Survey and representation of vaults and cupolas: An overview on some relevant Italian UNESCO sites

This paper presents the results of an ongoing research on the survey of vaulted structures of important Italian monumental buildings belonging to UNESCO World Heritage Sites (Ravenna, Rome and Florence). The three case studies deal with various problems of documentation and representation of vaults and domes from different points of view: the first example is concerned with the conversion of apparent color texture from Structure from Motion applications into different maps able to represent heterogeneous BRDF behaviors; the second one illustrates the problem of virtual reconstruction of a partially collapsed ancient cupola using an integrated approach, and finally the last case study describes a technique for developing the eight sides of a textured mesh representing an octagonal frescoed dome. Therefore, the output of different examples, achieved with the combination of several applications, is presented to suggest a general overview regarding the documentation of vaulted spaces.

Preparation of legionaminic acid analogs of sialo-glycoconjugates by means of mammalian sialyltransferases

Legionaminic acids are analogs of sialic acid that occur in several bacteria. The most commonly occurring form is Leg5Ac7Ac, which differs from Neu5Ac only at the C7 (acetamido) and C9 (deoxy) positions. While these differences greatly reduce the susceptibility of Leg compounds to sialidases, several sialyltransferases have been identified that can use CMP-Leg5Ac7Ac as a donor (Watson et al. 2011). We report the successful modification with Leg5Ac7Ac of a glycolipid, GM1a, and two glycoproteins, interferon-α2b and α1-antitrypsin, by means of two mammalian sialyltransferases, namely porcine ST3Gal1 and human ST6Gal1. The Leg5Ac7Ac form of GD1a was not recognized by the myelin-associated glycoprotein (MAG, Siglec-4), confirming the importance of the glycerol moiety in the interaction of sialo-glycans with Siglecs.

Addiction to New Technologies and Cyber-Bullying in the Costa Rican Context

Addiction to new technologies (Internet, Smartphone and video games) as well as cyber-aggression present a growing incidence at a global level. A correlational investigation is proposed with a sample of N = 127 Costa Rican adolescents, with a mean age of 16.32 years, being 67 men and 60 women. The objective is to determine the prevalence of Internet, Smartphone and video game addiction and its close relationship with cyberbullying (cyber-victim role, cyber-aggressor role and mixed role) in the Costa Rican context. The results show a high rate of abusive use (connection time) on the Internet (Mean = 3,213, SD = 1,301) and “Smartphone” (Mean = 2,252, SD = 1,491), as well as the correlation study, the regressions multiple, backwards backward elimination method and the network analysis show how the behavior of cyber-bullies is mediated by 14.6% by “Lack of control Smartphone” (Standard Error = 0.059; Standardized = 0.382, t = 4.623, p < .001) and by 63.3% for “Escape and social problem video-games” (Standard Error = 0.102; Standardized = 0.612, t = 9.088, p <.001) while that of the victims by 35.9% for "Escape and social problem video-games" (Standard Error = 0.080; Standardized = 0.455, t = 5.108, p <.001); 14.8% for "Lack of control Smartphone" (Standard Error = 0.035; Standardized = 0.385, t = 4.667, p = <.001) and 6.9% for "Lack of control Internet" (Standard Error = 0.032; Standardized = 0.263, t = 3.042, p = 0.003). In addition, there is a strong relationship between holding both the role of cyber-victim and cyber-aggressor (r = 0.81, p <0.001), developing feelings of revenge and lack of empathy. The practical implications, the relevance of the socio-demographic and social explanatory variables of both phenomena are discussed. It is concluded, with the evidence of an explanatory and close relationship to the phenomena of cyber-victimization, cyber-aggression and addiction to the Internet, Smartphone and video games.
Output Tasks, Noticing, and Learning: Teaching English Past Tense to Iranian EFL Students

