Measuring procedures of cutting edge preparation when hard turning with coated ceramics tool inserts

• Main fields in research of cutting edge preparation and evaluative figures resulting from tool edge measurement. • Cutting edge roughness, coated tool inserts and their scratch test data. • Hard machining with coated ceramics and sequence of tool performance testing. • Performance testing criteria related to the prepared cutting edge and machined surface. • Representation of data derived from measuring units. In this paper, the authors introduce the methodology of combined studies on cutting edge preparation and tool performance testing. Five main fields of research on cutting edge preparation are identified in this study of cutting edge preparation while cutting edge microgeometry consists of data associated with tool edge and rake face. Uncoated and TiN coated mixed oxide ceramics inserts have been tested concerning their microgeometry and wear resistance and there is presented a sequence of measuring to identify cutting edge preparation and properties of coating. Authors propose the sequence which considers cutting edge preparation as a factor controlling performance of cutting edge in hard turning operations. Four steps in the sequence of performance testing include measurements with effects of wear criterion and machining time. Measured results show that combined effects of both preparation and coating reduce considerably friction forces in scratch tests and there is very negligible change of microhardness of uncoated and coated ceramics. Relationships between cutting edge microgeometry and acceptable machined surface roughness which results from the sequence in tool performance testing have been identified. Finally, tool performance indices are based on units which characterize machined surface roughness, tool edge wear and forces when hard turning.
Microbial genome defence pathways: from molecular mechanisms to next-generation molecular tools

The constant arms race between prokaryotic microbes and their molecular parasites such as viruses, plasmids and transposons has driven the evolution of complex genome defence mechanisms. The CRISPR-Cas defence systems provide adaptive RNA-guided immunity against invasive nucleic acid elements. CRISPR-associated effector nucleases such as Cas9, Cas12a and Cas13 have emerged as powerful tools for precision genome editing, gene expression control and nucleic acid detection. However, these technologies suffer from drawbacks that limit their efficacy and versatility, necessitating the search for additional exploitable molecular activities. Building on our recent structural and biochemical studies, the goal of this project is to investigate the molecular architectures and mechanisms of CRISPR-associated systems and other genome defence mechanisms, aiming not only to shed light on their biological roles but also inform their technological development. Specifically, the proposed studies will examine (i) the molecular basis of cyclic oligoadenylate signalling in type III CRISPR-Cas systems, (ii) the mechanism of transposon-associated type I CRISPR-Cas systems and their putative function in RNA-guided DNA transposition, and (iii) molecular activities associated with recently described non-CRISPR defence systems. Collectively, the proposed studies will advance our understanding of the molecular functions of genome defence mechanisms in shaping the evolution of prokaryotic genomes and make critical contributions to their development as novel genetic engineering tools.

REgenerating mixed-use MED urban communities congested by traffic through Innovative low carbon mobility sOlutions

REMEDIO aims at strengthening the capacity of cities to use low carbon transport systems and include them in their mobility plans by testing existing mobility solutions, through an assessment tool and participatory governance schemes that result in an operational path replicable by other MED urban areas with different city sizes.
It addresses the challenge of the high density areas surrounding the city centres with commercial and directional roads often suffering from traffic jam to the point of becoming wounds in the connectivity of the wide spread city and elements of additional economic crisis and even social exclusion.
For such congested roads, REMEDIO proposes to transform them into “horizontal condominiums”, forms of participatory governance that actively engage institutions, stakeholders and citizens and with which the Municipality can directly interact to improve multi-modal and low carbon mobility, freight logistic and environmental quality.
REMEDIO also implements concrete actions to relieve traffic congestion in Treviso (IT), Thessaloniki (EL), Loures (PT), Split (HR) and Seville (ES), where territorial institutions, supported by research/technical partners, are involved as beneficiary partners and can put in place adaptation measures for improving the sustainability of urban mobility plans.
The involvement of a partner acting within the CAT-MED network is promising for the transfer of the tested solutions to a wider audience of cities/regions of MED and EU areas.
Has Epizootic Become Enzootic? Evidence for a Fundamental Change in the Infection Dynamics of Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza in Europe, 2021

