Integration of Renewable Energy Distributed Generation and Battery Energy Storage in Radial Power Distribution System

In the modern world power system generation, transmission, distribution and its efficient usage defines the development of the country. In distribution system of an electrical network due to the influence of increased load demand, fluctuation of voltage profile and high power losses are to be focused indeed. To avoid these technical problems in power distribution network, renewable energy distributed generation (REDG) plays a vital role in the radial distribution system. However,hybrid optimization technique which combines artificial bee colony (ABC) and Cuckoo Search (ABC/CS) algorithm are recently techniques employed to solve multi-objective problems by considering both voltage magnitude and power factor constraints. The location found by voltage stability index (VSI) which validated by ABC and sizing of REDGs found by ABC/CSA. The analysis of the present research paper guide to installation of REDGs which lead to simultaneously reduction of both active and reactive power as multi-objective functions. Simulated results such as power losses of the system and cost of REDG, cost of energy losses validated in IEEE 33-nodes and 69-nodes systems and compared with other optimization techniques reviewed in the literature.
Green & Smart Bin with Compactor and Waste Management: A Review

— Paper and plastics are the major source of waste in commercial areas or inside industries. Because of low weight and large volume, it inhabits a large space of waste bin which is a reason to fill the bin earlier than it should be. It causes money and time wastage as well as pollution. It impacts the healthy environment of cities in the form of air pollution due to the large movement of the garbage collecting vehicles. In this paper, we proposed a plan to solve this problem by creating a smart bin by following the green technology (Solar power source). With the help of different sensors (ex. Level sensor, fire sensor, touch sensor, etc.), compactor and Infrared (IR) wireless connectivity with the control room. We will create a chain system of waste transportation. In the whole process, we will ensure the participation of citizens. The level sensor will detect the level of waste inside the bin. When a certain level of bin achieved then the compactor will activate and compress it to the possible depth. By this process, it increases the space (up to 70 percent) inside the bin so transportation activity decreases in the area which causes to decreases the pollution level. As India is ready to welcome the modern smart cities so it will play a vital role in solid waste management.

: Exploring the Environmental Consciousness and Christian Environmentalism of Youth Ministers in Mabalacat City in Light of Laudato Si' for Post-COVID-19 Environmental Stewardship

This research investigates the influence of Pope Francis' encyclical Laudato Si on the attitudes and behaviors of Catholics regarding environmental stewardship in a post-COVID-19 context. The study employs a combination of quantitative and qualitative methods to comprehensively understand the impact of the encyclical and identify potential areas for future action and research in this critical field. The primary data collection involved a survey administered to 144 Catholic Youth Ministers in Mabalacat City, Pampanga. The survey included the Environmental Consciousness Scale and Christian Environmental Scale. Preliminary results indicate that Laudato Si has had a significant impact on Catholic perspectives and behaviors related to climate change and sustainability. The analysis of open-ended responses in the study provided valuable insights into the concerns and aspirations of the youth ministers.
ANNOTATING UNSTRUCTURED TEXTS FOR ENHANCING SEMANTIC ANALYSIS PROCESSES

Annotation is a powerful instrument for enhancing knowledge containing in texts. When developing a text analysis process, we often make notes for identifying and characterizing concepts and relationships, or highlighting aspects in the text that could go unnoticed by some of its readers. In addition, text annotation can enrich the semantics of texts, giving them more value through the introduction of comments, explanations, references, among many other things. Today, most text annotation processes are carried out helped by computational tools, whose functionalities make it possible to simplify the most elementary annotation tasks and substantially reduce the annotation time. The annotation of old, unstructured texts is very relevant for all those who want to study and acquire knowledge about their contents. Annotating these texts makes them more accessible to people who are not experts in the domain or in the era in which they were produced. In this work we develop a specific annotation system, supported by natural language processing and machine learning tools, to reveal the knowledge contained in the Book of Properties – “Tombo da Mitra” –, a codex containing the inventory of the Archbishop's Table of Braga’s properties (Portugal) in the 17th century. This codex contains a huge amount and a wide variety of elements, containing names, nicknames, settlements, professions, types of land and buildings, among many others. All these elements are very important for studying and learning of geography, culture, economy, architecture, religion and Portuguese language until the 17th century. Annotating the Book of Properties makes possible to maintain a tag database for indexing the most relevant information contained in the book and make its knowledge accessible to a wider range of people.
Camas Calientes: Housing Adjustments and Barriers to Social and Economic Adaptation Among Georgia's Rural Latinos*

