The method for using the connector unit comprises of aligning the two or more structures to dock the two or more structures together, sealing the two or more structures, or one or more structures and an environment air tight with a seal or a sealing system, and affixing the two or more structures together to prevent relative movement of the two or more structures, or breakage of the seal or seal system.
A study of the origins anddevelopment of Great WarMemorials in the County ofGloucestershire (1917-1933)

Building upon the work of key writers such as Jay Winter and Robert Bushaway, this work
examines the memorials of the First World War as historic structures and records the local
monuments’ origins and original purpose within the county of Gloucestershire in contrast to
previous work on war memorialisation which has focused more on the role of the
monument in reflecting and strengthening national identity. After an initial county-wide survey,
three in-depth case studies of different sized communities, (the village of Cam, the town of
Cirencester and the City of Gloucester), are used to analyse the factors that most significantly
influenced the location, form, and timing of the erection of different war memorials at these
locations.
In addition to considering the significance of community over national factors, the study
explores the importance of different community size and of the groups within those
communities that most significantly determined memorial construction, including the
bereaved, the church and local government, and servicemen and ex-servicemen. Further, the
study examines the different memorial forms considered such as non-secular and secular,
monumental and utilitarian forms and other factors such as location, iconography, and the
form of the Roll of Honour in the development of memorials that were acceptable to the local
populations.
The research has drawn upon many previous academic studies on the subject of Great War
memorialisation, focusing on the historical perspective to compare how local memorials were
used in commemoration and how they maintained significance at local memorial sites within
the County of Gloucestershire. Through the analysis of this local involvement of the
generation at the time in the development process, the conclusion provides insight as to
whether the local war memorial’s role continues to provide the intended importance and
understanding as a place of local or national significance.
Improving the Performance of Wheat by Seed Priming Under Saline Conditions

Salinity is one of a major threat in harvesting good wheat stand on sustained basis. In this study, potential of seed priming techniques to improve the performance of wheat varieties (SARC-1 and MH-97) in a saline field was tested. For priming, wheat seeds were soaked in aerated solution of ascorbate (50 mg l−1; ascorbate priming), salicylic acid (50 mg l−1; salicylicate priming), kinetin (50 mg l−1; kinetin priming) and CaCl2 (50 mg l−1; osmopriming) for 12 h. For comparison, seeds were also soaked in simple water (hydropriming); in addition, untreated seeds were also taken as control. Seed priming treatments substantially improved the stand establishment; osmopriming (with CaCl2) was at the top however. Likewise maximum fertile tillers, grains per spike, 1000-grain weight, grain yield and harvest index were observed in plants raised from seeds osmoprimed (with CaCl2) followed by ascorbate priming in both the varieties tested. As an index of salinity tolerance, seed priming treatments also improved the leaf K+ contents with simultaneous decrease in Na+ concentration, osmopriming being the best treatment. Similarly, maximum total phenolic contents, total soluble proteins (TSP), α-amylase and protease activities were observed in osmoprimed (with CaCl2) seeds followed by ascorbate priming. Economic analysis also indicated that osmopriming is more viable with maximum net return and benefit-to-cost ratio. In conclusion, different seed priming treatments in wheat seeds improved the salinity tolerance nonetheless osmopriming (with CaCl2) was the most effective treatments to get higher grain yield and net return in both wheat varieties whereas kinetin was the least effective.
Demography, cultural change, and the diffusion of rice and millet during the jomon-yayoi transition in prehistoric japan

