Digital-Water.City - leading urban water management to its digital future

digital-water.city’s (DWC) main goal is to boost the integrated management of waters systems in five major European urban and peri-urban areas, Berlin, Milan, Copenhagen, Paris and Sofia, by leveraging the potential of data and smart digital technologies. DWC will create linkages between the digital and the physical worlds by developing and demonstrating 18 advanced digital solutions to address current and future water-related challenges; namely the protection of human health, the increase of performance and return on investment of water infrastructures and the involvement of citizens in urban water management. Areas of application of DWC digital solutions range from groundwater management, sewer maintenance and operation, wastewater treatment and reuse to urban bathing water management. DWC combines cutting-edge digital technologies such as augmented reality, open source software, cloud computing, real-time sensors, artificial intelligence, predictive analytics and decision support systems. DWC integrates the development of digital solutions in a dedicated guiding protocol to cover the existing gaps regarding ICT governance, interoperability, ontology and cybersecurity. Ultimately, DWC will provide an interoperable free flow of information among stakeholders and across the water value chain. DWC will generate the necessary conditions for co-creation and open innovation by the establishment of Community of Practices aiming at integrating stakeholder knowledge, ensuring the transferability of the digital solutions in other European or international contexts, supporting knowledge transfer beyond DWC and creating durable binding between European cities. The large scale assessment and communication of the benefits provided by the digital solutions in five major cities will serve as lighthouse, raising the awareness of European cities for a necessary digital transformation, and opening new market opportunities for DWC partners and European providers of digital solutions.
Environmentally induced antinociception and hyperalgesia in rats and mice

Stress can enhance and inhibit nociception depending on the situation. Thus, simply shifting the context from the elevated plus maze (EPM) which has been shown to produce stress-induced antinociception to a different environment could produce drastic and rapid changes in nociception. The present experiment tested this hypothesis by assessing nociception in rats and mice during and immediately after removal from the maze. Experiment 1 found hyperalgesia in female and male rats tested on the hot plate immediately after exposure to the elevated plus maze. This hyperalgesia occurred with or without the added stress of a hind paw formalin injection and regardless of whether rats were exposed to an EPM with open (oEPM) or enclosed (eEPM) arms despite a clear antinociceptive effect while on the oEPM. Experiment 2 showed a similar shift from antinociception to nociception on the formalin test in mice immediately after removing them from the EPM. These data demonstrate that a mild stressor such as the EPM can produce both antinociception and hyperalgesia depending on the context. This shift from antinociception to hyperalgesia occurs rapidly and is evident in mice, male and female rats, and with the hot plate and formalin tests.
Sustainable Textile Action for Networking and Development of circular economy business ventures in the Mediterranean.

There is a pressing need for transition to an environmentally and socially responsible circular model in the textile sector, a traditional key industry in the Mediterranean with an undoubtful cross-border nature. The very word “textile” seems Mediterranean like: clothes cross the sea basin from textile manufacturing to clothing production and from consumption to re-use and recycle. The solution to accelerate this transition is innovative entrepreneurship, which, in addition to its positive environmental benefits, will generate employment in the region. This transformation is the underlying idea behind STAND UP! which intends to support textile entrepreneurs and eco-innovative ventures in 5 countries and help them seize the business opportunities that the green evolution will generate. To achieve this ambitious goal, the project will undertake many actions in training, financial grants, market stimulation, technology transfer, IPR protection, etc. As a result, the SMEs of the textile and clothing sector will be more competitive and, at aggregate level, the value chain will be strengthened, and new Mediterranean cross-border linkages established
Preconception Cardiovascular Risk Factor Differences Between Gestational Hypertension and Preeclampsia

