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.
A 2000+ slide PowerPoint presentation from www.sciencepowerpoint.com becomes the roadmap for an amazing learning experience. Complete with homework package, built-in activities with directions, built-in quizzes, unit notes, follow along worksheets, answer keys, video links, review games, rubrics, and much more.
Also included are directions on how create a student version of the unit that is much like the teachers but missing the answer keys, quizzes, PowerPoint review games, hidden box challenges, owl, and surprises meant for the classroom. This is a great resource to distribute to your students and support professionals and will only take you a few minutes to create.
This is a great introductory unit that covers science topics associated with Lab Safety, Magnification, Base Units of the Metric System, Scientific Method, Inferences, and Observation Skills (See list below for more topics covered). This unit includes an interactive and engaging PowerPoint Presentation of 2000 slides with built in class notes (Red Slides), lab activities, project ideas, discussion questions, assessments (Quiz Wiz), and challenge questions with answers.
Text is in large print (32 font) and is placed at the top of each slide so it can seen and read from all angles of a classroom. A shade technique, as well as color coded text helps to increase student focus and allows teacher to control pace of the lessons. Also included is a 10 page assessment / bundled homework that chronologically follows the slideshow for nightly homework and end of the unit assessment, as well as a 9 page modified assessment. 14 pages of class notes with images are also included for students who require modifications, as well as answer keys to both of the assessments for support professionals, teachers, and home school parents. Several video links are provided and a slide within the slideshow cues teacher / parent when the videos are most relevant to play. Video shorts usually range from 2-7 minutes. One PowerPoint review game (125+ slides)is included. Answers to the PowerPoint review game are provided in PowerPoint form so students can self-assess. Lastly, several class games such as guess the hidden picture beneath the boxes, and the find the hidden owl somewhere within the slideshow are provided. Difficulty rating of 5 (Ten is most difficult)
Thank you for time and if you have any questions please feel free to contact me at www.sciencepowerpoint@gmail.com. Best wishes.

Grokking Techtalk #45: First Principles ThinkingGrokking VN
Bạn có từng nghe ai đó nói về First Principles Thinking? Nó là gì và engineers chúng ta có thể sử dụng như thế nào cho công việc của mình?
---
First Principles Thinking là một trong những phương pháp mà chúng ta có thể vận dụng để phân chia những vấn đề phức tạp thành những vấn đề nhỏ và cơ bản hơn có thể giải quyết được, cuối cùng tổng hợp lại thành một giải pháp có thể giải quyết được vấn đề phức tạp ban đầu.
Nối tiếp về chủ đề Problem Solving, trong Techtalk lần này, Grokking Vietnam cùng Gambaru sẽ mang đến cho các bạn thêm một góc nhìn về tư duy giải quyết vấn đề. Chúng ta sẽ cùng gặp gỡ anh Hùng Đoàn - exFacebook và hiện đang là Software Engineer tại Coda và cùng nhau thảo luận sâu hơn về chủ đề First Principles Thinking này nhé.
Nội dung bài talk:
* Analogy thinking
* Breaking a problem space down to its building blocks
* Techniques to arrive at first principles thinking
* Application in Programming

6/Allocating Resources to the Project
Solution
to Project Crashing HW Problem 24 with Additional Instructions
24. This problem is just like 21, just with different information. This time we are not given Normal Costs. And we are given Crash Costs per week directly, instead of needing to calculate them. In answering the question, rather than give the new total cost, we will just give the additional crashing costs. See the spreadsheet screenshot on the next page for the Activity-on-Node network for this project.
The CP is:
C-F-H (duration: 23 weeks)
The other paths are:
A-D-H (12 weeks)
B-E-H (16 weeks)
C-G-I (18 weeks)
To get to 16 weeks, both the CP and C-G-I will need to be crashed. Begin with the CP by crashing H the maximum allowed three weeks for $30. Then move to the next cheapest activity to crash, which is F. Crash it four weeks for $80. That takes care of the CP. Now work on C-G-I. Crash activity I two weeks for $60. Total Crash Costs are $30 + $80 + $60 = $170. Use this approach to do homework problem 21 “by hand”—it will work. (But it didn’t completely work here—we can do better!)
For this problem, we missed $10 in savings. How? The two paths we needed to crash have a common activity, but our method led us to crash activities that were only on one path or the other. We didn’t get any synergies. It turns out we can save another $10 overall in crashing costs if instead of doing what we did, we crash the common activity C the allowed one week even though it is more expensive (which adds $40) and reduce our crashing of F and I by one week each (which subtracts $50). So our additional costs are only $160.
How would you have ever seen that?? As you can see, it doesn’t take a very complicated project to have the danger of this happening. What’s a project manager to do? Use Solver!
(If you don’t know how to use Excel Solver and are continuing on in the MPS program, you will learn how to use it in SCM 530 this July.)
This worksheet was used with Excel Solver to find the solution. Solver was set to minimize N11 by changing cells K4, K7, K9, and K10 subject to the constraints:
· J19 = 16, where the formula in J19 is “=max(J14:J17)”
· K4 ≥ L4
· K7 ≥ L7
· K9 ≥ L9
· K10 ≥ L10
You should be able to figure out what formulas need to go into cells K4, K7, K9, K10 and N4, N7, N9, N10 and N11. The other column K values are constants (or could just be left blank).

