A manifesto for nonsense : the futurist drive in Deleuze's poetics

This thesis presents a critical analysis of Deleuze’s philosophy of language, using and examining Russian and Italian futurist manifestos to draw out the ‘futurist’ aspects of Deleuze’s language and thought. These aspects constitute a poetics of Deleuze as well as a poetics of the avant-garde, presenting in both areas the celebrated, utopian state of language as dynamic, performative matter. The way in which futurist manifestos often attempt to perform and demand their aims simultaneously, and the temporal problems which arise due to this, is an operation which can be perceived in Deleuze’s writing. The difference between writing which describes a linguistic practice and writing which performs this linguistic practice is a temporal gap requiring a double operation of description and enactment, which the performative manifesto purports to fulfil. In both Deleuzian and futurist poetics, however, the fulfilment of this double operation can lead to problematic territory.

Deleuze presents several linguistic practices in The Logic of Sense which can also be located in the writings of both Russian and Italian futurists, despite the differing political and aesthetic programmes of these variants of the movement. The common element identified and examined in this thesis is an accelerative drive to eliminate the temporal gap between items in an analogical equation so that synonymy is no longer an inexact science; the conjunction and the copula are truncated and cleave together, resulting in radical linguistic becoming. My argument is that minute technical linguistic modifications such as these operate synecdochically within futurist and Deleuze’s poetics, standing for their creators’ entire conceptual systems. Ultimately, the paradoxes inherent in the relationship between the radical fluidity of futurist nonsense and the radical fixity of its ensuing formalism provide a new way of thinking about Deleuze’s approach to language.
Nanoscale aromaticity and supramolecular electronic materials

ARO-MAT will target emergent cooperative electronic and magnetic phenomena in molecules with dimensions of 5–25 nm (i.e. as big as many proteins). The project will develop supramolecular architectures with large pi-systems and well-defined geometries, in which the frontier orbitals coherently delocalize charge over the whole nanostructure. Aromaticity is a key emergent phenomenon; it can be defined as the ability of a cyclic molecule to sustain a ring current when placed in a magnetic field. Until recently, it was thought that aromaticity is restricted to small molecules, with circuits of less than about 22 pi-electrons. Anderson has shown that circuits of more than 160 pi-electrons (circumference > 15 nm) can exhibit strong aromatic ring currents. Testing even larger rings will elucidate the link between aromaticity and the persistent currents found in non-molecular mesoscopic rings (diameter 50–500 nm). ARO-MAT will explore the effects of molecular size and topology on nanoscale aromaticity. Other emergent phenomena to be addressed include the formation of open-shell singlet polyradical ground states, magnetic bistability in systems with many paramagnetic metal centers, and the control of charge transport through single-molecule devices by quantum interference. This multidisciplinary project combines organic synthesis, supramolecular chemistry, theory, electronic structure calculations, NMR and EPR spectroscopy, magnetochemistry, molecular electronics and low-temperature charge transport experiments. The core objective is to create low band gap materials with unprecedented electronic and magnetic properties, and to understand the structure-property relationships governing the behavior of these new materials. Most of the target structures are based on metalloporphyrins because of their redox activity, stability, structural versatility, suitability for template-directed synthesis and ability to position multiple strongly coupled paramagnetic metal centers.
Towards a long-term africa-eu partnership to raise sustainable food and nutrition security in africa

PROIntensAfrica intends to develop a proposal for a long term research and innovation partnership between Europe and Africa, focusing on the improvement of the food and nutrition security and the livelihoods of African farmers by exploring and exploiting the diversity of pathways to sustainable intensification of African agro-food systems. The exploration will include environmental, economic and social externalities along the whole value chains. PROIntensAfrica has the ambition to formulate a research and innovation agenda, identifying the domains in need for further research to realize the potential of African food systems. In addition, PROIntensAfrica will suggest governance mechanisms that are effective in supporting the partnership. Key is the perception that pooling resources is the best way to align existing and initiate new research. This perception follows the policy of the EC, where instruments of joint programming like ERA-NET, JPI and article 185 aim to accomplish synergy and increase the effectiveness of resources. Pooling resources goes beyond the scientific domain and reaches into the policy domain. Consequently, besides being rooted in sound and challenging research, a partnership proposal needs to meet national and international policies to fly. Therefore PROIntensAfrica pay specific attention to engage with the policy domain, as exemplified by the intended creation of a policy support group. 

