Enlightening of the low-dimensional high-TC superconductivity: bond contraction and electron dual polarization [低维高温超导的启示: 键收缩与电子双重极化] by Sun, Chang Qing

“…However, the new kind of high-TC superconductivity is beyond the description of the conventional Bardeen-Cooper-Schrieffer (BCS) theory. Here we address these two issues based on the bond order-length-strength correlation and nonbonding electron polarization (BOLS-NEP) notion for the effect of atomic undercoordination and the hydrogen bond (O:H-O equivalent of O:Cu-O) cooperativity and polarizability (HBCP) premise for water ice with involvement of electron lone pairs ":" interactions. …”

Distributed hybrid secondary control for a DC microgrid via discrete-time interaction by Liu, Xiao-Kang, He, Haibo, Wang, Yan-Wu, Xu, Qianwen, Guo, Fanghong

“…Different from most existing methods, it only utilizes the sampling output current information of neighbors at the discrete time instants, which greatly reduces the communication burden. Under the framework of stability analysis on the closed-loop system, the proposed hybrid dynamic controller achieves both current sharing and voltage regulation if the average interacted interval of the discrete time interaction satisfies a bounded constraint. …”
