Innovative bioinspired strategies towards selective lanthanide complexation and separation: from bacterial chelators to applications.

Lanthanides (Ln) are critical raw materials and designated with a high supply risk by the European Commission. Their mining and purification have a considerable negative environmental impact and we urgently need sustainable and efficient recycling strategies for these elements. It was recently discovered that many bacteria use Ln for growth and utilize them in the active sites of enzymes. In addition, a Ln-binding protein with unprecedented affinities for Ln (Lanmodulin, LanM) has been isolated from one of these bacteria. The Ln-uptake mechanisms of these bacteria remain vastly underexplored, however, the involvement of polydentate ligands (chelators) to bind lanthanides — lanthanophores (lanthanide carriers) — has recently been established. For the first time, practical applications of chelators that were specifically designed by nature to bind, recycle and separate the technologically-indispensable lanthanides are in reach. Thus, the objective of LANTHANOPHOR is the identification and isolation of lanthanophores from the spent media of lanthanide-utilizing bacteria and the synthesis of short peptides based on the Ln-binding moiety in LanM. A comprehensive characterization of the lanthanophore including their lanthanide coordination chemistry, will contribute to our understanding how Ln are made bioavailable inside bacterial cells. The lanthanophore and the peptides will be evaluated for the use in Ln separation and recycling. I will further elucidate whether these ligands can be used in lanthanide bioremediation or for medical applications as chelators. The results of LANTHANOPHOR will advance the development of sustainable solutions and bioinspired applications that are urgently needed in the quest for new, environmentally friendly and faster Ln separation and recycling technologies. The unique combination of lanthanide biochemistry and coordination chemistry in my group opens unparalleled opportunities for discovery and characterisation of lanthanophores.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR GRAVEL PACKING A WELLBORE

A downhole tool includes a housing having a screen. An inner tubular member is positioned radially-inward from the housing such that an annulus is formed therebetween, and a first opening is formed radially-through the inner tubular member. A valve is positioned within the annulus. A flow control device is positioned within the annulus. A degradable member is configured to at least partially degrade in response to contact with a fluid. The valve is configured to actuate from a first position to a second position in response to the degradable member at least partially degrading. This changes a proportion of the fluid that flows through the flow control device after entering through the screen.
Estimates of the incidence of hematological neoplasms in Spain, 2021: Study of the Spanish Network of Cancer Registries (REDECAN)

Isolated injury to the axillary nerve associated with the patient’s surgical position is a very rare complication, and in most cases it is associated with the prone during spinal surgery. The presentation of this pathology in relation to surgeries of another nature is exceptional, with only a few cases in the scientific literature.We present the case of a patient who developed symptoms of isolated left axillary nerve palsy after undergoing lipoabdominoplasty and breast reduction, in which the prone and supine positions were alternated. The use of an infiltration solution with lidocaine and epinephrine could have contributed to the appearance of the lesion in this unique case. Finally, the clinical picture was fully resolved thanks to conservative treatment.La lesión aislada del nervio axilar asociada a la posición quirúrgica del paciente es una complicación muy poco frecuente, y en la mayoría de los casos está asociada al prono durante una cirugía de columna. La presentación de esta patología en relación con cirugías de otra índole es excepcional, solo existiendo unos pocos casos en la literatura científica.Presentamos el caso de una paciente que desarrolló clínica de parálisis aislada del nervio axilar izquierdo tras someterse a una lipoabdominoplastia y reducción mamaria, en la que se alternaron la posición en prono y en supino. La utilización de una solución de infiltración con lidocaína y adrenalina pudo contribuir a la aparición de la lesión en este caso único. Finalmente, el cuadro clínico se resolvió en su totalidad gracias al tratamiento conservador.
Dynamic Provisioning Modeling for Virtualized Multi-tier Applications in Cloud Data Center

Dynamic provisioning is a useful technique for handling the virtualized multi-tier applications in cloud environment. Understanding the performance of virtualized multi-tier applications is crucial for efficient cloud infrastructure management. In this paper, we present a novel dynamic provisioning technique for a cluster-based virtualized multi-tier application that employ a flexible hybrid queueing model to determine the number of virtual machines at each tier in a virtualized application. We present a cloud data center based on virtual machine to optimize resources provisioning. Using simulation experiments of three-tier application, we adopt an optimization model to minimize the total number of virtual machines while satisfying the customer average response time constraint and the request arrival rate constraint. Our experiments show that cloud data center resources can be allocated accurately with these techniques, and the extra cost can be effectively reduced.
Learning techniques in Extended Hierarchical Censored Production Rules (EHCPRs) System