Human history is punctuated by episodes of large-scale diffusion of new ideas and people that lead to era-defining transitions in past societies. Investigating what promotes these events, how societies react to these, and what are their long-term consequences is a key to understand the fundamental drivers of cultural change. ENCOUNTER will push forward this research agenda by investigating the Jomon-Yayoi transition, a demic and cultural diffusion event that led the predominantly hunting, gathering, and fishing-based communities of the Japanese islands to adopt rice and millet farming during the 1st millennium BC. The continental migrants who triggered this transition event did not bring just a new economy, but also new technology and culture, deeply impacting the indigenous society. The transition was however not uniform, as different regions responded to the new culture in different ways. Some immediately adopted the new cultural repertoire to its full extent, others embraced only certain elements, and still others resisted for over 1,000 years, generating cultural, linguistic and genetic clines that are still tangible today. ENCOUNTER will investigate this pivotal moment in Japanese prehistory, seeking to determine why the indigenous inhabitants responded so differently to the arrival of the new culture. It will examine the dynamics of this transition by: synthesising one of the richest archaeological records available in the world; combining new and old lines of evidence across different disciplines, including organic chemistry, palynology, and material culture studies; and developing a suite of computational techniques to reconstruct patterns of demographic change and cultural diffusion. It will question the existing narrative that farming is inevitable and instead put new emphasis on the incumbent hunter-gatherer populations to understand their motivations to change subsistence strategies with respect to their environment settings and cultural affinities.
Perinatal life support system: integration of enabling technologies for clinical translation

Every year, 800.000 babies are born extremely preterm (EP; <28 weeks of age) worldwide. A large proportion of survivors from this group of smallest infants face lifelong disabilities, including breathing, cardiac, neurological and metabolic problems. Current treatment requires the preterm initiation of body functions for which the respective organs are not prepared. This affects primarily the lungs which need to provide gas-exchange under air (i.e. oxygen-based mechanical ventilation), and the gut, which is needed for energy and nutrition. This approach causes major therapy-related morbidity such as bronchopulmonary dysplasia, necrotizing enterocolitis and germinal matrix bleeding. The Perinatal Life Support (PLS) consortium envisions a medical device that can support the safe development of EP infants outside the womb by preserving the innate fetal cardiorespiratory physiology ex vivo, with the following enabling technologies:
1. A liquid-based environment with oxygen and nutrient exchange using an ´artificial placenta´; 
2. Continuous and non-invasive monitoring of fetal parameters such as heart rate and oxygenation;
3. Computational models for fast and objective clinical decision support based on physiological data input;
4. A fetal manikin that can accurately simulate EP infants in an intensive care setting.
The PLS project will be carried out by an interdisciplinary group of academia and industry with experience in modelling, monitoring, engineering, obstetrics and neonatology. The technology underlying PLS is applicable to conditions where ex vivo life support is required e.g. organ perfusion, regeneration and transplantation. The integrated system will allow major progress towards translation for an urgent medical need, where new solutions are lacking as preclinical models are inadequate and clinical trials not feasible. Innovative simulation technology will enable technical validation of PLS, with demonstration of functionality in a final Proof-of-Principle.
Heart failure patient management and interventions using continuous patient monitoring outside hospitals and real world data

Heart failure (HF) is a prominent chronic disease, despite efforts in improving its prevention, diagnosis and treatment, represents the leading cause of disability and premature death throughout the world, while being is a heavy burden on health systems due to the multiple, prolonged hospitalizations required for patients suffering from it and the related management costs. Nevertheless, studies have shown that routine patient-physician or patient-nurse communication following discharge can result in significant reduction of hospitalizations. The pertinent collected patient data may include simple yet important information (e.g. patient weight), as well as previously difficult to obtain information such as routine ECG, ICD/CRT-D interrogation and pulmonary arterial pressure monitoring, which are now within reach due to technological progress. Motivated by the above, RETENTION aims to develop and deliver an innovative platform supporting enhanced clinical monitoring and interventions aimed at improving the clinical management of patients with chronic HF, reducing their mortality and hospitalisation rates, and improving their quality of life, safety, and well-being. The RETENTION platform will support clinical decision making and evidenced based personalised interventions for HF patients by: (a) continually monitoring and collecting medical, clinical, physiological, behavioural, psychosocial, and real-world data for such patients, (b) analysing these data using innovative model-driven big data analytics, statistical, artificial intelligence and machine learning techniques, (c) detecting patterns in the HF disease progression and the quality of life of patients, (d) cross checking and validating them against the clinical literature, and (e) offering transparent, explainable and verifiable decision making capabilities that leverage the evidence produced by the underlying data analysis and augment clinical studies targeting HF and other CVDs. The RETENTION approach and it
Novel New Information Non-Equidistant Optimum GM(1,1) and its Application to Line-Drawing Data Processing in Computer Aided Design

