Predicting Daily CO₂ Emissions with Machine Learning and Deep Learning Models
The recent devastating wildfires in California serve as a reminder of the urgent need for actionable climate solutions. These events, fueled by rising global temperatures and unchecked CO₂ emissions, highlight the importance of understanding and predicting carbon output on a more granular level.
Gridded precipitation intensity-duration-frequency curves in Qinghai-Tibet Plateau
The Qinghai-Tibet Plateau Precipitation Intensity-Duration-Frequency Curves (QTPPIDFC) dataset, with a 1/30° spatial resolution, is generated, as the first gridded dataset tailored for estimating extreme precipitation characteristics in the region.
Towards Sustainable Benchmarking in AI for Digital Pathology
Deep Learning (DL) can transform medical diagnostics, but its environmental cost is often overlooked. A new benchmarking approach for DL in pathology is vital, integrating carbon footprint with diagnostic performance to develop sustainable, efficient AI solutions.
Unlocking Lingonberry Secrets: Health Boosts Through Epigenomic Innovations
Lingonberry (Vaccinium vitis-idaea L.) is a small, perennial shrub that belongs to a large family of plants called Ericaceae, which includes about 4,250 species.
An in-use comparative analysis of diesel, CNG, and electric buses for a small island developing state
Small Island Developing States (SIDS) in the Caribbean face distinctive challenges due to their small size and vulnerability to climate change. SIDS also exhibit high transportation costs and car dependencies, impacting their sustainable development.
Roles of Cu(I) in H2O activation for electrocatalytic reduction of CO2 to C2+ compoundsCO2
Copper is the promising catalyst for CO2 electrocatalytic reduction to ethylene and ethanol, but the working state of Cu is under dispute. The operando spectroscopy confirms the presence of Cu+ in a nanocomposite during CO2RR. The catalyst with Cu+ promotes H2O activation, enhancing C2 formation.
