Mauritius suffers from chronic water shortages that can severely impact its economy and the well-being of its population. Both surface and groundwater availability are determined by rainfall, which is in turn influenced by large-scale circulation patterns such as the El Niño Southern Oscillation (ENSO) and the Indian Ocean Dipole (IOD). Here we report on the influence of these two teleconnection patterns and present the result of a simple neural network for precipitation forecasting, based on the state of ENSO and IOD. Data from the Vacaos station, for the period 1961 to 2012 is used. We found statistically significant correlation between average winter rainfall and ENSO and IOD indices. The correlation for summer was negligible. The prediction of summer precipitation was less accurate than that of winter precipitation. The findings from this study can help in more efficient planning and management of water resources on the island.

The global use of the internet has improved the growth of the educational sector over the years, while electronic assessments have turn out to be one of the major tools in the development of both non-academic and academic establishments. The effective assessment of a student is mostly perceived as one of the foremost challenges that is frequently experienced during online examination in that it can be very difficult to provide accurate user authentication. The requirement to secure and authenticate a user during e-assessments owing to the high rate of misconduct has led to the proposal of this research. The purpose is to examine potential threats to student authentication during e-assessments and propose a framework which uses a bi-modal authentication approach to provide successful authentication during e-assessment. In implementing this approach, we propose a framework that provides security to improve e-assessments by introducing authentication classifiers to demonstrate its application in biometrics technologies. The proposed model was evaluated based on set of thresholds using Accuracy, FAR and FRR as performance metrics. the proposed model gave a high accuracy of 94.52%. The single-modal model of keystrokes had percentage accuracy of 92.025% and face had percentage accuracy of 92.58%. This implies that the bimodal model integrating keystrokes and face outperforms the single-modal model of keystrokes and single-modal model of face respectively. The study concludes that the proposed model contributes to existing works on e-assessment systems by integrating keystrokes and face bimodal biometric to optimally minimize fraud and impersonation thereby providing accurate authentication of a user.

Creating decentralized energy supply systems, there arises the task of providing consumers with electric energy, the parameters of which satisfy the necessary requirements. This problem is especially acute when developing systems based on non-traditional sources using the mechanical energy of renewable natural resources. Taking into account the probabilistic nature of their changes, as well as the significant interaction with each other, the choice of operating modes, types and parameters of energy storage devices for such systems becomes quite a complex and ambiguous task of innovative technologies. The article is devoted to the solution of the problem of developing technical solutions for conjugation of various renewable energy sources ensuring guaranteed electricity supply to autonomous consumers and increasing the energy efficiency of such a system as a whole.

Traditionally, for a radial low-voltage (LV) distribution network serving residential loads, it was simpler for the electric utility to predict the demand and adjust the generation from power plants accordingly, thus offering a high reliability of supply. However, with the increasing penetration of photovoltaics (PV) on rooftops of residential houses, it has become difficult to ensure the same reliability without the performance of the distribution network being affected. At times of low loads in residential houses, PV systems will inject power upstream of the host LV network and affect the behavior of the distribution network. In this paper, an LV distribution feeder in Mauritius has been modelled on DigSILENT Power Factory software to simulate how the network performance is affected under high PV penetration. Novel indices were developed for analyzing grid behavior in terms of maximum voltage variation from nominal value, average feeder loading, feeder losses, and transformer reserve. These performance indices were evaluated against three different voltage control strategies of PV inverters in order to choose the best one which will optimize the performance of the network. Furthermore, variations in the loads and PV generation over a 24-hour period were also considered in the performance analysis of the grid.
传统上，对于服务于居民负荷的径向低压配电网，电力公司更容易预测需求并相应地调整发电厂的发电量，从而提供高可靠性的供电。然而，随着光伏在住宅屋顶上的普及，在不影响配电网性能的情况下保证相同的可靠性变得越来越困难。在住宅低负荷时，光伏系统将向主机低压电网上游注入电力，影响配电网的行为。本文采用DigSILENT Power Factory软件对毛里求斯的低压配电馈线进行建模，以模拟高光伏渗透率下网络性能的影响。开发了新的指标来分析电网行为的最大电压变化从标称值，平均馈线负荷，馈线损耗和变压器储备。针对三种不同的电压控制策略对这些性能指标进行了评估，以选择最优的电压控制策略来优化电网的性能。此外，在电网性能分析中也考虑了24小时内负荷和光伏发电的变化。

