Regenerative Energie
In this study, we evaluate the effectiveness of transfer and continual learning techniques for vision-based trash particle detection and classification in plastics recycling. This task poses unique challenges for vision-based methods due to the great variety of particles in recycling material flows, their variability over time, and the lack of real recycling industrial datasets available for research.
We use the publicly available computer vision research dataset CIFAR100 to assess model performance, calibrate the model hyperparameters, simulate and explore transfer and continual learning techniques. According to our results, the main factors affecting test accuracy are the following: calibration of hyperparameters, such as the learning rate (up to +13%), bigger batch sizes of only new data (up to +9%) or mixed with previous data with more frequent retraining phases (+4%) and differing continual learning strategies (±3%). Based on these assessments, we provide evaluations on our DWRL dataset, which features plastic trash particles on a moving conveyor belt and provide recommendations for the implementation of continual learning frameworks in the context of plastics recycling.

Rechtliche und praktische Unsicherheiten bei der Durchführung des europäischen Klimaanpassungsrechts durch das Bundes- Klimaanpassungsgesetz (KAnG)

In the context of the European Climate Law (EU) 2021/1119), the Governance Regulation (EU) 2018/1999 and the Nature Restoration Regulation (EU) 2024/1991, the KAnG came into force on July 1, 2024.
Transformatives Klimarecht: Raum, Zeit, Gesellschaft

This article contends that climate law should be conceived as inherently transformative in a double sense. The law not only guides the necessary transformation of economy and society, but is itself undergoing transformation.
