Commsignia integrates cloud and V2X messaging in a 5G & 4G V2N solution

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The vehicle-to-network (V2N) solution can be applied to avoid traffic jams and prevent accidents in semi-static situations. A simple and rather common example is when cars congest highway exits and obstruct the outer lane, creating a dangerous situation.

SANTA CLARA, Calif., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The vehicle-to-network (V2N) solution can be applied to avoid traffic jams and prevent accidents in semi-static situations. A simple and rather common example is when cars congest highway exits and obstruct the outer lane, creating a dangerous situation. One known solution is when the on-board navigation system of stalled vehicles sends status information to the cloud via a 4G or 5G cellular connection. The navigation supplier’s cloud-based traffic information service then informs other vehicles of a possible traffic jam in the area. Such solutions usually only work within the specific supplier’s ecosystem.

Commsignia’s solution can aggregate information from different data sources, including various suppliers’ cloud databases, infrastructure data from roadside sensors and cameras, and sensor data from V2X-enabled vehicles. While cloud-based solutions trigger an early warning about a possible event, a vehicle’s V2X on-board unit sends more precise information in low-latency direct messages to other V2X-enabled vehicles in the area. These vehicle-to-vehicle (V2V) messages contain the exact location of the recognized event. Commsignia’s hybrid fusion layer verifies alerts from different sources and provides the driver with aggregated data.

By combining network-based V2N, infrastructure-based V2I and vehicle-based V2V data, Commsignia’s solution offers more precise warnings and opens up the possibility of notifications reaching more drivers, increasing road safety.

«One of the big challenges in digital traffic safety is reaching most drivers, and it makes sense to combine multiple channels such as direct V2X communications and the 4G or 5G cellular networks. The aggregation and verification of different information sources offer a robust and reliable messaging solution, all based on automotive grade V2X standards.» – says Andras Varadi, Research Director at Commsignia.

This solution was developed in the SAFERtec project. SAFERtec has received funding from the European Union’s Horizon 2020 research and innovation programme under grant agreement no 732319

HOUSTON, and ORLANDO, Fla., Mar. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — In response to the introduction of the CLEAN Future ACT, Crane Inspection & Certification Bureau (CICB) has unveiled their new programs for companies providing construction and O&M services for the wind-energy sector.

CICB’s ‘Wind Service Advanced Rigging with Lift Planning’ and the management-level ‘Crane Safety for the Wind-Energy Sector’ have been designed in response to the needs of industry leaders aware of the significant uptick in demand for renewable energy. The CLEAN Future ACT sets out ambitious goals, including 100 percent clean electricity by 2035. This follows on the heels of what American Clean Power call «a banner year», as Q4 2020 saw a record high in wind installation with more capacity installed than any other year combined, except 2012.

John O’Connor, co-author of CICB’s White Paper on roles and responsibilities in lifting operations on wind farms, noted the importance of developing training for the wind industry. «There is no doubt that crews working above and below the hook are under increased pressure to meet the growing demands of the wind-energy industry. Operating safely under these conditions is as important as ever.

«Developing an authoritative program for the wind-energy sector was a natural consequence of CICB’s 52-year mandate to furnish comprehensive safety training and guidance for crane and rigging operations across industries.»

O’Connor continued, «It is clear that the ambitious goals of the current administration will spark increased hiring of entire crews that will, in turn, need to be properly trained, certified and evaluated. CICB’s fully customizable ‘Wind Service Advanced Rigging with Lift Planning’ program was formulated to meet the specific needs of contractors engaged in the construction and maintenance of wind farms. Similarly, the ‘Crane Safety for the Wind-Energy Sector’ course is management-level instruction for those with supervisor roles.»

Simba Information: Social Science, Humanities Publishing Fell on COVID-19 Disruption

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The impact of the COVID-19 virus and associated economic disruption will tighten the market for publishing materials in the humanities and social sciences — this according to

ROCKVILLE, Md., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The impact of the COVID-19 virus and associated economic disruption will tighten the market for publishing materials in the humanities and social sciences — this according to Global Social Sciences & Humanities Publishing 2021-2025, the latest report from Simba Information.

