Copolymers derived from rapeseed derivatives via ADMET and thiol-ene addition

Abstract Novel (co)polymers were synthesized from substances obtained from rapeseed via ADMET and thiol-ene additions. α,ω-Dienes derived from oleic and erucic acid were copolymerized with a ferulic acid derivative, a representative phenolic acid (p-hydroxycinnamic acid) present, for instance, in rapeseed cake. Copolymers with different ratios of these monomers were prepared via two different routes (ADMET and thiol-ene) and studied in detail. Both monomer and polymer synthesis were optimized in order to achieve high yielding synthetic procedures that meet the requirements of green chemistry. Some thermal properties of the resulting copolymer series were then studied and correlated to the co-monomer composition.
Liquid In Vitro Culture for the Propagation of Arundo donax

We describe a simple and inexpensive plant micropropagation system for giant reed (Arundo donax L.) that uses axillary buds from the lateral stems of elite plants selected from field- or nursery-grown plants. The buds, attached to the stems are cultured in stationary liquid MS culture medium, supplemented with indole 3-acetic acid and kinetin. This formulation is the only one required for all the stages. Contrary to what happens in semisolid medium where roots are not formed, the plants cultured in liquid medium are whole plants with shoots and roots that develop at the same time. The survival rate of these plants when transferred to soil is close to 100% during acclimatization. A clonal line of 900 plants from a single mother plant can be produced in 4 months.
Vibration Performance Analysis of FR Vibration Damper Using Finite Elements Method

FR vibration damper is widely used in overhead transmission lines to prevent aerolian vibration. In this paper, the vibration characteristics of the damper are analyzed. The finite element method software ANSYS was applied to investigate the modal, harmonic response and PSD of the damper based on the theory of mechanical vibration and dynamic analysis. The results prove that the FR vibration damper performs well in consuming the vibration energy of the transmission lines. Work done in this paper provides a new way based on numerical simulation in design and manufacturing of vibration damper, and has laid a foundation for further study of vibration damper.
Automatic Reconstruction of 3D Building Models from Terrestrial Laser Scanner Data

Abstract. With modern 3D laser scanners we can acquire a large amount of 3D data in only a few minutes. This technology results in a growing number of applications ranging from the digitalization of historical artifacts to facial authentication. The modeling process demands a lot of time and work (Tim Volodine, 2007). In comparison with the other two stages, the acquisition and the registration, the degree of automation of the modeling stage is almost zero. In this paper, we propose a new surface reconstruction technique for buildings to process the data obtained by a 3D laser scanner. These data are called a point cloud which is a collection of points sampled from the surface of a 3D object. Such a point cloud can consist of millions of points. In order to work more efficiently, we worked with simplified models which contain less points and so less details than a point cloud obtained in situ. The goal of this study was to facilitate the modeling process of a building starting from 3D laser scanner data. In order to do this, we wrote two scripts for Rhinoceros 5.0 based on intelligent algorithms. The first script finds the exterior outline of a building. With a minimum of human interaction, there is a thin box drawn around the surface of a wall. This box is able to rotate 360° around an axis in a corner of the wall in search for the points of other walls. In this way we can eliminate noise points. These are unwanted or irrelevant points. If there is an angled roof, the box can also turn around the edge of the wall and the roof. With the different positions of the box we can calculate the exterior outline. The second script draws the interior outline in a surface of a building. By interior outline we mean the outline of the openings like windows or doors. This script is based on the distances between the points and vector characteristics. Two consecutive points with a relative big distance will form the outline of an opening. Once those points are found, the interior outline can be drawn. The designed scripts are able to ensure for simple point clouds: the elimination of almost all noise points and the reconstruction of a CAD model.
Heparin Induces Harmless Fibril Formation in Amyloidogenic W7FW14F Apomyoglobin and Amyloid Aggregation in Wild-Type Protein In Vitro