EHCPRs system is an intelligent system for knowledge representation and reasoning with all the possible learning methods incorporated in it. In such a system an EHCPR is used as a unit of knowledge for representing any concept independent of its application domain. There are a number of EHCPRs at various levels of hierarchy connected to each other via a number of operators, hence resulting in a knowledge structure of hierarchical network of EHCPRs. This EHCPRs network has the capability of continuous expansion through new added EHCPRs at proper place of the hierarchy as well as these already acquired EHCPRs are subject to continuous refinement with time. The EHCPRs tree in the network will become stronger in terms of strength of implication and richer in knowledge with time. This paper discusses different learning schemes possible for enhancing the knowledge base and the database of the EHCPRs system. The EHCPRs System is made to learn so that it is able to serve the multilingual global community. The online EHCPRs system will open all new avenues of learning methods in the system.
CUTTING TOOL INTEGRATED IN A DRILLSTRING

The present invention discloses a cutting tool integrated in a drillstring for enlarging a borehole, where the cutting tool at least comprises: one or more side mills (12, 13, 14) arranged along the axis of said drillstring in a reamer housing (11), where the side mills (12, 13,14) are adapted to be rotated relative to the tool housing (11) by individual driving means. The self driven rotational side mills may be dome shaped cones where expand radially out of the reamer housing (11), or may be a special non-circular dome shaped cones where rotates without expanding.
Erratum: Corrigendum: Differential gene retention as an evolutionary mechanism to generate biodiversity and adaptation in yeasts

The evolutionary history of the characters underlying the adaptation of microorganisms to food and biotechnological uses is poorly understood. We undertook comparative genomics to investigate evolutionary relationships of the dairy yeast Geotrichum candidum within Saccharomycotina. Surprisingly, a remarkable proportion of genes showed discordant phylogenies, clustering with the filamentous fungus subphylum (Pezizomycotina), rather than the yeast subphylum (Saccharomycotina), of the Ascomycota. These genes appear not to be the result of Horizontal Gene Transfer (HGT), but to have been specifically retained by G. candidum after the filamentous fungi–yeasts split concomitant with the yeasts’ genome contraction. We refer to these genes as SRAGs (Specifically Retained Ancestral Genes), having been lost by all or nearly all other yeasts, and thus contributing to the phenotypic specificity of lineages. SRAG functions include lipases consistent with a role in cheese making and novel endoglucanases associated with degradation of plant material. Similar gene retention was observed in three other distantly related yeasts representative of this ecologically diverse subphylum. The phenomenon thus appears to be widespread in the Saccharomycotina and argues that, alongside neo-functionalization following gene duplication and HGT, specific gene retention must be recognized as an important mechanism for generation of biodiversity and adaptation in yeasts.
Management of Women With BRCA Mutations

Ms E, a 41-year-old BRCA1 mutation carrier, was diagnosed 4 years ago as having breast cancer and opted for breast-conserving therapy. Prior to receiving chemotherapy, she harvested her eggs through in vitro fertilization and subsequently used preimplantation genetic diagnosis; 3 months ago she delivered a healthy boy. This review examines the prevalence of BRCA mutations in women with breast cancer, as well as current recommendations for surgery and systemic therapy in these women. In particular, the risk of a contralateral breast cancer is reviewed to help guide the choice of prophylactic mastectomies vs breast-conserving therapy. The technology of preimplantation genetic diagnosis and genetic testing in relatives of mutation carriers is discussed.

A Preliminary Study on the Preparation of Activated Carbon from <i>Cyrtosperma</i> c<i>hamissonis</i> Petioles via Single Step H<sub>3</sub>PO<sub>4</sub> Activation

In this study, highly porous activated carbon was prepared from Cyrtosperma chamissonis petioles via single step H 3 PO 4 activation. The effect of impregnation temperature (RT – 90 °C) on the yield, porosity and surface area was investigated. The synthesized activated carbons were characterized by Na 2 S 2 O 3 volumetric method, SEM/EDX and N 2 adsorption-desorption analyses. The optimization investigation clearly showed that the impregnation temperature affected on the yield and the specific surface area of the materials. Under the optimum impregnation temperature of 75 °C, the registered iodine number and BET surface area were 1129.23 mgg -1 and 1390.41 m 2 g -1 respectively with yield percentage of 35.82. This preliminary study proves the successful conversion of plant waste into value added porous materials.
A Digital Shadow cloud-based application to enhance quality control in manufacturing

