Biostimulant alternative casing for a sustainable and profitable mushroom industry

The mushroom sector is an excellent example of circular economy to provide high quality protein from crop substrate based on bio-based agricultural wastes. Productivity is however highly sensitive to several biotic disorders among which fungal parasites are responsible for major crop losses. Although chemical fungicides have been historically employed to fight mycoparasites, regulatory limitations for mushroom growers and increasing consumer awareness are urgently requesting solutions to overcome fungicide dependence.
Bacterial strains isolated in a previous research from the casing layer employed in mushroom cultivation have proved to selectively suppress germination and development of most harmful mycoparasites, while additionally selected microbiota proved to work as mushroom growth promoting microorganisms. This project aims to develop a tailor-made solution for the mushroom sector where a peat-free casing soil (peat is an unsustainably sourced on which the sector is highly dependent to produce the peat-based casing employed nowadays) will serve as carrier for the selected microbiota that will act as crop biostimulant. This solution will be validated industrially by 4 different mushroom farms across the EU which integrate all the European cropping systems. 

BIOSCHAMP will generate a solution to improve industrial profitability while reducing the agronomical need for pesticides by 90%. Additionally, BIOSCHAMP solution will introduce innovation within the industry that will lead to create jobs in low populated rural areas and to secure long-term viability of the sector while complying with regulatory restrictions for chemical fungicides and peat-based materials.

To accomplish these ambitious goals, the BIOSCHAMP project features a multidisciplinary consortium representing a complete picture of the European mushroom sector and associated industry with high priority given to mushroom growers noteworthy lead by a growers association.

Travaux de R & D sur deux systèmes alternatifs d’alimentation en GPL pour véhicules à moteur en phase liquide

L’objet de ce projet est la construction de deux systèmes alternatifs d’alimentation en GPL pour les véhicules à moteur en phase liquide. Système DGI LM (installation de génération V) et système DGI LCC (installation de génération VI). Dans le système DGI LM, le gaz de phase liquide sera injecté séquentiellement avec des injecteurs de GPL supplémentaires dans le collecteur d’admission. Dans le collecteur d’admission, le gaz liquide est décompressé. Au cours du processus d’expansion, il y a un changement dans l’état de la concentration de GPL du liquide au volatil, accompagné d’une baisse de température de plus de 40 degrés Celsius. Par conséquent, l’installation ne nécessite pas l’utilisation de dispositifs de «lubrification» pour les voitures qui peuvent avoir des problèmes avec les sièges de soupape de cuisson. Ce système peut être installé avec succès dans des moteurs qui ont mal toléré le fonctionnement du GPL administré en phase volatile. Le système DGI LCC est idéal pour les moteurs à injection directe d’essence, car il utilise des injecteurs d’essence d’origine pour injecter du gaz LPG liquéfié directement dans la chambre de combustion. L’essence ne sera pas consommée du tout lorsque le moteur tourne, car les injecteurs sont constamment refroidis par le gaz qui les traverse et il n’est pas nécessaire d’utiliser ce que l’on appelle des douches à essence, qui, d’un point de vue économique, traversent le sens de la conversion. L’utilisation d’injecteurs d’essence pour l’injection de gaz entraîne également moins d’interférences dans la zone du moteur, et l’ensemble de l’installation est pratiquement invisible sous le capot de la voiture. Le bénéficiaire final des résultats du projet sera les propriétaires de véhicules à injection directe et indirecte d’essence, qui signalent la nécessité d’un système de GPL respectueux de l’environnement pour les voitures à injection directe. Les produits fabriqués dans le cadre des travaux de R & D répondront aux besoins de leurs clients et seront en outre compétitifs. En outre, la mise en œuvre de ce projet augmentera l’emploi.
Rapid <i>T</i> <sub>1</sub> mapping of mouse myocardium with saturation recovery look-locker method

Dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI using gadolinium or manganese provides unique characterization of myocardium and its pathology. In this study, an electrocardiography (ECG) triggered saturation recovery Look-Locker method was developed and validated for fast cardiac T(1) mapping in small animal models. By sampling the initial portion of the longitudinal magnetization recovery curve, high temporal resolution (∼ 3 min) can be achieved at a high spatial resolution (195 × 390 μm2) in mouse heart without the aid of parallel imaging or echo-planar imaging. Validation studies were performed both in vitro on a phantom and in vivo on C57BL/6 mice (n = 6). Our results showed a strong agreement between T(1) measured by saturation recovery Look-Locker and by the standard saturation recovery method in vitro or inversion recovery Look-Locker in vivo. The utility of saturation recovery Look-Locker in dynamic contrast-enhanced MRI studies was demonstrated in manganese-enhanced MRI experiments in mice. Our results suggest that saturation recovery Look-Locker can provide rapid and accurate cardiac T(1) mapping for studies using small animal models.

Visualising Sea-Level Rise at a Coastal Heritage Site: Participatory Process and Creative Communication

AbstractThis paper describes a research project that aimed to translate complex spatial and scientific data about coastal change into accessible digital formats for general audiences. The project used fine-scale remote sensing techniques including airborne and terrestrial laser scanning to produce spatially accurate and realistic 3D digital visualisations of projected sea level rise at Cotehele Quay, a site on the River Tamar in Cornwall owned and managed by the National Trust. Area residents and stakeholders were involved in a series of focus groups which provided guidance on the integration of the spatial models into a short film. The paper focuses on how the participatory, iterative process adopted in the project shaped the content and design of the film. The paper concludes with a discussion of how this process enhanced the viability of the film as a communication tool for use in wider engagement activities.
Innovative microalgae feed ingredient to improve animal health for a more sustainable food chain

Problem:
Due to excessive application of antibiotics in animal feed multi-resistant bacteria stems emerge, causing thousands of human casualties each year. Globally farmers have strong financial interests to use antibiotics as a growth promoter for livestock. Kang et. al. have shown in an animal feeding trial with 600 chicken, that microalgae have the same growth promoting effect as antibiotics. But so far microalge have been too expensive for application in the animal feed industry.
Solution:
The consortium has developed a feed ingredient based on microalgae that can deliver these health promoting effects to animal feed with the same value for money for farmers as antibiotcs. The consortium has cut production costs for microalgae by over 50%. Farmers will switch to our product because they face no legal restrictions and meet consumer´s growing demand for sustainable meat.
Customers:
Customers are companies within the feed industry, who would include our product into their own recipes/products. Consumers are farmers, who face a conflict of interest between growth promotion, strict regulation of antibiotics and consumer behavior. This makes them receptive for innovative alternatives to antibiotics.
Project:
Having successfully manufactured samples in 2015, the feasibility study will lay the basis for a successful market introduction by confirming the business plan. We will accomplish an in-depth market research and a competitive analysis. As a result we will define the selling price of our product in relation to competing natural additives.
Market:
The problems of animal mass production and the incentive to use medication as a growth promoter are the same all over the world. The regulatory pressure and the demand for feed for an ever increasing global meat production is the basis for a huge market potential for our product. 
Example: If 1% of our product is added to all piglet diet which is sold in Europe, the estimated annual market size would be over EUR 600 mio.
Supporting transnational start-up ecosystems

