EcoBlock: Grid Impacts, Scaling, and Resilience
Widespread deployment of EcoBlocks has the potential to transform today's electricity system into one that is more resilient, flexible, efficient and sustainable. In this vision, the system will consist of self- su cient, renewable-powered, block-scale entities that can deliberately adjust their net power exchange and can optimize performance, maintain stability, support each other, or disconnect entirely from the grid as needed. This report is intended as an independent analysis of the potential relationships, both constructive and adverse, between EcoBlocks and the grid
“A Comparative study to assess the knowledge and attitude towards mental illness among adults of urban and rural area of Kheda District, Gujarat.”
Mental illness has always been significant challenge and is becoming more and more relevant in today’s fast paced world. According to the world Health organization Mental Health is “a state of well being in which the individual realizes his or her own abilities, can cope with the normal stresses of life, can work productively and fruitfully and is able to make a contribution to his or her community.” Whereas mental illness refers collectively to health conditions involving significant changes in emotion, thinking or behavior or a combination of there and associated with distress and/or problems function in social work or family activities. There is a misconception that people with mental illness are violent, which contributes to the significant of mental illness. Material and Method: A Quantitative non-experimental, comparative approach used in this research study. Sample size for the present study was consisting of 100 adults. The instrument used for the data collection is self structured knowledge questionnaire and Likert scale for attitude questionnaire. The data analysis was done by using descriptive and inferential statistical in terms of mean, mean percentage, standard deviation and chi square. Result: The result revealed that, In knowledge regarding mental illness urban adults (mean=10.38) have more knowledge as compare to rural adults (mean=6.04) and In attitude regarding mental illness urban adults (mean=43.66) have more attitude as compare to rural adults (mean=30.42). Conclusion: The study concluded that Urban adults have more knowledge as compare to Rural adults. Urban adults have more positive attitude as compare to rural adults

Applications of Time Synchronized Measurements in the Electric Grid
Increased real-time monitoring of the electric grid is vital to meet the burgeoning challenges posed by load growth and diversification, renewable generation integration, extreme weather events, and cyber attacks. Grid operators must have situational awareness---an understanding of the system's evolving state---if they are to respond appropriately to challenging and changing system conditions. The proliferation of measurement devices in the electric grid is critical for situational awareness, but is not sufficient: measurements need to be converted to actionable insight to be useful. Here, computational tools that ingest measurements to infer system parameters and state are critical. While many such tools have been proposed in the research literature, their real-world use is limited, resulting in a circumstance where ballooning volumes of measurements are perceived as overwhelming rather than insightful, diminishing the incentive for further sensor deployments.This thesis argues for the creation of usable tools to bridge the chasm between research and deployment. Usable tools have practically realizable data input requirements and---in their forms and outputs---work in effective collaboration with human users. Such tools are well-suited to the demands of real grids, where data and prior knowledge remain scarce, and where safety critical decisions involve human participants.The thesis goes on to describe several usable tool algorithms for the use cases of topology estimation and monitoring, event detection, and event classification. Finally, it presents broad principles for the further development of usable tools.Throughout, the thesis emphasizes how high resolution, time synchronized measurements are particularly enabling for the creation of usable tools
