Washington, DC, April 21, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- April 21, 2021 (WASHINGTON, DC) On eve of the 51st anniversary of Earth Day the Diesel Technology Forum issued the following statement:

President Biden has brought a new emphasis on reducing greenhouse gas emissions and tackling the climate challenge. Meeting this challenge will not have simple one-size fits all solutions, nor uniform timetables. Even under the most optimistic scenarios, transition to new fuels and technologies in the transportation sector will not be linear and will take considerable time to reach commercial scale and market acceptance. In the meantime, the further improvement and turnover to new generation of advanced diesel technologies and the expanded use of biobased diesel fuels will ensure steady progress in reducing both greenhouse gas and other emissions across wide sectors of U.S. economy, said Allen Schaeffer, executive director of the Diesel Technology Forum; a not-for-profit educational organization.

Diesel technology continues to evolve to further meet todays customer demands for more efficiency, greater performance and lower emission. As we move toward a low-carbon sustainable future, diesel technology is being defined by four trends: increasing energy efficiency, achieving even lower emissions, expanded use of biobased diesel fuels, and hybridization. Considerable progress in each area is happening today helping ports, cities, communities and the entire goods movement system meet climate and clean air challenges, noted Schaeffer.

Across the board, todays generation of advanced diesel technologies are more energy efficient and lower in emissions than previous generations, and remain the technology of choice in key sectors like commercial trucking, marine, agriculture, construction and freight rail applications. Coupled with growing success using biobased diesel fuels, diesel engines are contributing substantially already to low-carbon goods movement in America.

In California, the results of using low-carbon biobased diesel fuels in efficient diesel engines is clear: In 2019, Californias use of biodiesel and renewable diesel fuels eliminated 6.6 million tons of CO2. Meanwhile, use of electric cars and trucks in the state resulted in only 2.7 million tons of CO2 reductions in 2019 almost one third of the emissions reductions delivered by diesel engines using biodiesel fuels. Renewable diesel fuels contribution even edged out the reductions delivered by ethanol. Since the states Low Carbon Fuel Standard (LCFS) program began in 2011, biodiesel and renewable diesel fuel have eliminated more than 25 million tons of CO2, according to the California Air Resources Board (CARB).

Even as manufacturers explore other fuels and technology options, continued investments in diesel are essential to meet customer demand and are strong indicators about the future for advanced diesel engines. Today, 13 states are home to heavy-duty diesel engine manufacturing, supporting $4 trillion in U.S. economic activity and more than 1.25 million American jobs. It is clear that diesel technologies are and will remain a key piece of the global transportation and goods movement systems for decades to come, said Schaeffer.

Today, diesel remains the dominant technology in long-haul trucking, powering 97 percent of Class 8 big-rig trucks in the United States. A growing percentage of diesel-powered commercial trucks rely on the newest-generation diesel technologies, which deliver near-zero emissions performance while using less fuel. Consider that since 2011, these more than 4.9 million new-generation commercial diesel trucks have already delivered reductions of greenhouse gases (carbon dioxide (CO2)) in an amount equivalent to eliminating 26 million light-duty vehicles from the fleet or converting those to all electric vehicles. The use of new-generation diesel trucks has removed more than 18 million tons of nitrogen oxides (NOx) and 126 million tons of CO2, compared to previous generations.

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) and National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) estimate that the Commercial Vehicle Fuel Economy and Greenhouse Gas Reduction Standards Phase 1 rules saved 270 million tons CO2 and 530 million barrels of oil between 2014 and 2018, and that the Phase 2 rules will save another 1 billion tons of CO2 and nearly 2 billion barrels of oil between 2021 and 2027. Research commissioned by the Diesel Technology Forum confirms that the majority of these significant benefits will be delivered by more efficient diesel trucks.

