Real world advanced technologies for diesel engines

The overall objective of the REWARD project is to develop the knowhow, intellectual property rights and technical capabilities to adequately and cost-effectively produce cleaner, highly efficient Diesel powertrains and aftertreatment technologies for future cleaner class A, B, C, D and E passenger cars and light commercial vehicles (LCVs) up to 3,500 kg that “go beyond Euro 6 limits under Real Driving conditions” (EU6 RDE). All technologies: friction and wear reduction measures, exhaust gas treatment concepts, fuel-efficient 2-stroke and 4-stroke Diesel engine concepts will be advanced to TRL 6 or TRL 7 and integrated in three demonstration vehicles. A full calibration and assessment of the vehicles and underlying technologies will take place to proof: real driving emissions below upcoming Euro 6 limits, 25% friction reduction in the entire engine, a significant higher lifetime durability and a more than 5% improved overall fuel efficiency. The impact of the cost effectiveness and high yield producibility of the applications will also be demonstrated.
Specific scientific and technical objectives, main innovations and targeted key results are:
1. To develop and demonstrate advanced exhaust gas treatment concepts and low emission technologies up to TRL 7
2. To develop and demonstrate advanced friction and wear reduction measures up to TRL 6/7
3. To develop and demonstrate advanced > 5% more fuel-efficient 0.7 l 2-stroke Diesel engines (TRL6) suited for class A/B passenger cars
4. To develop and demonstrate advanced > 5% more fuel-efficient 4-stroke Diesel engines (TRL7) suited for class B, C D and E passenger cars and LCVs
REWARD’s aim is to develop all key technologies up to TRL6 i.e. system/subsystem model or prototype demonstration in a relevant environment and to TRL7, i.e. system prototype demonstration in an operational environment. REWARD will also prepare a plan for a credible path to deliver the innovations to the market.

Micro-Diachronic Corpora for Measuring the Lexical Change of Spontaneous Speech in Florence Compared to Standard Italian

Cet article propose une mesure réaliste de la distance entre le lexique parlé utilisé par les Florentins en 1965 et l'italien standard actuel, et évalue les changements survenus au cours des quarante dernières années. Dans ce but, nous avons comparé les lexiques issus de deux ressources orales collectées dans la région de Florence : le Corpus stammerjohann (1965) et un échantillonnage du corpus lablita (enregistrements postérieurs à 2000). Le caractère pan-italianisant de la langue parlée à Florence a été évalué au moyen d'une annotation parallèle de ces corpus réalisée par deux linguistes italiens, originaires respectivement du nord et du sud de l'Italie. Les résultats montrent que le pourcentage global de formes régionales dans le discours spontané, bien que généralement limité, a subi une réduction significative au cours des dernières décennies, tandis que le lexique de haute fréquence est resté plus stable.
Alla ricerca di dispositivi socio organizzativi per qualificazione dei servizi sanitari e sociali: un contributo riflessivo sull’esperienza osservata

Questo testo contempla la riflessione presentata alla fine della “Fiera degli strumenti: metodologie per la qualificazione dei servizi e delle organizzazioni sanitarie e sociali”, realizzata in febbraio 2018, all’interno del Laboratorio Italo-Brasiliano di Formazione, Ricerca e Pratiche in Salute Collettiva, avvenuto nello spazio formativo dell’ex ospedale psichiatrico "Francesco Roncati", oggi sede dell’Azienda Unità Sanitaria Locale di Bologna, Servizio Sanitario Regionale Emilia-Romagna, Bologna/Italia. La “Fiera degli Strumenti” pretendeva mettere in gioco diversi strumenti di “formazione situata”. I presentatori portavano una strategia tra quelle usate nei loro propri progetti di formazione in servizio, e le avrebbero offerto a partecipanti “esploratori” delle loro possibilità, cioè, userebbero la strategia, non come una “lezione frontale”, ma come “azione sperimentale”.

