In several developing countries, the electricity crisis obstructs both socioeconomic and technological sustainable evolution. Also, it leads to reducing job availability due to shut down several industries or relocate to neighbouring countries to such an issue. A Najaf City is an important holy and tourist city in the middle of Iraq country. Indeed, waste management in An Najaf City needs to be reconsidered to be used as an energy source. In this article, we investigated and listed the waste quantity which produced recently (one year) respect to waste types and types of content. Data collected from the waste products for one year and are used as a key factor to study the feasibility of generating electrical energy from collected MSWs. The proposed model was simulated and tested respect to cost analysis factor of the suggested power plant by Homer pro simulation software. Results were very encouraging and competitive to the current energy production cost based on the production cost of the Kwh prospective among the conventional methods in Iraq. The proposed scenario provide proper and secure waste proposal technique with low-cost.
This article represents results of an unbiased, factual, and scientifically valid analysis
of all available data on ecological, economic, and social indicators of energy
technologies and of how they influence sustainable development indicators. It marks out
indicators characterizing the impact of energy technologies on the environment providing
specific values to all energy sources considered (coal, gas, hydro, wind, solar, and
nuclear). The article demonstrates that renewable energy sources and nuclear power are
characterized by the best ecological indicators. The article also reveals that the most
efficient energy technologies for promoting sustainable development are natural gas and
nuclear power.

Synopsis:
The energy system has historically been characterised as “mature”, displaying small, incremental technological improvements and low levels of both public and private research intensity. However, over the past decade this situation has been changing, illustrated by significiant increases in public and private energy R&D expenditure across many countries in reaction to strengthening concerns around fossil fuel prices, climate change and energy security. These challenges have driven the search for alternative sources of energy, as well as more efficient ways of extracting and consuming fossil fuels. As support grows for energy innovation so too does the need to understand how energy innovation unfolds with a view to ensure that the vast public and private resources currently being committed to innovation in this sector are being deployed effectively.
In this context the talk outlines the Energy Strategy Fellowship’s current research project, which seeks to map out systems of energy innovation for a range of countries and technologies, measure the effectiveness of these different arrangements and compare different approaches with a view to learning lessons for successful energy research and innovation policy. Following a discussion of the drivers that have led to this renaissance in energy innovation and the project’s research objectives, the talk introduces the different technology and country case studies under examination, the methods employed and some of the innovation theory that underpins this research. Finally, the talk explores some emerging issues in the field of energy technology innovation the project engages with, such as the globalised nature of energy innovation, the role of the private sector and energy innovation outside ‘Western’ countries.

How do measure our progress in a journey towards continuous integration? What are other people doing?
This presentation provides an measuring stick for CD Maturity and simple pattern for reviewing your current situation and deciding what to work on next.
Watch the recorded version of this Webinar here:
Curious about Continuous Integration? Tune in!
Continuous Integration (CI), which is a big part of continuous delivery, is the concept of continuously building and testing software using an automated process. We have learned that utilizing CI could help us catch bugs earlier, enable better visibility, reduce repetitive processes, enable the development team to produce deployable products at a moment's notice, and reduce risk overall.
These slides will identify the various levels of continuous integration and delivery with regards to a release maturity of the development team or parent organization.
HBase release managers Lars Hofhansl, Andrew Purtell, Enis Soztutar, Michael Stack, and Liyin Tang jointly present highlights from their releases, and take your questions throughout.
The Phoenix Project DevOps Simulation - Paul WilkinsonPink Elephant
ncorporating DevOps – The Phoenix Project Simulation
Businesses are demanding ever shorter release cycles for new applications. Traditionally ‘Operations’ is seen as a barrier with lengthy bureaucratic controls and delays in provisioning production systems. DevOps is a growing movement for shortening development and deployment and integrating Development and Operations. However, this requires a mind-set shift, new behaviours and a cultural shift in both Development and Operations. Traditionally suspicious of each other, they must now work closely together. Yet many companies are struggling to adopt and deploy DevOps and how to change the culture.
The “Phoenix Project” Simulation game is based upon The Phoenix Project. Parts Unlimited is in trouble. Newspaper reports reveal the poor financial performance of the organisation. The only way forward to not only save the company but to make it competitive and profitable is “The Phoenix Project” which represents an IT enabled business transformation, with Retail Operations as the business owner of this project. The VP of IT Operations is asked to take the lead of the IT department and ensure that “The Phoenix Project” will be a success. But the VP of IT Operations is facing a tremendous amount of work. A huge backlog of issues, features and projects. Are you up for the challenge…?
In an increasingly competitive marketplace, speed and business agility are paramount. And integration between customer-facing systems and back-end applications is more crucial than ever.
At this event, you'll learn how open source software built by communities, like Apache Camel, Docker, Kubernetes, OpenShift Origin, and Fabric8, can help organizations integrate services and establish effective continuous integration and delivery (CI/CD) pipelines.
DevOps and Continuous Delivery reference architectures for DockerSonatype
People want to understand how to architect continuous delivery and DevOps environments using containerized applications and artifacts. We assembled this deck to represent best practices across a number of different organizations. These may look like the tool chains and infrastructure that you have built or would like to build.
The 7 Duties of Great Software ProfessionalsJurgen Appelo
Some call it "craftsmanship", others prefer to speak of maturity, competence, excellence or skill. No matter what you call it, the software development community is in need of people with a professional attitude towards their work. From self-motivation to goal setting, from connecting with peers to delegating work, there are a number of crucial behaviors that software testers and developers need to adopt to be able to call themselves "professionals".

#First_India_NewsPaper
In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.