Preconception predictors of gestational hypertension and preeclampsia may identify opportunities for early detection and improve our understanding of the pathogenesis and life course epidemiology of these conditions. Female participants in community-based Cohort Norway health surveys, 1994 to 2003, were prospectively followed through 2012 via record linkages to Medical Birth Registry of Norway. Analyses included 13 217 singleton pregnancies (average of 1.59 births to 8321 women) without preexisting hypertension. Outcomes were gestational hypertension without proteinuria (n=237) and preeclampsia (n=429). Mean age (SD) at baseline was 27.9 years (4.5), and median follow-up was 4.8 years (interquartile range 2.6–7.8). Gestational hypertension and preeclampsia shared several baseline risk factors: family history of diabetes mellitus, pregravid diabetes mellitus, a high total cholesterol/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol ratio (&gt;5), overweight and obesity, and elevated blood pressure status. For preeclampsia, a family history of myocardial infarction before 60 years of age and elevated triglyceride levels (≥1.7 mmol/L) also predicted risk while physical activity was protective. Preterm preeclampsia was predicted by past-year binge drinking (≥5 drinks on one occasion) with an adjusted odds ratio of 3.7 (95% confidence interval 1.3–10.8) and by past-year physical activity of ≥3 hours per week with an adjusted odds ratio of 0.5 (95% confidence interval 0.3–0.8). The results suggest similarities and important differences between gestational hypertension, preeclampsia, and preterm preeclampsia. Modifiable risk factors could be targeted for improving pregnancy outcomes and the short- and long-term sequelae for mothers and offspring.

Paysage politique : nouvelles façons de regarder et d'agir dans les villes brésiliennes

Alors que la notion de paysage a été utilisée par les institutions publiques comme instrument de gestion territoriale, des groupes rebellés mobilisent certains paysages pour influencer l'agenda politique et revendiquer leurs droits. Le but de cet article est discuter comment certains paysages sont transformés en instrument d'action politique contemporaine par des citoyens non représentés par les instruments politiques traditionnels. Ces groupes transforment des paysages communs en paysages politiques, c'est-à-dire des paysages guidés par la sélection intentionnelle d'objets et de représentations présents dans l'espace public pour donner visibilité à leurs revendications. Aprés l'analyse des actions menées sur la statue de Borba Gato, à São Paulo, et dans la région de Pequena Africa, à Rio de Janeiro, nous soutenons que le paysage politique rend explicites les intérêts et les désirs des groupes, transformant les façons de regarder et agir sur l'espace.
Molecular Structure of 1-Germatrahol and its Complex With Chloroform

The crystal structures of anhydrous 1-germatranol and its complex with HCCl3 are centrosymmetrical dimers because of their intermolecular hydrogen bonds. In the germatranol crystal, the axial and equatorial oxygen atoms of its two molecules are hydrogen bonded into an eight-membered coordination cycle. In the complex with HCCl3, the two molecules of germatranol are likewise linked in dimers, and both axial oxygen atoms are H bonded with HCCl3. In the investigated structures, the axial Ge—O bond is shorter than the equatorial ones. Depending on the number and strength of the hydrogen bonds, the interatomic Ge—O and Ge ← N distances change markedly. The quantitative estimates of the H bond energy are obtained from quantum chemical calculations of the model systems containing 1-germatranol and HCCl3 molecules.
Coherent optics everywhere: a new dawn for photonic networks

The widespread adoption of the Internet and its influence on our daily life is unquestioned. Global Zettabyte traffic has rendered photonics as indispensable for the communication infrastructure. While direct signal detection has been dismissed in radio communications decades ago, it prevails in short- and medium-reach optics in virtue of its simplicity. In such an environment photonics can only rely on incremental improvements, whereas it desperately seeks for disruptive concepts.
COYOTE envisions a novel coherent homodyne transceiver concept for analogue signals and access to higher-order formats with efficiencies of 10 bits/symbol. On top of this, high-fidelity transport of multi-band 5G radio signals in the millimetre-wave range up to 100 GHz will be enabled by analogue coherent photonics while mitigating energy-hungry digital signal processing. COYOTE takes one more leap and dares the contradictory full-duplex data transmission in virtue of its novel reception engine to ultimately guarantee a lean solution with greatly simplified yet flexible “hardware”. 
The key asset of COYOTE’s coherent engine will be a locked laser with improved coherence characteristics together with a flexible modulator-detector element, which is capable to emulate direct-detection systems in a transparent way while giving birth to novel networking concepts. Exploration of the 3D Stokes and 2D quadrature spaces through a segmented receiver architecture will boost the spectral efficiency to >10 bits/s/Hz.
It is the lean and yet efficient coherent transceiver methodology of COYOTE that will remove the currently existing boundary between direct-detection and coherent systems in the midst of network reaches. By coherently “reviving” these telecom segments of integrated wireline-wireless access networks, optical interconnects for intra-datacentre connectivity and even quantum communication, an order-of-magnitude improvement in terms of spectral efficiency x reach product will be gained.
Operational data Processing and Techniques for Innovative MAINTenance (OPTIMAINT)

