Thermodynamic optimisation of the biofuel production based on mutualism

Abstract Recently, we have introduced a new bioeconomic indicator in order to avoid the difficulties in evaluating the process and technologies for sustainability. In this paper, we wish to improve this new indicator for the analysis of sustainability. Indeed, the indicator has been based on the exergy analysis of dissipation and irreversibility, and it was proven in some social and technical application. In this work, a more general definition has been introduced in order to use it in any evaluation of sustainability. In particular, it has been applied to improve the biofuel production obtained by microorganisms, starting from the biophysical behaviour of the microorganisms themselves. Indeed, in industrialised countries, the management of CO 2 emissions represents one of the present compelling issues. In this context, the improvement of the energy efficiency, and its rational use, can be considered a fundamental economic strategy for the sustainable development of the industrialised countries. Our indicator takes into account all these requests for the development and sustainability, resulting a very interesting thermoeconomic quantity to be used by decision makers. Moreover, it is used to prove that mutualism can represent a new approach for the optimisation of biofuels production.

Domain based routing algorithm for DTN (The single copy case)

In order to improve delivery ratio and reduce average delay and network cost in Delay and disruption Tolerant Network (DTN), This paper puts forward a domain based single copy routing algorithm (DBR) for BirdNet, which is a special DTN based on mobile sensor nodes installed on birds with GPS function enabled. In this algorithm, the GPS position information from the bird is used, to assign the mobile node to domains, to calculate delivery predictability, so that the invalid and duplicate data transmission will be less. By preceding measures, this algorithm can reduce the transmission delay as well as improve delivery ratio. Furthermore, the way of assign nodes to domain significantly reduces the routing protocol packets between nodes, which decreases the energy consumption, and extends the lifetime of nodes.
The role of TSH receptor antibodies in the management of Graves' disease

The central role of thyrotropin receptor antibodies (TRAbs) in the pathogenesis of Graves' disease has been recognised for several decades. However, the practical application of testing for TRAbs in clinical decision making remains the subject of controversy. The diagnosis of Graves' disease can be made in most cases simply based on a patient's clinical presentation. The TRAb test is therefore of most value in ambiguous clinical scenarios such as in the differential diagnosis of unilateral exophthalmos, euthyroid Graves' ophthalmopathy, subclinical hyperthyroidism, thyrotoxicosis associated with hyperemesis gravidarum, amiodarone-induced thyrotoxicosis and painless thyroiditis. It may also have a role in predicting the risk of a recurrence of Graves' disease following a course of antithyroid drug treatment. One further clinical utility of the TRAb test is in pregnancy where antibody titre measured during the third trimester is used to predict the risk of neonatal thyroid dysfunction. The TRAb titre not only aids in clinching a difficult diagnosis but can also help guide treatment in some patients. Although the TRAb assay has become more affordable in recent years, cost remains an important factor when considering its use routinely. Nonetheless, this is an underutilised blood test that could augment standard endocrine investigations in the differential diagnosis of hyperthyroidism.
Evolution of gender options in multiple pregnancy management

Fetal reduction (FR) in multiples dramatically improves outcomes. We prioritize FR decisions for health and historically declined to factor gender. As male preferences apparently diminished, our bioethicist encouraged a re-evaluation.Three hundred ninety-six patients reducing triplets or twins were categorized as 3➔2, 3➔1, and 2➔1, Major (M) anomaly or minor (m) anomaly, same gender (SG), and those for whom gender preference (GP) was possible. Higher order and non chorionic villus sampling were excluded. FR decisions were prioritized by M anomaly, Suspicious, or m anomaly. If neither, we considered GP.Of 319, 214 (67%) had either M/m or SG. Of those, 3➔2 with gender option: 71/79 chose male and female or had no preferences, one chose male/male, and seven chose female/female. We reduced monochorionic twins in 33/35 3➔1 cases. Of 20 with GP choice, 10 chose male and 10 chose female. Of 162 2➔1, 54 had M or m, 50 were SG, but of the 44 M/F twins, 20 chose male and 24 chose female.There has been a cultural shift mostly preferring one of each or having no preference. When reducing to one, >50% prefer a girl. In addition to identifying abnormalities, chorionic villus sampling before FR expands patient autonomy.
Mediterranean Trans-Regional Cooperation for green manufacturing innovation