Methods for quantitative measurement of tooth wear using the area and volume of virtual model cusps

Clinicians must examine tooth wear to make a proper diagnosis. However, qualitative methods of measuring tooth wear have many disadvantages. Therefore, this study aimed to develop and evaluate quantitative parameters using the cusp area and volume of virtual dental models.The subjects of this study were the same virtual models that were used in our former study. The same age group classification and new tooth wear index (NTWI) scoring system were also reused. A virtual occlusal plane was generated with the highest cusp points and lowered vertically from 0.2 to 0.8 mm to create offset planes. The area and volume of each cusp was then measured and added together. In addition to the former analysis, the differential features of each cusp were analyzed.The scores of the new parameters differentiated the age and NTWI groups better than those analyzed in the former study. The Spearman ρ coefficients between the total area and the area of each cusp also showed higher scores at the levels of 0.6 mm (0.6A) and 0.8A. The mesiolingual cusp (MLC) showed a statistically significant difference (P<0.01) from the other cusps in the paired t-test. Additionally, the MLC exhibited the highest percentage of change at 0.6A in some age and NTWI groups. Regarding the age groups, the MLC showed the highest score in groups 1 and 2. For the NTWI groups, the MLC was not significantly different in groups 3 and 4. These results support the proposal that the lingual cusp exhibits rapid wear because it serves as a functional cusp.Although this study has limitations due to its cross-sectional nature, it suggests better quantitative parameters and analytical tools for the characteristics of cusp wear.
Identification of organic material in Los Buitres 1 rock art shelter, Badajoz, Spain.

El objetivo de esta investigación ha sido caracterizar la naturaleza química y mineralógica del pigmento empleado en los motivos esquemáticos prehistóricos de la cueva de Los Buitres 1 (Capilla, Badajoz), y tratar de identificar la presencia de materia orgánica en su composición. Para ello se han realizado análisis de espectroscopia Micro-Raman y ATR-FTIR sobre cuatro muestras de pigmento, tres de pigmento rojo y una más también roja, aunque de tonalidad más oscura. Se aplicó la espectroscopia Micro-Raman para determinar la composición mineralógica de las muestras seleccionadas, mientras que el ATR-FTIR se aplicó para determinar la presencia de materia orgánica presente en cada una de ellas. Destacar que las muestras 1 y 2 son casi idénticas y registraron la presencia de montmorillonite. Por su parte, los análisis por ATR-FTIR señalaron la presencia de componentes orgánicos en la muestra 3, mientras que la muestra 4 se caracterizó como ocre oscuro quemado. La comparación con los pigmentos empleados en el arte rupestre esquemático de un abrigo cercano, en donde han sido identificados los mismos componentes orgánicos en similares tipologías figurativas, invita a considerar la posibilidad de que nos encontremos con una suerte de “receta” para preparar el pigmento que debió estar en uso en este territorio durante un periodo cronológico concreto.
A Comparative Study of Fractional Anisotropy Measures and ICH Score in Predicting Functional Outcomes After Intracerebral Hemorrhage

Improved prognostication during the acute phase of intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) could influence goals of care. We investigated the utility of diffusion tensor imaging (DTI)-derived data obtained during the acute phase of ICH in predicting outcome, compared with the ICH score.We measured fractional anisotropy (FA) values in 5 slices below the level of the lesion on the affected and unaffected corticospinal tracts (CST) and in the cerebral peduncles (CPs) in 32 patients with supratentorial ICH who had DTI MRI within 4 days after ictus. We calculated the FA ratio (rFA = FAaffected side/FAunaffected side), and examined the value of the ICH score and rFA in predicting functional outcome assessed by modified Ranking Scale (mRS) at follow-up, using ROC analyses.The rFA values at the CPs level, but not the 5 slices below the lesion, were significantly lower in the group with poor functional outcome (defined as mRS > 2) than in those with good functional outcome (0.96 ± 0.14 vs. 0.99 ± 0.08, p = 0.025). The ICH score had greater areas under ROC curve in predicting functional outcome compared to the mean rFA (AUC 0.74 vs. 0.44; p = 0.01 for mRS > 2; and 0.84 vs. 0.40; p < 0.001 for mRS > 3).The prognostic value of the ICH score surpassed that of DTI-derived data during the acute phase of ICH in this cohort of patients. Prospective and larger studies are needed to validate our findings and to assess the prognostic role of various DTI-derived measures at different times following ICH.
Canopy Temperature Efficiency as Indicators for Drought Tolerance in Durum Wheat (Triticum Durum Desf.) in Semi Arid Conditions

Durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) is one of the more widely cultivated crops in the Mediterranean basin, where drought is the main abiotic stress limiting its production. This study was conducted on the experimental site of station ITGC in Setif, Algeria. The objectives of this study were (i) to determine differences in canopy temperature (CT) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) of different durum wheat under both well-watered and moisture stressed conditions and (ii) to correlate canopy temperature (CT) and canopy temperature depression (CTD) with drought resistance indices value and yield of durum wheat (Triticum durum Desf.) under both conditions. The results of study showed a significant difference between CT and CTD under both conditions and among genotypes. Under dryland conditions, grain yield and mean CTD were correlated positively (r = 0.32**), this correlation is similar to other studies (Blum et al., 1989; Royo et al., 2002). Similar results of correlation between canopy temperature (CT), canopy temperature depression (CTD) and grain yield suggest that the use of CT and CTD in screening for highly tolerant varieties to drought is similar. The significant correlation of CT and CTD with Mean productivity (MP) and Stress tolerance index (STI) suggests that CTD and/or CT can be favorite selection criteria in plant breeding for drought tolerance.

