Carbonatation of sulphates for co2 sequestration

CARS-CO2 is a multidisciplinary project that is centred on the carbonatation of sulphates to establish a novel route to capture and store atmospheric CO2. The two main objectives of this project are: (i) improve our understanding of the crystallization process of sulphates and carbonates at mild hydrothermal conditions, and (ii) study the mechanism, kinetics and stability of the carbonatation of sulphates. Both objectives are paramount to accomplish our foremost goal, which is to evaluate the potential of sulphate carbonatation as a “sequestrator” of CO2. To achieve this, several state-of-the-art laboratory and synchrotron-based scattering techniques will be used to monitor in situ the mineral formation and transformation reactions. To complement the body of bulk mineralization data, during a secondment, isotopic fingerprinting will be used to determine the role of magnesium in the transformation reaction and to define if the transformation is solid state or solution mediated. The results obtained in this project will not only shed light on how CaSO4-based (waste) materials can help to reduce CO2 in the atmosphere but will also further unveil the formation mechanisms of sulphates and carbonates for relevant environmental conditions on Earth and Mars.
Cybernetic communication networks: fundamental limits and engineering challenges

This Reintegration Panel proposal, CYBERNETS, focuses on the study of Cybernetic Communication Networks (CCN). CCNs are wireless networks that are context-aware, possess learning capabilities and artificial intelligence to guarantee reliability, efficiency and resilience to changes, failures or attacks via autonomous, self-configuring and self-healing individual and network behavior. Typical examples of CCNs are beyond-5G cellular systems and critical communication systems, e.g., law enforcement, disaster relief, body- area, medical instruments, space, and indoor/outdoor commercial applications. A practical implementation of a CCN requires extending classical communication systems to embrace the dynamics of fully decentralized systems whose components might exhibit either cooperative, non-cooperative or even malicious behaviors to improve individual and/or global performance. In this context, CYBERNETS aims to develop a relevant understanding of the interactions between information theory, game theory and signal processing to tackle two particular problems from both theoretical and practical perspectives: (I) use of feedback and (II) behavior adaptation in fully decentralized CCNs. In the former, the main objectives are: (i) to determine the fundamental limits of data transmission rates in CCNs with feedback; and (ii) to develop and test in real-systems, transmit-receive configurations to provide a proof-of-concept of feedback in CCNs. For the achievement of these practical objectives, CYBERNETS relies on the world-class testbed infrastructure of INRIA at the CITI Lab for fully closing the gap between theoretical analysis and real-system implementation. In the latter, the main objectives are: (i) to identify and explore alternatives for allowing transmitter-receiver pairs to learn equilibrium strategies in CCNs with and without feedback; (ii) to study the impact of network-state knowledge on scenarios derived from the malicious behavior of network components.
New approaches to improve SME internationalisation support policies

Each European region has its own particular characteristics and yet show parallels in their challenges. The policy initiatives carried out by these regions are already helping a large number of SMEs to reach international markets. However, there is still potential to reach a larger number of SMEs and room to improve the internationalisation process. The project aims to foster the internationalisation of SMEs by means of entering the virtuous triangle “collaboration-innovation-internationalisation”. Collaboration among SMEs will help to overcome their size problem and hence will ease and promote their internationalisation and innovation processes. The exchange of experiences among partners and regional key agents will allow to find the best practises in fostering internationalisation. These results will encourage and facilitate collaboration among SMEs –at regional and interregional level- with the aim of providing them the best tools and conditions to access international markets successfully. The proposed interregional cooperation will involve public authorities, Structural Funds Managing Authorities and relevant key agents who will work together to deepen into the aspects to be developed in each region with special emphasis on SME cooperation and new innovative methods. All these actors will not be able to force SMEs to collaborate, however they can help them connect to other SMEs from different regions with their own experiences to share and needs to solve.Through this “connecting process” will arise a shared vision that will create an environment that promotes synergy, flexibility and sustainability. Inside Out EU addresses the barriers SMEs face when going international and will help them overcome these challenges.The output expected is the implementation of Action Plans resulting in an innovative improvement of regional policies addressing the subject which will hence contribute to achieve the objectives and results defined in the Interreg Europe Programme.

The four seasons in the Upper Adriatic. A tourist-environmental promotional campaign on the towns, the morphology and the natural environment of the Venetian-Slovenian coastal area.

