Abstract
The aim of this paper is to propose a recommendation system that considers users functionality levels regarding physical or psychological limitations. This paper describes a set of models and algorithms used under a tourism recommendation system based in users and points-of-interest (POI) profiles. Also, this proposal considers a different manner to classify POI including their accessibility levels, mapped with similar physical and psychological issues. In this study, based on the Design Science Research methodology, an architecture is proposed and a touristic recommendation system prototype where users are modelled with new types of information in addition to traditional approaches such as their levels of functionality regarding a set of physical and intellectual issues, is also presented. POIs are also modelled with the same information structure and maintain knowledge on their limitations against some health conditions.

Abstract
Atmospheric profiling is a requirement for controlling wide-field adaptive optics (AO) instruments, analysing the AO performance with respect to the observing conditions and predicting the point spread function (PSF) spatial variations. We present PEPITO, a new concept for profiling atmospheric turbulence from post facto tip-tilt (TT) corrected shortexposure images. PEPITO utilizes the anisokinetism effect in the images between several stars separated from a reference star, and then produces the profile estimation using a model-fitting methodology, by fitting to the long-exposure TT-corrected PSF. PEPITO has a high sensitivity to bothC2 n(h) and L0(h) by relying on the full telescope aperture and a large field of view(FOV). It then obtains a high vertical resolution (1-400 m) configurable by the camera pixel scale, taking advantage of fast statistical convergence (of the order of tens of seconds). With only a short-exposure capable large format detector and a numerical complexity independent of the telescope diameter, PEPITO perfectly suits accurate profiling for night optical turbulence site characterization or AO instruments operations. We demonstrate, in simulation, that the C2 n(h) and L0(h) can be estimated to better than 1 per cent accuracy, from fitted PSFs of magnitude V = 11 on a D = 0.5m telescope with a 10 arcmin FOV.

Abstract
The rapidly increasing penetration of electric vehicles in modern metropolises has been witnessed during the past decade, inspired by financial subsidies as well as public awareness of climate change and environment protection. Integrating charging facilities, especially high-power chargers in fast charging stations, into power distribution systems remarkably alters the traditional load flow pattern, and thus imposes great challenges on the operation of distribution network in which controllable resources are rare. On the other hand, provided with appropriate incentives, the energy storage capability of electric vehicle offers a unique opportunity to facilitate the integration of distributed wind and solar power generation into power distribution system. The above trends call for thorough investigation and research on the interdependence between transportation system and power distribution system. This paper conducts a comprehensive survey on this line of research. The basic models of transportation system and power distribution system are introduced, especially the user equilibrium model, which describes the vehicular flow on each road segment and is not familiar to the readers in power system community. The modelling of interdependence across thetwo systems is highlighted. Taking into account such interdependence, applications ranging from long-term planning to short-term operation are reviewed with emphasis on comparing the description of traffic-power interdependence. Finally, an outlook of prospective directions and key technologies in future research is summarized.

Abstract
This paper aims to describe the main outcomes of the ADMS4LV project which stands for Advanced Distribution Management System for Active Management of LV Grids. ADMS4LV targets the development and demonstration of a framework with adequate tools to optimize the management and operation of Low Voltage (LV) networks towards the effective implementation of Smart Grids. This work details the main functionalities of ADMS4LV and discusses their implementation. The validation of the functionalities is presented from demonstrations in a laboratorial setup, namely regarding the algorithms which using advanced data analytics, accomplish to operate LV networks with low observability, (i.e., with few real-time measurements) and without having full knowledge of the networks' technical characteristics, such as the consumers' phase connection to the grid. The assessment of the results shows the adequacy of the ADMS4LV solutions for deployment in distribution networks with current infrastructures, differing unnecessary investments in sensory devices. © 2019 IEEE.
