Das Florilegium Vindobonense des Codex Philologicus Graecus 169 Parerga codicologica

The present article deals with an anthology of classical poetry being part of a bilateral research and edition project between the Eötvös József Collegium, the University of Piliscsaba and the Institute for Byzantine Studies of the Austrian Academy of Sciences. This alphabetical anthology is transmitted in Codex Philologicus Graecus 169 of the Austrian National Library (14th century) and contains gnomological excerpts from classical poets like Homer, Hesiod, Pindar and the tragedians as well as Aristophanes, authors whose works the scholars of the Palaiologian area focused on. Also the Viennese collection is a typical product of a scholars’ circle of the 14th century. The manuscript itself is well known because of another text, the so called Lexicon Vindobonense, now to be identified as the work of Andreas Lopadiotes. On the basis of the analysis of Augusto Guida the article concentrates on the codicological and palaeographical examination of the quires (in the present status the original sequence is disturbed by wrong binding) as well as the palaeographical units (of the main scribe and some additional hands).
Pulp response to high fluoride releasing glass ionomer, silver diamine fluoride, and calcium hydroxide used for indirect pulp treatment: An in-vivo comparative study

The study aims at determining pulp response of two high fluoride releasing materials silver diamine fluoride (SDF) and Type VII glass ionomer cement (GIC) when used as indirect pulp treatment (IPT) materials.Deep Class V cavities were made on four first premolars indicated for extraction for orthodontic reasons. SDF, Type VII GIC, and calcium hydroxide base are given in three premolars, and one is kept control. Premolars were extracted 6 weeks after the procedure and subjected to histopathological examination to determine the pulp response. The results were analyzed using Chi-square test.No inflammatory changes were observed in any of the groups. Significantly more number of specimens in SDF and Type VII GIC groups showed tertiary dentin deposition (TDD) when compared to control group. No significant difference was seen in TDD when intergroup comparison was made. Odontoblasts were seen as short cuboidal cells with dense basophilic nucleus in SDF and Type VII GIC group.The study demonstrated TDD inducing ability of SDF and Type VII GIC and also established the biocompatibility when used as IPT materials.
Dynamic programming approach (DPA) for assessment of water quality network: a case study of the Sefīd-Rūd River

Due to financial constraints, water quality monitoring network design is an efficient way to manage water quality. The most crucial part is to find appropriate locations for monitoring stations. Considering the objectives of water usage, we evaluate existing water quality sampling stations of the Sefīd-Rūd River, located in the north of Iran, which has been used for irrigation and drinking water. There are several methods for assessment of existing monitoring stations such as Sanders method, multiple criteria decision making and dynamic programming approach (DPA) which DPA was opted in this study. The results showed that out of 21 existing monitoring stations, eight and seven stations should be retained on the upstream and downstream of the basins, respectively. Although the area of the downstream basin is larger than the upstream basin, the number of stations which was retained was less than upstream. This may mean that water quality of the downstream is more favorable than the upstream. Meanwhile the technique may be also suitable for optimization of the water quality network.
Fayet-Iliopoulos term and nonlinear self-duality

The N = 1 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action is known to describe the vector Goldstone multiplet for partially broken N = 2 rigid supersymmetry, and this model is believed to be unique. However, it can be deformed by adding the Fayet-Iliopoulos term without losing the second nonlinearly realized supersymmetry. Although the first supersymmetry then becomes spontaneously broken, the deformed action still describes partial N = 2 to N = 1 supersymmetry breaking. The unbroken supercharges in this theory correspond to a different choice of N = 1 subspace in the N = 2 superspace, as compared with the undeformed case. Implications of the Fayet-Iliopoulos term for general models for self-dual nonlinear supersymmetric electrodynamics are discussed. The known ubiquitous appearance of the Volkov-Akulov action in such models is explained. We also present a two-parameter duality-covariant deformation of the N = 1 supersymmetric Born-Infeld action as a model for partial breaking of N = 2 supersymmetry.
PP03 A Big Problem for a Big Country. The Health and Economic Burden of Cardiovascular Diseases in Russia