Project “ST.A.AD.” consists of a wide environmental-tourist campaign concerning the urban centres located in the province of Venice and the corresponding areas in Slovenia and their economic life, their historical-artistic heritage, as well as the surrounding natural environment and its morphology. The initiative aims at drawing up three tourist guide, each concentrating on a specific aspect related to the Upper Adriatic area. The guides serve to highlight the similarities shared by the Venetian and the Slovenian areas, searching for their common historical, naturalistic and cultural heritage. A DVD will also be produced containing music by Vivaldi and Tartini as a soundtrack for images of Venice and the Slovenian coast, using music and images as a universal language. The project aims at promoting a new sustainable type of tourism, that is not characterised by seasonal aspects. Additionally, the project intends to direct the tourist flows towards smaller towns, the countryside and natural ecosystems, to stress the importance of environmental and territorial safeguard. “ST.A.AD.” is the natural continuation of the enhancement campaign of the Venetian- Slovenian territory and natural beauty, which started in 2004 with thematic projects such as “Voices and Sounds”, “Portolando Adriatico” and later on with “Holy itineraries”. Project partners intend to ensure continuity with the goals of previous projects, in terms of constant dissemination, support to the promotion and the fostering of an interest in the discovery of and a newly found appreciation for the cultural heritage and for often forgotten traditions.
Clinical validation of the cd32b biomarker on the european market

The overall objective of the proposed project is the clinical validation of a novel biomarker for B-cell malignancies. The presently most widely used anti-CD20 antibody treatment rituximab has considerably improved treatment options for patients with B-cell malignancies. However, effectiveness is limited by resistance to rituximab and reduced response on repeated treatments. Data indicates that tumor expression of CD32b is directly involved in the development of resistance to rituximab. CD32b has the potential to be used as predictive biomarker for critical clinical decisions for rituximab and related treatments, and will impact payers and patients. In addition, our company is developing a novel treatment – BI-1206 that specifically targets CD32b and significantly improves antitumor effects of rituximab alone. As such, the CD32b biomarker assay has the additional potential to become a companion diagnostic for BI-1206 and other future B-cell malignancy treatments. Our company and the affiliated research team have developed a flow cytometry assay for the detection of the CD32b receptor on tumor cells. The assay has been partially validated in a clinically relevant setting to demonstrate CD32b as a predicative biomarker of therapy response. To achieve market uptake of our technology, we aim to conduct a number of studies together with selected clinical partners in Europe. The objectives of the feasibility study are to find and contact researchers/clinicians for conducting retrospective and/or prospective studies, as well as to refine the business model for the commercialization of the biomarker assay. The intended users of our product are clinicians and therapy developers that focus on B-cell malignancies. By clinically validating a biomarker assay for B-cell malignancies and especially CLL, our company addresses an unmet European and global need for improved treatments for CLL, and B-cell malignancies in general.
Benchmarking and Improving Dimensional Quality on Modular Construction Projects – A Case Study

Dimensional quality plays a key role in project success for modular construction. While approaches exist for reducing rework associated with dimensional variability in traditional construction (i.e., onsite resolution), more proactive approaches must be employed during offsite production of modules. Unfortunately, the stricter dimensional quality demands in modular construction are not yet completely addressed in existing guidelines or studies. As such, contractors often must resort to use of reactive measures to reduce rework. This paper bridges this gap by demonstrating how to implement continuous benchmarking and improvement of dimensional quality by comparing as-built and nominal 3D geometric data across modular construction projects. A case study is presented for two nearly identical modular construction projects, which are carried out in succession. The first project is used to quantify and benchmark key impacts on overall dimensional quality, while strategic improvements are introduced in the second project to improve quality and reduce rework. The results of this study demonstrate how contractors can achieve adequate dimensional quality and reduce rework on successive modular construction projects.
Genetic dissection of the sema3c/neuropilin 1 signalling pathway in chronic kidney disease progression

Regardless of the initial insult, human Chronic Kidney Disease (CKD) is characterised by progressive destruction of the renal parenchyma and the loss of functional nephrons.  Renal fibrosis is the common end point of CKDs, the hallmark of which is the deposition of pathological matrix by myofibroblasts.  The worldwide incidence of CKD has reached epidemic proportions with an estimated 10-14% of the adult population known to have CKD.  A key challenge for medical planning is to better understand the mechanisms of CKD progression in order to target pharmaceutical interventions at the early stages of the disease.  
Semaphorins are guidance proteins which influence cellular morphology and function, and play important roles in organogenesis and disease.  We found that the secreted glycoprotein SEMA3C was upregulated in two mouse models of kidney injury and in prealbuminuric stages of paediatric CKD patients.  We also found that its receptor NRP1 was expressed in proliferating extracellular matrix-producing cells during CKD progression.  We propose to use genetically engineered mice to investigate the function of the SEMA3C/NRP1 signalling pathway in CKD progression with three major objectives: 
1.  Investigate whether SEMA3C and its receptor NRP1 promote CKD progression by analysing the levels of surgically-induced renal injury in mice deficient for Sema3C and Nrp1.
2.  Provide an improved mechanistic understanding of the disease by using cutting-edge technologies to unravel new signalling events promoting myofibroblast production and microvasculature rearrangement during kidney injury.
3.  Assay the use of SEMA3C as a potential biomarker in the diagnosis of CKD and its progression.   
This work will substantially contribute to our current understanding of the pathophysiology of CKD and open up new directions for the development of novel treatments targeting this disease spectrum.
Do cash transfers help the poor during trade liberalization? Evidence from Laos