In residential buildings, various factors often have a significant impact on a building’s energy consumption. This paper aims to utilize various existing models to evaluate the sensitivity and influence of each of these factors on the building’s energy usage. The factors considered include: average temperature, heating degree days (HDD), cooling degree days (CDD), number of workdays, number of nonworkdays and building occupancy. The models considered were: linear two variable and multivariable regression, exponential regression and polynomial regression. The data used for the modeling was that of the energy usage of all the residences of a South African University, during the 2017 academic year. The results of this study revealed that the models developed using polynomial regression produced coefficient of determination (R2 ) values ranging from 0.7 to 0.89 in the case of temperature and occupancy, and 0.39-0.69 in the case of workdays and non-workdays, which were the highest model accuracies when compared to those of other models. Analysis of the results also revealed that certain factors such as building occupancy had a greater correlation to the building energy usage. The final model developed (A linear multivariable regression model) achieved an R2 value of 0.95 indicating the model’s high accuracy in predicting the dependent variable (energy consumption) using the factors indicated as independent variables to the model.

Due to the high cost of fuel and as unfavourable weather conditions which have affected power generation in Ghana, the country has experienced power crises for the past seven years. Renewable Energy Resources (RES) like wind and solar are being considered by many countries as alternatives for the energy requirements of the country. Ghana’s Energy Commission’s (EC) report in October, 2017 indicated that, RE contributes 2MW of power to the country’s energy mix, representing about 1.73% of the total installed capacity. However, the current EC’s energy policy has projected 600MW power through RE in 2030. 340 MW from solar and 260 MW from wind energies. The then Ministry of Energy through the Energy Commission started the rooftop PV programme implementation in early 2016 in some government institutions. The main aim of the rooftop programme was to produce about 200 MW maximum load respite on the national grid as a medium term programme through PV solar technology. However, RE and grid integration has various issues and challenges, large scale RE power generation are mainly connected to the transmission systems and small-scale generation are mostly linked with the distribution system. Direct integration these systems poses a lot of challenges and issues. This paper examines the main issues and proposes some probable solutions for future RE generations and integration.

The prospects of achieving a trillion connected internet of things (IoT) devices by 2020 has created the urgency for effective intrusion detection systems (IDS) for these devices. Although it has been argued that the most effective technique used in such systems is anomaly detection, there exist no mechanisms to determine their performance in real-life deployment. In this paper, we report the results of applying asymptotic analysis to evaluate the performance of an anomaly detection algorithm which is designed using logic reasoning through fuzzy logic methodologies. In order to achieve this, the IDS was included as part of intrusion detection software for ZigBee Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs). In particular, the solution is targeted to address the ZigBee protocol’s vulnerability to flood attacks during node discovery and association to the network. The intrusion detection software is hosted external to the WSNs in pursue of a light solution mindful of resource preservation in sensor nodes.

The purpose of this article is to analyze the power of WeChat and question ourselves on the hypothetical expansion. We discovered WeChat by living in China. For us, it is an application which gather everything. It is Instagram, Facebook, Twitter in just one app. But since we are living in a world with so many differences and different laws, we want to know if this app can really encounter the same success in different countries. WeChat has a big place in the life of Chinese people and this is something which is very interesting. Everything is around this app. The payment method, the social life and the way of interacting with people in general. We decided to split our study in three parts in order to answer the problematic.
