Linking singularity theory and representation theory with homological methods

In algebraic geometry one tries to understand and explain geometric phenomena of zerosets of polynomial equations (algebraic varieties) with algebraic techniques. Singularities of algebraic varieties are, roughly speaking, points of indeterminacy, where most analytical methods collapse. Geometrically, this corresponds e.g. to cusps or crossing points. In a practical example, the arm of a robot can break if it passes through a singular point, which could result in a complete breakdown of the system. Such a situation should be avoided by theoretical considerations.

This project lies at the intersection of singularity theory, (non-commutative) algebraic geometry, commutative algebra, and representation theory. The main goal is to develop homological methods to understand geometric phenomena of algebraic varieties in the presence of singularities and use them to study representation theoretic concepts such as cluster categories and friezes. The project will provide a bridge between these seemingly distant areas that can be exploited in both directions.

The specific research objectives: 
(1) Construction of noncommutative (crepant) resolutions of singularities (NC(C)Rs), in particular for not necessarily normal varieties/rings: computation of global dimension, application to positive characteristic (global dimension of ring of differential operators)
(2) McKay correspondence for reflection groups: study of the geometry of discriminants of pseudo-reflection groups and their  relation to the representation theory of the groups, characterization of McKay quivers
(3) Friezes and singularities: show how (higher) integral friezes can be constructed from cluster categories and categories of maximal Cohen-Macaulay modules

The project will be carried out by Eleonore Faber, supervised by Robert Marsh at the University of Leeds. Apart from the scientific value, this project should serve to integrate Faber in the algebra research group and to establish her as a research leader.
Nanostructured oxide and silicide materials for thermoelectric device applications

The impacts of energy and financial crisis along with climate change have generated the necessity of cheap sustainable green energy. Against this background EU set targets for reducing greenhouse gas emissions, increasing the share of renewables in final energy consumption and increase in energy efficiency for the next years. Upgrading the otherwise lost waste heat, which is estimated to be over 60% of the globally released energy, to electrical energy is a promising strategy for sustainable energy. The use of thermoelectric devices which convert directly the waste heat to electrical energy, is a desirable technology for future power generation. Despite the big effort of the last years their conversion  efficiency is quite low and the thermoelectric materials that are currently used are based on Tellurium, which is very rare on the earth surface. In this proposal we suggest the use thermoelectric materials based on Silicides and Oxides, which are abundant on the earth surface and relatively cheap. The aim is the optimization of synthesis and processing conditions using the state of the art panoscopic approach in combination, for first time, with tunable porosity which is expected to further enhance their efficiency. The fabricated nanostructured bulk thermoelectric materials will be characterized with several experimental techniques and studied through theoretical calculations. Technical improvement of some techniques will be performed for better characterization of the fabricated materials.  This proposal also involves applied research in the form of construction and characterization of a prototype thermoelectric device using the fabricated materials.
Optimal lightning protection system

EU has set the goal that 20% of our energy should come from renewable sources by 2020. The impact of lightning strikes on wind turbines has long been an issue for the industry. Already in the technical report from IEC published in 1998 (IEC TR 61400-24) blade damages was contributing with the highest repair cost, and the longest outage time. This tendency has continued the last decade, where the blade lengths have increased from 20-30m to blade lengths of 60-80m. Specifically, lightning-related failures and consequent maintenance and repair activities is the primary cost in operating wind turbines, for instance a lightning strike offshore can cost up to €1.5 million when accounting for the expenses related to crane vessel, offshore repair operations and loss in energy production.
Currently, all OEMs implement lightning protection systems (LPSs) in their blades. However, laboratory experiments and field experience often find these protection systems inefficient. This has drastic economic consequences for wind farms owners/operators. 
The Opti-LPS project mitigates this problem by developing an innovative new blade agnostic LPS product, increasing the protection efficiency (interception and lightning current conduction), lowering the costs of the LPS system, and greatly simplifying the installations and logistics compared to recent solutions seen at many manufacturers. The consequence is a lowering of initial costs and servicing that ultimately increases the economic feasibility of wind turbines.
The innovation project will bring the Opti-LPS closer to market by design optimisation, work flow optimisation and demonstrations using prototypes.
The feasibility study comprises of: a market study, feasibility of technical and economic factors and development of a business plan.
DICTADURA, PODER ESTATAL Y GRANDES PROYECTOS EN REGIONES MARGINALES. LA AMAZONIA BRASILEÑA Y LA PATAGONIA ARGENTINA DURANTE LA DÉCADA DE 1960 Y 1970

