Smart homes: potentials and challenges

Decentralized distributed clean-energy sources have become an essential need for smart grids to reduce the harmful effects of conventional power plants. Smart homes with a suitable sizing process and proper energy-management schemes can share in reducing the whole grid demand and even sell clean energy to the utility. Smart homes have been introduced recently as an alternative solution to classical power-system problems, such as the emissions of thermal plants and blackout hazards due to bulk plants/transmission outages. The appliances, sources and energy storage of smart homes should be coordinated with the requirements of homeowners via a suitable energy-management scheme. Energy-management systems are the main key to optimizing both home sources and the operation of loads to maximize home-economic benefits while keeping a comfortable lifestyle. The intermittent uncertain nature of smart homes may badly affect the whole grid performance. The prospective high penetration of smart homes on a smart power grid will introduce new, unusual scenarios in both generation and loading. In this paper, the main features and requirements of smart homes are defined. This review aims also to address recent proposed smart-home energy-management schemes. Moreover, smart-grid challenges with a high penetration of smart-home power are discussed.

ANALISIS FINANSIAL DIVERSIFIKASI PRODUK KELAPA MENJADI VCO (Virgin Coconut Oil) DENGAN METODE EMULSI

Coconut plant is a plant that grows in a tropical area. It dominates growing in the coastal area. Ende Regency is a part of the district, located in East Nusa Tenggara Provence particularly in Flores island. The plan is one of the commodities in Ende that support it increase the income of the people generally. However, coconut is relatively low. For instance, one fruit is five hundred or a thousand rupiah. In reality, each plant of coconut can produce 25-30 fruits every month (APCC, 2004). Most of the coconut plants in Ende is a kind of local coconut which is known "Kelapa Dalam Lokal". This kind of commodity contains high oil quality which may be treated to produce more oil. Traditionally, farmers usually produce coconut oil which can improve their home income. This oil production is well known in Ende regency as "klentik oil or tandusan oil". Most people and farmers say that oil production can not give enough benefits or profits for supporting their home economic. For this reason, it is very important to change the way of how to treat coconut fruits in order to give more quality of the coconut oil. This new way is recognized as the emulsion method. Its actually is a new technology to process the coconut fruit to become virgin coconut oil (VCO). This analysis is conducted to find out the validity of the production and to know the profits of the production in regards to improving the income of the farmer. Financial analysis includes the analysis of validity in interpreneuring (R/C ratio), the impact price, and impact focus of production. Producing the virgin coconut oil has run at Faculty of Agriculture, Flores University on semester IV, period 2007- 2008. The validity analysis indicates that the R/C ratio peaks 2,69. It shows that this product is suitable to be carried on. The treatment of coconut oil and klentik oil. The price of 80 coconut fruits can produce 7.500 ml VCO and 1.500 ml klentik oil. The price of the VCO is Rp. 46,93,- per ml while production impact is 1.700 ml. In contrast to the price of kentik oil is Rp. 174,67,- per ml while its production impact is 2.620 ml. Thus, from the financial aspect, diversification of coconut to become virgin coconut oil and klentik oil simultaneously with emulsion method is appropriate to be conducted by farmers of coconut in order to improve their production the future time.

Analysis of the relevance of basic electricity to Home Economics Students in Technical Colleges in Edo State, Nigeria

The study was designed to determine the relevance of basic electricity to home economics students in technical colleges in Edo state, Nigeria. In order to achieve the purpose of this study, three research questions were raised while one hypothesis was formulated. The study adopted the descriptive survey research design. The population and sample of the study consists of one hundred and forty (140) NTC II and III Home Economics students in four technical colleges in Edo State. A four point rating scale questionnaire titled Relevance of Basic Electricity to Home Economics Students Questionnaire (RBEHSQ)was the instrument used to collect data from the respondents. The face and content validity of the instrument was ascertained by two lecturers in department of vocational and technical education, and one Lecturer in department of measurement and evaluation, faculty of education, University of Benin, Benin city, Nigeria. The split half technique was used to determine the reliability of the instrument. The two sets of scores obtained were correlated using Pearson Product Moment Corrolation Coefficient (PPMCC) and the process yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.71 which means that the instrument was reliable. Mean ( ) and standard deviation (SD) were used to answer research questions 2 and 3 while research question 1 was answered with simple percentage. The hypothesis was tested at 0.05 level of significance with chi-square. Findings revealed that Home economics students are much aware of the relevance of basic electricity to home economics, students are moderately familiar with the basic electricity aspect of home economics programme and that the extent to which students are acquainted with basic electricity skills relevant to home economics is low. Tested hypothesis revealed that there is no significant difference between the perception of male and female students of the relevance of basic electricity to home economics. Based on the findings, it was recommended that efforts should be made by home economic lecturers to relate basic electricity to home economics so as to enable students become aware of the relationship between subjects, educational planners and school management should make adequate provision for necessary facilities for the teaching of basic electricity. School management should also ensure that only qualified lecturers are employed to teach home economics and that lecturers on their part should handle the basic electricity with all seriousness in such a way that would increase students’ interest and acquire skills in basic electricity.

Ethno Cultural Concept of Family Life in Malaysian Literature in English

A family involves two or more persons who live in the same household and are related through blood, marriage, or adoption . Family is “a social group branded by a common home, economic collaboration, and reproduction. It includes grown-ups of both genders, at least two of whom sustain a socially approved sexual relationship, and one or more children, own or adopted, of the adults living together(Alakavuklar, 2009).The study is going to examine the concept of family in term of father/mother, father /children, mother/children binary opposition between three main ethnic groups in Malaysia (Malay ,Chinese ,Indian ) through Malaysian novels in English: ‘The Rice Mother', ‘Evening Is the Whole Day’, ‘Green Is the Color’, and ‘The Garden of Evening Mist’.

Population-scale testing can suppress the spread of COVID-19

We propose an additional intervention that would contribute to the control of the COVID-19 pandemic, offer more protection for people working in essential jobs, and help guide an eventual reopening of society. The intervention is based on: (1) testing every individual (2) repeatedly, and (3) self-quarantine of infected individuals. Using a standard epidemiological model (SIR), we show here that by identification and isolation of the majority of infectious individuals, including those who may be asymptomatic, the reproduction number R0 of SARS-CoV-2 would be reduced well below 1.0, and the epidemic would collapse. We replicate these observations in a more complex stochastic dynamic model on a social network graph. We also find that the testing regime would be additive to other interventions, and be effective at any level of prevalence. If adopted as a policy, any industrial society could sustain the regime for as long as it takes to find a safe and effective cure or vaccine. Our model also indicates that unlike sampling-based tests, population-scale testing does not need to be very accurate: false negative rates up to 15% could be tolerated if 80% comply with testing every ten days, and false positives can be almost arbitrarily high when a high fraction of the population is already effectively quarantined. Testing at the required scale would be feasible if existing qPCR-based methods are scaled up and multiplexed. A mass produced, low throughput field test kit could also be carried out at home. Economic analysis also supports the feasibility of the approach: current reagent costs for tests are in the range of a dollar or less, and the estimated benefits for population-scale testing are so large that the policy would be cost-effective even if the costs were larger by more than two orders of magnitude. To identify both active and previous infections, both viral RNA and antibodies could be tested. All technologies to build such test kits, and to produce them in the scale required to test the entire worlds’ population exist already. Integrating them, scaling up production, and implementing the testing regime will require resources and planning, but at a scale that is very small compared to the effort that every nation would devote to defending itself against a more traditional foe.
