Behavioral-alike model-driven residential charger power projection in serving private electric mobility in the new capital city of Indonesia

The provision of electric charging facilities in public areas, public transport depots, logistics depots, logistics consignment hubs, and residential areas is targeted for Indonesia’s new capital city (INCC) in pacing the (near to) zero-emission in the transport sector by 2045. Hence, the supportive electric mobility infrastructure should gradually be merged from the design stage to achieve directed goals. However, since the planning process for grid-supporting infrastructure is undergoing or within the preliminary phase or has not been done yet, there is a lack of required data, i.e., the rollout number of electric vehicles (EVs) units, sizing areas, and the compliance interconnection feeder. Meanwhile, using practical estimations or averaging techniques could lead to significant discrepancies, particularly regarding grid-supportive investment planning, i.e., redesign for grid capacity assets. On that concern, the paper constructs a model-driven using the predictive Monte Carlo method (MCM) to generate power load patterns, mimicking behavior-alike of residential home chargers for two|three|four wheeled EVs (2|3|4 WEVs) providing high-resolution power consumption data over unknown parameters related to the EVs properties, user behavior charging timeframes, and the expected tailor-made platform (sizing and allocation). Therefore, the findings are expected to be evidence-based replanning policy for policymakers, energy planners, and utilities.

GERMAN LOGISTICAL PREPARATIONS FOR THE 1939 BLITZER UPON POLAND: LOGISTIC INTELLIGENCE PERSPECTIVE

Logistical support was essential to maintain the German offensive's momentum during the Blitzkrieg on Poland in 1939. The Blitzkrieg launched by Germany against Poland was supported by combat logistics ranging from planning the logistical needs of operations to logistics distribution. For this reason, intelligence capabilities that can provide accurate information about the condition of logistics are needed, mainly logistical estimates in addition to information on other military aspects. The purpose of this paper is to analyse Germany's preparations for the Blitzkrieg against Poland in 1939 from the perspective of logistical intelligence. The method used in this writing is descriptive with a literature study approach. In analysing the substance focus, both information and data are obtained from open sources, including mass media, electronic media, literature, and other open sources. Based on German intelligence information about the enemy's current and ongoing activities, led Hitler to carry out an arms program to keep up with the development of the political situation by developing the weaponry of his armed forces. Logistics depots are prepared according to the disposition of the frontline troops to re-equip and adjust with information about the area of operation analysis.

Accounting in Traditional Farmers: Lessons from Farmer Groups in Purworejo, Central Java

The purpose of this study is to find out how to determine the cost of goods sold and the selling price of agricultural products according to farmers and according to accounting.Data analysis used is descriptive method, that is data collected, grouped and arranged so that it can be examined based on relevant theories and related to the problems discussed for conclusions.From the results of the research that the writer did, the authors concluded that in determining the selling price, the farmers of the Sri Mulya farmer group were not in accordance with the correct accounting calculations.

Evaluation of the Tsunamic Vulnerability of an Existing Structure in Metallic Framework by Combining of the Time History Method and Capacity Curves Analysis with Interpretation of the Results According to Risk UE

The massive amount of human and material damages, caused by the tragic tsunami of 26 December 2004 to the Indian Ocean, has been an intense incentive for the scientists and the civil engineers to predict the behavior of existing structures under the influence of various solicitations generated by this sinister devastation. Harbor infrastructures, particularly logistics depots, chemical, thermal and nuclear power stations and also the various installations classified as highly sensitive, remain potential targets that are highly exposed to the risks of tsunamis, especially since they are mostly light structures made of metal and not designed or dimensioned to withstand this hazard. The present work consists in evaluating the tsunamic vulnerability of an existing metallic hangar at the Jorf Lasfar harbor in Morocco, located about few meters from the Atlantic Ocean, a site containing a significant industrial activity. We have, in a first step, modeled the structure, on the SAP 2000 software, in order to check its stability against the wind, in accordance with the Moroccan calculation regulation. Then, the forces generated by the waves were modeled with the experimental tests according to the topographic data of the studied area and taking into account the numerical simulation results. These ones gives the maximum height of the wave retained is that recorded by the dramatic tsunami perpetrated on 1 November 1755. This tsunami was assumed to be the most unfavorable and destroyer in the North Atlantic Ocean, including the Moroccan City of El Jadida, located less than 18 kms from Jorf Lasfar harbor, causing harm and massive damage at that time. In a second step, a capacity curve was established following an incremental and successive loading on each row of steel columns, forming the supporting structure of the metal frame, by progressive application of the tsunamic forces on the time history format. The height of the wave was increased by a step of 0.5 m until reaching the maximum height previously fixed. The nonlinearity was introduced to the model through the plastic hinges at the nodes. The capacity curve obtained, represents the base shear reaction force of the structure as a function of the maximum displacement, this allowed us to determine the point of performance and the global response of the structure. Finally, we have interpreted the fragility curves established according to Risk UE, and the determination of the vulnerability of the structure in order to suggest the possible scenarios that will have to be recommended according to the different modes of probable damage.

