Joint inversion of borehole electromagnetic and sonic measurements

New-generation electromagnetic (EM) and sonic logging tools are capable of measuring multi-frequency multi-component data at multiple depths of investigation. This allows us to image the formation around the borehole by using an inversion method. A method is developed for directly obtaining porosity and fluid saturation distributions by simultaneously inverting borehole EM and sonic measurements. This joint inversion reduces the nonuniqueness of determining porosity and fluid saturation distributions, which can not be achieved with either sonic or EM inversion only. We show that the inversion algorithm can accurately obtain porosity and water saturation distributions around the borehole including the zones invaded by the mud filtrate, oil-water contacts, and as well as the dipping structures.
Nonlinear frequency up-conversion via double topological edge modes

We study the nonlinear frequency up-conversion in a plasmonic thin film sandwiched between one-dimensional photonic crystals (PCs) of different Zak phases by rigorous numerical time-domain nonlinear hydrodynamic calculations. We show that the proposed hetero-structure can support robust fundamental and high-order topological edge modes that simultaneously enhance the third-harmonic generation. Numerical simulations also show that femtosecond pulses can excite double topological edge modes through optical tunneling in band gaps, leading to a large nonlinear response. The obtained third harmonic generation (THG) conversion efficiency of the hetero-structure is three orders of magnitude larger than that of a single plasmonic film. The results presented here may open new avenues for designing high-efficiency nonlinear photonic devices.
Solvates and polymorphic phase transformations of 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid

A previously unknown monohydrate and five solvates of an anti-HIV agent, 2-chloro-4-nitrobenzoic acid (CNBA), were discovered and characterized by various analytical techniques such as powder X-ray diffraction, single-crystal X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, and thermogravimetric analysis. The solvates were readily obtained from the solvents 1,4-dioxane, dimethylsulfoxide, acetophenone, p-xylene and mesitylene. In the crystal structures of three of the solvates (1,4-dioxane, p-xylene and mesitylene solvates) the CNBA molecules form an acid-acid dimer motif and such motifs are stabilized via π⋯π stacking interactions. Slurry experiments confirmed the thermodynamic stability of Form I at room temperature. The results of desolvation experiments and a comparison of the crystal structures of the hydrate/solvates and the pure polymorphs indicate that the desolvation product does not necessarily contain a similar crystal structure to the solvate. Grinding experiments with catalytic amounts of various solvents suggest that Form II converts to Form I in most cases and both forms convert to the hydrate upon grinding with water. Grinding with 1,4-dioxane and mesitylene results in solvates and they transform to the more stable Form I upon extended grinding of 60 min.
Rnafate- revealing regulation of cellular “noise”.

RNA is an essential element in the flow of genetic information in the cell. Recent development of genome-wide techniques reveal multiple novel RNA transcripts, mostly non-coding (nc) for protein. Their significance for the cell is still poorly understood and at first they were considered as “noise”. During the recent decade research has revealed growing evidence for the importance of ncRNAs in cell development and disease. Further elaboration of their functions remains a pressing need in the field. To address this gap in knowledge we will focus on clarifying their regulation. One of key processes modulating levels of RNA in the cell is degradation. Xrn1 is a highly conserved 5’-3’ exoribonuclease that plays an important role in RNA decay. At the Institut Curie the Morillon’s group has discovered that a class of long non-coding (lnc)RNAs is highly sensitive to Xrn1-decay in yeast. The XRN1 sequence is well-conserved from yeast to human, but very little is known about human (h)Xrn1 targets other than mRNAs. Recent studies have revealed involvement of human lncRNAs in cancerogenesis or viral infection. Moreover, studies of Hepatitis C virus (HCV) have shown that viral infection change ncRNA levels. Others have reported that viral structured (sf)RNA can inhibit hXrn1. But how this sfRNA affect ncRNA-om was not yet determined. Importantly, Xrn1 can localize to cytoplasmic foci called P-bodies which are dynamic reservoirs of multiple RNAs and proteins involved in processes such RNA silencing or RNA decay. It has been demonstrated that P-bodies are altered in multiple human diseases and upon viral infection. There are three objectives for this project: 1) identifying novel members of the hXrn1-sensitive coding and noncoding transcriptome, 2) understanding, on a genome-wide scale, how the impairment of hXrn1 by viral sfRNA can change ncRNA stability, as well as their potential role in infection 3) defining the effect of hXrn1 impairment on P-body formation and composition.
Standard collagenous organs-on-chip envisaging advanced biological researches