We examined conditions among Latinos in rural Georgia, using Morris and Winter's (1978) model for housing ad- justment and adaptation, in order to develop a framework for ex- tending the segmented assimilation model into the literature on residential assimilation. Morris and Winter's model is predicated on the notion that persons who suffer from multiple normative deficits will deviate from housing norms. We argue that signifi- cant deviations from housing norm's may lead to delayed incorpo- ration or, at worst, downward assimilation. Using unstructured interviews with key informants and focus groups with Latino resi- dents in four rural counties, we find that Latino immigrants in ru- ral Georgia aspire to live in housing conditions typically identified with American housing norms; however, due to lack of income, legal status, and other deficits, they cannot. In short, the results of our study offer support for Morris and Winter's theory and sug- gest that the housing stock available to Latino migrants in rural Georgia may impede incorporation to other areas of American life.
Thermal Imaging Efficacy in Predicting Trim Loss from Cull Sow Carcasses

: Abattoir-level digital image measurement and assessments recorded during the harvest process could contribute to better estimates of the economic value of each animal and could be used as animal health and well-being assessment tools to provide information/feedback for commercial pork producers. This study evaluated the association between live animal infrared images and nonedible trim loss from cull sows. Eighty sow carcasses selected from cull sows normally presented at a Midwest cull sow abattoir were evaluated. A thermal image and corresponding trim losses were collected from each sow. Regions of interest, referred to as hotspots, were isolated from the thermal images of individual sows. The relationships between the thermal hotspots, trim loss weight, and trim loss percentage from each carcass were evaluated using Pearson correlation coefficients, stepwise regression, and prediction equations. The most predictive model included covariates for the number of hotspots, live identification category, hotspot location, and explanatory continuous covariates for pixels with elevated temperature. Live animal defect classification and hotspot location categories significantly contributed to variation in percent trim. This suggests that visually identifying defects like abscesses, poor condition, mammary infection, or a combination on live cull sows is associated with trim losses from their carcass.
UvA-DARE ( Digital Academic Repository ) " If you ' d wiggled A , the B would ' ve changed " Causality and counterfactual

This paper deals with the truth conditions of conditional sentences. It focuses on a particular class of problematic examples for semantic theories for these sentences. I will argue that the examples show the need to refer to dynamic, in particular causal laws in an approach to their truth conditions. More particularly, I will claim that we need a causal notion of consequence. The proposal subsequently made uses a representation of causal dependencies as proposed in Pearl (2000) to formalize a causal notion of consequence. This notion inserted in premise semantics for counterfactuals in the style of Veltman (1976) and Kratzer (1979) will provide a new interpretation rule for conditionals. I will illustrate how this approach overcomes problems of previous proposals and end with some remarks on remaining questions.
M Science Communication practices and Trust in information sources amongst Nigerian scientists and journalists

Relatively few studies have explored the communication practices of researchers and journalists working in African contexts. We set out to explore the communication activities undertaken by Nigerian health researchers and journalists, their motivations and the barriers they face in communicating about health topics with lay audiences, as well as their trust in a range of sources of scientific information. The study adopted a survey methodology, recruiting 69 participants at a communications training workshop for both health researchers and journalists. We found high levels of participation in research communication amongst health researchers compared with previous work. While many barriers are similar to those faced by researchers in other contexts, our respondents highlighted that lack of support from managers is a significant hurdle, which has not been highlighted in other studies. Both journalists and researchers primarily communicate science with the aim of educating, informing, entertaining or inspiring their audiences. Regarding trust, both researchers and journalists broadly trust sources linked to science, such as academic journals. However, trust in industry, NGOs and other media was higher amongst journalists than health researchers. Least trust was invested in social media sources, with the exception of material posted on accounts linked to universities. Abstract
Continuous 1.3-Million-Year Record of East African Hydroclimate, Continuous 1.3-Million-Year Record of East African Hydroclimate, and Implications for Patterns of Evolution and Biodiversity and Implications for Patterns of Evolution and Biodiversity

