Role of Cairns–Gurevich ion distribution on nonlinear wave propagation in negatively charged dusty plasma by N.S. Alharthi

“…The results demonstrated that soliton waves, explosive waves, and kink waves exhibit distinct behaviors depending on these parameters and the spatial context of Earth's magnetosphere. These findings provide new insights compared to previous studies into the conditions under which these waveforms emerge and evolve, especially in magnetized environments where earlier models were less effective at accurately characterizing or predicting wave behavior. …”

Research on Location Planning of Battery Swap Stations for Operating Electric Vehicles by Pengcheng Ma, Shuai Zhang, Bin Zhou, Wenqi Shao, Haowen Li, Tengfei Ma, Dong Guo

“…The article proposes a vehicle power exchange demand-oriented power exchange station siting planning scheme to meet the rapid replenishment demand of operating vehicles in urban areas. The spatial and temporal distribution of power exchange demand is predicted by considering the operation law, driving law, and charging decision of drivers; the candidate sites of power exchange stations are determined based on the data of power exchange demand; the optimization model of the site selection of power exchange stations with the lowest loss time of vehicle power exchange and the lowest cost of the planning and construction of power exchange stations is established and solved by using the joint algorithm of MLP-NSGA-II; and the optimization model is compared with the traditional genetic algorithm (GA) and the Density Peak. …”
