ECONOMIC DILLEMMAS OF SMART GRID DEVELOPMENT: ILLUSIONS, REALITIES AND PROSPECTS by I. V. Danilin

“…New approaches are needed – defining agents of change, solutions for rising investments, changing the role of the state, etc. Three approaches are proposed in the paper that can support implementation of innovative effects: evolutionary (emphasis on smooth changes in industry regulation for accommodation to new conditions and goals), return to the «traditional» model of development of basic infrastructures and emerging technologies (government as a key player and investor), and revolutionary scenario (shifting focus to consumers and new actors, forming innovative Smart Grid clusters within the existing energy system and markets). …”

Agriculture and Water Availability Show Contrasting Effects on Bats in a Mediterranean Island of Outstanding Chiropteran Biogeographical Value by Luca Cistrone, Ana Margarida Augusto, Gaetano Fichera, Hugo Rebelo, Danilo Russo

“…Pantelleria, a small Mediterranean island and a biogeographic crossroad between Europe and Africa, offers an excellent model to exemplify the challenges to bat conservation in such geographic contexts. We tested three hypotheses: (1) bats would show weak preference patterns for landscape composition due to the island's heterogeneous landscapes, (2) farmland (especially vineyards) would strongly affect bat activity, and (3) distance from water sources would highly influence bat richness and activity. …”
