Mobility Management oVer Europe: Changing Mobility Patterns

MMOVE supports interregional exchange on sustainable mobility policies for medium sized European cities (populations 50-250,000). Through networking, analysis of best practice and a series of Study Visits MMOVE will raise the level of knowledge and awareness of mobility management innovations. These focus on transport demand and low cost interventions to change public perceptions and behaviour in the way citizens move about our cities. In the final phase of the project partners will work in parallel on feasibility studies to prepare implementation of one good practice locally, and present results and recommendations to regional policy makers.
The MMOVE partnership incorporates 9 local authorities from medium sized cities, 1 region and 1 Municipal Agency. 8 EU states, including 2 new member states are represented, with a broad geographical and cultural diversity. Several of the Northern European partners bring best practice and expertise in mobility management and methodologies.

Ultimately MMOVE aims to influence regional authority policy-making by providing mobility management solutions which will help small and medium sized cities make best use of their mobility infrastructure and services.  Good practice and findings will be collated and classified in a coherent way in the form of a permanent online toolbox for municipalities and transport planners across Europe. Results will also include presentation of critical success factors in transferring mobility interventions across EU regions, to help similar cities to share in the learning.
MMOVE findings, results and recommendations will be disseminated widely through the Eurotowns network of medium sized cities, and through professional forums of mobility planners, city networks and local stakeholders.

MMOVE will make a contribution to European Transport policy (currently under development) and targets by helping medium sized cities to improve road safety, to reduce congestion, to improve air quality and increase take up of sustainable transport forms.
Promoting mental wellbeing in the ageing urban population: determinants, policies and interventions in european cities

Major depressive disorder, dementia, anxiety disorders, and substance abuse affect a substantial part of the European older population. Over 70% of Europeans reside in cities, and this percentage will increase in the next decades. Urbanization and ageing have enormous implications for public mental health. Cities pose major challenges for older citizens, but also offer opportunities for the design of policies, clinical and public health interventions that promote mental health. The overall aim of the MINDMAP project is to identify the opportunities offered by the urban environment for the promotion of mental wellbeing and cognitive function of older individuals in Europe. The project will advance understanding by bringing together longitudinal studies across cities in Europe, the US and Canada to unravel the causal pathways and multi-level interactions between the urban environment and the social, behavioural, psychosocial and biological determinants of mental health and cognitive function in older adults. Specifically, the project will (a) assess the impact of the urban environment on the mental wellbeing and disorders associated with ageing, and estimate the extent to which exposure to specific urban environmental factors and policies explain differences in ageing-related mental and cognitive disorders both within as well as between European cities, (b) assess the causal pathways and interactions between the urban environment and the individual determinants of mental health and cognitive ageing in older adults, (c) use agent-based modelling to simulate the effect of urban environmental, prevention and care policies on the trajectories of mental health and cognitive ageing across cities in Europe. Knowledge will significantly contribute to future-proof preventive strategies in urban settings favouring the mental dimension of healthy ageing, the reduction of the negative impact of mental disorders on co-morbidities, and maintaining cognitive ability in old age.
Transnational cooperation and partnership for better public transport in peripheral and cross-border regions

Peripheral Access (PA) improves mobility in specifically peripheral areas such as rural, remotely located or border regions as well as in the hinterland of urban areas. This is crucial as 93% of the EU territories are peripheral areas (< 150 persons/km²); all facing similar but particular challenges:
- the basic service level of PT is often poor,
- the public budgets are tight,
- demographic change (fewer and older people) has negative impacts,
- high level of unsustainable, exclusive and costly private car use.
The WP involves all partners & will analyse this situation in detail at EU and partner level, derive concrete action plans and implement innovative pilot actions in 3 fields of action representing the key success factor for sustainable mobility:


1. Multimodality & integrated transport


2. Enhanced use of Intelligent Communication Technology (ICT) &Intelligent Technology System (ITS)


3. Better cooperation through transport associations and cross-border marketing.
Concrete results such as 10 strategies/action plans (thereof 7 regional, transnational), 3 tools, 5 pilot actions & 6 trainings will benefit public transport users, planners & decision makers & will stimulate current non-users to rethink their mobility behaviour.  The built-in evaluation cycle will lead to reliable outputs, making project outputs to become model solution for all peripheral areas across CE.
PA will rely on the knowledge and the professional capacity of its partners comprising public transport operators, local, regional and national institutions, as well as leading nation. transport research organisations and thereby guarantee the highest possible level of implementation and result orientation. Handpicked Associated Partners such as the Association of European border regions provide target expertise which will reduce the involvement of costly external experts to a minimum.
Thermal deformation of aluminum alloy casting materials for tire mold by numerical analysis

