Medical grade sensor for continuous hydration monitoring and early detection of fluid imbalances.

Fluid disorders represent a major problem in healthcare. Especially for patients in risk of dehydration or overhydration, such
as heart and renal disease patients in hospital wards or elderly population with reduced thirst and cognitive problems.
Improper fluid management has important implications for patients, caregivers and economies: increase mortality, increase
risk of suffering co-morbidities (infections, longer hospital stays, acute kidney injuries) and increase costs (e.g. proper hydration
could lead to €1bn savings in UK per year). Current practice for fluid monitoring uses Fluid Balance Charts, which are
inaccurate, incomplete, time-consuming and cumbersome to complete. Mode Sensors developed a revolutionary solution for fluid monitoring, the Re:Balans patch sensor, a non-invasive, connected, disposable and wearable sensor for remote and continuous monitoring of body hydration. Re:Balans is built 1) with robust sensor combination to meet medical level accuracy data, and 2) to be user-friendly and fit into everyday worker and patient procedures. Re:Balans will be a game-changer in the healthcare because: 1) it has better accuracy than the best-practice method in clinical settings; 2) it is cheaper and more efficient to use than current alternatives. Re:Balans will
have a major impact by: 1) reducing unnecessary costs and casualties by preventing dehydration, such as co-morbidities,
readmission to hospital or longer hospital stays; 2) improving doctors and nurses daily activities, substituting time-consuming
measurements by automatic, remote and continuous accurate data, and 3) strengthen healthcare systems with a solution
that directly addresses the EU’s challenges of ageing population, multimorbidity and healthcare worker shortages.
In addition, Re:Balans successful development and commercialization through this project will significantly boost our growth
with accumulated revenues and profits of €107 m and €37 m, respectively, for the 5-year post project.
Thermochemical and kinetics studies of the CH3SH+S (3P) hydrogen abstraction and insertion reactions

Sulfur-containing molecules have a significant impact on atmosphere and biosphere. In this work we studied, from the point of view of electronic structure and chemical kinetics methods, the elementary reactions between a methanethiol molecule and a sulfur atom leading to hydrogen abstraction C-S bond cleavage (CH(3)SH+S; R1:→ CH(3)S+SH; R2: → CH(2)SH+SH; R3:→ CH(3)+HS(2)). The geometrical structures of the reactants, products, and saddle points for the three reaction paths were optimized using the BB1K method with the aug-cc-pV(T+d)Z basis set. The thermochemical properties were improved using single point coupled-cluster (CCSD(T)) calculations on the BB1K geometries followed by extrapolation to the complete basis set (CBS) limit. This methodology was previously applied and has given accurate values of thermochemical and kinetics properties when compared to benchmark calculations and experimental data. For each reaction, the thermal rate constants were calculated using the improved canonical variational theory (ICVT) including the zero-curvature (ICVT/ZCT) and small-curvature (ICVT/SCT) tunneling corrections. For comparison, the overall ICVT/SCT reaction rate constant at 300 K obtained with single-point CCSD(T)/CBS calculations for the CH(3)SH+S reaction is approximately 1400 times lower than the isovalent CH(3)SH+O reaction, obtained with CVT/SCT. The reaction path involving the hydrogen abstraction from the thiol group is the most important reactive path in all temperatures.
Aborto en México: estrategias discursivas en seis textos monológicos digitales de la iglesia católica, frente a los derechos de las mujeres a decidir sobre la interrupción legal de su embarazo

Con base en el esquema ideológico propuesto por Teun Van Dijk, se analizan seis textos discursivos de tipo monológico, que se oponen al aborto y que fueron publicados por el semanario católico: Desde la Fe, durante el año 2019. Se concluye que las estrategias monológicas discursivas de los seis textos analizados, han contribuido, como parte del poder del Estado Vaticano, a que se impida que las mujeres latinoamericanas decidan libremente sobre el destino de sus cuerpos, así como de su salud sexual y reproductiva. El artículo incentiva a que los poderes legislativos asuman una posición frontalmente laica en torno a la Interrupción Legal del Embarazo (ILE), por el bien de la salud y la libertad de las mujeres del mundo.
New hybrid-nanocarbon allotropes based on soluble fullerene derivatives in combination with carbon nanotubes and graphene. application in organic solar cells and biomaterials.