Social science and humanities (SSH) publishing sales fell an estimated 1.5% in 2020 after posting flat results in 2019. Currency movements are estimated to have inflated sales in 2020. The SSH publishing market decline is estimated at 2.5% in constant currency. The market has not posted overall sales growth since 2017 when it grew 1.9%.

Now, after more than a year of coronavirus lockdowns and restrictions, academic and government research budgets are poised to tighten and hinder growth in 2021 and 2022.

However, in the long-term, research in social sciences will have a vast amount to contribute to resolving the massive challenges arising out of the COVID-19 pandemic. A better understanding of human and societal behavior is required to develop effective strategies and policies to reduce viral transmission.

When it comes to infection prevention and control at both the local and international levels, a fuller understanding of areas of study such as politics, international relations, philosophy, economics, psychology, sociology and ethics have all been suggested as meriting urgent consideration by researchers. Behavioral psychology will be critical to solve issues ranging from anti-mask movements to vaccine denial. It is COVID-19’s ability to exploit particular aspects of human behavior that allows it to continue to spread from person-to-person.

Some of these areas now have an opportunity to attract research dollars, and in turn spur growth in information and tools geared at these areas of research.

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the entire scholarly publishing industry has been to accelerate the transitions that were already taking place, whether it be the move to digital, open access or the push for tools and services to diversity reliance on revenue from content.

Global Social Sciences & Humanities Publishing 2021-2025 provides an overview and financial outlook for the global SSH publishing market based on specific research and analysis of the leading competitors’ performance. This research was conducted in conjunction with a larger study of the overall market for professional publishing.

Sichuan:De la erradicación de la pobreza a la revitalización rural

CHENGDU, China, 9 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Noticia ofrecida por China Report:

<img id="prnejpgd8ableft" title="Local residents in Sichuan shake off the shackles of poverty by moving into new houses from inhospitable places." border="0" alt="Local residents in Sichuan shake off the shackles of poverty by moving into new houses from inhospitable places." align="middle" imagelabel="General"…

CHENGDU, China, 9 de marzo de 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Noticia ofrecida por China Report:

Local residents in Sichuan shake off the shackles of poverty by moving into new houses from inhospitable places.

 

El primer ministro chino Li Keqiang anunció que todos los residentes rurales pobres restantes, que totalizaron 5,51 millones a principios de 2020, fueron sacados de la pobreza a finales del año pasado, al igual que todos los 52 condados pobres restantes del país, al entregar el Informe sobre el Trabajo del Gobierno el 5 de marzo. La provincia de Sichuan, en el suroeste de China, una vez un importante campo de batalla para la erradicación de la pobreza, contribuyó significativamente al logro.

Del total de 183 regiones a nivel de condado en Sichuan, 161 estaban afectadas por la pobreza y 45 de ellas luchaban en pobreza extrema. El año pasado, 6,25 millones de pobres en 11.501 aldeas de 88 condados empobrecidos superaron la pobreza.

Abuluoha, una vez «el rincón más pobre de China«, estaba entre las 11.501 aldeas. En idioma Yi, «abuluoha» significa «un valle profundo en la montaña» o «un lugar fuera del límite». Se encuentra en un valle a lo largo del río Jinsha en el condado de Butuo, prefectura autónoma de Liangshan Yi. La ubicación geológica hizo que el pueblo fuera inaccesible por medios modernos de transporte. Los aldeanos tuvieron que trepar por las montañas y acantilados o usar tirolinas para cruzar ríos para ver el mundo exterior.

Los cambios se produjeron en 2019, cuando Sichuan prometió hacer accesibles todas las aldeas con carreteras pavimentadas para finales de año. En junio, los vehículos de ingeniería llegaron a Abuluoha.

