چکیده

In the BiodiversityWorld project we are building a GRID to support scientific biodiversity-related research. The requirements associated with such a GRID are somewhat different from other GRIDs, and this has influenced the architecture that we have developed. In this paper we outline these requirements, most notably the need to interoperate over a diverse set of legacy databases and applications in an environment that supports effective resource discovery and use of these resources in complex workflows. Our architecture provides an invocation model that is usable over a wide range of resource types and underlying GRID middleware. However, there is a trade-off between the flexibility provided by our architecture and its performance. We discuss how this affects the inclusion of computationally intensive applications and applications that are highly interactive; we also consider the broader issue of interoperation with other GRIDs.

Grid-price-dependent Energy Management of a Building Supplied by a Multisource System Integrated with Hydrogen

This paper studies power management in a grid-tied hybrid energy system consisting of photovoltaic array, wind turbine, fuel cell, electrolyzer, hydrogen storage tank and a combinational heating system to supply the thermal and electrical demand of a building. Moreover, the hybrid system is capable of exchanging power with local grid. Thus, variable daily buying and selling tariffs are also tak...

Testing the Efficacy of Global Biodiversity Hotspots for Insect Conservation: The Case of South African Katydids

The use of endemism and vascular plants only for biodiversity hotspot delineation has long been contested. Few studies have focused on the efficacy of global biodiversity hotspots for the conservation of insects, an important, abundant, and often ignored component of biodiversity. We aimed to test five alternative diversity measures for hotspot delineation and examine the efficacy of biodiversi...
