Resonac Faz Parceria com a Matmerize para Revolucionar o Avanço da Tecnologia 6G com Software Inovador de IA

ATLANTA, Sept. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Em uma colaboração significativa, a Matmerize, Inc., inovadora em IA de materiais, e a Resonac Corporation fecharam uma parceria estratégica com o objetivo de revolucionar o cenário da tecnologia 6G. Com base na sólida base colaborativa, a Resonac utilizará o poder da tecnologia do software de IA PolymRize™ da Matmerize para acelerar o desenvolvimento de materiais puros e compostos excepcionais de alto desempenho na tecnologia 6G e além.

Em janeiro de 2023, a Resonac Corporation anunciou planos de desenvolvimento de novos materiais semicondutores para 6G, o padrão de sistema de telecomunicações da próxima geração após 5G. Com o 6G definido para ser 100 vezes mais rápido que o 5G, novos materiais semicondutores são necessários para reduzir substancialmente a perda de transmissão associada ao aumento da velocidade de comunicação. Para atender a esse requisito, a Resonac identificará materiais ideais com as características necessárias por meio de métodos computacionais e de Inteligência Artificial (IA) em um empreendimento colaborativo com a Matmerize, Inc. Onde o teste manual usando técnicas tradicionais exigiria três meses para avaliar uma única combinação de materiais, o software de IA da Matmerize, PolymRize™, reduz o tempo necessário para um único dia, podendo avaliar até 90 combinações no mesmo período de três meses. O resultado promete ser uma fusão de engenharia de materiais e inteligência artificial, pronta para redefinir o desenvolvimento da tecnologia 6G.

O PolymRize™ utiliza os dados proprietários da Matmerize ou específicos do cliente na criação de modelos preditivos. Uma vez criados, esses modelos predizem rapidamente as propriedades dos novos polímeros, compósitos e formulações ainda a serem sintetizados, completos com todas as suas incertezas. O software emprega ferramentas de design automatizadas e generativas para recomendar candidatos ideais que atendam aos requisitos de propriedade para rodadas subsequentes de experimentação física. O PolymRize™ acelera assim a jornada em direção aos materiais-alvo, reduzindo drasticamente o tempo e os custos. Além disso, introduz uma estrutura para gerenciamento e organização de dados, sendo um auxiliar digital confiável para químicos e engenheiros de processo.

Em uma iniciativa piloto, a Resonac avaliou a capacidade da Matmerize. Os modelos preditivos foram criados com o software PolymRize™ e de terceiros com as principais propriedades do material relevantes para a tecnologia 6G. As propriedades incluíram bandgap, constante dielétrica, índice de refração, temperatura de transição vítrea, e coeficiente de expansão linear. O desempenho do PolymRize TM e dos modelos de terceiros foi avaliado com previsões de propriedade para casos de teste invisíveis idênticos. As previsões do PolymRize TM superaram consistentemente os modelos de terceiros em velocidade e precisão (veja a figura que mostra o desempenho dos modelos).

Mosa Meat Becomes B Corp Certified

Cultivated meat pioneer joins the global community of businesses that meet high standards of social and environmental impact.

Maastricht, Netherlands, Sept. 07, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Mosa Meat, a leader in cultivated beef production, announced today to have become a Certified B Corporation™. This marks a significant milestone in the company’s commitment to creating a more sustainable food system and bringing together partners, investors and suppliers who use business as a force for good. Upon certification, Mosa Meat became the first cultivated meat company worldwide to become B Corp™ Certified.

Founded in 2016, Mosa Meat gained international acclaim in 2013 when its founders, Mark Post and Peter Verstrate, introduced the world’s first cultivated beef hamburger grown directly from cow cells. Since then, the company has been dedicated to producing real beef in a manner that benefits people, animals, and the planet. Mosa Meat’s B Corp™ Certification validates its mission to fundamentally reshape the global food system, showcasing its environmental and social performance, commitment to accountability, transparency and leadership in driving economic systems change.

“We are thrilled to become B Corp Certified,” said Maarten Bosch, CEO of Mosa Meat. “This certification validates our commitment to sustainable practices and ethical foundations as well as strengthens our position as trendsetters in the global cellular agriculture movement. We believe in creating real, delicious meat that positively impacts the climate and our food system and are optimistic that these values will be shared across the many stakeholders in our nascent field of cellular agriculture.”

Leonardo DiCaprio, advisor and investor said “Mosa Meat continues to be a champion for change. I am proud to see Mosa Meat be the first cultivated meat company in the world to become B Corp Certified and hope it is the first of many.”

To receive B Corp™ Certification businesses are assessed on performance, accountability, and transparency in their social and environmental impact. They are holistically evaluated on aspects ranging from governance and mission to environmental practices, workers’ welfare and supply chain practices. With this certification Mosa Meat joins a community of caring, responsible and courageous leaders like Patagonia, Amy’s Kitchen, and Ben & Jerry’s that have become a Certified B Corporation™ previously.

