Mediterranean organization structure and strengthening of innovation capacities for sustainable development

The project aims to create transnational network structure between regional development actors with the specific goal: to improve implementation of regional policies in the innovation field and increase the capacity for sustainable development by encouraging innovation of “clean” technologies. The partners have stated that social environment in the Med regions is not stimulating enough to assure good results in the innovation sphere. Partners believe that Med space has high potential to develop innovations, which will contribute to sustainable development in the whole Med area. The main obstacle is the lack of coordination and co-operation among key stakeholders (government institutions, public research institutions, universities, local communities, chamber of commerce, SMEs,…). The regional development actors see an opportunity to play an important role in strengthening innovation capacities by cooperating and coordinating with stakeholders in order to provide more efficient implementation and functioning of undertaken measures. The concrete outcome is to establish pilot structure in each region for counseling and providing information to target groups (SMEs, young researchers, innovators,…). Activities set up in the project proposal will be implemented through the transnational network structure to provide considerable impact on strengthening innovation capacities at transnational level and so contribute to the “green” economic growth and employment in the Med area.

In order to further improve followability of an actual vehicle speed with respect to a commanded vehicle speed at a starting time point, the present invention is provided with a vehicle speed control part (46X) that, a predetermined time before the starting time point that is a time when the commanded vehicle speed rises from zero, sets a clutch position of a vehicle to an initial intermediate position where power is partially transmitted, and at and during a certain period of time after the starting time point, performs clutch feedback control that changes the clutch position depending on a deviation between the actual vehicle speed and the commanded vehicle speed so as to make the actual vehicle speed follow the commanded vehicle speed, wherein the vehicle speed control part sets the initial intermediate position depending on rising commanded acceleration that is a time rate of change at the time when a value of the commanded vehicle speed rises from zero.
PLANT FOR TEMPERING OF A BUILDING

The invention relates to a plant for tempering of a building and comprising an energy storage in ground formed by ground heat exchangers (GHEX) coupled in parallel and each provided with a heat insulated leg (20) and a non-insulated leg (24) in good thermal contact with surrounding soil. The heat exchangers are included in a circulating circuit for a circulation fluid, which circuit includes a circulation pump (65) and room temperature keeping devices (RTKD). The energy storage has, according to the invention, together with its ground heat exchangers (GHEX) been imparted in the depth direction a continuously varying temperature from a cold end to a warm end. The flow direction in the ground heat exchangers is controlled by a reversing valve (76) such, that a warm keeping function the circulation fluid is received from the warm end and at cool keeping function the circulation fluid is received from the cold end. The circulation pump is controlled such, that the circulation flow brings about a temperature difference between the inlet and outlet (60, 63) of the ground heat exchangers (GHEX) that is always is constant with a value that can be calculated with the aid of the properties of the ground and the actual components.

Early occurrence of cerebral white matter abnormality detected in a neonate with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia

The development of white matter signal abnormalities on magnetic resonance brain imaging (MRI) in children and young adults with congenital adrenal hyperplasia has been well documented. Existing theories regarding the development of these findings include effects of electrolyte imbalances, effects of disease-related hormone abnormalities, and non-physiologic long-term administration of corticosteroids. Many of the patients previously described were normal neurologically. We describe the case of white matter signal abnormalities in a neonate with salt-wasting congenital adrenal hyperplasia who presented with seizures during the first week of life, possibly due to a transient blood calcium disturbance. This case suggests that white matter changes are not simply the result of chronic insults and that they may not always be subclinical.
Identity matching from still images without face information

In computer vision, human identity matching from images and/or video has been an active research topic for more than two decades and its popularity is increasing with the increase in computing power. The state of the art techniques are based on face images and gait recognition from long video sequences. However, in many real applications only some static images of the subject may be available where face information is missing (e.g. posterior views). These scenarios have not been addressed by the research community as they are difficult to handle. In this action, we propose a method for matching identities from a set of 2D images of a person without any facial information. The method consists of two steps: at first, the human body is modelled by a 3D articulated model whose pose is estimated by its 2D projections onto the images. Then, biometric features are computed by fitting 3D deformable models to the image data, thus capturing the form and size of the main parts of the anatomy. The overall framework works under a probabilistic framework, with a learning step, in order to encode pose and anatomy variations between a set of individuals that are to be identified.
On the fragmentation boundary in magnetized self-gravitating discs

