Development of Electric Network Impact on Socio-Economic of Ghazni Province, Republic of Afghanistan

The research paper investigates about the development of Elec-network which influences on socio-economic scenario of the Afghanistan particularly on Ghazni region. It is one of the southestern province of Afganistan, where the rate of energy consumption is comparatively low. Thus, 70 % urbanized people have an access of using electricity and rest of humanity does not have any kind of facility there. The main focus of electricity contains use of soler system as an energy source. The purpose of this research is electrification in other areas points to benefits for healthcare, education, and economic development as well as agriculture poverty and quality of life of the Ghazni province. In this way, using renewable energy, which has become more popular recently, is a superior choice. In this paper the researcher would discuse how the growth of electricity promote socio-economic advancement in Ghazni. Nonetheless, cost and fair distribution are important factors to take into account. Examining case studies from different countries, we examine the macro- and micro-economic benefits, emphasizing the advantages for healthcare, education, and other aspects of quality of life as well as the issues associated with costs for households. In order to wrap up, the research analyzes how electrification may affect Ghazni's socio-economic growth in a number of ways, including job creation, economic stimulation, quality of life, healthcare and education, poverty alleviation, and agriculture. The only solution to electrify the entire province and raise the economic and social status of the people is to create electrical plants using renewable energy, especially solar panels. The researcher would assess that expanding electrical networks is one of the current alternatives for the socio-economic development of Ghazni bucolic areas.

General purpose data streaming platform for log analysis, anomaly detection and security protection

INFN-CNAF is one of the Worldwide LHC Computing Grid (WLCG) Tier-1 data centres, providing computing, networking and storage resources to a wide variety of scientific collaborations, not limited to the four LHC (Large Hadron Collider) experiments. The INFN-CNAF data centre will move to a new location next year. At the same time, the requirements from our experiments and users are becoming increasingly challenging and new scientific communities have started or will soon start exploiting our resources. Currently, we are reengineering several services, in particular our monitoring infrastructure, in order to improve the day-by-day operations and to cope with the increasing complexity of the use cases and with the future expansion of the centre. This scenario led us to implement a data streaming infrastructure designed to enable log analysis, anomaly detection, threat hunting, integrity monitoring and incident response. Such data streaming platform has been organised to manage different kinds of data coming from heterogeneous sources, to support multi-tenancy and to be scalable. Moreover, we will be able to provide an on demand end-to-end data streaming application to those users/communities requesting such kind of facility. The infrastructure is based on the Apache Kafka platform, which provides streaming of events at large scale, with authorization and authentication configured at the topic level for ensuring data isolation and protection. Data can be consumed by different applications, such as those devoted to log analysis, which provide the capability to index large amounts of data and implement appropriate access policies to inspect and visualise information. In this contribution we will present and motivate our technological choices for the definition of the infrastructure, we will describe its components and we will depict use cases which can be addressed with this platform.

Analysis of Heat and Mass Transfer in Compost-Bedded Pack Barns for Dairy Cows Using Computational Fluid Dynamics: A Review

To ensure a supply of dairy products, modern dairy farming has assumed an intensive nature, characterized by production in collective facilities with the presence of thermal conditioning, some automation level, and high-use inputs. Among the systems used for dairy cattle confinement, Compost-Bedded Pack Barns (CBPs) have been gaining importance and increasingly have been used in recent decades. CBPs must be designed and managed to ensure the best thermal comfort conditions throughout the year and, consequently, improve productivity, milk quality, and the health of the dairy herd. In this context, modeling via Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) emerges as a tool with huge potential for studying the thermal environmental conditions in the beds of CBPs, making it possible to improve projects and/or management practices in this kind of facility. This document is organized as a review, and its objective is to present the state of the art of the applicability of the CFD technique in the study of heat and mass transfer in CBP systems. So far, only four studies have used CFD for modeling CBP systems and have shown that the use of this tool helps to better understand the phenomena of heat and mass transfer in this kind of facility. Therefore, it is important that more studies using this technique in CBP systems be conducted, including additional considerations on constructive elements, animals, and the presence of beds in composting.