La construcción de la carretera de apenas 3,8 km de largo a la aldea fue un desafío desalentador, ya que la mayor parte estaba cerca de acantilados empinados. Además de los principales expertos, Sichuan logró que el helicóptero de transporte pesado Mil Mi-26 viniera a ayudar. «Nos sorprendió ver una excavadora saliendo del interior de un avión», recordó un aldeano que estaba a sólo 20 metros de donde aterrizó el helicóptero.

La finalización de la carretera un año más tarde marcó que todas las aldeas administrativas en Sichuan eran accesibles por vehículos a motor. Gracias a la carretera, los residentes locales se despiden de la pobreza, con sus ingresos creciendo exponencialmente.

Poner fin a la pobreza no es la línea de la meta, pero marca un nuevo comienzo. El 25 de febrero, China dio a conocer la nueva administración nacional para la vitalización rural para reemplazar al antiguo State Council Leading Group Office of Poverty Alleviation and Development. Detrás de la reorganización está el cambio histórico del enfoque de China en el mundo rural. Sichuan ya ha hecho movimientos para vitalizar las zonas rurales.

La prosperidad industrial es clave para la estrategia de vitalización rural de China. Como provincia agrícola, Sichuan comenzó a acelerar el ritmo de modernización agrícola. Hasta ahora, Liangshan ha planeado construir 118 parques industriales agrícolas modernos para proporcionar empleos a más del 80 por ciento de los antiguos hogares empobrecidos. 

Los agricultores del condado Dayi de Sichuan ahora hacen trabajos agrícolas en la «nube». Zhu Lisha, un granjero local, dijo que todo el trabajo se puede terminar en su teléfono móvil. Al hacer clic en un icono de la aplicación, se mete en un mapa de sus tierras de cultivo. La aplicación cuenta con cuatro secciones, que son medios agrícolas de producción, trabajo agrícola, cosecha y finanzas. «Puedes hacer un pedido por teléfono y tener un equipo especial para hacer el trabajo», dijo Zhu, agregando que incluso es innecesario ir a las tierras de cultivo para hacer el trabajo.

Otra parte de las estrategias de vitalización rural de Sichuan es la construcción digital del campo. En 2020, el galán tibetano Ding Zhen se volvió viral en Internet, haciendo que su ciudad natal del condado de Litang en Garze saltase a la fama durante la noche. La aldea de Hanfan en Litang solía enfrentarse a una grave desertificación. En 2016, la aldea comenzó a combinar la restauración ambiental con el desarrollo turístico sobre una base de prueba mediante la plantación de especies de flores resistentes a la sequía en una tierra que mide 53,3 hectáreas de superficie. Junto al océano de flores, se construyó un complejo temático de 13,3 hectáreas en la pradera. Mientras preservaba la ecología, la granja de flores y el complejo temático de la pradera llevaron los ingresos turísticos a los residentes locales.

En el futuro, los esfuerzos focales de Sichuan en la vitalización de las zonas rurales incluirán el avance de las reformas del sistema de derechos de propiedad colectiva, el impulso de la economía colectiva rural de nuevo tipo, la exploración de fuentes sostenibles para los ingresos de los agricultores, el fomento de la cooperación en la agricultura, la modernización de las cadenas industriales y de suministro de los parques industriales agrícolas, la ampliación del uso de nuevas tecnologías y equipos en la agricultura y la mejora del medio ambiente en las zonas rurales.

Mientras preservaba la ecología, la granja de flores y el complejo temático de la pradera llevaron los ingresos turísticos a los residentes locales.

En el futuro, los esfuerzos focales de Sichuan en la vitalización de las zonas rurales incluirán el avance de las reformas del sistema de derechos de propiedad colectiva, el impulso de la economía colectiva rural de nuevo tipo, la exploración de fuentes sostenibles para los ingresos de los agricultores, el fomento de la cooperación en la agricultura, la modernización de las cadenas industriales y de suministro de los parques industriales agrícolas, la ampliación del uso de nuevas tecnologías y equipos en la agricultura y la mejora del medio ambiente en las zonas rurales.

