Plantagon och Tekniska Verken
Urban agriculture will be necessary to feed the world's growing population as 80% will live in cities by 2050 and over 80% of suitable land is already used for crops. Vertical farming in urban areas uses less land and water while increasing yields. The Plantagon system recycles waste as inputs for organic food production in vertical greenhouses. It works with partners around the world to build sustainable indoor farms that can grow food locally with less emissions and transportation needs.
Microwave Assisted Synthesis of Metallic Nanostructures
The document discusses microwave assisted synthesis of metallic nanostructures. Some key points:
1) Microwave irradiation can be used to synthesize a variety of metallic nanostructures like spheres, sheets, rods, wires, and dendrites.
2) Microwave heating allows for faster, cleaner reactions compared to traditional heating methods. It enables selective heating and precise temperature control.
3) Examples demonstrate synthesizing gold nanoparticles within minutes using microwave heating, stabilizers, and reducing agents, achieving smaller, more uniform particles than traditional heating.
4) Microwave synthesis has advantages like short reaction times, low energy input, selective heating, and ability to control morphology of nanostructures produced. It is considered a green chemistry approach
Notes On Microwaves
This document discusses microwave assisted synthesis. Microwaves directly heat materials through ionic conduction and dipolar polarization. Microwave heating is more homogeneous than conventional heating methods. It allows for faster reactions, higher yields, lower energy consumption, and the ability to perform solvent-free reactions. Common organic reactions that can be carried out via microwave irradiation include Diels-Alder, ester hydrolysis, and nucleophilic substitutions. Microwave systems have advanced to enable both laboratory and industrial scale organic synthesis.
Ops Energy Solutions
This document discusses using pyrolysis to harvest energy from wastes like municipal solid waste, crop waste, wood waste, and construction waste. Pyrolysis involves heating organic materials in a low or zero oxygen environment to produce syngas, biochar, and oils. A typical pyrolysis plant can process 50 metric tons of unsorted municipal solid waste per day to produce electricity, biochar, pyro-oils, and usable heat while emitting very low levels of particulates. The energy, biochar, and pyro-oils produced can be sold while also removing waste from landfills.

SREL Biogas.Pdf
Spectrum Renewable Energy Ltd. proposes installing a biogas plant at Tata Consultancy Services to process 2.5 tons of canteen waste per day. The biogas produced can be used to generate electricity and heat, reducing reliance on LPG. The plant would save an estimated 5.17 tons of CO2 emissions per year and generate organic manure as a byproduct. Several financial options are proposed for TCS to invest in the plant, either fully or partially, in return for savings on waste disposal costs and LPG replacement.
Advanced energy technology for sustainable development. Part 3
This document discusses using fusion energy for sustainable development through biomass conversion. It proposes a system where fusion energy is used to provide heat for gasifying biomass into synthetic fuels like methane and diesel. Experiments show biomass can be over 95% converted to hydrogen, carbon monoxide and methane gases using nickel catalysts at temperatures of 600-1000 degrees Celsius. A conceptual biomass reactor is presented that could process 6 million tons of biomass per year, consisting of 70% cellulose and 30% lignin, into synthetic fuels to serve as carbon-neutral transportation fuels. Fusion energy could provide the high heat needed for the gasification and synthesis processes.
Buildex 2013
The document discusses the 2030 Challenge for Products, which calls on manufacturers to specify building products that meet reduction goals for their embodied carbon footprint, as measured through life cycle assessment and reported in environmental product declarations. It outlines how manufacturers can calculate impact, communicate results through EPDs, and work to reduce impacts, while architects and others can specify lower impact products and stay informed through EPDs and other resources. The goal is to increase transparency around product impacts and drive the selection of lower carbon options.

From Natural Language to Structured Solr Queries using LLMs
This talk draws on experimentation to enable AI applications with Solr. One important use case is to use AI for better accessibility and discoverability of the data: while User eXperience techniques, lexical search improvements, and data harmonization can take organizations to a good level of accessibility, a structural (or “cognitive” gap) remains between the data user needs and the data producer constraints.
That is where AI – and most importantly, Natural Language Processing and Large Language Model techniques – could make a difference. This natural language, conversational engine could facilitate access and usage of the data leveraging the semantics of any data source.
The objective of the presentation is to propose a technical approach and a way forward to achieve this goal.
The key concept is to enable users to express their search queries in natural language, which the LLM then enriches, interprets, and translates into structured queries based on the Solr index’s metadata.
This approach leverages the LLM’s ability to understand the nuances of natural language and the structure of documents within Apache Solr.
The LLM acts as an intermediary agent, offering a transparent experience to users automatically and potentially uncovering relevant documents that conventional search methods might overlook. The presentation will include the results of this experimental work, lessons learned, best practices, and the scope of future work that should improve the approach and make it production-ready.
Mutation Testing for Task-Oriented Chatbots
Conversational agents, or chatbots, are increasingly used to access all sorts of services using natural language. While open-domain chatbots - like ChatGPT - can converse on any topic, task-oriented chatbots - the focus of this paper - are designed for specific tasks, like booking a flight, obtaining customer support, or setting an appointment. Like any other software, task-oriented chatbots need to be properly tested, usually by defining and executing test scenarios (i.e., sequences of user-chatbot interactions). However, there is currently a lack of methods to quantify the completeness and strength of such test scenarios, which can lead to low-quality tests, and hence to buggy chatbots.
To fill this gap, we propose adapting mutation testing (MuT) for task-oriented chatbots. To this end, we introduce a set of mutation operators that emulate faults in chatbot designs, an architecture that enables MuT on chatbots built using heterogeneous technologies, and a practical realisation as an Eclipse plugin. Moreover, we evaluate the applicability, effectiveness and efficiency of our approach on open-source chatbots, with promising results.
