The document discusses the Watergy program, which aims to maximize energy and water efficiency. It does this by reducing losses in water distribution systems, as every gallon of lost water requires energy. Watergy projects involve assessing end uses, designing for efficiency, and identifying financing. Case studies show projects in South Africa and Pennsylvania that saved millions in costs and water through leak detection and pressure management. Barriers to adoption include a focus on water delivery over efficiency, lack of data and training, and financing challenges for water utilities.

Researching Fuel Poverty to Inform Policy and Practice
National Energy Action conducts research with academic institutions and practitioners to inform both policy and practice around issues of fuel poverty and cold-related health problems. Some key projects include a collaborative study of sustainability issues in high-rise social housing which identified challenges like low temperatures and poor insulation but also opportunities for partnerships to make improvements. NEA also evaluated Npower's Fuel Bank scheme, finding it effectively reached those in energy crisis but that most users required ongoing support, suggesting a need for follow up services to create longer term impacts. NEA aims to generate meaningful evidence through engagement with affected groups to identify barriers to change and help partners implement solutions to support vulnerable households.
Communicating Energy Vulnerability: The 'Energy Advice' organisation
(1) The document discusses a research project that aims to explore energy advice in formal, informal, and online contexts. (2) The research will use qualitative methods to study energy issues, expertise, and understandings of vulnerability from the perspective of energy advisors.

Fuel Poverty and Energy Justice in the UK Nations
This document discusses a study on fuel poverty and energy justice policy in the UK nations from 2012 to 2017. The study included documentary analysis and 35 interviews with government departments, regulators, consumer advocates, campaign groups, parliamentary committees, and firms. Emerging findings include that a change in the English definition of fuel poverty has not led to apparent divergence yet. Price regulation and energy prices are seen as more central issues in an era when schemes have addressed easier homes to treat. Concerns about distributional, procedural, and recognition justice relating to funding policy, technical focus, and austerity impacts were also found. The study examines expertise, empathy, and the fuel poverty policy system across public and private institutions and organizations.

Mecon Project Overview and Key Results (Myanmar)
The document discusses the MECON project which aims to identify opportunities and barriers for adopting energy efficient technologies for low-income households in the Greater Mekong Subregion before they become middle-income. It involved partners from various countries who used modeling to analyze energy consumption scenarios. The results showed energy efficiency could reduce residential energy consumption by 2-38% depending on the country and scenario. Highest potential was for lighting. Surveys found that while awareness of energy efficiency is growing, upfront cost remains a key barrier for low-income households.
Energy Poverty meets Climate Protection: An analysis of possible synergies fo...
This document discusses the relationship between energy poverty and climate protection policies in Germany. It notes that Germany has ambitious climate targets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions by 40% by 2020, 55% by 2030, 70% by 2040, and 80-95% by 2050 compared to 1990 levels. However, climate policies like renewable energy subsidies have led to rising electricity prices in Germany, the highest in Europe. This unequally burdens low-income households and can exacerbate energy poverty issues. The document argues that policies should consider these social impacts and seek synergies between alleviating energy poverty and climate protection goals through measures like increased energy efficiency.

Discussion 1 Ethics in Public BudgetingWhen it comes to the.docx
Discussion 1: Ethics in Public Budgeting
When it comes to the use of public funding, ethics count. Consider the ethical issues that arose for the Red Cross in 2002 after millions of dollars in public donations and funds were received in response to the request to help support victims and those affected by the 9/11 terrorist attacks. According to CBS Evening News:
News of this ethical breach caused a public outcry. Although these ethical funding issues were limited to the Red Cross, the entire nonprofit community felt the repercussions. Public donations dropped off sharply and the Red Cross had to convince the public that funds donated would be appropriately used in the future. In public agencies, similar ethical breaches may occur and, in turn, impact future budget funding requests.
For this Discussion, you select an article that features an ethical issue related to the use or misuse of funds by a company or organization. You also consider how a company or organization's misuse of funds can impact future budget funding requests.
To prepare for this Discussion:
Review the article "A New Ethics of the Budgetary Process" and think about how ethical codes in budgeting foster a sense of ethical responsibility.
Review the article "Corporate Ethics Officers and Government Ethics Administrators: Comparing Apples With Oranges or a Lesson to Be Learned?" Pay attention to ethical standards and guidelines in both the private and public sector.
Search the Walden Library and the Internet for an article about the use or misuse of funding. Review the article you selected and identify an ethical issue related to the use or misuse of funding in the article.
Consider how the use or misuse of funding might impact future budget funding requests.
With these thoughts in mind:
Post
a brief summary of the article you selected. Then explain in detail the ethical issue related to the use or misuse of funding you identified in the article. Finally, explain how the use or misuse of funding might impact future budget funding requests for the company or organization in the article.

Communicating The Recycling Message
This document discusses challenges and opportunities for educating consumers about recycling and safe disposal of products as product stewardship programs grow in the US. It finds that a centralized resource like Earth911 could help coordinate messaging among the increasing number of programs. Focus groups of manufacturers, retailers and governments agreed such a resource could provide accurate, up-to-date information to consumers through a single search system, though some had concerns about on-product messaging. Lessons from British Columbia, which has many stewardship programs, indicate collaboration and a centralized coordinator like Earth911 can help ensure consistent consumer education.

Lee Barnes - Path to Becoming an Effective Test Automation Engineer.pdf
So… you want to become a Test Automation Engineer (or hire and develop one)? While there’s quite a bit of information available about important technical and tool skills to master, there’s not enough discussion around the path to becoming an effective Test Automation Engineer that knows how to add VALUE. In my experience this had led to a proliferation of engineers who are proficient with tools and building frameworks but have skill and knowledge gaps, especially in software testing, that reduce the value they deliver with test automation.
In this talk, Lee will share his lessons learned from over 30 years of working with, and mentoring, hundreds of Test Automation Engineers. Whether you’re looking to get started in test automation or just want to improve your trade, this talk will give you a solid foundation and roadmap for ensuring your test automation efforts continuously add value. This talk is equally valuable for both aspiring Test Automation Engineers and those managing them! All attendees will take away a set of key foundational knowledge and a high-level learning path for leveling up test automation skills and ensuring they add value to their organizations.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.

Dandelion Hashtable: beyond billion requests per second on a commodity server
This slide deck presents DLHT, a concurrent in-memory hashtable. Despite efforts to optimize hashtables, that go as far as sacrificing core functionality, state-of-the-art designs still incur multiple memory accesses per request and block request processing in three cases. First, most hashtables block while waiting for data to be retrieved from memory. Second, open-addressing designs, which represent the current state-of-the-art, either cannot free index slots on deletes or must block all requests to do so. Third, index resizes block every request until all objects are copied to the new index. Defying folklore wisdom, DLHT forgoes open-addressing and adopts a fully-featured and memory-aware closed-addressing design based on bounded cache-line-chaining. This design offers lock-free index operations and deletes that free slots instantly, (2) completes most requests with a single memory access, (3) utilizes software prefetching to hide memory latencies, and (4) employs a novel non-blocking and parallel resizing. In a commodity server and a memory-resident workload, DLHT surpasses 1.6B requests per second and provides 3.5x (12x) the throughput of the state-of-the-art closed-addressing (open-addressing) resizable hashtable on Gets (Deletes).
