DEVELOPMENT OF A MULTI-DESTINATION TRAVEL “ROUTE PLANNING” APPLICATION

Voltage dip is a power quality problem that occurs the most frequently in the Provincial Electricity Authority (PEA) power system and impacts the industry's sensitive load. This paper presents a photovoltaic (PV) farm converter control as a static synchronous compensator (STATCOM), supplying dynamic reactive power for voltage dip mitigation and the industry's failure load reduction near the PV farm. The PV farm's power system and the industry connect with the 22 kV distribution system of Bang Phra khru substation (BPH) in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya Province. A case study simulated on the DIgSILENT PowerFactory software and converter control as STATCOM operated in two modes: full STATCOM mode and partial STATCOM mode is presented. The distribution system data has been collected from the Geographic Information System (GIS). The voltage dip event data, caused by a single line to ground fault on other feeder and affected sensitive load, received from disturbance analyzer. The results of both STATCOM modes demonstrated an increased voltage value in the standard range of PEA. The partial STATCOM mode showed the voltage value better than the full STATCOM mode. As a result, PEA should improve the grid code determined the PV farm installed near the industry's sensitive load had to support dynamic power.

Career and Job Satisfaction

Water Supply and Sanitation has been a priority of Government of Nepal. Various types of urban and rural water supply and sanitation projects are now being implemented within the Government, private and NGO sectors. The normal practice of measurement of satisfaction by service providers is to measure consumers’ satisfaction on past performance. The survey design could vary from survey questions to unstructured interviews and everything in between using comparative and non-comparative scales. In comparative scaling, the respondents are asked to compare one product against the other while non-comparative scaling is used to evaluate a single product. In this study, Likert Scales is used in this study for measurement of customer satisfaction on water supply. The higher level of satisfaction with water supply is expected to be positively related to several factors such as satisfaction with water quality, and other parameters such as hours and timings of water supply, tap pressure, quantity of water supplied, responsiveness and communication of management and water tariff. The respondents’ level of satisfaction indicates that about 41 percent of respondents were neutral, they were neither satisfied nor dissatisfied with water services, while about 36 percent of respondents were satisfied with water services. The satisfaction scale of overall satisfaction with water services was 3.29 while 1.0 indicates strongly not satisfied while 5.0 indicate strongly satisfied. The various aspects that influence satisfaction among users which include hours and timings of water supply, tap pressure, quantity of water supplied, responsiveness and communication of management and water tariff as well as redresses of customer complaints have been examined. This study focused on the users’ satisfaction of Lekhnath small town water supply and sanitation project and the study was undertaken to analyze the current users’ satisfaction of the Lekhnath small town water supply and sanitation project. The result showed that the satisfaction level of users’ is above neutral but these were not in satisfying level. The characteristics/aspects of the service that contributed to users’ satisfaction including hours and timing, pressure, quantity and quality of water while there was slightly less satisfaction with regard to complaints about water supply.

Is there a crisis about crisis houses?

With the advent of digital reference, the outsourcing of a portion of public service is now possible, enabling libraries to offer more hours of service at a lower cost with little awareness on the part of users. Since fall 2003, librarians at Southeastern Louisiana University have teamed up with librarians employed by a partner library and/or Tutor.com's Librarians By Request to provide a 24/7 digital reference service. A comparative analysis of digital reference transcripts and user satisfaction surveys indicates that external librarians can provide good digital reference service with a high level of user satisfaction.

High levels of service user satisfaction are viewed as a reliable indicator of a service providing good care and treatment. There has been limited research looking into levels of satisfaction in forensic mental health settings with most work focused on staff satisfaction in these settings. This study examined service users' levels of satisfaction with a forensic mental health service in the United Kingdom. The service covered two sites; one a purpose-built secure unit and the other based in an old cottage hospital. Thirty-nine in-patients completed a 60-item validated forensic satisfaction scale. The scale measured seven domains of satisfaction as well as reporting an overall satisfaction score. The results indicated the service users were reasonably satisfied with the care and treatment they received. The domains of rehabilitation, safety, staff interaction and overall care showed the highest level of satisfaction. The high rehabilitation satisfaction score demonstrated the importance of meaningful activities for users accessing forensic services and may have been influenced by the security measures on the wards. The high safety domain score indicated respondents felt safe and secure within the wards and were likely to be influenced by positive interpersonal interactions. Good staff interaction was also an important factor in helping service users feel safe on the wards. These interactions are likely to be associated with longer periods of admission in secure services allowing therapeutic relationships to develop. Financial advice/support was the one domain that recorded negative satisfaction levels. Financial literacy training may help develop money management skills.