Manufacturing is an important pillar for Europe, since it impacts significantly on economy, occupation welfare and environment. It consumes about the 30% of the total energy produced, uses as input critical raw materials and is responsible for environmental emissions. Thus, the adoption of green practices in manufacturing is a top-priority of several European Regions._x000D_
However, even if Europe is a global leader in green manufacturing research, its innovation capacity should be strongly improved. The availability of a European network of pilot plants accessible to SMEs could significantly contribute to this goal._x000D_
_x000D_
The setup such an interconnected network of pilot plants requires the identification of common challenges and the mobilization of considerable resources. For these reasons, Regions should cooperate to reach this goal under the paradigm of smart specialization. _x000D_
_x000D_
In the “VANGUARD Initiative”, a Clusters-governed methodology for the setup of trans-national projects of pilot plants was conceived, but was not tested on a structured basis and on a large scale._x000D_
Based on this experience, GREENOMED aims at testing and transferring this methodology in the MED Regions, considering their peculiarities and also their link with other relevant EU manufacturing Regions, in particular with Germany._x000D_

A study of K-promoted MoP–SiO2 catalysts for synthesis gas conversion

Abstract The conversion of synthesis gas to oxygenated hydrocarbons over a series of K-promoted MoP–SiO 2 catalysts, is reported. Catalysts with 5, 10, and 15 wt% MoP on SiO 2 and promoted with 1 and 5 wt% K, were prepared, characterized and tested at 548 K, 8.27 MPa and a H 2 :CO = 1. An increase in CO conversion was observed with increased MoP and K loading and the highest oxygenate space time yield of 147.2 mg g cat −1  h −1 was obtained over the 5 wt% K–15 wt% MoP–SiO 2 catalyst. CH 4 was produced with high selectivity (29–40 C atom%) over the un-promoted MoP catalysts, but with the addition of K, the CH 4 selectivity was suppressed and the C 2+ oxygenated product selectivity increased as the surface K/Mo atom ratio increased, up to a maximum at a K/Mo ratio of 3.2. The highest selectivity towards C 2+ oxygenates (76.6 C atom%) and lowest selectivity towards CH 4 (9.7 C atom%) occurred on the 5 wt% K–10 wt% MoP–SiO 2 catalyst. The major oxygenates in the product were acetaldehyde, acetone and ethanol. In all cases, catalyst selectivity to methanol was low ( 2 catalysts was distinct from that reported on other Mo-based catalysts.

Risk based consenting of offshore renewable energy projects

The consenting of offshore renewable energy is often cited as one of the main non-technical barriers to the development of this sector. A significant aspect of this is the uncertainty inherent in the potential environmental impacts of novel technology. To ensure consents are compliant with EU and national legislation, such as the Environmental Impact Assessment and Habitats Directive, costly and time consuming surveys are required even for required even for perceived lower risk technologies in sites which may not be of highest environmental sensitivity. It is therefore the aim of the RiCORE project to establish a risk-based approach to consenting where the level of survey requirement is based on the environmental sensitivity of the site, the risk profile of the technology and the scale of the proposed project. RiCORE will study the legal framework in place in the partner Member States to ensure the framework developed will be applicable for roll out across these Member States and further afield.
 
The next stage of the RiCORE project is to consider the practices, methodologies and implementation of pre-consent surveys, post-consent and post-deployment monitoring. This will allow a feedback loop to inform the development of the risk-based framework for the environmental aspects of consent and provide best practice. The project will achieve these aims by engaging with the relevant stakeholders including the regulators, industry and EIA practitioners, through a series of expert workshops and developing their outcomes into guidance.
 
