Indirect magnetic interactions: tuning by electric field

With silicon-based electronics nearing its limits, spintronics and quantum computing have emerged as technologies promising unprecedented amounts of computational power. One of the biggest challenges in these fields is engineering of systems allowing full control over large arrays of identical spin-centres. In this project I aim to tackle this issue by fabricating a spintronic device in which one of the crucial parameters - the magnetic coupling between individual spin centres - can be efficiently modulated. This will be achieved by synthesizing a magnetic metal-organic network on top of a graphene field-effect transistor. Here, the metal-organic network allows precise positioning of magnetic atoms into long-range-ordered lattices, and the gated graphene substrate enables precise tuning of the charge transfer from the deposited molecules via the applied gate voltage. Thus, this project simultaneously addresses practical issues in device fabrication, as well as the fundamental mechanisms of magnetic coupling. 
Such a broad goal requires a concerted effort from researchers of different backgrounds. The shared expertise of the Host Group at the Central European Institute of Technology (CEITEC) and me is optimally suited for this project: I am experienced in atomically-resolved imaging, spectroscopy, and reactivity studies of both conductive and insulating systems. The Host Group has extensive experience with molecular self-assembly and graphene devices, and the Host Institution recently developed a novel state-of-the-art apparatus for Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy, a technique exquisitely sensitive for probing weak magnetic interactions. 
Overall, this project will provide fundamental insight into the characteristics of weak magnetic interactions, for which current literature provides many conflicting predictions. The resulting device will additionally serve as an ideal platform for further spintronic applications and quantum computing studies.
Radioiodinated and astatinated NHC rhodium complexes: Synthesis

The clinical development of radioimmunotherapy with astatine-211 is limited by the lack of a stable radiolabeling method for antibody fragments. An astatinated N-heterocyclic carbene (NHC) Rhodium complex was assessed for the improvement of radiolabeling methodologies with astatine.Wet harvested astatine-211 in diisopropyl ether was used. Astatine was first reduced with cysteine then was reacted with a chlorinated Rh-NHC precursor to allow the formation of the astatinated analogue. Reaction conditions have been optimized. Astatine and iodine reactivity were also compared. Serum stability of the astatinated complex has been evaluated.Quantitative formation of astatide was observed when cysteine amounts higher than 46.2 nmol/μl of astatine solution were added. Nucleophilic substitution kinetics showed that high radiolabeling yields were obtained within 15 min at 60°C (88%) or within 5 min at 100°C (95%). Chromatographic characteristics of this new astatinated compound have been correlated with the cold iodinated analog ones. The radioiodinated complex was also synthesized from the same precursor (5 min. at 100°C, up to 85%) using [(125)I]NaI as a radiotracer. In vitro stability of the astatinated complex was controlled after 15 h incubation in human serum at 4°C and 37°C. No degradation was observed, indicating the good chemical and enzymatic stability.The astatinated complex was obtained in good yield and exhibited good chemical and enzymatic stability. These preliminary results demonstrate the interest of this new radiolabeling methodology, and further functionalizations should open new possibilities in astatine chemistry.Although there are many steps and pitfalls before clinical use for a new prosthetic group from the family of NHC complexes, this work may open a new path for astatine-211 targeting.

Modeling the european power sector evolution: low-carbon generation technologies (renewables, ccs, nuclear), the electric infrastructure and their role in the eu leadership in climate policy