Thermal deformation of aluminum alloy casting materials for manufacturing the tire mold was numerically investigated. The AC7A and AC4C casting material was selected as casting material and the metal casting device was used in order to manufacture the mold product of automobile tire in the actual industrial field. The temperature distribution and the cooling time of casting materials were numerically calculated by finite element analysis (FEA). Also, the thermal deformation such as displacement and stress distribution was calculated from the temperature results. The thermal deformation was closely related to the temperature difference between the surface and inside of the casting. The numerical analysis results reveal that the thermal deformation of AC7A casting material is higher than that of AC4C casting material. Also, the thermal deformation results at the central part are larger than that on the side of casting because of the shrinkage caused by the cooling speed difference.
Low-temperature sintering, structure transition and dielectrical properties of Ba0.85Ca0.15Ti0.9Zr0.1O3 with Na0.5Bi0.5TiO3 addition

Abstract Na 0.5 Bi 0.5 TiO 3 -modified Ba 0.85 Ca 0.15 Ti 0.9 Zr 0.1 O 3 ceramics were prepared by solid state route and their structural and dielectric properties were investigated. The sintering temperature of BCTZ ceramics has been significantly decreased from 1460 °C to 1280 °C with NBT addition. All samples showed a pure perovskite structure and a stable solid solution has been formed between BCTZ and NBT. Some tetragonal phase gradually transformed to rhombohedral or cubic phase with the addition of NBT. Dielectric peak gradually becomes broader, revealing that the diffuser behavior was enhanced. The prominent superimposed loss peaks related to thermally activated relaxation process. The values of activation energy of the relaxation process are 1.034, 1.285, 1.308 and 1.353 eV, which could be associated with the migration of oxygen vacancies.
High frequency divider state correction circuit

The present invention provides for state correction. A first value in a state circuit is received from a flip flop. The received value is transmitted to a second flip flop. The received value within the second flip flop is altered if an error condition arises. The received value is transmitted to a third flip flop. In one aspect, the received value transmitted to the third flip flop comprises an unaltered received value. In another aspect, the received value transmitted to the third flip flop comprises transmitting an altered received value. This allows for an incorrect state within the state machine to change to a correct state after a few clock pulses.
Improving Hardware Reuse through XML-based Interface Encapsulation

This work proposes an encapsulation scheme aimed at simplifying the reuse process of hardware cores. This hardware encapsulation approach has been conceived with a twofold objective. First, we look for the improvement of the reuse interface associated with the hardware core description. This is carried out in a first encapsulation level by improving the limited types and configuration options available in the conventional HDLs interface, and also providing information related to the implementation itself. Second, we have devised a more generic interface focused on describing the function avoiding details from a particular implementation, what corresponds to a second encapsulation level. This encapsulation allows the designer to define how to configure and use the design to implement a given functionality. The proposed encapsulation schemes help improving the amount of information that can be supplied with the design, and also allow to automate the process of searching, configuring and implementing diverse alternatives.
Disentangling the stringent response to engineer novel anti-persister drugs

Bacterial “superbugs”, refringent to antibiotic treatments, have rapidly increased with the turn of the century. Slow growing, dormant cells (known as persisters) are subpopulations of bacteria that tolerate antibiotics and are considered a primary source of infections for antibiotic-resistant pathogens since they are difficult to eradicate in conventional ways. Mutations in RelA/SpoT (RSH), the effectors of the stringent response, promote antibiotic tolerance and persistent infections and are commonly selected in clinical settings of a variety of pathogens. However, despite the importance of the RSH-mediated stringent response, there is no comprehensive knowledge on the inner workings of the enzymes, or drugs that modulate the bacterial response to stress. Modern structurally biology is currently in the midst of a revolution comparable to that of the Genomic breakthrough of the end last century. This has facilitated access to structural information and increased the accuracy of the modeling and design of de novo structures of proteins and small molecules. Thus my overarching goal is to target key steps in the molecular mechanisms of ppGpp synthesis and hydrolysis catalysed by RSH enzymes, to discover active compounds against persisters. The highlight of this proposal is a new system biology approach that combines cellular microbiology (at a single cell resolution) with structural engineering, biophysical, biochemical and chemical-biology methods to design, screen and validate novel small molecule drug candidates targeting the stringent response. Based on preliminary keystone results from my group, we devised a proof of concept experiment for which we designed a catalogue of novel modulators of the stringent response customized to target bacteria in a specific or broad spectrum way. The success of this exercise guarantees this strategy will not only deliver new antipersister compounds and biotech tools, but will also impinge fundamental research in microbiology.
Innovative Sustainable Agriculture in Mediterranea