Multi-Site organic-inorganic hybrid catalysts for multi-step chemical processes

The main goal of MULTI2HYCAT is to design, obtain proof of concept (2 gr.) and upscale in a pre-pilot reactor (20-50 gr.) a new class of hierarchically-porous organic-inorganic hybrid materials, which will be used as active catalysts to carry out multi-step asymmetric catalytic processes with predominantly high conversions (up to 90%) and selectivity (in the range of 80-90%) towards the desired final products. The project promises to solve, for the first time, the low conversion and selectivity of current organosiliceous solids, while at the same time improving the flexibility and versatility and reducing costs of the obtained catalysts, making them attractive for a wide range of industrial applications. To this end, during the project, these novel catalysts will be demonstrated for specialty chemical and pharmaceutical applications, as a concrete prime-mover for subsequent replication.
The MULTI2HYCAT project will contribute to the implementation of the EU policies and Directives on competitiveness and sustainability (e.g. Circular Economy Strategy and Resource Efficiency), through the validation of novel concepts in hybrid materials design for heterogeneous catalysis. This includes the preparation and validation of innovative hierarchical porous organic-inorganic materials with several active sites (organocatalysts) perfectly located in specific structural positions in their framework which will be used as single-solid reusable hybrid active catalyst to carry out multi-step catalytic processes. The new material will allow avoiding the extra-efforts associated with isolation of intermediate products, wastes and solvents elimination and purification processes thus enabling more efficient and sustainable catalytic routes from the economic, energetic as well as the environmental points of view.
Compreendendo padrões regionais da morfologia urbana no Brasil.

O objetivo central do trabalho é problematizar as novas formas urbanas que se consolidaram no âmbito regional, no Brasil, a partir das políticas públicas federais das últimas três décadas. Teoricamente o texto demonstra a disputa no campo conceitual entre os modelos de lugar central e cidade-região e suas reverberações no debate nacional. Metodologicamente as análises estão baseadas nos resultados das pesquisas sobre investimentos em infraestrutura urbana (saneamento, mobilidade e habitação) e em desenvolvimento regional ocorridos entre 1990 e 2019, na escala nacional. Os objetos de análise são os centros e concentrações urbanas, os eixos de circulação e os arranjos sub-regionais proporcionados pelo planejamento federal desse período. Os resultados apontam para tendências de reestruturação territorial em curso que sem abandonar os polos como formas urbanas do desenvolvimento, avançam para nós urbanos, faixas urbanizadas e tessitura territorial como as novas formas urbanas que buscam responder à reestruturação produtiva global por funções inseridas num processo de urbanização regional. Conclusivamente, o texto retoma essas funções da cidade contemporânea consolidando a discussão sobre centralidade, circulação e integração por uma visão epistemológica e histórica. E comprova a importância em reconhecer as materialidades do território para tensionar os atuais paradigmas do campo urbano.
Spatial distribution and sources of perfluorochemicals in the NW Mediterranean coastal waters (Catalonia, Spain)

This study provides the first evidence of the sources and loads of perfluorochemicals (PFCs) to the NW Mediterranean Sea. Five PFCs were analyzed in 45 seawater samples collected along the Catalan coast. Total PFCs ranged from 0.07 to 13.0 ng/l, being the levels higher in ports than in coastal waters. To determine the sources of PFCs, 8 wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) effluents and 6 rivers discharging to the sea were also analyzed. WWTP effluents contained total PFCs levels ranging from 3.47 to 132 ng/l but due to the relatively low discharge flows, they contributed to 34.7 g/d to the sea. Total PFCs in rivers ranged from 2.24 to 21.9 ng/l and were the principal PFCs contributors to the sea. Overall, a total load of 190 g/d of PFCs are discharged to the NW Mediterranean coast. The effects and risk of PFCs discharges to the Mediterranean basin are discussed.
Qualitative assessment of bioethanol production sustainability applying the GBEP methodology: a comparative case between coconut husks and sugarcane bagasse