En América Latina, las décadas de 1960 y 1970 estuvieron atravesadas por regímenes dictatoriales que procuraban evitar el cuestionamiento de la dominación mediante el control social, en alianza con los intereses nacionales y transnacionales en pos de la expansión del capitalismo. Tanto en Brasil a partir de 1964 como en Argentina desde 1966, los gobiernos militares procuraron visibilizar el poder a través de grandes proyectos ubicados fundamentalmente en áreas consideradas marginales. En la Amazonia brasileña como en la Patagonia argentina, los megaproyectos formaron parte de un constructo ideológico destinado a resignificar esos espacios como parte de una política de crecimiento económico. El discurso oficial basado en la premisa del progreso, la grandeza y el desarrollo nacional se orientó a legitimar a la dictadura y acrecentar el consenso social. Este artículo se realiza sobre la base de fuentes primarias, fundamentalmente discursos presidenciales, artículos de revista y documentación oficial de organismos nacionales e internacionales.
SCREEN PANEL LOCKING SYSTEM

A screening apparatus includes elongate beams and screen panels mounted to the beams to form a broad screening surface. Each of the panels are mounted so that side edges of adjacent panels are in facing relationship. Each panel is mounted to a pair of beams to bridge between two adjacent beams. The panels are mounted to the beams by fixing members. The fixing members have a pair of upstanding rails that are spaced apart to define a longitudinal gap between them. The panels are mounted to the beams by cooperation between the side edges with a rail of a fixing member. Cover strips extend along the beams and include a cover portion and a locking portion. The cover portion bears against an upper surface of a pair of adjacent panels and the locking portion bears against facing surfaces of the rails to resist movement of the rails towards each other.
Uso eficiente y sustentable del agua

Water is not a natural resource more, is a vital resource that can fully explain the cycles of nature and the interactions between species and the environment they live under water cycle. But water resists man, so its use requires rational actions that should serve the welfare of society, in order to achieve what today is called quality of life in a healthy environment. To do this, water requires that the Water Policy determines the purposes; that the Water Plannins is reflected in Planning Plans, Stages and Programs; That the Water Legislation provide an appropriate regulatory framework, that the Water Administration take Policy into practice and that the Management is the central place that is linked to water use efficiency.
BRIDGE TYPE SENSOR WITH TUNABLE CHARACTERISTIC

A bridge type magnetic sensor is disclosed having four resistive elements in a bridge arrangement, two of the resistive elements on opposing sides of the bridge having a magnetoresistive characteristic such that their resistance increases with increasing positive magnetic field and with increasing negative magnetic field. A frequency doubling is obtained because the output characteristic of the magnetic sensor is a V-shaped curve, where the signal rises for increasing positive and negative fields.

Tilt rotor heat exchanger

The overall objective of the project is to design, develop; manufacture and flight qualify a novel heat exchanger for oil cooling in the transmission system of a civil Tilt Rotor aircraft.  The proposed solution will outperform a conventional plate-fin heat exchanger in terms of efficiency, volume, weight, robustness, reliability and will fully integrate into the transmission systems architecture. 

The concept underpinning this project is to build upon Marston Aerospace’s long history of innovation within heat transfer and fluids management systems by forming an integrated project team.  The team will consist of thermal modellers, mechanical design, manufacturing, experimentalists and R&D experts in order to propose three initial air cooled oil cooler designs based on different manufacturing technologies.  These will be conventional plate and fin corrugated heat exchanger; chemically etched plate and pin and an additive layer manufacturing solution utilising a novel architecture.  An assumption would be that the material which would be most appropriate, in terms of technology readiness and for each proposed manufacturing process the suitability would be aluminium and that the new designs will be directly compared to each other in order to select the most viable design to take forward through to prototype manufacture towards flight demonstration testing.
Smart bi-directional multi energy gateway

