The internet of Energy will connect all stakeholders in the energy system through an integrated data and power network. This will create a smart grid that supports renewable energy sources, consumer engagement, innovation, and economic benefits. Technologies like electric vehicles, home energy management systems, microgrids, and renewable generation can help optimize energy supply and demand in this internet of energy framework. Standards and policies are needed to realize this vision of a modernized electric grid.
Transforming the Electricity System to Meet Future Demand and Reduce Greenhou...Gruene-it.org
Most of the world’s electricity delivery system or “grid” was built when energy was relatively inexpensive. While minor upgrades have been made to meet increasing demand, the grid still operates the way it did almost 100 years ago—energy flows over the grid from central power plants to consumers, and reliability is ensured by maintaining excess capacity.

Quantifying the impact of green leasing on energy use in a retail portfolio: ...David Wallom
1) The document analyzes the impact of "green leases" and memorandums of understanding on energy use in a large UK retail portfolio. Green leases are agreements between landlords and tenants to collaborate on environmental and energy management.
2) Energy use data from 800 UK stores between 2009-2015 was analyzed to compare stores with green leases or MOUs to those without. The analysis found little statistically significant difference, likely due to lack of metadata on the agreements and stores.
3) While some individual store types saw reductions, changes could not be fully attributed to the agreements due to lack of property details and potential portfolio-wide efficiency policies. Long-term analysis of more similar stores may better quantify the instruments
Trust and Cloud computing, removing the need for the consumer to trust their ...David Wallom
Trusted computing and remote attestation techniques can be used to build trust in cloud computing by creating a "chain of trust" from the hardware to the cloud services and user data. This allows a user to verify the configuration of each component in the cloud and ensure only authorized applications and services can access sensitive data. The solution involves using trusted computing mechanisms like TPM chips to attest cloud hosts, VMs, and services. It also allows application and data whitelisting based on these remote attestations to build trust without requiring users to unconditionally trust their cloud provider.

Trusted computing and remote attestation techniques can be used to build trust in cloud computing by creating a "chain of trust" from the hardware to cloud services and data. This allows users to verify that only authorized applications and services are accessing data and resources as intended, without needing to unconditionally trust the cloud provider. The solution involves using trusted computing mechanisms like TPMs to attest different components in the cloud infrastructure and ensure only expected software configurations are present. It also proposes using a distributed open attestation service to periodically examine cloud nodes and verify their configurations remain intact, helping address issues of resilience and scalability for attestation.

1990-2050 sulphur dioxide emissions data from ECLIPSE v5a for use in Met Offi...David Wallom
This document describes 1990-2050 sulphur dioxide emissions data from the ECLIPSE v5a model that has been processed for use in climate models from the Met Office. The ECLIPSE data provides more recent observations and projections under different scenarios than prior data. The 5-yearly land and shipping SO2 estimates were combined, split into surface and high-level emissions, converted to the appropriate format and resolution, and interpolated to monthly values. This processed ECLIPSE SO2 data set will enable its use in other climate models to better understand the impact of SO2 emissions uncertainties on climate studies.
Supporting Research through "Desktop as a Service" models of e-infrastructure...David Wallom
Keynote presentation given 13/9/16 @ ESA Earth Observation Open Science workshop 2016.
"The rise in cloud computing as an e-infrastructure model is one that has the power to democratise access to computational and data resources throughout the research communities. We have seen the difference that Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) has made for different communities and are now only beginning to understand what different models further up the stack can make. It is also becoming clear that with the increase in research data volumes, the number of sources and the possibility of utilising data from different regulatory regimes that a different model of how analysis is performed on the data is possible. Utilising a "Desktop as a Service" model, with community focused applications installed on a common and well understood virtual system image that is directly connected to community relevant data allows the researcher to no longer have to consider moving data but only the final analysed results. This massively simplifies both the user model and the data and resource owner model. We will consider the specific example of the Environmental Ecomics Synthesis Cloud and how it could easily be generalised to other areas."

