Knowledge Graphs as a source of trust for LLM-powered enterprise question answering by Juan Sequeda, Dean Allemang, Bryon Jacob

“…It is tempting to think that Generative AI has made other knowledge-based technologies obsolete; that anything we wanted to do with knowledge-based systems, Knowledge Graphs or even expert systems can instead be done with Generative AI. Our position is counter to that conclusion.Our practical experience on implementing enterprise question answering systems using Generative AI has shown that Knowledge Graphs support this infrastructure in multiple ways: they provide a formal framework to evaluate the validity of a query generated by an LLM, serve as a foundation for explaining results, and offer access to governed and trusted data. …”

Potential of condensate as a water source from air conditioning systems: A thermodynamic analysis by Koorosh Goudarzi

“…A considerable amount of water condensate produced through the cooling coils of air conditioning systems is usually directed to municipal sewage systems and wasted along with the energy it contains. This energy can instead be utilized to increase the efficiency of air conditioning systems and refrigeration systems in cold storage facilities, save energy consumption, reduce the carbon footprint, and also meet some of the water consumption needs. …”

A socially responsive university by Mariekie Burger

“…Against the foil of a class project - situated in a larger Izindaba Zokudla (conversations about food) community engagement project of the University of Johannesburg – this article argues: 1) instead of conventional teaching methods, teaching should be based on an empowerment education model; 2) instead of a top-down externally initiated model, community engagement should use a participatory multistakeholder approach; and 3) instead of conventional research approaches, research should be transformative. …”
