An electronic charge compensation device (ECCD) is a passive device that carries electrical currents away, on time, to the electrical Earth field. It prevents lightning’s impacts, derivative electric current pulses, and reduces the radiofrequency disturbances in the protected area. The objective of this paper is to give a physical explanation of the operation of an ECCD’s performance and advantages. The operation of an ECCD is the result of two actions: the static electric field and the evanescent and resonant electrical radiofrequency field in the nearby external adjoining to dielectric-metal zone of ECCD. The energy absorption only is logically justified considering a super-absorption process as an end of chain of resonant quantum event. In this study, a multi-resonant process was inferred from an exhaustive radiofrequency simulation analysis made on an ECCD. The primary experiment was a long-time-frame statistical analysis of seven different, real stations. Those empirical results were derived from real METEORAGE environmental services data. Finally, a prospective for new applications is given.

The year 2020 was very challenging for the whole world, given the outbreak of the ongoing coronavirus-related pandemic, and was marked in particular by overcoming new hitherto unknown obstacles. For air transport, in particular, airlines stopped flying altogether and were forced to ground hundreds of planes worldwide involuntarily. Airports had to close their terminals for a long time, wholly suspend operations, and its resumption required significant organizational changes. This article summarizes the measures related to the COVID-19 pandemic adopted by airports to minimize the risk of spreading the disease. The article focuses on countermeasures and their implementation at selected airports in a specific time frame and airports’ behavior during a pandemic which varies depending on country and time of the year. The results demonstrated that steps being taken at airports include the use of face coverings or masks, social distance, enhanced cleaning and disinfection, or temperature checks and/or symptoms (fever, loss of smell, chills, cough, shortness of breath), RT-PCR (reverse transcription-polymerase chain reaction) screening and data collection with health declaration. These measures have now become an essential standard for the operation of airports and can, therefore, be used to assess the level of airport safety achieved. In the final phase, the article evaluates the level of achieved airport safety based on the proposed scoring method.

One of the fundamental challenges of climate change is that we contribute to it increment by increment, and experience it increment by increment after a considerable time lag. As a consequence, it is very difficult to see what we are doing to ourselves, to future generations, and to the living planet as a whole. There are monumental ethical issues involved, but they are obscured by the incremental nature of the process and the long time frame before reaching the concentration of greenhouse gases and the ensuing accumulation of radiant heat—and consequent climate change—that ensues.

Navigation Method

The mobile terminals must be compensated for the Doppler effect in their moving communication. This special characteristic of mobile communication can be developed in some new applications. This paper proposes methods to realize mobile navigation calculation via Doppler shifts. It gives the theory of relationship between the motion parameters, like directions and speed, and frequency shifts caused by multibase stations. The simulation illustrates how to compute the movement parameters of numerical calculation and what should be care for the problem near angle 90 degree. It also gives an application with Google map and dynamical locating position and direction on a mobile phone by public wireless network. Given the simulation analysis and navigation test, the results show that this method has a good effect.

Rotation Of The Earth

During the period, work on the problem of the Earth’s rotation has continued to expand and increase its scope. The total number of institutions engaged in the determination of the Earth’s rotation parameters (ERP) by different techniques has been increased significantly. The rotation of the Earth is currently measured by classical astrometry, Doppler and laser satellite tracking, laser ranging of the Moon, and radio interferometry. Several long time series of the ERP are available from most of these techniques, in particular, those made during the Main Campaign of the MERIT project. The various series have been intercompared and their stability, in the time frame of years to days, has been estimated for the purposes of establishing a new conventional terrestrial reference system (COTES). On the other hand, the difficulties of maintaining a regular operation for laser ranging to the Moon (LLR) have been recognized. It resulted in the proposal to organize an one-month campaign of observations in 1985 in order to complement the COTES collocation program and to allow additional intercomparisons with other techniques.

The light steel structure is always the common material of the movable plank house, and the new bud light steel system is the light steel system used for a long time after the earthquake. This paper discusses the mechanical system of the light steel structure of Huoshenshan hospital, which was built in ten days. In the process of building, the geometric form of roof stress has changed. In the actual structural design, the designer seldom takes the calculation of construction load into account, which is quite different from the actual construction process. So it is very important to simulate and monitor the whole process of structure installation. In this paper, the finite element software MIDAS / Gen is used for simulation analysis to ensure that the simulation analysis results are consistent with the construction process, the model material and the actual size are completely consistent, and the stress simulated by the software can meet the needs of the actual stress through the actual measurement.

Abstract  This research examines the extent to which partisan agenda fragmentation is occurring within the American public. Though numerous scholars of public opinion and political communication have warned of the deleterious effects of agenda fragmentation, to this point such fragmentation has been demonstrated only across a small number of issues over short periods of time. This research is the first to utilize both a large set of issues and a long time frame to assess the state of partisan agendas from 1959 to 2015 through the use of individual-level Gallup’s “Most Important Problem” polls. Findings show that the public agenda has fragmented on a large number of issues, in terms of both the level of and shifts in attention that partisans accord to issues of the day. Additionally, this research highlights the importance of recent increases in agenda diversity and carrying capacity to fragmentation, demonstrating that while the presence of large, obtrusive issues tends to be associated with correspondence in partisan agendas, the ordering of partisan issue agendas has decoupled substantially in recent decades.

To guarantee the uninterrupted operation of an IoT node, IoT nodes are installed with energy harvesting techniques to prolong their lifetime and recharge their batteries. Mostly energy harvesting systems collect energy from sunlight and wind. However, the energy harvested from the sunlight is non-continuous and energy harvested from the wind is insufficient for continuously powering an IoT node. Thus, to resolve this problem, authors proposed an energy harvesting system namely SWEH which harvests energy from solar light and wind. In this article, authors proposed a scheduling algorithm to balance the energy produced by SWEH and the energy consumption of an IoT node that results in the energy neutral system. Results from simulation analysis clearly manifest that the proposed SWEH system extracts more energy as compared to energy produced by a single solar panel or wind turbine. With the help of simulation results, authors also show that the proposed algorithm leaves the system in energy neutral state at the end of particular time frame.
