Comprehensive (scale-spreading) analysis of the influencing factors and their effect on the fish fauna in the inner-alpine area

River ecosystems are strongly influenced by landform and human activities within the surrounding valley at multiple scales. Most rivers are contaminated by a combination of different interventions, leading to a dramatic change in the aquatic habitat and the organism community. Fish are an established biological indicator in the European Union. Through information about species assemblage, abundance, dominance and population structure it is possible to make reliable predictions about the whole river ecosystem. The dramatic change within the fish fauna in Tyrol and South Tyrol become evident through the local decline of populations, the threat of fish stocks and the disappearance of species. An additional threat is the loss of the genetic integrity due to stocking activities with non native species. This, too, can lead to the loss of autochthonous species._x000D_

In contrast to most of the previous research where only individual originators were examined, in this project we will determine the influence of (as far as possible) all influence factors and make them visible through geostatistic and multiscale models. We plan on incorporating the gained findings into river management plans, which can be used to influence future decisions on environmental protection.
Synthesis, characterization and solar photocatalytic performance of In2O3-decorated Bi2O3

Abstract In 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 3 composite photocatalysts with different In 2 O 3 content were prepared using a pore impregnation method with Bi 2 O 3 as the substrate. The composite photocatalysts exhibit enhanced photocatalytic activity compared to Bi 2 O 3 for the degradation of aqueous methyl orange (MO) solution under solar irradiation. The samples were characterized in terms of BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV/Vis diffuse reflectance spectroscopy (DRS), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and surface photovoltage (SPV). On the basis of the results, a mechanism is proposed to account for the enhanced photocatalytic activity of these In 2 O 3 /Bi 2 O 3 composites.
SHIFT REGISTER CIRCUIT, DISPLAY DEVICE PROVIDED WITH SAME, AND SHIFT REGISTER CIRCUIT DRIVING METHOD

A display device is implemented that can suppress degradation in display quality caused by crosstalk, without causing an increase in frame size or an increase in power consumption. Each bistable circuit includes an output terminal (49) that outputs a state signal; a thin film transistor (T1) having a drain terminal to which a high-level potential (VDD) is provided, and a source terminal to which the output terminal (49) is connected; a thin film transistor (T2) having a source terminal connected to a region netA connected to a gate terminal of the thin film transistor (T1), and a gate terminal to which a clock (CKA) is provided; a thin film transistor (T6) for increasing the potential of a region netZ connected to a drain terminal of the thin film transistor (T2); and thin film transistors (T4, T5, and T3) for decreasing the potentials of the netA, the netC, and the output terminal (49), respectively. A channel area of the thin film transistor (T1) is larger than that of the thin film transistor (T2).
CONTINUOUS INTAGLIO PRINTING APPARATUS AND METHOD

A continuous multi-station intaglio printing system enables use of a continuous web of letterhead paper or business card stock to which various indicia of single of multiple colors may be engraved in precise registration and subsequently severed or die cut into individual sheets of letterhead paper or business cards of regular or irregular shape. Each engraving station includes a hydraulic press to perform the engraving operation by means of an engraving die. The engraving die is removably mounted to a support using aligned pins and openings to effect precise registration of the engraving die. Registration of the engraving die, as well as a cutting die, may be precisely obtained with respect to the indicia on the engraved web material using a photo optic sensor for detecting a registration mark on the web material. Precision multi-colored engraving, as well as precision die cutting of the web material may be obtained in a multi-station intaglio printing system.
Modelling and computation of shocks and interfaces

The proposed ITN entitled  ""Modelling and computation of Shocks and Interfaces""
will focus on the training of young researchers in the general area of nonlinear hyperbolic and convection dominated PDEs with emphasis on innovative modelling and computational methods.

The research program of the proposed ITN is centered on an important field (in terms of both history and scope), that is placed at the forefront of modern Computational and Applied Mathematics.
The fact that hyperbolic convection dominated PDEs is probably one of the very few areas  
within Computational and Applied Mathematics, where traditionally modelling, Physics, Mechanics, analytical approaches, and advanced computational methods have contributed in synergy to several achievements to date, makes this field eminently suitable to train young researchers in. These researchers can become research leaders in a wide area as well as
impacting on both industry and non-academic scientific institutions.
The network will  consist of some of Europe's leading research groups on hyperbolic PDEs, and  includes experts on Modelling, Analysis and Computation.

A well defined training program is outlined in the proposal. The training program emphasises the European and international dimension of the effort.  The training design  is expected to produce effective results and foster the expertise on how to structure doctoral training at the European level and enhance the innovation capacity of the involved individuals.