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.
A 2000+ slide PowerPoint presentation from www.sciencepowerpoint.com becomes the roadmap for an amazing learning experience. Complete with homework package, built-in activities with directions, built-in quizzes, unit notes, follow along worksheets, answer keys, video links, review games, rubrics, and much more.
Also included are directions on how create a student version of the unit that is much like the teachers but missing the answer keys, quizzes, PowerPoint review games, hidden box challenges, owl, and surprises meant for the classroom. This is a great resource to distribute to your students and support professionals and will only take you a few minutes to create.
This is a great introductory unit that covers science topics associated with Lab Safety, Magnification, Base Units of the Metric System, Scientific Method, Inferences, and Observation Skills (See list below for more topics covered). This unit includes an interactive and engaging PowerPoint Presentation of 2000 slides with built in class notes (Red Slides), lab activities, project ideas, discussion questions, assessments (Quiz Wiz), and challenge questions with answers.
Text is in large print (32 font) and is placed at the top of each slide so it can seen and read from all angles of a classroom. A shade technique, as well as color coded text helps to increase student focus and allows teacher to control pace of the lessons. Also included is a 10 page assessment / bundled homework that chronologically follows the slideshow for nightly homework and end of the unit assessment, as well as a 9 page modified assessment. 14 pages of class notes with images are also included for students who require modifications, as well as answer keys to both of the assessments for support professionals, teachers, and home school parents. Several video links are provided and a slide within the slideshow cues teacher / parent when the videos are most relevant to play. Video shorts usually range from 2-7 minutes. One PowerPoint review game (125+ slides)is included. Answers to the PowerPoint review game are provided in PowerPoint form so students can self-assess.

6/Allocating Resources to the Project
Solution
to Project Crashing HW Problem 24 with Additional Instructions
24. This problem is just like 21, just with different information. This time we are not given Normal Costs. And we are given Crash Costs per week directly, instead of needing to calculate them. In answering the question, rather than give the new total cost, we will just give the additional crashing costs. See the spreadsheet screenshot on the next page for the Activity-on-Node network for this project.
The CP is:
C-F-H (duration: 23 weeks)
The other paths are:
A-D-H (12 weeks)
B-E-H (16 weeks)
C-G-I (18 weeks)
To get to 16 weeks, both the CP and C-G-I will need to be crashed. Begin with the CP by crashing H the maximum allowed three weeks for $30. Then move to the next cheapest activity to crash, which is F. Crash it four weeks for $80. That takes care of the CP. Now work on C-G-I. Crash activity I two weeks for $60. Total Crash Costs are $30 + $80 + $60 = $170. Use this approach to do homework problem 21 “by hand”—it will work. (But it didn’t completely work here—we can do better!)
For this problem, we missed $10 in savings. How? The two paths we needed to crash have a common activity, but our method led us to crash activities that were only on one path or the other. We didn’t get any synergies. It turns out we can save another $10 overall in crashing costs if instead of doing what we did, we crash the common activity C the allowed one week even though it is more expensive (which adds $40) and reduce our crashing of F and I by one week each (which subtracts $50). So our additional costs are only $160.
How would you have ever seen that?? As you can see, it doesn’t take a very complicated project to have the danger of this happening. What’s a project manager to do? Use Solver!
(If you don’t know how to use Excel Solver and are continuing on in the MPS program, you will learn how to use it in SCM 530 this July.)
This worksheet was used with Excel Solver to find the solution. Solver was set to minimize N11 by changing cells K4, K7, K9, and K10 subject to the constraints:
· J19 = 16, where the formula in J19 is “=max(J14:J17)”
· K4 ≥ L4
· K7 ≥ L7
· K9 ≥ L9
· K10 ≥ L10
You should be able to figure out what formulas need to go into cells K4, K7, K9, K10 and N4, N7, N9, N10 and N11. The other column K values are constants (or could just be left blank).

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
