A unit for compacting a bundle of textile fibres drawn in a spinning machine

A fixed tube (11) of circular cross-section, which is common to several spinning stations disposed side by side, is connected to a suction source and has, in each station, a suction slot (15) arranged on the path of a bundle of fibres (1) to be compacted and along its direction of advance. A cylindrical sleeve (16) is freely rotatable on the tube (11) and has a perforated portion (17) which extends around a corresponding slot (15). The sleeve (16) is rotated about the fixed tube (11) by a pressure roller (18) which presses the bundle of fibres (1) against the perforated portion (17) of the sleeve. The sleeve cooperates with an axially stationary retaining element (9a; 25, 26, 28a) which is separate from the tube (11) and is arranged to limit the axial movements of the sleeve along the tube. <IMAGE>
A High-conversion Gain, Low-power Mixer Adapting Current Reuse Technique for ZigBee Application

AbstractThis paper presents a high-conversion gain, low-power, folded CMOS mixer for ZigBee application in 2.4 GHz of user bandwidth. The proposed mixer adapts current reuse technique to increase the conversion gain while substantially reducing the DC power dissipation. The current from LO stage is reused at the transconductance stage to reduce the power consumption. This mixer is verified in 0.13 μm standard CMOS technology. The simulation result exhibits a high-conversion gain performance (CG) of 10 dB, 1 dB compression point (P1 dB) of -13.43 dBm, third-order intercept point (IIP3) of -4.3 dBm, and a noise figure of 16.67 dB. The circuit draws 675 μA current from the 1.2 V of supply voltage headroom.
Jazz Endings, Aesthetic Discourse, and Musical Publics

The title above contains a melodic fragment from the closing bars of Billy Strayhorn's Take the A Train. It is often called the ending after the composer and musician for whom the piece became a signature tune. Despite its close motivic relationship to the rest of the piece, it long ago began circulating on its own as a musical tag, and musicians still employ it in a range of contexts to signal musical closure. There are many such concluding patterns, and in the account that follows I will examine how one group of young instrumentalists mobilizes some of them (including the Ellington ending) while collectively arranging a tune. In part, then, this article explores an instance of musical bricolage, as musicians experiment with an array of formulas and come to an agreement regarding how they will establish musical closure with them.
Modeling and energetic-exergetic evaluation of a novel screw expander-based direct steam generation solar system

Abstract This paper proposes an innovative solar electricity generation system based on the steam Rankine cycle, which employs screw expanders and parabolic trough collectors, with water as heat transfer and working fluid. Owing to its good efficiency at low-medium heat source temperatures, the solar generation system can meet the need to design renewable energy power plant with simple technical requirements in heat storage and collection. Screw expander-based solar thermal electricity systems have further advantages: avoidance of overheating, satisfactory applicability in energy conversion with liquid-steam mixtures, low operating pressure and good applicability for distributed power generation. In this paper a thermodynamic mathematical model on the polytropic expansion process is first investigated, revealing variation of isentropic efficiency with the operating pressure ratio and built-in volume ratio of the screw expander. Basic criteria are then provided to evaluate the energetic and exergetic benefits of such a power plant, developing a macro balance to define optimum operating conditions. Water evaporation temperature and condensation pressure were thus optimized with respect to heat-to-power conversion efficiency, solar thermal power generation efficiency and exergetic efficiency. Our results indicate that the optimum evaporation temperature ranges from about 204 °C to 276 °C with increasing solar radiation, whereas the corresponding maximum solar thermal power efficiency and exergetic efficiency are around 12.6% and 17.8%, respectively.
Interactive hybrid evolutionary computation for MEMS design synthesis

Abstract: An interactive hybrid evolutionary computation (IHC) process for MEMS design synthesis is described, which uses both human expertise and local performance improvement to augment the performance of an evolutionary process. The human expertise identifies good design patterns, and local optimization fine-tunes these designs so that they reach their potential at early stages of the evolutionary process. At the same time, the feedback on local optimal designs confirms and refines the human assessment. The advantages of the IHC process are demonstrated with micromachined resonator test cases. Guidelines on how to set parameters for the IHC algorithm are also made based on experimental observations and results.
Optimal contracts for renewable electricity

