Once lithium-ion batteries degrade to below about 80% of their original capacity, they are no longer considered satisfactory for electric vehicles (EVs), but still adequate second-life energy storage applications. However, once this level is reached, capacity fade increases at a much faster rate, and the spread between cell capacities becomes wider. If passive equalizer (PEQ) from EV used, batt...

We investigate the embeddings of the value group and residue field of a real closed valued field A in Aeq via quantifier elimination in a three sorted language. We classify the one types of field elements in a real closed valued field. Finally, we investigate some of the linear structure in Aeq induced by the valuation ring V and introduce the geometric sorts. In a subsequent paper we show that...

OBJECTIVE The aim of the present study was to analyze the relationship and differential validity of three constructs related to reduced emotional expression. METHODS One hundred six patients of a psychosomatic clinic completed questionnaires assessing alexithymia (TAS-20, BVAQ), ambivalence over emotional expression (AEQ-G18), and social insecurity (UQ). RESULTS A second-order principal com...

This study used Pekrun’s control-value theory (CVT) as a framework to validate the Achievement Emotion Questionnaire – Second Language Learning (AEQ-L2L) for assessing eight student emotions in second language (L2) learning. We tested and validated instrument two samples using three waves of data, with total number 1,021 Chinese university students. Item scale statistics indicate AEQ-L2L is rel...

OBJECTIVE This pilot study examined the extent to which a specific mechanism of emotion regulation - namely, ambivalence concerning the expressiveness of German soldiers' emotions - affects the severity of PTSD symptoms after a military operation. METHODOLOGY A survey was conducted at three points in time among 66 soldiers deployed on military crisis operations. The Harvard Trauma Questionair...
