Intelligent characterization of intelligent materials

The main goal of InCIMA project is the establishment of a delocalized cross-border infrastructure for the synthesis and characterization of functional smart materials at nano, micro and macro level, through the exploitation of state-of-the-art spectroscopic techniques of imaging and mapping, that employ a wide radiation range, from far infrared to hard X-rays. The cooperation will be realized by the synergic complementation and the improvement of several analytic techniques and synthetic approaches, nowadays employed by each partner individually, for the optimization of two material types: _x000D_
_x000D_
1- Totally natural rigid foams derived from byproducts of wood industries, such as tannin and lignin, to be used as new materials for green-building (for thermic and acoustic isolation), as well as for water purification from contaminants of emerging concern (natural filtering systems) – OBJECTIVE 1, _x000D_
_x000D_
2- Plasmonic metamaterials to be used in the infrared and ultraviolet spectral range, for application as sensor of diluted chemical analytes, for environmental and biomedical diagnosis. The ultimate vision of integration of contaminant absorption capacity and dilute analyte detection within a single material, such as the bio-foam, will be forecasted – OBJECTIVE 2.

The multifaceted role of interfaces in facilitating PVKSC development is explained. Beneficial impacts of diverse charge-transporting materials and interfacial modifications are summarized. In addition, the role of interfaces in improving efficiency and stability for all emerging areas of PVKSC design are also evaluated. The authors' integral contributions in this area are highlighted on all fronts. Finally, future research opportunities for interfacial material development and applications along with scalability-durability-sustainability considerations pivotal for facilitating laboratory to industry translation are presented.
Low-Cost semiconducting polymers for manufacturing 2d-digital x-ray detectors

This project is about launching a next generation of DEXA bone densiometes incorporating 2D digital X-ray detectors with a lower and affordable price. 
DEXscAn project proposes to both modify current materials used in DEXA bone densitometers detector, together with a novel manufacturing process for large-array areas: 
1. Improve the sensitivity of the devices by substitution of amorphous silicon (aSi:H) FET by cheaper and highly efficient organic materials as photo-detectors. These organic semiconductors are easier to process than Si-detectors, allowing different shapes and sizes, including curved surfaces otherwise impossible to achieve. 
2. Substantial reductions in manufacture costs of large-area arrays (2D-digital panel detectors in DEXA scans), by using organic semiconductors P3HT:PCBM, PTAA:TIPS-Pentacene or F8T2, offering the possibility to obtain solution-processable inks, and therefore printing large areas using simple techniques like inkjet printing or screen printing. 
Our company L´Accessorio Nucleare manufactures first generation bone densitometers since the 70s and since then, we have developed and successfully placed in the market 7 different bone densitometer products, being one of the leader suppliers of high-tech bone densitometers worldwide. With this product and the EC support our company seeks to become the first company worldwide implementing Digital Imaging in DEXA Bone Densitometers and to reduce the final price for DEXA bone densisometers. The aimed prouct will have advantages not only for our current clients (public and private big hospitals that nowdays purchase these devices for replacement of old ones) but also for new clients (smaller hospitals, clinics and ambulatories) where DEXA scans can be used as a regular preventive diagnosis service.
Vimpay- an one-size-fits-all mobile based solution for cashless payment for europe

With VIMpay petaFuel aims to develop a mobile based payment solution to a stage that it is ready for European market
entry. The product will enable all smart phone users to participate in cashless payments, consolidating both card based
payments (contactless as well as contactbased) and SEPA payments. The main USPs of the products are (1) that it enables
users to do payments without the need for a bank account and (2) does so in a secure and convenient way without (3)
requiring additional payment infrastructure, i.e. it is based on open and already established standards.
petaFuel -together with third parties- has already established a sophisticated payment infrastructure and corresponding
business processes and brought demonstrators and proof-of-concepts into the market. Within this project these processes
and infrastructures are extended and integrated to provide a mobile based payment solution that ideally caters for all
payment needs of end customers in the European SEPA region.
This project does fit the call objectives by setting up a universal solution that enables smartphone users in the whole SEPA
payment area to participate in online cashless payments. Furthermore VIMpay will be disruptive to the classic banking
models for private customers as VIMpay will provide a bank-independent payment solution and therefore does cater for
unbanked customers as well as banked customers in Europe. The aim of VIMpay is to provide a one-fits-all solution for
payments consolidating technologies and standards.
Inhaled nickel nanoparticles alter vascular reactivity in C57BL/6 mice

