Depending on the building architecture, usage, and energy consumption patterns, over US$ 60 billion was expended annually on electric lighting in commercial buildings. Therefore, the paper focuses on the development of energy-efficient buildings that minimize energy consumption through integrated energy-efficient design processes. This can serve as a practical guide to design buildings that can lower the energy requirements and a strategy to reduce energy consumption. In this study, predictive analytics were used to examine how blinds, daylighting, and geyser temperature settings can reduce electricity consumption and pricing patterns. A panel of expert judges was used to validate the 5-point Likert scale residential electricity load management questionnaire used to gather survey data for the statistical analysis in a Windhoek suburb, Namibia. The main goal of this study was to investigate how blinds, day-lighting, and geyser temperature settings can be used to save energy, reduce electricity consumption, and costs for sustainable growth and development. The results from this investigation indicate a perfect Gaussian histogram of 15 electricity price jumps confirming 15 four-way stepwise interaction effects. Optimal 0.5 Quetelet curve index offers average citizen energy efficiency awareness, education, and behavior modification for affordable electricity. Females generally set hotter geyser temperatures and are higher energy consumers. Blinds reduce electricity consumption by 50% in summer, 25% in winter, and day-lighting by 25%. These were the least cost and optimal solutions to the rising electricity consumption and pricing patterns problem. Adopting the findings or the outcomes of this paper could provide more optimal and sustainable energy consumption thereby reducing pressure on the power grid.
根据建筑结构、用途和能源消耗模式,每年在商业建筑的电气照明上的支出超过600亿美元。因此,本文的重点是开发节能建筑,通过集成的节能设计过程将能耗降至最低。这可以作为设计能够降低能源需求的建筑的实用指南和减少能源消耗的策略。在这项研究中,预测分析被用于研究百叶窗、采光和间歇泉温度设置如何降低电力消耗和定价模式。一个专家法官小组被用来验证5点Likert量表住宅电力负荷管理问卷,该问卷用于收集调查数据,用于纳米比亚温得和克郊区的统计分析。这项研究的主要目标是研究如何使用百叶窗、日间照明和间歇泉温度设置来节省能源、减少电力消耗以及可持续增长和发展的成本。这项调查的结果表明,15个电价跳跃的完美高斯直方图证实了15个四向逐步相互作用效应。最佳0.5 Quetelet曲线指数提供了普通公民对负担得起的电力的能效意识、教育和行为调整。雌性通常设定更高的间歇泉温度,是更高的能源消耗者。百叶窗在夏季可减少50%的电力消耗,在冬季可减少25%,白天照明可减少25%。这些是解决不断增长的电力消耗和定价模式问题的成本最低且最优的解决方案。采用本文的发现或结果可以提供更优化和可持续的能源消耗,从而减轻电网压力。

The popularity of the Internet has given birth to e-commerce and promoted the development of logistics industry. Traditional logistics is frail in personal information confidentiality, and it is easy to leak privacy information in the process of logistics. This paper briefly introduced the channels of privacy information disclosure in the process of e-commerce logistics and the privacy information encryption system based on two-dimensional code. Then, the privacy protective effect of the system was tested on the laboratory server. The results showed that mobile terminals with different permissions only obtained some necessary logistics information within their respective permissions in the normal process; the mobile terminals distinguished two-dimensional codes that did not belong to express mails, and only meaningless error codes were obtained after the mobile terminal without permissions scanned the code in the abnormal process. In conclusion, the encryption technology of personal information based on two-dimensional code can effectively protect the privacy information in the process of logistics.
互联网的普及催生了电子商务,促进了物流业的发展。传统物流的个人信息保密性较弱,在物流过程中容易泄露隐私信息。本文简要介绍了电子商务物流过程中隐私信息泄露的渠道以及基于二维码的隐私信息加密系统。然后,在实验室服务器上测试了系统的隐私保护效果。结果表明,不同权限的移动终端在正常过程中仅获得了各自权限范围内的一些必要的物流信息;移动端识别不属于快递邮件的二维码,在异常过程中,无权限的移动端扫描二维码后得到的都是无意义的错误码。综上所述,基于二维码的个人信息加密技术可以有效地保护物流过程中的隐私信息。

