Taking care notebook’s battery

Typically, all notebook batteries are built to handle a certain number of usage cycles, around 500, and often more. Each cycle of use decreases the battery’s capacity, so the less you drain it, the longer it’ll last.

If you leave your battery plugged in for long time it will cause heating issue. Letting a battery charge to 100 percent all the time does tend to wear the battery out more quickly, while letting it fall too lower in the other direction too often can also be bad news. The happy middle ground is, according to Battery University funder and Cadex Electronics CEO Isidor Buchmann, is somewhere between 40 percent and 80 percent battery life.

So the best thing you can do for your battery is charge when it reaches 40 percent, and unplug it when it goes past 80 percent.

The best rechargeable battery size AA

wpid-20150928_102551.jpg

According to metaefficient.com the best rechargeable AA batteries:

  • The best energy capacity (2550 mAh) — get the Eneloop Pro
  • The maximum recharge capacity (2100 times) — get the 4th Generation Panasonic Eneloops
  • To save some money and don’t mind a little less performance from your batteries — get the Imedion by Maha

I’m using Eneloop by Panasonic (code BK-3MCCE) 1.2V 1900mAh. The price is RM41.00 for 2 batteries. You can use it for maximum 1500 times of recharging.

Agent-Based Modeling (ABM)

Agent

Conceptually, in ABM you give instructions to virtual agents that allow the agents to interact. Agents can be animals, tanks, parcels, delivery trucks, or any discrete object. From the resulting decisions and actions of the agents, patterns are created in space and time. Unlike many other modeling techniques that quantify and then re-create the patterns, agent-based models explore the causes of the patterns; the patterns are emergent properties from the individual decisions of the agents.

Agent-based modeling, combined with spatial data, allows you to address a wide array of problems such as the following:

  • Developing corridor connectivity networks for wildlife movement
  • Anticipating potential terrorist attacks
  • Analyzing traffic congestion or producing evacuation strategies
  • Planning for the potential spread of disease such as bird or swine flu
  • Understanding land-use change
  • Optimizing timber tract cutting
  • Exploring energy flow on electrical networks
  • Performing crime analysis to deter future impact

Many phenomena or agents exist and make decisions in, and relative to, space. The location of an agent and its surrounding environment will influence the agent’s decision making. The agent can influence or change the landscape it interacts with. A GIS is a spatial modeling tool that stores, displays, and analyzes data on spatial relationships. A natural synergy exists between ABM and a GIS. Agent Analyst is free, open-source software developed to integrate an ABM development platform—the Recursive Porous Agent Simulation Toolkit (Repast)—within a GIS (ArcGIS). Agent Analyst is a mid-level integration that takes advantage of both modeling environments.
