development of a parabolic trough concentrator system for molten salt application

within the msatrough project a fixfocus parabolic trough is developed by an international consortium of 7 partners the novelty of the new collector is the complete independence detachment between the concentrator and the fixed absorber tube so that the absorber tube string is not moved by the concentrator and can be designed in a continuous line up to a length of more than 08km due to the new design not only the collector connection piping becomes obsolete but also all flexible connections in the solar field are omitted leading to a significant reduction in investment costs as well as in pressure drop and heat losses because of its horizontal stormposition wind loads are reduced by 75 thus steel structure pylons and foundations can be designed very light and costsaving in addition biodegradable and very stable thinglass sandwich mirrors will be developed which increase the optical efficiency by 2 due to better reflectivity a further important project highlight is the development of an automatic mirror washing device which will recycle about 90 of washing water and increase the solar field performance by 4 because of daily washing the new msatrough design will be especially suitable for dispatchable power generation at very high temperature 555c using directly molten salt as heat transfer fluid and storage medium thus reaching a very high cycle efficiency and an excellent volumetric storage capacity a 350mcollector aperture 67m will be erected and tested with molten salt at the emsp optical mechanical and thermal tests will be carried out in order to verify the collector quality and efficiency in order to eliminate heat losses during nights the overnight drainage strategy will be tested and optimized compared to current parabolic trough power plants the use of msatrough collectors will increase the annual electrical output by 245 and reduce the solar field costs by 30

molecular mimicry as a key parameter shaping t cell immunity

scientific challenge immunotherapy has revolutionized cancer treatment yet only a minor fraction of patients respond to frequently used immunotherapeutic treatments t cell recognition of peptidemajor histocompatibility pmhc class i complexes is essential to maintain immune surveillance and eliminate cancerous cells numerous products of genetic and epigenetic alterations can serve as targets for t cell recognition of cancer yet our capacity to predict what mhcembedded targets t cells can recognize on the surface of cancer cells is still poor with a less than 5 hit rate while we have robust tools for prediction of antigen presentation we still have very limited understanding of the factors driving immunogenicity ie which of the presented targets will give rise to a t cell recognition a fundamental mechanism influencing t cell recognition is molecular mimicry it has long been proposed that the ability of a given tcell receptor tcr to recognize multiple different pmhc complexes is essential to provide immunological coverage of all potential pathogens that we may encounter t cell epitopes that at first glance appear very different may have structural similarities once embedded in the mhc i binding groove and hence appear similar to the given tcr molecular mimicryobjective in mimic i will determine the role of molecular mimicry in t cell recognition and demonstrate how preexisting immunity may shape the t cell recognition of cancer antigens i will use the sarscov2 infection as a model system to understand molecular mimicry and apply the learnings from this to cancer immunogenicity expected outcome i predict that by understanding the influence of molecular mimicry the rules governing the immunogenicity of t cell epitopes can be determined and the selection of antigens optimized this will be essential to develop precision t cell therapies targeting tumor antigens of relevance for the individual patient
intergenerational coresidence in global perspective dimensions of change

radical transformations in the family are occurring across the globe decades of demographic economic and cultural change have brought about great changes in family life and households the coresidence project investigates a crucial although unanticipated facet of these transformations the global rise of intergenerational coresidence igc among adult children and their parents this shift is occurring in a variety of demographic economic and cultural contexts and appears to run counter to expectations that intergenerational coresidence would gradually decline with modernization and cultural change the primary objective of the coresidence project is to determine the dimensions of variations in and the rise of intergenerational coresidence around the world and investigate how these trends are related to demographic social economic and culturalattitudinal factors to achieve this goal i will i use recent big microdata which describe family change for more than half a billion people representing more than 120 countries worldwide ii harmonize existing longitudinal data to examine pathways to intergenerational coresidence in six countries representing different norms and forms of intergenerational coresidence india japan mexico senegal spain and the netherlands this study will be the largest comparative study of the family and of family change ever undertaken coresidence will test social theory by analyzing for the first time variation in family forms on several geographic scales and time spans to understand the background factors that drive these changes and theorize about the role of the family in the twentyfirst century