New diesel trucks are so clean that it would take more than 60 new-generation diesel trucks to equal the emissions from one 1988 model truck. Even further progress for lower emissions is on the horizon, as truck and engine manufacturers work with the U.S. EPA on the Clean Truck Initiative, developing tomorrows generation of diesel engines. From coupling with hybrid-electric technology and battery-storage systems, to pushing thermal efficiency boundaries, to advanced waste-heat recovery systems, to utilizing high-quality biobased diesel fuels, new-generation advanced diesel technology is uniquely suited to enable commercial trucking to contribute to our sustainable future.

Diesel engines are the workhorses of the global economy. In every corner of the world, diesel engines make progress possible today; the planting and harvesting of agricultural products, the movement of people and goods, the mining of essential minerals, the delivery of clean drinking water, or power demands for reliable back up power. For many of these applications, diesel engines are and will be the only practical solution for decades to come.

When Oklahomas weather turns severe, an early warning can mean the difference between life and death.

In just a few days, people in Oologah will mark the 30th anniversary of an F4 tornado that caused millions of dollars in damage. That weather event isnt remembered for the lives lost, but for the lives saved.

Keeping you safe has been part of News On 6s mission for more than 70 years. And that was never clearer than on April 26, 1991 when a powerful tornado cut through Oologah.

News On 6 had just launched new technology that gave everyone in the storms path a 43-minute warning.

This important tool made its debut on News On 6 just in time just one day before the Oologah tornado outbreak and would be put to the test in a big way.

David Oldham created Pathfinder.

"We used to track storms in the weather office with a grease pencil and a highway map," Oldham said. "My thought was, 'well, why can't we try it with something where we can point to the radar then extrapolate the position of the storm in the future and see which cities would be affected from there.'"

The storm produced an F-4 tornado and destroyed more than 60 homes. It caused $12 million in damage to the Oologah-Talala school buildings. Although the damage was extensive, no lives were lost.

It is, in part, because of Pathfinder and Oldham.

Pathfinder was working like a charm that night. It was just incredible, the amount of warning we were able to give people, Oldham reflected. After the fact, going out into the field and hearing people say, Jim Giles and Pathfinder saved my life [was] an incredible experience.

Almost three decades after the storms of April 26, 1991, Oklahomans still count on technology such as Pathfinder to stay ahead of the storm.

Its something Oklahomans deal with every spring, but they can have a little more certainty, Oldham stated. "It still gives me some pride that I was able to come up with the idea, develop it and get it implemented.

Once youve figured out the logistics to get in and get out, you will have more homework to do. Dont expect your favorite airport restaurants or lounges to be operating normally. Before leaving home, check your airport website to see whats open near your terminal; if your options are lacking, pack a meal. Likewise, when you arrive at your destination, make sure to check the websites for the restaurants and tourist sites that you hope to visit for their hours. The travel industry is far from returning to normal.

To make traveling smoother, airlines may require travelers to present a vaccine passport, digital documentation proving that they have been vaccinated. Airlines have been testing mobile health apps including CommonPass, ICC AOKpass, VeriFLY and the International Air Transport Associations travel pass app to ensure travelers can present their health data in a secure, verifiable way.

Most of the apps will, in theory, work like this: If you get vaccinated at a medical facility, the app connects with the database of that facility to retrieve your information. The app then loads a QR code, which is a digital bar code, verifying that the vaccine was administered. You could then show that bar code at the airport check-in counter, the boarding gate or immigration control.

Too much is still up in the air with vaccine passports for widespread use, Mr. Harteveldt said. Airlines, government agencies and cruise lines are still testing the apps to determine which products are the most reliable and easy to use. Things could get chaotic if different parties require people to download different passport apps, and many experiments may fail. Vaccine passports have also set off a fierce political debate over the legality of requiring digital credentials for a vaccine that is ostensibly voluntary. (The Biden administration has said it would not push for mandatory vaccination credentials or a federal vaccine database.)

So the best we can do with vaccine passports right now is nothing. Dont upload your data to any of the apps just yet but when it comes time to travel, do check your airlines website for updates on vaccine passports and follow the instructions.