The ever-increasing electricity consumption patterns worldwide and the very many drivers of load growth have placed heavy burdens on new and existing power supply infrastructures, globally. The measurement of standards of living based on the quantity and quality of electricity consumed has further exacerbated power systems transmission network problems. Software validation of optimal bidirectional composite conductor designs, which carry very high currents at high temperatures, vertically and horizontally in tandem, attempt to provide solutions to the above problems. Composites comprising a conductor and insulating material strips in which the density approaches the minimum conducting area and satisfies Laplace's equation was considered. The variational problem was homogenized and polyconvexified using Lagrange multipliers and Green's identity, while the Hessian was used to relax the minimized characteristic function for convexification. The results indicate materials and costs optimization. Both the horizontal and vertical currents were equal, without hotspots or irregular power transfer problems in the composite conductor matrix. The vertical and horizontal gradients along the composite were equal and optimal, and their respective directions of highest change were uniform along their lines of equal energy. The conductor materials occupied about two-thirds area of composite. The high-temperature low-sag cable is light in weight, strong, and bendable. Its larger diameter reduces corona effects, which makes it useful for voltages beyond 300 kV and can minimize the incidence of power blackouts, globally.
摘要-全球不断增长的电力消费模式和负载增长的许多驱动因素给全球新的和现有的电力供应基础设施带来了沉重的负担。以用电量的数量和质量来衡量生活水平,进一步加剧了电力系统和输电网络的问题。最佳双向复合导体设计的软件验证,在高温下,垂直和水平串联携带非常大的电流,试图为上述问题提供解决方案。考虑由导体和绝缘材料条组成的复合材料,其密度接近最小导电面积并满足拉普拉斯方程。利用拉格朗日乘子和格林恒等式对变分问题进行齐次化和多凸化,并利用Hessian松弛最小化特征函数进行凸化。结果表明,材料和成本的优化。在复合导体矩阵中,水平和垂直电流相等,没有热点和不规则的功率传输问题。垂直梯度和水平梯度沿复合材料方向相等且最优,其最大变化方向沿等能量线一致。导体材料约占复合材料面积的三分之二。高温低垂电缆重量轻、强度高、可弯曲。其较大的直径减少了电晕效应,这使得它在超过300千伏的电压下很有用,并且可以最大限度地减少全球停电的发生率。

In spite of the numerous advantages of employing free space optical (FSO) communication systems as viable complementary platforms for next-generation networks, the presence of atmospheric disturbances such as fog and scintillations are major sources of signal impairment which degrade system performance. Consequently, it becomes imperative to investigate and contextualize the unique climatic conditions in those locations where FSO links are to be deployed. Statistical evaluation of meteorological visibility data collected for various cities in South Africa is thus hereby employed in estimating the availability performance of FSO links transmitting at both 850 nm and 1550 nm. It is determined that the cities of Mbombela and Cape Town have the lowest performance due to the high occurrence of fog events as compared to other regions in South Africa. During foggy periods, FSO links in Mbombela and Cape Town would have availabilities of ∼99.6% for link distances of 500 and 600 metres, respectively. The bit error rate (BER) estimations of intensity modulation and direct detection (IM/DD) FSO links in the presence of weak atmospheric turbulence were also investigated for the identified locations during foggy weather; with the cities of Mafikeng and Kimberley showing the lowest BER performances because of their high wind velocities, altitudes and refractive index values. In order to obtain a BER of 10−6, receive signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) values ranging from ~46 to ~51 dB are required for FSO links deployed for data transmission in the various cities investigated in this work.
 摘要——尽管使用自由空间光学(FSO)通信系统作为下一代网络的可行补充平台具有许多优点,但雾和闪烁等大气扰动的存在是降低系统性能的信号损伤的主要来源。因此,必须调查和了解FSO链路部署地点的独特气候条件。因此,在估计在850nm和1550nm下传输的FSO链路的可用性性能时,采用了对南非各个城市收集的气象能见度数据的统计评估。据确定,与南非其他地区相比,由于雾事件发生率高,姆本贝拉和开普敦的表现最低。在雾期,对于500米和600米的链路距离,Mbombela和开普敦的FSO链路的可用性分别为~99.6%。在弱大气湍流存在的情况下,还研究了雾天气期间识别位置的强度调制和直接检测(IM/DD)FSO链路的误码率(BER)估计;马菲肯和金伯利城市由于其高风速、高海拔和折射率值而显示出最低的BER性能。为了获得10-6的BER,在本工作中调查的各个城市中,部署用于数据传输的FSO链路需要范围从~46到~51dB的接收信噪比(SNR)值。