Companies are increasingly choosing to procure their power from renewable energy sources, with their own set of potential challenges. This paper characterizes the contracts that minimize the cost of procuring a given amount of renewable energy from two risk averse, energy generators who are inherently unreliable (such as wind and solar). We contrast outcomes arising when investments are set in centralized and decentralized settings, with the absence of reliability addressed by either issuing orders in excess of what is needed or by investing in improved reliability. Our results suggest that future contracts may be geared towards a greater reliance on order inflation and lower investments in reliability as the cost of renewable energy keeps falling. The implications of these results for grid congestion and electricity spot market prices should be of interest to regulators and transmission system operators. • Renewable power procurement with bilateral contracts is growing but under-studied • We analyse optimal contracts with electricity generators from variable renewable energy sources • We compare results for centralized and decentralized power generation • Depending on the setting, bilateral contracts for both centralized and decentralized power generation may induce order inflation rather than investment in reliability • For decentralized power generation, we find that increasing order sizes trigger countervailing incentives to invest in reliability
Indian Mythic Vision in W.B. Yeats and T.S. Eliot

This article is a critical study on the oriental sources which two major poets–W.B. Yeats and T.S. Eliot–exploited for the exploration of a new centre of life and a new basis of values. They felt irresistibly drawn to the glorious myths of ancient India and attempted to interweave them with those of the West through their immortal works of art. They were influenced by eastern thought, but more as borrowers than as disciples, because the temper of their own thinking was not eastern. What they learned from India was worked over and reshaped by a sense of values that they believed had come down to them through scholars–Indian and English. This sense of values could transform their gleanings is theosophy, magic, Buddhism and spiritualism from a hotchpotch to a harmony. India and her literature of wisdom–perennial sources of inspiration to the world at large–have carved out an abiding place in the hearts of many Western poets, particularly Yeats and Eliot: There is some reason to suppose that Yeats’s affinity with Indian thought and Indian outlook on life has somehow been closer than that of any other comparable Western poet who came under that spell some time or other. In poets like Emerson and Whitman, Indian thought has undoubtedly been an important influence, but strongly as it coloured their reflection, it remained one of the elements of the Philosophical synthesis which they built. (Kantak 1965: 80) Yeats, perhaps more than T.S. Eliot, shares Indian mythic vision. His response to mythical India can be traced to the identity between ancient India and Ireland. Yeats believes that primitive India and Ireland are complementary to each other. Primitive Ireland like India was athrob with tales of wonder and mystery. Naturally, he felt an inner compulsion to explore the meaning and essence of life in Indian myths. Indian attitude towards rebirth caught the poetic fancy of W.B. Yeats. His vision of all the elements of the temporal world of sense and passion equally as parts of a whole is essentially the primitive vision of India. He finds nothing sinful or hateful. Even when he desires
Collider bounds on Lee-Wick Higgs bosons

We study the constraints on the Lee-Wick Higgs sector arising from direct collider searches. We work in an effective-field theory framework, where all of the Lee-Wick partners are integrated out, with the sole exception of the Lee-Wick Higgs bosons. The resulting theory is a two-Higgs doublet model where the second doublet has wrong-sign kinetic and mass terms. We include the bounds coming from direct Higgs searches at both LEP and Tevatron using the code HiggsBounds, and show the currently excluded parameter space. We also analyze the prospects of LHC Run-I, finding that with a total integrated luminosity of 5 fb $^{-1}$ and a center-of-mass energy of 7 TeV, most of the parameter space for the SM-like CP-even Higgs will be probed.
Evaluation of agriculture and industry effect on economic health by ANFIS approach

Abstract Economic development could be influenced due to many factors. For example agriculture and industry sectors could have significant impact on the economic growth and health. Gross domestic product (GDP) is used as an indicator of the economic health. Since the economic health and growth analyzing is very challenging task with commonly redundant data, in this investigation the economic growth was analyzed by ANFIS (adaptive neuro fuzzy inference system) methodology based on the agriculture and industry added value in GDP. The main goal was to analyze the influence of the industry and agriculture on the GDP, industry or agriculture. Results shown that the agriculture sector has higher influence than industry sector on the GDP health and growth.
Preparedness of countries to face COVID-19 pandemic crisis: Strategic positioning and factors supporting effective strategies of prevention of pandemic threats

The Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) continues to generate a constant pandemic threat with new mutations of the viral agent (SARS-CoV-2) that create socioeconomic issues. One of the fundamental problems is the evaluation of the preparedness of countries to cope with COVID-19 pandemic crisis to detect and support factors associated with the reduction of mortality and the growth of vaccinations in society. The study here confronts this problem by developing two basic indexes, which measure the performance of countries to face pandemic threats. In particular, the Index r (as resilience) detects the countries having the best performance in the reduction of the negative impact of mortality related to COVID-19 pandemic and the Index p (as preparedness and prevention) assesses best-performer countries to support COVID-19 vaccinations in order to constrain future pandemic threats and support the recovery of socioeconomic systems. Index of resilience is a composite measure based on three indicators associated with COVID-19, given by average mortality, hospital occupancy and Intensive Care Units occupancy per 100 000 people, producing an overall score; Index of preparedness/prevention is a composite measure of two indicators related to COVID-19 vaccinations (i.e., doses of vaccines administered and total vaccinates per 100 000 people), producing also an overall score of performance. The application of these indexes on a case study of European countries, having a homogenous socioeconomic area, shows the strategic positioning of countries to cope with a major pandemic threat. Findings reveal that all countries have some weaknesses and no country has a high preparedness to cope with a major epidemic or pandemic. Moreover, results suggest that best-performer countries to cope with COVID-19 pandemic crisis have a smaller size of population and/or better public governance, associated with high expenditures in health system. These indexes can help policymakers for designing effective strategies to improve preparedness and prevention of countries to face future pandemic threats.

Optimization for prescription of Baoxieling Hydrogel Patch using Box-Behnken test design and research on its transdermal permeability in vitro

Objective To optimize the prescription of Baoxieling Hydrogel Patch(BHP) using Box-Behnken test design and to investigate its transdermal absorption properties in vitro. Methods Taking the comprehensive scores of the early adhesion, uniformity, ductility, consistence, skin adhesive ability, repeated exposing paste, and residue as response values, Box-Behnken test design was used to optimize the amounts of sodium polyacrylate NP 800, aluminum glycinate, and fillers, and to validate the optimal formulation. The percutaneous permeation of cinnamaldehyde, eugenol, evodiamine, and rutaecarpine in the optimal formulation was studied by in vitro transdermal delivery experiment with Franz diffusion cells and their contents were determined by HPLC. Results The optimal ratio of the prescription was as follows: sodium polyacrylate NP 800-aluminum glycinate-fillers(0.82∶0.02∶1.56). The foremost factors were fillers and aluminum glycinate. Its transdermal absorption met zero order dynamic process. Conclusion The optimal prescription has uniform paste, suitable consistence, easy ductility, moderate adhesion, and perfect transdermal effect. It could provide the foundation for the development of new prescription of Baoxieling.
Statistical institutes and economic prosperity

The quality of economic institutions can impact economic growth and it can mediate the relation between economic growth and its drivers. We examine the relevance of one such institution, which is the establishment of a national statistical institute for, amongst others, national accounts. We collect data for 106 countries, and we estimate that there are four separate clusters of countries with similar establishment dates. For these clusters we fit regression models to explain economic growth, and we obtain significant differences across these clusters with respect to relevant explanatory variables and effect sizes, suggesting that a national statistics institute indeed is an important institution for the macro-economy.
Comprehensive model of waste heat utilization in CE regions

CE-HEAT project is addressing the challenge on how to improve the governance of energy efficiency by focusing on the field of waste heat utilization. This field was identified as one of most pressing issues at the regional and local level (little success was achieved in the past) and at the same time was recognised as important in new energy efficiency directive (European Directive on energy efficiency (2012/27/UE)).   
To improve governance in waste heat utilization, better and comprehensive planning and monitoring tools are needed. CE-HEAT partnership designed a solution through three specific objectives:
-to provide excellent analytical and monitoring platform through establishment of GIS based regional waste heat cadastres with waste heat sources classification and a monitoring tool
-to provide comprehensive solution for managing waste heat utilization projects and strategies through the development of a waste heat utilization toolbox (leading stakeholders participation process, establishing feasibility etc)
-to incorporate new approach into local, regional and national strategies by integration of new cadastre and toolbox into existing spatial planning and energy management systems and spread it throughout CE area and beyond.
The first level of target groups of CE-HEAT project are regional/local energy policy makers and spatial planners, so regional steering groups will be established to achieve good level of integration and compatibility. Second level is represented by waste heat producers, potential investors and local stakeholders.
Transnational approach will enable partners to use different experiences, knowledge and competences to find solution to a common problem in common legal environment. It will also bring added value because solutions (cadastre and toolbox) will be tested through pilot projects in very different scenario. Solutions developed will consequently have much higher quality and bigger transfer potential.