After more than a year of thorough evaluation, Mosa Meat became B Corp™ Certified with two Impact Business Models (IBMs): ‘Resource Conservation’ and ‘Mission Locked’.

  • Resource Conservation recognizes products/services that reduce resource use (energy and water)
  • Mission locked recognizes companies that protect their mission and ability to formally consider stakeholders in decision making through their corporate structure or corporate governing documents

For an IBM certification, companies need to demonstrate principles that are specific, material, verifiable, lasting, and extraordinary. While the B Corp™ process is quite selective for companies to go through, gaining an IBM is considered to be even more challenging.

To realise the biggest positive climate impact, Mosa Meat is focused on cultivating beef over other types of meat first, and uses 100% renewable energy at their production facility. According to an independent, peer-reviewed Life Cycle Analysis study, cultivated beef production could reduce climate impact by 92%, air pollution by 93%, use 95% less land and 78% less water when compared to industrial beef production. Additionally, cultivated beef production offers the opportunity to free up land for more regenerative agriculture and re-wilding of habitats, which would further reduce negative impacts of food production. The automated process through which cultivated meat is produced, and the clean environment of its manufacturing, will also drastically reduce the need for antibiotics use and the risk of pathogens, contaminants and foodborne illnesses associated with intensive animal farming.

Nehale warns public to guard against scammers

Namibian Police Force spokesperson for the Oshikoto Region, Inspector Ellen Nehale has urged the public to stay vigilant and guard against scammers.

The warning comes after a case of theft under false pretences was opened by the police in Tsumeb, where an ex-employee of Telecom Namibia allegedly told his victim that the company was auctioning vehicles which employees can buy at affordable prices.

Nehale said the victim allegedly paid money into the suspect’s bank account to buy him a pick-up at thr purported staff price.

‘The victim deposited N.dollars 148 000 into the suspect’s account to buy the pick-up, which was supposed to be handed over to the victim on 04 September 2023 in Tsumeb,’ she said.

Nehale said the suspect started using the money on his own expenses.

When the police investigated the matter they found that the suspect had used N.dollars 11 000. The remaining money is still in the account as it was frozen.

Nehale advised the public to avoid business transactions that seem dubious.

‘The public is discouraged from buying cars or any other items before physically seeing them or verifying the proof of payment,’ she added.

Further, Nehale said people should not pay money into bank accounts before ensuring if the business is legit and should avoid doing business with people through social media.

She encouraged members of the public to report any suspicious activity relating to scams to the nearest police station.

Mutorwa commissions phase two of Charlie Cutline District Road

Minister of Works and Transport, John Mutorwa on Wednesday commissioned phase two of the Charlie Cutline District Road, located some 70km west of Rundu in the Kavango West Region.

“The construction of the first phase of the road, covering a distance of 40km, which commenced in June last year, was completed in November of the same year,” the minister said.

Phase one of the project was completed at N.dollars 30 million, while phase two is valued at close to N.dollars 30 million as well.

Mutorwa reiterated that the development of rural roads is a crucial undertaking towards the socio-economic transformation of rural villages.

“If you can look at the activities in this area, it is mainly agriculture such as animal husbandry and plantations of mahangu for food production,” he stated.

He described the Charlie Cutline District Road as very important as it connects the two Kavango regions to Oshikoto and Ohangwena.

Mutorwa believes that the construction of the said road will promote interregional trade and that such a move will transform the lives of the people who are living in rural areas.

He further said continued investment in roads plays an important role in stimulating economic growth and job creation.

The minister said upon completion, farmers in the area will be provided with all-weather access to the market places and that all schools and government institutions in the surrounding towns will be connected to the main road networks.

Murorwa said the contractor on the project is Roadhard CC and they employed 25 people as of 31 August 2023.

RCC employees hold peaceful demonstration

Road Contractor Company (RCC) employees on Wednesday held a peaceful demonstration in the capital, demanding salary increments in a petition handed over to management.

Speaking on behalf of the employees, the group’s chairperson, Erastus Kalute, stated that RCC employees have not received a salary increment in seven years and that employee leave days were reduced to twelve days without negotiations with the employees or Namibia Public Workers Union (Napwu).

‘We demand that the company engages its employees through their union and must comply with relevant provisions of he Labour Act and that the company should pay out all outstanding leave days to the current and former employees affected by these changes upon retirement or resignations and that the accrued leave days be reinstated,’ Kalute said.

The employees further demanded that the Interim Chief Executive Officer (CEO), Maria Nakale, be removed from CEO position as the employees claim she is a relative to the landlord of the building in where the RCC is headquartered, describing this as a conflict of interest.

Nakale, who received the petition on behalf of the RCC’s management, promised to relay it to the relevant authorities for consideration.