The overarching goal of the Hy-solFullGraph project is to undertake, from a molecular level, the synthesis of new functional hybrid materials based on carbon allotropes with outstanding properties. Synthetic carbon allotropes (SCAs) are regarded to be among the most promising candidates for future high performance materials. Precise control of the derivatisation will play a key role in tailoring their solubility and reactivity to maximise the advantages of their outstanding properties. We propose herein 1) to selectively functionalise C60 fullerenes with different substituents (hydrophobic, hydrophilic, and polyfluorinated) to tune their solubility and their superstructured assembly. 2) By controlling the addition pattern, we will include an additional functional group which will facilitate their covalent attachment to other carbon allotropes such as graphene or CNT. In this way, new Hybrid-SCAs will be synthesised for the very first time and the interactions between the hybrid allotropes will be unravelled. 3) Moreover, by changing the chemical decoration around the allotropes, we will be able to endow them with different functionality for their application in optoelectronic and biomedical fields. For optoelectronic applications, such as the development of solar cells, we propose to tune the electronic interactions and energy levels of fullerene and graphene and to control the energy transfer processes and packing behaviours between the allotropes by well-designed chemical functionalisation. Furthermore, we will use the hydrophilic fullerenes to prepare functional biomaterials by taking advantage of their electrical properties to ultimately assist nerve tissue regeneration. The project will be developed at the crossroads of organic and supramolecular chemistry, materials science, nanotechnology and physical chemistry to produce novel synthetic hybrid carbon allotropes with tailored properties towards new nanomaterials for optolectronical and biomedical applications

Delivering Nanotechnologies, advanced Materials and Production to REGional manufacturing

Nano-technologies and new materials (NMP) are a cornerstone of EU policy for innovation and advanced manufacturing. As one of the Key Enabling Technologies, the EU believes that NMP can reverse negative growth trends in manufacturing and foster growth and jobs.
The statement is clear, but the road from intent to transfer, application and exploitation of NMP in manufacturing is long.
NMP is dealt with in research. However, the common challenge is ensure that innovation actors cooperate to deliver research results to the manufacturing sector, with subsequent benefits for regional growth. 
NMP-REG groups partners from 5 regions, who want to face this challenge together. Their overall objective is to improve regional policies for delivery of innovation in NMP to manufacturing. NMP-REG focuses on policy actions that can support innovation delivery, using coordinated action from key players.
Changes are particularly expected in projects funded by policy instruments (3 ERDF ROP / 2 other key policy tools for innovation), particularly in cluster support, financing for innovation actors and other horizontal innovation delivery measures. Partners also hope to influence policy management, in terms of monitoring and evaluation criteria for innovation delivery.
NMP-REG achieves this through exchanging experiences and Good Practices in a context of interregional activities, communication and stakeholder engagement. Partners develop Action Plans that result in: improved policy instruments, more and better targeted funding, with leverage effect in mobilising private funding; new or improved models for innovation delivery thanks to cooperation across the regional innovation chain.
All regional innovation players will benefit. NMP-REG works towards a medium/long-term impact of creating a regional system that can support the manufacturing sector in applying NMP research to create new products / services; create places of work; promote a market for improved and cost efficient products.

Collaborative Business Relationships and the Use of ICT: The Case of the Marine, Defence and Resources Cluster, Western Australia

The research project was developed from an Australian Research Council Grant designed to investigate collaborative commerce and its impact on regional economic development. Through a process of consultation with the industry partner, the South West Group, the research was designed to investigate the drivers and inhibitors of collaborative relationships and the factors that impact on the creation and sustaining of these relationships. The role of Information Communication Technology (ICT) in facilitating and sustaining collaborative relationships and the perceived benefits and drawbacks of collaborative relationships were also investigated. The research sought to identify models of the best adoption of collaborative relationships.
Understanding mechanisms of membrane tension loss and recovery using small-molecule tools