The innovative techniques developed will be applied to diverse concrete problems ranging from fluid dynamics and geophysical flows  to materials science. In the pursuance of this goal, the research groups will be assisted by experts in  these areas of application and non-academic partners, resulting in a significant enhancement of the impact of the research and training program
AUTOMATED PROCESS FOR DETERMINING AMOUNT OF MEAT REMAINING ON ANIMAL CARCASS

An automated process assesses an amount of meat remaining on a trimmed animal carcass by generating image data of the carcass and processing the image data in a computer to calculate the amount of meat remaining on the carcass. The automated process can be carried out using an equation developed by counting pixels in an area of interest in images of a plurality of reference trimmed carcasses from which the remaining meat is thereafter scraped and weighed, to produce data points used to develop the equation which is then used to calculate the amount of meat remaining on a trimmed carcass as it proceeds down a processing line.

“The role of urbanization in female empowerment: the turkish case in comparative perspective”

Female empowerment is perceived both as a policy tool for the betterment of overall welfare of the societies, as well as a policy target both in Europe and throughout the world. However, women still lag behind men in education, economic affluence, and political representation in many countries, even in some of the most “developed” ones. The proposed project aims to shed light on the dynamics behind female empowerment, specifically focusing on the role of urbanization. Modernization and industrialization bring about several advantages for many women such as better education and livelihoods, better say for themselves and their children, and fairer political representation. Yet, urbanization remains insufficient to eradicate the extant problems that women have faced and creates new challenges and obstacles for many. The proposed project argues that female empowerment is a multi-faceted, multi-level phenomenon that calls for such a research strategy and hypothesizes that urbanization has a complex, non-linear effect on female empowerment. To better understand the concept at hand and pinpoint the ways to enhance it, the project incorporates country-, local-, and individual-levels of analysis. The project also combines the strengths of quantitative and qualitative techniques to offer a fuller picture about female empowerment. The main focus of the project is the relationship between urbanization and female empowerment in Turkey, while it also provides a comparative global-level analysis with clear implications for Europe. The proposed research aims to make novel contributions to the feminist studies, urban studies, development studies, and democratization literatures and enhance the competitiveness of European research. In addition to its academic merit, the project also has policy implications aimed at policymakers for future policies and projects, as well as the society at large which could be implemented throughout Europe.
Food safety monitoring by electrochemical lateral flow immunoassay

The international food safety community is demanding new technological advances in rapid and quantitative immunobiosensors. These devices will enable the implementation of on-site monitoring processes for the most relevant analytes (pathogens, allergens, etc) set by international standards on food safety at lower costs at affordable costs for the food industry, with the additional health and economic benefits for the society.
BIOLAN, a European SME leader in the field of biosensors for the food industry, aims to disrupt the market within the next years with the commercialization of rapid, low cost, disposable and quantitative one-step inmunobiosensors based on the Electrochemical Lateral Flow Immunoassay (ELFI) analytical technology. 
In FOODSELFI, BIOLAN aims to overcome the current limitations of the LF technology for the development of a rapid quantitative immunobiosensors (lack of quantitative and reproducible results to allow mass manufacturing), through a new ELFI technology concept formulation: screen printed electrodes in the same paper material substrate of the Lateral Flow immunoassay. This simplified design could enable a mass-manufacturing process of quantitative immunosensors with increased sensitivity and reproducibility levels, by means of 
In order to achieve this goal, BIOLAN ambitions to exploit its deep skills in two technologies critical for the development of mass-manufacturing process of quantitative biosensors, such electrochemical detection and electrode screen printing. However, BIOLAN lacks the knowledge on other critical skills such lateral flow inmunoassays and paper-based microfluidics. 
Through the support of an SME Innovation Associate expert in the identified missing skills, working in close collaboration with a multidisciplinary team of biologist, chemist, and electronic engineers, BIOLAN will test the feasibility of FOODSELFI’s business idea and will define an innovation programme for its successful implementation.
Secure management platform for shared process resources

To pave the way forward for IS as a solution for more efficient processing and energy systems for the
process industry, we will develop a secure ICT platform (SHAREBOX) for the flexible management of 
shared process resources that will provide plant operations and production managers with the 
robust and reliable information that they need in real-time in order to effectively and confidently 
share resources (plant, energy, water, residues, and recycled materials) with other companies in a 
symbiotic eco-system. 

A suite of new analysis and optimisation tools for flexible energy use and material flow integration 
will be developed for optimising symbiosis among companies. These tools will be based on input-
output (IO) modelling for resource (waste and energy) supply-demand matching and process 
efficiency analysis (to understand physical and technological conditions), game theoretical (GT) 
approach for integrating company behaviour in cost-, benefit-, and resource-sharing (to understand 
economic conditions), and agent-based modelling (ABM) for designing the (economic, 
environmental, and social) optimal symbiotic network (to have the holistic optimum). The outputs 
from the SHAREBOX controller will provide plant and operations managers with commands for 
actions to be taken and/or recommendations for decision support. It will be ensured that all 
commands and recommendations a) fulfil plant operations requirements, b) are within the 
constraints of any contractual obligations, c) are in compliance with all regulatory thresholds, and d) 
deliver optimal impacts in terms of cost/savings and ecological footprints. The historical data that is 
generated by the SHAREBOX platform will be processed by data mining tools that will provide the 
production/process BIG DATA for symbiotic shared resources optimisation. The platform will be co-
created, implemented and tested at 4 demo locations in EU, using realistic industrial streams and 
process conditions.
Quantification of oxidative sulphur cycling in marine sediments