The rest of your travel tech prep will largely be the same as it was in pre-Covid times. Pack a spare battery pack, charging cables and a safety pin to eject your SIM card. Then do the following:

Unlock your phone. Your phone must be unlocked to work with foreign SIM cards. Many newer smartphones come unlocked by default, but you should call your carrier to confirm that your device will work with other wireless carriers.

Buy a foreign SIM card. If youre traveling abroad, you can avoid paying expensive international roaming fees to your carrier by temporarily using a foreign phone plan. When you arrive at your destination, you can usually buy a SIM card at the airport or a cellphone store and insert that into your phone; you can also order a SIM card online and have it delivered to your home before you travel. (Some newer smartphones work with eSIMs, which are essentially a digital SIM card to add a separate phone plan. Ive had mixed experiences, including eSIMs that failed to activate when I reached my destination, so I prefer physical SIMs.)

How to Use Technology to Prepare for Travel During the Coronavirus Pandemic - The New York Times

Disruptive and assistive technology offer new opportunities for everyone, but these opportunities are specifically more significant for people living with disability (PLWD). Frasil technology is designed to allow people with disabilities to access the Internet in those terms. Frasil offers PLWD a choice and a voice to embrace their personal preferences around most aspects of their lives and let them be heard. The portal reduces isolation and dramatically improves communication.

Fran Killoway is the Executive Chairman, Inventor, and Founder of Frasil Group Pty Ltd. Frans background in Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), coupled with neural networking is not traditional. It is hard for people to believe that the 68-year-old female has brought such changes to the traditional computer logic and then added the complication of making AI and ML work for most PLWDs. The last 10 years have taught Fran to learn that unless you live in the shoes of a PLWD, it is very hard to get technology like Frasil to work for them.

Frasil is demonstrating to the industry that artificial intelligence can be used for good and is not something to be afraid of. The company also accepts that Artificial Intelligence will become a core part of technology in the future. Even though Artificial Intelligence is seen as a threat, in Frasils case, it is used to allow PLWD the ability to access technology on their personal terms. Inside Frasil, most of the data comes from artificial intelligence interactions. It drives the future of the company and ensures the Frasil technology continually adapts to the needs of each PLWD by achieving a sense of independence for every user on their terms. These technological developments wouldnt be a reality without AI, ML, and Quantum.

Frans journey, as a professional, for the past ten years made her learn consistent lessons that awarded her with achievements. She has had the privilege to lead very strong teams with vulnerability and humility. The experience contributed to Frans strength and courage while making tough decisions. According to her, being vulnerable is all about the risks she took while building technology at the core of Frasil. Fran believes that as a leader when one puts themselves in the market, it is impossible to control the outcome. Humility is paramount to Fran and gives her the strength to recognize that nobody gets all the answers. She is comfortable relying on her team, which has talented people. Fran acknowledges that even though she is 69she knows very little.

Primal challenges always remind Fran of Einsteins famous quote, The definition of insanity is doing something over and over again and expecting a different result. By continually engaging with PLWD for over ten years, Frasil learned how to better connect theories and knowledge to reduce miscommunications.

The four pivotal challenges that Fran faced are listed below,

Fran opines that displaying an excellent strategic vision, for all stakeholders, is vital to ensure a strong client focus. It helps to create an atmosphere of reciprocal trust which is mandatory for innovative leaders. She believes in displaying absolute ethics around doing what is right for Frasil, the stakeholders, and PLWD. Fran says that as a leader, she encourages stakeholders to put their faith in the companys culture to magnify upward growth. She highlights that both persuasive and negotiation skills are also vital attributes reinforced through continuous reflection.

Fran mentions that the simplest definition of appealing to Frasils audience is to go back to the very basics of why or what problem the Frasil technology is solving. Fran remarks that she likes to make PLWD feel like they are the centre of Frasil technology as individuals, and not as a group. Frasil is then able to start understanding each users emotions because the company observes PLWD on their terms emotionally. Fran underlines the fact that Frasil also encourages all types of feedback and is obliged to make suggested changes to each users feedback within 72 hours.