Abstract In Industry 4.0 era, rapid changes to the global landscape of manufacturing are transforming industrial plants in increasingly more complex digital systems. One of the most impactful innovations generated in this context is the “Digital Twin”, a digital copy of a physical asset, which is used to perform simulations, health predictions and life cycle management through the use of a synchronized data flow in the manufacturing plant. In this paper, an innovative approach is proposed in order to contribute to the current collection of applications of Digital Twin in manufacturing: a Digital Shadow cloud-based application to enhance quality control in the manufacturing process. In particular, the proposal comprises a Digital Shadow updated on high performance computing cloud infrastructure in order to recompute the performance prediction adopting a variation of the computer-aided engineering model shaped like the actual manufactured part. Thus, this methodology could make possible the qualification of even not compliant parts, and so shift the focus from the compliance to tolerance requirements to the compliance to usage requirements. The process is demonstrated adopting two examples: the structural assessment of the geometry of a shaft and the one of a simplified turbine blade. Moreover, the paper presents a discussion about the implications of the use of such a technology in the manufacturing context in terms of real-time implementation in a manufacturing line and lifecycle management.
Democratic Accountability and the Relative Obstacles to Foreign Investment

This paper considers the relationship between democratic accountability in de- veloping countries and the policies they use to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). We isolate two policy areas that governments of developing countries use to attract FDI: the tax burden on firms and the regulatory standards within which they operate. Countries that maintain high business taxes can only attract FDI by offering a less regulated business environment, which may have associated po- litical costs. The extent to which democratic accountability constrains leaders in their tax/regulatory policy choices is our main line of analysis. The novelty of the paper is that it endogenously determines policy choices within a political economy framework that recognizes the trade-offs between attracting FDI and maintaining political control. Examination of firm-level survey data from foreign firms operating in eastern Europe and central Asian economies confirms our model's main conclusion: regulation is seen to be a relatively larger obstacle to doing business in countries with greater democratic accountability.
Majorana fermions in topological insulator platforms

Majorana fermions were recently discovered in topological superconductors as exotic quasiparticles having the curious property of being their own antiparticles. They are not only interesting as novel relativistic quasiparticles, but are also useful for realizing fault-tolerant quantum computers. However, currently available platforms to materialize Majorana fermions are limited, and the existing platforms have respective drawbacks for actually building qubits for a scalable quantum computer. Also, various unusual properties are predicted for Majorana fermions, but few have been experimentally addressed. To make a leap in the Majorana-fermion research which is technically highly demanding, one needs to grow state-of-the-art materials and tightly combine them with mesoscopic device research. By performing such an integrated research efforts in the same laboratory, this project aims to explore new platforms for Majorana qubits and to establish new methodologies to address peculiar physics of Majorana fermions. As new platforms, we pursue (i) three-dimensional topological-insulator nanoribbons and (ii) ferromagnetic topological-insulator thin films, both of which will be proximity-coupled to an s-wave superconductor. Each of them allows for conceiving Majorana qubits based on different principles, which will be tested in this project. Also, by developing new methodologies, we will elucidate (i) non-Abelian statistics probed by interferometry and (ii) quantized/universal heat transport phenomena probed by thermal conductance. These works will be complemented by materials growth efforts involving molecular beam epitaxy and detailed characterizations of the local electronic states using scanning tunnelling spectroscopy. If successful, this project will not only contribute to the realization of scalable quantum computers, but also elucidate the non-Abelian statistics, which is a fundamentally new property of particles and is ground breaking in physics.
The Systematic Drawback of China's Income Distribution Reform and its Remedy

China's income distribution is an intricate issue,the various causes and manifestations of income gaps are not only the result of corresponding policies,regulations and measures,but also the consequence of theoretical concepts.However,in the discussions of the reform,there exist a problem of systematic deficiency in three aspects.Firstly,in the relations between theory and policy,theory appears to be defected;Secondly,in the process of reform,there has not been comprehensive understanding and insufficient recognition of the positive role of distribution mechanism of the current system;Thirdly,in the patterns of income,there is an indifference for the relations between the income gaps in various forms.Therefore,it is necessary to carry on a scientific summary and analysis of the current distribution system,to attach great importance to support of theoretical innovations,and to emphasize the combination between incremental reform and stock reform in the process of China's income distribution reform.
SHAPE ROUGHNESS MEASUREMENT IN OPTICAL METROLOGY

