The processes comprise mixing, in any order: (i) a non-ionic surfactant selected from the group consisting of compounds having chemical structure (I), where "-CH-O-CH-" represents an epoxide group, where Ra and Rb are hydrocarbons that can be the same or different, where at least one of the Ra and Rb hydrocarbons includes an epoxide group within 3 carbons of the hydrocarbon attachment to contribute t o the desired hydrolipid balance of 7-9, where Rc is hydrogen or a methyl grou p, and where Rd is a methylene group, and ethyl group, or a structurally equivalent link with a bond length range about the same as or shorter than that provided by an ethyl group, and having a hydro-lipid balance in the ran ge 7-9; (ii) an amphoteric surfactant selected from the group consisting of organic compounds having the chemical formula NH3-R-COOH, where R is a straight, branched, or aromatic hydrocarbon structure having 6-24 carbons; (iii) a solvent for the amphoteric surfactant; (iv) an aromatic selected fro m the group consisting of compounds having at (I) least one aromatic five or s ix- member ring; (v) an aluminum cation; (vi) a Lewis acid that is not a Bronste d- Lowry acid; and (vii) a Bronsted-Lowry acid.
Temporal flexibility of permit trading when pollutants are correlated

It is now accepted that climate change is due to the cumulative and joint effect of multiple atmospheric trace constituents. The importance of adopting a comprehensive approach to global warming that would account for multiple interacting pollutants is increasingly recognized. In this paper we propose to extend the analysis of intertemporal permit trading to a framework encompassing multiple correlated pollutants. In doing so our aim is to assess the consequence of providing ''when flexibility'' to participants in a pollution market scheme with respect to the timing of use of their permits. In the same manner as local pollution hotspots have been identified as potential drawbacks of allowing intra-regional trade, temporal flexibility has the potential to induce a type of ''temporal hotspot'' of pollution that could undermine the efficiency of intertemporal trading schemes - especially when the stock of a particular pollution induces damage in itself but also impacts on the accumulation of another detrimental pollution stock. In a first step, we assess the impact of various types of correlations (technological and physical) on the socially optimal accumulation of regional and global pollutants. We illustrate that even in the case of a linear damage function the regional stocks may have ambiguous impacts on the global stock. In a second step, we show that it is possible for a global benevolent regulator to have recourse to a set of intertemporal trading schemes to induce individual agents to take socially optimal decisions over time. One requirement is to implement a set of time-dependent intertemporal trading rates. We also analyze the impact on pollutants accumulation of implementing non-optimal intertemporal trading rates.
The effects of repeated caesarean sections on maternal and fetal outcomes

Objectives : To determine (i) the effects of repeated caesarean sections on maternal and fetal outcomes (ii) whether these outcomes are affected by the timings of caesarean section (elective/emergency). Materials and Methods: This is a retrospective observational study conducted at Al Qassimi Hospital, Sharjah UAE from 1st Jan 2007 to 31st Dec 2008. 224 women who underwent caesarean section (CS) for two or more times were studied with respect to timing of current caesarean section, adhesions, condition of bladder and lower uterine segment, dehiscence of previous scar and any visceral injuries. Total blood loss and postoperative complications were also evaluated. Fetal parameters included gestational age at birth, APGAR scores and breathing difficulties if any. Results: Incidence of dense adhesions increased with increasing number of caesarean sections (22% for prev 2CS, 33% for prev 3 CS, 39% for prev 4 or more CS). Omental adhesions also followed similar pattern. The lower segment was thinned out in 38% of total patients. Scar dehiscence was seen in 50% of previous 4 caesarean section operated in emergency, in comparison to 4% and 6%% in previous 2 and 3 caesarean section. Other complications like bleeding, blood transfusion and postoperative complications were not statistically different in both the groups (elective and emergency). There was no case of caesarean hysterectomy and maternal death. The fetal outcome was similar in all the groups. Conclusions: No definitive upper limit of multiple repeat caesarean sections can be fixed for an individual woman based just on the number of previous Caesarean sections.
Design and implementation of an optimized communication method for Remote Meter Reading using Zigbee

