Calcium intake in high-risk pregnant women assisted in a high-complexity hospital

Pregnancy is characterized by physiological changes. One of these changes involves calcium. During this period, an increased in calcium excretion occurs as well as an increased intestinal absorption and renal reabsorption, so that the adequate growth and development of the fetus can happen. Low calcium intake is associated with chronic diseases, such as diabetes and hypertension, which have negative impact on both mother and fetus. This study aimed to evaluate the average calcium intake of high-risk pregnant women, assisted in a clinic of high complexity service and correlated with chronic diseases. To perform this study, it was used a food frequency questionnaire. As a result, high-risk pregnant women showed daily calcium intake lower than the recommended by DRI during this period. Hypertensive or diabetic pregnant women showed lower average intake of calcium. Significant association between calcium intake and nutritional status was not observed. Calcium supplementation was present, however, at low percentage in the groups with hypertensive pregnant women. To analyze the relation between calcium intake and the comorbidities, as well as calcium intake and the nutritional status of the pregnant women, it was used one-way analysis of variance and Bonferroni multiple comparison. Further studies are required for evaluating other parameters that justify the low calcium intake among this population group, and the definition of pathways for the management of the nutritional deficit considering the possible damage to maternal and neonatal health in the short and long term.
A Comparative Study of Characteristics,Similarities and Differences in Honorifics between China and Japan

Honorifics in Chinese and Japanese have their own features in terms of classification,expression modes and ranges of application,whose main differences lie in the fact that Japanese honorifics not only have their fixed expression modes and grammatical system but also undergo complex changes in their expression modes in line with the relationship between the speaker and the hearer;whereas it is not the case in Chinese honorifics.In the Chinese language,honorifics are mainly expressed by adding honorific prefixes to nouns and by preceding the predicate with please,as is evident in the wide use of such courteous expression modes as words of thanks,words of apology and phatic words.
Deciphering archaeological residues to understand the history of european grape cultivation and winemaking societies

The prehistoric development and spread of grape cultivation and winemaking have impacted the world to a remarkable extent, shaping core social traditions, religious and secular rituals, and the world economy. Despite the cultural significance of viniculture, there are major gaps in our understanding of its development, including:

A) when and where white berries were first propagated,
B) when varieties became established into local traditions, and
C) how viniculture changed during cultural upheavals.

In DREGS, I will explore these questions by analysing ancient seeds excavated from archaeological sites across Eurasia and North Africa dating 1000 BCE to the Middle Ages. Under the guidance of experts at the University of York, I will be trained in 2- and 3-dimensional documentation of seeds and then recover the ancient DNA (aDNA) they contain. Preliminary results demonstrate berry colour and variety can be inferred using aDNA, so I anticipate findings on the above questions will lead to publications in top journals and generate great public interest on social media. 

During the programme I will also be trained in residue analysis of artefacts. I hypothesize amphorae resin preserves aDNA in archaeological sites that do not yield grape seeds. To test this idea, I will characterize lipids from resinous deposits of dozens of amphorae as well as the DNA within the resin. To properly identify DNA sequences within these complex metagenomic palimpsests, a bioinformatician at the University of Warwick will guide my analyses. Although I have just begun a lectureship, the two years of research enabled by DREGS will allow me to acquire new skills that will ultimately be transferred to students and my collaborators. Furthermore, my novel direct testing of wine artefacts will allow me to explore the history of wine across the European Research Area, raising my profile in the field and helping consolidate myself as group leader of world-class palaeogenomics laboratory.
METHOD FOR PRODUCING A LAYER

The invention relates to a method for producing a layer or a body that is composed of stacked layers, wherein a process gas having a pressure of > 10 bar is accelerated in a convergent-divergent nozzle and a coating material, which is formed from particles and made of Mo, W, a Mo base alloy or a W base alloy, is injected into the process gas. The particles are, at least partially, in the form of aggregates and/or agglomerates. It is thus possible to produce density layers and components. The invention further relates to layers and components having a microstructure, which comprises cold-formed grains having a high degree of expansion.
The ultimate commuting solution for a car-free city