Maintenance of membrane tension at the plasma membrane (PM) is an important yet understudied aspect of cellular homeostasis. Dysregulated membrane tension homeostasis has roles in cancer, neurodegeneration, and metabolic syndrome but its study has been limited by a lack of tools to measure and manipulate it. The Target of Rapamycin Complex 2 (TORC2), an important signaling hub regulating cell growth, has an unexpected role in maintaining PM tension homeostasis. A screen for TORC2-specific inhibitors identified the lipophilic molecule palmitoylcarnitine (PalmC) which induces a reversible loss in PM tension. It is currently unknown how PalmC is able to induce this tension loss, but understanding both its mode-of-action and how cells are able to recover from its effects are important for its development as a potential membrane-targeting drug. In this proposal, we aim to reveal key proteins involved in the effects of PalmC (Aim 1). We expect that a specific plasma membrane-localized transporter will mediate its uptake. Both by identifying this protein and solving its structure in a native-like lipidic environment and/or in complex with PalmC, we hope to reveal new insights into how PalmC might be tailored for therapeutic potential.  We will also investigate the recovery process post-PalmC treatment, starting from the observation that the TORC2-activating protein Slm1 co-localizes with TORC2 and forms very large clusters at sites of PalmC-induced membrane invaginations (Aim 2). Previous observations of TORC1 regulation suggest that clustering is correlated with the formation of ordered polymers. To investigate whether this is a conserved mechanism of regulation, we will attempt to isolate a Slm1-TORC2 superstructure and determine its structure using cryoEM with the expectation that structural details about the interactions between these proteins within the superstructure will reveal mechanistic insights into the regulation of TORC2, as well as membrane tension.

Integrating across ecosystem, environment and economics in provision of scientific advice to fisheries management.

Wild fish catches in European waters accounted for about 8.3 million tonnes in 2016. In 2018, the International Council for the Exploration of the Sea (ICES) provided advice on fishing opportunities for 224 stocks representing 7.7 million tonnes. Of the stocks for which stock status is known, about 40% were overfished and 35% outside safe biological limits in 2018. Mis-management costs in the North East Atlantic may be on the range of several billions. The world bank estimates point to approx. 12.5 billion dollars in Europe in 2012. Despite this situation, scientists showed that fisheries management works, although a fast changing environment due to climate change together with constant shifts in policy, largely triggered by a growing diversity in the political spectrum, require more than ever scientific advice for natural resource management to be robust, accountable and flexible. The fellowship will focus on understanding and challenging the current landscape of scientific advice products being produced or under development within the ICES, and explore methods to streamline those products into scientific advice relevant to fisheries management. The final outcome of the fellowship will propose methods to enhance the advice framework in relation to both the science developments in the EU and the need to improve the applicability of evidence based decision making. In detail the fellowship aims to: (i) explore and develop methods that integrate across ecosystem, environment and economic aspects of fisheries science (EEE), leveraging in products produced across the network of expert groups and EU funded projects; (ii) explore new advisory products and/or extend/limitations the current advice; (iii) link all products with automation and quality assurance processes. Research will be carried out in a cycle of dialogue with relevant actors (scientists, policy makers, stakeholders), simulation testing and real case applications.
Traveling wave tube based w-band wireless networks with high data rate, distribution, spectrum and energy efficiency

Never technology has penetrated so deeply and fast in society everyday life as Internet has done in the last decades and is expected to do in the future. The enormous flux of data transferred via wireless networks, increasing at exponential pace, makes today’s state of the art networks soon outdated. Large parts of the society are deprived of adequate access to Internet due to the high costs, long deployment time of optical fibres and inadequate performance of wireless networks. This inequality will most likely pertain in the next years. 
Millimetre waves are the most promising solution to support the increasing data throughput and to be a credible fibre complement for the last miles.
The TWEETHER aim is to realise the millimetre wave Point to multi Point segment to finally link fibre, and sub-6GHz distribution for a full three segment hybrid network, that is the most cost-effective architecture to reach mobile or fixed final individual client. The TWEETHER project responds to the call H2020-ICT6, to foster smart wireless network architecture for high capacity everywhere outdoor data distribution, in gigabit class, that other technologies cannot support, at low operating cost. High spectrum and energy efficient W-band (92-95GHz) technology will be developed. A powerful and compact transmission hub based on a novel traveling wave tube power amplifier with performance precluded to any other technology and an advanced chipset in a compact terminal will be realised. The TWEETHER system will be tested in a real operating environment. Integrated smart networks of backhaul for 4G and 5G small cells and of access for residential houses are the targeted market that benefits from the actual light regulation of W-band. 
A big company Thales Electron Devices, four SMEs, Bluwan, OMMIC, HFSE, Fibernova, and three top Universities, Lancaster, Goethe Frankfurt, Politecnica de Valencia, join their expertise to successfully tackle the formidable challenges of the TWEETHER project.
HYBRID CLOCKING SCHEME FOR TRANSMITTING PACKETIZED AUDIO AND POWER OVER A COMMON CONDUCTOR

