Alexandra Hammond will share first-hand experience of implementing one of the largest and most complex energy performance contracts in the public sector and share the key learnings from the project that can be replicated across industry and the public sector.
Energy management to-date is far too complex. There are a lot of moving pieces, but the solutions available to help you manage them all just underscore the complexity at hand. Given this difficulty, it’s no wonder that energy remains a top-five cost item for organisations. Today’s technology, however, is taking the complex and difficult and making it simple and easy. And simple and easy energy management is translating to a stronger bottom line for businesses.
Simon will discuss the use of demand based ventilation controls in to save significant energy in commercial kitchens including areas such as applicability, savings potential, other benefits, operational considerations, measurement and verification and incorporating a number of real life case studies.

Diabetes is a rapidly and serious health problem in Pakistan. This chronic condition is associated with serious long-term complications, including higher risk of heart disease and stroke. Aggressive treatment of hypertension and hyperlipideamia can result in a substantial reduction in cardiovascular events in patients with diabetes 1. Consequently pharmacist-led diabetes cardiovascular risk (DCVR) clinics have been established in both primary and secondary care sites in NHS Lothian during the past five years. An audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery at the clinics was conducted in order to evaluate practice and to standardize the pharmacists’ documentation of outcomes. Pharmaceutical care issues (PCI) and patient details were collected both prospectively and retrospectively from three DCVR clinics. The PCI`s were categorized according to a triangularised system consisting of multiple categories. These were ‘checks’, ‘changes’ (‘change in drug therapy process’ and ‘change in drug therapy’), ‘drug therapy problems’ and ‘quality assurance descriptors’ (‘timer perspective’ and ‘degree of change’). A verified medication assessment tool (MAT) for patients with chronic cardiovascular disease was applied to the patients from one of the clinics. The tool was used to quantify PCI`s and pharmacist actions that were centered on implementing or enforcing clinical guideline standards. A database was developed to be used as an assessment tool and to standardize the documentation of achievement of outcomes. Feedback on the audit of the pharmaceutical care delivery and the database was received from the DCVR clinic pharmacist at a focus group meeting.

UNDERSTANDING WHAT GREEN WASHING IS!.pdfJulietMogola
Many companies today use green washing to lure the public into thinking they are conserving the environment but in real sense they are doing more harm. There have been such several cases from very big companies here in Kenya and also globally. This ranges from various sectors from manufacturing and goes to consumer products. Educating people on greenwashing will enable people to make better choices based on their analysis and not on what they see on marketing sites.
"Understanding the Carbon Cycle: Processes, Human Impacts, and Strategies for...MMariSelvam4
The carbon cycle is a critical component of Earth's environmental system, governing the movement and transformation of carbon through various reservoirs, including the atmosphere, oceans, soil, and living organisms. This complex cycle involves several key processes such as photosynthesis, respiration, decomposition, and carbon sequestration, each contributing to the regulation of carbon levels on the planet.
Human activities, particularly fossil fuel combustion and deforestation, have significantly altered the natural carbon cycle, leading to increased atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations and driving climate change. Understanding the intricacies of the carbon cycle is essential for assessing the impacts of these changes and developing effective mitigation strategies.
By studying the carbon cycle, scientists can identify carbon sources and sinks, measure carbon fluxes, and predict future trends. This knowledge is crucial for crafting policies aimed at reducing carbon emissions, enhancing carbon storage, and promoting sustainable practices. The carbon cycle's interplay with climate systems, ecosystems, and human activities underscores its importance in maintaining a stable and healthy planet.
In-depth exploration of the carbon cycle reveals the delicate balance required to sustain life and the urgent need to address anthropogenic influences. Through research, education, and policy, we can work towards restoring equilibrium in the carbon cycle and ensuring a sustainable future for generations to come.
Micro RNA genes and their likely influence in rice (Oryza sativa L.) dynamic ...Open Access Research Paper
Micro RNAs (miRNAs) are small non-coding RNAs molecules having approximately 18-25 nucleotides, they are present in both plants and animals genomes. MiRNAs have diverse spatial expression patterns and regulate various developmental metabolisms, stress responses and other physiological processes. The dynamic gene expression playing major roles in phenotypic differences in organisms are believed to be controlled by miRNAs. Mutations in regions of regulatory factors, such as miRNA genes or transcription factors (TF) necessitated by dynamic environmental factors or pathogen infections, have tremendous effects on structure and expression of genes. The resultant novel gene products presents potential explanations for constant evolving desirable traits that have long been bred using conventional means, biotechnology or genetic engineering. Rice grain quality, yield, disease tolerance, climate-resilience and palatability properties are not exceptional to miRN Asmutations effects. There are new insights courtesy of high-throughput sequencing and improved proteomic techniques that organisms’ complexity and adaptations are highly contributed by miRNAs containing regulatory networks. This article aims to expound on how rice miRNAs could be driving evolution of traits and highlight the latest miRNA research progress. Moreover, the review accentuates miRNAs grey areas to be addressed and gives recommendations for further studies.

energy-consumption-whitepaper-33.aspx
5.
6. Compressed air can typically account for 10% of an
industrial company’s electricity bill and for some
sectors it can equate to far more.
It therefore makes sense to take targeted action and
make your system more efficient.
Reducing compressed air waste will:
Save energy and costs
Improve reliability and productivity
7. Calculating the System’s Annual Cost.
• Option 1.
On & Off load running time when there is no demand for air.
Then you can estimate the energy consumptionof each
compressor.
• Option 2
A temporary more accurate and cost effective solution is to
install a data logging system over a period of at least seven
days.
• Option 3
To obtain actual electrical consumptionof the compressor(s)
in kilowatt hours (kWh) can be obtained by sub-metering the
compressorhouse.
Take a system approach
8. • A 75kW compressor operating at 7 bar.
• 2 shift pattern – 5 day week - 80 hours per week
• It is on load for 65% of the production time, which is 2,704 hours per year.
• The motor is assumed to be 90% efficient.
• Energy consumption of the compressor whilst on load =
• (75 ÷ 0.9) x 0.65 x 2,704 = 146,466 kWh/year
• There is also energy consumption from the offload running, assuming for a screw compressor
that a part-loaded running draws 25% of the full load power:
• (75 ÷ 0.9) x 0.35 x 0.25 x 1,456 = 10,616 kWh / year
• Total energy consumption of the compressor = 157,082 kWh
• For unit electricity of £0.12/kWh, the annual energy cost is £18,849.
• If production time is 8,320 hours per year, (346 days) this increases to £37,699/year.
A Costed Example