The reduction of greenhouse gas emissions is a vital target for the coming decades. From a technology perspective, power
generation is the largest responsible for CO2 emissions, therefore great mitigation efforts will be required in this area. From
a policy perspective, it is common opinion that the European Union is and will remain leader in implementing clean policies.
Basing on these considerations, the power sector and the European Union will be the two key actors of this project. The
main tool adopted in this work will be WITCH, the integrated assessment model developed at Fondazione Eni Enrico Mattei
(FEEM).
The description of the power generation sector in WITCH is quite detailed, but needs to be integrated, especially as far as
the electric infrastructure downstream the power generation system is concerned. In the first half of the project, developed at
the outgoing host, the modeling of the electric sector will thus be completed and refined. In particular, four main aspects
need to be assessed: i) system integration (i.e. the issues related to the non-negligible penetration of intermittent renewables
in the grid), ii) electricity storage, iii) electrical grid, and iv) electricity trade.
In the second half of the project, developed at the return host, the improved WITCH model will be employed in scenario
assessment calculations. Firstly, the prospects in Europe of renewables, CCS and nuclear will be analysed. In particular,
attention will be focused not so much on the pure technology aspects, but rather on policy issues such as the role of
incentives in renewable diffusion, the slow CCS deployment, or the effects of the nuclear reactors ageing, or of their phaseout.
Secondly, the focus will move on assessing the role of these technologies (and the consequent evolution of the electric
infrastructure) according to different mitigation scenarios, and in particular considering different levels of global participation
in EU-led climate mitigation.
A Two-Tier Design Space Exploration Algorithm to Construct a GPU Performance Predictor

Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) have a large and complex design space that needs to be explored in order to optimize the performance of future GPUs. Statistical techniques are useful tools to help computer architects to predict performance of complex processors. In this study, these methods are utilized to build an effective performance prediction model for a Fermi GPU. The design space of this GPU is more than 8 million points. In order to build an accurate model, we propose a two-tier algorithm which builds a multiple linear regression model from a small set of simulated data. In this algorithm the Plackett and Burman design is used to find the key parameters of the GPU, and further simulations are guided by a fractional factorial design for the most important parameters. The generated performance model is able to predict the performance of any other point in the design space with an average prediction error between 1% to 5% for different benchmark applications. This accuracy is achieved by only sampling between 0.0003% to 0.0015% of the full design space.

Intranasal Inactivated Recombinant Mannheimia hemolytica Vaccine is not protective against naturally occurring Pneumonia in Nigerian Goats

Pneumonia had been a major constraint to the development of small ruminant production and its control is expedient. This experiment was conducted to evaluate the protective effect of intranasal recombinant Mannheimia hemolytica vaccine against naturally occurring pneumonia in Nigerian goats. Twenty one goats were divided into five groups. Five goats each were in vaccinated groups while three goats were in the control groups. Group A was vaccinated once; group B was vaccinated twice at one week interval, and group D at two weeks interval, while group C and E were the positive and negative control groups. All goats including the vaccinated groups were challenged two weeks after the last vaccination by comingling with goats that had pneumonia for three weeks. The clinical, bacterial isolation, virus detection, lung consolidation, gross and histopathological score were employed using standard techniques. All data were analyzed statistically using the one-way analysis of variance (ANOVA). Group C and D had the highest clinical score following challenge while deaths were observed in all with the lowest in group B. The lung consolidation score and lesions in group C and D were significantly (P 0.05). This study showed that the recombinant MH vaccine reduced the clinical manifestations especially when administered at a week interval more than once but was not sufficient to protect against naturally occurring caprine pneumonia commonly observed hence a need for modification to be effective in Nigeria.

Vre for regional interdisciplinary communities in southeast europe and the eastern mediterranean

In the last decade, a number of initiatives were crucial for enabling high-quality research - by providing e-Infrastructure resources, application support and training - in both South East Europe (SEE) and Eastern Mediterranean (EM). They helped reduce the digital divide and brain drain in Europe, by ensuring access to regional e-Infrastructures to new member states, states on path to ascension, and states in European Neighborhood Policy area  – in total 14 countries in SEE and 6 in EM. This VI-SEEM proposal brings together these e-Infrastructures to build capacity and better utilize synergies, for an improved service provision within a unified Virtual Research Environment (VRE) for the inter-disciplinary scientific user communities in the combined SEE and EM regions (SEEM).
The overall objective is to provide user-friendly integrated e-Infrastructure platform for regional cross-border Scientific Communities in Climatology, Life Sciences, and Cultural Heritage for the SEEM region; by linking compute, data, and visualization resources, as well as services, models, software and tools. This VRE will provide the scientists and researchers with the support in full lifecycle of collaborative research: accessing and sharing relevant research data, using it with provided codes and tools to carry out new experiments and simulations on large-scale e-Infrastructures, and producing new knowledge and data - which can be stored and shared in the same VRE. Climatology and Life Science communities are directly relevant for Societal Challenges.
The driving ambition of this proposal is to maintain leadership in enabling e-Infrastructure based research and innovation in the region for the 3 strategic regional user communities: supporting multidisciplinary solutions, advancing their research, and bridging the development gap with the rest of Europe. 
The VI-SEEM consortium brings together e-Infrastructure operators and Scientific Communities in a common endeavor.
DRILLING WITH CASING