The rationale of the project is that a variety of pathways leads to sustainable intensification of African food systems. Different pathways are advocated in literature. High-input farming systems, for example, contrast with organic farming systems, each with their own supporters and criticasters. It is the conviction of the PROIntensAfrica consortium that moving beyond that debate will open exciting new pathways, and that combining elements of different systems will yield innovative systems that are optimally adapted to specific contexts.
Methane Hydrate Upstream Cost Modelling using Single Well Analysis for NEA Region

Methane hydrates are present in substantial quantities in North East Asia and have the potential to disrupt global energy markets once economical extraction methods are identified and developed.  Any NEA country that is able to exploit its methane hydrate resources will potentially alter its need for hydrocarbon imports. This would greatly impact future energy trade relations between NEA and Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries participants and could result in a shift from a broader bilateral energy trade relationship into a narrow one. Demand would decrease and hydrocarbon price fluctuations would affect revenue streams as well as international trade partnerships. In this study, we attempt to present an optimized operational research cost model suing single well analysis for methane hydrate integration into the energy mix in the North East Asian countries. Our model takes into account key parameters including the volume of estimated reserves, the state of current technology & future developments for exploration and production, infrastructure & investment availability, resource allocation, private/public collaborative partnership and costing/pricing in a reservoir dynamics-based analysis under market constraints. Finally, we propose policy recommendation based on our analysis.
Chromatin study of dna double strand breaks

In stark contrast to common belief, cellular DNA is not de facto safe as it constantly encounters numerous perils. To keep chromosomal DNA intact and to prevent the onset of pathological conditions, such as cancer and premature ageing, which are driven by DNA damage-induced genomic instability, life has evolved appropriate protective mechanisms, collectively referred to as the DNA Damage Response (DDR). A vital branch of the DDR is the response to DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs), arguably the most cytotoxic and mutagenic lesions. DSBs lead to the modification of their local chromatin environment to allow scaffolding of downstream protein factories, comprised of signalling, chromatin remodelling and DNA repair proteins. These DSB processing factories assemble in the context of chromatinised DNA, making chromatin architecture crucial for DSB restoration. Though our understanding of how chromatin status affects the DSB response has significantly progressed in recent years, we are only starting to identify factors regulating this intricate interplay. Moreover, current ways to induce DSB result in random, heterogeneous DNA damage, therefore not allowing the study of the DSB response in a specific chromatin compartment. In order to overcome this technical hurdle and to identify new regulators of DSB signalling and repair, I will use a powerful new method, combining the generation of limited, well-distributed DSBs, exclusively located in either euchromatin or heterochromatin, with specific purification of DSB-containing chromatin protein-complexes. Subsequently, I will select, validate and functionally characterise novel factors that have not yet been implicated in the DSB response, but behave similarly to known DSB-related proteins. By performing this multidisciplinary project, I will obtain new scientific and transferrable skills, thus taking a huge step towards true scientific independence and better career opportunities.
High-performance computing framework for predictive simulation of healthcare delivery innovation