This presents a research work which is carried out to optimize the Zigbee based remote meter reading network. There are various technologies available to automate the meter reading. As far as utility providers are concerned, their focus is on a reliable Remote Meter Reading (RMR) system to read the meter at minimum possible cost. The development of a reliable RMR system is highly dependent on telecommunication infrastructure which is costly if GPRS (General Packet Radio Service) is used as a way of communication. This research was done in depth to analyze the cost and function of RMR system. An analysis of communication delay and resource optimization was studied for data concentrator based RMR system. Several simulations were carried out for simulating communication speed, communication path and their optimizations. Based on the GPS location and generated algorithm software was developed for selecting the correct Zigbee power ratings.
Sire effects on neonatal lamb vigour and following-behaviour

The ability of the lamb to maintain contact with the ewe as she moves away from the birth site is critical to the lamb’s subsequent survival. If this contact is compromised then lamb loss is likely to occur due to starvation/mismothering. This study uses sires from the Sheep CRC Information Nucleus Flock to compare the effect of selection of sires within the Merino breed for high or low losses due to starvation/mismothering on neonatal lamb vigour. Lamb vigour was measured using conventional measures of time to perform early neonatal behaviours, early physiological measures (rectal temperatures and blood glucose), and performance in a modified barrier test while under physiological stress from cold exposure. Lambs were exposed to cold at a time (4–6 h after birth) when the ewe is likely to be moving away from the birth site and therefore when losses due to starvation/mismothering are likely to begin. Progeny from the high-loss sires were significantly (P &lt; 0.05) slower to attempt to stand, and to stand, than progeny from the no-loss sires and tended to be slower to reach the udder and suckle (P = 0.07). Lambs from the no-loss group also had a significantly (P &lt; 0.01) higher vigour score than the high-loss group. There was no effect of sire group on the performance of lambs in the modified barrier test; however, cold-treated lambs performed poorly in the test compared with control lambs. It was concluded that sire can have an effect on lamb vigour, but it does not necessarily translate into effects on later following-behaviour while under stressful conditions.
REPLICAS IN CULTURAL HERITAGE: 3D PRINTING AND THE MUSEUM EXPERIENCE

Abstract. 3D printing has seen a recent massive diffusion for several applications, not least the field of Cultural Heritage. Being used for different purposes, such as study, analysis, conservation or access in museum exhibitions, 3D printed replicas need to undergo a process of validation also in terms of metrical precision and accuracy. The Laboratory of Photogrammetry of Iuav University of Venice has started several collaborations with Italian museum institutions firstly for the digital acquisition and then for the physical reproduction of objects of historical and artistic interest. The aim of the research is to analyse the metric characteristics of the printed model in relation to the original data, and to optimize the process that from the survey leads to the physical representation of an object. In fact, this could be acquired through different methodologies that have different precisions (multi-image photogrammetry, TOF laser scanner, triangulation based laser scanner), and it always involves a long processing phase. It should not be forgotten that the digital data have to undergo a series of simplifications, which, on one hand, eliminate the noise introduced by the acquisition process, but on the other one, they can lead to discrepancies between the physical copy and the original geometry. In this paper we will show the results obtained on a small archaeological find that was acquired and reproduced for a museum exhibition intended for blind and partially sighted people.
Boosting innovative Entrepreneurial Ecosystem in Regions for young entrepreneurs

“Europe is a land of innovation waiting for cultivation. SMEs are its seed, ESIFs its tools, and growth and jobs are its harvest. We are iEER – cultivating young entrepreneurs within and between the regions to be the crop of Europe’s future.”

Composed of EER (European Entrepreneurial Region) and non-EER regions, the project iEER addresses the challenges regional authorities face in optimizing structural funds to support young entrepreneurs in the regions due to 1) Lack of awareness or entrepreneurial competence both for local and regional authorities (LRAs) and the higher education institution (HEIs); 2) Fragmented actions of actors either operating in silos or duplication of efforts, 3) Uneven development and resources between outlying and centre areas of a region and 4) Limited funding provision or at risk of ineffective management of funds. 

iEER aims to define paths and solution for partner regions enabling HEIs and the other Quadruple Helix actors to be a part of thriving entrepreneurship ecosystem supporting young entrepreneurship through improving 11 ESIF programmes in 10 diverse regions from FI, DK, UK, IE, ES, IT, DE, FR, PL and RO. 

In the 2 years of interregional learning and 2 years of monitoring, iEER taps the pool of EER expertise and transfers the best practices through peer-learning, guided workshops and bottom-up approach empowering the LRAs, HEIs, business and young entrepreneurs to take ownership of the development and implementation of 10 action plans. iEER also constantly involves non-partner regions (in particular less-developed regions) to validate the transferability of the best practices for European upscale. 

