ABSTRACT

Estimation of State of Health (SoH) of Lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery is essential to predict the lifespan of batteries of an electric vehicle (EV). The efficient prediction of battery health indicates to the effective and safe operation of EV. However, delivering an effective and accurate method for the estimation of SoH in the real condition is truly a challenging task. The present study proposed a holistic procedure of combining both experimental and numerical investigations to conduct the fundamental study on coupled mechanical-electrochemical behavior of Li-ion battery. The proposed investigation highlighted the effect of stress on the capacity of the battery, considering capacity fade as an equivalent parameter to its health for real-time estimation of SoH. Finally, a simple model of Artificial Neural Network (ANN) is provided, which shows the linear dependency of stress with the SoH. The results obtained from the ANN model are validated with a Linear Regression (LR) model for a better understanding of the inspection. The predicted value of mean Square Error (MSE) and R square error in the ANN training model are found to be 0.000309 and 0.849687, respectively. Whereas for the test model, these predicted values are found to be 0.000438 and 0.819347, respectively.

国控重点污染源监督性监测质控抽测工作的思考

简述了开展国控重点污染源监督性监测质控抽测的内容。指出,目前国控重点污染源监督性监测中尚存在的问题,部分采样平台和监测断面设置不符合技术规范,监测仪器与监测方法不统一,监测数据的可比性不强,监测能力建设没有完全到位,现场仪器使用导致监测结果偏差。提出,加强手工监测全过程质控工作,配备精度较高的污染源现场监测仪器,加强污染源现场监测技术和仪器设备技术标准的研究,加强企业排污口规范化建设,加强污染源监测数据可信度评分办法等的研究,进一步推动污染源监测工作,使得污染源监测数据更好地反映污染源排放的实际情况,为管理部门提供准确的监测数据。     

106国道沿线样带区农村空心化土地整治潜力研究

基于典型调查资料和社会经济统计数据,在构建农村空心化评价指标体系并定量评判106国道沿线样带区县域农村空心化程度的基础上,结合自然条件和土地资源特点、农村居民点用地的有关法律规定,采用专家集成法选取与现实潜力转化有关的自然、社会、经济等10个指标建立综合指标体系,对空心村整治的自然适宜性、社会接受性、经济可行性进行了综合评价;将计算得到的农村空心化指数与现实转化潜力系数作为综合修正系数,对理论潜力进行修正,结合农村居民点整治潜力测算公式,测算出106国道沿线样带区不同农村空心化演进类型的现状潜力和远景潜力。研究表明:106国道沿线样带区县域农村空心化指数为0.18~0.82,现实转化潜力系数为0.07~0.32; 2009、2020年农村居民点整治的现实潜力分别为93 219.4、145 430.0 hm²,村庄整治增地率分别为6.8%、11.4%。研究将为空心村整治和新农村建设规划决策提供科学依据。     

Hepatitis B virus infection among health care workers in Public Teaching Hospitals in Khartoum State, Sudan

Background

Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection is a global public health problem. It is estimated that there are more than 300 million HBV carriers in the world.

Aim

The study aimed to examine the sero-prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers among health care workers (HCWs) in Public Teaching Hospitals in Khartoum State, in the year 2004.

Methods

The study is an observational, cross sectional, facility-based study. It was conducted on stratified two-stage cluster random sample of 843 subjects. The study followed non-parametric statistical methods, using Z-test for single proportion.

Results

Among the 843 subjects tested for all HBV markers (Anti-HBc, HBsAg, HBsAb, and HBeAg), the prevalence of Anti-HBc, HBsAg, HBsAb, and HBeAg was found to be 57% (CI 95%:53-60%), 6% (CI 95%:4.0-8.0%), 37% (CI 95%:34-40%) and 9% (CI 95%:7-11%) respectively. P < 0.05.

Conclusion

Seroprevalence of all HBV markers (P < 0.05) was found to be significantly high, while the rate of immunity against HBV infection was low among health care workers In Public Teaching Hospitals in Khartoum State, Sudan.

Perceptions of Prescribed Burning in a Local Forest Community in Victoria, Australia

The general perceptions of prescribed burning were elicited from forest users for an area that has been subject to this form of land management for at least 20 years. The largest group consisted of local residents living in and around the Wombat State Forest with two smaller groups of students from a nearby university campus and local professional land managers. A questionnaire was given to each participant in order to explore how the forest was used, to determine the level of knowledge of burning in the targeted forest and Victoria and the perception of the appearance, effectiveness of protection, and accessibility to the forest after prescribed burning. Generally all groups had similar responses with community members having stronger views on the effectiveness and practicalities of prescribed burning, whereas students were more neutral in their opinions. All participants claimed knowledge of prescribed burning activities within Victoria, but fewer had experience of planned fires in the Wombat State Forest. All groups agreed that areas that had not been recently burned had a better appearance than those that had, but this result may have included a range of value judgments. Land managers had a greater understanding of the ecological importance of season and timing of burning; however, some students and community members were equally knowledgeable. Prescribed burning did not impede access to the forest, nor did smoke from prescribed burns pose any great problem. The majority of the participants felt that the amount of prescribed burning done in the forest was adequate for engendering a feeling of protection to life and property, yet many were still suspicious of this management practice. These initial findings indicate several areas in which further research would be useful including the efficacy of education programs for community members and improved communication of burn plans by land managers.