The goal of this proposal is to quantify the rates and processes of sulphide oxidation in coastal sediments. The marine sulphur cycle is driven by the reduction of sulphate to sulphide coupled to microbial decomposition of organic matter, a process which is responsible for up to 50 % of carbon mineralisation in coastal sediment and is intimately connected to earth’s biogeochemical evolution. The sulphide produced by sulphate reduction may either react with Fe to be buried as pyrite or may be oxidised through different pathways and intermediates. The amount of sulphide that is oxidised in marine sediments is not known, yet oxidative sulphur cycling has critical implications for estimates of sulphate reduction, sub-seafloor carbon mineralisation, methane oxidation, microbial metabolism and the interpretation of ancient and modern stable isotope signatures. Quantification of oxidative sulphur cycling, including sulphide oxidation rates, the formation of key intermediate species and associated stable isotope effects is therefore fundamental to our understanding of sub-seafloor biogeochemistry. 
     The research proposed herein will address these yet unanswered questions through a novel combination of radiotracer experiments, stable isotope measurements, and analyses of inorganic sulphur speciation. This approach will be applied to (1) quantify rates of concurrent sulphate reduction and sulphide oxidation in coastal sediment, (2) quantify the formation of intermediate species formed during sulphide oxidation and (3) measure stable isotope effects associated with oxidative sulphur cycling. This work will result in a more accurate description of sediment biogeochemistry by resolving current debates regarding the role of sulphur for carbon mineralisation ad further constraining processes which affect the sulphur stable isotope distribution.

Evaluation of Code Inspection on an Outsourced Software Project in Mauritius

Software inspection is a proven methodology that enables the detection and removal of defects in software artifacts and thus contributes towards software quality assurance. It eventually leads to significant budget and time benefits. To be most effective, inspections must be an integral part of the software development life cycle and form part of the development schedule. This study considers code inspection as it is the most frequently used inspection in the software development process. For the implementation part of this research, code inspection is carried out in a selected outsourced project in a company situated in Mauritius, and the results are evaluated based on the inspection process and feedback of people involved in the inspection process. General Terms Software Code Inspection.
Timing of Serum Active MMP-9 and MMP-2 Levels in Acute and Subacute Phases After Spontaneous Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Serum active matrix metalloproteinase (MMP)-9 and -2 levels and their tissue inhibitors TIMP-1 and -2 were measured in 28 patients with spontaneous intracerebral hemorrhage (SICH) at 24 h, 48 h and 7 days after bleeding. Perihematomal edema volume was calculated on non-enhanced computed tomography scans by using the formula AxBxC/2 at the same time points. Mean levels of serum active MMP-9 and MMP-2, as well as perihematomal edema volume, were significantly different over time (p < 0.0001). In comparison to values observed at 24 h, serum active MMP-9 mean concentrations increased at 48 h and reached their peak at 7 days, serum active MMP-2 mean levels progressively declined at 48 h and at 7 days, whereas perihematomal edema volume increased at 48 h and at 7 days. Perihematomal edema volume was positively correlated with active MMP-9 and MMP-2 at 24 h (p < 0.02 and p < 0.05, respectively) and with active MMP-9 at 48 h (p < 0.05), but was inversely correlated with active MMP-2 at 7 days (p < 0.02). These findings suggest a different involvement of active MMP-9 and MMP-2 in perihematomal-associated inflammatory response occurring in the transition from acute to subacute phases after SICH.
Multisensory-Based spatial sound

The worlds of multisensory research and multimedia technologies have originated and, for the most part, still remain largely independent. The first exists mostly within the field of experimental psychology, or psychophysics, while the second one is mostly studied and developed by engineers. This project aims at implementing this perfect multidisciplinary marriage in the field of acoustics. A series of psychophysical experiments will be carried out at Aalto School of Engineering, in the Spatial Sound Group, aiming at obtaining detailed guidelines on how to reproduce sound for the best audiovisual experience. The results will be further applied to a new sound spatialization algorithm designed specifically to enhance human audiovisual experience, while reducing computational complexity where it is not needed. The ultimate goal is to reach every consumer, namely in television, cinema, gaming, computer streaming and teleconferencing applications. Direct actions to reach the general community, as well as the industry, will ensure maximum practical impact. 
I am a young researcher, in psychoacoustics with strong background in multisensory interactions, as demonstrated by numerous publications and projects. My supervisor is a highly regarded scientist and developer of spatial sound algorithms that are implemented worldwide. I am from Portugal, the host is Finnish; I am a psychologist, and the research group is composed of engineers. This extremely innovative project, complementary at so many levels, will create a perfect combination for my personal scientific development and open great career opportunities, while bringing immediate institutional benefits. The topic is framed within one of the most profitable business areas in the world, Europe being no exception. This project will bring a very significant change to that field.