Agricultural productions are subject to stiff quality requirements by markets and consumers (LMR - GlobalGAP). Furthermore, the conspicuous use of chemical pesticides clashes with the EU’s guidelines on sustainable development and the obligation to promote green growth an integrated crop protection (Directive 2009/128/EC, Ecophyto Plan II National Action Plan).  Therefore, cross-border agriculture faces crucial challenges, with particularly high risks coming from parasites due to warmer weather conditions and very intense trade in whole plants. SMEs must face at least a new phytosanitary emergency every year that affects the notable productions of the area: ornamental, agricultural and olive growing.  On the socio-economic level, the application of alternative strategies to the use of chemical pesticides requires a radical change of production methods with optimal management of natural auxiliaries. SMEs will not be able to use these new integrated protection strategies if they do not have dedicated means to manage biologically rich and complex agrosystems. The IS@M project aims to develop, validate and optimise a collaborative platform that will bring together new innovative tools for the daily support of SMEs in making the best eco-responsible decisions. Through a concept of participatory collaboration (research institutes, experimental stations, consultants and companies), IS@M proposes to assess the health status and epidemiological risks of plots, in real-time, in the field, on a tablet or smartphone. It also offers a complete, reliable and traceable assistance service readily usable by every SME, and promotes a Mediterranean network of farms exchanging knowledge, experiences and epidemiological alerts through a forum.
Breakdown of coral colonial form under reduced pH conditions is initiated in polyps and mediated through apoptosis

Certain stony corals can alternate between a calcifying colonial form and noncalcifying solitary polyps, supporting the hypothesis that corals have survived through geologic timescale periods of unfavorable calcification conditions. However, the mechanisms enabling this biological plasticity are yet to be identified. Here we show that incubation of two coral species ( Pocillopora damicornis and Oculina patagonica ) under reduced pH conditions (pH 7.2) simulating past ocean acidification induce tissue-specific apoptosis that leads to the dissociation of polyps from coenosarcs. This in turn leads to the breakdown of the coenosarc and, as a consequence, to loss of coloniality. Our data show that apoptosis is initiated in the polyps and that once dissociation between polyp and coenosarc terminates, apoptosis subsides. After reexposure of the resulting solitary polyps to normal pH (pH 8.2), both coral species regenerated coenosarc tissues and resumed calcification. These results indicate that regulation of coloniality is under the control of the polyp, the basic modular unit of the colony. A mechanistic explanation for several key evolutionarily important phenomena that occurred throughout coral evolution is proposed, including mechanisms that permitted species to survive the third tier of mass extinctions.
Multi-Dimensional intervention support architecture for gamified ehealth and mhealth products

This project investigates evidence based gamification techniques for eHealth and mHealth and develops a multi-dimensional intervention support architecture/platform in order to improve the efficacy of gamified eHealth products (web-based health tools and health apps). The project will develop advanced game production techniques with ready-to-use toolkits to accelerate the innovation process for eHealth and mHealth products. This will help digital industry (games, IoT and ICT) to innovate new products and services with science and technology underpinnings.
It addresses fundamental issues of gamification for eHealth interventions including its development process and evaluation methods for measuring its efficacy. The outcomes of the project, manifested as gamification Toolkits, an integrated ICT Platform, and clinical assessment Methodologies as whole as a framework, will greatly accelerate the pace and scale of eHealth innovation by transforming and increasing its quality and efficiency through advanced technology tools, frameworks and methodologies. By using gamified physical activity engagement as a clinical intervention case study, the proposed framework will be evaluated and tested within patients in primary care settings, who are identified as physical inactive and at risk for their conditions due to sedentary behaviours. However, the gamification framework remains flexible and portable to other contexts of digital health interventions.