We investigate the role of magnetic fields in the fragmentation of self-gravitating discs using 3D global ideal magnetohydrodynamic simulations performed with the "phantom" smoothed particle hydrodynamics code. For initially toroidal fields, we find two regimes. In the first, where the cooling time is greater than five times the dynamical time, magnetic fields reduce spiral density wave amplitudes, which in turn suppresses fragmentation. This is the case even if the magnetic pressure is only a tenth of the thermal pressure. The second regime occurs when the cooling time is sufficiently short that magnetic fields cannot halt fragmentation. We find that magnetised discs produce more massive fragments, due to both the additional pressure exerted by the magnetic field, and the additional angular momentum transport induced by Maxwell stresses. The fragments are confined to a narrower range of initial semimajor axes than those in unmagnetised discs. The orbital eccentricity and inclination distributions of unmagnetised and magnetised disc fragments are similar. Our results suggest the fragmentation boundary could be at cooling times a factor of two lower than predicted by purely hydrodynamical models.
Trailing the Growth from Nativism to Africanity in Lusophone African Poetry

Article explored the development of African poetry, that is from nativism to be Africanity, in Lusophone African poetries. The study used library research by analysing the impact of printing press, public education, and freedom of expression emergences toward literary activities in Portuguese colonies in Africa. In this regard ethnological and historical studies on the colonies had an important role to play for the later development of nationalism among the colonised African peoples. Article’s discussion concerned with describing proper literary activities in Portuguese began in the Lusophone countries of Africa, poetry characterization by the “black” and “white” presentations, added by some example of poetries. It can be concluded the problematic of colour is present in African poems in Portuguese right from its inception, The common purpose of the nineteenth century Lusophone African poets was to discover the regional cultural history and identity, which was denied to them for centuries by the foreign rulers.
Venous Thromboembolic Disease in the Intensive Care Unit

Critically ill patients are at increased risk of developing venous thromboemboli (VTE). Risk factors that predispose them to acquiring VTE encompass factors that usually afflict the general medical population as well as factors attained in the intensive care unit (ICU) (e.g., sedation, mechanical ventilation). The poor cardiopulmonary reserve of this patient population is intolerant of even small pulmonary emboli (PE), which emphasizes the importance of preventing VTE from ever occurring. Indeed, the complications associated with hospital-acquired VTE increase morbidity, mortality, hospital length of stay, and costs. Without thromboprophylaxis, the incidence of VTE in the ICU ranges from 15 to 60%. Systematic implementation of VTE prophylaxis significantly reduces this rate and as a consequence, morbidity and mortality. In fact, prevention of VTE is so important that the American College of Chest Physicians (ACCP) developed guidelines on the use of routine VTE prophylaxis in critically ill patients. Therefore, upon admission, all ICU patients should be evaluated for and immediately prescribed the appropriate thromboprophylaxis therapy.
Hydrodynamic trapping of Tetrahymena thermophila for the long-term monitoring of cell behaviors

Microfluidic trapping technology has been widely applied for single-cell observation in order to reveal characteristic cell behaviors. However, this strategy has yet to be tested for monitoring highly motile cells, which are often biologically important. In this paper, we seek the conditions that enable effective and long-term trapping of a prominent model ciliate Tetrahymena thermophila within a hydrodynamic microfluidic device. Although motility and flexibility of T. thermophila make it difficult to avoid escaping from the trap, we show that tuning some key parameters in the hydrodynamic circuit was effective to achieve approximately 40 h cell retention, which is long enough to monitor cell behaviors over several generations. Here, we demonstrate the real-time observation of cell division and phagocytic digestion, revealing interesting phenomena such as a wide distribution in doubling time in a poor synthetic medium and heterogeneous time courses in digestion processes. Our results present a strategy for trapping highly motile ciliate cells in order to study the dynamic behaviors of single cells.
Life-Like supramolecular materials based on reaction cycles with designed feedback