<h3>Background</h3> Cardiovascular disease (CVD) mortality in Russia is 2-3 times higher than in the rest of the developed world and accounts for 57% of all deaths. It has been observed that in recent years mortality from stroke is declining, whereas that from myocardial infarction is increasing. Modifiable risk factors: excessive alcohol and tobacco consumption, diet and sedentary lifestyles, have a negative effect on life expectancy resulting in high mortality rates. Russia, similar to most developed countries has observed a steady increase in body mass index (BMI) leading to a high burden of coronary heart disease (CHD), stroke and hypertension and associated costs. This paper looks at obesity related CVDs and costs for the Russian healthcare system. <h3>Methods</h3> A Markov-type simulation has been utilised to estimate the future burden of the weight changes and costs up to 2050. Incidence, mortality and healthcare costs were collected for CHD, stroke and hypertension. The results have been simulated for 3 hypothetical scenarios to project a potential impact of policy interventions: a) assuming no reduction in BMI; b) 1% reduction in BMI across the population; c) 5% reduction in BMI across the population. <h3>Results</h3> The disease prevalence rates will triple for diseases by 2050. Prevalence of CHD and stroke is projected to increase from 4,455 in 2010 to 12,723 cases only in 2050 (per 100,000 population). Hypertension prevalence is estimated to increase from 18,833 to 36,438 between 2010 and 2050. For the year 2050 in isolation, it is projected that nearly 280 incidence cases of CHD and stroke and 820 incidence cases of hypertension can be avoided with a 1% decrease in BMI across the population (per 100,000). A 5% reduction in BMI would, for 2050, cause a fall of nearly 7,600 incidence cases of CHD and stroke and 15,250 incidence cases of hypertension (per 100,000). Costs savings are substantial; 3-9 million Euros can be saved each year due to reduction in the BMI by 1% and 5% respectively. <h3>Conclusion</h3> Disease and economic burden attributed to the projected obesity rates are severe and have alarming adverse effects on the Russian healthcare. Despite the recent decreasing trend in rate of stroke, it is projected to increase along with CHD and hypertension due to increased obesity prevalence. The risk factors, however, are modifiable and Russia should act immediately to establish a strong policy to prevent the future increases in rates of morbidity and economic consequences of CVDs.
Deciphering intrarenal communication to unvail mechanisms of chronic kidney diseases

Chronic kidney disease (CKD) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality, affecting over 10 % of the adult population. Regardless of the primary case, the progressed stage is characterized by scarring of all anatomical elements of the kidney - glomeruli, tubulointerstitium, and vasculature, referred to as renal fibrosis. Tubulointerstitial fibrosis has largely been viewed as a consequence of glomerular scarring, reflecting hypoxia downstream from the scarred glomeruli. Novel data suggest that an ongoing communication between the glomerular and tubular compartments (tubuloglomerular feedback) plays an important role in the progression of renal fibrosis. Particularly, injury to the tubular compartments leads to more pronounced glomerular injury in the future. DIE_CKD is designed to uncover the range and mechanisms of tubular injuries involved in the pathogenic tubuloglomerular feedback. To achieve the project objectives, double/quadruple transgenic mice with the possibility of time-dependent, subsequent injury to different compartments of the kidney will be used. This unique approach will enable a direct study of how the injury to tubular compartments predisposes glomeruli to more severe injury. Detailed analysis of the mechanisms behind these effects will be performed. The experimental data will be further confirmed in human renal biopsies of patients with Fabry disease with progressed CKD and renal fibrosis. Comprehensive histopathological assessment of long-term prognosis of sequential biopsies will be performed to analyze the involvement of individual compartments over time.
Distributed acoustic sensing for cable monitoring and surveying for offshore wind farms providing movement, depth, surface disruption and free-span readings

Electricity Distribution Services Ltd (EDS) is a global leader in High Voltage (HV) asset management for offshore wind farms.  In the offshore wind industry, newly commissioned engineering projects often experience failures either in the initial years of operation or at the end of their lifecycle. Subsea cable damage most often arises from: anchor strikes, dragging fishing nets and erosion. Statistics show that a wind farm cable circuit of average length is likely to experience 1-2 faults per 20-year period. Insurance companies increasingly report on HV cable faults being a major issue for financial losses at offshore wind farms. They led to insurance claims totaling more than €60 million in 2015. On average, at least 10 subsea cable failures are declared to insurers each year in the offshore wind sector. The financial severity of these incidents continues to grow – such that they account for 77% of the total global cost of offshore wind farm losses. Our CableSENTRY is an innovative solution based on Digital Acoustic Sensing (DAS) technology that detects subsea cable faults in real time. Acoustic signals from the HV cable create an optical response in a fibre optic line so faults and other events can be located accurately and immediately on a calibrated system. Applied in addition to existing fault location technology, our solution will be able to identify fault locations in land and subsea HV cables and save an average of 4 days’ downtime per fault over current methods
Powerkite - power take-off system for a subsea tidal kite