Higher education institutions' wireless networks have different roles and network requirements, ranging from educational platforms and informative consultations. Currently, the inefficient use of network resources, poor wireless planning, and other factors, affect having a robust and stable network platform. Different authors have investigated the various strategies for the optimization of wireless infrastructures. Still, most of the cases studied aim to improve traditional performance variables without considering maximizing the level of user satisfaction, which represents a flaw that this research paper hopes to solve through SDWN and a predictive model. The authors will determine an appropriate methodology to estimate the user's level of satisfaction through an algorithm or predictive model based on nonlinear multiple regression supported on network performance variables, making a characterization of the project's environment analyzing the wireless conditions. The investigation phases will follow the life cycle guidelines defined by the Cisco PPDIOO methodology (Prepare, Plan, Design, Implement, Operate, Optimize). As a result, it is expected that the project will be the beginning of academic research that will help create strategies to optimize the WiFi network of any educational institution to maximize user satisfaction. In short, the optimization process provides the network with differentiating factors through a modular design with variable modification of parameters according to the users' requirements and needs.

Green algae are photoautotrophic and photoheterotrophic microorganisms that are capable of lipid production. This study aims to isolate green algae from food industrial wastewater in Phra Nakhon Si Ayutthaya province. Thirty isolates of green algae were isolated from wastewater of four food industrial plants. Lipid content under cultivated cells in N-deprivation Tris Acetate Phosphate TAP(-N) medium was measured in order to select the green algae that had the highest lipid production. The results found that among 30 green algal strains, the green alga Asteracys sp. FFP40 showed the highest lipid content of 2.884±0.064 % (w/w) under cultivated cells in TAP(-N) medium for 3 days. During photoheterotrophic cultivation in TAP medium, Asteracys sp. FFP40 was rapidly grown to the stationary growth phase after 48h. The biomass of Asteracys sp. FFP40 was continuously increased and reached to 0.966±0.115 mg ml-1 after 120h of cultivation. Finally, Asteracys sp. FFP40 also provided the highest lipid content of 58.446±0.652 % (w/w) under cultivated cells in TAP(-N) medium for 28 days. These results indicated that Asteracys sp. FFP40 could be a source of highly efficient lipid production for biodiesel evolution in the future.

Heterogeneous wireless access networks (HWAN) will create a market for the delivery of an extensive collection of novel and attractive services and contents. Accounting and pricing the ubiquitous services will play a key role from both service providers and users point of view. By one hand, wireless service providers (WSP) look for the maximum revenue and utilization rate and by other hand users will select service providers depending on the offered price and the Quality of Service (QoS) assurance. In such a market-based scenario, accounting will become an effective tool that satisfies the users' service demands and maximizes the revenue of the providers. For WSP is of vital importance to define a charging and accounting architecture that supports fast and easy the provision of existent and new services with the best quality. In this sense, a dynamical network selection mechanism has to be developed to decide an appropriate radio access cell or technology for a specific service. Additionally, service providers must consider alternative solutions to situations where the best quality for the requested service cannot be provided, allowing them maintaining a high user satisfaction level. In this paper we propose a simple QoS-based dynamic pricing approach for services provisioning into a heterogeneous wireless access networks environment which attempts to increase user's satisfaction level by firstly, maximizing the provided QoS level, and secondly, by applying dynamic pricing strategies according to the QoS. These strategies will allow service providers to maximize their profits. Simulations results demonstrate that the proposed dynamic pricing approach benefits both users and WSP. Results suggest that users have better overall satisfaction due to a better QoS level and fairer prices. The analysis shows that our proposed pricing approach helps increasing WSPs profits compared to the application of the flat-rate pricing model into a competitive market-model.

Mass customization should be more than just configuring a specific component (hardware or software), but should be seen as the co-design of an entire system, including services, experiences and human satisfaction at the individual as well as at the community level. The main objective of this chapter is to introduce a framework, smartTag, for the dynamic reconstruction of Web content based on human factors. Human factors and users’ characteristics play the most important role during the entire design and implementation of the framework which has the inherent ability to interact with its environment and the user and transparently adapt its behaviour using intelligent techniques, reaching high levels of usability, user satisfaction, effectiveness and quality of service presentation. The initial results of the evaluation have proven that the proposed framework do not degrade the efficiency (in terms of speed and accuracy) during the Web content adaptation process as well as increases users’ satisfaction and efficiency of information processing (both in terms of accuracy and task completion time), while users navigating in the personalized condition rather than the original one.

As people’s living standards improve, tourism has become an important way for people to spend their time on leisure and entertainment. The growing number of tourists in recent years has given rise to the creation of tourism-related ancillary services. Travelers need to choose a travel route that suits their needs and expectations and do it in a way that does not cause a waste of time, whether it is an emerging self-driving tour or a traditional tour group. Therefore, the optimization of tourist routes is of great significance to the majority of tourists. Given the planning requirements of tourist attractions in the post-epidemic era, an ant colony-based optimization algorithm is proposed to resolve the planning problem of optimal tourist routes. An optimized pheromone update strategy is also proposed based on the basic ant colony optimization algorithm. The optimized ant colony algorithm tries to balance two conflicting concepts, namely, flows into tourist attractions and the carrying capacity of destinations. To analyze the performance of the proposed optimization algorithm, the effects of different optimization algorithms on the route planning of tourist attractions were compared in the experiment, and the acceleration ratio of the optimized ant colony algorithm was tested using the graphics processing unit parallel computing program. The results show that the proposed algorithm provides certain advantages and has certain potential in parallel computing. To sum up, this study provides a better scientific basis for optimal tourist route planning and has a good reference value.
