Electricity sector deregulation and consumer protection: assessing the imperatives of a competition: Assessing the imperatives of a competition law and competition regulatory autho... by Usman, Dahiru Jafaru, Yaacob, Nurli, A. Rahman, Aspalella

“…Literature abounds on the high risk of the electricity sector deregulation and the susceptibility of the deregulated electricity markets to manipulations and abuse by the electricity service providers.For better and fair market operations and the protection of consumers’ interest, the paper adopts the doctrinal research approach and assesses the imperatives of competition law and competition structures in the deregulated Nigerian electricity market.The paper found that the Nigerian experiment took off without the necessary consumer protection structures such as a competition law and competition regulatory agency leaving the electricity consumers at the mercy of the electricity service providers.The paper concludes that the country urgently needs a comprehensive competition regime to guarantee consumer benefits and to prevent substituting public monopoly with a private monopoly in the new Nigerian electricity market.…”

Synthesis and degradation of FtsZ quantitatively predict the first cell division in starved bacteria by Sekar, Karthik, Rusconi, Roberto, Sauls, John T., Fuhrer, Tobias, Noor, Elad, Nguyen, Jen, Fernandez, Vicente I., Buffing, Marieke F., Berney, Michael, Jun, Suckjoon, Stocker, Roman, Sauer, Uwe

“…Current models are phenomenological and specific to nutrient‐rich, exponentially growing cells, thus cannot predict the first division under limiting nutrient availability. To assess this regime, we supplied starving Escherichia coli with glucose pulses at increasing frequencies. …”

Missing links in The China Model by Li, Chenyang

“…We should not take this book as an apologetics for the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) even though it offers both positive and negative assessments of the Chinese communist regime, as any fair-minded work should. There is a tendency among scholars to avoid discussing certain topics in order not to be perceived as politically motivated to help governments with a less than commendable reputation. …”

An experimental investigation on finite wings with leading-edge protuberances by Teo, Marcus Jun Jie

“…Fluid flow characteristics of wings with leading edge tubercles were experimentally investigated in a water tunnel at a Reynolds number of 13292, falling under the transitional Reynolds regime. This experiment is meant to be continuation of a pre-existing experimental study examining fluid flow characteristics of wings but with differing dimensions. …”