In a complex healthcare delivery environment there are unforeseen risks and uncertainties that may unfold when new policies are applied. In silico predictive simulation approaches allow exploration of potential responses of a system to new policy and rule implementations. The validity of such computational models comes into question unless they operate with realistic representations which require significant modeling detail over a large-scale, and with high accuracy. This necessitates a large amount of computing capacity and data management. To address these needs we propose a high-performance computing (HPC) agent-based framework for healthcare system predictive simulations. The framework is designed to emulate a healthcare system modeled at high fidelity and with high resolution data, evaluate its performance in response to different user defined policies, and find polices that maximize outcome measures and system efficiency. The paper details our data preparation procedures, and describes how the framework is implemented and run on a supercomputer to model a healthcare system at an appropriately large scale.
Treatment and outcome of stage Ia1 squamous cell carcinoma of the uterine cervix

To evaluate the treatment and clinical outcome of patients with FIGO stage IA1 cervical squamous cell carcinoma (SCC).Medical records, including 5-year follow-up, were reviewed for 276 patients with stage IA1 SCC.As definitive surgery, 152 (55.1%), 72 (26.1%), 40 (14.5%), and 12 (4.3%) patients underwent conization, hysterectomy, hysterectomy with pelvic lymphadenectomy (PL), and radical hysterectomy with PL, respectively. Among these groups, the 5-year recurrence-free rate was 94.1%, 98.6%, 95%, and 100%, respectively, and the survival rate was 98.7%, 98.6%, 100%, and 100%, respectively. Recurrent disease was identified among 12 (4.3%) patients, and was related to the depth of invasion (P<0.001). Eleven (4.0%) of 276 patients were found to have lymph vascular space invasion (LVSI). There were no positive lymph nodes among 52 patients who underwent PL, including those with LVSI. Conization was followed by hysterectomy in 49 patients. In these patients, residual intraepithelial neoplasia was found in 18 women, 3 of whom had no involved margins on previous conization. In the group of patients treated by conization, recurrence correlated with the status of the endocervical and lateral cone margin (P<0.001).As a conservative approach, conization is an effective and reasonable treatment option for stage IA1 SCC, especially in actively reproductive women.

European materials modelling council

The aim of the EMMC-CSA is to establish current and forward looking complementary activities necessary to bring the field of materials modelling closer to the demands of manufacturers (both small and large enterprises) in Europe. The ultimate goal is that materials modelling and simulation will become an integral part of product life cycle management in European industry, thereby making a strong contribution to enhance innovation and competitiveness on a global level. Based on intensive efforts in the past two years within the European Materials Modelling Council (EMMC) which included numerous consultation and networking actions with representatives of all stakeholders including Modellers, Software Owners, Translators and Manufacturers in Europe, the EMMC identified and proposed a set of underpinning and enabling actions to increase the industrial exploitation of materials modelling in Europe
EMMC-CSA will pursue the following overarching objectives in order to establish and strengthen the underpinning foundations of materials modelling in Europe and bridge the gap between academic innovation and industrial application: 
1. Enhance the interaction and collaboration between all stakeholders engaged in different types of materials modelling, including modellers, software owners, translators and manufacturers.
2. Facilitate integrated materials modelling in Europe building on strong and coherent foundations.
3. Coordinate and support actors and mechanisms that enable rapid transfer of materials modelling from academic innovation to the end users and potential beneficiaries in industry.
4. Achieve greater awareness and uptake of materials modelling in industry, in particular SMEs.
5. Elaborate Roadmaps that (i) identify major obstacles to widening the use of materials modelling in European industry and (ii) elaborate strategies to overcome them.
This EMMC-CSA stems directly out of the actions of the EMMC and will continue and build upon its existing activities.
Thermal Imagers and System Considerations

In this chapter the history of thermal imaging is briefly reviewed and a number of applications are identified before a discussion of how a thermal image is formed and what a thermal image looks like and why it looks that way. As a first step in choosing an infrared imager for use in animal studies and population surveys in the wild we examine the performance parameters provided by both the mid-wave IR band (MWIR) and long wavelength IR band (LWIR) thermal imagers, which feature high thermal sensitivity, spatial resolution, and thermal resolution. Another parameter of importance (signal-to-noise ratio) can be used to give physical insight into the significance of these parameters and how they relate to features we see in images.