A borehole may be drilled utilizing the bottom hole assembly! 0, 50 with a downhole motor 14, 110, which may offset at a selected bend angle. A bend for directional drilling may be provided by a PDM1 or by a RSD. A gauge section 36 secured to the pilot bit 18 has a uniform diameter bearing surface along an axial length of at least 60% of the pilot bit diameter. The bit or reamer 16 has a bit face defining the cutting diameter of the drilled hole. The axial spacing between the bend and the bit face is controlled to less than fifteen times the bit diameter. The downhole motor, pilot bit and bit may be retrieved from the well while leaving the casing string in the well.
Variations on the IRE pattern in a French beginner task-based classroom

The use of the Initiation–Response–Evaluation (IRE) sequence is common in education and, although classroom research does not preclude its practice in pedagogy, it recommends introducing other forms of talk into teaching. The present study, inspired by Task-Based Language Teaching research on learner language, uses Conversation Analysis to explore the variations on the IRE pattern that take place in a class of French beginners as they complete a learning task. Based on audio-recorded data collected in situ, the study uncovers two IRE subcategories and one pattern of interaction that diverges from the standard IRE pattern. These variations reflect changes in the lesson phase and show how a three-phase lesson plan focused on a specific task can move classroom participants away from the exclusive use of IRE.
Righting victim participation in transitional justice

The question of how to serve justice, facilitate peaceful transitions and empower victims of past large-scale abuses is about as old as the field of transitional justice (TJ) itself. Increasingly, academics and practitioners are turning to participatory approaches as a promising way to make advances regarding these issues. An oft-cited benefit of victim participation in TJ processes is that it allegedly increases the legitimacy of these processes by rendering them more locally relevant, and that it empowers participants.

However, little is known about how to organize this participation in practice or under which conditions alleged benefits (for individual victims-participants or for society at large) are likely to materialize. As a result, participation is often organized in an 'add-victims-and-stir' way, with little critical reflection about potential unforeseen or long-term effects.

Because TJ processes often face significant practical, financial and political constraints, it is crucial to better understand how participatory approaches can be developed in ways that contribute to a positive and lasting legacy.

The main objective of this project is therefore threefold, (1) to conduct a systematic analysis of the scope, nature, modalities and role of victim participation in transitional justice processes, (2) to study empirically and comparatively how participation shapes victims' experience and understandings of justice and their rights, and (3) to develop a critical victimology framework and establish how this framework can be used to conceptualize victim participation in ways that contribute to TJ's goal of engendering just, stable and secure societies. 

A multi-disciplinary approach, rooted in legal studies, social psychology, political science, public administration and anthropology is proposed, which allows for a multi-dimensional understanding of these issues, both in academic and in practical terms.
Advancing the state of the art of mimo: the key to the successful evolution of wireless networks

The world is experiencing an explosion in wireless broadband usage and global wireless data traffic is expected to grow at an annual rate of 78% through 2016. Multiple-input multiple-output (MIMO) technologies have been envisioned as a key to the successful deployment of next generation networks, which are challenged by many practical constraints, such as spectrum scarcity and dynamical wireless environments. The ATOM project will set an ambitious research agenda to fully exploit the potentials of MIMO technologies for revolutionizing wireless networks. Particularly the overall objective of ATOM is to accelerate the transfer and deployment of research knowledge between European countries and third-country partners in order to provide a framework of advanced MIMO solutions for realizing green, secure and high data throughput wireless communications. The novelty of this project is four-fold. Firstly the project brings together two advanced MIMO technologies, massive MIMO and cloud radio access networks (C-RAN), where a novel heterogeneous network architecture is proposed to boost network capacity by effectively exploiting the advantages of massive MIMO and C-RAN. Secondly a rigorous algorithm-theoretic framework for maximizing energy efficiency is developed for the proposed heterogeneous architecture, where energy harvesting is realized by applying the novel concept, simultaneous wireless information and power transfer (SWIPT). Thirdly dynamic physical layer conditions in wireless environments are used to develop comprehensive security solutions for implementing keyless secure transmissions as well as key establishment, which will bridge the gap between physical layer security and the conventional cryptography. Finally we will extend the existing wireless network testbed available at the consortium and carry out experimental evaluations for closing the gap between theory and practice.
Coupled wake boundary layer model of wind-farms

