However, fast charging exacerbates battery degradation and shortens battery lifespan. In addition, there is still a lack of tailored health estimations for fast-charging batteries;most existing methods are applicable at lower charging rates. This paper proposes a novel method for estimating the health of lithium-ion batteries, which is tailored for multi-stage constant current-constant voltage fast-charging policies. Initially, short charging segments are extracted by monitoring current switches,followed by deriving voltage sequences using interpolation techniques. Subsequently, a graph generation layer is used to transform the voltage sequence into graphical data. Furthermore, the integration of a graph convolution network with a long short-term memory network enables the extraction of information related to inter-node message transmission, capturing the key local and temporal features during the battery degradation process. Finally, this method is confirmed by utilizing aging data from 185 cells and 81 distinct fast-charging policies. The 4-minute charging duration achieves a balance between high accuracy in estimating battery state of health and low data requirements, with mean absolute errors and root mean square errors of 0.34% and 0.66%, respectively.展开更多

The state functions density ρ(p,T), and Gibbs energy G(p,T), of fluids, e.g. CO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O and argon exhibit a symmetry characterised by the rigidity, ω = (dp/dρ)<sub>T</sub>, between gaseous and liquid states along any isotherm from critical (T<sub>c</sub>) to Boyle (T<sub>B</sub>) temperatures, on either side of the supercritical mesophase. Here, using experimental data for fluid argon, we investigate the low-density cluster physics description of an ideal dilute gas that obeys Dalton’s partial pressure law. Cluster expansions in powers of density relate to a supercritical liquid-phase rigidity symmetry (RS) line (ω = ρ<sub>rs</sub>(T) = RT) to gas phase virial coefficients. We show that it is continuous in all derivatives, linear within stable fluid phase, and relates analytically to the Boyle-work line (BW) (w = (p/ρ)<sub>T</sub> = RT), and to percolation lines of gas (PB) and liquid (PA) phases by: ρ<sub>BW</sub>(T) = 2ρ<sub>PA</sub>(T) = 3ρ<sub>PB</sub>(T) = 3ρ<sub>RS</sub>(T)/2 for T T<sub>B</sub>. These simple relationships arise, because the higher virial coefficients (b<sub>n</sub>, n ≥ 4) cancel due to clustering equilibria, or become negligible at all temperatures (0 T T<sub>B</sub>)<sub> </sub>within the gas phase. The Boyle-work line (p/ρ<sub>BW</sub>)<sub>T</sub> is related exactly at lower densities as T → T<sub>B</sub>, and accurately for liquid densities, by ρ<sub>BW</sub>(T) = −(b<sub>2</sub>/b<sub>3</sub>)<sub>T</sub>. The RS line, ω(T) = RT, defines a new liquid-density ground-state physical constant (ρ<sub>RS</sub>(0) = (2/3)ρ<sub>BW</sub>(0) for argon). Given the gas-liquid rigidity symmetry, the entire thermodynamic state functions below T<sub>B</sub> are obtainable from b<sub>2</sub>(T). A BW-line ground-state crystal density ρ<sub>BW</sub>(0) can be defined by the pair potential minimum. The Ar<sub>2</sub> pair potential, ∅ij</sub>(r<sub>ij</sub>) determines b<sub>2</sub>(T) analytically for all T. This report, therefore, advances the salient objective of liquid-state theory: an argon p(ρ,T) Equation-of-state is obtained from ∅<sub>ij</sub>(r<sub>ij</sub>) for all fluid states, without any adjustable parameters.展开更多

By sampling and learning for uncertain quantum systems, the robustness of control pulses found by these four algorithms is also demonstrated and compared. The resulting research shows that the QPSO nearly outperforms the other three algorithms for all the performance criteria considered.This conclusion provides an important reference for solving complex quantum control problems by optimization algorithms and makes the QPSO be a powerful optimization tool.展开更多