Based on grey system, a new kind of new information non-equidistant optimum grey model GM(1,1) to line-drawing data processing in computer aided design was proposed in which the response function is based on new information x(tn) . The objective function is built to make the fitting mean relative error least and the program was compiled with bacterial foraging algorithm (BFA) combined with particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm to optimize the background value and modify the initial value x(tn) of response function. The method of precision inspection was introduced. The programming was authorized with MATLAB7.6 language. Two examples were given, their results were compared with the results based other Grey models, respectively. The method can be used for model establishing on equal interval, as well as on non-interval. Moreover, GM(1,1) model’s fitting precision and prediction is advanced and the scope of application is enlarged. The model is simple and practical, and has a generalizing value in the field of CAD.
Sustainable design and management of industrial assets through total value and cost of ownership

SoThe project will examine the potential of Total Value and Cost of Ownership (TVO, TCO) for supporting the design and through-life management of industrial assets.
Until now, some leading companies that are aware of all the costs throughout the asset life cycle use TCO to support procurement, operations and maintenance decisions. The benefit of using TCO is that a decision maker could be incentivised to go beyond the consideration of capital expenditure, and think of the potential whole-life cost arising through the use of their assets. In this regard, TCO helps achieving a cost-efficient life cycle management of the assets owned by the company. But TCO models are still poorly practiced in industry, in spite of their advantages. Further on, the flavour of the day in the industrial and academic world is to encourage innovative thinking to extract the maximum value from the assets, instead of thinking only about cost. Value can be tangible or intangible, and is determined by the organization and its stakeholders, thus TVO extends cost-based decisions. Although the importance of value maximisation in physical asset management is currently accepted, there are few works clarifying what value means, how to identify and quantify value, how to base decisions on it. The purpose of the project is to study the evolution of TVO and TCO as used in industry and understood by academics, with the aim to develop a framework for understanding, quantifying, and using TVO / TCO for decision-making. Overall, we aim at studying how asset life cycle management is possible thanks to TVO / TCO, providing the asset owner the capability to develop a sustainable factory according to the economic, social and environmental requirements of the local industry.Cross-fertilization of research and industry will be achieved through knowledge sharing between academics and industrial experts involved through interviews and workshops. Publications will provide outputs to promote knowledge sharing.
Implication of active structure in Ebinur Lake basin by stream length-gradient index and Hack profile

Ebinur Lake belongs to a rift lake together with Sachs Lake and Alakol Lake inside Kazakhstan on the Bolohkenu Fault Zone, and is an evolution result combined effects of tectonics and climate roles. River longitudinal profile can reflect various geomorphic and landform characteristics of its drainage basin. For better understanding the differential recent tectonic uplift of this tectonic belt, drainage basins and river networks were extracted based on ASTER GDEM data in this study. This study is focused on the profile of the 7 mainstreams of Ebinur Lake basin. The results illustrate that the main factor to cause the landform of the drainage basin is tectonic uplifting, instead of what proposed by Davis graded river theory. In a large-scaled view of gradient index, tectonic fault exhibits a strong influence on river profile in the study area.

Digital campaigning and electoral democracy

Overview: This project will set a new agenda and direction for the study of political campaigns. It will examine whether and how new digital technologies are transforming election campaigns and citizen behaviour in new and established democracies. More specifically, it will assess claims that democracies are now entering a new data-driven era of political campaigning that is profoundly reconfiguring how campaigns’ are run, who runs them and their implications for the quality of voter decision-making, the vibrancy of political parties and ultimately, the future of representative democracy. It will do so in three main stages: (1) First, it will define what data-driven campaigning is and critically assess whether it forms new and distinct era of electioneering in conceptual and historical terms? In particular, it will argue that the two key traits of this new mode of campaigning are the increased individualization or micro-targeting of party messages and the automated use of misinformation to mobilize and persuade voters. (2) Based on this definition it will map the ‘supply’ of the new mode of campaigning across new and older democracies by designing an innovative new index to compare use of data-driven techniques by parties. Where is it most commonly seen and why are some parties and countries more likely to promote its growth? (3) Finally, it will assess the impact of these new methods on key political actors and assess the consequences for the longer term future of liberal democracy. Does use of these techniques help counter recent declines in voter turnout by identifying under-mobilized groups? Or, do they ensure parties focus on the already engaged, bypassing those that are harder to reach? Can data-driven campaigning improve citizen choices by giving them the information on the issues they primarily care about or does it help to increase disinformation and even manipulation of voter choices?
Bayesian inference of stellar parameters based on 1D stellar models coupled with 3D envelopes

