Consumers losing electricity supply due to constraints on electrical power utilities is very common in developing countries. In this paper, the technical and economic feasibility of using solar photovoltaics (PV) as a grid independent backup power source (which can match the existing consumer load profiles) is investigated. A system design methodology that takes into account the seasonal variation in load profiles is developed based on load analysis, PVGIS (Photovoltaic Geographic Information System) pre-sizing and PVsyst system performance simulations. This paper presents a case study that involves system design based on residential loads and weather conditions of a specific area. The technical and economic performances of a backup system, a grid-connected system, and a standalone system with scheduled load are compared. Impact of shading, a common uncertainty which affects the technical performance of PV systems, on the backup system is also investigated. Results demonstrate the trade-offs in providing solar PV backup power for load matching.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115085798","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Training and evaluation of persons with mental retardation has many challenges. The most significant challenges are the identification of an appropriate vocational opportunity, suitable work environment and assessing the person's readiness to be trained for a job. The work environment is treated as four types such as comprehensively sheltered employment, sheltered employment, partially sheltered employment and open work employment. The Job readiness of the person is assessed using a graded vocational test and dexterity assessment and a vocational profile is created for each individual. Job analysis is done by breaking the job into major tasks and sub tasks. The tool automatically matches a suitable job (or a major task of a job) by normalizing the requirement of a job (or a major task) vis-à-vis to the strength and needs of an individual by correlating the job requirement with the strength of the person. It also provides a framework for baseline and term-wise evaluation of the progress of each individual.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"34 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117155965","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Science and technology has brought in many benefits over the years but we failed to see the environmental degradation that is happening due to anthropogenic activities. In recent times, there exists an enthusiasm in sustainable activities among people but its relationship with their day to day work is not that clear. Literature also shows high rates of awareness in the green IT. But the translation of awareness to practice is hardly limited to only 1/4th of the population of practioners. This paper attempts to explore this translation in terms of self-efficacy of an individual. The study attempts to understand the efficacy of the public towards Green IT practices. The study can help policy makers and managers understand the psychological feelings people associate to Green IT activities and rightly promote application of these activities. Thereby, increasing the translation from mere awareness of activities to implementing them as activities. Results suggest social persuasion largely affects the green IT self-efficacy of an individual followed by vicarious experience and emotional state. The results specify high importance on promotion of Green IT initiatives to lure people thereby initiating persuasion among individuals. Self-efficacy drives people to practice activities pertaining to it.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125466120","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to lack of appropriate or experienced teaching instructors in most of the institutions the standards of education and ethics in the education system are under serious threat. Such education system allows many students to practice unethical ways of pursuing an academic degree. Earlier awareness of research methodology and ethical issues were considered necessary only for research scholars doing PhD and was recently extended for post-graduation students as well. Government of India announced plagiarism as an academic fraud and unethical due to which the student or research scholar may attract punishment. In this paper, a study has been attempted to evaluate possible approaches to introduce a methodology in Indian education system whereby students going abroad or working in scientific research are protected from the academic code of conduct or copyright issues. A critical assessment was carried out on various imparting factors of education system. A decent procedure and adoptable ethical ways of teaching and training methodologies are being summarized in this paper.","PeriodicalId":104725,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE International Symposium on Technology and Society (ISTAS)","volume":"1 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"131873808","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