The PowerKite project will design, build and deploy a power take-off system (PTO) for novel tidal energy collector concept, the Deep Green subsea tidal kite. The overall objective of the PowerKite project is to gather experience in open sea conditions to enhance the structural and power performance of the PTO for a next generation tidal energy converter to ensure high survivability, reliability and performance, low environmental impact and competitive cost of energy in the (future) commercial phases. The core innovation of the project resides in the electro-mechanical design of the PTO, allowing the array to be deployed in sites with low velocity currents. The project will develop full-scale components of the turbine, generator, seabed power electronics, array transformer and subsea export cable. The project will also develop a new material for the mooring system (tether) combining the required buoyancy (to avoid the seafloor and the surface) with the appropriate modulus, strength and fatigue properties (to hold an oscillating load of 200 tons). Open sea trials will play a crucial role in the project as the deployment of the first full scale Deep Green prototype (funded via separate ERDF funding) will enable extensive offshore data collection for the PTO system. The Powerkite project has the potential to double the tidal power market potential, decrease the cost of energy with up to 60% and decrease the weight per installed MW at least 20 times compared to other tidal energy converters. The project has a budget of 5.1M Euros and gathers 9 partners from 3 countries. Over 30 months, the project will progress the state of the art in several fields: PTO modelling, electrical design, mechanical design, data acquisition, analysis and optimisation.
Influence of pesticides and application methods on pest and predatory arthropods associated with cotton

Incidence of sucking pests was studied in a transgenic (Bt) and non-transgenic cotton (non-Bt) agro ecosystem in 2008 and 2009. Simultaneously, the influence of different pesticides applied in two different methods on sucking pests and generalist predators was investigated on transgenic cotton. In stem application, the insecticides solutions prepared were painted directly on the middle portion of the plant stem but in foliar application the recommended dosages of the insecticides were sprayed on the cotton plant. The transgenic and non-transgenic cotton did not differ significantly in the population of sucking pests. The different pesticides when applied by foliar sprays reduced significantly more sucking pests than stem application. Among the different insecticides used, imidacloprid caused the maximum reduction of the leaf hopper population, acetamiprid caused the maximum whitefly reduction, and clothianidin caused the maximum thrips reduction under foliar application. Via stem application, acetamiprid and thiomethoxam were found better in suppression of the sucking pests’ population, but the population of predators was significantly less disrupted by the stem application method. The foliar application was in general more effective; stem application may be more applicable early in the season when its efficacy was higher and when foliar sprays were particularly destructive to beneficial pests. In foliar application, all the systemic neonicotinoids like imidacloprid, clothianidin, admire, thiamethoxam and acetamiprid were found highly toxic to natural enemies in comparison with spirotetramat, buprofezin and fipronil.
Mediterranean University as Catalyst for Eco-Sustainable Renovation

Low energy educational buildings are becoming the standard for new buildings in European and Mediterranean countries. Technical solutions are continuously developed by universities for eco-sustainable building renovation, but there is still a gap between designed models and their actual application. This is due to several barriers, such as the insufficient collaboration between key actors and the lack of efficient suitable tools from the public sector to develop solutions. The Med-EcoSuRe project offers an innovative approach to the definition and diffusion of cost-effective energy renovation within university buildings, with the perspective of extending results to the whole public buildings sector in the long term. A Mediterranean cross-border living lab - bringing together researchers, building managers, companies, public organisations and students - will be established to develop energy efficiency and renewable energy solutions as well as retrofitting schemes to be implemented in 9 university buildings. The final aim behind the project is to turn university managers into active players contributing to the co-creation and experimentation of emerging ideas, breakthrough scenarios and innovative concepts.
Knowledge on ethical and legal issues related to assisted reproductive technologies (ART) among infertile couple

Infertility issues affect both men and women. The couples become desperate and seek help to achieve their next goal of pregnancy and a child. Worldwide more than 70 million couples suffer from infertility. Assisted Reproductive technology (ART) is much helpful for the couples to achieve pregnancy. But it is mandatory for the couples to understand the legal and ethical issues related to the ART. A non-experimental research design was used to find out the level of knowledge on legal and ethical issues related to ART. 30 infertile couples were selected by non-probability convenience sampling technique. The tools used were (a) demographic variables (b) 20 number of knowledge assessment questionnaire related to legal and ethical issues of ART methods. Results reveal that most of the couples need knowledge on legal and ethical issues. Based on the results, it is recommended that couples who are undergoing treatment process need more information on legal and ethical issues related to ART.
Mining Top-K Patterns from Binary Datasets in presence of Noise

The discovery of patterns in binary dataset has many applications, e.g. in electronic commerce, TCP/IP networking, Web usage logging, etc. Still, this is a very challenging task in many respects: overlapping vs. non overlapping patterns, presence of noise, extraction of the most important patterns only. In this paper we formalize the problem of discovering the Top-K patterns from binary datasets in presence of noise, as the minimization of a novel cost function. According to the Minimum Description Length principle, the proposed cost function favors succinct pattern sets that may approximately describe the input data. We propose a greedy algorithm for the discovery of Patterns in Noisy Datasets, named PaNDa, and show that it outperforms related techniques on both synthetic and realworld data.
Hydraulics modelling for drilling automation

Societal uses for the drilling of deep wells are abundant and have enormous impact on global economies; examples include the exploration of minerals, geothermal energy, oil and gas. The future sustainable harvesting of these resources requires the exploitation of difficult-to-access, unconventional reserves and is threatened by concerns on the environmental safety and high cost of drilling operations. To overcome these threats, there are strong needs for advanced tools for virtual drilling scenario testing and drilling automation and for multidisciplinary employees with adequate technical and transferable skills.

