Lost at sea? Charting wave energy’s difficult innovation journey towards comm...Matthew Hannon
The UK has a rich history of wave energy technology innovation stretching back to 1976 when it launched its first wave energy programme. Whilst funding was discontinued in the 1980s a new programme was established in the 2000s as wave energy was considered a critical solution to meeting the government’s climate change, energy and economic objectives. Despite committing approximately $150m to wave energy development over the past 15 years the UK has still failed to deliver a commercially viable wave energy device. This raises questions about the effectiveness of government policy designed to support wave energy innovation. Drawing upon 32 expert interviews, investment data and extensive documentary evidence the research examines how the level and type of innovation support from UK government has contributed to this slow progress and how these weaknesses could be addressed to help accelerate wave energy innovation in the future.
The research finds that government policy was indeed partly to blame for this slow progress including poor coordination of policy support, duplication of investment, stop-start R&D programmes that fostered knowledge depreciation and schemes that encouraged developers to go ‘too big too soon’. Despite these failures significant ‘policy learning’ has taken place, triggering a major reconfiguration of UK wave energy innovation support such as a refocusing on component versus device development, treating wave and tidal energy innovation separately and greater coordination of innovation programmes. Even so outstanding policy recommendations include strengthening coordination between UK and Scottish governments and collaboration between universities and device developers. Finally, the research finds that government policy wasn’t the only factor that contributed to this slow progress such as developers overpromising and under-delivering, as well as the high capital cost and practical difficulties associated with device testing at sea.

The Distribution of Domestic Energy-Tech in Great Britain: 2008 – 2011Ben Anderson
This document summarizes research on the distribution of domestic energy technologies in Great Britain from 2008 to 2011. It finds that adopters of these technologies tend to be home-owning residents of detached, rural homes who report environmentally friendly views and actions. Those seriously considering adoption also tend to have higher energy spending. Rejecters of these technologies are more often urban renters living in non-detached housing who report less environmentally friendly attitudes. The research finds some differences between adopters of solar PV and solar thermal technologies and highlights equity issues in the uneven distribution of benefits from these technologies.
Climate change preparedness plans are needed to adapt to a warming world with more severe weather. NRENs and higher education institutions should develop such plans aligned with national initiatives. Distance education is important for continuity during disasters. Preparedness plans involve risk analysis to identify vulnerable infrastructure and mitigation strategies. Reliability of the electrical grid is a major threat. Lessons from extreme weather show how distance education and robust networks are critical during disasters. Microgrids and renewable energy can increase reliability and lower costs and emissions.

The UK has a rich history of wave energy technology innovation stretching back to 1976 when it launched its first wave energy programme. Whilst funding was discontinued in the 1980s a new programme was established in the 2000s as wave energy was considered critical to meeting the government’s climate change, energy and economic objectives. Evens so the past 15 years have failed to deliver a commercially viable wave energy device. Consequently, this research examines whether the level and type of innovation support in the UK has contributed to this slow progress and whether these weaknesses could be addressed to help accelerate innovation in the future.
Drawing upon 32 interviews, alongside investment, publication and patent data analysis, this research examines:
1. how much investment has been committed to wave energy RD&D;
2. the mechanisms used to deliver this support;
3. the effectiveness of this support in fostering innovation and;
4. how this support could be re-configured to accelerate innovation.
The research finds that the UK has historically committed an above average level of ocean energy support versus other countries, seeing the UK lead in terms of patents, publications and deployment. However, the level of ocean energy funding still lags behind more mature renewable energy technologies (e.g. wind, solar PV) and its support has suffered from a number of weaknesses including a pressure to go ‘too big too soon’, little requirement for collaboration, intermittent support and a poorly coordinated and complex funding landscape.
Despite these failures significant ‘policy learning’ has taken place, triggering a major reconfiguration of UK wave energy innovation support such as a refocusing on component versus device development, treating wave and tidal energy innovation separately and greater coordination of innovation programmes. Outstanding policy recommendations include strengthening coordination between UK and Scottish governments and collaboration between universities and device developers.
IT has both direct and indirect impacts on sustainability. While IT contributes to carbon emissions and e-waste, it can also help reduce environmental impacts through initiatives like teleconferencing, online forms, and encouraging sustainable practices from suppliers. At UNSW, IT accounts for a significant portion of electricity usage and e-waste is a problem, but recycling programs have helped address these issues and more opportunities exist to promote sustainability through IT.