Carr and Hansson kinetics (Sweden) is a young and fast growing company backed up with 30 years experienced team in innovation. Kinetics have developed UDO, a control unit-motor system (patent pending) to give support to wheels in human powered vehicles, in such way that instead of accelerating through the motor we let the user accelerate but then keep the higher speed longer. UDO has been tested in two vehicles’ prototypes, one of a kick-bike and another of a bicycle, and has proven its very low energy consumption (1 Wh/km), big autonomy (up to 120 km) and usability.
54% of the worlds’ population lives in cities and almost half commute to work by car, generating 40% of CO2 emissions. Car user’s experience is far from being efficient as up to 101 hours in congestion can be wasted and € 10.000/year in costs can be spent. Commuting by bike is a great way to avoid traffic jam, contributes to a healthier city, increases the appeal of public transport and save money whilst exercising. However, current offerings (traditional and electric vehicles) presents drawbacks that still prevent commuters to switch. Nowadays solutions for cities’ sustainable mobility are bicycles (but the physical effort required and the need to shower afterwards still prevents many commuters) and electric bicycles (discouraged by many users as they feel dangerous, are heavy and have low autonomy as they must be charged every 15-40 km). As such, there is currently a gap between potential urban cyclists and the vehicle offering. UDO is the alternative that fill the gap for commuters to shift towards a healthier, more sustainable and safer way to travel to work.
The goal of UDO’s project is to bring our vehicles to a state of serial production and international commercialization. We estimate to reach payback after 3 years and generate almost €3M, creating 17 new jobs within our company. With UDO we will bring the light-electric vehicle’s revolution to European cities!
Sustainablility increase of lightweight, multifunctional and intelligent airframe and engine parts

Multiple challenges exist with respect to the development of multifunctional and intelligent airframe and engine parts. These are situated along the entire aircraft component value chain - design, manufacturing, MRO and recycling. SUSTAINair addresses each of these phases. With respect to design, new joining techniques for metal and composite designs are developed and demonstrated. For metal joining, these include a novel pin-pattern creation with Laser Powder Bed Fusion/Wire Arc Additive Manufacturing/Laser Direct Energy Deposition. For composites, these consist of thermoplastic welding. With respect to both design and manufacturing, a flexible wing with morphing capabilities is made industrially possible by introducing a novel concept using tailored elastomers, seamless integrated with conventional structural wing parts for lowest integration risk, providing a realistic industrial morphing technology. The problem of high production waste in the manufacture of composite materials, Ti AM and Al HPDC is addressed, thereby reducing waste streams, e.g.: For thermoset prepreg manufacturing waste and thermoplastic waste, new recycled materials are developed and characterized to allow re-use with recyclability up to 100%, bringing FTB ratio close to 1 (KET3-KPI); Increased BTF ratio of Ti powders by using it 6x (vs. 1x now) (KET4-KPI); Incredible BTF ratio <1.1 by advanced HPDC processing of thermal stable nano-eutectics (KET5-KPI). A Structural Health Monitoring system optimizing MRO activity is proven using radically new ZnO nanowires, which will be integrated into polymer as well as metal parts. Finally, SUSTAINair raises the bar with respect to aircraft EoL, introducing Industry 4.0 automated technology for robotic dismantling.
Toolbox of multipotent bioactive composite implants for the full functional regeneration ofbones after a trauma

There are 8 million bone trauma each year in the EU alone, affecting mostly active people and about 1 million children. 20% of all bone injuries require hospitalization and cost ~2 billion euro to healthcare payers each year.
Biomaterial fixation implants are used today to heal these people’s bones but none of them can guarantee their full functional restoration. Implants always leave a mark: a hole, a foreign material (the case of metallic devices) or poor restored functionality (the case of absorbable polymer and recent composite implants). Second surgery is even needed in nearly one third of the cases.

As population ages, finding materials to enable citizens to live a longer active life with a strong, well-preserved bony structure is a top priority.

In this context, the biomaterial company NORAKER has developed the first bioactive composite fixation implant made of a well-tolerated absorbable polymer combined with a revolutionary synthetic biomaterial able to form bone, where it is missing : bioactive glass. 
This implant, which addressed the fixation of the anterior cruciate ligament in the knee, showed bone-rebooting performances well above the state-of the-art. 
Major stakeholders (surgeons, hospital, specialized distributors worldwide) have been urging NORAKER to develop further implants to address a wide spectrum of bone trauma (fracture, tendon rupture). This persisting demand has convinced NORAKER to develop a full bioactive composite implant toolbox. 
To meet this goal, NORAKER will :
-	Validate the feasibility of the bioactive composite formulation to target all bone trauma and to design all associated implants 
-	Determine the first implants to populate the toolbox (outcome of a user and market study) and gain visibility to early-adopters
-	Establish a robust business model to market the toolbox straight forward at the global scale.

