Spatio-Temporal analysis of ritual and ancient greek experience of sacred spaces

The experience of religious ritual played a key role in ancient societies, as it negotiated ideas of cosmology and identity. By addressing the cosmos, participation in rituals forged ideas of belonging, which increased social cohesion and negotiated power permeating all aspects of society. Despite its importance, ancient Greek ritual experience has only been studied from static temporal and spatial viewpoints. Religious processions, open-air ritual re-enactments and performances operated in three-dimensional spaces, linked to the movement of the participants and affected by the play of light, shadows and celestial bodies visible at the time when they were held. These elements were instrumental in shaping the experience and memories of the attendants, influencing the society as a whole. STAR-AGESS will provide a new approach to the study of ancient Greek ritual practice by recreating immersive environments that incorporate ancient sky and astronomical simulations, horizons, detailed topography and architectural 3D models of the sanctuaries at Sounion, Aegina and Perachora. These three key case studies were selected as they have enough extant remains and written information to allow meaningful reconstructions in an extra-urban environment. They will be virtually explored at specific times of the day/night and year to gain insights into religious practice, ritual timing, astronomical connections, and into how they might have shaped experience and social memory through specific socio-mythical associations. To do so, the Experienced Researcher (ER) will reconstruct the total environment with the aid of targeted hands-on-research training, using advanced 3D techniques, landscape analysis and current theoretical approaches on the cognitive formation of space and experience in ritual performance. These methods will enhance the ER’s profile with cutting-edge techniques that will situate her at the forefront of research and boost her career.
Development of a new biomolecule to better control reproduction in fish

Fish farming is growing at 8% a year and will soon be the main source of fish for consumers. It supplies more than 34% of the world's fish consumption. Nevertheless, due to captivity environment some species have reproduction problems with no spontaneous ovulation in females and no spermiation in males. In some farmed freshwater species (ie, Carp, Salmon, Trout) and marine species (ie, Sea bass, Sea bream) the growth phase of reproductive development occursin captivity in contrast to oocyte maturation and ovulation in females, and spermiation in males that do not occur spontaneously. This problem requires exogenous hormonal therapies which are the only way to produce fertilized eggs reliably. In other species, these hormonal manipulations are used only as a management tool to enhance the efficiency of egg production, increase spermiation and facilitate hatchery operations.
	ReproPharm Vet developed a first in class monoclonal antibody RP01 and its fragment RP001, that are able to potentiate the activity of endogenous FSH and LH in mammals such as rat, bovine, ovine, porcine species. RP001 fragment can induce ovulation in female and stimulate spermatogenesis in male without any exogenous hormone injection. When injected, it acts directly on circulating FSH and LH hormones by binding to them and potentiating their activity. RP001 is more effective than conventional hormonal treatments it induces a better ovulation rate in polyovulating species and a better steroidogenic response in every species.
	Treatment with potentiating RP001 would be a highly innovative solution, hormone free, which could be a disrupting product in fishing market if we demonstrate its efficacy on fish FSH and LH. Its added value would be a more efficient method to induce ovulation and spermatogenesis without any exogenous hormone injection. RP001 would be a ""must-have"" product to better control fish reproduction in a natural and sustainable way that represents a special issue on environment.
Cartilage progenitor cells for growth plate regeneration

Growth plate injuries result in growth arrest, formation of a “bony bar” and angular limb deformities in children. Novel therapeutic approaches directed towards prevention of bone formation and growth arrest have to integrate cellular grafts, biomaterials and growth factors with the ultimate goal of recapitulating the complex zonal organization of the growth plate. One endogenous source of cartilage progenitor cells is thought to be the resting zone of the growth plate. Until now, the lack of specific marker(s) for the resting zone restricted the examination of this population. In the proposed research, I aim to label and trace these cells during postnatal growth and in reaction to trauma, and I aim to understand: whether resting zone cells express skeletal stem cells characteristics (Aim 1), whether they are expandable and multi-potent (Aim 2) and whether they contribute to regeneration of the growth plate in a physeal fracture model (Aim 3). Clinical translation of chondrocyte stem cell regeneration necessitates basic validation in human tissue of the cell surface markers found in mouse stem cells. This last step in the project will be performed in collaboration with Dr. Fernando Santos Laboratory at University of Oviedo, Spain. Altogether, these results will provide a strong basis for development of bioengineering strategies for growth plate cartilage restoration. Finally, this collaboration between Dr Andreia Ionescu Lab and Dr Laboratory would provide not only an interchange between American and European laboratories, basic and clinical science, but also a robust criterion for identification of a stem cell population instrumental for the development of future therapeutics.
The development of a multiscale modeling framework for investigating marine soft clays

The planning and construction on or in soft marine clays has been proven to remain a challenge for geotechnical engineering. These type of clays are often instable, difficult to characterize and reinforce (i.e. ground improvement), and very common in coastal areas all over the world. The presence of marine soft clays are often the reason for landslides, with hazardous consequences. The complexity of these natural material has hindered the understanding of how macroscopic properties (>meters) such as instability, translates to microscopic (<micrometer) phenomena. As a result, the complex behavior of marine soft clays observed on the continuum scale is not fully understood and the models based on this experimental data are phenomenological. Yet, it is the properties and processes occurring on the microscale that govern the material response properties of these clays. 

