The key parameter driving behavior of dust particles in plasma is their electric charge [1]. Present-day theories as well as experiments are not fully successful in determining its value [2]. Moreover, the theoretical uncertainties are increased in the plasma sheath – a think plasma layer at a wall or electrode. The standard models of dust charging in the plasma sheath usually suppose Maxwellia...

In this paper, we propose a new charging scheme for multi-domain Differentiated Services (DiffServ) networks. Our scheme considers the existence of non-DiffServ networks on the route of transmission. The charging agent at the edge of the source domain inserts Charging Measurement (CM) packets in the DiffServ traffic, which contain traffic and charging information. The CM packets are subsequentl...

As known that the traditional DC constant voltage charging equipment not only can cause the battery overcharge or insufficient charging, but also the charging time is too long. In the paper, based on the theory of pulse charging method and the design of the pulsed fast intelligent charging equipment is presented, the implementation of hardware and software process of the system is given out, th...

A study on plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging load and its impacts on distribution transformers loss-of-life, is presented in this paper. The assessment is based on residential PEV battery charging. As the exact forecasting of the charging load is not possible, the method for predicting the electric vehicle (EV) charging load is stochastically formulated. With the help of the stochastic mo...

Flexibility in plug-in electric vehicle (PEV) charging can reduce PEV charging costs. Moreover, controlled PEV charging can be viewed as a limited form of energy storage, insomuch as charging loads are shifted from high-cost periods to lower-cost ones. Energy storage that is used for generation shifting is used in much the same manner. In this paper, we study these benefits of PEV charging, dem...

Abstract: As known that the traditional DC constant voltage charging equipment not only can cause the battery overcharge or insufficient charging, but also the charging time is too long. In the paper, based on the theory of pulse charging method and the design of the pulsed fast intelligent charging equipment is presented, the implementation of hardware and software process of the system is giv...

Improvements in health result in improvements in national income, poverty could decline on account of both the standard ‘trickle-down’ effects and an increased financial capacity of nations to set up safety nets. Poverty can have an adverse impact on health because of malnutrition and also due to poor sanitation; unsafe drinking water supply etc. Odisha is an eastern state of India. Health infr...

Continuum solvent models predict a quadratic charge dependence (linear response) of the free energy of a system of charged solutes. The relation between this prediction and the structure of the solvation shell around the solutes is discussed. Studies of the derivative of the free energy with respect to the charges for different reference states are shown to be a convenient way of testing the li...

This study seeks to investigate the growth in agricultural, industrial and services sector of Pakistan in terms of their relative impacts on poverty reduction within the country. Further, it identifies the dynamic effects of growth on poverty as a way to capture the usual ‘trickle down’ effects. Secondary data ranging from 1981-2010 are used in the analysis and the results are obtained through ...

This study exploits the introduction of the London Congestion Charge (CC) that greatly improves traffic conditions in Central London to provide new evidence on the capitalization of traffic externalities onto housing values. The Congestion Charge restricts traffic into the cordoned area by imposing a flat fee on drivers whenever they enter during charging periods. I show that the introduction o...
