New generations

The “New generations” project aims at providing scope for manoeuvre for the new generations of artists who are completing their studies at the Accademia di Belle Arti in Venice and the Academy of Fine Arts in Ljubljana, or who have just finished their training and are gradually emerging in the world of art. This project organizes monthly events, i.e. one evening during which every author illustrates his/her work with a performance or showing a video. Two events are envisaged for every author; in Venice they take place in the A+A Gallery, and in Slovenia they are held in Ljubljana - Škuc and Modern Galleries - and in the Coastal galleries of Piran - Pirano. At the end of the programme, an exhibition gathers the best authors of the two countries, first in Venice and then in Piran - Pirano, and a round table is organized with artists, editors and chairmen of several institutions to debate the problems of the young authors in the two countries. The project aims at fostering cultural exchanges which involve young artists in particular, but also the institutions operating in this cultural sector in the two countries, in order to provide the new generations with wide scope for manoeuvre and to create longlasting relationships.
Diverse topologies of six coordination polymers constructed from a tris(4-imidazolylphenyl)amine ligand and different carboxylates

In this article, six new coordination polymers, namely, [Zn(Tipa)(L1)]·H2O (1), [Zn2(Tipa)(L2)(μ2-O)]·2H2O (2), [Zn2(Tipa)(L3)]·3.5H2O (3), [Mn(Tipa)(L2)]·H2O (4), [Cu4(Tipa)4(L4)2(CH3OH)2(H2O)2]·2(L4)·3(CH3OH)·8(H2O) (5), and Co3(Tipa)2(L4)3 (6), where H2L1 = 1,3-benzenedicarboxylic acid, H3L2 = 1,3,5-benzenetricarboxylic acid, H4L3 = 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic, H2L4 = 1,4-benzenedicarboxylic acid and Tipa = tris(4-imidazolylphenyl)amine, have been synthesized by varying the carboxylates and metals under hydrothermal conditions. Compound 1 shows a 2D → 3D framework with parallel polycatenation of undulated square layers (sql). Compound 2 displays a 3D 3,4-connected (5·62·82·9)(63·72·9)(73)(62·8) topology, while compound 3 reveals a 3D 3,4,6-connected (42·62·7·8)(4·6·83·10)(6·8·10)(44·52·67·7·8)(42·82·102) topology. Compound 4 shows a 2D undulate layer. Compound 5 exhibits an unprecedented 2D → 2D polyrotaxane network with (3,4)-connected (4·52)(4·53·72) topology. Interestingly, the neighboring 2D polyrotaxane sheets are sandwiched by the free L4 ligands. Compound 6 is an unusual example of a 3D 2-fold interpenetrating framework with polyrotaxane feature. The effects of the carboxylates and metals have been elucidated. The IR spectra, elemental analyses and luminescent properties for the compounds have also been investigated.

Functional reconversion of the Fernetti customs inspection area for transport vehicles, in keeping with the new customs provisions, with special regard to the setting up of Fernetti - Sežana Logistic Platform at the time of Slovenian entry into the Europ

As is known, the project for the functional reconversion of the border customs inspection areas is deemed necessary in view of the entry of the Republic of Slovenia in the European Union and in light of the new customs provisions. The project falls within this framework and aims at the creation of the Fernetti - Sežana Logistic Platform, i.e. a single Italian - Slovenian loading yard, equipped with two perfectly interconnected “import” and “export” sections, that will considerably reduce operating time. From a technical point of view, the project is divided in two phases, main and complementary works. As regards the latter, the actions envisaged are aimed at upgrading the railway junction and the installation of an access ramp for lorries, to ensure road/rail intermodality, the acquisition of a forklift truck allowing, furthermore, the lifting of containers on site, in place of the slide ramp used to load lorries onto the railroad carriages. Complementary works also include the enlargement of the workshop and of the locomotive hangar from 300 to 700 sq.m.
The plate contact geometry investigation based on earthquake source parameters at the Burma arc subduction zone

Accurately characterizing the three-dimensional geometric contacts between the crust of the Chinese mainland and adjacent regions is important for understanding the dynamics of this part of Asia from the viewpoint of global plate systems. In this paper, a method is introduced to investigate the geometric contacts between the Eurasian and Indian plates at the Burma arc subduction zone using earthquake source parameters based on the Slab1.0 model of Hayes et al. (2009, 2010). The distribution of earthquake focus depths positioned in 166 sections along the Burma Arc subduction zone boundary has been investigated. Linear plane fitting and curved surface fitting has been performed on each section. Three-dimensional geometric contacts and the extent of subduction are defined quantitatively. Finally, the focal depth distribution is outlined for six typical sections along the Burma arc subduction zone, combining focal mechanisms with background knowledge of geologic structure. Possible dynamic interaction patterns are presented and discussed. This paper provides an elementary method for studying the geometric contact of the Chinese mainland crust with adjacent plates and serves as a global reference for dynamic interactions between plates and related geodynamic investigations.
On the material invariant of 110°-conjugate angle of shear bands—Reply to Gomez-Rivas and Griera (2015)

