ResponseWethankthereviewerforhis/hercomments.
Firstandforemost,itshouldbeemphasizedthatthequantificationofanyEFMresultsisverycomplicatedandchallenging.
Thisismainlyduetotheunknowncapacitancetermdeterminedbythetipandsamplegeometryandthelong-rangenatureofelectrostaticforce.
Theprecisecalculationoftip-samplecapacitanceisonlyachievablebynumericalmethods,andseveralcalibratedparametersadhoc(seeGomilaetal.

如果我们熟悉RAKsmart商家促销活动的应该是清楚的,每个月的活动看似基本上一致。但是有一些新品或者每个月还是有一些各自的特点的。比如七月份爆款I3-2120仅30美金、V4新品上市,活动期间5折、洛杉矶+硅谷+香港+日本站群恢复销售、G口不限流量服务器比六月份折扣力度更低。RAKsmart 商家这个月依旧还是以独立服务器和站群服务器为主。当然也包括有部分的低至1.99美元的VPS主机。第一、I...