STAMFORD, Conn., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — KAYAK, the company that pioneered flight metasearch in 2004, is reimagining the in-travel experience. Opening in April 2021, KAYAK Miami Beach brings the power of the KAYAK app to the guest stay.  Travelers can make advance reservations at the new boutique hotel via http://www.kayakmb.com.

«We see a big opportunity to apply our audience and technology to the accommodations space to level the playing field for independent hotels,» said Steve Hafner, CEO of KAYAK. «Our Miami Beach property will serve as our hotel design lab and deepen our knowledge of hospitality and showcase our growing capabilities.»

Guests of KAYAK Miami Beach will enjoy numerous innovations during their stay. All check-ins/outs are contactless through either KAYAK’s mobile app or a digital lobby kiosk.  The KAYAK app will provide 24/7 access to hotel staff and support, notifications of on-property events, room-ready alerts, itinerary management, housekeeping requests and more. Every room features a mix of tech-forward amenities from connected TVs to Marshall speakers.

Behind the scenes, the property is a design lab for KAYAK to build and refine its accommodation technology. The backend software, currently in early development, is intended to help independent hotels leverage the KAYAK app and capitalize on the latest advances. It will include integrations to cloud-based property management systems, wireless lock and access controls, and sophisticated distribution channel management. KAYAK will incorporate consumer and pricing insights from the billions of travel queries that it processes annually.

The technology is being developed in partnership with Life House, a vertically-integrated hotel brand and management company. Life House will help shape the on-site guest experience, manage hotel operations, and enable guests to interact with staff as much or as little as they prefer.

«Our mission is to create value for independent lifestyle hotels and their owners,» said Rami Zeidan, Founder and CEO of Life House.  «Together with KAYAK, we can accelerate our leadership in this quickly evolving space.»

«We’re excited to reimagine accommodations with Life House,» said Hafner. «KAYAK Miami Beach provides a playground for guests and our development teams alike.»

KAYAK Miami Beach is the first KAYAK hotel but may not be the last. KAYAK will be exploring additional locations to help refine its software for different property sizes and types.

About KAYAK Miami Beach
Located in Miami Beach’s cultural hub of Collins Park and housed in a 1934 landmark art-deco building, the hotel’s design draws inspiration from the local Streamline Moderne architecture with bold design elements that marry the Deco-esque patterning with aerial crop and flight patterns, a modern nod to KAYAK’s history. 

A wrap-around public rooftop area contains the on-property modern Middle Eastern bar and restaurant concept, Layla.  Powered by KAYAK’s sister brand OpenTable, the restaurant will introduce diners to the latest advances in restaurant technology.

Reservations are bookable now for stays starting on April 11, 2021 with introductory pricing. Standard rates are around $229 for a Cozy King.  Additional information for KAYAK Miami Beach, including full buyouts of the hotel, can be found at http://www.kayakmb.com.

First «No Kill» Fertilizer Launches

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Just in time for gardening season, Johnny Appleseed Organic is proud to announce their newest product launch, ClimateGard™, the first no kill, premium, all-purpose, organic fertilizer with sustainable packaging. ClimateGard will be available for…

JACKSONVILLE, Fla., March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — Just in time for gardening season, Johnny Appleseed Organic is proud to announce their newest product launch, ClimateGard™, the first no kill, premium, all-purpose, organic fertilizer with sustainable packaging. ClimateGard will be available for preorder through an Indiegogo campaign beginning March 9, 2021 and purchase through the campaign starting March 16, 2021 until April 22, 2021. Post campaign purchases can be made directly through the website after the campaign ends.

Supporters can purchase a 7.5-pound bag for $35 or a 15-pound bag for $45, plus shipping.  Other support options include: $125 to Adopt a School Garden, $350 for the Garden Club Symposium Package, and $500 to Support a Community Garden.

