IS security menace by Balozian, Puzant

“…Nevertheless, this manuscript challenges that notion and advances a stream of research that suggests increasing security measures may lead to decrease in user productivity, increased user mistrust in the IT department, increased user frustration, increased user technology avoidance, increased non-malicious volitional security violations and overall may lead to increased security risk, instead of decreasing it. …”

Dispatchable capacity optimization strategy for battery swapping and charging station aggregators to participate in grid operations by Mingze Zhang (9947863)

“…Extensive simulations and numerical results show that the BSCS aggregator with demand-side regulation capacity can increase its income by 59.05% and 36.78% on working and non-working days, respectively. Also, the aggregator does not worsen the original power load while meeting the EV swapping demand and can decrease the daily load fluctuations by 0.65% and 12.89%, reduce the peak–valley difference by 5.81% and 7.80%, and increase the load rate by 3.67% and 4.08% in working and non-working day situations through providing the dynamic dispatchable capacity for the grid.…”
