This paper proposes the design of a Smart Home Controller strategy providing efficient management of electric energy in a domestic environment. The problem is formalized as a binary linear programming problem, the output of which specifies the best time to run of Smart Household Appliances, under a Virtual Power Threshold constraint, taking into account the real power threshold and the forecast of consumption from not plannable loads. This problem formulation allows to analyze relevant scenarios from consumer and energy retailer point of view: here optimization of economic saving in case of multi-tariff contract and Demand Side Management have been discussed and simulated. Simulations have been performed on relevant test cases, based on real load profiles provided by the smart appliance manifacturer Electrolux S.p.A. and on energy tariffs suggested by the energy retailer Edison. Results provide a proof of concept about the consumers benefits coming from the use of local energy management systems and the relevance of automated Demand Side Management for the general target of efficient and cost effective operation of electric networks. © 2011 IEEE
Internet e i new media rappresentano un nuovo strumento potenzialmente alleato di chi vuole adescare minori per compiere reati sessuali. Gli studi epidemiologici disponibili confermano che il fenomeno č in crescita, cosě come il numero di arresti ad esso correlati, e che le vittime spesso agiscono consenzienti, consapevoli di comunicare con adulti estranei, mentre raramente parlano di ciň con gli adulti di riferimento (genitori/insegnanti). Il rischio di vittimizzazione cresce con l'etŕ della vittima e per le femmine. Strategie preventive efficaci devono comprendere non solo interventi normativi, ma anche programmi educativi volti ad aiutare gli adolescenti a costruire competenze che li rendano capaci di affrontare le esigenze ed i cambiamenti propri dell'etŕ evolutiva, in linea con il modello delle life skills proposto dall'OMS.
