Energy-rich species. In chemistry and particularly biochemistry, an energy-rich species (usually energy-rich molecule) or high-energy species (usually high-energy molecule) is a chemical species which reacts, potentially with other species found in the environment, to release chemical energy.

In particular, the term is often used for:
 adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and similar molecules called high-energy phosphates, which release inorganic phosphate into the environment in an exothermic reaction with water:
ATP +  → ADP + Pi  ΔG°' = −30.5 kJ/mol (−7.3 kcal/mol)
 fuels such as hydrocarbons, carbohydrates, lipids, proteins, and other organic molecules which react with oxygen in the environment to ultimately form carbon dioxide, water, and sometimes nitrogen, sulfates, and phosphates
 molecular hydrogen
 monatomic oxygen, ozone, hydrogen peroxide, singlet oxygen and other metastable or unstable species which spontaneously react without further reactants
 in particular, the vast majority of free radicals
 explosives such as nitroglycerin and other substances which react exothermically without requiring a second reactant
 metals or metal ions which can be oxidized to release energy

This is contrasted to species that are either part of the environment (this sometimes includes diatomic triplet oxygen) or do not react with the environment (such as many metal oxides or calcium carbonate); those species are not considered energy-rich or high-energy species.

Alternative definitions 

The term is often used without a definition. Some authors define the term "high-energy" to be equivalent to "chemically unstable", while others reserve the term for high-energy phosphates, such as the Great Soviet Encyclopedia which defines the term "high-energy compounds" to refer exclusively to those.

The IUPAC glossary of terms used in ecotoxicology defines a primary producer as an "organism capable of using the energy derived from light or a chemical substance in order to manufacture energy-rich organic compounds". However, IUPAC does not formally define the meaning of "energy-rich".

Mellor Orion. The Mellor Orion (previously known as the Bluebird Orion) is a minibus body manufactured on Fiat Ducato chassis since 2011, introduced by Bluebird Vehicles and subsequently built by Mellor Coachcraft since 2014. Several variants are produced, including the long-wheelbase Orion Plus and the fully electric Orion E. In 2021, Mellor launched an updated version known as the Orion Evolution.

An eight-seater private hire taxi variant, known as the Mellor Pico, was launched in 2019 on short-wheelbase Fiat Ducato chassis.

Operators

Orion 
The Mellor Orion has proven popular with local councils in providing accessible transport, home-to-school transport and demand responsive or low-demand rural services. One of the largest customers for the Orion has been Dorset County Council, who took delivery of 39 Orions between 2016 and 2018 in a major renewal of their minibus fleet. Other large customers for the Orion include Nottinghamshire County Council, who have taken delivery of eleven examples; Durham County Council, who operate seven Orions; and Edinburgh City Council, who ordered twelve vehicles in 2019.

The Orion has also been offered to foreign markets. In early 2014, a Bluebird Orion Plus was exported to Australia and tested by several operators after being route tested by Australasian Bus & Coach magazine.

Orion E 
The first production Orion E entered service in 2019 with the National Galleries of Scotland on a shuttle service between its three sites. Seven Orion Es were delivered to First West Yorkshire in Leeds in 2021 for the new Flexibus East Leeds demand responsive transport service. Cheshire West and Chester Council took delivery of an Orion E in 2022 to join their existing fleet of diesel Orions, marking the council's first investment in electric buses. Other customers include Nottingham City Council, who are evaluating a single Orion E alongside other electric vehicles as part of their Project EVE.

Pico 
The Mellor Pico was launched at the Busworld exposition in Brussels in October 2019. Aimed at the taxi and demand responsive market, the Pico is built on the shortest wheelbase Fiat Ducato chassis and contains up to eight passenger seats, competing with contemporary taxis such as the LEVC TX.

Frank Twyman. Frank Twyman  (17 November 1876 – 6 March 1959) was a British designer of optical instruments and co-inventor of the Twyman–Green interferometer.

Early life 
Twyman was born in Canterbury, Kent, England on 17 November 1876, the seventh child of nine to Jane Lefevre and ropemaker George Edmund Twyman. He attended Simon Langton School before doing an electrical engineering course at Finsbury Technical College, followed by a Siemens scholarship at Central Technical College in London. In 1897 he co-authored his first scientific paper.

Career 
Twyman worked briefly for the Fowler Waring Cables Company testing telephone cables, before beginning work in 1898 for optical instrument manufacturing firm Adam Hilger as an assistant to Otto Hilger. Following the death of Otto Hilger, Twyman became managing director of the firm. He remained in post until 1946 when he became chairman.

Until 1910 he managed the design and construction of all of the firms new equipment. This included a deviation wavelength spectrometer and a spectrograph made using quartz rather than glass to enable the observation of the ultraviolet spectrum.

Between 1918 and 1923 with foreman Alfred Green he developed the Twyman–Green interferometer, based on the Michelson interferometer, and used principally for testing optical equipment.

In 1924 he was elected a fellow of the Royal Society. In 1926 he was awarded both the Duddell Medal of the Physical Society and the John Price Wetherill Medal of the Franklin Institute.

In 1942 he published the book Prism and Lens Making. In 1956 he won the Gold medal of the Society for Applied Spectroscopy.

He also advised the firm E. R. Watts and Son until they merged in 1948 with Adam Hilger Ltd. to form Hilger & Watts Ltd. He remained an advisor to Hilger & Watts until his death.

Personal life 
In 1906 Twyman married Phillipine Katherine Elisabeth Hilger, daughter of Otto Hilger. They went on to have four children together. In 1956 he authored a book on his family history, An East Kent Family. He also wrote a pamphlet of his views on economics, and a book on apprenticeships.

He died at home on 6 March 1959 in St Pancras, London.

List of invasive aquatic species in Montana. Montana, USA, has a wide variety of invasive aquatic species ranging from algae to turtles. The effect each invasive species has on the environment varies greatly, some species are devastating while others are negligible. Aquatic plants and algae may easily be transported from lake to lake by boaters who do not take the necessary precautions when launching their boats into new bodies of water. Sometimes, pet owners release their pets into a non-native habitat where they will actually thrive and eventually establish a population and then begin to displace the native species that it competes with.

Utility cut. A utility cut is a cut and excavation to an existing road surface to install or repair subterranean public utility conduits and equipment. After the utility is installed or repaired, the road needs to be restored which will result in patches on the road surface. Due to a different settling rate of the backfill material relative to the original pavement, the road surface condition may be deteriorated after the road restoration. This will require ongoing maintenance and repairs.

Some municipalities require contractors to install utility repair tags to identify responsible parties of the deteriorated patches.