A distributed amplification and packetized audio transmission system for clock synchronization and alignment between an audio/power source and endpoints with dedicated amplifiers and speakers. An Ethernet audio signal is combined with a Power-Line Communications (PLC) signal for transmission from the source to the endpoints over a common conductor. A single master clock in the source synchronizes the Ethernet audio transmitter with the PLC transmitter. Each end-point has a PLC receiver to recover the master clock for use by its Ethernet audio receiver to provide reliable clock synchronization between the source clock and the endpoint clocks. The endpoints can adjust and re-timestamp the PTP packetized clock based upon symbol and timing information from the PLC receiver.
The Effects of the Financial Crisis on the Financial Performance of Malaysian Companies

The 2007/08 financial crisis which began in the United States was not felt in Malaysia until the last quarter of 2008 where GDP stalled and then began to fall. The country has a high export to GDP ratio and in 2009 the contraction in manufacturing exports was steep. This paper investigates the effects of the crisis on the financial performance of 70 companies in the manufacturing sector over a period of 5 years from 2006 to 2010. Using factor analysis, an initial set of 21 financial ratios was reduced to just six significant ratios. Using this smaller set of representative ratios, the sample companies were cluster analyzed into 4 categories of poor, below average, above average and good financial performers. The results showed that there is a direct effect of the financial crisis on the financials of companies in the study where 46 companies categorized as good in 2006 fell to just 6 in 2010 while 7 companies in the poor category increased to 27 during the same period. Of particular concerns would be the 15 companies that fell three clusters down from good to poor performers and 15 out of 17 companies in the average categories that dropped into the poor performing category. A key finding from this study is that when a financial or economic crisis occurs, most companies’ financials would be severely and adversely impacted and if the negative economic conditions do not improve, there would be high probabilities that many companies would face liquidity and solvency issues that could eventually lead to collapse and bankruptcies. Finally, with just 6 key financial ratios, a company’s financial performance can be tracked and analyzed over a period of time resulting in the enhancement of the quality of credit evaluations as well as the minimizing of investor risks.
Polyurethane Organosilicate Nanocomposites as Blood Compatible Coatings

Polymer clay nanocomposites (NCs) show remarkable potential in the field of drug delivery due to their enhanced barrier properties. It is hypothesised that well dispersed clay particles within the polymer matrix create a tortuous pathway for diffusing therapeutic molecules, thereby resulting in more sustained release of the drug. As coatings for medical devices, these materials can simultaneously modulate drug release and improve the mechanical performance of an existing polymer system without introducing additional materials with new chemistries that can lead to regulatory concerns. In this study, polyurethane organosilicate nanocomposites (PUNCs) coated onto stainless steel wires were evaluated for their feasibility as blood compatible coatings and as drug delivery systems. Heparin was selected as the model drug to examine the impact of silicate loading and modifier chain length in modulating release. Findings revealed that better dispersion was achieved from samples with lower clay loadings and longer alkyl chains. The blood compatibility of PUNCs as assessed by thrombin generation assays showed that the addition of silicate particles did not significantly decrease the thrombin generation lag time (TGT, p = 0.659) or the peak thrombin (p = 0.999) of polyurethane (PU). PUNC coatings fabricated in this research were not cytotoxic as examined by the cell growth inhibition assay and were uniformly intact, but had slightly higher growth inhibition compared to PU possibly due to the presence of organic modifiers (OM). The addition of heparin into PUNCs prolonged the TGT, indicating that heparin was still active after the coating process. Cumulative heparin release profiles showed that the majority of heparin released was from loosely attached residues on the surface of coils. The addition of heparin further prolonged the TGT as compared to coatings without added heparin, but a slight decrease in heparin activity was observed in the NCs. This was thought to be from competitive interactions between clay-heparin that influenced the formation of the ternary complex between heparin, ATIII thrombin. In summary, the feasibility of using PUNC as drug delivery coatings was shown by the good uniformity in the coating, absence of by-products from the coating process, and the release of active molecules without significantly interfering with their activity.
