Vehicle fleet energy efficiency: Influence on overall vehicle effectiveness

Multi-level Energy Management Strategy for Fuel Cell Vehicle Based on Battery Combined Efficiency and Identification of Vehicle Operation State

The design of energy management strategy is one of the main challenges in the development of fuel cell electric vehicles. The proposed strategy should be well responsive to provide demanded power of fuel cell vehicle for motion, acceleration, and different driving conditions, resulting in reduced fuel consumption, increased lifetime of power sources and increased overall fuel efficiency. The pu...

Singapore Road Vehicle Fleet Evolution

Vehicle fleet modeling is a useful tool to analyze the dynamics of motor vehicles and their environmental impact at a macroscopic level, and has been applied in the USA and Europe. In this article, a road fleet model is constructed for the city-state Singapore. Policies that control vehicle ownership and congestion road pricing employed since 1998 differentiate Singapore’s vehicle market from o...

Vehicle influence on potassium replacement effectiveness in hypokalemic rats.

INTRODUCTION Patients who undergo cardiac surgery are commonly treated with diuretic therapy for the management of volume overload. The concern of hypokalemia important in the adult population submitted to cardiac surgery has been described. Intravenous potassium (K+) replacement dilution is only recommended with sodium chloride 0.9% solution (SF0.9%), likely due to the putative effects of gluc...