The HYDRA EID research and training program addresses both needs by founding an intersectoral doctoral school. The consortium represents top-level expertise in all scientific and engineering disciplines needed to take on the main challenges of HYDRA: multiphase flow dynamics, model reduction, control and mathematics. Moreover, the consortium houses expertise ranging from academic research & training (TU/e, MINES) and industrial R&D (Kelda) to industrial practice and training (MH Wirth, Well Academy), therewith offering a broad spectrum of training.

The scientific objective of HYDRA is to develop a framework for multi-phase hydraulic modeling and model complexity reduction for drilling operations, delivered in software directly usable in industry. The resulting models uniquely combine high predictive capacity and low complexity enabling their usage in both virtual drilling scenario testing and drilling automation. The main training objective is to launch 3 doctoral students into future leading scientific positions with an intersectoral network to support them throughout their careers.

The envisioned results form the necessary basis for revolutionary advances in the (environmental) safety and cost-effectiveness of resource exploration in Europe and beyond and will provide the human capital base for sustaining such efforts beyond this program’s lifetime.
Genetics of alternative transcript abundance upon immune cellular activation

The human body is constantly exposed to infectious agents. Efficient immune response is therefore fundamental to protect the cells from infection and keep individuals healthy. Still, extreme variations are observed in the efficiency of immune response among individuals and populations. Recently, the dissection of the genetic bases of the host immune response to infection has fostered a large interest in the scientific community. As a result, there is now a growing understanding of the influence of genetic variation on the transcriptional reprogramming of immune cells during infection. However, it is now widely accepted that the underlying ‘one gene–one protein’ paradigm is overly simplistic and cannot account for the full complexity of the transcriptome. Here, we propose to study how genetic variants affect transcript diversity to modulate the response to pathogens at the individual and population levels. To do so, we will seek to identify genetic variants that have conferred a selective advantage to human populations through modulation of isoforms usage in response to infection. This work will rely on an innovative strategy that combines coexpression-based studies of the isoform regulatory networks with analysis of the genetic determinants of splicing in response to infection. In doing so, this study should improve our understanding of isoform regulation and identify novel regulatory elements and splicing factor-target relationships in the specific context of infection.
MECHANICAL COMPONENT WITH FLEXIBLE GUIDANCE, PARTICULARLY FOR A TIME-KEEPING MOVEMENT

The invention relates to a mechanical component with flexible guidance, comprising a first part (2; 22), a second part (1; 21) at least partially surrounding the first part (2; 22), and elastic guiding parts (3) connecting the first and second parts (2, 1; 22, 21) and arranged so as to guide a relative movement of the first and second parts in a determined plane (P). The first part (2; 22) is secured to at least one flange (7, 8) at least partially covering the second part (1; 21) in order to block relative movements of the first and second parts (2, 1; 22, 21) outside the determined plane (P).
Moral & intellectual qualities of the political man in the translations of gracián's work (xvii-xxi cent.)

VIR MAXIMUS is an innovative tool that helps trace the history of the ‘soft’ policy transfer in and outside Europe since 17th to the 21st centuries. It is based on the suggestion that the flow of ideas across borders and in time can be unveiled with the help of the sufficiently vast collections of translations of the same text. Such corpora will allow to intercept not only the transmission, adaptation and transformation of moral-political concepts in different countries, but also their evolution over time within a single culture (in cases when multiple translations of a text to the same language carried out in different epochs are available). More than 150 translations of Baltasar Gracián’s writings to more than 30 languages, sometimes by eminent personalities such as A. Schopenhauer, offer an extraordinary example of such a collection, but its potential is still underestimated: in fact, the complete list of these texts is still lacking. VIR MAXIMUS will provide a complete annotated catalogue of translations of Gracián’s work and a concrete example of the use of these texts: the database of the moral-political lexicon in about 50 different translations (the main European languages are considered) that will help to detect the dynamics of the local reception of Gracián’s thought and the shifts in the history of moral-political concepts.
The MSCA Fellowship will bring Riva Evstifeeva, Russian language professor in Italy who holds a MA in Medieval European History and a PhD in Comparative studies, to Sorbonne Université where she will work in the research team headed by Mercedes Blanco, the top-rank scholar in Spanish studies and the leading expert in Gracián’s work.
