Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution Reliability and Automation

Distribution reliability in electrical power systems is critical for ensuring an uninterrupted power supply to consumers at minimal cost. According to IEEE Standard Terms, reliability is the probability that a device will function without failure over a specified time period or amount of usage. For electric power distribution, this translates to maintaining continuous power supply and addressing customer concerns over power outages. Several indices, as defined by IEEE Standard 1366-2012, are...

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent Signaling

Contact-dependent signaling, as the name suggests, requires that communicating cells be in direct contact with each other. This is achieved either through receptor-ligand interactions or by specialized cytoplasmic channels that allow the flow of small molecules between cells. In animal cells, channels called gap junctions facilitate contact-dependent signaling in certain tissues, whereas, plasmodesmata perform a similar function in plants.
Gap Junctions
In animal cells, gap junctions are formed...

Short-distance Transport of Resources

Short-distance Transport of Resources

Short-distance transport refers to transport that occurs over a distance of just 2-3 cells, crossing the plasma membrane in the process. Small uncharged molecules, such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water, can diffuse across the plasma membrane on their own. In contrast, ions and larger molecules require the assistance of transport proteins due to their charge or size. Transport across membranes also occurs within individual cells, playing a variety of essential roles for the plant as a whole.

Distributed Loads

Distributed Loads

Distributed loads are a common type of load that engineers and scientists encounter in various practical situations. Distributed loads often refer to a type of load spread over a surface or a structure and can be modeled as continuous force per unit area.
For example, consider a bookshelf filled with books stacked vertically adjacent to each other. The weight of the books is evenly distributed over the length of the shelf. As a result, the pressure at different locations on the surface of the...

Distributed Loads: Problem Solving

Distributed Loads: Problem Solving

Beams are structural elements commonly employed in engineering applications requiring different load-carrying capacities. The first step in analyzing a beam under a distributed load is to simplify the problem by dividing the load into smaller regions, which allows one to consider each region separately and calculate the magnitude of the equivalent resultant load acting on each portion of the beam. The magnitude of the equivalent resultant load for each region can be determined by calculating...

Multimachine Stability

Multimachine Stability

Multimachine stability analysis is crucial for understanding the dynamics and stability of power systems with multiple synchronous machines. The objective is to solve the swing equations for a network of M machines connected to an N-bus power system.
In analyzing the system, the nodal equations represent the relationship between bus voltages, machine voltages, and machine currents. The nodal equation is given by:

Fault-Tolerant Computing

Background:

Opportunistic mobile clusters (smartphones, tablets) can perform demanding tasks in various settings.
Existing systems lack adaptability to runtime conditions and efficient reliability mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

To present Honeybee-DR, a delegator-centric framework for adaptive and reliable opportunistic mobile clusters.

Main Methods:

Implemented a delegator-centric framework with a dependency-management mechanism for runtime Directed Acyclic Graph (DAG) growth.
Introduced a lightweight reliability mechanism using adaptive trap jobs for worker validation.
Utilized an asymmetric, forgiving scoring rule for worker reliability assessment.

Main Results:

Honeybee-DR (Dynamic) reduced processing time by 17%, delegator energy by 21%, and peak memory by 30.5% on a 5-device testbed.
Achieved 99.5% accuracy in a face-detection workload with rogue workers, reducing validation overhead by 80.5% compared to majority-vote replication.

Conclusions:

Honeybee-DR effectively supports adaptive workflows and lightweight reliability in opportunistic mobile clusters.
The framework demonstrates significant performance and energy efficiency improvements over static counterparts.
Honeybee-DR offers a practical solution for demanding workloads in disaster response, field science, and ad-hoc multi-camera systems.