This “Life-Cycle” ERC proposal aims to develop a new class of artificial supramolecular materials that are kept in sustained non-equilibrium states by continuous dissipation of chemical fuels. Supramolecular polymers in current artificial materials stick together through weak reversible bonds that can be exchange by thermal energy. In contrast, natural supramolecular polymers such as those in the cytoskeletal network use chemical fuels such as adenosine triphosphate (ATP) to achieve an incredible adaptivity, motility, growth, and response to external inputs. Development of chemically fueled artificial supramolecular polymers should therefore lead to more life-like materials that could perform functions so far reserved only for living beings. 
The proposed materials are based on supramolecular reaction cycles that have both positive and negative feedback in order to achieve emergent properties, such as oscillations and waves. Two different approaches are used: i) supramolecular polymers that are fueled by redox reactions, and ii) enzyme-switchable supramolecular polymers that consume one of the natural fuels, namely ATP. The proposed polymers self-assemble cooperatively, which is used as a positive feedback mechanism. Using other co-assembling species we can engineer negative feedback in our reaction cycles to obtain unique supramolecular dynamics. Since the building blocks react, but also self-assemble they have built-in chemomechanical properties, much like in living materials such as the cytoskeleton. 
First we study the temporal behavior (part A) of our reaction cycles in well-stirred environments. Next, we move to non-stirred conditions (part B), where spatiotemporal behavior can be studied. And lastly, we develop free-standing non-equilibrium interactive materials based on our reaction cycles (part C). Overall, our approach opens a new way to obtain more life-like artificial materials that can eventually perform complex (biological) functions.
The evolution of the low-cost airlines in US. The case study on Southwest and Jetblue airlines

The low-cost companies emerged for the first time in the USA airlines’ industry, their model being subsequently taken by the world-wide operators. The purpose of the present paper is to analyze the development stages of the USA low-cost operators’ market, identifying the determinants of the evolution of two major airlines: Southwest and JetBlue, through an empirical study conducted on these two companies in the end of the year 2009. Therefore, the information was collected both from secondary and primary sources, fact that allowed not only a descriptive approach of the low-cost airlines, but also an empirical research based on a questionnaire delivered by email to the two US operators. The information received was analyzed, tabulated and interpreted for each operator. The conclusions of this study suggest the fact that the market of the low-cost airlines from USA is in a stage much more advanced than those from other regions, being nowadays in the maturity phase. Regarding Southwest and JetBlue, we do notice the fact that the methods used by them in lowering the tariffs are based not only on the cost reduction, as it is the case of other lowcost operators, but also on maintaining a good ratio between their price and the quality of the services offered. The results presented in the end of the paper made the object of a larger case study.

The Role of CHD7 in the Transcriptional Control of Heart Development

Chromatin remodelling provides a key mechanism for the regulation of gene expression through dynamic alterations in nucleosome occupancy at promoters and enhancers. Haploinsufficiency for the ATP-dependent chromatin remodeller chromodomain-helicase-DNA-binding protein 7 (CHD7) causes human CHARGE syndrome. CHARGE is characterised by a distinct pattern of congenital anomalies, including cardiovascular malformations, and has traditionally been considered a neurocristopathy. However, a number of the congenital heart defects associated with CHARGE cannot be attributed to disruption to the neural crest alone. This thesis therefore addresses the tissue-specific requirements and roles for CHD7 during cardiogenesis. CHD7 protein is shown to be present throughout the developing heart until E13.5. Conditional ablation of Chd7 in the early cardiogenic mesoderm results in embryonic lethality due to severe cardiovascular defects. These include haemorrhaging and oedema, major venous and arterial pole malformations, and disruption to cardiac innervation and vascularisation. To further dissect tissue-specific requirements for CHD7, cardiomyocyte-, second heart field- and endothelial-specific knockdowns were also performed. Each cross results in a milder subset of the cardiac defects observed after mesodermal ablation, indicating that CHD7 is required in multiple lineages within the cardiogenic mesoderm. Microarray analysis and validation by in situ hybridisation were used to identify genes dysregulated in the heart following mesodermal Chd7 ablation. These included components of the Semaphorin and Slit-Robo signalling pathways, which have known roles in heart development. Furthermore, aberrant expression of genes involved in calcium handling within cardiomyocytes is seen. Excitation-contraction coupling is disrupted in mutant embryonic cardiomyocytes, demonstrating relevance of the gene expression changes at the cellular level. This work reveals a requirement for CHD7 in mesodermal cardiac progenitors for both inflow and outflow tract development. Novel pathways are identified downstream of CHD7 activity in the developing heart, including the extracellular Semaphorin and Slit-Robo pathways, as well as components of the excitation-contraction coupling machinery.
Higgs boson production in photon-photon interactions with proton, light-ion, and heavy-ion beams at current and future colliders