Key discussion points included refining definitions of characteristics like "advanced security" and ensuring standards profiles allow for conformance with incorporated standards. The workshop aimed to further develop the methodology for creating profiles and move the process forward.
This document discusses big data in the context of energy usage and infrastructure. It addresses challenges in analyzing, storing, and accessing big data. It provides examples of how analytics can be used to classify energy costs, cluster load profiles, and analyze the impact of time-of-use pricing on commercial energy consumption. Issues discussed around big data include high costs of storage and transfer, lack of data standards, and ensuring data is uniformly accessible to stakeholders while protecting privacy.
The document discusses deforestation trends in the Brazilian state of Rondônia. Rondônia has high rates of deforestation largely due to colonization projects and the expansion of beef and soy production since the 1960s. Deforestation increased dramatically in the 1980s as land was cleared for pastures and croplands. By the 1990s, Rondônia had one of the largest cattle herds in Brazil. Soy production began in the 1990s, often displacing cattle on existing pastures and indirectly causing more deforestation. Deforestation rates remained high until 2005 when they decreased due to policy initiatives, corporate commitments, and decreased demand during an economic crisis. The state government supports forest protection policies

The binding of cosmological structures by massless topological defectsSérgio Sacani
Assuming spherical symmetry and weak field, it is shown that if one solves the Poisson equation or the Einstein field
equations sourced by a topological defect, i.e. a singularity of a very specific form, the result is a localized gravitational
field capable of driving flat rotation (i.e. Keplerian circular orbits at a constant speed for all radii) of test masses on a thin
spherical shell without any underlying mass. Moreover, a large-scale structure which exploits this solution by assembling
concentrically a number of such topological defects can establish a flat stellar or galactic rotation curve, and can also deflect
light in the same manner as an equipotential (isothermal) sphere. Thus, the need for dark matter or modified gravity theory is
mitigated, at least in part.

ESR spectroscopy in liquid food and beverages.pptxPRIYANKA PATEL
With increasing population, people need to rely on packaged food stuffs. Packaging of food materials requires the preservation of food. There are various methods for the treatment of food to preserve them and irradiation treatment of food is one of them. It is the most common and the most harmless method for the food preservation as it does not alter the necessary micronutrients of food materials. Although irradiated food doesn’t cause any harm to the human health but still the quality assessment of food is required to provide consumers with necessary information about the food. ESR spectroscopy is the most sophisticated way to investigate the quality of the food and the free radicals induced during the processing of the food. ESR spin trapping technique is useful for the detection of highly unstable radicals in the food. The antioxidant capability of liquid food and beverages in mainly performed by spin trapping technique.
Or: Beyond linear.
Abstract: Equivariant neural networks are neural networks that incorporate symmetries. The nonlinear activation functions in these networks result in interesting nonlinear equivariant maps between simple representations, and motivate the key player of this talk: piecewise linear representation theory.

Describing and Interpreting an Immersive Learning Case with the Immersion Cub...Leonel Morgado
Current descriptions of immersive learning cases are often difficult or impossible to compare. This is due to a myriad of different options on what details to include, which aspects are relevant, and on the descriptive approaches employed. Also, these aspects often combine very specific details with more general guidelines or indicate intents and rationales without clarifying their implementation. In this paper we provide a method to describe immersive learning cases that is structured to enable comparisons, yet flexible enough to allow researchers and practitioners to decide which aspects to include. This method leverages a taxonomy that classifies educational aspects at three levels (uses, practices, and strategies) and then utilizes two frameworks, the Immersive Learning Brain and the Immersion Cube, to enable a structured description and interpretation of immersive learning cases. The method is then demonstrated on a published immersive learning case on training for wind turbine maintenance using virtual reality. Applying the method results in a structured artifact, the Immersive Learning Case Sheet, that tags the case with its proximal uses, practices, and strategies, and refines the free text case description to ensure that matching details are included. This contribution is thus a case description method in support of future comparative research of immersive learning cases. We then discuss how the resulting description and interpretation can be leveraged to change immersion learning cases, by enriching them (considering low-effort changes or additions) or innovating (exploring more challenging avenues of transformation). The method holds significant promise to support better-grounded research in immersive learning.

RC -> Ratio of cost
‘ratio of cost’ (RC) of changing from a generic Tariff A to a Tariff B in the following way. First, compute independently the cost of using Tariff A and the cost of Tariff B for each business i (i.e. and respectively). For example, the cost of using RTT for a generic i business is computed adding the energy consumption for each t time interval multiplied by the price of energy for this interval given by the BETTA (pt):
(1)
Secondly, compute a normalisation factor by dividing the sum of the costs of all the business when they use Tariff A by the sum of the costs of all the business when they use Tariff B:
(2)
This factor guarantees that the cost of the sum of all the businesses is the same for both tariffs (Borenstein 2007). Finally, compute the RC of changing from Tariff A to Tariff B:
