However, a lack of common standards used by different cloud providers and the complexity of cloud resource distribution and orchestration often lead to an excess in resource pool allocation and overall inefficiencies. This complexity percolates throughout the cloud service industry and is the real hindrance to the use of the utility service model especially in healthcare organizations, which are expected to provide new and improved patient care capabilities using cloud resources. In this paper, a single cloud unit for metering all resources relating to the delivery of cloud computing is developed and implemented. This unit represents the summation of weighted components (network, compute, storage, power, facilities, etc.) used in the delivery of a cloud service. Performance results observed in the actual implementation of an enterprise cloud showed that the proposed unit provides an easy to use tool for comparing CSP services, and can lead to increased efficiency and manageability of resource usage in an enterprise.","PeriodicalId":178502,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC2015)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114753156","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}

To study this link, we have conducted a household survey and observational study on food consumption patterns, household and intra-household dietary diversity and nutritional status in 164 dairy farm households in Ethiopia. Using the FAO dietary diversity questionnaire, all food items consumed by the husband, the wife, an adult boy, an adult girl and a child under five (when available) was recorded. The study reveals that milk market participant households have high level of dairy production, household income, dietary diversity and nutritional status of young children. On one hand, the study indicate that there is no significant difference between market participant and non-participant households on animal source food consumption in general and milk consumption in particular, despite the significant milk production difference. On the other hand, it indicates a positive relationship between household milk market participation, household and intra-household dietary diversity and child nutritional status. We argue that housheold milk market participation has a potential to improve housheold food and nutritional security in Ethiopia.","PeriodicalId":178502,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC2015)","volume":"6 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130043966","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}

While the cost of switching and transmission lines is shared across hundreds or thousands of subscribers, this advantage diminishes at the edge of the network where the cost must be borne by fewer and ultimately individual subscribers. In power grids today a similar situation exists. The Last-mile Problem was resolved when the cost of cellular telephones was reduced by integrating functions and components into silicon circuits and when African entrepreneurs found novel financial models to enable even the poorest to acquire a cell phone. Using parallel principles to provide energy where the infrastructure and the required capital investment do not exist, the self-forming nano-grid project discussed in this paper can start from a single photovoltaic (PV) panel and battery each with attached inverters yet scale up to tens of kilowatts. This system also incorporates load management in a power distribution panel to set priority for load shedding to keep critical loads powered in the face of minimal generation and no conventional grid resources.","PeriodicalId":178502,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC2015)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132250387","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}

Its purpose is to be used by people who have reduced mobility; the idea came from a person that has locomotion difficulties. The chair makes easy access to inner environments such as domestic places, commercial areas, among others, easier and smoother, offering the users more security, comfortable, independence and freedom. The maintenance is extremely easy to do and the whole system was developed with a low cost. It attends to an extensive range of users in denser areas full of resource, like regions which have low population and also problems to access. The project is based on a conventional chair used in offices that was equipped with mechanical and electrical systems which make possible its movement in any direction as well as to turn three hundred sixty. When compared with a conventional wheelchair, this new model presents height adjustment motorized to the seat, making better the accessibility of users in high places. There is the possibility to adjust the seat of the chair to match the height of other movable equipment, making the displacement of the user more comfortable and safer. The proposal of the project came from the need to produce a more dynamic and accessible equipment to help people realize simple tasks, to help them do jobs that are not possible for those who use the conventional wheelchair. At the same time we cared to make the system be accessible to the population in general. The system was thought and developed by the students of the technical course of Mechatronics by Pronatec in the University Center UNA for integrating work. The students had support of the PARAMEC group from the Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) and currently has support of SIGHT PUC-MINAS as well.","PeriodicalId":178502,"journal":{"name":"2015 IEEE Canada International Humanitarian Technology Conference (IHTC2015)","volume":"32 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2015-09-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"125391366","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}