EFL Learners often have problems using the past tense accurately. In an attempt to solve their problem, this study was carried out to examine the effects of using two different types of output tasks on noticing and learning the English past tense. Sixty female school-age EFL learners were divided into groups of 18, 19, and 23 participants. A pretest was administered at the outset of the study, the scores of which proved that all the participants equally lacked the required accuracy in using the target structure. Therefore, five treatment sessions followed, during which the first two groups were given picture-cued writing tasks and reconstruction tasks respectively. The comparison group, however, did comprehension check-up tasks. Finally, a posttest was given. The results of the statistical analyses revealed that only the reconstruction group improved in their noticing of the target feature. However, both experimental groups equally promoted their learning of the form.
REGULATING VALVE

Thermomechanical regulating valve comprising a valve housing (4) provided with a first and second fluid inlet (10; 12) and a fluid outlet (14), with a chamber (6) which is connected to the inlets and outlet, in which chamber a valve closing body (8) is displaceably arranged for regulating the connection between the inlets and outlet. For comparing the temperatures of the fluid flows fed to the chamber (6) via the inlets, a temperature sensing adjusting device (16; 18) is inserted in each inlet, with a motion transmitting element (20; 22) articulated to the valve closing body, the movement of which elements, caused by the respective adjusting devices, gives rise to displacement and rotation of the valve closing body in the chamber to a position in contact with a seat, in which position the respective inlet is closed.
Distribution of the Common Squid Todarodes pacificus Paralavae in the Southern Coastal Waters in the East Sea in August and September 2013

Paralarvae of the common squid, Todarodes pacificus Steenstrup were sampled with the bongo net (diameter: 60 cm, mesh: ) by using oblique tow method with the oceanographic research vessel (Tamgu 12) at 21 stations along the southwestern coastal waters of the East Sea in August and September, 2013. Paralarvae were collected 16 ind./ in August and 7 ind./ in September at approximately, and bottom depth was from 70 m to 500 m. Mantle length of paralarvae was from 1.7 to 6.0 mm. Paralavae were distributed mainly in offshore stations in August and near by Cape Janggi in September. Optimum embryo survival temperature () was formed shallower than 35 m depth for almost stations where paralarvae were existed, and survival temperature () for embryo stage was located shallower than 75 m.
In situ Synchrotron X-ray Powder Diffraction Study of the Early Hydration of α-tricalcium Phosphate/tricalcium Silicate Composite Bone Cement

Bioactivity, osteogenicity and mechanical properties of α-tricalcium phosphate (α-TCP) based phosphates cements can be improved by adding tricalcium silicate (C3S); however, the addition of C3S delays the precipitation and growth of calcium deficient hydroxyapatite (CDHA). Thus, the aim of this work was the study of in situ setting reaction of α-TCP/C3S composite bone cement under high energy X-ray generated by a synchrotron source within the first 72h. The results showed that the addition of C3S induces the precipitation of nanosized CDHA at early times depending on the added content. Calculated crystallite sizes showed that the higher the content of C3S, the smaller the crystal size at the beginning of the precipitation. These results are different from those obtained by conventional XRD method, suggesting that the proposed technique is a powerful tool in determining the composition and extent of reaction of CPCs surfaces in real time.
Botanicals Risk Assessment training in the Mediterranean Area

Botanicals and botanical preparations, thanks to their health benefits, are proving to be one of the economically and scientifically most promising sectors of the bioeconomy. The Mediterranean area can provide the natural resources (indigenous species, growing conditions) and business environment for further development in this field. However, due to a fierce international competition, the ever increasing demand of consumers for natural products needs to be supported by quality control and adequate risk assessment of botanicals and botanical preparations as well as scientific and technical excellence. To this end, BRAMA will focus on the training and professionalisation of a group of experts (researchers, inspectors and technicians) in the field of safety evaluation and risk assessment of botanicals.
COOLABLE LAYER SYSTEM

Even a layer system, provided with a protective coating and used in a hot gas atmosphere needs to be cooled. However, said cooling is often insufficient, as far as cooling pipes are arranged relatively far from the external surface of said layer system. In order to solve the problem, the inventive coolable layer system (1) consists of intersecting cooling pipes (10).
Coupling data and techniques for breakthroughs in exoplanetary systems exploration

