One of the worldwide modern instruments to increase power efficiency is the price-dependent electricity consumption. It is one of the elements in managing the demand for power consumption. The ...programs of price-dependent power consumption are globally relevant. However, in Russia, their development is still on a conceptual phase. This paper analyses regional tariffs for the power transmission from the perspective of encouraging consumers to price-dependent demand management for electricity consumption. We examine the structure of final electricity tariffs for various categories of consumers as well as identify the percentage rate for the electricity transmission for each category. We consider the methodology of single-part and two-part tariffs for electricity transmission, their structure, and advantages of application. On the example of Volga Federal District tariffs, we have calculated single-part and two-part tariffs for the power transmission in industrial enterprises in terms of three typical schedules of electricity consumption. To compare the efficiency of the price-dependent demand management for the electricity transmission in different regions of Russia, we have introduced the indicators “coefficient of the transmission tariff” and “integral coefficient of the transmission tariff”. Furthermore, we made calculations for 65 regions of Russia entering the price zones of power wholesale market. As a result of the analysis, we divided Russian regions of Russia according to the indicator of “integrated coefficient of transmission tariff” in 3 administrative groups. For each group, we have developed recommendations on pricedependent demand management for power transmission. The theoretical significance of the research consists in the development of methods for the analysis and selection of the most appropriate industrial enterprise tariff for electricity transmission. In practice, regional authorities can use the developed groups of regions to change the structure of regional tariffs in order to stimulate consumers to price-dependent power consumption. Moreover, the algorithm for calculating tariffs for electricity transmission can be applied by the industrial Russia enterprises in price-dependent demand management of power consumption to choose an optimum tariff and reduce costs on power transmission.
The article is devoted to the problems of price-dependent management of energy consumed by industrial enterprises which are involved in purchasing energy in the wholesale and retail energy markets. ...The article provides the analysis of forming the obligation value to pay for each component of cost of energy. There have been revealed ways and time intervals of energy consumption demand value management in order to minimize the obligation value to pay for cost of energy. The authors have developed a model aimed at managing energy consumption demand which takes into consideration the specific character of forming the obligation to pay in terms of each component of cost bearing in mind to the factors restricting possibilities to manage demand in the time intervals required. The article also covers some description of the parameters developed for information support of the model offered. The practical approval conducted by the authors, permits to state that using the mechanism of price-dependent energy consumption gives industrial enterprises substantial reserves to reduce energy consumption costs. The research results are of practical importance and can be applied in everyday activity connected with energy purchasing by industrial enterprises.
Dye-binding assays, such as those utilizing Congo red and thioflavin T, are among the most widely used tools to probe the aggregation of amyloidogenic biomolecules and for the evaluation of small ...molecule inhibitors of amyloid aggregation and fibrillization. A number of recent reports have indicated that these dye-binding assays could be prone to false positive effects when assessing inhibitors’ potential toward Aβ peptides, species involved in Alzheimer’s disease. Specifically, this review focuses on the application of thioflavin T for determining the efficiency of small molecule inhibitors of Aβ aggregation and addresses potential reasons that might be associated with the false positive effects in an effort to increase reliability of dye-binding assays.
Owing to the synergistic combination of a hybrid organic–inorganic nature and a chemically active porous structure, metal–organic frameworks have emerged as a new class of crystalline materials. The ...current trend in the chemical industry is to utilize such crystals as flexible hosting elements for applications as diverse as gas and energy storage, filtration, catalysis, and sensing. From the physical point of view, metal–organic frameworks are considered molecular crystals with hierarchical structures providing the structure‐related physical properties crucial for future applications of energy transfer, data processing and storage, high‐energy physics, and light manipulation. Here, the perspectives of metal–organic frameworks as a new family of functional materials in modern physics are discussed: from porous metals and superconductors, topological insulators, and classical and quantum memory elements, to optical superstructures, materials for particle physics, and even molecular scale mechanical metamaterials. Based on complementary properties of crystallinity, softness, organic–inorganic nature, and complex hierarchy, a description of how such artificial materials have extended their impact on applied physics to become the mainstream in material science is offered.

The fluorescence of BODIPY and click-BODIPY dyes was found to substantially increase in the presence of bovine serum albumin (BSA). BSA acted as a solubilizer for dye aggregates, in addition to being ...a conventional binding scaffold for the click-BODIPY dyes, indicating that disaggregation of fluorophores should be considered when evaluating dye-protein interactions.