Each endorsed action plan is envisaged to improve the addressed ESIFs through: project pipelines for best practise importing (entrepreneurial university and startup support), adaption of multi- level governance, multi-funding or/and a evaluation tool which ultimately lead to growth and more jobs.
Synthesis of Li/Al LDH using aluminum and LiOH

The synthesis of Li/Al layered double hydroxide (LDH) within the ternary system of LiOH–Al–H2O was investigated to determine the feasibility of a one-step synthetic process and the optimal yield composition for the process. The dissolution of Al metal in LiOH solutions was spontaneous and resulted in the generation of H2 gas and heat. Pure Li/Al LDH precipitate was obtained when the Al/Li molar ratio was between 0.1 and 2 and was independent of the LiOH concentration. The yield of Li/Al LDH was correlated with the initial amounts of LiOH and Al in the system and inversely correlated to the quantity of water. However, the Al metal could not be completely dissolved if there was not enough water content due to its consumption in the reaction. The optimal yield of Li/Al LDH, as defined by the efficient conversion from Al and LiOH to Li/Al LDH, was obtained with a LiOH concentration = 3 mol kg− 1 and an Al/Li molar ratio = 2. The reaction mechanism involves the dissolution of the Al metal in LiOH and the formation of aluminate ions in solution. The aluminate ion and the hydrated Li+ ion subsequently form an ion pair, and the polarizing effect of the Li+ on the water in its hydration shell leads to the acid hydrolysis of the aluminate ion and the formation of Li/Al LDH. This study demonstrated a synthetic process for Li/Al LDH with a high anion exchange capacity. This synthetic process will have additional economical and environmental benefits if recycled Al metal can be used in the synthesis and the evolved hydrogen gas and heat from the process can be further utilized.
SCALABLE SPUCCH DESIGN FOR LOW LATENCY LTE OPERATION

A configuration is received indicating a UE is to operate in a reduced latency mode. The UE determines uplink control information to be reported using a short physical uplink control channel. The UE determines a short physical uplink control channel resource for transmitting the uplink control information. The determined short physical uplink control channel resource is a reduced latency mode physical uplink control channel resource. The short physical uplink control channel resource comprises a first and a second instance of LTE Rel-8 length 12 uplink DMRS sequence transmitted in one or more DFT-S-OFDM symbols on a first physical resource block, followed by a third and a fourth instance of LTE Rel-8 length 12 uplink DMRS sequence transmitted in one or more DFT-S-OFDM symbols on a second physical resource block. The UE transmits the uplink control information on the determined reduced latency mode physical uplink control channel resource.
Development of a business model to commercialise gpu accelerated workstations for european hardware providers

Company: We (ebb3 Ltd), an accredited specialist systems integrator are developing software in partnership with market leading technology providers (Cisco, Citrix & Nvidia). Our partners have been selected specifically for their interoperability and global market positioning. ebb3 will use our partners existing software and hardware components as the foundation to provide and manage a common GPU (Graphical Processing Unit) accelerated computing platform. 

Problem: Whilst many organisations are moving their data into the cloud, there are applications and workloads confined to physical workstation computers where the GPU is commonly located and not cloud compatible. As workstation applications become more complex and resource demanding, their data files become even larger. This data transfer to and from the cloud is time consuming and impacts an organisations security data availability policies and risks the value of the data.

State-of-the-art: All the current virtual workstation solutions, are either public or private shared cloud solutions, meaning that they are also in a public cloud, with multi-tenant pooling of resources among multiple customers, increasing issues of data privacy and security. In addition, cloud-based solutions often require dedicated resources creating islands of technology that become cumbersome and costly to maintain and support. Most virtual workstation solutions do not manage the set-up, user resource pool usage or provide support services when the workstation is not performing, meaning users experience periods of high latency, poor performance and difficulty accessing resources.

Our solution: ebb3 offers customers a fully managed, private cloud dedicated common GPU accelerated computing environment (CGACE) that uses an AI resource management tool for effective resource utilisation, allowing no feeling of latency for the user and freeing up resources in the datacentre for VR, ML and high performance applications.
Sand mitigation around railway tracks

