This paper presents an effective technique to monitor and predict the open circuit voltage (OCV) for lead-acid battery cells. The underlying principal of the technique described in this paper employs one simple equation to predict the equilibrated cell voltage after a small rest period. The technique was tested and analyzed using results obtained from experiments conducted at the Yuasa Battery ...

Electric vehicles should be connected to power system for charge and discharge of battery. Besides vehicle's battery is charged for a power source, it is also reversibly possible to provide power source from battery to power system. Researches on battery usage for regulation resources have been progressed and could cause cost increase excessively because they distribute regulation capacity equa...

Advanced electrochemical batteries are becoming an integral part of a wide range of applications from household and commercial to smart grid, transportation, and aerospace applications. Among different battery technologies, lithium-ion (Li-ion) batteries are growing more and more popular due to their high energy density, high galvanic potential, low self-discharge, low weight, and the fact that...

Over the course of the past two decades, the Interactive Tracks at TREC and INEX have contributed greatly to our knowledge of how to run an interactive IR evaluation campaign. In this position paper, we add to this body of knowledge by taking stock of our own experiences and challenges in organizing the CHIC and SBS Interactive Tracks from 2013 to 2016 in the form of a list of important propert...

As part of the UMaine Rising Tide effort, the program goals, initiatives, and activities will be studied in order to expand the knowledge and literature base relative to women faculty in STEM and SBS fields. The study described below draws upon research across disciplinary fields including higher education, psychology, sociology, business, and women’s studies. This interdisciplinary approach wi...

FGSS117F Social Norms and Social Power (FYS) This FYS is an interdisciplinary exploration of the privileges and penalties associated with "the normal" in the United States. We will think through the intersections of queerness, race, ethnicity, class, disability, and gender in terms of social power, drawing on novels, ethnographies, memoirs, and films. Throughout, we will pay particular attentio...

The Social Book Search (SBS) Lab is part of CLEF 2015 lab series. This is the third time that the CYUT CSIE team attends the SBS track. Based on a full-text search engine, we build a social feature re-ranking system and introduce more knowledge on understanding the queries. We defined a set of rules to filtering out unnecessary books from the recommendation list. The official run results show t...

This paper presents the joint work of the Universities of Grenoble and Saint-Étienne at CLEF 2016 Social Book Search Suggestion Track. The approaches studied are based on personalization, considering the user’s profile in the ranking process. The profile is filtered using Word Embedding, by proposing several ways to handle the generated relationships between terms. We find that tackling the pro...
