Occupant Behavior of a Plus-Energy Building Regarding Monitoring and Standard...SimulationX
Within a monitoring study by the Federal Ministry for Environment, Nature Conservation, Building and Nuclear Safety, 35 residential buildings with future building standards are being analyzed. Two of these buildings (Plus Energy Buildings) are managed and analyzed by the Leipzig University of Applied Science. An energy-plus house produces more energy from renewable energy sources over the course of a year than it imports from external sources. Until now there have been serious differences between planning simulation and measurement. The main reason has been identified as non-matching simulation models. Complex technical building services, associated with the use of new building materials, exceed the possibility of usage for standardized programs. By using monitoring data, this paper describes the influence of tenants in low energy houses by using the Green-City library in SimulationX. The increasing influence of occupants on energy consumption will be illustrated.
Holistic District Heating Grid Design with SimulationX & Green CitySimulationX
Buildings are central elements of future smart grids. Heating and cooling demand are predictable within reason, building mass as well as heating and hot water systems provide inherent storage capacity. Additionally, the fluctuation between peak and average power of a building is much more friendly to the grid than of other network nodes like wind power or electric mobility.
A local heating grid partially supplied by renewable solar heat is currently being built in a town in Bavaria. Heat pump systems provide additional storage capacity for electric grid surplus while they serve as wind energy dump for the local utility company. Cogeneration plants and peak-power boilers provide heat and power in times of low energy coverage. The low temperature heating grid supplies decentral heat pumps, which provide required heat at a much higher temperature level to each building.
The paper describes basic modeling aspects for district heating grids with SimulationX & Green City. An interesting solar-aided grid example helps to identify benefits of a new modeling approach.
Practical Experiences with Smart-Homes Modeling and SimulationSimulationX
Within the next years, more homes will be equipped with smart metering devices, intelligent devices and home energy management systems (HEMS). The EMS are designed to adapt Demand Side Management (DSM) to households. The goals behind the DSM can vary within the household. It can target shaving the load peaks, minimize CO2 emissions, or minimize the overall energy bill via controlling the in-house energy supply resources and intelligent consuming devices. Thus, the EMS represents the dominant ‘smart home’.
Through this contribution, different practices of smart home modeling will be presented in which SimulationX has been integrated under different configurations, software and hardware integrations. The developed models represent the state-of-the art of the current, upcoming and futuristic smart homes. The incentives behind developing these models will be deliberated, along with the economic advantages in its applications within the smart grid. Moreover, the experience behind using SimulationX for evaluating such models will be presented.

SimulationX model library: Electric Energy StoragesSimulationX
Analyses of performance, temperature and lifespan for rechargeable batteries
Performance requirements for accumulators are increasing not only in the automotive industry. Also storing surplus energy from renewable sources and the motivation to increase energy efficiency in general require cutting-edge electrical storage technologies. Suitability of a battery for a certain application is often a question of its lifespan and range. The library Electrical Energy Storages is intended for the development and selection of appropriate storage configurations, for temperature analyses and predictions on battery aging – embedded in realistic load scenarios as part of system simulation. Be it static models for quick computations with minimal parameterization efforts or dynamic models for most realistic behavioral simulations: With the battery library validated through measurements, you can make realistic predictions about the performance of your system.

Abstract:
We describe a hybrid approach for access to digital objects contained within forensic disk images extracted from physical media. This approach includes the use of emulation-as-a-service (EaaS) to provide web-accessible virtual environments for materials that may not render or execute accuratelyon modern hardware and software, and the use of digital forensics software libraries to produce web-accessible file system views to support single-file access and provide visualizations of the file system.

Abstract:
This paper describes how the E-ARK project (European Archival Records and Knowledge Preservation) aims to develop an
overarching methodology for curating digital assets. This methodology must address business needs and operational issues, proposing a technical wall-to-wall reference implementation for the core OAIS flow – Ingest, Archival Storage and Access. The focal point of the paper is the Access part of the OAIS flow. The paper first lays out the access vision of the E-ARK project, and secondly describes the method employed to enable information processing and to pin-point the functional and non-functional requirements. These requirements will allow the E-ARK project to create a standardized format for the Dissemination Information Package (DIP), and to develop the access tools that will process this format. The paper then proceeds to describe the actual DIP format before detailing what the access solution will look like, which tools will be developed and, not least, why the E-ARK Access system will be used and work.

Monitoring What Matters: The Prometheus Approach to Whitebox Monitoring (Berl...Brian Brazil
Often what you monitor and get alerted on is defined by your tools, rather than what makes the most sense to you and your organisation. Alerts on metrics such as CPU usage which are noisy and rarely spot real problems, while outages go undetected. Monitoring systems can also be challenging to maintain, and overall provide a poor return on investment.
In the past few years several new monitoring systems have appeared with more powerful semantics and which are easier to run, which offer a way to vastly improve how your organisation operates Prometheus is one such system. This talk will look at the monitoring ideal and how whitebox monitoring with a time series database, multi-dimensional labels and a powerful querying/alerting language can free you from midnight pages.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.

This presentation is for us to know that how our Environment need Attention for protection of our natural resources which are depleted day by day that's why we need to take time and shift our attention to renewable energy sources instead of non-renewable sources which are better and Eco-friendly for our environment. these renewable energy sources are so helpful for our planet and for every living organism which depends on environment.
Climate Change All over the World .pptxsairaanwer024
Climate change refers to significant and lasting changes in the average weather patterns over periods ranging from decades to millions of years. It encompasses both global warming driven by human emissions of greenhouse gases and the resulting large-scale shifts in weather patterns. While climate change is a natural phenomenon, human activities, particularly since the Industrial Revolution, have accelerated its pace and intensity

"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