Although EU programmes and policy makers have been encouraging the potential for cooperation between different startup ecosystems - including within the Alpe Adria region-, still no strong coordination mechanisms yet exist that would ensure a streamlining between regional, national and EU initiatives in support of innovative businesses.  
The basic TransUP concept is to tackle the challenge of making the Alpe Adria region an attractive hub for innovative entrepreneurs and investors, where the ecosystem made of actors and services devoted to support the creation and development of new businesses is really collaborative and transnational.
Technology startups in the peripheral European territories like the Alpine Adriatic usually  look to Western Europe or to the USA rather than to neighboring countries for models of change and development. 
The overall objective of the TransUP project is thus to collaboratively address a common innovation support challenge and to peer-review transnational support services and co-design an innovative and systemic Crossregional Softlanding Programme for enhancing a multicultural and international driven attitude among startups in order to improve their survival chances on the global market. 
The Crossregional Softlanding Programme is aimed at offering to startups from neighboring regions Carinthia (Austria), Friuli Venezia Giulia (Italy), Slovenia and the newly entered EU member state Croatia, the possibility to develop their company within a multicultural environment. The expected result is the activation of a comprehensive international attitude in all aspects of startup business management with positive effects from market reach to competitive strength.
Specific focus will be dedicated to startups with reference to the Alpe Adria region but the recommendations developed in the Design Option Paper will be valid for all sectors and EU geographical location.
Cultural data analytics

The broad framework of the recent EU Digital Single Market strategy has prepared the ground for many of the guidelines and future directions in cultural heritage digitisation and in the area of open data policies. In line with this new strategy, the core document for Estonian cultural policy, The General Principles of Cultural Policy up to 2020, sets out that most Estonian cultural heritage will be digitised by 2020 and the interoperability of culture-related information systems will be ensured by harmonised descriptions and web services. In connection with that, the 2020 Digital Agenda for Estonia emphasises that the public sector’s capacity to apply data analytics solutions needs to be increased significantly over the coming years and that Estonian cultural heritage should be digitally accessible and spreading through re-use. In accordance with these strategies, the CUDAN project aims to harness the existing strengths of Tallinn University in order to build a new analytical approach, called “Cultural Data Analytics”, that integrates cultural semiotics, data analytics, digital culture studies and creative industries’ studies to work with digitised cultural heritage as well as with born-digital data scraped from contemporary platforms. This aim will be accomplished by establishing the ERA Chair position and the transdisciplinary and innovative cooperation platform (Open Lab) at Tallinn University. Open Lab will cooperate with multiple external partners, both public and private, in order to collect, analyse and use digital cultural data and to develop relevant new analytic methods – all in order to better understand contemporary cultural dynamics and incorporate this understanding into public cultural service designs, and cultural and creative industries’ policymaking processes. The benefits will be that these designs and processes will become more evidence-based, agile and responsive to contemporary challenges.
Ecosystem function and diversity in amazonia

A key remaining challenge in ecology is understanding the relationship between biodiversity and ecosystem function at large spatial scales. Nowhere is this challenge more pressing than in the forests of western Amazonia, which not only harbour some of the most diverse forests on earth, but also hold a key role in global biogeochemical cycles. In E FUNDIA we seek to address this challenge with a unique and innovative approach, combining state-of-the-art airborne spectranomics with an exceptional floristic dataset across the most variable landscape in lowland Amazonia.
E FUNDIA will bring together two of the most productive research groups in this field globally: the Asner lab at the Carnegie institution for Science and the Ecology and Global Change cluster at the University of Leeds. Working with these two groups Dr Draper (the fellow) will have the opportunity to be trained at the highest possible level, extending his knowledge and technical skills in hyperspectral remote sensing and macroecology. Whilst receiving this training Dr Draper will produce world-class science and greatly enhance his career development potential. 
The output of E FUNDIA will be of broad interest to the scientific community, policy makers and the general public. We are committed to disseminating the findings of the project though high impact publications, accessible policy summaries, and presenting the work at international conferences and directly to policy makers. Furthermore, we will engage with high profile media outlets to make sure as many people as possible outside the academic sphere are able to access the research. This communication will be supported by a range of outreach activities that will encourage non-specialists (both adults and children) to actively engage with the research.
Implementation Steps for Successful Out-Licensing