Dive into the realm of operating systems (OS) with Pravash Chandra Das, a seasoned Digital Forensic Analyst, as your guide. 🚀 This comprehensive presentation illuminates the core concepts, types, and evolution of OS, essential for understanding modern computing landscapes.
Beginning with the foundational definition, Das clarifies the pivotal role of OS as system software orchestrating hardware resources, software applications, and user interactions. Through succinct descriptions, he delineates the diverse types of OS, from single-user, single-task environments like early MS-DOS iterations, to multi-user, multi-tasking systems exemplified by modern Linux distributions.
Crucial components like the kernel and shell are dissected, highlighting their indispensable functions in resource management and user interface interaction. Das elucidates how the kernel acts as the central nervous system, orchestrating process scheduling, memory allocation, and device management. Meanwhile, the shell serves as the gateway for user commands, bridging the gap between human input and machine execution. 💻
The narrative then shifts to a captivating exploration of prominent desktop OSs, Windows, macOS, and Linux. Windows, with its globally ubiquitous presence and user-friendly interface, emerges as a cornerstone in personal computing history. macOS, lauded for its sleek design and seamless integration with Apple's ecosystem, stands as a beacon of stability and creativity. Linux, an open-source marvel, offers unparalleled flexibility and security, revolutionizing the computing landscape. 🖥️
Moving to the realm of mobile devices, Das unravels the dominance of Android and iOS. Android's open-source ethos fosters a vibrant ecosystem of customization and innovation, while iOS boasts a seamless user experience and robust security infrastructure. Meanwhile, discontinued platforms like Symbian and Palm OS evoke nostalgia for their pioneering roles in the smartphone revolution.
The journey concludes with a reflection on the ever-evolving landscape of OS, underscored by the emergence of real-time operating systems (RTOS) and the persistent quest for innovation and efficiency. As technology continues to shape our world, understanding the foundations and evolution of operating systems remains paramount. Join Pravash Chandra Das on this illuminating journey through the heart of computing. 🌟
Nunit vs XUnit vs MSTest Differences Between These Unit Testing Frameworks.pdfflufftailshop
When it comes to unit testing in the .NET ecosystem, developers have a wide range of options available. Among the most popular choices are NUnit, XUnit, and MSTest. These unit testing frameworks provide essential tools and features to help ensure the quality and reliability of code. However, understanding the differences between these frameworks is crucial for selecting the most suitable one for your projects.

Introduction of Cybersecurity with OSS at Code Europe 2024Hiroshi SHIBATA
I develop the Ruby programming language, RubyGems, and Bundler, which are package managers for Ruby. Today, I will introduce how to enhance the security of your application using open-source software (OSS) examples from Ruby and RubyGems.
The first topic is CVE (Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures). I have published CVEs many times. But what exactly is a CVE? I'll provide a basic understanding of CVEs and explain how to detect and handle vulnerabilities in OSS.
Next, let's discuss package managers. Package managers play a critical role in the OSS ecosystem. I'll explain how to manage library dependencies in your application.
I'll share insights into how the Ruby and RubyGems core team works to keep our ecosystem safe. By the end of this talk, you'll have a better understanding of how to safeguard your code.

Abstract
• Traveling and working outside the US provides incredible
opportunities to observe how other countries and
cultures achieve reliability. Because reliability requires both
people and objects to function well for a certain time
under specific conditions, it means quite different things in
different places! Politics, geography, culture, climate, and
society norms all influence how reliability is defined,
perceived and achieved.
• In a presentation that is equal parts travelogue and
technology review, learn more about the fascinating ways
reliability is achieved around the world and how you can
apply some of these lessons in your own organization.
Case studies include examples of reliability management in
the US, Ethiopia, South Africa and New Zealand with
technologies ranging from automobiles to tracking devices.
See clever, cost-effective solutions and cross-cultural
approaches that you might not have considered because
of where you work and live.

New Zealand:I became an unreliable driver!
(Experience)
• Transposed location of levers for turn
signals & wipers
• Location of turn varied by whether
manufacturer is Asian or European
• Why shouldn’t location of critical
controls be standard in vehicles or at
least standard within a given country?
• Resulted in me turning on the wipers
rather than signaling a turn!

New Zealand:Seismic Shifts in Reliability
Important buildings vulnerable
Undertook a massive retrofit to
Parliament to install earthquake
mitigations: base isolators
While focus here is on building
stability & safety, earthquakes also
pose serious hazards to all types of
infrastructure – power, water…..

• https://www.parliament.nz/en/visit-and-learn/how-parliament-works/fact-sheets/earth-move
• 417 base isolator bearings were installed in the existing foundations under Parliament House and the Parliamentary
Library
• Buildings were separated from their original foundations by a 20mm seismic gap

New Zealand:Seismic Shifts in Reliability
*Base isolation reduces the transfer of earthquake forces from the foundations to the building above and reduces
the need for extensive and intrusive strengthening concrete shear walls throughout the building.
Installing base isolators required:
1. Propping up the whole building section by
section
2. Cutting out large 7-ton blocks of the existing
foundations
3. Building new concrete foundations to hold
the isolators
Quite impressive to see
the scale of this retrofit!

What have I
learned &
borrowed?
Automation & high tech is not always the best
approach
Adapt approach based on where it will be used
Consider adjacent industries
& “severe” environment
proving grounds
Earthquake = severe vibration &
shock
Death Valley = stand-in for
extreme temperatures (auto
proving grounds)
Tropics = humidity, condensation,
insects
Explore

Wrapping it Up.....
• Consider reliability
in the context of
risks & objectives
• Challenge biases
• Looks for ideas in
the world around
you
You’ll rarely see
reliability data unless
the results are
overwhelmingly
positive or negative -
catastrophic event