ClimateGard was designed for climate conscious gardeners, small farmers and home gardeners who care about the earth, where their food comes from, and want to aid in climate change reversal. Most organic fertilizers derive their nutrients from inedible slaughterhouse and fishery material like bone meal, feather meal and fish emulsion. ClimateGard’s no kill formula sources essential micronutrients, humic acid, silica, living bacteria and fungi from the most ethical, sustainable sources available. ClimateGard’s blend of solar processed poultry manure, fossilized seabird guano, bat guano and sunflower hull ash provides essential nutrients like nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium, calcium, iron and magnesium in their most bioavailable forms.

ClimateGard also offers sustainable packing and is delivered in an organic cotton bag with a compostable inner liner. By relying on reusable pallets made of recycled plastics, Johnny Appleseed Organic is doing their part to cut down any contribution to the waste stream. In addition, the Johnny Appleseed Organic website’s Climate Farm Channel and social media channels (such as YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook) are great driving forces for sharing useful content in a variety of areas including how to repurpose the ClimateGard product bag for household items such as oven mitts, aprons, and more.

ClimateGard is the first and only organic fertilizer scientifically designed to supercharge the soil-building effects of Climate Farming™. Every fertilizer pellet contains a synergistic blend of micronutrients, living bacteria and fungi, to form the most complete plant and soil health package on the market. ClimateGard’s™ ingredients are derived from ethical and environmentally friendly sources, the unique formula combines all the amendments used in Climate Farming into a single, convenient package.

Every product purchased directly funds the Climate Farming operation at the Johnny Appleseed Organic Village, located near the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge in Georgia.  Johnny Appleseed is dedicated to being a resource for anyone wanting to convert their garden or farm into a carbon-guzzling oasis.

Using the product alongside the practice of Climate Farming, Johnny Appleseed Organic aims to revolutionize the growing of delicious, nutritious, chemical-free food while promoting environmental well-being. ClimateGard is more than a great fertilizer, it is a part of a bigger cause to battle climate change and alter the conventional agriculture growing practices through Climate Farming.  Based on existing research, climate scientists estimate that an acre of Climate Farmed land can sequester as much atmospheric carbon annually as a healthy forest of the same size. Climate Farming differs from many organic farms because it doesn’t use the same ecologically harmful growing practices that result in uncontrolled runoff, depleted topsoil, and the deconstruction of animal habitats.

ABOUT JOHNNY APPLSEED ORGANIC

Johnny Appleseed Organic operates a sustainable living development near Folkston, GA, where they pioneer the next step in the organic food revolution called Climate Farming™. Combining best practices from permaculture, syntropic planting and regenerative agriculture, they are creating a new way to grow great-tasting, healthy produce while simultaneously improving the environment. The Johnny Appleseed Organic Village is nestled within the Okefenokee National Wildlife Refuge, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Surrounded by tumbling Spanish moss and towering longleaf pine trees, we are constantly reminded of the important role sustainable agriculture plays in protecting vulnerable ecosystems. Their most recent development is the launch of ClimateGard™, the first ever «no kill» fertilizer created to facilitate Climate Farming™.

NEW YORK, March 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The Center for Active Design (CfAD) today announced the 2021 winners of the Fitwel Best in Building Health Awards®, its flagship recognition program that identifies firms enhancing human health via Fitwel®, the world’s leading certification system committed to building health for all. This year’s winners were identified based on Fitwel’s 2020 project data, which captured a year marked by unprecedented challenges due to the global pandemic, met with impressive agility and responsiveness by leaders of the global real estate industry.

Fitwel is a rigorous, third-party healthy building certification system operated by CfAD that sets the industry standard for evidence-based strategies to promote positive health outcomes for occupants and communities.

«This year’s awards reflect the significant growth of Fitwel as our new and existing global users make progress implementing health-promoting strategies to meet the unique challenges of the moment,» said Joanna Frank, president and CEO of CfAD. «We are entering a new era, one where health is a defining factor in real estate investment decisions. The rising use of Fitwel is creating more detailed and sophisticated property-specific data sets that our users can leverage to respond to shifting demands and remain at the forefront of the healthy building movement.»