Exoplanetology has become a major topic in astronomy over the last 30 years. New observing capabilities and
modelling have revolutionised the understanding of how planetary systems form and evolve. Yet, the 5-20 au
region, where the giant planets formed by accretion of gas on to a solid core are supposed to form predominantly, 
remains barely explored due to instrumental limitations. GAIA and the E-ELT instruments will be well suited to 
explore planetary systems at this scale. However, I believe that exploring this region is possible right now, at a 
small cost, with the use of recent innovative signal processing developments applied to current High Contrast 
Imaging (HCI) data and/or the use of high-performance, AO-fed medium/high resolution spectrographs. 
With COBREX, I want to apply such new data processing techniques on the largest library of SPHERE and GPI 
HCI data to gain at least one order of magnitude (hence a gain of ~3 in mass/separation) on current planet and disk 
detection limits in the 5-20 au region. This will allow witnessing, for the first time, analogues of our Solar System 
Giants at early ages, and constraining the distribution of GPs in the 5-20 au. Combining in different ways various 
data (HCI, GAIA, RV) will allow exploring the demography of young giant planets at all separations. Then, I want 
to couple HCI with medium/high resolution spectroscopy, to find and study planet properties into exquisite details, 
and investigate in an unprecedented way the link between disks and planets. Finally, I wish to explore the possibility 
of imaging remote magmatic super-Earths in the near future thanks to such improvements.
Poster - Thur Eve - 19: Performance assessment of a 160-leaf beam collimation system

In this study, the performance of the new beam collimation system with 160 leaves, each with a 5 mm leaf width projected at isocenter, is evaluated in terms of positional accuracy and plan/delivery quality. Positional accuracy was evaluated using a set of static and dynamic MLC/jaw delivery patterns at different gantry angles, dose rates, and MLC/jaw speeds. The impact on IMRT plan quality was assessed by comparing against a previous generation collimation system using the same optimization parameters, while delivery quality was quantified using a combination of patient-specific QA measurements with ion chambers, film, and a bi-planar diode array. Positional accuracy for four separate units was comparable. The field size accuracy, junction width, and total displacement over 16 cm leaf travel are 0.3 ± 0.2 mm, 0.4 ± 0.3 mm, and 0.5 ± 0.2 mm, respectively. The typical leaf minor offset is 0.05 ± 0.04 mm, and MLC hysteresis effects are 0.2 ± 0.1 mm over 16 cm travel. The dynamic output is linear with MU and MLC/jaw speed, and is within 0.7 ± 0.3 % of the planning system value. Plan quality is significantly improved both in terms of target coverage and OAR sparing due, in part, to the larger allowable MLC and jaw speeds. γ-index pass rates for the patient-specific QA measurements exceeded 97% using criteria of 2%/2 mm. In conclusion, the performance of the Agility system is consistent among four separate installations, and is superior to its previous generations of collimation systems.

Anti-reflux mucosectomy for gastroesophageal reflux disease in the absence of hiatus hernia: a pilot study.

In our previous case report of circumferential mucosal resection for short-segment Barrett's esophagus with high-grade dysplasia, symptoms of gastro-esophageal reflux disease (GERD) were significantly improved. This observation suggests that anti-reflux mucosectomy (ARMS) could represent an effective anti-reflux procedure, with the advantage that no artificial devices or prostheses would be left in situ.In this pilot study, 10 patients with treatment-refractory GERD received ARMS, 2 of whom circumferential, and the remaining 8 crescentic.Key symptoms of GERD improved significantly after ARMS. In the DeMeester score, mean heartburn score decreased from 2.7 to 0.3 (P=0.0011), regurgitation score from 2.5 to 0.3 (P=0.0022), and total score from 5.2 to 0.67 (P=0.0011). At endoscopic examination, the flap valve grade decreased from 3.2 to 1.2 (P=0.0152). In 24-h esophageal pH monitoring the fraction of time at pH <4 improved from 29.1% to 3.1% (P=0.1). Fraction time absorbance more than >0.14 of bile reflux was controlled from 52% to 4% (P=0.05). In 2 cases of total circumferential resection, repeat balloon dilation was necessary to control stenosis. In all cases, proton pump inhibitor prescription could be discontinued with no ill effects.This initial case series demonstrated the potential anti-reflux effect of ARMS, with a crescentic mucosal resection appearing adequate. Further longitudinal study of patients without sliding hiatus hernia will be required to establish ARMS as an effective technique to control GERD in this setting.
Crowdsourcing Attacks on Biometric Systems

