You want to improve your software skills. That’s a given. You may be a mentor or a manager who needs to improve the knowledge sharing among your software developers across different projects. Code Reviews can do just that while improving code quality in your projects. Code Review not only builds developer team spirit but also offers new ways to improve a software solution. You’ll walk away from this session with in-depth understanding of Code Review to strengthen your team.
Optimum capacity allocation of distributed generation units using parallel ps...eSAT Journals
Abstract This paper proposes the application of Parallel Particle Swarm Optimization (PPSO) technique to find the optimal sizing of multiple DG(Distributed Generation) units in the radial distribution network by reduction in real power losses and enhancement in voltage profile. Message passing interface (MPI) is used for the parallelization of PSO. The initial population of PSO algorithm has been divided between the processors at run time. The proposed technique is tested on standard 123-bus test system and the obtained results show that the simulation time is significantly reduced and is concluded that parallelization helps in enhancing the performance of basic PSO. The procedure has been implemented in an environment in which OpenDSS (Open Distribution System Simulator) is driven from MATLAB. An adaptive weight particle swarm optimization algorithm has been developed in MATLAB , parallelization is achieved using MATLABMPI and the unbalanced three-phase distribution load flow (DLF) has been performed using Electric Power Research Institute’s (EPRI) open source tool OpenDSS.

Social media is 90% of your job and only 1% of theirs. Help them do more with...Antoine Ste-Marie, MBA
You are the brave and sometimes lonely person that leads social media at your institution. You are tasked with managing the main accounts and providing internal support where possible. How can you really build capacity without cloning yourself?
Once upon a time, not so long ago, my institution offered 1 monthly social media training for the internal university community. Lo and behold those attending our sessions had varied skill sets and there was an opportunity to refine the learning experience. In the past year I have revamped our approach and now feature 5 unique training sessions including easy entry points for beginners and dynamic sessions for those on the cusp of #winning.
The outcome will be creating a customized social media workout plan that will help everyone at your school get into great digital shape! This session will help you get a better variety of content, more outreach from your experts and increased collaboration.

Amazon EC2 forms the backbone compute platform for hundreds of thousands of AWS customers, but how do you go beyond starting an instance and manually configuring it? In this webinar we will take you on a journey starting with the basics of key management and security groups and ending with an explanation of Auto Scaling and how you can use it to match capacity and costs to demand using dynamic policies.