The conventional production of bioethanol takes place through sugar cane processing. Given that Brazil generates abundant lignocellulosic residues, other bioethanol production routes from residual biomasses have been increasingly considered. In this context, this study aimed to assess the sustainability of two second-generation bioethanol (E2G) production routes, one from sugarcane bagasse and the other from coconut husks. To this end, nine indicators proposed by the GBEP (Global Bioenergy Partnership) methodology, namely GHG emissions, non-GHG emissions, water use and efficiency, income changes, bioenergy sector jobs, incidence of occupational injuries, illnesses and deaths, productivity, net energy balance and increased gross value from bioenergy production, were applied. Following the two bioethanol production route assessments through indicator application, a conclusive graphic outlook was constructed to identify the most sustainable route. The sugarcane bagasse production route derives from the Iogen technology and is employed at Raízen's Costa Pinto Plant, which produces this biofuel on an industrial scale, while the coconut husk production route is currently being improved on a bench scale. The indicator analysis demonstrates that, despite the coconut husk route exhibiting greater social sustainability, with better employee remuneration and less frequent injuries, illnesses and occupational deaths, the sugarcane bagasse route shows greater environmental and economic sustainability, due to lower GHG emissions and water extraction, besides higher productivity, and higher net production income. Therefore, the comparative analysis produced by applying the GBEP methodology demonstrates that the sugarcane bagasse route is the most sustainable regarding the production of second-generation bioethanol.

Effects of Perturbations to Balance on Neuromechanics of Fast Changes in Direction during Locomotion

This study investigated whether the modular control of changes in direction while running is influenced by perturbations to balance. Twenty-two healthy men performed 90° side-step unperturbed cutting manoeuvres while running (UPT) as well as manoeuvres perturbed at initial contact (PTB, 10 cm translation of a moveable force platform). Surface EMG activity from 16 muscles of the supporting limb and trunk, kinematics, and ground reaction forces were recorded. Motor modules composed by muscle weightings and their respective activation signals were extracted from the EMG signals by non-negative matrix factorization. Knee joint moments, co-contraction ratios and co-contraction indexes (hamstrings/quadriceps) and motor modules were compared between UPT and PTB. Five motor modules were enough to reconstruct UPT and PTB EMG activity (variance accounted for UPT = 92 ± 5%, PTB = 90 ± 6%). Moreover, higher similarities between muscle weightings from UPT and PTB (similarity = 0.83 ± 0.08) were observed in comparison to the similarities between the activation signals that drive the temporal properties of the motor modules (similarity = 0.71 ± 0.18). In addition, the reconstruction of PTB EMG from fixed muscle weightings from UPT resulted in higher reconstruction quality (82 ± 6%) when compared to reconstruction of PTB EMG from fixed activation signals from UPT (59 ± 11%). Perturbations at initial contact reduced knee abduction moments (7%), as well as co-contraction ratio (11%) and co-contraction index (12%) shortly after the perturbation onset. These changes in co-contraction ratio and co-contraction index were caused by a reduced activation of hamstrings that was also verified in the activation signals of the specific motor module related to initial contact. Our results suggested that perturbations to balance influence modular control of cutting manoeuvres, especially the temporal properties of muscle recruitment, due to altered afferent inputs to the motor patterns. Furthermore, reduced knee stability during perturbed events may be related to overall control of lower limb muscles.
Preventing Information Loss in Incremental Model Synchronization by Reusing Elements

AbstractThe development of complex mechatronic systems requires the close collaboration of multiple engineering disciplines. Hence, multidisciplinary system engineering approaches have been developed. However, the refinement of discipline-specific aspects of the system, for example the implementation of software controllers, still requires discipline-specific models and tools. During the development, changes in these discipline-specific models may affect other disciplines’ models. Thus, inconsistencies are likely to occur, leading to increased development time and costs if they remain undetected. Bidirectional model synchronization techniques aim at automatically resolving such inconsistencies. Existing synchronization algorithms today, however, fail in this application scenario, because synchronization steps often unnecessarily destroy and re-create elements, which damages parts of the models that are not subject to the synchronization. In order to solve these issues, we present a novel synchronization technique based on Triple Graph Grammars with improvements regarding the reuse of model elements.KeywordsIncremental Model SynchronizationMechatronic System DesignTriple Graph Grammars (TGG)Information Retainment in the Target