Flexibility needs to be added to Europe’s power system to accommodate an increasing share of variable power generation from renewable sources. Indeed, service quality issues start to arise on the grid when this share in electricity consumption reaches 10%. To meet the EU’s targets for reduction of greenhouse gas emissions this share should rise to 30% by 2030 and up to 50% by 2050. The cost of this transition and the necessary measures to guarantee stable and continuous supply are a major political concern. The SABINA project responds to it by targeting the cheapest possible source of flexibility: the existing thermal inertia in buildings and the coupling between heat and electricity networks it enables.
This coupling requires accurately estimating the thermal inertia of many buildings. SABINA’s partner the University of Navarra has created a breakthrough, automatic method for this estimation, which shall be scaled up, validated and integrated in a complete management system through this project. This system will operate on two complementary time horizons:
• One day: aggregation and management at the district level of the electric and thermal flexibilities, and conversion and storage of the excess electrical energy to thermal energy in the freely available building inertia.
• Seconds to minutes: local control of inverters feeding renewable electricity to the grid, with optimal parameters automatically determined at the district level.
Research partners will develop novel control and optimization algorithms, and integrate and evaluate the system in lab and operational settings. The SABINA solution is compatible with both new and existing buildings; it is planned to be deployed within five years of the end of the project. Lead users are present in the consortium: Telvent and SMS plc, the coordinator, for the architecture, and Insero for the business model it enables; compliance and contribution to relevant standards will be ensured by the European Digital SME Alliance
Information Retrieval in Telemedicine: a Comparative Study on Bibliographic Databases

The first step in each systematic review is selection of the most valid database that can provide the highest number of relevant references. This study was carried out to determine the most suitable database for information retrieval in telemedicine field.Cinhal, PubMed, Web of Science and Scopus databases were searched for telemedicine matched with Education, cost benefit and patient satisfaction. After analysis of the obtained results, the accuracy coefficient, sensitivity, uniqueness and overlap of databases were calculated.The studied databases differed in the number of retrieved articles. PubMed was identified as the most suitable database for retrieving information on the selected topics with the accuracy and sensitivity ratios of 50.7% and 61.4% respectively. The uniqueness percent of retrieved articles ranged from 38% for Pubmed to 3.0% for Cinhal. The highest overlap rate (18.6%) was found between PubMed and Web of Science. Less than 1% of articles have been indexed in all searched databases.PubMed is suggested as the most suitable database for starting search in telemedicine and after PubMed, Scopus and Web of Science can retrieve about 90% of the relevant articles.
Non-Standard Employment in the BRICS Countries

Non-standardization of employment has become the main trend of the labour markets in the globalized economy. Attempting to enhance the flexibility of employment relations the legislators in BRICS countries are also the part of this trend. The forms of the nonstandard employment are numerous, the present paper concentrates upon the following ones: temporary employment, part-time and multi-party employment relationship. The authors review the experience of four BRICS countries in regulating non-standard forms of employment and determine what were the specific reasons for adopting them in Russia, China, Brazil, and South Africa. The national parts are introduced by the consideration of the international standards of protection of employees working under non-standard contracts. It is argued that even though these four states did not ratify the ILO Convention No. 181 Private Employment Agencies Convention (1997) and only Russia ratified ILO Part-Time Work Convention (No. 175), the ILO approach has influenced the development of national regulations. Though the equal treatment of all workers is lacking in many aspects of employment relations. In the national parts the authors trace the changes in employment law which reflect the pursuit of flexibilization of the labour market and, as in Brazil, the need to formalize employment relations.
Mass Spectrometry Imaging: A Review of Emerging Advancements and Future Insights

Mass spectrometry imaging (MSI) is a powerful tool that enables untargeted investigations into the spatial distribution of molecular species in a variety of samples. It has the capability to image thousands of molecules, such as metabolites, lipids, peptides, proteins, and glycans, in a single experiment without labeling. The combination of information gained from mass spectrometry (MS) and visualization of spatial distributions in thin sample sections makes this a valuable chemical analysis tool useful for biological specimen characterization. After minimal but careful sample preparation, the general setup of an MSI experiment involves defining an (x, y) grid over the surface of the sample, with the grid area chosen by the user. The mass spectrometer then ionizes the molecules on the surface of the sample and collects a mass spectrum at each pixel on the section, with the resulting spatial resolution defined by the pixel size. After collecting the spectra, computational software can be used to select an ...
Performance differences and gender in Kiswahili creative writing: a case study of selected secondary schools in Nyamira County, Kenya