Our objective is to assess the impact of trade liberalization and cash transfer programs on poverty and income distribution in Laos.We use the computable general equilibrium model and micro-simulation to assess the impact of transfer programs during trade liberalization.The results of this study indicate that cash transfers reduce poverty and narrow income inequality during trade liberalization. Policy-makers should promote development and implementation of cash transfer in Laos in order to protect poor people from the external shocks such the impact of trade liberalization. This finding might have significant impact on promotion of cash transfer programs in order to reduce poverty and income inequality.This is the first paper to investingate the impact of a cash transfer program on poverty in Laos during trade liberalization.
Exploring antiferromagnetic order at the nanoscale with a single spin microscope

EXAFONIS objectives venture into the emerging field of antiferromagnetic (AF) spintronics. By exploiting the unique performances offered by scanning NV-magnetometry, two major objectives will be pursued. The first objective aims at providing a comprehensive and thorough analysis of the microscopic mechanisms at the origin of AF manipulation when subjected to different external stimuli, including strain, electric fields and spin-polarized currents. Such studies still remain an almost uncharted research territory, despite highly-valuable promises of antiferromagnets for future spintronics devices providing fast, low-consumption and high-density storage capabilities. The second objective aims at demonstrating the first detection and efficient manipulation of magnetic skyrmions in an antiferromagnet. As such, EXAFONIS will pioneer the field of topological antiferromagnetic spintronics.
Single-Molecule dna sequencing through dna origami nanoantennas.

The inner working of many fundamental biological nanomachines implies many stochastic changes in conformation and molecular interactions. These changes are reflected as variability in the activity of the same molecule over time, and in heterogeneous activities between different molecules. By the direct observation at the molecular scale of these nanomachines activity, single-molecule fluorescence techniques have gained access to this stochastic information, which is otherwise missed by bulk techniques but is essential for their understanding. However, the widespread use of these techniques in many biological systems has been hampered by the low working concentration (nM) determined by the diffraction limit of light, and current nanophotonic solutions to this problem are technically too demanding.  Here, we propose self-assembled DNA origami nanoantennas as nanophotonic platforms aiming to break this concentration barrier by means of fluorescence signal enhancing and reduction of the observation volume. The versatility of DNA origami structures, biocompatibility and ability for site-directed immobilization of biomolecules, make them perfectly suited to perform complex biological assays. In the presented action we aim to achieve single-molecule fluorescence DNA sequencing using DNA origami nanoantennas to probe the potential of these platforms to perform complex bioassays, in the high concentration regime and demanding multiplexing. Moreover, since they avoid the fabrication and instrumental challenges related to other nanophotonic devices, self-assembly DNA origami nanoantennas are amenable, easy to handle and friendly technology to the biological experimenter, and thus we expect to boost their use in biology.  Besides, the fulfilment of this action will provide the fellow with a complete formative training that would boost his future scientific career, and will generate also a new DNA-sequencing technology that will impact positively European scientific excellence.
Discovering Linkage Patterns among Web Services Using Business Process Knowledge

Discovering relations among web services has been a fruitful research topic in services computing. Such relations are useful for service discovery, selection, composition, etc. The much information about web services is available, the better/more relations can be discovered. Based on the technical information provided in WSDL files, simple relations can be discovered. Finding more comprehensive relations requires additional information, such as semantic descriptions, information about service consumers, or service compositions. Rich semantic service descriptions are not so common in practice. Experiments have shown that similar users do not necessarily use the same web services. Using service compositions gives good results, however, researchers assume that they have access to such compositions, which is not the typical case in practice. Additionally, using service compositions is not sufficient to determine types and strengths of such relations. In this work, we propose a novel approach to discover relations among web services in the form of linkage patterns based on the configurations of business processes that use them. We specify types and weights of the discovered linkage patterns based on control flow patterns in business processes. We have implemented this approach using Oryx, a process modeling tool and repository, and Depot, a service registry, and validated it through real-world examples, as we show in this paper.
Automatic tool changing method and device for machine tool controlled by numerical controller