Glycosaminoglycans (GAGs) are frequently associated with amyloid deposits in most amyloid diseases, and there is evidence to support their active role in amyloid fibril formation. The purpose of this study was to obtain structural insight into GAG-protein interactions and to better elucidate the molecular mechanism underlying the effect of GAGs on the amyloid aggregation process and on the related cytotoxicity. To this aim, using Fourier transform infrared and circular diochroism spectroscopy, electron microscopy and thioflavin fluorescence dye we examined the effect of heparin and other GAGs on the fibrillogenesis and cytotoxicity of aggregates formed by the amyloidogenic W7FW14 apomyoglobin mutant. Although this protein is unrelated to human disease, it is a suitable model for in vitro studies because it forms amyloid-like fibrils under physiological conditions of pH and temperature. Heparin strongly stimulated aggregation into amyloid fibrils, thereby abolishing the lag-phase normally detected following the kinetics of the process, and increasing the yield of fibrils. Moreover, the protein aggregates were harmless when assayed for cytotoxicity in vitro. Neutral or positive compounds did not affect the aggregation rate, and the early aggregates were highly cytotoxic. The surprising result that heparin induced amyloid fibril formation in wild-type apomyoglobin and in the partially folded intermediate state of the mutant, i.e., proteins that normally do not show any tendency to aggregate, suggested that the interaction of heparin with apomyoglobin is highly specific because of the presence, in protein turn regions, of consensus sequences consisting of alternating basic and non-basic residues that are capable of binding heparin molecules. Our data suggest that GAGs play a dual role in amyloidosis, namely, they promote beneficial fibril formation, but they also function as pathological chaperones by inducing amyloid aggregation.

Revisiting ethics in strategic management

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to explore the challenges faced by corporations in incorporating ethics into their strategic management processes. Design/methodological approach The research is based on a survey of the issues and the literature published in Europe, North America and Asia. Findings Findings indicate a definite gap between the implementation of strategy and the moral and ethical obligations of corporations. Given the decline in business ethics and recent corporate scandals it is proposed that ethics be brought back to the forefront of strategic management and integrated into the strategic management process. Research limitations/implications The paper serves as a instrument for debate and future research in that the ethical issues faced by corporations will continue to gather momentum as will the issues faced by traditional strategists. Originality/value This paper allows researchers and practitioners to gain an understanding of the issues and shortcomings in strategy and ethical integration, which allows for future research.
The effect of the sensor position of the pressure wire distal to a coronary stenosis on the calculated fractional flow reserve

The determination of the fractional flow reserve can be influenced by the position of the sensor of the pressure wire distal to a coronary lesion. We aimed to calculate the pressure gradients restricted to the stenosis and with the inclusion of the distal reference segment up to the position of the pressure wire. The coronary artery volumetric flow was calculated based on the velocity of the contrast material in the 3D reconstructed coronary segment. Pressure gradients were determined by fluid dynamic equations using the morphological data derived from 3D coronary angiography and contrast material velocities. The Bland-Altman analysis showed smaller diferences between the calculated and the measured FFR when the distal laminar resistances were also incorporated in the model, compared to the calculations restricted to the lesions (mean difference: -0.05 vs. -0.09, limits: -0.11-0.02 vs. -0.16-0.01; range: 0.112 vs. 0.159). The FFR reflects not only the pressure gradient of the stenosis, but also the laminar resistance of the poststenotic segment. Knowing the components of the detected gradients could be important for the clinical considerations of the cases near the cut-off value of the FFR.
Temporins A and B Stimulate Migration of HaCaT Keratinocytes and Kill Intracellular Staphylococcus aureus