This proposal aims to develop a multiscale framework for investigating marine soft clays. The objectives to reach this aim are the development of an anisotropic aggregation model for clay, the development of simple model materials with well-defined chemical and mechanical properties, and the comparison of these simplified models with naturally occurring soft marine clays. The proposed research use concepts from aggregation theory in combination with simulations of macroscopic material properties such as stiffness, strength and permeability. Experimental methods consists of state-of-the-art material characterization techniques such as: Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Relaxometry, Time-Resolved Dynamic Light Scattering, chemical analysis methods and mechanical characterization using advanced Bishop Wesley cells. The planned work is a bottom-up approach, where simple model materials substitute the natural more complex ones and aid the development of multiscale soil constitutive models.
Letters from the Past: Armin Tuulse’s Archive in Tartu

In 2015, the correspondence of Professor of Art History Armin Tuulse (1907–1977) and his wife Liidia Tuulse (1912–2012), which dates back to 1944 when the family escaped to Sweden, arrived at the Estonian Literary Museum. A significant part of the archive is comprised of the correspondence between the spouses, along with frequent contacts with exile Estonian cultural figures and Armin Tuulse’s work-related communications with colleagues in Europe, the U.S. and Australia. The main objective of this article is to take a first look at the material and highlight the main points of emphasis in the correspondence of the exile Estonians in the 1940s and 1950s. At that time, the main issue (in addition to worries about everyday hardships and living conditions) was related to the continuation of their work and keeping Estonian culture alive in a foreign cultural and linguistic space.In order to understand Armin Tuulse’s position in Sweden, the article also takes a look back onto his activities in the Department of Art History of the University of Tartu in the 1930s and 1940s, when Sten Karling (1906–1987) from Sweden came to teach in Tartu. Under Karling’s guidance, Tuulse became a dedicated scholar and later the first Estonian to become a professor of art history.

Atlas

The human subcortex is a highly crowded brain area, which consists of hundreds of unique, small grey matter nuclei constituting approximately ¼ of total human brain volume. Importantly, only approximately 7% of these nuclei are currently accessible in standard human brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) atlases (Forstmann et al., 2016). This low percentage can have several imaging related causes, including the small size of subcortical nuclei as compared to the voxel size, which is particularly relevant when applying 1.5 or 3 Tesla (T) MRI. Additionally, the challenges posed by the large distance of the subcortex from the head coil may be a cause. In light of the vast amount of uncharted brain areas, one can also think of the human subcortex as ‘terra incognita’. The aim of this proposal is to chart ‘terra incognita’ to create a tool to identify and localize new targets for DBS.  
Major efforts of my group have already been directed towards resolving at least part of the challenges of imaging the human subcortex through the development of ultra-high field resolution 7T magnetic resonance imaging (UHF-MRI) sequences tailored to image the subcortex. Within our project ‘Atlasing the human subcortex’, collaborations with world-leading companies in DBS technology such as Boston Scientific (http://www.vercise.com/index.cfm) have been established. Here, we aim to extend these efforts by applying for funding for research personnel that will execute the manual segmentations and validation of new potentially more efficient target areas for DBS neurosurgery. These efforts will lead to creating probabilistic atlas maps for DBS surgery with unprecedented detail as well as a 3D app for educational purposes both in the clinical and basic neurosciences. These efforts will ultimately lead to commercial products that have already attracted attention of world-leading DBS companies.
Chromosomal abnormalities in roots of aquatic plant Elodea canadensis as a tool for testing genotoxicity of bottom sediments

Submersed freshwater macrophytes are considered as relevant indicators for use in bulk bottom sediment contact tests. The purpose of this study was to estimate the validity of endpoints of aquatic plant Elodea canadensis for laboratory genotoxicity testing of natural bottom sediments. The inherent level of chromosome abnormalities (on artificial sediments) in roots of E. canadensis under laboratory conditions was lower than the percentage of abnormal cells in bulk sediments from the Yenisei River. The percentage of abnormal cells in roots of E. canadensis was more sensitive to the presence of genotoxic agents in laboratory contact tests than in the natural population of the plant. The spectra of chromosomal abnormalities that occur in roots of E. canadensis under natural conditions in the Yenisei River and in laboratory contact tests on the bulk bottom sediments from the Yenisei River were similar. Hence, chromosome abnormalities in roots of E. canadensis can be used as a relevant and sensitive genotoxicity endpoint in bottom sediment-contact tests.
Development of direct dehydrogenative couplings mediated by dioxygen

The field of C-H bond activation has evolved at an exponential pace in the last 15 years. What appeals most in those novel synthetic techniques is clear: they bypass the pre-activation steps usually required in traditional cross-coupling chemistry by directly metalating C-H bonds. Many C-H bond functionalizations today however, rely on poorly atom and step efficient oxidants, leading to significant and costly chemical waste, thereby seriously undermining the overall sustainability of those methods. As restrictions in sustainability regulations will further increase, and the cost of certain chemical commodities will rise, atom efficiency in organic synthesis remains a top priority for research. 