SeCtOR ENABleRs aims to develop a convenient kit for the production of partially customizable organs-on-chip. The main motivations that lead us to get involved in this effort are to provide the scientific community of an easy-to-use, economically convenient and standardized microfluidic platform. This is expected to facilitate and promote the diffusion of advanced 3D cell culture systems in routine analyses and make results obtained from different experiences/laboratories more comparable. In this view we envisage possible applications in the field of stem cell biology, personalized medicine, toxicology as well as advanced pre-clinical trials. The kit main components are an ad hoc designed thermoplastic chip and a set of collagenous formulations. The chip design will allow the integration of a thermo-controller device compatible with live cell imaging techniques. A biomimetic approach and a cell-friendly crosslinking strategy will allow to control the composition and the mechanical properties of the collagenous formulations, thus approaching the complexity of natural cell environment. The flexibility of the kit will be demonstrated by obtaining vascularized neuronal and bone models using commercially available cells. Although some risky steps areforeseeable, the innovation in this project is more represented by the concept of organs on chip platform standardization than in significant disruptive breakthroughs. We are convinced that the accessibility to a convenient, standardized and flexible platform is the key to exploit the huge potentialities demonstrated by microfluidics organs on chip. The implementation of the proposed multidisciplinary work plan in an industrial environment will contribute to obtain unconventional complementary skills; understanding of the industrial  perspective and needs and will finally guarantee the full exploitation of the project outcomes by establishing future SME/academics collaboration projects.
Continuous variables quantum complex networks

At different scales, from molecular systems to technological infrastructures, physical systems group in structures which are neither simply regular or random, but can be represented by networks with complex shape. Proteins in metabolic structures and the World Wide Web, for example, share the same kind of statistical distribution of connections of their constituents. In addition, the individual elements of natural samples, like atoms or electrons, are quantum objects. Hence replicating complex networks in a scalable quantum platform is a formidable opportunity to learn more about the intrinsic quantumness of real world and for the efficient exploitation of quantum-complex structures in future technologies. Future trusted large-scale communications and efficient big data handling, in fact, will depend on at least one of the two aspects -quantum or complex- of scalable systems, or on an appropriate combination of the two.

In COQCOoN I will tackle both the quantum and the complex structure of physical systems. I will implement large quantum complex networks via multimode quantum systems based on both temporal and frequency modes of parametric processes pumped by pulsed lasers. Quantum correlations between amplitude and phase continuous variables will be arranged in complex topologies and delocalized single and multiple photon excitations will be distributed in the network.  I aim at:
-Learn from nature: I will reproduce complex topologies in the quantum network to query the quantum properties of natural processes, like energy transport and synchronization, and investigate how nature-inspired efficient strategies can be transferred in quantum technologies. 
-Control large quantum architectures: I will experiment network topologies that make quantum communication and information protocols resilient against internal failures and environmental changes. I will setup distant multi-party quantum communications and quantum simulation in complex networks.
An Outline of Ergodic Theory

This informal introduction provides a fresh perspective on isomorphism theory, which is the branch of ergodic theory that explores the conditions under which two measure preserving systems are essentially equivalent. It contains a primer in basic measure theory, proofs of fundamental ergodic theorems, and material on entropy, martingales, Bernoulli processes, and various varieties of mixing. Original proofs of classic theorems - including the Shannon–McMillan–Breiman theorem, the Krieger finite generator theorem, and the Ornstein isomorphism theorem - are presented by degrees, together with helpful hints that encourage the reader to develop the proofs on their own. Hundreds of exercises and open problems are also included, making this an ideal text for graduate courses. Professionals needing a quick review, or seeking a different perspective on the subject, will also value this book.

