A first public presentation of our ongoing study into the worldwide market for Low Charge Ammonia. This technology is disrupting the industrial refrigeration space in a way never seen before, and its now moving into other sectors such as supermarkets, HVAC, wine, breweries, and more.
At an event in the European Parliament on 7 March 2018, shecco gave a presentation on the impact of the F-Gas Regulation on the HVAC&R industry, especially in respect to shift to natural refrigerants.

Market Trends for Natural Refrigerants in North America and GloballyKlara Zolcer Skacanova
The Greenchill webinar focused on the latest market and technology trends for CO2, hydrocarbons and ammonia in commercial refrigeration applications. It provided the market data on the current state of these technologies in North America and other key global markets. CO2 transcritical technology is quickly becoming the mainstream option for new stores, with over 20,000 stores using this technology globally. Besides this, hydrocarbon plug-in units and water loop technology are an interesting alternative to traditional HFC-based systems. While ammonia has traditionally been used in larger industrial applications, the webinar will mention examples of installation of low-charge ammonia systems in supermarkets.

Which climate and energy policies can most cost-effectively drive down China's carbon emissions? Energy Innovation, together with two Chinese government advisory groups, built a computer model to assess the combined effects of 35 climate, energy, and environmental policies on a variety of metrics. The model's results indicate that China can peak emissions by or around 2030 using a set of well-known policies, and the transition will be cost-effective and economically beneficial with large public health benefits. This presentation highlights some of the project's key findings.
Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Kubernetes & AI - Beauty and the Beast !?! @KCD Istanbul 2024Tobias Schneck
As AI technology is pushing into IT I was wondering myself, as an “infrastructure container kubernetes guy”, how get this fancy AI technology get managed from an infrastructure operational view? Is it possible to apply our lovely cloud native principals as well? What benefit’s both technologies could bring to each other?
Let me take this questions and provide you a short journey through existing deployment models and use cases for AI software. On practical examples, we discuss what cloud/on-premise strategy we may need for applying it to our own infrastructure to get it to work from an enterprise perspective. I want to give an overview about infrastructure requirements and technologies, what could be beneficial or limiting your AI use cases in an enterprise environment. An interactive Demo will give you some insides, what approaches I got already working for real.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
The Art of the Pitch: WordPress Relationships and SalesLaura Byrne

19. The Paris Agreement aims to keep the global
temperature rise below 2°C, pursuing efforts to
limit it to 1.5°C (compared to pre-industrial
levels).
Montreal Protocol = global phase out of R22
The Kigali Amendment to the Montreal Protocol
adopted in October 2016 is estimated to prevent
70 billion tonnes CO2e by 2050 under a business
as usual scenario, avoiding almost 0.5°C
warming by the end of the century.
= Global phase-down of HFCs by 85% by late
2040s - first reductions by developed countries
as of 2019, by most developing countries as of
2024