The road to Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) in the aerospace industry is a long and arduous one. To accelerate the journey, a collaborative research program called OPTIMAINT (Operational data Processing and Techniques for Innovative MAINTenance) was established in Singapore in 2008. Such a unique partnership involving an end user the Republic of Singapore Air Force (RSAF), the original equipment manufacturer Eurocopter (EC) with Eurocopter South East Asia (ESEA), and its corporate research entity European Aeronautic Defence and Space company (EADS) Innovation Works (IW), provides an unprecedented opportunity of sharing a common vision while acquiring invaluable insights into the many challenges of achieving CBM. The project aims to demonstrate the ability of HUMS (Health and Usage Monitoring Systems) to cover all degradation modes for selected components. Thus, fault detectability is at the heart of OPTIMAINT: a significant part of the project is dedicated to data investigation, data processing and degradation/anomaly detection. This paper covers the key steps of the ongoing project and shares some promising results obtained from historical HUMS data through the use of statistical and data mining techniques.
FALL PREVENTION DEVICE FOR A PLATFORM

The invention relates to a movable platform (20) having a fall prevention device (25) in a shaft (3) of an elevator system and a corresponding method for securing a movable platform (20) in an elevator system. The movable platform (20) preferably contains a complete machine room. The complete machine room is used in an expandable elevator for a building under construction. The movable platform (20) is arranged in the shaft (3) in such a way that the movable platform can be moved vertically along guide rails (23). In order to secure the movable platform (20) during movement, the fall prevention device (25) contains at least one arresting device (26), which is arranged on the movable platform (20) and which can be brought into engagement with the guide rail (23) if necessary. A locking element (28), which is arranged on the movable platform (20) and which interacts with a safety component (27, 27a) arranged along the movement path (S), can, if necessary, actuate the arresting device (26) of the movable platform (20) together with an arresting braking system (48) of the cab (43) attached to the movable platform, the locking element thus blocking a possible downward motion.

Lifetime and HIV-Related PTSD Among Persons Recently Diagnosed with HIV

This cross-sectional study sought to determine the percentage of individuals who met criteria for lifetime PTSD and HIV-related PTSD among 85 recently diagnosed HIV-positive patients attending public health clinics in the Western Cape, South Africa. The PTSD module of the Composite International Diagnostic Interview (CIDI) was used to determine the percentage of those who met criteria for lifetime PTSD and HIV-related PTSD. The rate of lifetime PTSD and incidence of HIV-related PTSD was 54.1% (95% CI: 43.6-64.3%) and 40% (95% CI: 30.2-50.6%), respectively. Findings suggest that receiving an HIV-positive diagnosis and/or being HIV-positive may be considered a stressor that frequently results in HIV-related PTSD. Given the various barriers to efficient mental health interventions and services in South Africa, there are significant challenges that need to be addressed in order to ensure that the mental health of HIV-positive individuals is appropriately addressed.
Meta-element antenna and array

An antenna having at least one main element and a plurality of parasitic elements. At least some of the elements have coupling elements or devices associated with them, the coupling elements or devices being tunable to thereby control the degree of coupling between adjacent elements. Controlling the degree of coupling allows a lobe associated with the antenna to be steered.
Content personalisation network