APPARATUS FOR MAKING A MULTI-LAYER INJECTION BLOW MOLDED CONTAINER

Apparatus for making a rigid container by injection molding a parison having plural layers of polymers including interior and outer layers in an injection mold (20) having a core pin (10A, 10B). A blow mold (30A, 30B) is used to blow the parison to the final shape of the container. Control devices (100, 110, 115, 120) exercise control over each of the plural plasticators (82A, 82B, 82C) and rams (70A, 70B, 70C) for the plural polymers so as to produce uninterrupted layers extending throughout the walls of the parison and to insure that the interior layers are completely encapsulated within the outer layers.
Dependence of the evolution of carbon dynamics in the northern permafrost region on the trajectory of climate change

Significance We applied regional and global-scale biogeochemical models that coupled thaw depth with soil carbon exposure to evaluate the dependence of the evolution of future carbon storage in the northern permafrost region on the trajectory of climate change. Our analysis indicates that the northern permafrost region could act as a net sink for carbon under more aggressive climate change mitigation pathways. Under less aggressive pathways, the region would likely act as a source of soil carbon to the atmosphere, but substantial net losses would not occur until after 2100. These results suggest that effective mitigation efforts during the remainder of this century could attenuate the negative consequences of the permafrost carbon–climate feedback.
Production-Ready oriented development of radically innovative vehicle electric drive

Opportunities to make electric vehicles radically energy and cost-efficient are rare. PRODRIVE is a response to the commercial potential created by environmental and political challenges recognized by all major world economies. PRODRIVE will address these global challenges through a completely new, mass-production-ready in-wheel electric motor for electric passenger cars. The project is customer-focused and is solving key needs of automotive OEMs who are only looking for already industrialized in-wheel motor solutions for their new vehicle concepts. This innovative product will displace current technologies with a reduction in vehicle manufacturing cost and its sales price, disrupting the existing market.
1500 in-wheel motor is based on Elaphe’s patented unique electromagnetic and mechanical design, fits into 19’’ or larger rims, incorporates original OEM brakes, offers unprecedented peak torque and is essential to covering the torque needs of the upper-segment car market. PRODRIVE will result in an industrialized and mass-produced solution that will increase the energy efficiency of the e-powertrain by 10-15% when compared to current electric cars and offer 20 % more performance at 2% better efficiency than the closest in-wheel motor competitor. With the lowest production price, it is suitable for market entry even at lower production quantities. Being so disruptive, it will have faster penetration and higher degree of environmental and economic impact on established markets.
Compared to today’s EVs, the end-user will experience lower car prices and an annual ownership cost reduction without sacrificing performance or comfort. PRODRIVE will bring Elaphe to Tier 1 supplier position at prominent automotive OEMs and enable 296 new employments, 200 million € in revenue with 29 million € of combined EBITDA, and 18% global upper-segment passenger car market share in the 5 years after the projects’ end. ROI turning point will be during year 2 after the end of the project.
Maternal Employment and Childhood Malnutrition in Ecuador

This paper estimates the causal impact of maternal employment on several childhood malnutrition outcomes in Ecuador, to understand the trade-off between the time mothers devote to work and child-caring activities. We use exogenous regional variation in maternal labour market conditions to account for the potential endogeneity of mothersâ€™ employment. Using the Ecuadorian National Health and Nutrition Survey 2018 and the Living Conditions Survey 2014, the instrumental variable estimations indicated that maternal employment increases the probability of having stunted children by between 4.3 and 21 percent, while no significant effect was found on children suffering from wasting, underweight or overweight. We found that children with more educated, richer mothers appeared to be the most negatively affected. The results were robust to several robustness checks.
Integrated photonic neural networks with arbitrary capabilities