An automatic tool changing method and an automatic tool changing device for a machine tool with a numerical controller capable of reducing the occurrence of impact due to tool exchange with a simple structure. A turret that rotates about a pivot shaft is provided on an arm and holds multiple tools. A swing cam CS that cooperates with a swing roller provided on the turret is provided on a spindle head. As the spindle head descends the turret rotates due to the action of the swing roller and the cam CS and exchanges tools. In order to lessen the impact that occurs at this time, the velocity of the spindle head is controlled. The ideal swing velocity pattern for the turret is obtained, and from this swing velocity pattern the swing position of the turret at each moment is obtained. From the swing roller and cam CS positions at this position the position of the spindle head 34 is obtained. From the acquired spindle head position the spindle head velocity pattern is obtained, and the spindle head is controlled using this velocity pattern. As a result, an ideal swing pattern can be achieved, and therefore no impact arises.
Risk governance of nanotechnology

Engineered nanomaterials (ENMs) are covered by REACH/CLP regulations; the general opinion is that the risk assessment (RA) approach routinely used for conventional chemicals is also applicable to ENMs. However, as acknowledged by OECD and ECHA, the OECD and ISO Test Guidelines (TGs) and Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) need to be verified and adapted to be applicable to ENMs. RiskGONE will support the standardization and validation process for ENM by evaluating, optimizing and pre-validating SOPs and TGs and integrating them into a framework for risk governance (RG) of ENMs. The framework will comprise modular tools and will rely heavily on current strategies for the RA of conventional chemicals, complemented by methods for estimating environmental, social and economic benefits. It will incorporate ethical aspects and societal risk perception and will manage acceptable and unacceptable risks through transfer or mitigation. The focus of RiskGONE will be to produce nano-specific draft guidance documents for application to ENM RA; or, alternatively, to suggest ameliorations to OECD, ECHA, and ISO/CEN SOPs or guidelines. Rather than producing assays and methods ex novo, this will be achieved through Round Robin exercises and multimodal testing of OECD TGs and ECHA methods supporting the “Malta-project”, and on methods not yet considered by OECD. This process will be accelerated by guidance documents for data storage/curation/accessibility optimisation, applied to well-characterized reference ENMs typifying the main physicochemical and toxicological features of ENMs. A transparent, self-sustained RG council, representing EU stakeholders, member states, industry and civil society, will be established. The RG framework and methods developed by RiskGONE will be transferred to the RG council, which will act as a science-based governance body for ENMs safety and provide responsible 2-way communication with stakeholders and civil society, based on high quality information.
Anal Canal Cancer: Management of Inguinal Nodes and Benefit of Prophylactic Inguinal Irradiation (CORS-03 Study)

To evaluate the benefit of prophylactic inguinal irradiation (PII) in anal canal squamous cell carcinoma (ASCC).This retrospective study analyzed the outcome of 208 patients presenting with ASCC treated between 2000 and 2004 in four cancer centers of the south of France.The population study included 35 T1, 86 T2, 59 T3, 20 T4, and 8 T stage unknown patients. Twenty-seven patients presented with macroscopic inguinal node involvement. Of the 181 patients with uninvolved nodes at presentation, 75 received a PII to a total dose of 45-50 Gy (PII group) and 106 did not receive PII (no PII group). Compared with the no PII group, patients in the PII group were younger (60% vs. 41% of patients age <68 years, p = 0.01) and had larger tumor (T3-4 = 46% vs. 27% p = 0.01). The other characteristics were well balanced between the two groups. Median follow-up was 61 months. Fourteen patients in the no PII group vs. 1 patient in the PII group developed inguinal recurrence. The 5-year cumulative rate of inguinal recurrence (CRIR) was 2% and 16% in PII and no PII group respectively (p = 0.006). In the no PII group, the 5-year CRIR was 12% and 30% for T1-T2 and T3-T4 respectively (p = 0.02). Overall survival, disease-specific survival, and disease-free survival were similar between the two groups. In the PII group, no Grade >2 toxicity of the lower extremity was observed.PII with a dose of 45 Gy is safe and highly efficient to prevent inguinal recurrence and should be recommended for all T3-4 tumors. For early-stage tumors, PII should also be discussed, because the 5-year inguinal recurrence risk remains substantial when omitting PII (about 10%).