ABSTRACT The growing number of microbial pathogens resistant to available antibiotics is a serious threat to human life. Among them is the bacterium Staphylococcus aureus , which colonizes keratinocytes, the most abundant cell type in the epidermis. Its intracellular accumulation complicates treatments against resulting infections, mainly due to the limited diffusion of conventional drugs into the cells. Temporins A (Ta) and B (Tb) are short frog skin antimicrobial peptides (AMPs). Despite extensive studies regarding their antimicrobial activity, very little is known about their activity on infected cells or involvement in various immunomodulatory functions. Here we show that Tb kills both ATCC-derived and multidrug-resistant clinical isolates of S. aureus within infected HaCaT keratinocytes (80% and 40% bacterial mortality, respectively) at a nontoxic concentration, i.e., 16 μM, whereas a weaker effect is displayed by Ta. Furthermore, the peptides prevent killing of keratinocytes by the invading bacteria. Further studies revealed that both temporins promote wound healing in a monolayer of HaCaT cells, with front speed migrations of 19 μm/h and 12 μm/h for Ta and Tb, respectively. Migration is inhibited by mitomycin C and involves the epidermal growth factor receptor (EGFR) signaling pathway. Finally, confocal fluorescence microscopy indicated that the peptides diffuse into the cells. By combining antibacterial and wound-healing activities, Ta and Tb may act as multifunctional mediators of innate immunity in humans. Particularly, their nonendogenous origin may reduce microbial resistance to them as well as the risk of autoimmune diseases in mammals.
Comparative insect chronobiology

Chronobiology is the study of biological rhythms. The best understood cycles are those with circadian 24 hour periods that modulate the temporal dynamics of physiology and behaviour of all higher organisms.  Four model organisms have been widely used to study the underlying molecular biology of endogenous circadian clocks, Cyanobacteria, the fungus Neurospora, the fruitfly Drosophila, and the mouse. Insect clocks, both circadian and seasonal, are vital for adaptation to the environment and recent global patterns of climate change mean that insect pests and vectors of disease are expanding their ranges into Europe. Consequently there is an urgent need to study the circadian clocks of these insects and how they synchronise to the environment. CINCHRON will create an integrated European centre of excellence for the research training of ESRs in the emerging multidisciplinary field of Comparative INsect CHRONobiology. CINCHRON will bring together molecular neurogeneticists working predominantly with Drosophila, and comparative biologists who study circadian and seasonal clocks of non-model insects of economic importance. These researchers have different approaches so we will harness their different skills for mutual benefit via the integrated training of their ESRs in association with industrial partners. This will be done by high level interactions between university and industry, as well as interactions among laboratories with different areas of expertise, thereby connecting the different sectors (academic and commercial) as well as different disciplines. The goal is to seed-corn the next generation of researchers with highly trained, flexible workers in cutting edge technological methods and complementary generic skills that will support European academic, academic-related and industrial institutions. CINCHRON will therefore contribute to the integration and cohesion of future European research efforts in solving pure and applied biological problem.

Single cell omics of the oligodendrocyte lineage in development and disease

One of the current challenges in biology is the characterization of specific cell types and states. Advances in single cell transcriptomics technologies have shown a higher heterogeneity in apparently homogeneous cell populations. However, in order to understand cellular identity and function it is fundamental to learn from both the epigenome and the transcriptome of the single cells. With this project I aim to study transcriptional/epigenetic states of cells from the oligodendrocyte lineage in healthy states and Multiple Sclerosis. Oligodendrocytes are glial cells in the central nervous system that produce myelin, a lipid-rich membrane that insulates neuronal axons. Abnormal or defective myelination is characteristic in diseases with high impact in health like for instance Multiple Sclerosis. During oligodendrocyte precursor cells proliferation there is an interplay between transcription factors and epigenetic modifiers essential for the acquisition of specific cell fates. In diseases like Multiple Sclerosis, the disruption of these states leads to decreased ability to repair myelin. I will develop computational pipelines and methods to integrate single cell epigenomic and transcriptomic data. The development of computational methods and benchmarks datasets will provide insights into the regulatory processes and elements shaping the oligodendrocyte cell identity in development and disease. Moreover, the methodology resulting from this project will be an important contributor to the development of novel computational approaches to tackle single cell technologies.
Silane-incorporated epoxy coatings on aluminum alloy (AA2024). Part 2: Mechanistic investigations

Abstract In the second part of this series work, the protection mechanism of epoxy–silane coatings was further investigated by combined use of sum frequency generation vibrational spectroscopy, FTIR mapping, XPS and AFM, from the microscopic point of view. Results showed that silane components, no matter γ-aminopropyltrimethoxy silane or bis-1,2-[triethoxysilyl] ethane, enhance the ordering of functional groups and exhibit healing effect and thus provide improved corrosion performance of superprimers. Phase separation was detected in epoxy coatings laced with immiscible bis-silane. Such phenomenon was gradually disappearing with prolonging the immersion, as a result of phase re-organization caused by the cross-linking reaction between silanes.
Development of a system of integration of the Odoo System with the program/programmes for keeping accounts.

