LF Energy Webinar: Electrical Grid Modelling and Simulation Through PowSyBl -...DanBrown980551
Â
Do you want to learn how to model and simulate an electrical network from scratch in under an hour?
Then welcome to this PowSyBl workshop, hosted by Rte, the French Transmission System Operator (TSO)!
During the webinar, you will discover the PowSyBl ecosystem as well as handle and study an electrical network through an interactive Python notebook.
PowSyBl is an open source project hosted by LF Energy, which offers a comprehensive set of features for electrical grid modelling and simulation. Among other advanced features, PowSyBl provides:
- A fully editable and extendable library for grid component modelling;
- Visualization tools to display your network;
- Grid simulation tools, such as power flows, security analyses (with or without remedial actions) and sensitivity analyses;
The framework is mostly written in Java, with a Python binding so that Python developers can access PowSyBl functionalities as well.
What you will learn during the webinar:
- For beginners: discover PowSyBl's functionalities through a quick general presentation and the notebook, without needing any expert coding skills;
- For advanced developers: master the skills to efficiently apply PowSyBl functionalities to your real-world scenarios.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Â
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

PHP Frameworks: I want to break free (IPC Berlin 2024)Ralf Eggert
Â
In this presentation, we examine the challenges and limitations of relying too heavily on PHP frameworks in web development. We discuss the history of PHP and its frameworks to understand how this dependence has evolved. The focus will be on providing concrete tips and strategies to reduce reliance on these frameworks, based on real-world examples and practical considerations. The goal is to equip developers with the skills and knowledge to create more flexible and future-proof web applications. We'll explore the importance of maintaining autonomy in a rapidly changing tech landscape and how to make informed decisions in PHP development.
This talk is aimed at encouraging a more independent approach to using PHP frameworks, moving towards a more flexible and future-proof approach to PHP development.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Â
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Every episode of X has a Superman reference in it.
Who is X.
4. In the 4th box,something has been blanked.
What in the “world” is it?

under the trade names Vicodin,Vicodin
ES, Vicodin HP, Anexsia, Anolor DH5, Bancap
HC, Zydone, Dolacet, Lorcet, Lortab,
and Norco, as well as generic brands.

6. This one image is supposed to have set the
“rumor” that X is actually not straight.
Id X
7. X, a fantasy author, once wrote about Y
"I picture a fairly human figure, not a kind of fairy
rabbit as some of my British reviewers seem to
fancy…. The feet from the ankles down, covered
with brown hairy fur. Clothing: green velvet
breeches; red or yellow waistcoat; brown or green
jacket; gold (or brass) buttons; a dark green hood
and cloak.”
Id X and Y
8. After being educated at the Jesus College,
Oxford, with a highly acclaimed thesis on the
crusades, he set out on a three month long
walking tour of crusader castles in Syria. The
1,000 mile long walk and journey gave him
invaluable knowledge and experience about the
region and this helped later when he returned
later as an archeologist and soldier.
He has been immortalised in the movie X, which
comes from his name.

of Western films, especially Sergio
Leone's Spaghetti Westerns, such as Once Upon a
Time in the West, and John Sturges' film The
Magnificent Seven, itself being a remake of Seven
Samurai . The film was also influenced by the
westerns of Sam Peckinpah, such as The Wild

spawned a new genre in itself called “Curry
Westerns” an apparent similarity to the Spaghetti
Westerns of Leone.
The film?
14. One possible inspiration for this very famous work

the volcano left the sky tinted red in much of
eastern United States and most
of Europe and Asia , turned the sun green ,violet
and blue in many parts of the world and blew up
enough debris to cool the earth by 2 degrees
Celsius.
Its effect has been suggested as the cause of the
vivid backdrop in a very famous work of art.
Which work of art ?