The impact of the project will be to improve, in line with the requirements of the Renewable Energy Directive specifically Article 13 (1), consenting processes to ensure cost efficient delivery of the necessary surveys, clear and transparent reasoning for work undertaken, improving knowledge sharing and reducing the non-technical barriers to the development of the Offshore Renewable Energy sector so it can deliver the clean, secure energy
Flujos de material particulado y formación de una lámina de sedimentos en la plataforma continental interna frente al Callao durante El Niño Costero 2017

Durante la ocurrencia de El Niño Costero 2017, en la bahía del Callao se instalaron dos trampas de sedimento (mecánica y automática) a 30 y 40 m de profundidad para obtener muestras e información de los flujos de material particulado en el subsistema bentónico. La trampa mecánica (30 m) registró acumulación equivalente a 6,46 cm/año; la automática, entre el 20 y 29 de marzo 2017, recolectó 8.777,9 mg.m-2día-1, asociados a las máximas descargas del río Rímac. En el área somera, donde estuvieron las trampas, y en la plataforma continental adyacente (96 m de profundidad) testigos de sedimentos no perturbados (recolectados entre 2017 y 2018) se destinaron para determinar i) el contenido orgánico del primer centímetro superficial del sedimento durante y después de los máximos aportes fluviales del río a la bahía y, ii) los cambios en la estructura sedimentaria así como del contenido terrígeno en los sedimentos, empleando el nivel gris de las radiografías de los testigos de sedimentos. Estos testigos mostraron acumulación de hasta 4 cm de sedimento durante el 2017 y 2018 así como efectos de bioturbación y erosión por las corrientes. A 94 m de profundidad fue formada y preservada una lámina de 1 cm de espesor, color marrón oliva claro a marrón oliva con alta razón de carbono total y nitrógeno total (CT/NT) (12,19 en febrero, 10,26 en abril), que denotan el origen terrestre de la materia orgánica en contraste con la razón CT/NT de 4,88 encontrada en agosto. Elalto contenido de partículas de origen terrígeno (que está asociado al color claro de esa lámina) se explica por el aporte de sedimentos acarreados por los extraordinarios caudales del río Rímac. La información obtenida de los proxies tales como el espesor de esta lámina formada durante El Niño Costero 2017 y sus características preservadas en la ‘capa fangosa de la plataforma’ o Shelf mud layer, influenciada por la Zona de Mínimo Oxígeno, puede ser aplicada para calibrar proxies de reconstrucción de pasados episodios de erosión fluvial causados por extremas precipitaciones en la cuenca del río Rímac.
Evaluating the global energy balance of Titan

To understand the weather and climate on Earth as well as on other planets and their moons, scientists need to know the global energy balance, the balance between energy coming in from solar radiation and thermal energy radiated back out of the planet. The energy balance can provide interesting information about a planet. For instance, Jupiter, Saturn, and Neptune emit more energy than they absorb, implying that these planets have an internal heat source. Earth, on the other hand, is in near equilibrium, with energy coming in approximately equaling energy going out, though a small energy imbalance can lead to global climate change.
INSULATING MATERIAL BASED ON MINERAL WOOL, INSULATION SYSTEM, INSULATION METHOD

The invention concerns an insulating material comprising at least two insulating layers based on mineral wool, one so-called lower layer designed to be in contact with a support surface, in particular a cover or steel wall or roof section, and a so-called upper layer further away from the support surface, wherein the lower layer consists essentially of glass wool with a density, mv1, ranging between 50 and 120 kg/m<3> and thickness, e1, ranging between 50 and 200 mm, wherein the upper layer consists essentially of mineral wool, in particular glass wool and/or rock wool, with a density, mv2, ranging between 100 and 250 kg/m<3> and thickness, e2, ranging between 10 and 50 mm, and wherein the mass density ratio of the upper and lower layers verifies the relationship: mv2/mv1 >/= 2.5.
Positional accuracy of the Google Earth terrain model derived from stratigraphic unconformities in the Big Bend region, Texas, USA

The Google Earth terrain model could prove beneficial for extraction of positional data in the future. At present, only an aging independent benchmark study (Potere, D., 2008. Horizontal position accuracy of Google Earth's high-resolution imagery archive. Sensors, 8, 7973–7981) provides constraints on positional accuracy for Google Earth imagery. In this investigation, we compared virtually traced positions against high-precision (<1 m) field measurements along three stratigraphic unconformity sub-sections in the Big Bend region to determine current positional accuracy for the Google Earth terrain model. A horizontal position accuracy of 2.64 m RMSEr was determined for the Google Earth terrain model with mean offset distance being 6.95 m. A vertical position accuracy of 1.63 m RMSEz with mean offset distance of 2.66 m was also calculated for the terrain model. Results suggest data extracted from the Google Earth terrain model could plausibly be used in future studies. However, we urge caution in using Goo...
The unity of scattering amplitudes: gauge theory, gravity, strings and number theory

