Residential electricity customers are charged based on energy (kWh) usage alone, while commercial customers pay for both energy and peak demand (kW). Alliant Energy determines commercial demand charges as the highest 15-minute demand in a billing period or 75% of the highest summer demand, whichever is greater. While homes are paid retail rates of 8-40 cents per kWh for energy they produce, the "avoided cost" rate utilities pay for power from small generators is only 2-3 cents per kWh. Net metering and feed-in tariff policies determine how energy production is valued and credited for residential solar customers.
The document summarizes renewable energy developments in Italy. It notes that in 2016 renewables achieved a 17.4% share of gross final energy consumption, exceeding Italy's 2020 target of 17%. Electricity has seen the largest growth of renewables, driven by incentives that have declined over time but still resulted in an incentive burden of €12.5 billion in 2017, over half for photovoltaics. The national strategy aims to increase the renewables share of electricity consumption to 55% by 2030, requiring significant further growth of solar and wind power. Renewables have also grown in heating, achieving an 18.9% share in 2016 mainly from biomass and heat pumps.

Acetylcholine is the first neurotransmitter discovered. It acts at autonomic ganglia, autonomically innervated organs, the neuromuscular junction, and many CNS synapses. Acetylcholine is involved in functions like pain conduction, REM sleep regulation, and learning and memory formation. Dopamine helps control reward and pleasure centers in the brain and regulates movement and emotion. Dopamine deficiency causes Parkinson's disease while low dopamine can increase addiction risk. Dopamine is also involved in functions like movement, memory, reward, behavior, attention, sleep, mood, and learning.

RETOOLING NIGERIAS ELECTRICITY GENERATION SUB – SYSTEM FOR SUSTAINABLE GRID O...Najeem Olawale Adelakun
ABSTRACT
Experts are varied in estimating the amount of power needed for national development. One expert
estimated 297,900 MW by the year 2030 using a 13 percent Gross Domestic Product (GDP). The Power
Sector Road Map’s aspiration is 40,000 MW by the year 2020 while the preferred Vision 20:2020 target is
40GW (40,000 MW) available capacity. Vision 20:2020 further proposed that hydro sources contribute 10%
of this value; thermal, 80%; coal, 6% and renewables, 4%. However, as at December 2017, Nigeria’s total
installed generating capacity was 12,324.40 MW. In order to assess the fundamentals and proffer solutions
for the improvement of power generation to meet popular expectations, this work analyses the installed
capacities of the nation from 1986 – 1995, on the one hand and from 2007 – 2016, on the other hand using
graphical illustrations and tables. The gap between the two time phases was deliberate to create some effect.
The results show that over the years, there has been an apparent, non – challance towards systematic
development of Nigeria’s power sector. To put a check to this deteriorating condition / trend, useful
suggestions have been made

The document summarizes the benefits of industrial demand response programs in Chile's electricity market. It finds that demand response from Chile's large mining industry could reduce system costs in two ways:
1) By allowing mining companies to lower electricity consumption during periods of high prices, reducing the need for expensive peak generation capacity.
2) Providing an incentive-based demand bidding program, where mines are paid for committing to reduce load when prices exceed their bid, could save $140 million over 15 years while deferring some coal plant investments. Demand response provides mining companies income from the spot market and helps offset rising electricity costs.

Microbial characterisation and identification, and potability of River Kuywa ...Open Access Research Paper
Water contamination is one of the major causes of water borne diseases worldwide. In Kenya, approximately 43% of people lack access to potable water due to human contamination. River Kuywa water is currently experiencing contamination due to human activities. Its water is widely used for domestic, agricultural, industrial and recreational purposes. This study aimed at characterizing bacteria and fungi in river Kuywa water. Water samples were randomly collected from four sites of the river: site A (Matisi), site B (Ngwelo), site C (Nzoia water pump) and site D (Chalicha), during the dry season (January-March 2018) and wet season (April-July 2018) and were transported to Maseno University Microbiology and plant pathology laboratory for analysis. The characterization and identification of bacteria and fungi were carried out using standard microbiological techniques. Nine bacterial genera and three fungi were identified from Kuywa river water. Clostridium spp., Staphylococcus spp., Enterobacter spp., Streptococcus spp., E. coli, Klebsiella spp., Shigella spp., Proteus spp. and Salmonella spp. Fungi were Fusarium oxysporum, Aspergillus flavus complex and Penicillium species. Wet season recorded highest bacterial and fungal counts (6.61-7.66 and 3.83-6.75cfu/ml) respectively. The results indicated that the river Kuywa water is polluted and therefore unsafe for human consumption before treatment. It is therefore recommended that the communities to ensure that they boil water especially for drinking.

