Published: May 2022

AbstractThis letter is concerned with the physical layer security of the cooperative vehicular relay network where a source vehicle communicates with a destination vehicle via both a direct link in the presence of a location‐uncertain eavesdropping vehicle and an indirect link with the help of an amplify‐and‐forward relay vehicle. Based on the double‐Rayleigh fading model for all links, an approximate analytical expression of the average secrecy capacity of the considered system is derived. This analysis on the average secrecy capacity is shown to be validated by Monte‐Carlo simulations and numerical computations. The simulation and numerical results also demonstrate the effects of the uncertainty of the eavesdropper's location and the relay's location on the average secrecy capacity.

AbstractVoltage unbalance is a frequent problem in the power system, and using renewable energy power generation devices to achieve unbalance compensation is a promising solution compared to adding additional equipment. Most of the existing unbalance compensation schemes for inverters are implemented based on cascaded linear controllers, which have obvious disadvantages of complex structure and cumbersome parameter adjustment process. In order to develop a simpler unbalance compensation scheme, this paper first derives the equivalent sequence network (ESN) model of the unbalanced three‐phase power system, and it reveals the important role of transmission line impedance in the unbalance problem. Inspired by the ESN model, an unbalance compensation scheme based on negative sequence virtual impedance (NSVI) is determined. Then the NSVI is embedded in the inverter mathematical model, and the virtual model predictive control (VMPC) of the inverter to achieve unbalance compensation is proposed. Finally, the proposed VMPC method is validated by experiments, and a comparative analysis is carried out with linear control methods. The development process and validation results show that, compared with the unbalance compensation scheme based on cascaded linear controllers, the VMPC method proposed in this paper has a simpler structure and stable performance.

AbstractBuilding precise solar cells and PV modules models is indispensable for constructing I–V and P–V features. A crucial difficulty in the estimation process is time complexity. The application of optimization algorithms to solve the photovoltaics (PV) parameter estimation requires solving the mathematical equation through numerical analysis methods with an iterative process, leading to an increase in time complexity. This paper proposes a new objective function (OF) that can be solved using algebraic mathematics. The consequence of the proposed OF is to decrease the time and cost of implementation by reducing the complexity. The designed procedure has been tested and evaluated by estimating the PV parameters of two cases of study using Single Diode Model (SDM). The results have been validated with those obtained using the conventional OF. The paper also presented a new application of the recent optimization algorithm of the Dingo Optimization Algorithm (DOA) to reach the optimal solution for the OFs. With the proposed linear OF, the results demonstrate a 21.96% reduction in the simulation time over the nonlinear OF concerning a difference among them of 2.5460e‐06. The simulation results with statistical tests have proved the superiority of the new OF in the parameter estimation process.

AbstractEnergy storage systems are pivotal for maximising the utilisation of renewable energy sources for smart grid and microgrid systems. Among the ongoing advancements in energy storage systems, the power conditioning systems for energy storage systems represent an area that can be significantly improved by using advanced power electronics converter designs and control techniques. Normally, the battery, flywheel, ultracapacitor and superconducting magnetic energy storage are the types of energy storage systems that typically require power conditioning systems for efficient bidirectional power flows. Compared to the previous review papers, this paper critically reviews the power conditioning system configurations and control techniques from the perspective of energy storage system applications in the power systems. First, the power conditioning systems are categorised into DC bus power conditioning systems and AC bus power conditioning systems based on the output voltage types at the connected point. Next, the topologies and control configurations of popular power electronics are comparatively analysed to highlight their advantages and power system applications. Moreover, the control configurations are discussed in terms of the popular applications of energy storage systems, that is, power backup smoothing, frequency regulation, voltage regulation and power quality applications. In addition, the latest developments in the energy storage system such as multi‐functional energy storage system stacking, artificial intelligence for power conditioning system of energy storage systems and security of control of energy storage systems are critically analysed. Finally, the review is concluded by discussing industrial applications and future research trends for the power conditioning systems of energy storage systems.

Environmental requirements and site selection.
Authors: Polat A. Aytekin , Sarkhosh A. 
Published: May 2022

Abstract

This paper explores the environmental requirements and site selection of Ficus carica. The ideal conditions for dried fig production are: temperate and rainy winters, 30-40°C summer temperatures especially in July-September, 45-50% relative humidity, alluvial, clayish-loam soil, and average annual precipitation of around 650 mm. Growing fig trees in intensive production systems under hydroponic and greenhouse conditions is an excellent alternative production system since it allows increasing leaf area index, harvest index and fruit yield in relation to the total biomass of the plant. In site selection for greenhouse production, most of the same factors as used in siting an orchard location should be considered: topography, soil and water quantity and quality, and marketing factors. In addition, the most important greenhouse factors such as light, temperature, relative humidity, precipitation and ventilation should be considered, as well as the most important marketing or economic factors such as road transportation, market accessibility (proximity to settlements, market demands), availability of services (fuel, fertilizer, disinfectant and electricity), and availability of labor.

Abstract
Magnetic relaxation in a nanoparticles system depends on the intra-particle interactions, reversal mechanism, the anisotropy field, easy axis distribution, particle volume, lattice defects, surface defects, materials composite, etc. Here we report the competing magnetic states between superparamagnetic blocking and Néel transition states in 14 nm core–shell NiO nanoparticles. A crossover temperature of 50 K was observed for both these states from the zero field cooled/field cooled magnetization curves taken at different fields. At crossover temperature, an interesting M–H loop splitting is observed which is attributed to the slow spin relaxation. This anomalous M–H loop splitting behaviour was found to be particle size dependent and suppressed for diameters above and below 14 nm which indicates a critical size for these competing magnetic states. Additional neutron diffraction experiments confirmed this observation. This experimental study provides a new insight for the understanding of intra-particle interactions in fine antiferromagnetic nanoparticles and obtained results are an important step towards deeper understanding of the competing/non-competing modes between superparamagnetic blocked and Néel transition states.