Scattering amplitudes are central observables in quantum field theory and provide essential information about the quantum consistency of perturbative gravity. Precise control of the physical and mathematical properties of scattering amplitudes holds the key to long-standing questions on fundamental interactions and the structure of space and time. As a concrete leap in this direction, UNISCAMP addresses predictions in gauge theories, gravity and effective theories through

- the efficient computation and compact representation of scattering amplitudes and,
- decoding their hidden structures & symmetries and their rich web of connections.

String-theory methods will complement conventional approaches to scattering amplitudes, and I will combine the insights from

- the point-particle limit of superstrings & heterotic strings and,
- the recent ambitwistor strings which directly compute field-theory amplitudes.

Both of them naturally incorporate the double-copy relation between gauge-theory & gravity amplitudes and extend the framework to effective field theories describing pions and other low-energy states. It is a primary goal of UNISCAMP to pinpoint the unifying principles connecting a wide range of field and string theories. My expertise in both flavours of string theories will allow to optimally exploit their fruitful synergies and to depart from mainstream approaches. 

Moreover, field- and string-theory amplitudes exhibit an intriguing mathematical structure: Their Feynman- and moduli-space integrals yield special functions such as polylogarithms which became a vibrant common theme of high-energy physics and number theory. As an interdisciplinary goal of UNISCAMP, I will

- investigate the low-energy expansion of multiloop string amplitudes and,
- extract an organizing scheme for iterated integrals on higher-genus Riemann surfaces.

These research objectives should benefit from my experience in collaborations with mathematicians.

Asking Women Survivors about Thoughts or Actions Involving Sex with Children: An Issue Requiring Therapist Sensitivity

This article reports findings from the qualitative phase of a mixed-methods study exploring whether current counseling practices with women survivors of child sexual abuse include inquiry about thoughts and behavior involving sex with children. Following an online survey of therapists across Canada, telephone interviews were conducted with a subgroup of 22 therapists. Two main themes emerged: (a) the dilemma for the therapist and (b) strategies to explore the issue. The "dilemma" refers to the therapeutic reasons and ethical responsibility to have this discussion versus the possible negative effects on the client and/or the therapeutic relationship, the discomfort of the therapist, and inadequate training. Strategies to explore the issue are presented including normalizing, ensuring client understanding, and using different types of inquiry.

Novel services for future proof agencies and smes

Future Proof is a novel knowledge exchange and co-design platform that uses foresight and scenario planning methodologies to co-develop novel innovation services for SMEs. It will take into account the rapid and complex changes of the world in order to use suitable methods and technologies that will respond to the future needs of our SME clients.    The three innovation agencies of the Future Proof consortium, have worked for almost three decades with clients providing innovation support services. Numerous clients and participants in seminars and workshops have raised the question that caught our attention: ‘How do you compete successfully in this endlessly changing world?    During the last decades colossal changes have radically changed the innovation environment and the business arena. Digitalization, sharing economy, automation, the rise of China, climate change are only few of the drivers that have created new risks, opportunities and challenges for both the SMEs and the innovation agencies.  Nevertheless, SMEs and innovation agencies have done little to change their traditional modus operandi, thus facing serious difficulties to address current and future challenges. Innovation agencies for the last 3 decades are basically offering the same bouquet of services while the same applies for the available innovation SME support programs.     Considering the above overall objective of the Future-Proof project is threefold:  (i) To utilise strategic foresight methodologies for designing new services and/or programs that will respond to the future needs of our SME clients. (ii) To exchange best-practices in designing and implementing foresight related services to SMEs that will create high-performance resilient future-proof SMEs.   (iii) To broadly communicate the project outputs to the European innovation ecosystem.