Fran unfolds that disruptive technologies are the key enablers for disruptive innovation because they act as a driving force behind the altercation of technologies like Frasil. She adds that artificial intelligence has the potential to greatly increase the efficiency of the existing economy. But companies like Frasil, that lead the way in the use of disruptive technologies, may have an even larger impact on innovation. Fran notifies that innovative companies see the likes of disruptive technologies as a new way of doing things that can reshape the nature of innovation, process, and the future organization of research and development.

Fran believes that artificial intelligence is going to change the world more than anything else. She highlights that artificial intelligence allows most problems to be reduced to their simplest starting point before they become complex solutions that allow for many versions of themselves across many applications in diverse industries. Fran concludes by saying that regardless of all the views, the impact artificial intelligence has and will have on everybodys lives is very hard to ignore.

Frasil: Deciphering Technology to Reduce Isolation and Improve Communication of PLWDs - Analytics Insight

CINCINNATI, April 14, 2021 /PRNewswire/ --The Blacks in Technology Foundation, a tech-focused community dedicated to increasing the representation and participation of Black people in the technology industry, and Apprenti, a national leader in delivering registered tech apprenticeship programs to place non-traditional hires into in-demand tech careers, today announced a partnership aimed to increase Black representation across the tech industry.

There currently are three million available tech jobs in America, but the nation's colleges produce only 80,000 computer science graduates each year. On top of that, too many employers only recruit from certain schools, over-rely on college graduates, and generally don't seek to recruit from the broadest pool of available talent. This practice has led to Blacks and other groups being woefully underrepresented in technology roles.

"Both job seekers and companies need to expand their thinking when it comes to job placement and hiring. We're already seeing a shift in IT job requirements away from four-year and advanced college degrees in mathematics and computer science towards practitioner level skills," said Dennis Schultz, Executive Director of the Blacks in Technology Foundation. "The only real question is, can the candidate do the work required? We see Apprenti as a practical solution to the challenge of filling key IT roles."

Together, Blacks In Technology Foundation and Apprenti will collaborate to expose more Blacks to the tech sector, increase access to tech training opportunities and, ultimately, help Black people secure rewarding careers in technology. Over the last five years, Apprenti has worked to build a reliable pipeline for underrepresented groups, bridging the tech talent gap and giving diverse talent with nontraditional backgrounds the opportunity to apprentice at tech and consumer companies. Black people make up 15 percent of all apprentices, and more than 80 percent of these apprentices have been hired on full time.

"While the lack of representation in the tech workforce is well documented, there's still plenty of work to do when it comes to building systems that offer equal opportunity," said Jennifer Carlson, Co-Founder and Executive Director, Apprenti. "Blacks in Technology Foundation is making real progress when it comes to diversifying tech talent, and we're proud to offer a proven program that will strengthen these efforts."

About the Blacks In Technology FoundationThe Blacks In Technology Foundation is a 501(c)(3) non-profit and the largest global community of Black technologists with a combined membership and social media reach of over 50,000. Membership in Blacks In Technology is free. The Blacks In Technology (BIT) Foundation's goal and mission is to "stomp the divide" between Black workers and the rest of the tech industry and to fundamentally influence and effect change. BIT intends to level the playing field through training, education, networking, and mentorship with the support of allies, partners, sponsors, and members.

About ApprentiWTIA Workforce Institute (dba Apprenti) is a 501(c)3 non-profit, delivering registered apprenticeship programs to bridge the tech talent and diversity gaps. By adapting the time-tested model of apprenticeship, Apprenti helps employers meet evolving workforce needs and trains future tech workers with an emphasis on underrepresented groups including women, people of color, veterans, and people with disabilities. Apprenti's programs are industry recognized and federally approved for employers with tech talent needs across the United States. Apprentices receive two to five months of full-time, industry recognized training, then begin one-year of paid on-the-job training with one of the program's hiring partners. Apprenti is partially funded through a U.S. Department of Labor (DOL) contract, as well as other funders nationwide.