The use of nanoparticles (NPs) in technological applications is rapidly expanding, but the potential health effects associated with NP exposure are still largely unknown. Given epidemiological evidence indicating an association between inhaled ambient ultrafine particles and increased risk of cardiovascular disease morbidity and mortality, it has been suggested that exposure to NPs via inhalation may induce similar cardiovascular responses.Male C57BL/6 mice were exposed via whole-body inhalation to either filtered air (FA) or nickel hydroxide (NH) NPs (100, 150, or 900 µg/m(3)) for 1, 3, or 5 consecutive days (5 h/day). At 24-h post-exposure, vascular function in response to a vasoconstrictor, phenylephrine (PE), and a vasodilator, acetylcholine (ACh), was measured in the carotid artery.Carotid arteries from mice exposed to all concentrations of NH-NPs showed statistically significant differences in graded doses of PE-induced contractile responses compared with those from FA mice. Similarly, vessels from NH-NP-exposed mice also demonstrated impaired vasorelaxation following graded doses of ACh as compared with FA mice.These results suggest that short-term exposure to NH-NPs can induce acute endothelial disruption and alter vasoconstriction and vasorelaxation. These findings are consistent with other studies assessing vascular tone and function in the aorta, coronary, and mesenteric vessels from mice exposed to motor vehicular exhaust and concentrated ambient particles.
Implementing special nanomaterials in ultra-performance mobile radomes

OxfordNano aims to enhance the EU manufacturing capability in aerospace composite structures using special nanomaterials (NMs) technology derived from ERC research. The target application for this capability is ultra-performance radomes for airborne sensors systems and a growing opportunity to deliver digital services to users on the move e.g. passengers in civil aircraft and trains.
Mobile radomes for the aviation industries need to be strong in structure and impact, lightweight and easily formed to aerodynamic shapes, and be resistant to erosion and lightning. Above all the radome must be transparent i.e. have the minimum insertion losses for that operational frequency range.
In the last 40 years, a range of insulating materials such as ceramics and resin composites have been used to optimise properties such as durability against environment yet possessing maximum and/or tunable radio frequency transparencies. However, in advanced high-mobility applications utilisation of modern lightweight nanocomposites as structural materials for radomes with superior toughness, thermal properties and other functionalities are essential.
OxfordNano’s European Industry project partners in the areas of advanced materials, composite manufacturing and radome design will apply speciality NMs to solve the formidable technical problems in engineering multifunctional composites for radomes, where conventional materials and engineering approaches are reaching the limit of their impact.
There has been much recent progress in understanding NMs formation and scaled-up production techniques from laboratory scale to industrial scale manufacturing. Many technical barriers have been identified in this area of research. At present there is no known commercial technology using h-BN multi-wall nanotubes (BNNTs) at scale. Specially tailored h-BN NMs including h-BN nanotubes from Oxford¹s ERC programmes will underpin the development of ultra-performance mobile radomes.
Establishment of an Integreted Monitoring System of the Quality of Adriatic Sea, with Particular Regard to Eutrophication and Mucilages Phenomenia 

The project, at a regional scale, foresees the creation of a network to collect and integrate information about eutrophication and mucilages phenomena individuated by Regional Agencies for Environment and from research institutes of Italy and Croatia. The aim is to provide in real time an informational bulletin on the quality of marine water of North middle Adriatic. This bulletin must become a strategic informative tool for local Administrations, with relevance at municipal, provincial and regional scale in order to provide information and, if possible, previsions on the dynamics of monitored processes.
Nuclear reactions at storage rings