As data generation and transfer rates have grown rapidly over the last decades, integrated photonic systems have become the key technology enabling modern communication systems. In order to sustain future economic and societal growth, continued development of arbitrarily complex and multi-functional integrated photonic systems is therefore imperative. Traditional design of these systems relies on determining device geometries using analytical electromagnetics, after which various parameters are optimized. In contrast, the flexibility for more complicated optical functionality is currently only possible with “blank-slate” optimization routines. In these algorithms, the device structure is determined by searches through thousands of degrees of freedom, which is computationally prohibitive when targeting arbitrarily complex functionality with larger devices. To this end, this project will develop an artificial intelligence-based, universal photonic neural network architecture and its optimization framework to enable and experimentally demonstrate arbitrary photonic capabilities on-chip. For the first time, this novel approach will allow solutions for designer-specified operations including arbitrary combinations of wavelength and polarization-specific transfer functions. Resulting devices will be fabricated and characterized to demonstrate previously elusive on-chip functionality, and for rapid adoption and widespread use. Customer needs in communications and sensing applications will be specifically targeted through an industrial secondment, and a structured innovation management/commercialization plan. This framework and its industrial use represent a vast leap towards universal integrated photonic design for advancing European capability and economic drivers through innovation in future optical systems. As such, the fellowship will transform my career towards future leadership at the intersection of academic research and industrial innovation.

Novel ETHE1 mutation in a carrier couple having prior offspring affected with ethylmalonic encephalopathy: Genetic analysis, clinical management and reproductive outcome.

Ethylmalonic encephalopathy (EE) is an autosomally recessive inherited disorder with a relentlessly progressive decline in neurological function, usually fatal by the age of ten. It is characterised by generalised hypotonia, psychomotor regression, spastic tetraparesis, dystonia, seizures and, eventually, global neurological failure. Approximately 50 reports have been published worldwide describing this devastating disease, most involving patients of Mediterranean or Arab origin. The fundamental defect in EE likely involves the impairment of a mitochondrial sulphur dioxygenase coded by the ETHE1 gene responsible for the catabolism of sulphide, which subsequently accumulates to toxic levels. A diagnosis of EE should initiate careful genetic evaluation and counselling, particularly if the parents intend to have additional offspring. The present report describes the diagnosis of EE in a reproductive endocrinology context, where both members of a non-consanguineous couple were confirmed to be carriers of an identical A↷G mutation. This previously unknown mutation at nucleotide position c.494 resulted in an amino acid substitution, p.Asp165Gly. Although consideration was given to in vitro fertilisation, embryo biopsy and single gene pre-implantation genetic diagnosis, the couple decided to first utilise a less aggressive therapeutic approach with donor sperm insemination. Pregnancy with a low risk of EE was indeed achieved; however, the infant was affected with a different anomaly (hypoplastic left heart). As this case demonstrates, prior to the initiation of fertility therapy, genetic analysis may be used to provide a confirmatory diagnosis when EE is suspected.

Innovative refining process for valorization of vegetable oil deodorizer distillates

IRODDI is an ambitious initiative that proposes the development of new greener processes for obtaining new bio-based products with specific properties/functionalities derived from the Free Fatty Acids (FFAs) contained in the deodorizer distillates residual streams of the deodorization process, the last step of the refining process of oils and fats. These newly obtained products will suppose an high added value for FFAs valorization in comparison to their conventional biodiesel application, as they will be used as (1) bio-compatible and eco-friendly surfactants with increased solubility in cold water (by chemical neutralization of FFAs with eco-friendly ILs), (2) biodegradable base-oils that can be directly used in the formulation of bio-lubricants  (by enzymatic esterification of FFAs with glycerol) and (3) sustainable polyols for polyurethanes production (by chemical co-valorization of the base-oils obtained in the enzymatic processes of FFAs esterification). Moreover, in order to achieve the maximally possible added value of the deodorization distillates side streams, innovative technologies based on supercritical CO2 (scCO2) and ionic liquids extraction will be developed to isolate minor compounds with a high added-value under softer operational conditions, that will their high quality. One advantage of the IRODDI project is that the technologies developed could be applied individually or in an integrated process to maximize profits of deodorization distillates valorization. 
The outcomes of the project will be focused on the demonstration of the applicability of these components in different industrial sectors: food-grade detergents (surfactants), bio-lubricants (base-oils), adhesives (polyols), and cosmetics (minor compounds such as squalene).
