Global automakers are speeding up both the suspension of production internal combustion engine vehicles and transition to electric (EVs) in order respond global goals become carbon-free energy-efficient. Recently, vehicle-to-grid (V2G) technology has reached commercialization stage Korea. Many studies have mostly discussed profits that an EV owner can make by participating a regulation program....

This paper concerns the approximate ancillary needed for higher order asymptotic likelihood inference. The existence of an exact or approximate ancillary is the key to such inference. The exact ancillary is, however, only available for transformation model and an approximate ancillary is typically very difficult to find. Fraser (1988) revealed that the high order inference can be obtained by us...

Since the first discovery of Kvbeta-subunits more than 15 years ago, many more ancillary Kv channel subunits were characterized, for example, KChIPs, KCNEs, and BKbeta-subunits. The ancillary subunits are often integral parts of native Kv channels, which, therefore, are mostly multiprotein complexes composed of voltage-sensing and pore-forming Kvalpha-subunits and of ancillary or beta-subunits....

Ancillary services are support services which are essential for humanizing and enhancing the reliability and security of the electric power system. Reactive power ancillary service is one of the important ancillary services in a restructured electricity market which determines the cost of supplying ancillary services and finding of how this cost would change with respect to operating decisions....

Attribution of the causes of trends in nutrient loading is often limited to correlation, qualitative reasoning, or references to the work of others. This paper represents efforts to improve causal attribution of water-quality changes. The Red River of the North basin provides a regional test case because of international interest in the reduction of total phosphorus loads and the availability o...

Spatial distributed information of isochronal surface soil moisture is very important to compensate the inaccuracy of initial conditions and the uncertainty of parameters in hydrological models at the landscape scale. In this paper the conceptual procedure to derive spatial distributed surface soil moisture values from synthetic aperture radar data by using ancillary optical remote sensing data...

We present a new algorithm to generate rainfall estimates with the thermal infrared (IR) band. The algorithm merges ancillary passive microwave (PMW) data from SSM/I with IR images to generate rainfall rates at the spatial and temporal resolutions of the IR sensor. Comparison against independent land-GPCC data shows how the algorithm slightly improves the GOES precipitation index (GPI) estimate...

The definition of sudden infant death syndrome (SIDS) originally appeared in 1969 and was modified 2 decades later. During the following 15 years, an enormous amount of additional information has emerged, justifying additional refinement of the definition of SIDS to incorporate epidemiologic features, risk factors, pathologic features, and ancillary test findings. An expert panel of pediatric a...
