1 The aim of this research is to develop a location model of rapid charging stations for electric vehicles (EV) 2 in urban areas considering the batteries’ state-of-charge (SOC) and the users’ charging and traveling 3 behaviors. EVs are developed to prepare for the energy crisis and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In 4 order to help relieve range anxiety, an adequate number of EV charging stat...

We examine the pass-through of wholesale prices to retail prices in the market for E85, which contains 51% – 83% ethanol, and in the much larger market for E10 (regular unleaded gasoline), which contains 10% ethanol. We use a panel data set consisting of monthly observations from 2007-March 2015 on wholesale and retail prices for 274 Minnesota gas stations that sell both E10 and E85. The E10 ma...

We introduce a practically important and theoretically challenging problem: finding the minimum cost path for plug-in hybrid electric vehicles (PHEVs) in a network with refueling and battery switching stations, considering electricity and gasoline as sources of energy with different cost structures and limitations. We show that this problem is NP-complete even though its electric vehicle and co...

OBJECTIVES Quarantine measure for prevention of epidemic disease and further evaluations of their efficiency are possible only by elaborating analyses of imported cases. The purpose of this study was to analyze descriptive epidemiological characteristics of pandemic influenza A (H1N1) cases imported to Korea. METHODS We collected two sets of data. The first set, comprised daily reported cases...

Digital tuning systems are fast replacing the conventional mechanical systems in AM/FM and television receivers. The desirability of the digital approach is mainly due to the following features: Y Precise tuning of station frequencies Y Exact digital frequency display Y Keyboard entry of desired frequency Y Virtually unlimited station memory Y Up/down scanning through the band Y Station ‘‘searc...

The aim of the study was to identify and quantify concentrations potential sources Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) present in dust particles at fuel filling stations Tamale Metropolis. Sixteen USEPA recognised PAHs were identified after samples analysed their using PAH isomeric ratios. Sample extraction conducted an Accelerated Solvent Extractor (ASE) levels further GC-MS system. total ...

Electricity is one of the most vital ingredients of socio-economic development of a developing country like Bangladesh. Sufficient supply of electricity is essential for attracting both domestic and foreign investment. Bangladesh electricity generation is heavily dependent on fossil fuel mostly natural gas. Due to lack of gas supply to the power plants, the Bangladesh government has ordered par...