The transport of moisture in the tropics is a critical process for the global energy budget and on geologic timescales, has markedly influenced continental landscapes, migratory pathways, and biological evolution. Here we present a continuous, first-of-its-kind 1.3-My record of continental hydroclimate and lake-level variability derived from drill core data from Lake Malawi, East Africa (9 – 15° S). Over the Quaternary, we observe dramatic shifts in effective moisture, resulting in large-scale changes in one of the world ’ s largest lakes and most diverse freshwater ecosystems. Results show evidence for 24 lake level drops of more than 200 m during the Late Quaternary, including 15 lowstands when water levels were more than 400 m lower than modern. A dramatic shift is observed at the Mid-Pleistocene Transition (MPT), consistent with far-field climate forcing, which separates vastly different hydroclimate regimes before and after ∼ 800,000 years ago. Before 800 ka, lake levels were lower, indicating a climate drier than today, and water levels changed frequently. Following the MPT high-amplitude lake level variations dominate the record. From 800 to 100 ka, a deep, often overfilled lake occupied the basin, indicating a wetter climate, but these highstands were interrupted by prolonged intervals of extreme drought. Periods of high lake level are observed during times of high eccentricity. The extreme hydroclimate variability exerted a profound influence on the Lake Malawi endemic cichlid fish species flock; the geographically extensive habitat reconfiguration provided novel ecological opportunities, enabling new populations to differentiate rapidly to distinct species.
MEYER SETS, PISOT NUMBERS, AND SELF-SIMILARITY IN SYMBOLIC DYNAMICAL SYSTEMS

Aperiodic order refers to the mathematical formalisation of quasicrystals. Sub-stitutions and cut and project sets are among their main actors; they also play a key role in the study of dynamical systems, whether they are symbolic, generated by tilings, or point sets. We focus here on the relations between quasicrystals and self-similarity from an arith-metical and dynamical viewpoint, illustrating how efficiently aperiodic order irrigates various domains of mathematics and theoretical computer science, on a journey from Diophantine approximation to computability theory. In particular, we see how Pisot numbers allow the definition of simple model sets, and how they also intervene for scaling factors for invariance by multiplication of Meyer sets. We focus in particular on the characterisation due to Yves Meyer of Pisot and Salem numbers as the parameters of the dilations preserving some Meyer set.
Tissue-speciﬁc regulation of translational readthrough tunes functions of the trafﬁc jam transcription factor

Translational readthrough (TR) occurs when the ribosome decodes a stop codon as a sense codon, resulting in two protein isoforms synthesized from the same mRNA. TR has been identiﬁed in several eukaryotic organisms; however, its biological sig-niﬁcance and mechanism remain unclear. Here, we quantify TR of several candidate genes in Drosophila melanogaster and characterize the regulation of TR in the large Maf transcription factor Trafﬁc jam (Tj). Using CRISPR / Cas9-generated mutant ﬂies, we show that the TR-generated Tj isoform is expressed in a subset of neural cells of the central nervous system and is excluded from the somatic cells of gonads. Control of TR in Tj is critical for preservation of neuronal integrity and maintenance of reproductive health. The tissue-speciﬁc distribution of a release factor splice variant, eRF1H, plays a critical role in modulating differential TR of leaky stop codon contexts. Fine-tuning of gene regulatory functions of transcription factors by TR provides a potential mechanism for cell-speciﬁc regulation of gene expression. GRAPHICAL ABSTRACT
Investigating stratospheric ozone change and associated impacts on circulation and climate

With stratospheric ozone on the path to recovery, understanding its future role in modulating Southern Hemisphere circulation and climate is essential. This work contributes to answering this question through both observational and modelling studies. First, a new Dobson Umkehr retrieval technique optimised for resolution was developed, with the retrievals contributing in the evaluation of the Australian Community Climate and Earth-System Simulator-Chemistry Climate Model (ACCESSCCM). This model was used to investigate future Southern Hemisphere stratospheric ozone changes and associated dynamical and climate responses, particularly in the Southern Annular Mode (SAM), the tropopause height and quasi-stationary waves. For this purpose, four simulations were completed comprising of historical, future projection and sensitivity simulations with fixed ozone depleting substances and greenhouse gases (GHGs) at 1960 levels. These simulations also act as Australia’s contribution to the international Chemistry Climate Model Initiative. The Dobson Umkehr retrieval technique developed here uses all available data, unlike other algorithms, which use designated solar zenith angles (SZAs) from a single wavelength pair (C), out of three (A, C and D). Investigating a test case from Melbourne, the degrees of freedom for signal increased from 3.1 to 3.4 when using all C-pair SZAs, and up to 6.5 when using all available SZAs and wavelength pairs; a significant improvement over current operational methods. ACCESS-CCM evaluation shows excessive ozone but an accurate distribution, and a temporally persistent ozone hole. Comparison with the Dobson Umkehr retrievals, total column ozone observations, ERA-Interim reanalysis and past modelling studies shows ACCESS-CCM produces excess ozone at altitudes above 25 km for Melbourne, but with substantial improvements in Antarctic total column ozone over it’s precursors (CCMVal-2 UMUKCA models). Comparisons with Davis and South Pole ozonesondes display a large disparity in the vertical location of perturbed ozone. Maximum depletion is seen between 100–50 hPa in ozonesondes, compared to above 50 hPa in ACCESS-CCM. This difference is likely caused by cold model biases enhancing polar stratospheric cloud formation and subsequent chlorine release at high altitudes. The lack of supercooled ternary solution may be a cause of less depletion
Pervasive and Mobile Computing

