SOC Estimation Gregory L. Plett, consultant to Compact Power Inc., and Assistant Professor, University of Colorado at Colorado Springs Abstract hHEV environment harsh: Rates up to ±25C, very dynamic rate profiles. hVery different from low-rate / constant-rate portable electronics. hSOC estimation must be done differently — if precise SOC estimation is required by the HEV, then a very accurate c...

Co-creation is a common term used in place branding to describe the involvement of stakeholders creation place’s brand. The motivation behind co-creation that it will add depth and legitimacy Through process co-creation, also hoped become active ambassadors brand its values. Co-creation, however, far from simple practice—places are complicated, budgets often small competing interests many. This...

The present article studies Quranic quotations in the poetry of Mohammad Iqbal Lahori based on the approach of intertextuality. Iqbal is one of the greatest poets and intellectuals of the Eastern Muslim world. Quran is a source of inspiration both in his life and poetic career. His poetry is interwoven with Quran through intertextual Quotations. These Quranic quotations are central to the produ...

The classical orthogonal polynomials are given as the polynomial solutions pnðxÞ of the differential equation rðxÞy00ðxÞ þ sðxÞy0ðxÞ þ knyðxÞ 1⁄4 0; where rðxÞ is a polynomial of at most second degree and sðxÞ is a polynomial of first degree. In this paper a general method to express the coefficients An; Bn and Cn of the recurrence equation pnþ1ðxÞ 1⁄4 ðAnxþ BnÞpnðxÞ Cnpn 1ðxÞ in terms of the g...

RNA catalysis seems to be considerably more wide spread than originally thought, with the most prominent example being the ribosome, where RNA catalyses the peptidyl-transferase reaction. Among the most and longest studied catalytic RNAs are the small nucleolytic ribozymes, such as the hairpin, VS, HDV and hammerhead ribozymes. They all catalyse the site-specific cleavage of their own phosphodi...

The traveling salesman problem (TSP) asks for a shortest tour through all vertices of a graph with respect to the weights of the edges. The symmetric quadratic traveling salesman problem (SQTSP) associates a weight with every three vertices traversed in succession. If these weights correspond to the turning angles of the tour, we speak of the angular-metric traveling salesman problem (Angle TSP...

Our friends often remind us that scientists are strange beasts. As such, it is fitting that we should rejoice at the release of a major new genome by further scholarship and analysis – using the genome to unravel new elements of plant physiology and evolution. In this Feature Issue we celebrate the completion of the genome of Eucalyptus grandis (Myburg et al., 2014), the first representative of...

The small and simple gaseous molecule ethylene (C2H4) is usually associated with ripening and senescence events in plants. Its effects have been known for ages (literally), and in the last century there have been some major breakthroughs in ethylene biology. These breakthroughs include the discovery that the molecule that hastened the ripening of fruits and caused growth distortions in plants w...

Rice (Oryza sativa), the primary source of calories for more than 2 billion people, is the most sensitive of all cereal crops to soil salinity, which affectsmore than 20% of irrigated arable land (FAO and ITPS, 2015). Rice paddies are mainly located at the delta of rivers, where they can be inundated with saline floods at any developmental stage. Vegetative and reproductive phases are the most ...
