Improving Electrical Distance Accuracy for Cable Fault Location Based on the Prony Method by Xiang Ren, Zhiqiang Feng, Kai Zhou, Xueming Zhou, Jianjun Yuan, Yefei Xu, Li Zhang

“…By establishing a frequency-variable coupling model containing the transfer function of the cable with double joint structure, studying the mapping relationship between the cable attenuation constant and the electromagnetic wave velocity, and adopting the Prony estimation method combined with the singular value decomposition noise reduction algorithm to achieve the extraction of the attenuation constant and the decoupling of the segmented wave velocity, thus improving the electrical accuracy of fault location. …”

Mechanisms Behind the Soil Organic Carbon Response to Temperature Elevations by Yonglin Wu, Haitao Li, Xinran Liang, Ming Jiang, Siteng He, Yongmei He

“…At the same time, soil aggregates, clay minerals, and iron and aluminum oxides protect the SOC, making it difficult to be utilized by microbial decomposition. The systematic clarification of the mechanism behind the SOC response to higher temperatures is crucial for accurately predicting and modeling global carbon cycles and effectively responding to the loss of SOC pools due to global temperature elevations.…”

Customers’ Perceptions as an Antecedent of Satisfaction with Online Retailing Services by Peter Misiani Mwencha, Stephen Makau Muathe

“…This paper reports the results of a study that investigated the antecedent role of customers’ perceptions vis-a-vis satisfaction with online retailing services. While the study model conceptualizes customers’ perceptions as a composite variable made up of three dimensions (perceived attributes, perceived risk and perceived value) prescribed by four established information systems (IS) and consumer behaviour frameworks, namely the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM), Perceived Risk Theory (PRT), Theory of Consumption Values (TCV) and Expectations-Artifact Model of Satisfaction (EAMS), it does not specify how the different perceptual factors infl uence online satisfaction; instead it aggregates all three dimensions into a higher-order construct called “customers’ perceptions” and tries to understand the nature of relationship between the composite independent variable and the dependent variable. …”

Stochastic processes govern gut bacterial community assembly in a Schistosoma mansoni-transmitting snail, Biomphalaria straminea. by Zhanhong Yuan, Jinni Hong, Jehangir Khan, Jinghuang Lu, Benjamin Sanogo, Zhongdao Wu, Xi Sun, Datao Lin

“…This indicates that the interplay between stochastic and deterministic processes in the snail gut microbial assembly is associated with host fitness during snail adaptation to a new environment. Based on the null model analysis, we also found that stochastic processes (based on dispersal limitation, homogenizing dispersal, and undominated processes) play a larger role than deterministic (based on homogeneous selection and variable selection) in driving the snail gut bacterial community assembly. …”