This is the scope of the project REBOOT.
Impaired endothelium mediated vascular reactivity in endogenous Cushing's syndrome

Endogenous Cushing's syndrome (CS) is associated with a high incidence of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality resulting from the co-existence of multiple cardiovascular risk factors which probably induce a state of endothelial dysfunction. Recently, studies conducted in vitro as well as in normal human subjects suggest a direct role of cortisol in the causation of vascular dysfunction in this disorder. We non-invasively assessed the vascular reactivity and its potential association with elevated cortisol levels in patients of CS. A single time point observational study was conducted in 18 patients of CS and 15 age and gender matched healthy subjects. Vascular reactivity was assessed non-invasively by measuring the peripheral pulse wave form changes during reactive hyperemia (RH) using digital photoplethysmography (PPG). Parameters measured were pulse wave form amplitude (PWA), slope and pulse transit time (PTT). Maximal percentage changes in PWA during RH with reference to baseline were significantly lower in the patients as compared to controls [23.19% (13.19-53.54) vs 61.71% (38.21-95.36); p=0.0079]. Normalized PTT responses during the 1(st) minute of RH were blunted in the patients as compared to controls (1.036 ± 0.026 vs 1.056 ± 0.029; p=0.0425). Percentage changes in PTT during the 2(nd) minute of RH were negatively correlated to the morning cortisol levels in patients (r = -0.6328; p=0.0064). The present study showed that endothelium mediated vascular reactivity along with myogenic regulation of vascular tone is impaired in CS. Hypercortisolism possibly plays an important role in the causation of impaired vascular reactivity and endothelial dysfunction in CS.

Precise calculation of the triple-<mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"><mml:mi>α</mml:mi></mml:math>reaction rates using the transmission-free complex absorbing potential method

We study the triple-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$ reaction process at low temperatures, which is known to play an important role in stellar physics. The Schr\odinger equation for three $\ensuremath{\alpha}$ particles is solved by using hyperspherical coordinates, while a complex absorbing potential is introduced in order to describe correctly the three-body continuum states. We use an angular-momentum-independent $\ensuremath{\alpha}\ensuremath{-}\ensuremath{\alpha}$ potential and introduce three-body potentials to reproduce the energies of both the Hoyle state and the first ${2}^{+}$ state. The triple-$\ensuremath{\alpha}$ reaction rate is computed accurately at temperatures from $T=0.01$ to 10 GK and compared with those available in the literature. Our reaction rate is found to be up to three orders of magnitude larger than the NACRE rate at low temperatures $T\ensuremath{\approx}0.01$ GK, while we find a reasonable agreement between them at higher temperatures $T\ensuremath{\gtrsim}0.1$ GK.

Hold it or let it go: a niche decision on cancer growth

The tumour microenvironment or niche is the vital non-cancerous compartment of the tumour structure. Thus, targeting its tissue-derived cells represents a promising avenue to better therapeutic interventions. However, knowledge about the tissue cells taking part of the tumour niche during early cancer development and later progression is lagging behind due to the difficulty of analysing and following early tissue changes in the surrounding of cancer cells in vivo. In our research proposal we will use a combination of original tools developed in the lab and state of the art technologies to overcome some of these constraints and expand our understanding of which cells in the niche support early cancer cell growth. We also aim to reveal their mechanism of action and identify approaches to block the niche supportive activity. Our five-year plan has three main objectives (I, II, III), which we will meet using two original strategies. With the first strategy we will visualize the early tumourigenic niche in vivo. This will allow us (I) to identify and characterize novel cellular components during dynamic niche evolution both in the context of metastatic colonization as well as during primary tumour onset. We will also use this original approach (II) to deepen our understanding of neutrophils in cancer, a particularly crucial emerging component of the cancer niche, whose role is still debated. 
After dissemination, cancer cells may encounter an unfavourable niche, failing to start colonization and remaining dormant within the tissue. However, the quiescent-permissive tissue can change, cancer cells reactivate and form metastases even a long period after tumour resection. Little is known about the changes in the niche of dormant cells capable of triggering their reactivation. With the second strategy we will generate an in vivo a controllable, dormant-permissive tissue (III) to screen for potential signals triggering dormant cells reactivation.
Synthesis and characterization of SBA-16 type mesoporous materials containing amine groups