Many Internet of Things (IoT) devices are capable of sensing their environment, communicating with other devices, and actuating on their environment. Some of these IoT devices, herein known as ‘‘smartThings’’, collect meaningful information from raw data when they are in use and in physical contact with their user (e.g., a blood-glucose monitor); the smartThing’s wireless connectivity allows it to transfer that data to its user’s trusted device, such as a smartphone. However, an adversary could impersonate the user and bootstrap a communication channel with the smartThing while the smartThing is being used by an oblivious legitimate user. To address this problem, in this paper, we investigate the use of vibration , generated by a smartRing, as an out-of-band communication channel to unobtrusively share a secret with a smartThing. This exchanged secret can be used to bootstrap a secure wireless channel over which the smartphone (or another trusted device) and the smartThing can communicate. We present the design, implementation, and evaluation of this system, which we call VibeRing . We describe the hardware and software details of the smartThing and smartRing. Through a user study we demonstrate that it is possible to share a secret with various objects quickly, accurately and securely as compared to several existing techniques. Overall, we successfully exchange a secret between a smartRing and various smartThings, at least 85.9% of the time. We show that VibeRing can perform this exchange at 12.5 bits/second at a bit error rate of less than 2.5%. We also show that VibeRing is robust to the smartThing’s constituent material as well as the holding style. Finally, we demonstrate that a nearby adversary cannot decode or modify the message exchanged between the trusted devices.
A protocol for systematic review and meta-analysis

Background : Post-stroke insomnia (PSI) is a serious problemwhich has significant adverse effects on the subsequent recovery of patients and the quality of their daily life. Massage is effective in improving the quality of sleep for stroke patients displaying no significant adverse reactions. Up to now, however, there are still no systematic studies conducted to provide compelling evidence for its effectiveness in treating PSI. Allowing for this, this project is purposed to make a thorough summary of the efficacy of massage therapy in treating PSI and the safety of this practice. Methods : Without considering the status of publication and language, a meticulous search will be conducted, covering theWeb of Science, the Cochrane Library search, PubMed, EMBASE, Chinese biomedical literature database, Chongqing VIP Database for Chinese Technical Periodicals, China National Knowledge Infrastructure, and Wanfang. All randomized controlled trials of PSI will be retrieved. The deadline is set as October 23, 2020. The team will be comprised of 2 experienced researchers who will apply RevMan V.5. 3 software to conduct literature selection, data collection, data analysis, and data synthesis, respectively. In addition, the Cochrane risk Assessment tool will be taken as the top choice to evaluate the quality of the trials involved in this study. Results : The effectiveness and safety of massage therapy intended for PSI will be subject to a systematic evaluation under this program. Conclusion : It will be substantiated in this review whether massage therapy is a reliable intervention for PSI by examining the evidence collected. Abbreviations: PSI = post-stroke insomnia, RCTs = randomized controlled trials.
Cost-Effective E�cient Materials for Dye Degradation using Green and Facile Chemistry Routes

In the present studies, the synthesis of Mg and S-doped ZnO nanoparticles was carried out using a non-aqueous sol-gel method. X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques were used to examine the crystallisation of ZnO, Mg-ZnO, and S-ZnO samples. The Mg-ZnO and S-ZnO samples exhibit signi�cant c-axis compression and smaller crystallite sizes as compared to undoped ZnO. To investigate the electronic, optical, and functional group characteristics of the nanoparticles, various spectroscopic techniques such as FTIR, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), UV/vis spectroscopy, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were employed. The optical band gap of Mg-ZnO and S-ZnO NPs were found to be 2.93 eV and 2.32 eV, respectively, which are lower than that of ZnO NPs (3.05 eV). The S-doped ZnO resulted in the homogenous distribution of sulfur ions in the ZnO lattice crystal. XPS analysis revealed that the doped S element was mostly S 4+ and S 6+ . Furthermore, we investigated the photocatalytic activity of ZnO, Mg-ZnO, and S-ZnO samples with and without PVP mixed with 5 ppm Rhodamine 6G dye at room temperature. Results indicated that pure ZnO nanoparticles have the highest photocatalytic degradation rate with Rh 6G in both situations. The enhanced visible white light photocatalytic activities of pure ZnO NPs were attributed to their superior surface properties (18.30 m 2 /g) and effective electron-hole separation.