Enhancing SME competitiveness and sustainability in the organic sector

The organic market in the European Union has developed significantly in recent years, the total value being approximately 19.7 billion euro with a 9% growth rate in 2011. As organic production grows in Europe, the sector’s focus is on competitiveness and sustainability. While EU public policies have played an important part in the development of the EU organic sector, regional authorities have huge potential to prioritise support for organic approaches, such as market development. In this respect, the EC proposal for an Action Plan for Organic Food and Farming encourages regions to find the most adequate policy and funding mix to support the development of the regional organic sectors. 
The overall objective of SME-ORGANICS is to improve policies and programmes under the Investment for Growth and Jobs goal in order to enhance the competitiveness and sustainability of SMEs in the organic sector of 7 EU regions plus Aargau Canton (Switzerland). The project aims at supporting SMEs in improving their performance in order to enforce the growth capacity of the entire organic regional sector in regional, national and international markets. The interregional learning process will take place around four areas: i) production and processing; ii) commercialization and marketing; iii) training and advice; iv) organic value chain efficiency and governance.  
The main outputs of the project will be: Method Guide, Diagnosis reports of the regional organic sectors, Good Practice Guide, Policy Road Map, Regional Policy Briefs and Regional Action Plans with recommendations for integration into RIS3. Stakeholders benefiting from the project will be all actors in the organic value chains at the regional, national and EU level: cooperatives, agri-food industries, retailers and distributors of organic products, advisory services, chambers of commerce and agriculture, experts on regulatory issues of the organic sector, policy makers, EU’s DGs and other initiatives in the organic sector.

Peer learning innovation services

Peer Learning Innovation Services – PLIS aims at enabling innovation support institutions in regions across Europe to quickly and effectively develop initiatives that will engage, encourage and aid SMEs to use Service Innovation as a mean to maintaining or increasing competitiveness, profitability and jobs.   
A technology driven approach has prevailed for addressing innovation assessment. Given its critical contribution to increases in productivity and jobs, most of the resources within national and regional innovation policies are allocated to encouraging technology driven innovation resulting in the generation of new products and processes based on R&D. However other types of innovation such as Service Innovation are key to maximising economic development at local, regional and European level. 
Consequently, the members of the consortium will collaborate using a Twinning+ as a peer learning methodology in order to develop new approaches to foster Service Innovation among SMEs and improve the current innovation support programmes; enhance the quality, efficiency and customer satisfaction of services provided; increase the number of Service Innovation projects developed by SMEs; accelerate the learning process among the participants; foster the relationship between PLIS partners in innovation services; and, inspire and guide other agencies (and similar organisations) that become interested in how to foster Service Innovation among SMEs.
All PLIS members are most relevant to participate in the peer-learning activities through the Twinning+ methodology given their role in designing and implementing SME innovation management support within their regions; their shared and common objectives; the commitment, motivation and experience of the people involved in the project; and, the capacity to disseminate PLIS findings in order to strengthen peer-learning and boost similar activities to relevant European organisations.
Beyond the illusion of numbers: A challenge for financial regulators and analysts

Global financial crises and potential sovereign defaults provide an opportunity for financial regulators and analysts to revise assumptions in their risk models. These conditions are also an opportunity for regulators and analysts to distinguish the ‘hyper-real’ economy, represented by derivatives, from the real economy, which requires assessment through an analysis of human as well as financial capital. Regulators are required to demonstrate that they are skilled in conducting the most thorough analysis of all elements of the finance system in order to help the investing public to manage risk as much as possible. The contribution of this article is to overview the limitations inherent in regulators’ traditional focus on financial analysis, as well as in financial analysts’ failure to consider the relevance of people management data when evaluating the potential performance of knowledge-intensive, service-based organisations. The article argues for a stronger focus on analysis of non-financial capital, including human capital, to provide a more effective ‘early warning’ of potential financial distress.
