Reliable operation in a deregulated environment and under conditions of uncertainty requires that loads be considered adjustable. This paper assumes that participation in demand management programs is entirely voluntary, and the compensation for participation is an integral part of any demand management program. Another consideration is simplicity: demand management programs must be simple to u...

Swine wastewater (SW) and olive mill wastewater (OMW) are two problematic wastes that have become major causes of health and environmental concerns. The main objective of the current work was to evaluate the efficiency of the co-digestion strategy for treatment of SW and OMW mixtures. Mesophilic batch reactors fed with mixtures of SW and OMW showed that the two adapted sludges Gadot and Prigat ...

Wireless Mesh Networks (WMNs) have been expected to be the ul imate solution for the next decade wireless networking. The attractions of WMNs include easy set -up on the fly, off-the-shelf cost, flexible interoperability with other networks, and highly reliable connectivity. Because of these advantages over other wireless networks, WMNs are undergoing rapid development. However, research proble...