Phylogenetic evidence from the recent resurgence of high-pathogenicity avian influenza (HPAI) virus subtype H5N1, clade 2.3.4.4b, observed in European wild birds and poultry since October 2021, suggests at least two different and distinct reservoirs. We propose contrasting hypotheses for this emergence: (i) resident viruses have been maintained, presumably in wild birds, in northern Europe throughout the summer of 2021 to cause some of the outbreaks that are part of the most recent autumn/winter 2021 epizootic, or (ii) further virus variants were reintroduced by migratory birds, and these two sources of reintroduction have driven the HPAI resurgence. Viruses from these two principal sources can be distinguished by their hemagglutinin genes, which segregate into two distinct sublineages (termed B1 and B2) within clade 2.3.4.4b, as well as their different internal gene compositions. The evidence of enzootic HPAI virus circulation during the summer of 2021 indicates a possible paradigm shift in the epidemiology of HPAI in Europe.
In Vitro Modeling of the Neurovascular Environment by Coculturing Adult Human Brain Endothelial Cells with Human Neural Stem Cells

Brain and vascular cells form a functionally integrated signalling network that is known as the neurovascular unit (NVU). The signalling (autocrine, paracrine and juxtacrine) between different elements of this unit, especially in humans, is difficult to disentangle in vivo. Developing representative in vitro models is therefore essential to better understand the cellular interactions that govern the neurovascular environment. We here describe a novel approach to assay these cellular interactions by combining a human adult cerebral microvascular endothelial cell line (hCMEC/D3) with a fetal ganglionic eminence-derived neural stem cell (hNSC) line. These cell lines provide abundant homogeneous populations of cells to produce a consistently reproducible in vitro model of endothelial morphogenesis and the ensuing NVU. Vasculature-like structures (VLS) interspersed with patches of differentiating neural cells only occurred when hNSCs were seeded onto a differentiated endothelium. These VLS emerged within 3 days of coculture and by day 6 were stabilizing. After 7 days of coculture, neuronal differentiation of hNSCs was increased 3-fold, but had no significant effect on astrocyte or oligodendrocyte differentiation. ZO1, a marker of adherens and tight junctions, was highly expressed in both undifferentiated and differentiated endothelial cells, but the adherens junction markers CD31 and VE-cadherin were significantly reduced in coculture by approximately 20%. A basement membrane, consisting of laminin, vitronectin, and collagen I and IV, separated the VLS from neural patches. This simple assay can assist in elucidating the cellular and molecular signaling involved in the formation of VLS, as well as the enhancement of neuronal differentiation through endothelial signaling.
Support it solution for creative fashion designers by integrated software systems to collect, define and visualize  textile and clothing trends through innovative image analysis from open data

The objective of the SOMATCH is to improve the competitiveness of EU SMEs in Textile and Clothing (T&C) and design focused sectors by the collection, definition and visualization by ad hoc interfaces of  fashion trends.  SOMATCH will provide creative designers with detailed and reliable trends estimations and forecasts of user acceptance. Its goal will be achieved by the creation of an innovative tool for the mining and visualization of large sets of unstructured data, related to the use and preferences of fashion products by consumers, supporting T&C companies quick reaction to the market dynamics and better adaptation of design to real consumers’ demand.
SOMATCH faces this complex and challenging deal by the combined development and application of SoA advanced image analysis technology, unexploited and innovative in clothing and fashion, combined with social network analysis. Its results will be presented to interested end users by dedicated interfaces and instruments: mobile devices as well as ad hoc visualization tools will be explored for this purpose. 
The visualisation of the generated data will be performed from off-line statistics, generated after data processing, and by  new  real-time instruments for image collection and evaluation of designs.  They will be targeted also by the integration of the systems with new SoA mobile and wearable (for ex. Google Glass) devices to collect information and to visualise trend interpretation. This approach will open a vast field of new approaches for the fashion designers, supporting final users involvement into the whole trend evaluation and a close interaction with them.
To reach this purpose Somatch consortium includes research centres expert in image and content analysis (TUM, UPC), software providers experts in data management, platform development and fashion tools (Holonix. Sparsity, Ideal), end users from SME textile industry and retail (DENA) and social networking and e-commerce (Weblogs, NJAL).
Interactions between cathodically protected pipelines and grounding systems

Buried pipelines carrying hazardous products are mandated to be protected against corrosion, generally via layer(s) of coating materials integrated with active cathodic protection systems. Impressed-current systems, normally adopted for larger or longer structures, force the pipeline to behave as a cathode, therefore providing protection against corrosion of its exposed parts when the coating fails. Cathodically protected pipelines may, however, be buried in proximity of grounding electrodes, such as ground grids of substations; thus, they may need to be bonded to the grid to prevent, or lower, the risk of metal-to-metal touch voltages, as indicated in applicable technical standards. This bonding connection, required for the safety of the electrical operators, may, however, compromise the effectiveness of the cathodic protection, as well safety. In this paper, the authors explore the issues introduced by the coexistence of grounding systems and cathodic protection systems, and propose possible solutions to insure safety and, at the same time, protect assets and the environment from corrosion.
Stripe patterns: Role of initial state and boundary conditions