Development of Maximum Weaving Length Model Based on HCM 2016

Weaving segments are among the most important segments in any kind of facility. One of their key features is their maximum length (Lwmax), which determines the performance of the facility as a weaving or separate merge and diverge segments. Based on an equation in the Highway Capacity Manual (HCM 2016), only two variables VR (volume ratio) and Nwl (number of weaving lanes) influence this length. However, certain cases can be found in which traffic conditions are different but Nwl and VR values are equal. In this study, three separate weaving segments in Tehran, Iran were used and their data were collected to further analyze the influence of the traffic parameters. Calibration of field data was performed using GEH values of freeways and ramps for simulation and field traffic volumes. The simulation was therefore used on the basis of different traffic and geometric parameters, and the effects of these parameters on Lwmax were carefully observed. There were 184 simulated scenarios in Aimsun using data collected from the three weaving segments in Tehran plus simulation. In these scenarios, two geometric parameters (Nwl and Lwmax) and four traffic parameters were considered variable. It was found that for Nwl = 2 the accepted regression model containing three new variables has an R2 value equal to 0.95, and for Nwl = 3 two of the three variables were used for the model produced with an R2 value equal to 0.7.

The Ultimately Large Telescope: What Kind of Facility Do We Need to Detect Population III Stars?

Abstract The launch of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) will open up a new window for observations at the highest redshifts, reaching out to . However, even with this new facility, the first stars will remain out of reach, as they are born in small minihalos with luminosities too faint to be detected even by the longest exposure times. In this paper, we investigate the basic properties of the Ultimately Large Telescope, a facility that can detect Population III star formation regions at high redshift. Observations will take place in the near-infrared and therefore a Moon-based facility is proposed. An instrument needs to reach magnitudes as faint as 39 magAB, corresponding to a primary mirror size of about 100 m in diameter. Assuming JWST NIRCam filters, we estimate that Population III sources will have unique signatures in a color–color space and can be identified unambiguously.

A Hybrid Encryption Model to Lower the Complexity of Securing the Data in Cloud

Remote Cloud services are very efficient to overcome the deficiency of native resources. This kind of facility and assets availability which depends on the quality of link to the remote server, and this arrangement may fail due to poor connectivity scenarios. For requests demanding large data trans- fers to the remote host, performing the computation on the device can have well performance than relying on processing by the remote host when the device’s Internet connection is extremely poor. Attaining good performance is conditional and depends on an optimal dividing of the application mechanism among the device and cloud platforms depends on runtime conditions. A cloud structure with dynamic checking on bunch of cloud facility sources for optimum distributing of the submission built on runtime situations is implemented. The framework consists of hybrid encryption (DES and Blowfish) before uploading the customer records to cloud loading in vision to safely distribute data between several clouds.

Opioid use disorder and youth: Agonists recommended

Extreme concern about opioid overdoses and overdose deaths among young people is dovetailing with solutions — in particular, expanding treatment with buprenorphine and methadone for this population. Expansion of treatment for adolescents and young adults — ages 15 to 25 — with opioid use disorders (OUDs) is critical, researcher after researcher has written. But there has been a reticence by parents in particular, and even by some clinicians, about prescribing buprenorphine, a Schedule III opioid, to young people, or to sending them to an opioid treatment program (the only kind of facility in the United States where methadone can be dispensed for OUD). Both medications can be given to youth as young as 16.

