A Novel Approach For Optimal Sizing Of Stand-Alone Solar Pv Systems With Power Quality Considerations, Aakash Hassan, Octavian Bass, Yasir M. Al-Abdeli, Martin Masek, Mohammad A. S. Masoum Jan 2023

A Novel Approach For Optimal Sizing Of Stand-Alone Solar Pv Systems With Power Quality Considerations, Aakash Hassan, Octavian Bass, Yasir M. Al-Abdeli, Martin Masek, Mohammad A. S. Masoum

Research outputs 2022 to 2026

Designing reliable and cost-effective solar PV systems with compliance to national and international power quality standards is critical for their economical, efficient, and safe operation. The conventional approaches currently being used to optimally size the solar PV systems generally ignore power quality criteria during the initial design phase. This paper fills this gap by presenting a novel Genetic Algorithm (GA) based strategy to design a stand-alone solar PV system featuring optimal system size with conformance to power quality standards. MATLAB/Simulink environment was used to develop a detailed model of solar PV system, including a robust control mechanism for maximum power …

Reducing Modem Power Consumption While In An Out-Of-Service Condition By Synchronizing Network Scanning And Sim Polling, Edison Chen Jan 2023

Reducing Modem Power Consumption While In An Out-Of-Service Condition By Synchronizing Network Scanning And Sim Polling, Edison Chen

Defensive Publications Series

A user equipment (UE) employs a Universal Integrated Circuit Card (UICC) suspend algorithm when the UE is in an out-of-service (OOS) condition. When a modem of the UE exits an OOS sleep mode and enters an active mode (sometimes referred to as “waking up”) for network signal scanning, the UE modem also sends a polling message (e.g., a status report) to one or more UICC Subscriber Identity Modules (SIMs) of the UE. In some cases, the UE modem also negotiates a polling interval with the one or more SIMs. By synchronizing the sending of the polling message with the exiting …

Perspectives on Early Childhood Psychology and Education

Children’s social and emotional experiences influence brain development and are therefore central to outcomes of behavior, learning, and health. The current study examined associations between children’s cumulative educational assets in the early grades and end of first grade social-emotional outcomes for children from English- and Spanish-speaking families. Data were drawn from a sample of preschool-aged children (N = 1,132) from low-income families in a large, culturally, and linguistically diverse sample followed annually from pre-kindergarten through first grade. A multi-method, multi-informant approach was used to assess predictor and outcome variables. Results indicate overall that cumulative experiences of educational assets (teacher-student interaction …

Understanding Factors Related To The Development Of Obesity Among Preschoolers And The Importance Of Promoting Physical Activity Early In Life, Cheryl Maykel, Jessica S. Reinhardt Jan 2023

Understanding Factors Related To The Development Of Obesity Among Preschoolers And The Importance Of Promoting Physical Activity Early In Life, Cheryl Maykel, Jessica S. Reinhardt

Perspectives on Early Childhood Psychology and Education

It is known that most children do not engage in the recommended amount of physical activity on a daily basis and that physical activity is inversely related to overweight status. Various physical and mental health concerns have been associated with overweight status. Conversely, various physical, mental, and cognitive health benefits have been associated with increased physical activity. While there is some evidence to suggest that the trend in overweight status may be leveling off, the rate of occurrence is still high (Hales et al., 2017). In addition, young children continue to fail to meet the recommendations for daily physical activity …

Sugarcoated History: Turning The Spotlight On "Woke" Books To Expand The Narrative, Marguerite Penick, Katrena Leininger, Chelsea Faase

The Reading Professor

Opponents of books in schools that depict racial and LBGTQ+ histories and narratives argue that education should be raceless and avoid political advocacy. These sentiments are succeeding in states across the country. The result of their success is the loss of an empowering and comprehensive education for all the children in the United States. Educators, who are well informed on the diverse histories of our nation and are armed with a plethora of well-written and factually sourced information, are prepared to face rampant misinformation and culture war rhetoric in our society today.