The Blacks in Technology Foundation Partners with Apprenti to Increase Black Representation Across the Tech Industry - PRNewswire

April 14, 2021 Curtin University and DUG Technology Ltd have entered into a decade-long partnership to collaborate in the fields of high-performance computing (HPC), education and research.

This partnership between industry and academia will accelerate research areas of national significance, including astrophysics, biomedicine and meteorology. Focusing on the needs of industry, DUG and Curtin will develop green technologies that dramatically reduce the carbon footprint of supercomputing. Creating and realising opportunities for education and training in high-performance computing will also be a high priority.

As part of this agreement DUG will provide:

scalable HPC, storage and archive capabilities; support for HPC education, code onboarding and optimisation; and proprietary DUG Insight processing and visualisation tools to support Curtins involvement in the Square Kilometre Array (SKA) Project.

DUG founder and Managing Director, Dr Matthew Lamont, a Curtin graduate, said the agreement highlighted the alignment of DUG and Curtin over several years, and the value that high-performance computing and associated expertise can provide to tertiary institutions.

The alliance is a significant vote of confidence in DUGs technology and a perfect example of our ability to provide cost effective and reliable HPC for the tertiary education sectors specialised research and data analysis needs, Dr Matthew Lamont said. Our solution is unparalleled as we can also provide education, onboarding support, and code optimisation services. Curtins Deputy Vice-Chancellor Research, Professor Chris Moran said Curtin is Western Australias largest tertiary institution and as a research-intensive organisation had a large and growing need for a diverse set of high-performance computing solutions.

Curtin University has been at the forefront of computational and data sciences in Australia for almost two decades, Professor Chris Moran said. The exciting new partnership with DUG will complement the important work Curtin does through the national Pawsey Supercomputing Centre.

The DUG-Curtin partnership has already yielded significant results in radio astronomy and astrophysics, connected to the 2 billion international SKA Project, half of which will be constructed in Western Australia.

DUGs expertise in software engineering and code optimisation, combined with their large-scale supercomputing facilities and the deep expertise of Curtins astronomers, has led to exciting new results in the search for the first stars and galaxies in the early Universe. This requires looking for weak signals that originated more than 13 billion years ago.

Furthermore, using data collected by radio telescopes, DUG and Curtin have co-developed algorithms that can detect and monitor space junk and satellites in Earth orbit. This is increasingly important as the space environment becomes ever more congested and contested.

John Curtin Distinguished Professor and astronomer from the Curtin University node of the International Centre for Radio Astronomy Research, Professor Steven Tingay said Curtins partnership with DUG is advancing both fundamental physics and highly practical applications in the real world.

From looking at the early Universe, soon after the Big Bang, to what satellites in Earths orbit are doing minute by minute, all requires a lot of time on powerful computers, Professor Tingay said.

Over the next decade, DUG and Curtin aim to replicate this success across a range of different research fields, train significant numbers of undergraduate and postgraduate students in high-performance computing, and employ Curtins expertise in renewables to find new energy sources for powering future DUG data centres.

DUG Technology, Curtin University Enter Into Supercomputing Partnership - HPCwire

Nokias technology and strategy chief Nishant Batra said the Covid-19 pandemic triggered a fast-paced evolution toward digitalization, with evolutions in cloud and wireless access as two key enablers.

We were all going toward a digital society at a rapid pace, but this is exponentially gaining traction now, said Batra, chief strategy and technology officer at Nokia, during a virtual media round table Tuesday.

He pointed to a 30% increase in overall network traffic in the U.S., businesses shifting work from home policies, and behavioral changes with digital tools in focus and enabled by 5G.

The take up of 5G technology has been one of the fastest compared to earlier generations, and is expected to sustain, Batra noted. For example, he said almost 150,000 sites are being deployed between North and Latin America, with 13 operator 5G rollouts in the regions, and a shift toward standalone 5G. In the U.S., its expected four out of five people will be covered by 5G by years end.