Water polluted by dyestuffs compounds is a global threat to health and the environment; accordingly, we prepared a green novel sorbent chemical and Physical system from an algae, chitosan and chitosan nanoparticle and impregnated with algae with chitosan nanocomposite for the sorption of Malachite green dye from water. The algae with chitosan nanocomposite by a simple method and used as a recyclable and effective adsorbent for the removal of malachite green dye from aqueous solutions. Algae, chitosan, chitosan nanoparticle and algae with chitosan nanocomposite were characterized using different physicochemical methods. The functional groups and chemical compounds found in algae, chitosan, chitosan algae, chitosan nanoparticle, and chitosan nanoparticle with algae were identified using FTIR, SEM, and TGADTA/DTG techniques. The optimal adsorption conditions, different dosages, pH and Temperature the amount of algae with chitosan nanocomposite were determined. At optimized conditions and the batch equilibrium studies more than 99% of the dye was removed. The adsorption process data matched well kinetics showed that the reaction order for dye varied with pseudo-first order and pseudo-second order. Furthermore, the maximum adsorption capacity of the algae with chitosan nanocomposite toward malachite green dye reached as high as 15.5mg/g, respectively. Finally, multiple times reusing of algae with chitosan nanocomposite and removing dye from a real wastewater has made it a promising and attractive option for further practical applications.

Improving the viability of probiotics by encapsulation methods for developmen...Open Access Research Paper
The popularity of functional foods among scientists and common people has been increasing day by day. Awareness and modernization make the consumer think better regarding food and nutrition. Now a day’s individual knows very well about the relation between food consumption and disease prevalence. Humans have a diversity of microbes in the gut that together form the gut microflora. Probiotics are the health-promoting live microbial cells improve host health through gut and brain connection and fighting against harmful bacteria. Bifidobacterium and Lactobacillus are the two bacterial genera which are considered to be probiotic. These good bacteria are facing challenges of viability. There are so many factors such as sensitivity to heat, pH, acidity, osmotic effect, mechanical shear, chemical components, freezing and storage time as well which affects the viability of probiotics in the dairy food matrix as well as in the gut. Multiple efforts have been done in the past and ongoing in present for these beneficial microbial population stability until their destination in the gut. One of a useful technique known as microencapsulation makes the probiotic effective in the diversified conditions and maintain these microbe’s community to the optimum level for achieving targeted benefits. Dairy products are found to be an ideal vehicle for probiotic incorporation. It has been seen that the encapsulated microbial cells show higher viability than the free cells in different processing and storage conditions as well as against bile salts in the gut. They make the food functional when incorporated, without affecting the product sensory characteristics.
Optimizing Post Remediation Groundwater Performance with Enhanced Microbiolog...Joshua Orris
Results of geophysics and pneumatic injection pilot tests during 2003 – 2007 yielded significant positive results for injection delivery design and contaminant mass treatment, resulting in permanent shut-down of an existing groundwater Pump & Treat system.
Accessible source areas were subsequently removed (2011) by soil excavation and treated with the placement of Emulsified Vegetable Oil EVO and zero-valent iron ZVI to accelerate treatment of impacted groundwater in overburden and weathered fractured bedrock. Post pilot test and post remediation groundwater monitoring has included analyses of CVOCs, organic fatty acids, dissolved gases and QuantArray® -Chlor to quantify key microorganisms (e.g., Dehalococcoides, Dehalobacter, etc.) and functional genes (e.g., vinyl chloride reductase, methane monooxygenase, etc.) to assess potential for reductive dechlorination and aerobic cometabolism of CVOCs.
In 2022, the first commercial application of MetaArray™ was performed at the site. MetaArray™ utilizes statistical analysis, such as principal component analysis and multivariate analysis to provide evidence that reductive dechlorination is active or even that it is slowing. This creates actionable data allowing users to save money by making important site management decisions earlier.
The results of the MetaArray™ analysis’ support vector machine (SVM) identified groundwater monitoring wells with a 80% confidence that were characterized as either Limited for Reductive Decholorination or had a High Reductive Reduction Dechlorination potential. The results of MetaArray™ will be used to further optimize the site’s post remediation monitoring program for monitored natural attenuation.