文摘We report progress towards a modern scientific description of thermodynamic properties of fluids following the discovery (in 2012) of a coexisting critical density hiatus and a supercritical mesophase defined by percolation transitions. The state functions density ρ(p,T), and Gibbs energy G(p,T), of fluids, e.g. CO<sub>2</sub>, H<sub>2</sub>O and argon exhibit a symmetry characterised by the rigidity, ω = (dp/dρ)<sub>T</sub>, between gaseous and liquid states along any isotherm from critical (T<sub>c</sub>) to Boyle (T<sub>B</sub>) temperatures, on either side of the supercritical mesophase. Here, using experimental data for fluid argon, we investigate the low-density cluster physics description of an ideal dilute gas that obeys Dalton’s partial pressure law. Cluster expansions in powers of density relate to a supercritical liquid-phase rigidity symmetry (RS) line (ω = ρ<sub>rs</sub>(T) = RT) to gas phase virial coefficients. We show that it is continuous in all derivatives, linear within stable fluid phase, and relates analytically to the Boyle-work line (BW) (w = (p/ρ)<sub>T</sub> = RT), and to percolation lines of gas (PB) and liquid (PA) phases by: ρ<sub>BW</sub>(T) = 2ρ<sub>PA</sub>(T) = 3ρ<sub>PB</sub>(T) = 3ρ<sub>RS</sub>(T)/2 for T T<sub>B</sub>. These simple relationships arise, because the higher virial coefficients (b<sub>n</sub>, n ≥ 4) cancel due to clustering equilibria, or become negligible at all temperatures (0 T T<sub>B</sub>)<sub> </sub>within the gas phase. The Boyle-work line (p/ρ<sub>BW</sub>)<sub>T</sub> is related exactly at lower densities as T → T<sub>B</sub>, and accurately for liquid densities, by ρ<sub>BW</sub>(T) = −(b<sub>2</sub>/b<sub>3</sub>)<sub>T</sub>. The RS line, ω(T) = RT, defines a new liquid-density ground-state physical constant (ρ<sub>RS</sub>(0) = (2/3)ρ<sub>BW</sub>(0) for argon). Given the gas-liquid rigidity symmetry, the entire thermodynamic state functions below T<sub>B</sub> are obtainable from b<sub>2</sub>(T). A BW-line ground-state crystal density ρ<sub>BW</sub>(0) can be defined by the pair potential minimum. The Ar<sub>2</sub> pair potential, ∅ij</sub>(r<sub>ij</sub>) determines b<sub>2</sub>(T) analytically for all T. This report, therefore, advances the salient objective of liquid-state theory: an argon p(ρ,T) Equation-of-state is obtained from ∅<sub>ij</sub>(r<sub>ij</sub>) for all fluid states, without any adjustable parameters.
文摘In this paper, we intend to consider a kind of nonlinear Klein-Gordon equation coupled with Born-Infeld theory. By using critical point theory and the method of Nehari manifold, we obtain two existing results of infinitely many high-energy radial solutions and a ground-state solution for this kind of system, which improve and generalize some related results in the literature.

文摘The spatial distribution of vortex bound states is often anisotropic,which is correlated with the underlying property of materials.In this work,we examine the effects of Fermi surface anisotropy on vortex bound states.The large-scale calculation of vortex bound states is introduced in the presence of fourfold or twofold Fermi surface by solving the Bogoliubov–de Gennes(BdG)equations.Two kinds of quasiparticles’behaviors can be extracted from the local density of states(LDOS)around a vortex.The angle-dependent quasiparticles will move from high energy to low energy when the angle varies from curvature maxima to minima of the Fermi surface,while the angle-independent quasiparticles tend to stay at a relatively higher energy.In addition,the weight of angle-dependent quasiparticles can be enhanced by the increasing anisotropy degree of Fermi surface.

文摘Four intelligent optimization algorithms are compared by searching for control pulses to achieve the preparation of target quantum states for closed and open quantum systems, which include differential evolution(DE), particle swarm optimization(PSO), quantum-behaved particle swarm optimization(QPSO), and quantum evolutionary algorithm(QEA).We compare their control performance and point out their differences. By sampling and learning for uncertain quantum systems, the robustness of control pulses found by these four algorithms is also demonstrated and compared. The resulting research shows that the QPSO nearly outperforms the other three algorithms for all the performance criteria considered.This conclusion provides an important reference for solving complex quantum control problems by optimization algorithms and makes the QPSO be a powerful optimization tool.

文摘Accurate knowledge of gas flow within the reservoir and related controlling factors will be important for enhancing the production of coal bed methane.At present,most studies focused on the permeability evolution of dry coal under gas adsorption equilibrium,gas flow and gas diffusion within wet coal under the generally non-equilibrium state are often ignored in the process of gas recovery.In this study,an improved apparent permeability model is proposed which accommodates the water and gas adsorption,stress dependence,water film thickness and gas flow regimes.In the process of modeling,the water adsorption is only affected by water content while the gas adsorption is time and water content dependent;based on poroelastic mechanics,the effective fracture aperture and effective pore radius are derived;and then the variation in water film thickness for different pore types under the effect of water content,stress and adsorption swelling are modeled;the flow regimes are considered based on Beskok’s model.Further,after validation with experimental data,the proposed model was applied to numerical simulations to investigate the evolution of permeability-related factors under the effect of different water contents.The gas flow in wet coal under the non-equilibrium state is explicitly revealed.

文摘In this paper,we consider the nonlinear Kirchhoff type equation with a steep potential well−(a+b∫_(R)^(3)|∇u|^(2 )dx)Δu+λV(x)u=f(u)in R^(3),where a,b>0 are constants,λ is a positive parameter,V∈C(R3,R)is a steep potential well and the nonlinearity f∈C(R,R)satisfies certain assumptions.By applying a signchanging Nehari manifold combined with the method of constructing a sign-changing(PS)C sequence,we obtain the existence of ground state sign-changing solutions with precisely two nodal domains when λ is large enough,and find that its energy is strictly larger than twice that of the ground state solutions.In addition,we also prove the concentration of ground state sign-changing solutions.

文摘On 7 October,2022,the Biden administration released an updated version of the National Strategy for the Arctic Region based on new developments in the Arctic region and global affairs.This strategy emphasizes traditional security issues in the Arctic,attaches great importance to climate governance in the region,and advocates for restoring American leadership through international cooperation.In view of the strong influence of the United States(U.S.)in the Arctic region,the changes of the U.S.Arctic strategy will inevitably have an impact on China’s scientific researchrights,economic interests,and governance rights in the Arctic region.To respond to the new situation brought about by the changes in the U.S.Arctic strategy,China should take the initiative to maintain positive relationships with all Arctic countries,and continue its active participation in Arctic affairs.