Failure analysis of subsidence in an effluent treatment plant in a thermosolar power plant

Abstract An essential section in the normal operation of a thermosolar power plant is the management of those effluents that are generated by the diverse processes that take place in the power plant equipment. Due to environmental regulations, it is necessary to develop an effluent treatment plant before all those fluids can be discharged into the environment. In such a plant, a neutralization process is performed, by adding certain chemicals, resulting in an environmentally safe spill. During the execution of this kind of facility in La Asturiana thermosolar power plant, all design requirements were fulfilled, without any incident. Nevertheless, during the commissioning of the facility, several pieces of equipment showed settlements that were much higher than the established limits, which led to a temporary shut-down of the facility. In order to discover the causes, evaluate the risk of repetition in other areas of the power plant and to be able to select the best corrective action, a forensic study was carried out. This study started with several field data tests and was concluded with the development of a computer model. The above mentioned study focused on one of the affected pieces of equipment, and on the surprising conclusions obtained with regard to the causes of the incident, which are developed in the present article.

UTILIZING A WEBSITE TO INCREASE EDUCATION QUALITY AWARENESS IN WEST KALIMANTAN RURAL VILLAGES

Education already become a basic human right since they were born. But geographical condition differentiates the level of education quality they get. Especially in most development countries with low implementation of ICT (Information, Communication, and Technology). In this digital era, it is hard to achieve an effective and efficient learning environment in rural areas. Infrastructures and teaching tools in those areas are very humble. Few books can be read. With limited educational background, social-economy issues will always keep remain. Love Borneo is an organic community that want to make a change for children in rural villages in West Kalimantan. They build a facility called Rumah Baca that provide good quality books suitable for children. They collect donated books and some money to buy books and educational games for children. Since 2015, they already build 10 Rumah Baca. But there are still so many villages that need this kind of facility. To build awareness about education for children in rural villages, this article discusses the development of a dedicated website called www.loveborneo.org that provides up to date information about this community and their activities. People around the world can access this website and can officially support this community. www.loveborneo.org is only one example of ICT implementation to help rural citizens.

Impact of an Alkaline Solution on the Chemistry, Mineralogy, and Sorption Properties of a Typic Rhodudult Soil

Abstract The preferred option for disposal of short-lived low and intermediate level radioactive wastes is a near surface disposal facility in which soil is one of the barriers that avoid radionuclide migration outside the controlled area. For construction of that kind of facility, concrete is widely used, and its interaction with water induces its degradation, resulting in a high pH solution. The alkaline solution may affect the near-field environment of radioactive waste repositories, including the soil, promoting mineralogical alterations that [...]

The Analysis of the Factors Which Affect the Building Costs in Indonesia

Buildings are the kind of facility needed by everyone. The accuracy in determining the amount of costs required to build a building has become a challenge for all parties involved in the process. This study aims to determine the factors affecting the cost of a building. By using four independent variables, i.e. floor area, number of floors, foundation depth, and project implementation time, and one dependent variable in the form of a contract value of the building project, an analysis to determine the factors that influence the cost of a building has been made. Using 81 samples in several cities in Indonesia and multiple linear regression of stepwise method, the results show three factors that significantly affect the cost of building projects. They are floor area, number of floors, and project implementation time. This is indicated by tcount for floor area of 12.770, tcount for the number of floors of 46.05, and tcount for project implementation time of 2.321.

Energy evaluation of R152a as drop in replacement for R134a in cascade refrigeration plants

An experimental comparison has been performed of a cascade refrigeration facility working with the refrigerant pairs R134a/R744 and R152a/R744. This kind of facility is suitable for industrial and commercial refrigeration applications. The high GWP refrigerant R134a has been substituted with the low GWP refrigerant R152a, in accordance with the new environmental regulations aimed at mitigating the Greenhouse effect. As both refrigerants belong to the family of HFC fluids, the replacement has been carried out as a drop-in. Apart from safety considerations, as R152a is included in the A2 group, the results of the wide range of tests conducted show that no special energy improvement or worsening is achieved, and that the replacement of R134a with R152a is technically and energetically feasible.

