A reliable and transparent solid biofuels online quality control system

Ultimate target is to develop a reliable and transparent online solid biofuels quality control system and concept that enables for the biomass power plants:
- Reduces energy production costs 1-5 %
- Increases plants efficiency 0,1 - 1 %
- Reduces GHG emissions by 5-10 % in the whole production chain.
- Reduces the need of sampling and laboratory analysis by 70-90 %
- Enables up to 1 million euros savings per power plant in investment costs compared to current automatic sampling systems
- Payback time less than 2 years
In the EU level the exploiting of the system decreases greenhouse gas emissions annually by up to 500 000 tons, increases renewable energy production and increases EU’s self-sufficiency in biofuels. The size of the market is estimated to be over one billion euros.

In bioenergy production the solid fuel quality and especially moisture content and share of foreign matter are the key parameters. The water content of the fuel is a parameter used in the regulations of some manufacturers to manage the settings of a biomass boiler. But it is also essential for verifying energy content of the fuel delivered to the power plant which is base for fuel pricing. Solid biofuels often contains foreign matter such as stones, sand, soil and also metals that lowers energy content and increases operation and maintenance costs in the power plant. High moisture content and amount of foreign matter in biofuels increases operation and maintenance (O&M) costs for the whole production chain.
Current practise of biofuel quality control is based mainly on manual sampling and laboratory analysis method which is uncertain and requires a lot of manual work.  Inray’s technology that enables solid biofuels online quality data that can be used in optimizing power plant’s processes. 

Specific objectives for this feasibility study are: End-user survey, Partner search, IPR survey and Elaborated Business plan development.

Experimental investigation of surface-layer parameters in low wind-speed conditions in a suburban area

Low wind-speed conditions in a suburban area were investigated through the analysis of sonic anemometer observations gathered at three vertical levels, 5, 9 and 25 m, during an experimental campaign carried out in the city of Turin in northern Italy. The data analysis allowed assessing how the surface-layer variables are affected by the specific heterogeneous conditions characterized by a calm regime. The applicability of the known theories for the surface layer and their limitations in such an environment were investigated. The roughness and the stability parameters, the friction-velocity and the wind-velocity standard deviations were analysed accounting for the variability of the wind speed and direction and of the urban structure. Formulations for some of these quantities, to be used in air pollution modelling, were considered, discussed and verified with the observations. The low wind-speed regime proved to be more effective in influencing the characteristics of the surface-layer structure and of the turbulence than the urban geometry itself, with the latter mainly affecting the surface-roughness parameters.
Application of rna nanotechnology for delivery of mrna therapeutics

Sixfold Bioscience is a biotechnology company that conducts preclinical research and development on its patented Programmable Oligonucleotide Delivery System (PODS). Proof-of-concept in vitro and in vivo data has been demonstrated for the delivery of siRNA-PODS to specific cancer cells by ligand-based targeting. Sixfold is now looking to expand the utility of the PODS to include mRNA delivery (mRNA-PODS). 

The field of mRNA therapeutics is hugely promising area of Cell and Gene therapy, where it has the potential to cure, treat or reprogram any cell in the body. However, there are no effective methods available to deliver these drugs efficiently and safely in the body. Current options in preclinical development have issues with severe toxicity and a lack of specificity. Sixfold’s biocompatible PODS have the potential to be a best-in-class solution for mRNA delivery, however in order to exploit this opportunity the SME is required to overcome an extremely competitive field and the chronic national labour shortages in RNA nanotechnology. 

Sixfold is applying for an European SME innovation Associate to overcome the challenges faced in hiring. The innovation associate will be given a unique opportunity to work on groundbreaking science with leaders in the field and develop their skills in entrepreneurship/innovation and RNA nanotechnology through tailored training. The associate will bring their experience in computational RNA biology, mRNA Biochemistry or RNA Nanotechnology (minimum PhD) to develop and implement computational and chemical techniques to adapt Sixfold’s proprietary technology for delivery of therapeutic mRNA.
Constant-factor approximations of branch-decomposition and largest grid minor of planar graphs in <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" altimg="si2.gif" display="inline" overflow="scroll"><mml:mi>O</mml:mi><mml:mrow><mml:mo>(</mml:mo><mml:msup><mml:mrow><mml:mi>n</mml:mi></mml:mrow><mml:mrow><mml:mn>1</mml:mn><mml:mo>+</mml:mo><mml:mi>ϵ</mml:mi></mml:mrow></mml:msup><mml:mo>)</mml:mo></mml:mrow></mml:math> time