OVERVIEW:In addition to acquiring external technology, many industrial firms now seek to license their technology out to external partners. These technology out-licensing activities promise important monetary and non-monetary benefits that allow firms to profit from technologies beyond their traditional business lines. Some pioneering companies achieve major benefits from active out-licensing programs. Most other firms, however, experience managerial difficulties in implementing active out-licensing strategies. This article builds on expert interviews with managers in 30 industrial firms to highlight three organizational approaches for implementing active out-licensing programs: structural organization, project organization, and participatory organization. Based on evidence from the interviews, the article presents a six-step procedure for successfully executing an active out-licensing program.
Empathy and international security

This MSCA research project ‘Empathy and International Security' (EIS) uses an interdisciplinary approach combining international relations theory, history, and political psychology to ask: How can a more nuanced understanding of empathy inform more human-centric approaches to security? Despite growing awareness of the importance of empathy in international relations, no research has yet examined the tensions inherent in the concept, or how it can be used to both alleviate and transform, or perpetuate or entrench, insecurity. EIS addresses this gap. To answer this question, I examine the multifaceted nature of empathy through four distinct case studies. I use two interconnected episodes from the Cold War (Modernization and Vietnam war) to reveal that empathy is not a novel concept, but one whose meaning and application has changed over time. I will then turn to  the case of recent refugee flows into Europe and the response to the global pandemic to analyze empathy's significance to contemporary security challenges and political leadership. Using a qualitative research methodology that draws on archival materials, discourse analysis and elite interviews, I compare and contrast these cases to demonstrate how empathy connects with ideas of power, interests, politics, security and gender as part of an original conceptual framework and typology. EIS combines the expertise at the University of Southern Denmark (SDU) and the Centre for War Studies (CWS) on human-centric approaches to international security, with my experience as a qualitative scholar on empathy in IR, and my fifteen years experience in international security policy and politics. It will combine academic research and theory development, with an applied and policy-relevant approach to make an innovative contribution to growing debates about the importance of empathy in creating more sustainable solutions to contemporary security challenges, in line with the priorities of Horizon 2020.
Essays on Gender, Intra-Household Allocation and Development

This dissertation studies gender, intra-household allocation and development. Industrialization and globalization has expanded opportunities for women in developing countries to work in manufacturing and service sector jobs often located outside their villages. The first chapter of this dissertation studies whether such job opportunities can lead to socio-economic changes for women, particularly with regard to marriage, fertility and empowerment. The second chapter examines the impact of a large public workfare program targeting rural households in India on children. In particular, we study the impact of time use by the youngest and oldest children in a household as adult time use changes in response to new work opportunities. The final chapter of this dissertation studies the impact of age of marriage on female mobility and autonomy in rural India.
VALVE FOR INTERNAL COMBUSTION ENGINE, ITS METHOD OF MANUFACTURING, AND THE HIGH-TEMPERATURE TITANIUM ALLOY FOR THE VALVE

The invention refers to mechanical engineering and can be used in piston internal combustion engines (ICE). The goal of the invention consists in increasing the reliability and lion-failure operation. of ICE valves, and increase of engine durability. 'the ICE valve has a stem off a constant diameter and a head in a disk form including a fillet portion, which ensures a smooth junction of the stern with the head. The ICE valve is made from a heat-resisting titanium alloy having (a+P) phase composition and the intermetallic a,-phase based on Ti,Al dispersed in the a-phase. The ICE valve consists of microstructures dissimilar both for the stem and head. To manufacture the valve a heat-resisting titanium alloy of which the composition (% by mass) being: (7.5-12.5) Al - (1.6-2.6) Mo - (1.4-2.4) Zr - (0. 142) Si - (0.05-0.1) Y - (the balance) Ti, is used. The method of manufacturing ICE valve is based on the use of deformation technologies and heat treatment. Deformation processing is carried out in two stages. At the first stage the stein microstructure is formed by cross and taper rolling. At the second stage deformation processing forms the valve head by forging. Before deformation processing the deformable part of the billet is heated. Preliminary heating of the deformable part of the billet is carried out under temperature control with the help of a. programmable controller.