One of us: Stories from two New Zealand rest homes

In this article we explore the ways in which two aged residential care facilities in New Zealand construct and present themselves through the stories told by those who live and work in them. Ethnographic field notes and interviews were analysed using an immersion/crystallization method consistent with a narrative gerontology framework. Woven into residents' stories about their lives in the facility were tales of earlier lives and identities, immigration, occupations, marriage, tragedies and medical emergencies. Care workers, nursing staff and managers talked about vocation, the ethos and values of the institution and the importance that both staff and residents felt a sense of belonging and ‘being one of us.’ These stories, ‘talk into reality’ the aged residential care facility as a particular kind of rest home, in which residents feel ‘at home’. In addition, as researchers who brought our own stories to the project, we actively contributed to the construction of each institution as a certain kind of facility.

Research on Model Development for Freeway Safety Facilities

To make freeway safety facilities function well, field survey is carried out to evaluate the maintenance quality of freeway safety facilities. In traditional models, the same weight values are assigned to the safety facilities while evaluating without considering the functional differences of different facilities. The paper develops the maintenance quality evaluation procedure and the model considering the functional differences of freeway safety facilities. In the evaluation procedure, the safety facility damage in function is the main index to get the evaluation scores for each kind of facility. The purpose of the model is to convert the evaluation scores of different safety facilities to an overall maintenance quality measure, and this result can reveal the overall facility maintenance quality of the freeway segment. In order to build the model and confirm the calculated weight of each kind of facility, Multivariable Regression and Optimized Analytic Hierarchy Process were used separately. The model was validated by comparing the proposed model evaluation results and the reorganized survey evaluation results. The coefficient of correlation (R2value) is 0.9048, which shows strong correlation between the subjective evaluation and objective evaluation.

Prevalence of Chlamydia trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium in asymptomatic patients under 30 years of age screened in a French sexually transmitted infections clinic.

An increasing prevalence of sexually transmitted infections (STI) has been noted in France over the past decade. Asymptomatic carriage may be high in patients infected with Chlamydia trachomatis attending free and anonymous screening centres (CDAG) and information, diagnosis and screening centres for STI (CIDDIST). In these centres, systematic C.trachomatis detection is recommended in women ≤25 years and in men ≤30 years. This study aimed at estimating the prevalence of C.trachomatis, Neisseria gonorrhoeae and Mycoplasma genitalium in asymptomatic patients younger than 30 years attending a CDAG-CIDDIST. A free systematic screening for C.trachomatis, N.gonorrhoeae and M.genitalium was offered to asymptomatic subjects under 30 years attending the Montpellier CDAG-CIDDIST from April to August 2009. Pathogens were identified by PCR in first void urine samples. Of the 1381 subjects included (53.8% women and 46.2% men), 105 (42.9% men and 57.1% women) tested positive for C.trachomatis (7.6%, 95% CI [6.3;9.13]); eight (seven men and one woman) tested positive for M.genitalium (0.58% [0.2;1]) of whom two were infected with C.trachomatis ; five (two men and three women) tested positive for N.gonorrhoeae (0.36% [0.1;0.8]) of whom three were infected with C.trachomatis. This study confirmed the need for C.trachomatis screening in all patients under 30 years. Our results did not support a systematic screening for N.gonorrhoeae and M.genitalium in urine samples in this kind of facility.

Effects of environmental variables on the photo-Fenton plant design

A model to track the dynamics of an outdoor photo-Fenton plant is proposed to design and scale up this kind of facility. This takes into account explicit variation in temperature and UV irradiation. The degradation of a paracetamol-contaminated wastewater was used to develop the model, first at lab scale and then at pilot plant scale in order to fine tune it. Provided with historical data on environmental conditions, an efficient design using the model is obtained with the QUV method, which is the normal procedure, computing the accumulated energy per volume unit needed to reach a particular mineralization level. The application of the model allows scaling the plant on the basis of yearly environmental conditions and predicting the treatment capacity of the plant as a function of these environmental conditions. Additionally, plant performance can be compared for different locations as a function of UV radiation and temperature conditions. For a given yearly treatment volume goal, when moving from the best conditions to the worst conditions, a plant size five times higher was needed, whilst the QUV needed to achieve the desired mineralization only increased three fold.
