1. Waste Characterization & Quantification & Composting - Cape Maclear, Malawi 

   Meier, Raphael (2024)

   This study examines the challenges of waste management, soil quality and food security in Cape Maclear, Malawi. Rising waste volumes, inadequate waste treatment, as well as declining soil quality and rising fertiliser prices are putting pressure on villagers, their agricultural activities and threatening food security. The research questions aim to investigate the sizen and composition of waste streams, the current disposal routes of the ...

   Despite the tremendous progress in zero-shot learning (ZSL), the majority of existing methods still rely on human-annotated attributes, which are difficult to annotate and scale. An unsupervised alternative is to represent each class using the word embedding associated with its semantic class name. However, word embeddings extracted from pre-trained language models do not necessarily capture visual similarities, resulting in poor zero-shot ...

5. Utilizing CO₂ as a strategy to scale up direct air capture may face fewer short-term barriers than directly storing CO₂ 

   Brazzola, Nicoletta; Moretti, Christian; Sievert, Katrin; et al. (2024)

   Environmental Research Letters

   Direct air capture (DAC) is increasingly recognized as a necessary puzzle piece to achieve the Paris climate targets. However, the current high cost and energy intensity of DAC act as a barrier. Short-term strategies for initial deployment, technology improvement, and cost reduction are needed to enable large-scale deployment. We assess and compare two near-term pathways leading to the same installed DAC capacity and thus yielding the ...