Each year, up to two winners are selected by CfAD for special recognition given their exceptional leadership in the field. This year’s special recognition awards feature leaders who have risen to meet the challenges of COVID-19 by advancing the development and implementation of the Fitwel Viral Response (VR) Module.

  • Industry Thought Leadership: Fitwel’s Viral Response Academic Advisory Group, a team of 12 health experts from leading institutions such as Columbia University Irving Medical Center, Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, and Queensland University of Technology, for their collaborative efforts to rapidly analyze scientific research and advise on the creation of Fitwel’s VR module.
  • Industry-Leading Company: BentallGreenOak, for its leadership in applying Fitwel at scale, including rapid rollout of the Viral Response module. Within three months of the VR module’s release, BGO received Fitwel Viral Response Certification for its entity-level policies and obtained Viral Response Approval for 17 properties across nine cities. BGO is also being recognized for its support and collaboration in exploring industry-wide investor sentiment about health and wellness trends.

Bon Ku, MD, Director, Health Design Lab, Thomas Jefferson University and a member of the Center for Active Design’s Board of Directors, said, «COVID-19 thrust public health into the limelight, and increased awareness of how the spaces where we live, work, study, and socialize can impact our health and well-being. In a moment of pandemic crisis, health research became paramount—and the Fitwel Academic Advisory Groups rose to the challenge to craft a science-driven response using the best available data at hand. We are proud to have contributed to the pressing need to mitigate viral transmission in buildings, and we look forward to supporting the Center for Active Design’s efforts to further evidence-based design now and into the future.»

Best in Building Health winners are identified through rigorous analysis of every Fitwel project. The following awards recognize all-time achievements since Fitwel’s public launch in 2017:

  • Fitwel Excellence Award: Kilroy Realty Corporation, for securing the most Fitwel certifications of all time, demonstrating how its real estate portfolio has been optimized for human health. This is the third year in a row that Kilroy has achieved this distinction by certifying its assets at scale—as well as proactively recertifying its projects.
  • Fitwel Promise Award: Wells Fargo, for the most Fitwel registrations of all time, reflecting its commitment to advancing health across its portfolio of assets. Wells Fargo is leading the financial industry in its efforts to quantify the impact of design and policy on the well-being of employees and customers.
  • Fitwel Impact Award: Alexandria Real Estate Equities, Inc., for achieving the highest scoring project of all time with Alexandria LaunchLabs® at the Alexandria Center® in Cambridge, Massachusetts. This is the second year in a row that Alexandria has held this distinction, demonstrating their unrivaled commitment to optimizing projects to advance health.

Richard Henderson, Head of Corporate Properties, Wells Fargo said, «Wells Fargo is committed to reducing our carbon footprint while continuing to design, build and operate spaces that add to the well-being of our employees and customers. We envision leveraging Fitwel to engage stakeholders to help drive continuous improvement, as well as raise awareness of the benefits of people-centric design and operations. Fitwel is well suited for this purpose due to its accessible language and ease of applicability over a large and diverse portfolio.»

This year’s full list of winners reflects growing geographic diversity—including projects from China, Australia and Brazil—confirming the rapid expansion of Fitwel’s global reach. Fitwel data shows a global real estate sector increasingly eager to demonstrate its health and well-being credentials to build trust among building occupants and positively impact human health. Third-party studies are reinforcing the importance of these initiatives, with a recent Massachusetts Institute of Technology report finding that healthy buildings generate rental premiums of 4.4 to 7.7 percent, on average, as compared with their non-health-promoting peers.

The complete list of Fitwel Best in Building Health 2021 Winners is provided below. Best in Building Health winners will be honored at a virtual event on March 25 that will showcase data and trends in the healthy building movement and feature key speakers from winning companies focused on the increasing role of health and wellness in real estate investment, design, and operations.
