.... Carbon evaporates in a higher fraction as clustered ions leading to detector pile-up during so-called multiple hits. To achieve higher accuracy, a grid was positioned behind the local electrode, reducing the detection efficiency from 52 to 7% and thereby reducing the fraction of multi-hit events...

... of electric vehicles has begun to increase dramatically, which relies on the reliable Electric Vehicle Charging Pile (EVCP). However, most EVCPs are online and networked, introducing many potential network threats, such as Electricity Theft, Identity Theft and False Data Injection etc. Prior work has mostly...

..., it can be divided into the following four designs: fixed pile-based photovoltaic, floating photovoltaic, floating photovoltaic tracking system and water level variation PV. Therefore, this review makes a comprehensive description of the four forms of water photovoltaic. In this review, we briefly assess...

... as individual peaks without significant background. To avoid detector deadtime issues (commonly referred to as “pile-up”), data were often collected at rates such that multiple-ion emissions during a single ToF pulse were statistically insignificant (Rolander & Andren, 1994 ; Miller, 2000 ), although some...

The test method, analysis procedure and results of test are briefly introduced in this paper. Besides, a finite element method by using the computer...

..., an efficient method is proposed to derive cyclic p-y curves from either push-over or shaking table test results. The Fourier series function, satisfying the boundary conditions of a pile, is used to represent deflection behavior of the pile-soil system at each instant of time during loading interval...

One method is to utilize a building foundation by incorporating ground loops within the structure. The vertical concrete pile is one such structure, which is particularly suitable for loop inclusion, and indeed, many...