In addition to take up of 5G wireless access, as well as early-stage research on 6G for consumer and enterprise use, the other critical enabler from Nokias standpoint is the cloud and relates to the role of the edge for enterprise.

Batra expects to see a very exciting value chain come up, citing opportunities for workloads, security, infrastructure and real estate all to get the enterprise connected.

RELATED: Nokias mobile network head ready to face open RAN competition

I firmly believe this decade will be about really putting the cloud out there in the far edge and possibly the micro edge to enable the cyber-physical landscape coming together, he said. It is also important that not just we as suppliers, but the entire industry is coming to the realization that the future is in software.

It's also about ensuring that software can deployed in a fast-paced way, focused on the use cases enterprises care about, he added. Part of this involves Network as a Service (NaaS), and a future shift Batra pegged in the next 5 to 7 years, from thinking about the network as delivering service level agreements (SLAs) to providing business outcomes.

Operators are currently building out coverage and capacity with 5G networks, but ahead Batra sees critical networks, hyper local private networks for enterprise and industrial adoption. Those wont take off until software agility is developed, alongside adoption of as-a-service business models, he said during prepared remarks at Nokias virtual event on digitalization in the Americas.

Batra also pointed to continued changes in network architecture.

As 5G evolves towards 6G, disaggregated networks will become the norm, not an exception and we need to be prepared for that.

RELATED: 6G doesnt mean ditching 5G but evolving to next G

Three-fourths of enterprise traffic by 2025 will happen on the edge, he said, citing a Gartner study, with compute moving closer to the use case at the edge, far edge and micro edge. Major cloud webscalers have joined the party and use cases will need to flow end-to-end, which is where Batra said network slicing comes into play.

Network slicing business models

Batra called network slicing a fundamental requirement for monetizing the network.

He firmly believes it will start as a capability-driven business model where slices are segmented and represented to potential buyers based on capabilities applicable for their use cases, be it security or SLAs but very soon evolve to as-a-service.

As a service model, it will then become network slice-as-a-service, essentially.

That business model can then go further, he said, with network slice-as-a-service complemented with exposure to cloud webscalers-as-a-service APIs (with NaaS from operators) to build what Batra said will be outcome-as-a-service, where applications and developers have come to utilize the full marketplace.

RELATED: Nokia partners with AWS, Microsoft, Google for 5G and cloud

For a developer to use the capabilities of the network, then they will have to think about network-as-a-service exposure of the telecoms, and then they would complement that with webscale, possibly a far edge in the enterprise, Batra said. Thats how I believe these use cases will really take off.

Before any of that gets going though, there needs to be a focus on orchestration for the network slices themselves. Network slicing may present new business models, but operators and suppliers are still working to establish the technology, though Batra said community is coming around and getting there.

These slices have to be dynamically cleared and destroyed as needed, he noted. So the orchestration [engine] is a key technology for the marketplace to exist.

When will business models for network slicing come into play?

I believe this will become real in about six to 18 months, Batra said.

RELATED: Dish looks to serve up secure 5G slicing with Nokia software

Nokia just expanded its work with Dish, providing security software for end-to-end network slicing with automation and orchestration a key component. It has also inked 5G and cloud partnerships with AWS, Google, and Microsoft.

Private networks are another major focus for Nokia, which promise their own levels of security and reliability for enterprise customers. The Finnish vendor works both through service provider partners as well as direct to enterprise for private networks.

This month Verizon secured its first European private 5G network customer in a deal with Associated British Ports (ABP) that involves Nokia. The operator launched its private 5G managed service for international customers leveraging Nokias Digital Automation Cloud application platform, which also offers local edge computing.

RELATED:Will private wireless kill network slicing before it even gets started?

When it comes to Nokias focus on private networks versus CSP interest in network slicing, Batra doesnt view them as in conflict.

I see both going together for us, not just one, he said, noting Nokias strong enterprise connections and portfolio, as well as operators systems integration expertise in some cases.