Abstract This work describes the synthesis of SBA-16 modified with amine groups and chitosan. The synthesized materials were characterized by small angle XRD (SXRD), wide angle XRD (WXRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), Fourier-transformed Infra-red (FTIR) spectroscopy and nitrogen adsorption/desorption techniques. The characterization results revealed that the new materials show highly ordered mesostructure with large surface area and pore diameter, suitable for further applications. FTIR, WXRD, TGA data and elemental analyses proved that amine groups/chitosan were uniformly dispersed on SBA-16 surface. The materials obtained can be considered as safe, on the basis of insignificant cytotoxic effect against a human colon cancer cell line Caco-2. The preliminary tests have shown that the SBA-16 materials are able to modify the release profile of furosemide (FUR), a poorly soluble active substance of Class IV of the Biopharmaceutics Classification System (BCS).

Operator version of the best approximation problem in HilbertC⁎-modules

Let V ⊆ B ( H , K ) be a Hilbert C ⁎ -module over a C ⁎ -algebra A ⊆ B ( H ) , and X , Y ∈ V . In this paper we study a problem of finding A ∈ B ( H ) such that | X + Y A | ⩽ | X + Y B | for all B ∈ A . We show that such an operator exists if and only if the range of Y ⁎ X is contained in the range of Y ⁎ Y , and in this case it can be chosen to belong to A ″ . We also consider Hilbert C ⁎ -modules in which for every X and Y there is (a unique) A with the above property.
Immunofluorescent determination of wheat protein in meat products

In food industry nowadays, there are various plant-origin protein additives which are meant for production of meat products. Among the most frequent additives of this type there are different kinds of flour, starch, fiber, and plant-origin proteins. Their usage at present is limited by the existing legislation not to prevent consumer deception but also for reasons of possible influence on consumer health. Therefore, this problem is paid a lot of attention not only in the Czech Republic but also all over the world. The main risk is seen in the impossibility to choose a suitable foodstuff for an individual prone to allergic reactions. Potential allergens are also often plant-origin raw materials which are added into foodstuffs for their technological qualities and low price. Wheat is widely cultivated cereal as well as an important source of proteins. After ingestion or inhalation, wheat proteins may cause adverse reactions. These adverse effects include a wide range of disorders which are dependent on the method of contact with wheat protein. These adverse effects can then take the form of various clinical manifestations, such as celiac disease, T-cell mediated inflammatory bowel disease, dermatitis, skin rash, breathing difficulties, allergy to pollen or to wheat flour or food allergy to foodstuffs containing gluten. The only possible protection against adverse immune reactions for those with food allergies is strictly excluding the allergen from their diet. Although the number of studies dealing with the reduction or loss of allergenicity is increasing, yet these practices are not common. Most of the population suffering from food allergies is thus still dependent on strict exclusion of foodstuffs causing adverse allergic reactions from their diet. In order to avoid misleading consumers and also to protect allergic consumers, analytical methods applicable to all types of foodstuffs have been developed. Unfortunately, detection of allergens in foodstuffs is relatively difficult because of the fact that they occur in trace amounts and are often masked by various parts of the product. This paper deals with detection of wheat protein in meat products bought in the retail network of the Czech Republic. Ten cooked meat products, especially types of sausages and soft salami which stated wheat protein in their composition, were examined. The samples were processed using the method of immunofluorescence and stained with Texas Red fluorochrome. The presence of wheat protein was demonstrated in all the examined meat products. From the results it follows that the method of immunofluorescence is suitable for detection of wheat protein in meat products. Normal 0 21 false false false CS JA X-NONE
Liquid crystal display apparatus, drive circuit therefor, and drive method therefor

A liquid crystal display apparatus is disclosed, which is capable of suppressing sound emission caused by the AC drive of liquid crystal while suppressing an increase in power consumption. A non-active period during which polarity reversal of a common electrode signal (VCOM) is repeated at predetermined intervals is provided in each horizontal scanning period. During an active period, a common electrode drive circuit provides a common electrode signal (VCOM) indicating either one of potentials LV1 and LV2 to a common electrode, based on a polarity instruction signal (POL). During the non-active period, the common electrode drive circuit provides a common electrode signal (VCOM) whose potential changes between LV3 and LV4 to the common electrode, based on a reversal timing control signal (CTRL). Here, the amplitude of the common electrode signal (VCOM) for the non-active period is made smaller than the amplitude of the common electrode signal (VCOM) for the active period.
