This study examines the readiness of the inhabitants of Bengaluru, a metropolitan city located in the State of Karnataka in India, to shift to electricity-based residential cooking. The study also touches upon the critical knowledge gaps regarding the energy transition from an established LPG-based ecosystem to the new electric cooking ecosystem.

This study discusses a methodological framework in conjunction with the existing probability-based risk metrics for assessing the resource adequacy of the electricity generation mix, considering the generation capacities of different sources, their average availability levels, and the possible outages that these sources may suffer from. The simulations show that the available capacity decreases with an increasing number of discrete risk events, which limits the capability of the power system to meet the demand.

The Social Internet of Things (SIoT) enables collaborative service provisioning among interconnected devices by leveraging socially inspired trust relationships. This paper proposes a socially driven SIoT protocol for trust-aware service selection, enabling dynamic friendship formation and ranking among distributed service-providing devices based on observed execution behaviour.

• Shallow lakes in the sub-tropics are more prone to eutrophication and cyanotoxin pollution.
• Microcystin-LR is a commonly occurring cyanotoxin in water bodies and a potent toxin for living organisms.
• MC-LR depends on harmful algal blooms (HABs), trophic state index (TSI), and bio physicochemical variables of water bodies.
• Ecohydrological monitoring and epidemiological interventions will help in the systematic remediation of cyanotoxin pollution
