Extending the Power Range of a Solar Inverter
2018
Solar inverters feature a minimum and maximum limit of the maximum power point voltage. Overcoming these limits leads to a disconnection of the power equipment, thus wasting the solar energy. In this paper, a solution to extend the power range of a solar inverter is presented. The proposed solution extends he minimum maximum power point limit of a commercial solar inverter by means of a battery energy storage system, including a DC/DC power converter. The battery energy storage system is connected in series to the photovoltaic module. If the photovoltaic module voltage drops below the minimum maximum power point limit, the battery energy storage system is enabled thus boosting the input vol…
Problem-Based Learning in Professional Studies from the Physiotherapy Students’ Perspective
2018
The aim of the study was to investigate how physiotherapy students using a problem-based learning approach develop into experts during higher education, and answers the question: How do physiotherapy students at bachelor’s level understand the problem-based learning approach while learning to become professionals? PBL is examined using interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA) of longitudinal data written by 15 voluntary students from two different higher education institutions and collected during 3.5 years. The main results on the new way of learning strengthen earlier conceptions of the importance of reflection in the learning process. The PBL method activates a reflection process b…
VegItaly: The Italian collaborative project for a national vegetation database
2012
Abstract Two years after its official start, the national vegetation database VegItaly, a collaborative project supported by the Italian scientific community and developed by a large group of scientists, is presented. This article offers a concise overview of the content of the database, currently consisting of 31,100 vegetation plot, including published and unpublished data. Some basic statistics are analysed; for example, data distribution in space and time, represented vegetation types expressed as physiognomic categories. Although rather young and still in progress, VegItaly already contains data from all the Italian regions and stands as an optimal candidate for the development of an I…
An Integrated Method for Image Retrieval
1995
This paper presents an information fusion method for image retrieval; the retrieval strategy is based on statistical and geometrical features extracted from sub-images. Our goal is to find a set of best similar images related to a prototype image; this goal may be obtained according to image content rather than symbolic attributes. MRI (Magnetic Resonance Imaging) images and astronomical images have been adopted to test the method. Main steps of the procedure to retrieve images are: (l) Segmentation, (2) Matching, and (3) Decision. The first step involves four clusters co-operating segmentation algorithms; in the matching step, a sets of candidate similar images is provided; finally an info…
Pašvaldību peldbaseini kā publiska lieta
2019
Nacionālajā tiesību vidē dominē dažādība viedokļos par pašvaldību peldbaseinu tiesisko statusu. Bakalaura darbs “Pašvaldību peldbaseini kā publiska lieta” ir līdz šim detalizētākais pētījums Latvijā, kas veltīts attiecīgajam tematam. Darba mērķis ir noskaidrot, vai peldbaseini, kurus pašvaldība, īstenojot valsts pārvaldes uzdevumus, nodod tās administratīvās teritorijas iedzīvotāju publiskai lietošanai, ir publiska lieta, un kādas tiesiskās sekas rodas, piešķirot peldbaseinam publiski tiesisku statusu. Lai sasniegtu bakalaura darba mērķi, tika veikta padziļināta publiskas lietas jēdziena analīze, vērtējot normatīvo regulējumu, izpētot nacionālo tiesu praksi publisko lietu tiesībās un analiz…
Pilvisovelluksille sopivia tietokannan hallintajärjestelmiä
2012
Tässä tutkielmassa on tarkoitus selvittää, millaisia vaatimuksia pilvisovelluksilla on tietokannan hallintajärjestelmille ja miten ehdotetut järjestelmät täyttävät nämä vaatimukset. Tutkimus suoritetaan kirjallisuuskatsauksena, joka perustuu tieteellisiin julkaisuihin ja tutkimusartikkeleihin.Aluksi käsitellään pilvimaailman käsitteitä, ominaisuuksia ja haasteita tietokannan hallintajärjestelmille. Viime vuosina on kehitetty lukuisia uusia pilvi-sovelluksille suunnattuja tietokantatuotteita, joista suurin osa kuuluu termin NoSQL alle. NoSQL-tietokantatuotteet eivät perustu relaatioihin, eivätkä käytä pelkästään SQL-kieltä tiedon käsittelemiseen. Nämä ovat pilviympäristössä horisontaalisesti…
IoT -based adversarial attack's effect on cloud data platform services in a smart building context
2020
IoT sensors and sensor networks are widely employed in businesses. The common problem is a remarkable number of IoT device transactions are unencrypted. Lack of correctly implemented and robust defense leaves the organization's IoT devices vulnerable to numerous cyber threats, such as adversarial and man-in-the-middle attacks or malware infections. A perpetrator can utilize adversarial examples when attacking machine learning (ML) models, such as convolutional neural networks (CNN) or deep neural networks (DNN) used, e.g., in DaaS cloud data platform service of smart buildings. DaaS cloud data platform's function in this study is to connect data from multiple IoT sensors, databases, private…
De participació local. Una proposta metodològica desde la investigació-acció-participativa
2018
Citizen participation is an increasingly prevalent term in our society. In the process of deployment in the municipal area, progressively local corporations make efforts to innovate practices and develop experiences of citizen participation in defining policies and public affairs, and allocating budgets. While innovation has been advanced with regard to the tools and mechanisms to be used to promote participation, many of the initiatives and experiences have focused more on the implementation of the vote than in the different social processes inherent in the participation. Moreover, we are faced with the absence of a methodological guide that allows approaching a project or strategic plan o…
Toward Sustainable PLA-Based Multilayer Complexes with Improved Barrier Properties
2019
Poly(lactic acid) or PLA is currently considered as one of the most promising substitutes of conventional plastics, with low environmental impact, especially for food packaging applications. Nevertheless, some drawbacks, such as high permeability to oxygen, are still limiting its industrial applications. The objective of this study was to highly increase the oxygen barrier performance of PLA without compromising its sustainable nature and following the principles of circular economy perspective. Coproducts coming from mill industries, such as wheat gluten proteins (WG), were used to produce PLA-WG-PLA multilayer complexes with improved barrier performance. Different technologies of industri…
