Variability of behaviour in electricity load profile clustering: who does things at the same time each day?
UK electricity market changes provide opportunities to alter
households' electricity usage patterns for the benet of the overall electricity network. Work on clustering similar households has concentrated on daily load proles and the variability in regular household behaviours has not been considered. Those households with most variability in reg-
ular activities may be the most receptive to incentives to change timing. Whether using the variability of regular behaviour allows the creation of more consistent groupings of households is investigated and compared with daily load prole clustering. 204 UK households are analysed to nd
repeating patterns (motifs). Variability in the time of the motif is used as the basis for clustering households. Dierent clustering algorithms are assessed by the consistency of the results.
Findings show that variability of behaviour, using motifs, provides more consistent groupings of households across dierent clustering algorithms and allows for more ecient targeting of behaviour change interventions

Displaced Nasal Dilator Caused Severe Pain: Case Report and Literature Review
Internal nasal dilators are widely used but have not been reported to cause severe symptoms. We describe a case in which a male adult had accidentally, during sleep, inhaled a nasal dilator into his right nasal cavity, and we review the relevant literature. A PubMed search was performed of nasal dilators, especially of the internal types, including “Nasaline Snooze'” (ENTPro, Stockholm, Sweden). A foreign body in adults may be an inhaled nasal dilator. It may be overlooked on computed tomography scans, and thorough inspection of the nose is diagnostic