We give constant-factor approximation algorithms for computing the optimal branch-decompositions and largest grid minors of planar graphs. For a planar graph G with n vertices, let bw ( G ) be the branchwidth of G and gm ( G ) the largest integer g such that G has a g × g grid as a minor. Let c ≥ 1 be a fixed integer and α , β arbitrary constants satisfying α > c + 1 and β > 2 c + 1 . We give an algorithm which constructs in O ( n 1 + 1 c log n ) time a branch-decomposition of G with width at most α bw ( G ) . We also give an algorithm which constructs a g × g grid minor of G with g ≥ gm ( G ) β in O ( n 1 + 1 c log n ) time. The constants hidden in the Big-O notations are proportional to c α − ( c + 1 ) and c β − ( 2 c + 1 ) , respectively.
Thermophobicity of liquids: Heats of transport in mixtures as pure component properties—The case of arbitrary concentration

We have measured Soret coefficients of a large number of binary mixtures of 23 different organic solvents. The present analysis is based on 77 equimolar mixtures and strongly supports the thermophobicity concept previously developed for the heats of transport of originally 10 different substances [S. Hartmann, G. Wittko, W. Köhler, K. I. Morozov, K. Albers, and G. Sadowski, Phys. Rev. Lett. 109, 065901 (2012)]. Among the investigated compounds, cis-decalin is the most thermophobic, hexane the most thermophilic one. In addition to the equimolar mixtures, we have also analyzed the composition dependence of the Soret coefficients and the heats of transport for 22 selected binary mixtures. Both the interpretation of the heats of transport in equimolar mixtures as pure component thermophobicities and the composition dependence of the Soret coefficient can be understood on the basis of the thermodiffusion theory developed by Morozov [Phys. Rev. E 79, 031204 (2009)], according to which the composition dependence is determined by the excess volume of mixing.
Combinatorial applications of random processes and expansion

The concepts of Randomness and Expansion are pervasive throughout Mathematics and its applications to many areas of Science and Engineering. The mathematical study of Expansion can be traced back to the ancient Greeks and of Probability to the analysis (e.g. by Fermat and Pascal) of games of chance. In the modern era, both concepts are influential in many areas of Mathematics (this proposal will emphasise Combinatorics and Probability, and also touch on Analysis, Geometry, Topology, Number Theory and Theoretical Computer Science). Within Science and Engineering, topics related to the mathematical problems covered in this proposal include Approximation Algorithms (Counting and Sampling), Statistical Physics (Magnetism, Lattice Gases, Polymer Models), Mathematical Biology (Epidemiology), Control Theory and Fluid Flow.

My recent and ongoing research has generated several exciting new ideas and methods. The most recent of these, the Cluster Expansion Method (work with Matthew Jenssen), is a far-reaching program to apply a classical tool from Statistical Physics to developing methods for describing the typical structure of models such as random homomorphisms from a discrete torus. Another exciting recent technique, Global Hypercontractivity (work with Noam Lifshitz, Eoin Long and Dor Minzer), is a structural refinement of the classical hypercontractivity theorem; we will generalise many of its applications to Mathematics and Computer Science and give several new applications, e.g. in Extremal Combinatorics (via the Junta Method). I will also develop new Absorption techniques to answer constructive mathematical questions that seem beyond the reach of Randomised Algebraic Construction (a method I developed to solve Steiner's 1852 question on the Existence of Designs).
Harvesting non-classical fluctuations with thermal machines