The main objective of the project is to analyse in-depth analysis of the possibility of integrating the Odoo system in version 9.0 or 10.0 with one of the available, commercial Polish accounting and human resources systems. The aim of the project will be to analyse the possibilities for this integration, to develop the way and scope of the information exchanged and to create an initial version of the integration module. As part of the project, development work will be carried out by a scientific unit located in the territory of the Republic of Poland and awarded scientific category A+, A or B. Implementation of the results of development works will be carried out with the Applicant. The implementation of the activities planned in the project will allow PL Grants to develop the internal IT system and the services offered so that it is as adapted to changing business conditions as possible. First of all, the value of the expenditures that will be spent on the development of the system will be reduced, as the development of the Odoo system will be easy to benefit from. In addition, it will be possible (when building services) to benefit from a significantly improved interface of the new versions of Odoo, which is very important in the sale and delivery of services. An improved web interface and a mobile interface are particularly important, which greatly facilitates work and can attract a large number of customers. The project is in line with the objectives of the Action, as a result of the project, it will be possible to develop a competitive economy of the region based on innovation and entrepreneurship. Moreover, as a result of cooperation with the scientific unit from which the purchase of the project will be made, the objective of increased R & D activity of enterprises will be achieved. The system will be designed in accordance with the principles of universal planning. Once the results have been implemented, it is also possible to sell Odoo modules directly in Odoo Apps (https://www.odoo.com/apps).
Early Impact of the Affordable Care Act on Health Insurance Coverage of Young Adults

To evaluate one of the first implemented provisions of the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (ACA), which permits young adults up to age 26 to enroll as dependents on a parent's private health plan. Nearly one-in-three young adults lacked coverage before the ACA. STUDY DESIGN, METHODS, AND DATA: Data from the Current Population Survey 2005-2011 are used to estimate linear probability models within a difference-in-differences framework to estimate how the ACA affected coverage of eligible young adults compared to slightly older adults. Multivariate models control for individual characteristics, economic trends, and prior state-dependent coverage laws.This ACA provision led to a rapid and substantial increase in the share of young adults with dependent coverage and a reduction in their uninsured rate in the early months of implementation. Models accounting for prior state dependent expansions suggest greater policy impact in 2010 among young adults who were also eligible under a state law.ACA-dependent coverage expansion represents a rare public policy success in the effort to cover the uninsured. Still, this policy may have later unintended consequences for premiums for alternative forms of coverage and employer-offered rates for young adult workers.
Recommendations for stool donor selection for fecal microbiota transplant. Consensus document endorsed by the Catalan Society of Digestology, Catalan Society of Infectious diseases and Clinical Microbiology and the GEMBIOTA group from Spanish Society of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an effective and safe treatment to treat recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection. It is essential to make every effort to perform FMT rigorously and based on scientific knowledge. Selection of the fecal microbiota donor is a key point of the process to ensure recipient safety. It is necessary to have protocols of action that allow clinicians to act with the maximum guarantees and to minimise the risks of the procedure. For this reason, a multidisciplinary working group has been set up in Cataluña with the aim of establishing recommendations for the selection of the fecal microbiota donor. La transferencia de microbiota fecal (TMF) es un tratamiento eficaz y seguro para tratar la infección recurrente por Clostridioides difficile. Es esencial extremar esfuerzos para que la TMF se realice con rigor y en base a los conocimientos científicos. La selección del donante de microbiota fecal es un punto clave del proceso para garantizar la seguridad del receptor. Es necesario disponer de protocolos de actuación que permitan a los clínicos actuar con las máximas garantías y minimizar los riesgos del procedimiento. Por este motivo, en Cataluña se ha constituido un grupo de trabajo multidisciplinario con el objetivo de establecer unas recomendaciones para la selección del donante de microbiota fecal.
