Jobs/Vacancy

May 9 2021: Master’s or PhD Assistantship in WEF Nexus research in urban farming systems at UDC
The University of the District Columbia (UDC) is seeking a PhD or Master’s student to be appointed as a Research Assistant to conduct Water-Energy-Food Nexus research in urban farming systems with the School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) and College of Agriculture, Urban Sustainability and Environmental Science (CAUSES), beginning Summer or Fall 2021.


May 9 2021: SRI2021: Early Career Fund now available for young professionals

"The Sustainability Research & Innovation Congress 2021 (SRI2021) has created a dedicated Early Career Fund which will support young professionals to participate in the event virtually or in-person if the country of residence is Australia. SRI2021is the world’s first transdisciplinary gathering in sustainability – it will be a space of fierce advocacy for sustainability scholarship, innovation, collaboration, and action and will feature sessions on the Water-Energy-Food Nexus."

Case Study

May 9 2021:"Owini, a company in the Mitrelli Group, implemented an innovative water desalination system based entirely on solar energy, within the village Ombala"

"The province is characterized by extensive and arid territories and was hit by a severe drought that the region has endured since 2018. The water desalination system is able to conserve the energy produced during the day, and allows continuous operation of pumping and supplying water to the community around the clock."

Introduction to Glowworm Optimization Algorithm

Overview of the Glow Worm Algorithm Explanation of the original Glow Worm Algorithm  The Hybrid Glow Worm Algorithm is an important algorithm to study and understand because of its ability to effectively solve complex optimization problems. By combining the strengths of different algorithms, it offers a flexible and adaptable solution approach that can be applied to various domains. Understanding this algorithm can help researchers and practitioners in developing efficient and effective optimization strategies for their specific problem instances.  The original Glow Worm Algorithm is a swarm intelligence-based optimization algorithm inspired by the behavior of glow worms in nature. It involves a population of virtual glow worms that interact with each other and their environment to find optimal solutions.  The algorithm uses a combination of local and global search strategies, allowing the glow worms to explore and exploit the search space effectively. Additionally, the algorithm incor

Five new ideas for launching agro-start ups

View the image  in original size Agricultural output controls the GDP of a Country. Especially the developing countries largely depend on its agriculture productivity to enhance their socio-economy and livelihood of the local population. Sustaining the profitability of cultivators is one of the major objectives of any government. Water and energy which are the two drivers of agriculture need to be optimally utilized. The uncontrolled and uneven distribution of natural resources, especially water resources, often compromises the agricultural productivity of the water-stressed regions of a country which in turn affects the national GDP of that country.  So optimal management of water and also energy resources in an agricultural location can ensure stability and incrementation of GDP of the country. That is why some apps can be developed and offered commercially to the farmers which can help in not only maximization of agricultural productivity but also it will help in the smart managemen