Obtaining reliable cross sections for neutron-induced reactions on unstable nuclei is a highly important task and a major challenge. These data are essential for nuclear astrophysics -since most of the heavy elements in the Universe are produced by neutron-induced reactions in stars- and for applications in nuclear technology. However, their measurement is very complicated as both projectile and target are radioactive. The most promising way to infer these cross sections is to use surrogate reactions in inverse kinematics, where the nucleus formed in the neutron-induced reaction of interest is produced by a reaction involving a radioactive heavy-ion beam and a stable, light target nucleus. The decay probabilities (for fission, neutron and gamma-ray emission) of the nucleus produced by the surrogate reaction provide precious information to constrain models and enable much more accurate predictions of the desired neutron cross sections.
Yet, the use of surrogate reactions is hampered by the numerous long-standing target issues. I propose to solve them by combining surrogate reactions with the unique possibilities at ion storage rings. In a storage ring heavy radioactive ions revolve at high frequency passing repeatedly through an electron cooler, which will greatly improve the beam quality and restore it after each passage of the beam through the internal gas-jet serving as ultra-thin, windowless target. This way, decay probabilities can be measured with unrivaled accuracy. 
NECTAR aims to develop a detection system based on cutting-edge technology and a new method to measure accurate decay probabilities of radioactive nuclei at the CRYRING storage ring of the GSI/FAIR facility. The extreme vacuum conditions of the ring put severe constraints on the detection setup. I propose original, even revolutionary options to overcome these issues like the use of solar cells. Thus, NECTAR will be the seed of a new generation of nuclear-reaction experiments with unstable beams.
Achieving wider uptake of water-smart solutions

The overall objective of WIDER UPTAKE is to co-develop a roadmap for widespread implementation of water smart symbiotic solutions for wastewater reuse and resource recovery, based on the principles of circular economy. 
WIDER UPTAKE will demonstrate innovative solutions that optimize water reuse, resource recovery and energy utilisation where market utilisation of the recovered resource(s) is achieved through a symbiosis between the utility and industry. The cases will provide applied knowledge on operationalization of the solutions, shared and further co-developed in a community of practice. The demonstrations are:
- Reuse of wastewater for urban agriculture, Ghana.
- Fertiliser and soil improver by wastewater resource recovery, Norway.
- Reuse of wastewater for greening of urban areas, Czech Republic.
- Reuse of wastewater for irrigation in agricultural industry, Italy.
- Production of new bio-composite material by water resource recovery, Netherlands.
WIDER UPTAKE's hypothesis is that the barriers for wider uptake of water-smart solutions are not only technological but also of organizational, regulatory, social and economic character. WIDER UPTAKE will identify and demonstrate common measures for wider uptake through activities on 'Monitoring and control of health and quality risks', 'Circular-economy and efficiency potential', 'Governance and business models for industrial symbiosis' and 'Measuring water smartness and progress towards SDG'. 

WIDER UPTAKE includes demonstrations of wastewater reuse for agriculture and urban greening, which also reduces the impact of warming from climate change. WIDER UPTAKE also comprises cases with phosphorus recycling, biogas and biochar utilisation, and production of bio-composites for manufacturing materials with resources recovered from the whole water cycle, which demonstrates the upcycling of the resources from wastewater to marketable products.
Vichy against Vichy: History and Memory of the Second World War in the Former Capital of the État français from 1940 to the Present

Following the June 22, 1940 armistice and the subsequent occupation of northern France by the Germans, the French government left Paris and eventually established itself in the city of Vichy. The name ‘Vichy’ soon came to be used to refer to the regime instigated by Petain and his ministers. The shortcut was maintained and popularized in the postwar period, to the great displeasure of the Vichyssois, who have long been refusing to incorporate the war into the city’s history. Whereas the Vichy regime is considered one of the most defining historical events of France’s recent past, the city of Vichy stands out as a non lieu de memoire in the national memorial landscape of the Second World War.
This dissertation investigates the wartime period in Vichy and explores how the population has dealt with the fraught legacy of the Vichy regime from 1944 to the present. My research examines how the interaction between national mythology, specific local concerns, and broader troubling issues have impacted – and often blocked – the formation of a local war memory. In the immediate postwar years, local resisters strove to establish a strong memory of the resistance. At the same time, a powerful victimhood myth emerged in response to the city’s fears of stigmatization and ostracism. The spa tourism’s recovery in the early 1950s marked a significant change in the city’s memorial politics, leading to the memory of the war being pushed into the background, thereby establishing a tradition of silence in Vichy. This, however, does not mean that the memories of the war never resurfaced. They did, especially during the Algerian War. In the 1950s, Vichy’s economy largely depended on colonial spa tourism. Known as the “Capitale d’ete de l’Afrique du Nord,” Vichy was indeed a privileged summer destination for thousands of settlers, especially pieds noirs from Algeria. The fear provoked by the prospect of a grave economic crisis in the event that Algeria would become independent led to a rightward shift of the population. This shift provided the ideal environment for a pro-Petain memory to gather strength in Vichy, beyond Petain’s traditional extreme right base. While in the 1950s, Petain’s myth also enjoyed a revival of popularity in France, it declined rapidly, when, following the end of the Algerian War, the extreme right hit historical lows. In Vichy, on the other hand, this counter memory continued to develop in the 1960s. In the post 1970s period, although the local Petainist memory went underground, no other memory has risen to occupy a central place in the local collective remembering of the war, turning the city into a non lieu de memoire and making it a counter example of what has been happening in many other places across Europe, where the most shameful aspects of the Second World War have been memorialized.
Morphological and molecular characterization ofColletotrichum musaeisolates from various banana (Musaspp.) cultivars