Diversity is one of the strengths of the European media industry. Europe is scattered with media companies, large and small, representing an enormous amount of cultural diversity. This is certainly also true for the European news production and publishing industry, a subset of the European media sector. Millions of content items have to find their way to millions of users. CPN will tackle the challenge by developing a new approach to personalisation of digital content, allowing both large and small media companies to benefit from the value of being able to better target content to media consumers. From the viewpoint of the media consumer, the challenge is to enable a better delivery of news, insights and informations in the right format at the right time, and better contextualized to the media consumer. 
To achieve this, CPN will build an innovative virtual open platform with pluggable services allowing both large and small media companies to effective personalise their content distribution. The proposed virtual open platform and services will be validate through large scale piloting activities with the different media organisation, integrating the virtual open platform with their existing operational infrastructure. In order to achieve all this, CPN brings together a strong multidisciplanary consortium having all the skills needed for a succesful project implementation. It includes broadcasters, media companies, different technology providers and legal expertise. Through the involvement of WAN-IFRA, wide visibility of the results is guaranteed.

Suicide Risk among Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgender Military Personnel and Veterans: What Does the Literature Tell Us?

Research suggests that both the military and veteran and the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender (LGBT) populations may be at increased risk for suicide. A literature review was conducted to identify research related to suicide risk in the LGBT military and veteran populations. Despite the paucity of research directly addressing this issue, themes are discussed evident in the literature on LGBT identity and suicide risk as well as LGBT military service members and veterans. Factors such as social support and victimization appear to be particularly relevant. Suggestions are made with respect to future research that is needed on this very important and timely topic.
Aggregate farming in the cloud

Farming is facing many economic challenges in terms of productivity and cost-effectiveness, as well as an increasing labour shortage partly due to depopulation of rural areas. Furthermore, reliable detection, accurate identification and proper quantification of pathogens and other factors affecting both plant and animal health, are critical to be kept under control in order to reduce economic expenditures, trade disruptions and even human health risks. 
AFarCloud will provide a distributed platform for autonomous farming that will allow the integration and cooperation of agriculture Cyber Physical Systems in real-time in order to increase efficiency, productivity, animal health, food quality and reduce farm labour costs. This platform will be integrated with farm management software and will support monitoring and decision-making solutions based on big data and real time data mining techniques. 
The AFarCloud project also aims to make farming robots accessible to more users by enabling farming vehicles to work in a cooperative mesh, thus opening up new applications and ensuring re-usability, as heterogeneous standard vehicles can combine their capabilities in order to lift farmer revenue and reduce labour costs.
The achievements from AFarCloud will be demonstrated in 3 holistic demonstrators (Finland, Spain and Italy), including cropping and livestock management scenarios and 8 local demonstrators (Latvia, Sweden, Spain and Czech Republic) in order to test specific functionalities and validate project results in relevant environments located in different European regions.
AFarCloud outcomes will strengthen partners’ market position boosting their innovation capacity and addressing industrial needs both at EU and international levels. The consortium represents the whole ICT-based farming solutions’ value chain, including all key actors needed for the development, demonstration and future market uptake of the precision farming framework targeted in the project.
Effects of Ethylene Absorbent on Quality Changes of Fresh Ginger Rhizomes during Modified Atmosphere Storage

Fresh ginger rhizomes were kept in sealed low density polyethylene (0.04 mm thickness) bags with and without an ethylene absorbent for 5 months at 12 1. The effects of ethylene removal on the changes in gas levels of the packages and quality characteristics of the rhizomes were studied. Oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the packages with ethylene absorbent were maintained higher and lower, respectively, compared to control. Decrease of L value and increase of a value in surface and internal tissue of the rhizomes were found to be higher in the rhizomes packaged with than without ethylene absorbent. Sprouting and rotting were restrained by ethylene absorbent treatment. Weight loss, flesh firmness, soluble solids content and pH were not affected by ethylene absorbent. Sensory score of appearance, odor and overall acceptability were higher in ginger packaged with than without ethylene absorbent. These results show that ethylene absorbent could be used for retarding the sprouting and rotting and for retention of the sensory quality of fresh ginger rhizomes.