The goal of this action is to contribute towards the development of thermal machines which harvest the thermal as well as quantum fluctuations that are present in nanoscopic devices. To this end, a better understanding of fluctuations in thermal machines is required. The present proposal therefore includes a thorough investigation of fluctuations in quantum thermal machines. A focus lies on the non-classical character of these fluctuations and on the extraction of work from quantum heat engines. The proposal is divided into four work packages. In order to certify non-classical behavior, the first work package develops appropriate witnesses of non-classicality. The fluctuations in thermal machines are then investigated in three complementary work packages. Work package two investigates the fluctuations of heat, work, and efficiency in heat engine models. Non-classical behavior is expected to manifest itself in these fluctuations. A novel, Keldysh type input-output formalism will be developed to go beyond the standard regime of weak coupling between machine and thermal reservoirs. Work package three focuses on fluctuations that arise due to the finite size of thermal reservoirs present in mesoscopic systems. To this end, a novel formalism based on stochastic path integrals and quantum master equations will be developed. Work package four finally focuses on the crossover from a classical to a quantum regime. To this end, thermodynamic processes such as the expansion of a gas are investigated. Explicitly taking into account how work is extracted from the system, back-action effects from the corresponding quantum measurement are investigated. Together, these work packages give a rather complete picture on different types of fluctuations in quantum thermal machines. This is expected to settle the open question of a quantum advantage in thermal machines and will likely lead to novel types of machines which harvest thermal as well as quantum fluctuations.

Review and synthesis of stress intensity factor (SIF) solutions for elliptical surface cracks in bolts under nut loading: A Tribute to Agustín de Betancourt

This paper presents stress intensity factor (SIF or K) solutions for a semi-elliptical surface crack in a bolt subjected to remote tension and nut loading. Solutions were numerically computed by a 3D finite element method (FEM) with quarter-point singular isoparametric elements along the crack line. The SIF was calculated through the stiffness derivative method, by using a virtual crack extension technique to compute the energy release rate. Solutions are compared in the matter of SIF values at the center of the crack front and at the external surface of the bolt, and a wide range of crack aspect ratios and relative crack depths are studied, in order to provide the engineer with solutions applicable to different real situations in fracture mechanics or damage tolerance analyses such as static or cyclic (fatigue) loading, environmentally assisted cracking or corrosion-fatigue. Results of the analysis are relevant to determine the crack path evolution in threaded connections. In Memoriam: The paper is dedicated to the memory of the prominent Spanish engineer Agustín de Betancourt.

Elevated pressure sonication (eps) for the non-thermal processing of new extended shelf life products for adding value in the dairy industry

SERETech Ltd., has developed a disruptive non-thermal method of killing bacteria using a combination of elevated pressure CO2 and low intensity sonication. We have called this patented technology ‘Elevated Pressure Sonication’ (EPS). EPS is a market creating innovation that brings a step change to the Dairy Industry by enabling the production of new Extended Shelf Life (ESL) products that offer a flavour profile similar to their fresh counterparts thanks to the ability to achieve safety with a reduced thermal load. Our innovation can effectively inactivate microorganisms and spores at 40-50ºC, resulting in products with an extended shelf-life of at least a 4-fold increase with enhanced nutritional and sensorial profiles, as well as obtaining 5-fold reductions in energy usage compared to currently used pasteurisation processes and cutting process times by half. Moreover, the application of the technology to side-streams (buttermilk, whey and desludge) enables their recovery, thereby reducing waste, improving resource efficiency, increasing yields and enabling processors to leverage Circular Economy models. This novel solution has enormous potential to address and overcome key commercial, technical, social and environmental challenges that are faced by the dairy industry worldwide. 
The technology has been developed to pilot scale and demonstrated in industry to TRL6. Our aim is to leverage the SMEI to scale up to a customer fit-for-use continuous modular flow unit that will be suited to easy retrofit in existing dairy processing plants, and to commence commercialization in the global dairy industry as a first application (extending the applications then to other beverage processing and brewing). In Phase 1, we aim to perform an application-focused technical feasibility study in cocreation with industry early adopters, an assessment of the regulatory requirements for commercialisation, and a comprehensive market assessment that will inform our 5-year business plan.
A METHOD OF MAGNETICALLY ALIGNING AND CRYSTALLIZING MEMBRANE PROTEINS

The disclosure describes a method of forming highly ordered membrane protein crystals. The forming process is done in the presence of a magnetic field to exploit the diamagnetic anisotropy of the membrane protein. Further described is a method of magnetic alignment and crystallization of membrane proteins in two-dimensional (2D) sheets for protein structural characterization and applications in functional devices. Block co-copolymers are used in alternative embodiments to assist with the crystallization process.
Perception of Face and Body Expressions Using Electromyography, Pupillometry and Gaze Measures