The production of the Higgs boson in photon-photon interactions with proton and nucleus beams at three planned or proposed future CERN colliders --- the high-luminosity Large Hadron Collider (HL-LHC), the high-energy LHC (HE-LHC), and the Future Circular Collider (FCC) --- is studied. The cross sections for the process AA$\xrightarrow{\gamma\gamma}$(A)H(A), with the ions A surviving the interaction and the Higgs scalar exclusively produced, are computed with MadGraph 5 modified to include the corresponding elastic $\gamma$ fluxes, for Pb-Pb, Xe-Xe, Kr-Kr, Ar-Ar, O-O, p-Pb, and p-p over the nucleon-nucleon collision energy range $\sqrt{s}\approx 3$--100 TeV. Simulations of the $\gamma\gamma\to H \to b\bar{b}$ decay mode --- including realistic (mis)tagging and reconstruction efficiencies for the final-state b-jets, as well as appropriate kinematical selection criteria to reduce the similarly computed $\gamma\gamma\to b\bar{b},c\bar{c},q\bar{q}$ continuum backgrounds --- have been carried out. Taking into account the expected luminosities for all systems, the yields and significances for observing the Higgs boson in ultraperipheral collisions (UPCs) are estimated. At the HL-LHC and HE-LHC, the colliding systems with larger Higgs significance are Ar-Ar(6.3 TeV) and Kr-Kr(12.5 TeV) respectively, but $3\sigma$ evidence for two-photon Higgs production would require 200 and 30 times larger integrated luminosities than those planned today at both machines. Factors of ten can be gained by running for a year, rather than the typical 1-month heavy-ion LHC operation, but the process will likely remain unobserved until a higher energy hadron collider, such as the FCC, is built. In the latter machine, the $5\sigma$ observation of Higgs production in UPCs is feasible in just the first nominal run of Pb-Pb and p-Pb collisions at $\sqrt{s} = 39$ and 63 TeV respectively.

Synthesis of Chitosan Protected Nickel Hexacyanoferrate Modified Titanium Oxide Nanotube and Study its Application on Simultaneous Electrochemical Detection of Paracetamol and Caffeine

The nickel hexacyanoferrate decorated titanium oxide nanotube (NiHCF@TNT) was prepared by ion exchange method by mixing of nickel ion modified titanium oxide nanotube with a known amount of potassium ferricyanide under stirring over a period of 5 h. The resulting product was isolated and then characterized with XRD, FT-IR and SEM. The electrochemical behaviour of NiHCF@TNT was investigated by cyclic voltammetry using chitosan as stabilizing agent. The electrocatalytic property of chitosan protected NiHCF@TNT was carried out on electrochemical oxidation of paracetamol and caffeine simultaneously. The proposed method may be applied for the electrochemical detection of paracetamol in drug samples. _______________________________________________________________________________
Effect of Foreign Direct Investment on Performance of the Central Bank in Terms of Accounting for the period (1980-2012)

The foreign direct and indirect investment has aroused attention of a lot of governments, organization, companies and individuals. The argument arises over feasibility of this type of investment and the burdens and advantages resulting from it, especially in relation to motives of the foreign companies to make investment, determinants of these foreign investments and methods of organization and management in the foreign companies. Success of any government in general or any business organization in particular in solving the economic problems or being able to achieve a certain goals is undoubtedly an indicator to quality of their decisions and rationality of their plans and policies. Achievement of the economic and social benefit to the community members is not confined to reaching a certain degree of self-sufficiency or internal social welfare, rather it can be provided through opening doors to the foreign investments.