We present and test the coupled wake boundary layer (CWBL) model that describes the distribution of the power output in a wind-farm. The model couples the traditional, industry-standard wake model approach with a "top-down" model for the overall wind-farm boundary layer structure. This wake model captures the effect of turbine positioning, while the "top-down" portion of the model adds the interactions between the wind-turbine wakes and the atmospheric boundary layer. Each portion of the model requires specification of a parameter that is not known a-priori. For the wake model, the wake expansion coefficient is required, while the "top-down" model requires an effective spanwise turbine spacing within which the model's momentum balance is relevant. The wake expansion coefficient is obtained by matching the predicted mean velocity at the turbine from both approaches, while the effective spanwise turbine spacing depends on turbine positioning and thus can be determined from the wake model. Coupling of the constitutive components of the CWBL model is achieved by iterating these parameters until convergence is reached. We illustrate the performance of the model by applying it to both developing wind-farms including entrance effects and to fully developed (deep-array) conditions. Comparisons of the CWBL model predictions with results from a suite of large eddy simulations (LES) shows that the model closely represents the results obtained in these high-fidelity numerical simulations. A comparison with measured power degradation at the Horns Rev and Nysted wind-farms shows that the model can also be successfully applied to real wind-farms.
Functional keratin kerasol

Keratin as a key structural material has been used in cosmetics as a raw material in skin and hair care products in a generalized way since several years, marking a trend in all cosmetic manufacturers offering keratin treatment lines. The human body takes advantage of this cosmetic contribution of keratin through contact with products that Incorporate it, getting the protein to adhere to the damaged areas in order to regenerate the skin and hair. Now, although the exploitation of these keratin sources is a well-known industrial process, most of the methods of obtaining keratin from agricultural waste are based on very aggressive thermal or chemical treatments. As a result of the aggressiveness of these treatments, the protein obtained is much denatured and has lost most of the properties that make keratin a protein of industrial interest.
In this context with our project, we bring to the market a new solution, which will not only reduce the environmental impact of a waste produced in slaughterhouses, but optimize the keratin production process for cosmetics purposes too, in a sustainable, reliable and cost-effective way
Based on an exclusive patent whose rights we have acquired, we obtain a new keratin product as no one has yet achieved it. By its method of obtaining we have got a unique product in the world that preserves all the functional properties of keratin and therefore its bio availability for the human being. We obtain our product at a low cost thanks to the low energy needs in the production and to the raw material that we use at cost 0, the hair and the hooves of pigs, a residual waste of meat processing. Our processing plant will produce 1.500Kg/day of keratin KERASOL, a registered trademark of our property, which will make the difference in the cosmetic keratin market valued at €500M in 2017 an estimated to reach €600M by 2023. This will give us an annual net income of €5 million/year with a production of 386 tons/year for each plant installed.

Coupling between overall rotational diffusion and domain motions in proteins and its effect on dielectric spectra

In this work, we formulate a closed-form solution of the model of a semirigid molecule for the case of fluctuating and reorienting molecular electric dipole moment. We illustrate with numeric calculations the impact of protein domain motions on dielectric spectra using the example of the 128 kDa protein dimer of Enzyme I. We demonstrate that the most drastic effect occurs for situations when the characteristic time of protein domain dynamics is comparable to the time of overall molecular rotational diffusion. We suggest that protein domain motions could be a possible explanation for the high-frequency contribution that accompanies the major relaxation dispersion peak in the dielectric spectra of protein aqueous solutions. We propose that the presented computational methodology could be used for the simultaneous analysis of dielectric spectroscopy and nuclear magnetic resonance data.
