Sophisticated data of the experimental DCV (discharging/charging voltage) of a lithium-ion battery is required for high-accuracy SOC (state-of-charge) estimation algorithms based on the state-space ECM (electrical circuit model) in BMSs (battery management systems). However, when sensing noisy...

This paper investigates a practical universal modeling of multi-cell battery strings in series and parallel connections to show high an accuracy SOC (state-of-charge) estimation based on the EKF (extended Kalman filter) if cell-to-cell variations are taken into account and settled by the...

This study examines the exogenous factors that affect South Korean consumers' intentions to join brand pages. The findings suggest that utilitarian and hedonic values of social media advertising enhance users' positive attitudes toward social media advertising, but attitudes toward social media...

This work deals with a diagnosis of cathode flooding and membrane drying associated with a low frequency ripple current of a polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) based on impedance measurement on 12 single cells using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). Average values of the...

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to understand the corporate sustainability culture of contracting firms, particularly in the Midwest. Many of the local firms operate nationally. The local corporate culture influences their regional offices. Other than convenience, the firms are selected...

Although the viability of global marketing is disputed, the best opportunities for pursuing basically the same strategy across national borders are in industrial marketing. However, because of the disparities across world markets, segmentation is essential to assessing opportunities for a...

AB Product warranties, in general, have not been employed by marketers as an important strategic tool, yet the business in extended warranties, service contracts, and maintenance agreements appears to be booming. But why? This article examines current practices, discusses critical issues raised...
