“All-in-one” CO2 solutions for hotels
This document discusses integrated CO2 solutions for hotels. It notes that hotels have significant energy consumption for heating, hot water, and cooling. An "all-in-one" CO2 heat pump provides space heating, hot water, and AC cooling using CO2 as the refrigerant. This is a more economical retrofit solution for hotels compared to district heating. Success requires customized systems that consider the specific hotel's demands and flexibility in secondary system design and heat distribution. If implemented in 10% of European hotels, CO2 systems could save over 3.6 TWh of energy and 1.1 million tons of CO2 emissions annually.

Many brokers influence employers' decisions to adopt exchanges and offer more options to employees. The survey also indicated that employers who have used exchanges believe the experience has been positive for employees.
Benefitsselling2016
Here are a few key plot points from the article:
- A survey found that private exchange use continues to be minimal among employers of all sizes, though use increases with employer size.
- Brokers often influence employers to adopt the exchange model to offer more options to employees or move to a defined contribution approach.
- Since brokers frequently suggest exchanges, it makes sense that most employers (74%) continue using a broker for benefits after implementing a private exchange. Only 19% no longer use broker services.
- Employers that have implemented an exchange believe their employees have had a positive experience with choice and convenience. They also report reduced costs and administration complexity.
- While adoption has been slow, exchanges may continue growing as

RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HEALTH AND PRODUCTIVITY
The U.S. economy makes investment in productivity-related health a critical and economically essential initiative. Without effective population health management programs, the profitability and viability of American businesses will be further eroded. According to PricewaterhouseCoopers, healthcare costs are projected to increase 10% for employers and even more for employees by the end of 2010.Within just a few short years, such increases will be unsustainable for even the most financially sound employers.

DEEP LEARNING FOR SMART GRID INTRUSION DETECTION: A HYBRID CNN-LSTM-BASED MODEL
As digital technology becomes more deeply embedded in power systems, protecting the communication
networks of Smart Grids (SG) has emerged as a critical concern. Distributed Network Protocol 3 (DNP3)
represents a multi-tiered application layer protocol extensively utilized in Supervisory Control and Data
Acquisition (SCADA)-based smart grids to facilitate real-time data gathering and control functionalities.
Robust Intrusion Detection Systems (IDS) are necessary for early threat detection and mitigation because
of the interconnection of these networks, which makes them vulnerable to a variety of cyberattacks. To
solve this issue, this paper develops a hybrid Deep Learning (DL) model specifically designed for intrusion
detection in smart grids. The proposed approach is a combination of the Convolutional Neural Network
(CNN) and the Long-Short-Term Memory algorithms (LSTM). We employed a recent intrusion detection
dataset (DNP3), which focuses on unauthorized commands and Denial of Service (DoS) cyberattacks, to
train and test our model. The results of our experiments show that our CNN-LSTM method is much better
at finding smart grid intrusions than other deep learning algorithms used for classification. In addition,
our proposed approach improves accuracy, precision, recall, and F1 score, achieving a high detection
accuracy rate of 99.50%.

Embedded machine learning-based road conditions and driving behavior monitoring
Car accident rates have increased in recent years, resulting in losses in human lives, properties, and other financial costs. An embedded machine learning-based system is developed to address this critical issue. The system can monitor road conditions, detect driving patterns, and identify aggressive driving behaviors. The system is based on neural networks trained on a comprehensive dataset of driving events, driving styles, and road conditions. The system effectively detects potential risks and helps mitigate the frequency and impact of accidents. The primary goal is to ensure the safety of drivers and vehicles. Collecting data involved gathering information on three key road events: normal street and normal drive, speed bumps, circular yellow speed bumps, and three aggressive driving actions: sudden start, sudden stop, and sudden entry. The gathered data is processed and analyzed using a machine learning system designed for limited power and memory devices. The developed system resulted in 91.9% accuracy, 93.6% precision, and 92% recall. The achieved inference time on an Arduino Nano 33 BLE Sense with a 32-bit CPU running at 64 MHz is 34 ms and requires 2.6 kB peak RAM and 139.9 kB program flash memory, making it suitable for resource-constrained embedded systems.