Landscape Archaeology of World War Two German Logistics Depots in the Forêt domaniale des Andaines, Normandy, France

Archaeological survey in the Foret domaniale des Andaines has recorded nearly 900 discrete earthwork bunkers, building foundations, trenches, and other features associated with WW2 German fuel, munitions and logistics depots. Documentary evidence establishes these depots were administered from Bagnoles-de-l’Orne and were a key component of the Seventh Army logistics network before and during the Normandy Campaign of June-August 1944. Post-war survival of features has been remarkably good in this forested setting and it is argued that this likely constitutes one of the best-preserved and most extensive examples of a non-hardened WW2 archaeological landscape yet documented in Western Europe.

Sustainable Freight

Assessments were made of the impacts on freight traffic and operations of two sustainability policies currently in effect in London, a congestion charge zone (CCZ) and a low emissions zone (LEZ). Responses by freight operators, including retiming, rerouting, reducing the number of trips and kilometers traveled, and replacing vehicles, was investigated. Trends from 1994 to 2012 were identified with the use of road traffic estimates, cordon counts, and vehicle speed data, supplemented by interviews with freight industry experts and operators. In this time frame, goods traffic increased throughout London but declined in the central CCZ. Findings indicate that freight traffic was largely insensitive to the congestion charge. Price elasticity of demand was estimated as 2.04 to 2.06 for light goods vehicles and as perfectly inelastic for medium and heavy goods vehicles in the long run. The congestion charge may have time-shifted some light goods vehicle trips. No evidence was found of rerouting of freight traffic or avoidance traffic around the CCZ. Freight operators likely benefited from travel time reductions and journey reliability improvements throughout Inner London, a wider area than the CCZ. Operational efficiencies may have been achieved through greater vehicle load consolidation but offset by the relocation of logistics depots and warehouses priced out of central London. The LEZ was effective at spurring vehicle replacement, including some substitution to smaller vehicles. Discussion recounts freight operators' perceptions of these policies and how their concerns have been addressed.

Mars Surface Exploration Caching from an Orbiting Logistics Depot

E XPLORATION missions on Earth have used the principle of caching for centuries. Caching involves prepositioning discrete quantities of supplies at specific locations along a route in order to lighten the burden or extend the range of an exploring party. Historical missions that made use of caching on Earth are the Lewis and Clark expedition in 1803–1806 [1] and the ill-fated Imperial Trans-Antarctic Expedition of 1914–1917 [2]. Caching may play an important role in the future of manned planetary exploration as well. Without it, exploration sorties are inherently limited to a specific distance from a base or landing location given by the type of transportation vehicles used, the size of the crew, the mix and quantity of consumables, operational rules, and the nature of the terrain. For manned lunar missions, for example, this distance has been estimated at 3 km for exploration on foot, 5–15 km with unpressurized rovers, and up to 30 kmwith pressurized rovers [3]. In part, exploration range is determined by the quantity of consumables that can be carried along, limiting the amount of useful exploration that can be done at distances greater than 30 km from the landing site or base. Similar issues exist for manned Mars exploration. This Note explores the concept of storing caches in a logistics depot on orbit and deliberately deploying them to the surface to extend human exploration range.Wewill useMars as the motivating context, but the idea may apply to other situations as well. We first introduce the concept and then perform initial sizing of such a depot. This Note does not explore the full tradespace of orbital depots and caching architectures. Caching in space exploration can be implemented as two different architectures: direct entry from inspace trajectory and orbital entry from a low Mars orbit. While the direct entry does not contain the Martian orbit insertion maneuver and can be more efficient in terms of required V, this Note only considers the orbital entry because of the following two reasons. First, the short time gap between deployment decision and actual landing of the supply unit provides meaningful flexibility to operate on orbit. Secondly, advanced propulsion systems such as a nuclear electric propulsion system (NEP) and solar electric propulsion can significantly reduce the cost resulting from the orbit insertion, and the efficiency gap gets very small. Let us consider an orbiting logistics depot that is composed of a cluster of supply units deployed to aMartian orbit. Each prepackaged supply unit contains supply items (fuel and consumables) that allow extending the range of humans exploring the surface of Mars. Figure 1 shows the orbiting depot concept and its concept of operations. Typically, one or more surface vehicles start exploration from a base and return to the base before all fuel and consumables (e.g., fuel, food, water, and oxygen) have been expended. This is the case of an unassisted surface route, yielding a total distanceD. In this case, the amount of fuel and consumables that can be used during a single route is determined by the capacity of the surface exploration vehicle. Now suppose that there is a logistics depot in Martian orbit and it is possible to command the depot to drop a supply unit (pod) filled with a known mix and quantity of consumables corresponding approximately to a vehicle’s capacity. If the supply unit lands at such a location that the surface exploration vehicle can reach the unit before it runs out of consumables, the vehicle’s range can effectively be doubled to 2D. This is the case of the depot-assisted surface route shown in Fig. 1 (right) along with a simulated pod landing error ellipse. In the following sections we discuss the most important design decisions for such an orbiting depot, including orbit selection, individual supply unit design, and depot operations. These calculations are meant to establish a realistic “strawman” for the concept. Studies regarding detailed design in the context of specific surface exploration campaign strategies are left for future work.