A simulated diffraction signal to be used in measuring shape roughness of a structure formed on a wafer using optical metrology is generated by defining an initial model of the structure. A statistical function of shape roughness is defined. A statistical perturbation is derived based on the statistical function and superimposed on the initial model of the structure to define a modified model of the structure. A simulated diffraction signal is generated based on the modified model of the structure.
Socio-health with personal mental health records: Suicidal-tendency observation system on Facebook for Taiwanese adolescents and young adults

Beginning in 2009 the second-leading cause of death for Taiwanese aged 15 to 24 has been suicide, accounting for 12.4% of deaths that year in this group and rising in the years since. The Taiwan Suicide Prevention Center (TSPC) provides a modest mental survey (MMS), also called the “feeling thermometer”, for evaluating individual psychological condition. The MMS has determined suicidal tendency with at least 85% precision. It has been observed that the most effective method for getting youth to take the MMS is to include it casually in various popular activities. In collaboration with the TSPC, the research team developed a suicidal-tendency observation system on some popular social web sites such as Facebook. Taiwan's youth can simply participate in the MMS, and the results, with required personal information, are stored in the personal mental health records in the Clinical Document Architecture (CDA) standard international format. The service went online at the end of 2010. The TSPC can initiate contact with members of the high-risk group immediately via the system's alerts. In addition, youth can be made self-aware through the MMS and so visit mental health physicians to obtain effective guidance.
Alliance for the Development of the South-Alpine Space

The developement of the southern alpine area had a slow progress in the last years. Meanwhile the human potential is missing. There are two different factors, which are decisive when people choose their place to live: Hard facts and emotional incitements like family, friends, landscape and values lived in place. The project encompasses both, emotional incitements and hard facts. Content of the project is to bring the peripher areas of Carinthia, Tyrol and South Tirol, including the cities of Spittal, Hermagor, Lienz and Bruneck, together to a common platform/brand/presence. The project is the strategic and organisational startingpoint to enhance the status of the southern alpine area and to align it in a future oriented manner. The project traces the following strategic approaches: 
- A clear positioning and communication of the area as a livable contrastpoint to the agglomerations of Bozen, Innsbruck and Klagenfurt.
- Development of at least 3 topics, which will be traced along the axis of Spittal/Hermagor – Lienz – Bruneck. The idea is to follow and present topics like higher education, mobility and value added chains. 
- Work together on the topic of stay & come (keyword: human potential). The spatial focus will be set on the axis of Spittal/Hermagor – Lienz – Bruneck.

This is the axis with the strongest connections regarding traffic and several other functions.
Innovation dynamics of the state basic sanitation companies

ABSTRACT Despite the few empirical research, innovation in the Brazilian Basic Sanitation sector is an increasingly debated topic, Therefore, this study aimed to explore the structures and activities of Brazilian basic sanitation companies in research, development, and innovation (RDI). To achieve this the research conducted an empirical study of the state companies of basic sanitation, hereafter called CESBs, through a survey based on Innovation Research (Pintec) and secondary data. The survey examines the following aspects: introduction of product, process, organizational and marketing innovation; types of innovative activities developed; funding for RDI; cooperation for RDI; intellectual property; impacts of innovations; organizational structure for innovation management; innovation management system; and barriers to innovation management. The results indicate that the CESBs have structures and develop actions in RDI; however, these activities are not strategic for the companies analyzed.
Experimental investigation on the cracking behavior of 3D printed kinked fissure

Uniaxial compression tests were carried out for 3D printed samples having various types of kinked fissures by using the rock mechanics servo-controlled testing system. Photo-elastic technique is adopted to characterize and visualize the stress distribution and evolution of 3D printed models subjected to vertical compression. The stress field in the loading process can clearly be captured via a high-speed camera. The results showed that fringes around the kinked fissure tips formed a central symmetrical interference fringe pattern, and failure firstly occurred at interference fringe of highest order. Two failure types i.e. tip-cracking and non-tip-cracking are categorized on the basis of crack propagation pattern of 3D printed samples. Tensile crack propagation of wing cracks is the main form of failure of the antisymmetric kinked fissures, but the inclination of the branch fissures also played a key role on the location of initial fracture. The finite element method was applied to numerically simulate the process of crack propagation. The isochromatic fringe patterns are in good agreement with the experimental investigation. The current work gives an insight for implication of advanced technique to quantify and visualize the distribution of stress field, and provides further understanding of kinked fissure behavior at failure.