In the last decade, a growing number of railways and other civil or industrial infrastructures have been designed and/or built in arid regions worldwide. The European Railway Industry is often selected for such projects, because of its strong overall know-how.
In arid environmental conditions, windblown sand can have undesired effects on both the safety and the serviceability/ maintenance of railways. Despite efficient Sand Mitigation Measures (SMM) are mandatory, their design and assessment are at their infancy worldwide. Both tasks require innovation and development, by means of transfer of knowledge from base and/or specialist research fields to the Civil Engineering design practice and Railway Industry.
The European Railway Industry competences should be enriched with advanced and specialized knowhow in the SMM field, by means of raise of the quality of knowledge and human capital. Innovative sand mitigation competences should find their place in the production chain of the Railway Industry.
The present Research and Training Programme is inspired by the problem features mentioned above and aims at: • innovating the sand mitigation research field, by:
o a Computational Based Engineering rationale approach to the design of SMM;
o a new approach to the modeling and simulation of the coupled multiphase wind-sand flow around three-dimensional complex orography SMM and railway body;
• training Early Stage Researchers (ESRs), by means of:
o a multidisciplinary doctoral formation because of the nature of the problem;
o an academy-industry intersectoral doctoral formation because of the innovation ability of the former and the stimuli to research coming from the needs of the latter;
o a consortium's layout reflecting the production chain of the railway industry to train the ESRs in a proper “in vitro” replica of the their future real world working context;
• enriching and complementing the competences of the European Railway Industry in a growing market sector.
Sedative, membrane stability, cytotoxic and antioxidant properties of methanol extract of leaves of Protium serratum Wall.

To study the sedative, membrane stability, cytotoxic and antioxidant properties of the leaves of Protium serratum extracted using methanol. Sedative test was performed using hole cross and open field methods at 200 and 400 mg/kg. Membrane stability of red blood cell was used for anti-inflammatory test at different concentrations. Cytotoxic study was performed using brine shrimp lethality test. Total flavonoid contents, total phenol contents and reducing power were used to assess antioxidant properties of the extract. Extract showed better sedative action at lower doses in both experiments. Maximum 73.33% locomotion reduction was found at 200 mg/kg at 120 min and that was 89.29% for diazepam in hole cross test. In membrane stability test, extract and standard drug diclofenac have 35.66% and 91.20% stability, respectively. LC 50 value of the extract was 22.91 μg/mL. Total phenol and flavonoid contents were (55.53±14.63) mg gallic acid equivalent per gram of extract and (106.33±7.35) mg of quercetin equivalent per gram of extract, respectively per gram of extract. Significant reducing power was observed as compared to ascorbic acid. Extract possesses good pharmacological properties. Hence, further extensive study is essential to find out possible active constituents for the treatment of anxiety, inflammation or sickle cell disease, cancer and free radical mediated abnormalities.
Predicting the Octanol Solubility of Organic Compounds

The molar octanol solubility of an organic nonelectrolytes can be reasonably predicted solely from its melting point provided that its liquid (or a hypothetical super-cooled liquid) form is miscible with octanol. The aim of this work is to develop criteria to determine if the real or hypothetical liquid form of a given compound will be miscible with octanol based on its molar volume and solubility parameter. Fortunately, most organic compounds (including most drugs) conform to the criteria for complete liquid miscibility, and therefore have solubilities that are proportional to their melting points. The results show that more than 95% of the octanol solubilities studied are predicted with an error of less than 1 logarithmic unit.

A counting multidimensional innovation index for SMEs

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to develop a multidimensional innovation index (MII) framework for measuring and benchmarking multidimensional innovation of small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and groups of SMEs. Design/methodology/approach A counting dual cut-off method is employed. First, output and input innovation profiles and composite scores of individual SMEs are computed. Second, a set of four composite innovation indices are generated characterizing the group of SMEs under analysis: MIIo and MIIi measure multidimensional output and input innovation, respectively; while MIIr and MIIa assess the ratio and average of MIIo and MIIi, respectively. To test the MII framework, a survey was conducted among SMEs of the metalworking industry in Portugal. Findings In 2012, about 28.9 percent (42.2 percent) SMEs of the Portuguese metalworking industry were determined to be multidimensional output (input) innovative. The average percentage of dimensions for which output (input) innovative SMEs were innovative was 65.0 percent (66.0 percent). Thus, the industry MII vector was (MIIo; MIIi; MIIr; MIIa)=(0.188, 0.279, 0.674; 0.233). Significant differences were found across the industry, individual SMEs’ multidimensional output and input innovation scores, enabling the identification of groups of SMEs, which can be characterized and compared by computing the corresponding and specific MII vectors. Research limitations/implications The research has limitations because of the small size of the sample and the benchmarking possibilities it provides. Originality/value The novelty of the MII framework lies in the counting dual cut-off method employed.