This study explores the influence of assessment on student approaches to learning through the voice of the student. The aim is to understand how assessment practices in an engineering school shape how students respond through their learning approaches and behaviors. The study is framed using a learning-oriented assessment paradigm. Focus groups were conducted with second-, third- and fourth-year engineering students. Four groups were formed using academic performance as a sampling criterion. The findings are presented using selected emergent themes and rich, narrative descriptions. A range of expected and unexpected student responses to assessment practices is highlighted. These are discussed in the context of the assessment literature to provide insight into the relationship between assessment and learning. The study confirms the importance of constructive alignment in assessment design, and includes specific findings related to tutorials, assignments, feedback, and group work. The study reveals that assessment is a powerful driver of learning, and highlights the need for a more collaborative teaching and learning environment to shift learning in a positive direction.

Ethics in engineering education 4.0: The educator's perspective 工程教育4.0中的伦理学:教育者的视角
IF 1.4 Q4 ENGINEERING, ELECTRICAL & ELECTRONIC Pub Date : 2021-11-01
Bronwyn Swartz
The advent of the fourth industrial revolution (4IR) has had an all-pervasive influence on virtually every aspect of high-quality manufacturing and associated services. Consequently, it triggered increasing industry demand to drive technological transformation. By implication, this propelled transformation in the requirements of Higher Education (HE) during the process of training engineers, towards more blended or online modes of delivery. A common concern from commentators has been “What are the ethical implications of using technology when teaching engineering students”. The objective of this paper is to expand on a previously published literature study which theoretically examined the extent to which ethics has been considered during the process of training engineers in contemporary times. In this follow-up study, a survey research instrument (n=68) which included eight likert scale questions and ten open-ended questions, was used to empirically explore three ethical dilemmas which emerged during the precursor study. The ethical dilemmas are (1) the unintended negative consequences of using technology; (2) discrimination as a result of the use of technology and (3) educator agency in the Engineering Education 4.0, at a University of Technology (UoT) in South Africa. Ethical clearance to do this research was secured through institutional channels. The findings of this study were consistent with findings of the precursor study and the recommendation of this study is that a series of workshops be held to develop ethics guidelines and establish ethical best practices to assist engineering educators to assure the quality of online engineering education, avoid discrimination, protect the privacy of both students and educators and reinforce the integrity of online engineering assessments.
第四次工业革命(4IR)的出现对高质量制造业和相关服务的几乎每一个方面都产生了无处不在的影响。因此,它引发了不断增长的行业需求,以推动技术转型。言下之意,在培训工程师的过程中,这推动了高等教育(HE)需求的转变,向更混合或在线的交付模式转变。评论家们普遍关心的一个问题是“在教工程学生时使用技术的道德含义是什么”。本文的目的是扩展先前发表的一项文献研究,该研究从理论上考察了当代工程师培训过程中对道德的考虑程度。在这项后续研究中,使用了一种调查研究工具(n=68),其中包括8个likert量表问题和10个开放式问题,以实证方式探索在前一研究中出现的三个伦理困境。伦理困境是:(1)使用技术的意外负面后果;(2) (3)南非科技大学工程教育4.0中的教育机构。进行这项研究的伦理许可是通过机构渠道获得的。本研究的结果与前一项研究的结果一致,本研究的建议是举办一系列研讨会,制定道德准则并制定道德最佳实践,以帮助工程教育工作者确保在线工程教育的质量,避免歧视,保护学生和教育工作者的隐私,并加强在线工程评估的完整性。