This paper presents results on stripe patterns by numerical solution of the Swift-Hohenberg equation. The focus is on the role of initial state and boundary conditions. We choose initial states which generate simple defect configurations and study their evolution. Various classes of defects are identified and their motion and relaxation is studied numerically. We first study the dynamics of a straight front and present a comparison of numerical results with some analytical results. We then study the domain-wall dynamics in configurations containing two and three domains and identify some mechanisms of their relaxation. Rates of domain-wall relaxation depend on several features like incommensuration, dislocations and orientations in neighboring domains, in addition to the curvature of the walls. For a generic class of domain walls the relaxation process has an intrinsic frustration which leads to generation of dislocations. This process also generates stripe curvature thereby making relaxation nonmonotonic. We have also generated some other topological defects and studied their evolution and the effect of boundary conditions on their stability.

Active learning for clinical text classification: is it better than random sampling?

Objective This study explores active learning algorithms as a way to reduce the requirements for large training sets in medical text classification tasks.

Design Three existing active learning algorithms (distance-based (DIST), diversity-based (DIV), and a combination of both (CMB)) were used to classify text from five datasets. The performance of these algorithms was compared to that of passive learning on the five datasets. We then conducted a novel investigation of the interaction between dataset characteristics and the performance results.

Measurements Classification accuracy and area under receiver operating characteristics (ROC) curves for each algorithm at different sample sizes were generated. The performance of active learning algorithms was compared with that of passive learning using a weighted mean of paired differences. To determine why the performance varies on different datasets, we measured the diversity and uncertainty of each dataset using relative entropy and correlated the results with the performance differences.

Results The DIST and CMB algorithms performed better than passive learning. With a statistical significance level set at 0.05, DIST outperformed passive learning in all five datasets, while CMB was found to be better than passive learning in four datasets. We found strong correlations between the dataset diversity and the DIV performance, as well as the dataset uncertainty and the performance of the DIST algorithm.

Conclusion For medical text classification, appropriate active learning algorithms can yield performance comparable to that of passive learning with considerably smaller training sets. In particular, our results suggest that DIV performs better on data with higher diversity and DIST on data with lower uncertainty.

Influence of Aging Process on the Crystalline Structure and Electrochemical Properties of LiNi<sub>0.8</sub>Co<sub>0.1</sub>Mn<sub>0.1</sub>O<sub>2</sub> Cathode Material

Ni 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 (OH) 2 precursors prepared by co-precipitation method were served to synthesize LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 0 2 cathode materials by sintering with LiOH·H 2 O at high temperature. It is shown from XRD analysis and electrochemical measurements that these precursors synthesized at different aging time are all composed of two phases, α-Ni (OH) 2 and β-Ni (OH) 2 .With aging process lasting longer,relatively content of α-Ni (OH) 2 in precursors increase , peak intensity ratios of I (003) /I (104) in LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 0 2 get larger, the more complete of layer structure, the lower of Li + /Ni 2+ cation mixing. Results indicate that the existence and content increase of α-Ni (OH) 2 phase with aging process lasting can inhibit the cation mixing efficaciously. LiNi 0.8 Co 0.1 Mn 0.1 0 2 obtained from precursor aged 12h has a good cyclic performance, capacity retention rate reaches 92.8% after 30 cycles.
Quantum measurements with bose-einstein condensates strongly coupled to nanophotonic structures

Most of the technologies at the heart of our information society, including the semiconductor and the laser, are based on the laws of quantum mechanics. Yet, there is still a lot to gain in harnessing quantum physics at the elementary level, for example to overcome the sensitivity limits in various kinds of measurements in the quantum regime. In this project, we plan to explore an emerging field of quantum technologies at the boundary between atomic physics and nanoscience, by studying the properties of Bose-Einstein condensates coupled to the evanescent field of nanophotonic structures. We will use this new light-matter interface to build a hybrid quantum gyroscope where the optical Sagnac effect in a photonic integrated circuit is enhanced by slow light in a Bose-Einstein condensate strongly coupled to it. The optical structures will be integrated on atom chips, for improved stability and scalability. Beyond the gyroscope itself, this work will create new prospects for combining the technological opportunities of nanophotonics with the very fruitful field of atomic physics, opening new avenues in quantum technologies, which are expected to become in the near future a key driver for the European competitiveness in information technology.