Exclusive vector meson production is an excellent probe for describing the structure of protons. In this study, based on the dipole model, the differential cross sections, total cross sections, and ratios of the longitudinal to transverse cross section of the

productions are calculated with the analytical solution of the Balitsky-Kovchegov (BK) equation. In addition, we consider the influences of two meson wave function models on the results. Our predictions, which are slightly sensitive to meson wave functions, agree with the experimental data.

Possible multiple antimagnetic rotational bands in odd-A
103,105Pd and 109Cd nuclei *

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The positive-parity signature partner bands in 103,105Pd and 109Cd nuclei are investigated using the classical particle-rotor model. Based on the systematic study of neighbouring nuclei, the signature partner bands of 105Pd are assigned to the

configuration, and this assignment is also supported by the present calculations. Furthermore, the calculated

values of such bands of 105Pd reproduce the experimental values well and exhibit a decrease with increasing angular momentum, suggesting that these two bands may originate from antimagnetic rotation. Similar signature partner bands are also found in the neighboring 103Pd and 109Cd nuclei. The properties of both bands are in general agreement with the fingerprints of antimagnetic rotation, and thus the signature partner bands of 103Pd and 109Cd are suggested to be candidates for the multiple antimagnetic rotational bands of 105Pd. In addition, the evolution of the two-shears-like mechanism for possible multiple antimagnetic rotational bands in 103,105Pd and 109Cd nuclei is examined by investigating the orientation of the angular momenta.
Hadron production with collinearly-improved unintegrated gluon distributions in high energy proton-proton collisions *

Published: May 2022

Abstract
The collinearly-improved Balitsky-Kovchegov (ciBK) equation evolved unintegrated gluon distribution (UGD) is used for the first time to study hadron production in high energy proton-proton collisions in order to improve the predictive power of the Color Glass Condensate effective theory. We show that the ciBK equation evolved UGD provides a relatively better description of LHC data on the transverse momentum and integrated multiplicity distributions of charged hadron and neutral pion production for several collision energies compared with the running coupling Balitsky-Kovchegov (rcBK) equation evolved UGD. This is because the ciBK evolved UGD has a sharper transverse momentum distribution than the rcBK UGD. The impact of running coupling prescriptions on hadron production is studied, and it is found that the parent dipole and smallest dipole running coupling prescriptions provide similar depictions of the data. Moreover, the scale dependence of the fragmentation function is investigated by taking three typical values of scale. We find that the differences resulting from the scale dependence of the fragmentation function can be fully absorbed into the normalization factor, which lumps higher order corrections.
Evaluation of signal analysis algorithms for ipsilateral motor-evoked potentials induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation

Published: May 2022

Abstract

Objective. Evaluating ipsilateral motor-evoked potentials (iMEP) induced by transcranial magnetic stimulation is challenging. In healthy adults, isometric contraction is necessary to facilitate iMEP induction; therefore, the signal may be masked by the concurrent muscle activity. Signal analysis algorithms for iMEP evaluation need to be benchmarked and evaluated. Approach. An open analysis toolbox for iMEP evaluation was implemented on the basis of 11 previously reported algorithms, which were all threshold based, and a new template-based method based on data-driven signal decomposition. The reliability and validity of these algorithms were evaluated with a dataset of 4244 iMEP from 55 healthy adults. Main results. iMEP estimation varies drastically between algorithms. Several algorithms exhibit high reliability, but some appear to be influenced by background activity of muscle preactivation. Especially in healthy subjects, template-based approaches might be more valid than threshold-based ones. Measurement of iMEP persistence requires algorithms that reject some trials as MEP negative. The stricter the algorithms reject trials, the less reliable they generally are. Our evaluation identifies an optimally strict and reliable algorithm. Significance. We show different benchmarks and propose application for different use cases.
Thermal tolerance in the millipedeEuryurus leachiiGray (Polydesmida: Euryuridae)

Published: May 2022

AbstractTemperature extremes often limit animal distributions. Whereas some poikilotherms (e.g., winged insects) can escape local thermal extremes, many less vagile organisms (e.g., insect larvae and arthropods with limited dispersal ability) are at the mercy of local microenvironmental conditions. Here, we quantified the thermal tolerance of an abundant, endemic, Nearctic millipede (Euryurus leachii), and explored the effects of seasonality, mass, and sex on its critical thermal maxima (CTmax). We also measured the thermal microenvironments of dead wood representing different decay classes. Overall, the mean CTmax for this species was ca. 40.5°C. Mass and sex had no effect on millipede CTmax. However, the mean CTmax for millipedes collected in the fall was 0.6°C higher than for individuals collected in the spring. An exposed dry log representing one common microhabitat for E. leachii readily warmed to temperatures exceeding its CTmax. The results suggest that CTmax is a seasonally plastic trait in E. leachii and that microclimatic conditions potentially limit the local distribution of this species. With habitat fragmentation and climate change contributing to warmer temperatures in forested systems, understanding the responses of detritivores like E. leachii can help predict potential shifts in community composition and ecosystem processes.