The project presents two key innovation components:
•	An innovative collaborative R&D programme in collaboration with industry, focus on delivering solutions to address challenges in the development process of gamified eHealth products i.e. productivity and efficacy.
•	A strong and sustainable model of collaboration with digital industry and other relevant stakeholders fully integrated to develop the innovation capacity in SMEs in eHealth products, specifically gamified eHealth products and services.
ANTI-GAS-LOCK CHECK VALVE

The invention relates to an anti-gas-lock check valve for subsurface pumps in mechanical pumping technologies (formed by a surface unit, a rod string, and a subsurface pump), which eliminates gas lock, reduces fluid pound and prevents sticking due to solids in the subsurface pumps. The anti-gas-lock check valve is formed by four main parts: a nut; a spring; a bell; and a body with production holes. During the downward movement of the travelling valve or in the event of the system stopping, the spring which is supported on the nut constantly exerts a downward force on the bell, forcing the bell to sit on the body, thereby closing the production holes. Consequently, the anti-gas-lock check valve prevents the pressure of the hydrostatic column inside a well from being exerted on the travelling valve of the subsurface pump during the downward movement of the system or in the event of the system stopping.
Kidssurgicalplan: an internet enterprise for sketch-based cardiovascular pre-surgical planning

Approximately 1 in 100 children are born with a clinically significant congenital heart defect representing 47,000 children each year in the EU. Survival of the newborn requires series of complex open-heart surgeries where optimal hemodynamic performance is essential for improved post-operative quality of life. This work proposes a new computationally-enhanced interactive system for patient-specific pre-surgical design and optimization of pediatric cardiovascular surgeries. With the proposed system, clinicians will be able to rapidly implement a contemplated intervention on a patient-specific 3D computer model without execution. A novel interface will allow clinicians to communicate their surgical intentions directly on the computer model analogous to the way they would communicate their intentions to other clinicians or bioengineers. Basic cardiovascular research on embryonic biomechanics that is being investigated in the parent ERC project will provide the essential foundation of the proposed predictive capability. This interactive framework will be deployed to the web for worldwide impact.  Based on market analysis our proposed business model becomes profitable in a short time. PoC project will provide necessary resources for developing the prototype patient-specific surgical-planning framework, clarification of regulatory pathways and follow-up pre-clinical research design.
GLYCOPEPTIDE ANTIBIOTICS

The invention provides compounds of formula (I), wherein R<1>, R<2>, R<3>, R<4>, R<5>, R<6a>, R<6b>, R<6c>, R<6d>, R<6e> and R<7> are defined in the specification. These compounds are useful as antibiotic agents.
Atomistic to molecular to bulk turbulence

ATM2BT will combine pioneering methods to investigate the invariable different stages and bifurcating sequences of the onset of turbulent hydrodynamics at scales just above the Kolmogorov scale, applied to a variety of geometric configurations for a three-front approach in simulating, probing and understanding the structure of turbulence: turbulence, with its effects in our daily lives at the macro-cosmos captured from its fingerprints at the nano-scale. By bringing together the atomistic fluid and plastic flow at nano/micro-scale and their instabilities we will extend acquired knowledge through new innovative technologies to bulk fluid dynamics at the macro scale, in order to better understand fundamental aspects of turbulent flow and, through its plastics pathway, apply it to better engineering solutions. We are bringing together a diverse world leading multidisciplinary team comprising of Japanese, USA and EU (AST, Queen Mary College, Aristotelio) Institutions in order to create a comprehensive, accurate and reliable predictive modelling framework to probe the inner secrets of turbulence.  The different and diverse expertise available will not just enable, but actively encourage interaction and knowledge sharing to improve current understanding and enable new technology creation. 
The teams will address the challenges associated with the effect of the dominant nano/microstructure and its role in upscaling stochasticity to the macro scale, in order to create a fully deterministic, holistic, innovative multiscale framework, which will be tested and validated at a range of scales as part of the project delivery.  Our final goal will be to bring this framework of theoretical discoveries, represented in the form of a Unified nano-macro fluid flow accumulating state-of-the-art software, a Universal Modelling Software Tool (UMST), describing the genesis and evolution of turbulence from fundamental to scales, encountered in our everyday lives.
Microbial electrohydrogenesis linked to dark fermentation as integrated application for enhanced biohydrogen production: A review on process characteristics, experiences and lessons

Microbial electrohydrogenesis cells (MECs) are devices that have attracted significant attention from the scientific community to generate hydrogen gas electrochemically with the aid of exoelectrogen microorganisms. It has been demonstrated that MECs are capable to deal with the residual organic materials present in effluents generated along with dark fermentative hydrogen bioproduction (DF). Consequently, MECs stand as attractive post-treatment units to enhance the global H2 yield as a part of a two-stage, integrated application (DF-MEC). In this review article, it is aimed (i) to assess results communicated in the relevant literature on cascade DF-MEC systems, (ii) describe the characteristics of each steps involved and (iii) discuss the experiences as well as the lessons in order to facilitate knowledge transfer and help the interested readers with the construction of more efficient coupled set-ups, leading eventually to the improvement of overall biohydrogen evolution performances.