Traditional emotion theories stress the importance of the face in the expression of emotions but bodily expressions are becoming increasingly important as well. In these experiments we tested the hypothesis that similar physiological responses can be evoked by observing emotional face and body signals and that the reaction to angry signals is amplified in anxious individuals. We designed three experiments in which participants categorized emotional expressions from isolated facial and bodily expressions and emotionally congruent and incongruent face-body compounds. Participants' fixations were measured and their pupil size recorded with eye-tracking equipment and their facial reactions measured with electromyography. The results support our prediction that the recognition of a facial expression is improved in the context of a matching posture and importantly, vice versa as well. From their facial expressions, it appeared that observers acted with signs of negative emotionality (increased corrugator activity) to angry and fearful facial expressions and with positive emotionality (increased zygomaticus) to happy facial expressions. What we predicted and found, was that angry and fearful cues from the face or the body, attracted more attention than happy cues. We further observed that responses evoked by angry cues were amplified in individuals with high anxiety scores. In sum, we show that people process bodily expressions of emotion in a similar fashion as facial expressions and that the congruency between the emotional signals from the face and body facilitates the recognition of the emotion.
Harvesting airborne wind energy (awe) using rigid kites

Airborne Wind Energy (AWE) is a potentially game-changing technology, which opens a vast new global potential for renewable energy. In Europe alone it is estimated to yearly 3,734 TWh, similar to that of conventional wind turbines AWEs extract energy from winds at altitudes of 500 - 1,500 m where the winds are much faster and more stable than close to the surface where conventional wind turbines operate. This gives a predictable and stable energy source without the same need for balancing and storing in the energy system as conventional wind does. The kite is almost invisible up in the sky and requires a minimal terrestrial footprint. The kite from Kitemill offers electricity at c€ 4.1/kWh already, expected to drop to c€ 2.8/kWh by 2030, outperforming by a distance conventional wind turbines at c€ 4.1/kWh today, but without the same potential for cost reductions as Kitemill. It is able to take-off and land vertically, while competitors need to launch and land like normal sailplanes. Kitemill plans to commercialize its technology through a minimum viable product (MPV) approach and stepwise upscaling of the kite turbines (30 kW/150 kW/500 kW). Kitemill has secured a customer for the world's first demonstration park of five 30 kW units that will be built during this project at Lista (Norway). The overall success criterion for this project is to establish demonstration parks and accumulate operation hours on the kite system, as this is a key enabler for commercial introduction. The market opportunities are abundant; as an example, our kites can replace thousands of decommissioned conventional wind turbines offshore where the foundations are no longer certified to carry heavy loads. If successful, the business is easily scalable and the turnover may reach €97m by 2024, while at the same time mitigate greenhouse gas emissions at low investments.
Constitución francesa y derecho de excepción

Aunque el constitucionalismo francés siempre ha tenido que lidiar con el derecho de excepción, no fue hasta la Segunda República cuando la legalidad de la excepción se formalizó en forma de lación de previsión con la ley de 9 de agosto de 1849 sobre el estado de sitio, cuyo principio estaba consagrado en la Constitución de 4 de noviembre de 1848. La ley de 3 de abril de 1878 adaptó el estado de sitio a la Tercera República convirtiéndolo en una competencia exclusivamente parlamentaria, dejando así la impronta del régimen político en la legalidad de la excepción. El derecho de excepción se enriqueció bajo la Cuarta República con el estado de emergencia a través de la ley del 3 de abril de 1955 en el contexto de Argelia, antes de que la Quinta República normalizara el uso del derecho de excepción en beneficio exclusivo del Presidente de la República, en sus dos dimensiones: constitucional (estado de sitio y poderes de crisis) y legislativa (estado de emergencia de derecho común y estado de emergencia sanitaria). Parece que la constitucionalidad de los estados de excepción nunca se ha cuestionado, bien porque los poderes públicos han evitado plantearla, bien porque el juez constitucional se ha preocupado de no obstaculizar la actuación del ejecutivo durante dicha situación. Al autorizar al legislador a crear una legalidad de excepción, consideró que la Constitución de 1958 no había limitado el derecho de excepción a los estados de sitio y a los poderes de crisis, aunque ello supusiera que una ley ordinaria pudiera poner en cuestión los derechos y libertades constitucionales sin que se planteara la cuestión de su propia constitucionalidad.
