In this article we describe the OAUC’s participation in the CLEF 2015 SBS Search Suggestion track. We are trying to represent appeal elements, used in readers’ advisory theory and practice, to see if they can be used in an automatic retrieval and recommendation context. We are starting out with the pace appeal element, used on fiction to representing how quickly a buildup of the story is. The r...

bangladesh is one of the smaller states in asia. but it has a long and rich history of nuclear medicine for over sixty years. the progress in science and technology is always challenging in a developing country. in 1958, work for the first nuclear medicine facility was commenced in dhaka in a tin-shed known as ‘radioisotope centre’ and was officially inaugurated in 1962. since the late 50s of t...

Lead acid batteries are one of the most commonly used batteries. Monitoring the performance parameters of the battery provides essential data useful for managing the batteries efficiently. This paper proposes a highly accurate and efficient battery monitoring system based on NI LabVIEW. As the calculations are done on computer, this system is faster than micro-controller based systems and provi...

Among the significant issues of the subcontinental region, one can refer to the concern over Pakistan’s inability to maintain the security of its nuclear facilities, the illegal increase in its nuclear weapon production, extremist organizations’ access to nuclear weapons, as well as the fact that this country has not joined the NPT treaty. Meanwhile, the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA...

Range anxiety and battery cycle life are two major factors which restrict the development of electric vehicles. Battery degradation can be reduced by adding supercapacitors to create a Hybrid Energy Storage System. This paper proposes a systematic approach to configure the hybrid energy storage system and quantifies the battery degradation for electric vehicles when using supercapacitors. A con...

For the simulation of protocols and algorithms of mobile devices, an ideal energy source, i.e. a battery with linear charge and discharge characteristics, is often assumed. However, real batteries like lithium-ion cells show nonlinear behavior, taking Rate Capacity Effect and Recovery Effect into account. The battery model presented by Rakhmatov and Vrudhula models non-linear battery behavior a...

The operation of a battery power bank with series-connected buck–boost-type battery power modules (BPMs) was investigated in this study. Each BPM consisted of a battery pack with an associated buck–boost converter for individually controlling battery currents. With a proposed discharging scenario, load voltage regulation with charge equalization among batteries was performed by controlling the ...