We introduce a new approach for attacking and analyz- ing biometric-based authentication systems, which involves crowdsourcing the search for potential impostors to the sys- tem. Our focus is on voice-based authentication, or speaker verification (SV), and we propose a generic method to use crowdsourcing for identifying candidate for speak- ers in a given target population. We then conduct a prelim- inary analysis of this method with respect to a well-known text-independent SV scheme (the GMM-UBM scheme) us- ing Mechanical Turk as the crowdsourcing platform. Our analysis shows that the new attack method can iden- tify mimics for target speakers with high impersonation suc- cess rates: from a pool of 176 candidates, we identified six with an overall false acceptance rate of 44%, which is higher than what has been reported for professional mimics in prior voice-mimicry experiments. This demonstrates that na¨ove, untrained users have the potential to carry out imperson- ation attacks against voice-based systems, although good imitators are rare to find. (We also implement our method with a crowd of amateur mimicry artists and obtain similar results for them.) Match scores for our best mimics were found to be lower than those for automated attacks but, given the relative difficulty of detecting mimicry attacks vis- ´ automated ones, our method presents a potent threat to real systems. We discuss implications of our results for the security analysis of SV systems (and of biometric systems, in general) and highlight benefits and challenges associated with the use of crowdsourcing in such analysis.
A context-aware service composition scheme for service overlay network

The distributed services over the Internet have been inter-connected by service composition using Service-Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Service Delivery Platform (SDP) technologies. These technologies were integrated within Service Overlay Network (SON) infrastructure to support managed control and delivery of composite services over multiple network domains. However, previous SON approaches have mainly focused on the transport of the services but little on user's expectation of service delivery. To consider Quality of Experience (QoE) of users in delivery of composite services, we propose a context-aware service composition scheme for SON. In this paper, we introduce the basic concept of SON, and provide a comprehensive review of the proposed ideas by describing system architectures and algorithms.

Nanostructural surface development for dental implant manufacturing

The project NanoSurf is targeted to strengthen international and intersectoral collaboration in dental implant research, sharing new ideas and knowledge transfer from research to market and vice versa. We will investigate nanostructured metal oxide coatings, 3D scaffolds, obtained by electrospinning deposition of organic nanofibers and lazer patterning of the implant surface using biotechnology, cell engineering and nanotechnology. Interdisciplinary project research and innovation goals are targeted to develop a new class of dental implants with advanced mechanical properties and improved surfaces, treated with nanotechnological methods which will demonstrate high biocompatibility, antibacterial properties and integration with a patient’s bone. The developed devices will simplify dental surgery and avoid bacterial inflammatory complications after the implant surgery. This can provide better dental services and improve health of EU society.  
The project partners will provide research and training activities in the fields of fabrication and characterization of Zirconium-Titanium (ZrTi) alloy-based dental implants, sol-gel deposition of metal oxides, biopolymers and organic/inorganic nanolaminates, laser patterning, electrospinning, structural characterization, cell engineering, modeling analysis and commercialisation of scientific achievements from research results to final product.
Research and management training will be provided to experienced and early stage researchers to strengthen their personal skills, improve their track record and expertise via new scientific papers and conference presentations and strengthen a development of EU research human resources. Long lasting collaboration between partners, based on co-supervising students and preparation of novel collaborative project proposals is foreseen. Dissemination of project results will make an impact on development of EU research potential in the fields of bio-, nanotechnology and applied science.