Smart theranostic agents for the tumour microenvironment

FLUORODRUGS is a highly interdisciplinary project encompassing the design, synthesis and biological validation of novel smart chemical agents for highly sensitive diagnosis and specific treatment of cancer. I will prepare novel drug-fluorophores conjugates by combining macrophage-specific fluorophores with cytotoxic drugs using smart cleavable linkers. The activation of these smart agents in the tumour microenvironment will allow to not only to visualise in real-time but also to selectively ablate tumour-associated macrophages, which are essential for cancer progression. Further derivatization of the agents with specific ligands (i.e. chemokine CCL2) will yield probes for specific subpopulations of macrophages (i.e. CCR2+ macrophages) that are critical in tumour metastasis. This strategy will minimise two of the major limitations of conventional cancer therapies: 1) drug resistance from cancer cells, and 2) toxic side effects derived from low cell specificity. Notably, the visualisation of immune cells in the tumour microenvironment will allow to monitor cancer progression in real-time and to run profiling studies to discover new biomarkers for cancer therapy. Initial in vitro studies to confirm the activity and selectivity of FLUORODRUGS will be performed in bone marrow-derived macrophages. Further, relevant mouse cancer models will be used to validate the theranostic agents in vivo. FLUORODRUGS will involve multidisciplinary training in biology, spectroscopy, pharmacology and imaging, and will render a unique generation of smart chemical tools to enhance diagnosis and treatment of cancer. This project will open a whole range of opportunities for my future career development in cancer biology and medicinal chemistry.
Joining up users for maximising the profile, the innovation and the necessary globalisation of jive

“Joining up Users for Maximising the Profile, the Innovation and the Necessary Globalisation of JIVE” (JUMPING JIVE) aims to prepare and position European Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) for the SKA era, and to secure the role of JIV-ERIC in the European and global landscape of Research Infrastructures. 

On a European scale, the proposed activities will raise the profile of JIVE among scientists and operators of radio-astronomical facilities, by widely advocating its science capabilities and its role as research infrastructure provider within the international radio astronomy community. These activities will focus on outreach and on reinforcing science cases for the next decade. New partnerships will be pursued, and in addition JIVE will expand its potential user base by offering geodetic and enhanced astrometric processing. Finally, the possibility of the International LOFAR Telescope using the same ERIC governance structure in the future will be investigated. 

With respect to global VLBI, the aim is to place JIV-ERIC in a leading role in the definition of scientific and technical standards in the SKA era. JIVE will take charge of a number of operational interfaces that will be essential for truly global VLBI, and establish close connections with the African VLBI Network and the SKA as the main strategic partners for the next decade.

The water resources in Gansu Province are abundant,belonging to the Yellow River,Yangtze River,inland rivers,the three big basins and nine water systems.They offer habitats for more than 100 aboriginal fish species,among which 55 can only be found in China.With human activities affecting and disturbing the environment,many places which are good for fishes to live have been damaged or are being damaged.So many species are endangered and the variety of aboriginal fishes is reducing quickly.This paper analyses the general situation of aboriginal fishes in Gansu and the problems in the development and utilization,and put forward some sustainable development strategies to develop reasonably and protect the aboriginal fish resources in Gansu.
Znhit6: a new sumo e3 ligase regulating rna metabolism

It is widely accepted that eukaryotic cells contain large populations of small nucleolar RNA-protein complexes (snoRNPs), which mediate the modification of rRNA nucleotides and facilitate cleavage of rRNA precursors. Thus, they may control general protein translation by regulating the level and function of ribosomes. It is currently thought that understanding the process of snoRNP biogenesis will provide the knowledge indispensable to determine their exact function and means of regulation. Although, it is known that SUMO-mediated protein modifications are crucial for snoRNP functions, the E3 responsible for this process as well as their precise targets, or time and space frame of the modification are not known. Preliminary results of the host group obtained by novel proteomic approaches demonstrated that proteins of box C/D snoRNP complex undergo SUMOylation and that BCD1/ZNHIT6 might be a new SUMO E3 ligase responsible for these modifications.
The specific aim of this study is to demonstrate whether ZNHIT6 indeed is a SUMO E3 ligase, to identify its substrates and reveal the function of BCD1-mediated SUMOylation of these targets in the regulation of RNA metabolism. For that purpose, I will be trained in a number of state-of the-art techniques. Notably, I will create a series of cell lines depleted of BCD1 or expressing its tagged versions using CRISPR/Cas technology. The role of ZNHIT6 in RNA metabolism will be analysed by classical biological methods, such as: IF, WB, FACS. In addition, I will use new mass spectrometry based approach designed by the host lab for the detection of SUMOylated targets. A wide range of in vitro assays will also be used to determine interactions and SUMO E3 ligase activity of ZNHIT6. The innovative character of this proposal lies in the complementarity of research techniques used and the participants involved for studying this biological question and will provide insights into the cross talk between SUMOylation and RNA metabolism.
