    In recent years, frequent and substantial area-wide power outages have underscored the critical need for cities to possess robust backup power sources capable of swift response to prevent prolonged power system disruptions. Electric vehicles can contribute electricity to the power grid using vehicle-to-grid technology. The power delivered by electric vehicles in this context is termed as response capability. However, existing studies have overlooked response capability dynamics during transitions between electric vehicle states-such as the shift from charging or discharging to an idle state, thereby hindering a comprehensive understanding of this aspect. Hence, this paper introduces a multi-timescale response capability prediction model that evaluates the electric vehicle's state of charge to ensure users' requirements are met for upcoming trips. To better assess users' travel demand, the gravity model is employed as a precursor to response capability prediction to further enhance the validity of the prediction outcomes. Three neighborhoods in Los Angeles have been chosen for analysis: Downtown, Lincoln Heights, and Silver Lake. Predictions indicate that neglecting the response capability when electric vehicles undergo state transformation can lead to a differential response capability ranging from 2000 kWh to 4000 kWh, resulting in a loss of prediction accuracy by 20 % to 25 %.•The response capability of EV is non-zero during state transformations•Users' travel demand assessment•Seamless integration of vehicle-to-grid technology into the power grid.

    PURPOSE: The present study aims to investigate the potential of platelet distribution width as an useful parameter to assess the severity of influenza in children.

    METHODS: Baseline characteristics and laboratory results were collected and analyzed. Receiver operating characteristic (ROC) curve analysis was used to joint detection of inflammatory markers for influenza positive children, and the scatter-dot plots were used to compare the differences between severe and non-severe group.

    RESULTS: Influenza B positive children had more bronchitis and pneumonia (P
