Redesigning Power Strip With Case Study: Security Information Use Of Products
There are 212 cases of fire from 2015-2018 that have occurred by electricity failure in Bandung City, those failures happen because of power strip misused by users. The power strip has a certain maximum electric current input from electric devices, misused happen when the electric devices that connect have exceeded the electrical current of the power strip. This situation can cause a fire because of the power strip overheat. From 50 user 68% of users do not know the maximum electric current that can be delivered by a certain power strip and 32% of users knowing the maximum electric current but do not know how to use it for everyday use. These research aims are to redesign security of use certain power strip, focus on user habit and user interface information.

Lunar nuclear power feasibility study
Based on review of literature and on limited examination of nuclear power systems now proposed for space applications, a nuclear fission reactor powered system should be seriously considered as the first large (order of 50 kWe or greater) power system to be placed on a lunar base. With relatively minor modifications, the major one being addition of a cooled side shield, the proposed 100 kWe product of the SP-100 Program could be adapted for use on a lunar base
Space station electrical power system availability study
ARINC Research Corporation performed a preliminary reliability, and maintainability (RAM) anlaysis of the NASA space station Electric Power Station (EPS). The analysis was performed using the ARINC Research developed UNIRAM RAM assessment methodology and software program. The analysis was performed in two phases: EPS modeling and EPS RAM assessment. The EPS was modeled in four parts: the insolar power generation system, the eclipse power generation system, the power management and distribution system (both ring and radial power distribution control unit (PDCU) architectures), and the power distribution to the inner keel PDCUs. The EPS RAM assessment was conducted in five steps: the use of UNIRAM to perform baseline EPS model analyses and to determine the orbital replacement unit (ORU) criticalities; the determination of EPS sensitivity to on-orbit spared of ORUs and the provision of an indication of which ORUs may need to be spared on-orbit; the determination of EPS sensitivity to changes in ORU reliability; the determination of the expected annual number of ORU failures; and the integration of the power generator system model results with the distribution system model results to assess the full EPS. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were made
Entanglement of mixed macroscopic superpositions: an entangling-power study
We investigate entanglement properties of a recently introduced class of
macroscopic quantum superpositions in two-mode mixed states. One of the tools
we use in order to infer the entanglement in this non-Gaussian class of states
is the power to entangle a qubit system. Our study reveals features which are
hidden in a standard approach to entanglement investigation based on the
uncertainty principle of the quadrature variables. We briefly describe the
experimental setup corresponding to our theoretical scenario and a suitable
modification of the protocol which makes our proposal realizable within the
current experimental capabilities.Comment: 9 pages, 7 figures, RevTeX

The Impact of Power Training on Balance and Visual Feedback Removal
Because power training has been known to augment stability, the purpose of this study was to assess whether the removal of visual input affects lower limb muscle power production in young women who are resistance trained to the same degree it affects the untrained. This provided insight as far as the need for resistance training protocols in a largely untrained visually impaired population. To study this, fourteen college-aged female participants (18-23 years) performed a seated double-leg press on a leg sled machine, isolating power production of the lower limbs. After establishing baselines, which involved finding an average of power produced during five trials, the subjects were asked to close their eyes for the following set of five pushes. The power production was assessed by utilizing a Tendo Unit, with placement on one of the limbs of the machine, to measure power output during leg extension (measured in Watts). Statistics analyzed in SPSS determined the average power deficit of the athletic population to be 11.57 Watts, whereas the general population had an average power deficit of 37.43 Watts. The deficits experienced by each respective group upon visual removal were significantly different from one another, as evidenced by a p-value of .048. This accentuated the power-trained group’s resilience. A suggested training plan regimen including cardiorespiratory, resistance, flexibility, and neuromotor exercises has been appended for persons experiencing visual impairment and seeking to better their balance through power
AEGIS: A Multi-wavelength Study of Spitzer Power-law Galaxies
This paper analyzes a sample of 489 Spitzer/IRAC sources in the Extended
Groth Strip whose spectral energy distributions fit a red power law from 3.6 to
8.0 \micron. The median for sources with known redshift is =1.6. Though all
or nearly all of the sample are likely to be active galactic nuclei, only 33%
were detected in the EGS X-ray survey (AEGIS-X) using 200 ks Chandra
observations. The detected sources are X-ray luminous with L_X > 10^43 erg/s
and moderately to heavily obscured with N_H > 10^22 cm^-2. Stacking the
X-ray-undetected sample members yields a statistically significant X-ray
signal, suggesting that they are on average more distant or more obscured than
sources with X-ray detections. The ratio of X-ray to mid-infrared fluxes
suggests that a substantial fraction of the sources undetected in X-rays are
obscured at the Compton-thick level, in contrast to the X-ray-detected sources,
all of which appear to be Compton-thin. For the X-ray-detected power-law
sources with redshifts, an X-ray luminosity L_X ~ 10^44 erg/s marks a
transition between low-luminosity, blue sources dominated by the host galaxy to
high-luminosity, red power-law sources dominated by nuclear activity.
X-ray-to-optical ratios, infrared variability, and 24 micron properties of the
sample are consistent with the identification of infrared power-law sources as
active nuclei, but a rough estimate is that only 22% of AGNs are selected by
the power law criteria. Comparison of the power-law selection technique and
various IRAC color criteria for identifying AGNs confirms that high-redshift
samples selected via simple IRAC colors may be heavily contaminated by
starlight-dominated objects.Comment: Accepted for publication in ApJ. Corrected figures 9, 12, 13, 15, 19,
