Peer-to-Peer (P2P) energy sharing enables prosumers within a community microgrid to directly trade their local resources such as solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, small-scale wind turbines, electric vehicle battery storage among each other based on an agreed cost-sharing mechanism. This paper addresses the cost minimization problem associated with P2P smart homes which are connected in residentia...

this evaluation was undertaken to analyse the overall merit of studies for publication in medical journals. peer review, in which peer experts evaluate the value of a manuscript submitted to a professional journal, is regarded as a crucial step in publication. it helps to ensure that published articles describe experiments that focus on important issues and that the research is well designed an...

the research was aimed at finding out the effects of the implementation of writing feedback techniques and students’ writing anxiety on students’ writing ablity. experimental method of 3x2 factorial design was employed in the research. there were three experimental groups of students who were taught by using teacher feedback, peer feedback and the combination of peer and teacher feedback writin...

conclusions the results of this study suggested that parental monitoring and affiliation with deviant peers largely explained sexual risk taking among adolescents. therefore, prevention efforts aimed at reducing risky sex should compose of these factors. in fact, the results suggested that earlier prevention efforts may be warranted. results according to the results, about one-fifth of subjects...

Peer Instruction, a well-known student-centered teaching method, engages students during class through structured, frequent questioning and is often facilitated by classroom response systems. The central feature of any Peer Instruction class is a conceptual question designed to help resolve student misconceptions about subject matter. We provide students two opportunities to answer each questio...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) Data-sharing systems now generate a significant portion of Internet traffic. P2P systems have emerged as an accepted way to share enormous volumes of data. Needs for widely distributed information systems supporting virtual organizations have given rise to a new category of P2P systems called schema-based. In such systems each peer is a database management system in itself, e...

The changing role of dental hygienists deserves dental and dental hygiene educators' attention. The first aim of this survey study was to assess University of Michigan dental, dental hygiene, and graduate students' and faculty members' perceptions of dental hygienists' roles; their attitudes and behaviors related to clinical interactions between dental and dental hygiene students; and perceived...

Peer-to-peer (P2P) technology enables users to share resources (files or mobile codes) directly with each other instead of requiring a large-capacity server to store the files. However, there are several small-capacity servers called indexes in these networks that index information regarding which peer has what files. In this paper we conduct a performance analysis to obtain response time, jitt...

Deceptive voting behaviors of malicious users are known as the main reason of causing content pollution in Peer-to-Peer (P2P) content sharing systems. Due to the nature of P2P overlay network such as self-organization and anonymity, the existing methods on identifying deceptive votes are not effective, especially for collusive attackers. This paper presents Sorcery, a novel active challenge-res...

P2P networks have caught the imagination of the research community and application developers with their sheer scalability and fault-tolerance characteristics. However, only content-sharing applications based on the P2P concept have reached the desired level of maturity. The potential of the P2P concept for designing the next-generation of real-world distributed applications can be realized onl...
