The EU carbon border adjustment mechanism: implications on Brazilian energy intensive industries

As an instrument supporting the realization of EU climate neutrality targets by 2050 and encouraging decarbonization outside its borders, the current proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is facing opposition from some countries. Focusing on B ...

Growing maize landraces in industrialized countries: from the search for seeds to the emergence of new practices and values

Marianna Fenzi

In industrialized countries, maize cultivation is mainly associated with the use of hybrid varieties and input-intensive monocultures. Despite the homogeneity of European maize landscapes, alternative models of maize production based on landraces exist. Un ...

The Quest for Genes Involved in Adaptation to Climate Change in Ruminant Livestock

Stéphane Joost, Elia Vajana

Simple Summary:& nbsp;After domestication in specific regions, livestock followed human migrations and colonized the whole world. During this population expansion, human and natural selection, together with demographic events, molded the livestock genome l ...

Community seed network in an era of climate change: dynamics of maize diversity in Yucatán, Mexico

Marianna Fenzi

Local seed systems remain the fundamental source of seeds for many crops in developing countries. Climate resilience for small holder farmers continues to depend largely on locally available seeds of traditional crop varieties. High rainfall events can hav ...

A Flexible In-Memory Computing Architecture for Heterogeneously Quantized CNNs

David Atienza Alonso, Giovanni Ansaloni, Alexandre Sébastien Julien Levisse, Marco Antonio Rios, Flavio Ponzina

Inferences using Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) are resource and energy intensive. Therefore, their execution on highly constrained edge devices demands the careful co-optimization of algorithms and hardware. Addressing this challenge, in this paper ...

Biogeoinformatics for the management of Farm Animal Genetic Resources (FAnGR)

Solange Catherine Gaillard

In the context of both severe selection in farm animals and potential effects of climate change, it is crucial to implement a sustainable management of the breeding practice, supported by a judicious use of geographic information technologies. Based on thi ...

Overview: Integrative and Comprehensive Understanding on Polar Environments (iCUPE) – concept and initial results

Julia Schmale, Imad El Haddad, Jakob Boyd Pernov, Jenny Thomas

The role of polar regions is increasing in terms of megatrends such as globalization, new transport routes, demography, and the use of natural resources with consequent effects on regional and transported pollutant concentrations. We set up the ERA-PLANET ...

Cooperative or undifferentiated: Two visions for housing

Valentin Daniel Maurice Bourdon

Throughout Europe, the dominant housing production practices of the last century seem to be running out of steam. Housing is looking for a future. The weakening of the power of the state, the instability of the markets and the ecological emergency have led ...

Selective hydrogenation of lignin-derived compounds under mild conditions

Paul Joseph Dyson, Gabor Laurenczy, Antoine Philippe Van Muyden, Lu Chen, Xinjiang Cui

A key challenge in the production of lignin-derived chemicals is to reduce the energy intensive processes used in their production. Here, we show that well-defined Rh nanoparticles dispersed in sub-micrometer size carbon hollow spheres, are able to hydroge ...

Self-assembled glass-based Fano resonant metasurfaces

Fabien Sorin

Dielectric metasurfaces require the integration of large index contrast materials with accurate control over position and size for high optical efficiency. Their fabrication usually relies on well-established lithographic techniques. While lithography bear ...
