State parameters such as the state-of-charge (SOC) and state-of-health (SOH) play important role in operation of Li-ion batteries, accurate estimate is prime importance evaluating battery condition guaranteeing safe use. While it difficult to measure SOC SOH directly, internal impedance can be used obtain parameters. Recent studies have shown methods based on pseudo-random binary sequence (PRBS...

Determining accurate absolute surface energies for polar surfaces of semiconductors has been a great challenge in decades. Here, we propose pseudo-hydrogen passivation to calculate them, using density functional theory approaches. By calculating the energy contribution from pseudo-hydrogen using either a pseudo molecule method or a tetrahedral cluster method, we obtained (111)/(111) surfaces en...

We provide an efficient method to calculate the pseudo-inverse of the Laplacian of a bipartite graph, which is based on the pseudo-inverse of the normalized Laplacian.

In this study, to remove the effects of topography and surface roughness to observed spectrum initially, a method using the normalised reflectance (pseudoreflectance) was employed. Then, we examined the removal of the vegetation effects (such as green vegetation and dry vegetation) and a method to estimate soil pseudo-reflectance spectrum, because the ground surface shows the mixture of soil an...

This paper analyzes whether pseudo-panels are suitable substitutes for true panels for estimating income mobility. We obtain evidence using Chilean panel data for the period 1996-2006 and constructing pseudo-panels treating each round of the panel as if it were an independent cross-section survey. We consider three different pseudo-panel methods: the mean-based approach that identifies cohorts ...

Statistical machine translation (SMT) requires a large parallel corpus, which is available only for restricted language pairs and domains. To expand the language pairs and domains to which SMT is applicable, we created a method for estimating translation pseudo-probabilities from bilingual comparable corpora. The essence of our method is to calculate pairwise correlations between the words asso...

A new method of preparing the pseudo-pure state of a spin system for quantum computation in liquid nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) was put forward and demonstrated experimentally. Applying appropriately connected line-selective pulses simultaneously and a field gradient pulse techniques we acquired straightforwardly all pseudo-pure states for two qubits in a single experiment much efficiently....

A new collection of pseudo-words was recorded from a single female speaker of American English for use in multi-talker speech intelligibility research. The pseudo-words (known as the KARG collection) consist of three groups of single syllable pseudo-words varying only by the initial phoneme. The KARG method allows speech intelligibility to be studied free of the influence of shifts of spatial a...

We study effects of finite height and surrounding material on photonic crystal slabs of oneand two-dimensional photonic crystals with a pseudo-spectral method and finite difference time domain simulation methods. The band gap is shown to be strongly modified by the boundary material. As an application we suggest reflection and guiding of light by patterning the material on top/below the slab.