Logistics Centre Concept through Evolution and Definition

Along with worldwide production and trade globalization, the importance of logistics centres is growing in the supply chain management efficiency aspect. The paper reviews existing terminology of facilities for logistics operations. Most commonly logistics centre concept is consolidated with understanding of distribution centre, central warehouse, freight/transport terminal, transport node, logistics platform, freight village, logistics depot, distripark etc. An attempt to rectify the hierarchy of logistics facilities and formulate the definition of logistics centre was made in the article. The structure of logistics facilities hierarchy was proposed by the authors. Efforts were put to compare the concepts and understandings worked out by different world and Lithuanian authors and point out the development and evolution of logistics centres.Logistics centre concept appeared 30 years ago. During this period either practical or nonfiction understanding of Logistics centre functional and conceptual significance has changed. Logistics centres can be classified into three different categories or generations on evolution basis. It is based on the scope and extension of logistics activities. Historically, typical logistics functions were shipping, receiving, storage, order picking, break-bulk, freight consolidation and containerization. Today, thanks to technology, many distribution operations are computerized, automated, and equipped with state-of-the-art material handling equipment and information systems. Nowadays many distribution operations have added a number of value-added services, including total logistics management, inventory control and tracking, packaging, labeling and bar coding, procurement and vendor management, and customer service functions, such as returns, repair, rework and assortment promotional assembly. Due to the process of evolution as well as types and functionality of centres recently developed in the market there is no embracing concept and definition for logistics centre term determination. Lots of scientists (Pegrum, 1963; Bowersox, Smykay, LaLonde, 1968; Reynaud, Gouvernal, 1987; Cavinato, 1989; Holtgen, 1996; Johnson, Wood, 1996; Wiegmans, Masurel, Nijkamp, 1998; Breitzmann, Wenske, 1999; Ballis, Golias, 2002; Židonis, 2002; Waters, 2003; Kondratowicz, 2003; Kia, Shayan, Ghotb, 2003; Ballou, 2004; Urbonas, 2004; Meidutė, Vasiliauskas, 2005; Rushton, Croucher, Baker, 2006; Lu, Yang, 2006; etc) examined the theory of logistics and supply chain management, coping with logistics centre determination and functionality analysis, among all. Survey findings showed that not only terms, but the concepts differ as well. Logistics researchers have made little effort to build a unified logistics centre conception. The definition of logistics centre was proposed by the paper author coming to the conclusion that evaluating presence and scope of the factors in Logistics centre definition, Logistics centre can be considered as Freight village, Transport node or Distribution centre as well.

On the Razor's edge: The liberation tigers of Tamil Eelam

The Liberation Tigers of Tamil Eelam (LTTE) are a guerilla/terrorist group representing the minority Tamil community, fighting for an Eelam, or homeland in the northern and eastern provinces of Sri Lanka. Led by V. Pirabhakaran, the group started as a small forty to fifty man outfit in the early 1980s, but has since grown to an organization of several thousand. A unique, if macabre feature of its tactics has been the use of suicide commandos, both men and women, some in their early teens, for individual assassination as well as mass attacks. A former Indian prime minister, a Sri Lankan president, and several top aides have been targeted and killed in this way. The LTTE has not hesitated to kill prominent Sinhala civilians. Between 1987 and 1990 LTTE fought the Indian Army, which was sent to disarm it as part of an Indian‐Sri Lankan agreement. After the Indian pullout in 1990, the organization used a suicide bomber to carry out the assassination of former Indian Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi. Thereafter Indian authorities unravelled a well‐organized network of safe houses, supporters, and logistics depots in Tamil Nadu. India maintains a strict naval cordon sanitate around the area of conflict, which shows no signs of abating.