This study investigated comparative differences in performance among boys and girls in Kiswahili creative writing in selected secondary sc hools in Kenya . The study was carried out in Nyamira County in Kenya located at a GPS of 0.5210° S, 34.9140° E. Simple random sampling, cluster and systematic sampling techniques were use d to select the students. Ten secondary schools were used in the study and the sample comprised 180 students (on an equal distribution of boys and girls,). The research instrument was a Kiswahili creative writing task. The form 4 students were required to perform a task which invo lved writing an essay in Kiswahili. To reveal the sex differences in Kiswahili creative wr iting, the two-tailed t-test was used. The sex differences were considered significant if they wer e more than the critical value (t-critical: 2.576) at p<.01 based on 178 degrees of freedom. The study revealed that girls outperform boys in overall performance in Kiswahili creative writing, style and spelling conventions whereas the two sexes remained at par in content presentation, vocabulary use and use of grammatical elements in Kiswahili creative writing. In light of the above findings, the researcher generally recommends that students should be provided with remedial teaching to improve their performance in Kiswahili creative writing and a sex unit be established in the department of languages to monitor the progress of boys and girls among other many recommendations.
Noisy electromagnetic fields - a technological platform for chip-to-chip communication in the 21st century

Wireless Chip-to-Chip (C2C) communication and wireless links between printed circuit boards operating as Multiple Input Multiple Output devices need to become dominant features of future generations of integrated circuits and chip architectures. They will be able to overcome the information bottleneck due to wired connections and will lead the semiconductor industry into a new More-Than-Moore era. Designing the architecture of these wireless C2C networks is, however, impossible today based on standard engineering design tools. Efficient modelling strategies for describing noisy electromagnetic fields in complex environments are necessary for developing these new chip architectures and wireless interconnectors. Device modelling and chip optimization procedures need to be based on the underlying physics for determining the electromagnetic fields, the noise models and complex interference pattern. In addition, they need to take into account input signals of modern communication systems being modulated, coded, noisy and eventually disturbed by other signals and thus extremely complex. 
Recent advances both in electrical engineering and mathematical physics make it possible to deliver the breakthroughs necessary to enable this future emerging wireless C2C technology by creating a revolutionary electromagnetic field simulation toolbox. Increasingly sophisticated physical models of wireless interconnects and associated signal processing strategies and new insight into wave modelling in complex environments based on dynamical systems theory and random matrix theory make it possible to envisage wireless communication on a chip level. This opens up completely new pathways for chip design, for carrier frequency ranges as well as for energy efficiency and miniaturisation, which will shape the electronic consumer market in the 21st century.
Iron Age and Middle Saxon Settlements at West Fen Road, Ely, Cambridgeshire: The Consortium Site

The Iron Age and Middle Saxon sites are described and discussed in detail. Both sites consisted mainly of ditched enclosures with sparser numbers of pits and other features. They yielded significant artefactual assemblages and palaeo-environmental and economic material, including some waterlogged and mineralised plant remains for the Middle Saxon period. Comparisons between the periods show a greater emphasis on sheep rearing in the Middle Saxon period than in the Iron Age, and a more varied diet for the inhabitants, including fish and hedgerow fruits. Both periods of occupation are in many respects typical of broader trends. The Iron Age enclosures formed part of an extensive permanent occupation of the Isle of Ely from 400-300 BC, with reorganisation in the 1st century AD. The beginning of Middle Saxon settlement around AD 700 and its contraction around AD 850 can be attributed to the wider fortunes of the monastic centre on the island.
FLOW DEVICE AND A METHOD FOR GUIDING A FLUID FLOW

The invention relates to a flow device (50) comprising a first line system (60) through which a first fluid flow (100) is conducted, said first line system (60) having a guide tube (21) and at least one guide means (20, 22) that influences a flow direction of said fluid flow (100) such that, between an inflow region (61b) and an outflow region (62b) of said first line system (60), the fluid flow (100) circulates in a radially circumferential manner around an in and/or outflow axis (102, 103), in a circulating-flow region (105) at a circumferential angle UW. The invention also relates to a method for conducting a fluid flow (10), which comprises an inflow and an outflow section (12, 13) that have a substantially parallel, preferably coaxial, in and outflow axis (14, 15). It is suggested that the fluid flow (10) is deflected by at least one guide means (20) arranged between the inflow section (12) and outflow section (13), in a circulating-flow section (17) and at a circumferential angle UW, so as to radially circulate around said in and outflow axes (14, 15), this circumferential angle UW being greater than 0°.