Forty Colletotrichum musae isolates were recovered from ten different banana cultivars (Musa spp.) exhibiting the symptoms of both crown rot and anthracnose. The isolates were characterized morphologically and with molecular tools. Based on morphological characters in culture, the 40 C. musae isolates were included in four groups. Group I consisted of fast growing isolates with pinkish to light orange mycelia; group II included isolates with sparse, slow growing, suppressed, light orange mycelia; group III consisted of isolates with dense, fast growing, orange mycelia; and group IV included isolates with profuse cottony mycelia, mostly white to very light orange colour. Twelve isolates of C. musae were further selected and tested with RAPD primers for their genetic diversity. The RAPD dendrogram grouped the 12 isolates of C. musae in three clusters. Based on RAPD patterns, the similarity index (SI) within C. musae isolates ranged from 41.66 to 100%. Thus, the RAPD analysis revealed a high genetic variability in C. musae isolated from different banana cultivars. This might explain the differences in cultural characteristics of different isolates.
Experimental analysis of fire-cracked rocks from varied use contexts

This experimental study of fire-cracked rocks sought to determine if varied rock fracture attributes could be correlated with specific past uses of heated stones. A total of 864 rocks were heated in 41 fires that replicated hearth, stone boiling, sweat lodge, and earth oven uses of quartz, quartzite, and sandstone cobbles as heating elements. Analysis of experimental results considered three fire-cracked rock attributes (fracture rate, fragment type, and fragment shape) which can be correlated with some of the specific uses of rocks as heating elements. These attributes can be applied to fire-cracked rock assemblages from archaeological contexts to determine their past uses with relatively consistent results as long as the archaeological context of the fire-cracked rocks is carefully considered.

International cooperation for selective conversion of co2 into methanol under solar light

Methanol is an appealing energy vectors, with attractive volumetric and gravimetric energy values, storable in liquid phase at ambient conditions of pressure and temperature, and that can be used as fuel directly or converted into chemicals or gasoline. However, its production lacks a sustainable route. Thus, the METHASOL project aims to produce methanol through a sustainable and cost-effective process based on the selective visible light driven gas phase CO2 reduction, with a solar to methanol energy conversion efficiency of 5%. During 42 months, METHASOL will gather 14 partners from EU/Associated MS, China and the USA, including some of the world’s most recognized researchers on artificial photosynthesis, to achieve a ground-breaking combination of a CO2 reduction reaction (CO2RR) system based on Metal-Organic Framework (MOF) and a graphitic Carbon Nitride (g-CN) for photocatalytic oxygen evolution reaction (OER), through a Z-scheme heterojunction.
Following the definition of the system specifications (WP1), a first set of materials for OER and CO2RR will be synthesised and their photocatalytic activity and stability will be screened (WP2). The most promising materials will be further analysed thanks to experimental characterisation and modelling (WP3), leading to guidelines used for designing an enhanced CO2RR and OER materials (WP4). The best systems will then be integrated through a Z-scheme heterojunction, either with or without a mediator, and tested in tailored reactors operating in the gas phase under different conditions (WP5). A complete sustainability analysis will be conducted (WP6) to ensure the clean production of methanol. The cooperation between European and Chinese research entities will be consolidated to last beyond the project lifetime through the creation of a common exploitation plan (WP7). Through its ambitious activities on photocatalyst developments for solar to methanol conversion, METHASOL will propose a new path for decarbonizing Europe.