The aim of 2O2ACTIVATION is to develop novel technologies utilizing O2 as sole terminal oxidant in order to allow useful, extremely sustainable, thermodynamically challenging, dehydrogenative C-N and C-O bond forming coupling reactions. However, the moderate reactivity of O2 towards many catalysts constitutes a major challenge. 2O2ACTIVATION will pioneer the design of new catalysts based on the ultra-simple propene motive, capable of direct activation of O2 for C-H activation based cross-couplings. The project is divided into 3 major lines: O2 activation using propene and its analogues (propenoids), 1) without metal or halide, 2) with hypervalent halide catalysis, 3) with metal catalyzed C-H activation. 
The philosophy of 2O2ACTIVATION is to focus C-H functionalization method development on the oxidative event.

Consequently, 2O2ACTIVATION breakthroughs will dramatically shortcut synthetic routes through the use of inactivated, unprotected, and readily available building blocks; and thus should be easily scalable. This will lead to a strong decrease in the costs related to the production of many essential chemicals, while preserving the environment (water as terminal by-product). The resulting novels coupling methods will thus have a lasting impact on the chemical industry.
Synaptic dysfunction in neuropsychiatric disorders

The large public health burden and individual suffering associated with mental disorders speaks to the need to study their biological underpinning. Genetic research, animal models of disease and human neuroimaging studies have provided convergent evidence to common pathways implicated in their aetiology, namely pathways that regulate synapse development and plasticity, which result in abnormal structural and functional connectivity in the brain of neuropsychiatric patients. The time has come to integrate studies across different levels, leading to the identification of signatures of illness associated to specific risk pathways, which can drive the development of novel therapies.

The objective of Syn2Psy is to provide high-level Ph.D. training for 14 early stage researchers (ESRs) to answer three critical questions: 1) What are the synaptic defects at the basis of neuropsychiatric disorders? 2) Which are the neuronal circuits that are disrupted, and may be targets for therapies? 3) How and when can we modulate the course of disease? Syn2Psy combines strong scientific with complementary know-how from the non-academic sector, and network-wide actions on scientific and complementary soft skills, to train a new generation of high achieving ESRs and provide them with the transferable skills necessary for thriving careers in a flourishing area. Industrial partners Lundbeck, Eurotrials and ZEISS provide experience on drug, clinical trials and technology development, the Coimbra University Hospital will expose the students to clinical research, while the clinic for child development PIN and the Marionet theatre company offer training in societal awareness and outreach. The excellent basic scientific knowledge and diverse skills acquired by ESRs will enhance their employment prospects in both the academic and non-academic sectors, and their scientific contributions will inform novel therapeutic approaches for alleviating this leading cause of disability worldwide.
Life cycle assessment of global warming potential in precast building component

Concern regarding sustainability in the construction industry has grown and many researches were conducted to improve understanding on the matter. New technologies and methodologies, including Industrialised Building System (IBS) emerge as an alternative to conventional in-situ methods of construction. Nonetheless IBS technology is not comprehensively adopted in Malaysia, which is most likely caused by lack of awareness and understanding on its beneficial impact to the environment. This study investigates the Global Warming Potential of IBS, focusing on precast concrete production of a residential building through Life Cycle Assessment (LCA). Investigation was focused on the production of wall panel or facade for a multi-storey building in a precast factory located in Pekan Nenas, Johor. Moreover, the production process and quality assurance and control for precast concrete were also identified. The boundary of this research is measuring the direct and indirect energy demand and carbon emission of precast concrete from cradle-togate where data obtained was analysed using OpenLCA software. Direct data was collected from the precast factory that comprises on the information regarding on precast concrete production process. While indirect data which includes embodied energy and carbon for raw materials production process and conversion factors for energy and carbon emission were collected from previous researches. This study found that production of mould consumed the highest energy by 55% while cement production emit highest amount CO2 by 92%. Embodied energy and carbon for this project are 11,790,968 MJ and 19,262,915 kg respectively while posing GWP of 4.4281 kg CO2,eq (x1010).

Determination of Rock-Breaking Performance of High-Pressure Supercritical Carbon Dioxide Jet

In this study, a well-designed experimental setup is used to determine the rock-breaking performance of a high-pressure supercritical carbon dioxide (SC-CO2) jet. Its rock-breaking performance is first compared with that of a high-pressure water jet under the same operation conditions. The effects of five major factors that affect the rock-breaking performance of the high-pressure SC-CO2 jet, i.e., the nozzle diameter, the standoff distance, the jet pressure, the rock compressive strength and the jet temperature are experimentally determined. The experimental results indicate that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is significantly improved over the high-pressure water jet. It is also found that the rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet is improved with the increase of the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance, until the nozzle diameter or the standoff distance reaches a certain critical value and after that it begins to deteriorate. The rock-breaking performance of the SC-CO2 jet improves monotonically with the increase of the jet pressure, while it shows a monotonic deterioration with the increase of the rock compressive strength. In addition, it is found that, under the same working conditions, the SC-CO2 jet can always provide a better rock-breaking performance than the subcritical liquid CO2 jet.