ABSTRACT Stellar models utilizing 1D, heuristic theories of convection fail to adequately describe the energy transport in superadiabatic layers. The improper modelling leads to well-known discrepancies between observed and predicted oscillation frequencies for stars with convective envelopes. Recently, 3D hydrodynamic simulations of stellar envelopes have been shown to facilitate a realistic depiction of superadiabatic convection in 1D stellar models. The resulting structural changes of the boundary layers have been demonstrated to impact not only the predicted oscillation spectra but evolution tracks as well. In this paper, we quantify the consequences that the change in boundary conditions has for stellar parameter estimates of main-sequence stars. For this purpose, we investigate two benchmark stars, Alpha Centauri A and B, using Bayesian inference. We show that the improved treatment of turbulent convection makes the obtained 1D stellar structures nearly insensitive to the mixing length parameter. By using 3D simulations in 1D stellar models, we hence overcome the degeneracy between the mixing length parameter and other stellar parameters. By lifting this degeneracy, the inclusion of 3D simulations has the potential to yield more robust parameter estimates. In this way, a more realistic depiction of superadiabatic convection has important implications for any field that relies on stellar models, including the study of the chemical evolution of the Milky Way Galaxy and exoplanet research.
Cofund on biotechnologies

The ERA-Net “Cofund on BioTechnologies” (ERA CoBioTech) aims to better use synergies between current mechanisms of biotechnology research funding in Europe, to highlight the benefits of a bio-based economy for society, and to thus maintain and strengthen Europe’s global lead in modern biotechnology.
The co-funded call will focus on application-oriented research in:
a) Synthetic biology approaches to design and construct new biological parts, devices and systems
b) Systems biology approaches to metabolic engineering and optimisation of biological processes
c) Identification and use of the metabolic potentials of genomic data
d) Chemical and biotechnological approaches to transform bio-based molecules into molecules with high added value.
Bundling three predecessor ERA-Nets in the area of biotechnology, ERA CoBioTech significantly increases public funding (call volume ~ 30 Mio €), intensifies collaboration across relevant sectors and countries, and thus
- advances RD&I in industrial biotechnology
- establishes systems and synthetic biology as technology drivers in applied biotechnology, and
- enhances the potential for exploitation through active industry involvement.
Necessary steps and measures to achieve these goals will be encompassed in a joint Strategic Agenda.
With a “European Biotechnology Hub”, ERA CoBioTech realises an entirely new concept, reaching out to key actors and stakeholders from multiple biotechnology-related areas in order to align different European strategic instruments with the goals of the KET biotechnology programme under Horizon 2020 and to increase public awareness of biotechnology for industrial uses.
ERA CoBioTech will implement additional funding activities without EC co-funding, which will advance RD&I in industrial biotechnology in line with the Strategic Agenda and the outcomes of the ""European Biotechnology Hub.""
ERA CoBioTech thus provides biotechnology stakeholders with tailor-made support regarding information, communication, networking and funding.
ECONOMIC FREEDOM &amp; HAPPINESS INEQUALITY: FRIENDS OR FOES?

This article examines the relationship between economic freedom and happiness inequality for a large sample of countries. We find that economic freedom is negatively associated with happiness inequality and robust to several alternative measures of happiness inequality, including the standard deviation, mean absolute difference, coefficient of variation, and Gini coefficient. Among the economic freedom areas, legal system and sound money are negatively correlated with happiness inequality. Drawing on the Engerman-Sokoloff hypothesis, we use a measure of factor endowments as an instrument for economic freedom to provide a further robustness test, finding a negative association between economic freedom and happiness inequality.