After their experimental data were re-explained in terms of the maximum-effective-moment (MEM) criterion, Gomez-Rivas and Griera (2015) challenge the validity of the MEM-Criterion in terms of shear fractures, which have mixed up with shear fractures and shear bands. The two features are similar in appearance but different in deformation mechanism (s). The MEM-criterion proves that ±55° to σ
 1 are the maximum effective moment directions and the shear bands that formed by material-line (beddings or fabrics) rotation mechanism have a constant conjugate angle of 110°. Theoretically, the 55° or 110° is a material-invariant, and practically, a statistic-invariant or preferred direction with average deviation of ~10°. By this angle, shear bands can be easily recognized from shear fractures with conjugate angle never over 90°. The High-strain deformation in the lozenges usually predates the surrounding shear bands. Two stress states can not coexisted simultaneously in the same place and the resolving σ
 1
 ′
 normal to the related shear zone represents 0–100% deformation partitioning, depending on the original kinematic vorticity of the shear zones.

Effects of Intermittent Exercise on Cardiac Troponin I and Creatine Kinase-MB.

The aim of this study was to examine the influence of high-intensity intermittent exercise and carbohydrate supplementation on cardiac troponin I (cTnI) and creatine kinase-MB (CK-MB) in soccer players.Twelve elite soccer players were selected and divided equally into three groups of carbohydrate (CHO), placebo (P) and control (C). Blood samples were taken in six phases and were analyzed with the chemiluminescence method.Results showed that three bouts of 90-min exercise along with carbohydrate supplementation did not have any significant effect on the level of cTnI indices. However, there was a significant difference in CK-MB values after the second and third sessions compared with the first day (P < 0.05).In summary, exercises with less duration and intensity like soccer do not seem to be effective on cTnI and CK-MB. When the overall intensity of exercise was moderate, it appeared that carbohydrate supplementation had less effect on the alteration of biochemical markers of the myocardial muscle.
Wireless surgical nerve monitoring system

There is a strong demand for support tools that help surgeons avoid the accidental damage of nerves, which too frequently occurs during surgery. 

The existing solution known as IntraOperative Neuromonitoring (ION) uses an amplifier, stimulator and a set of electrodes to test the propagation of electrical signals by a specific nerve while operating. Not surprisingly, the use of ION is being considered by surgical teams of virtually all specialties. The market size of ION, including the sales of ION equipment and associated supplies (mostly electrodes), surpassed the €1 milliard mark in 2016 and a CAGR of 9% is forecast for 2017.

And yet the strong willingness to invest in ION by clinical customers is in stark contrast to the relative rudimentary technology offered by existing products.  Particularly harsh criticism by surgeons relates to connectivity in the Operating Room.

In an already wire-crowded OR, surgical teams seeking to continuously monitor a nerve at risk, are asked to hook an electrode to the nerve and operate for hours while attempting not to inadvertently swing or pull the cable, and as a result damage the nerve that was to be protected by ION in the first place.

This market opportunity can now be tackled with a wireless approach to ION, our experience in the development of electrodes, amplifiers and stimulators and recently developed miniaturized low-power RF electronics.

In this Phase I project we wish to focus on a feasibility study to establish the customer-driven system specifications, acceptable end-customer price range, desirable distributor list price and sales forecast as well as IPR freedom-to-operate. Going forward these data will inform our Business Plan in the ongoing fundraising process prior to Phase II.
Simulation-Assisted minimally invasive cancer treatment using the gosmart environment

The objective of this proposal is to assess the potential for commercialisation of an innovative cloud-based software product which will assist interventional radiologists to perform minimally invasive cancer treatments more successfully. There are different approaches to removing tumours in organs (i.e. the liver, kidney and lung) and each has its own advantages and disadvantages, depending on the size and location of the tumour. Minimally invasive cancer treatments offer clear advantages as the procedures are targeted and much less intrusive compared to surgical resection. However, the procedure can be very technical, as the radiologist must understand how the settings of the device affect the heat transfer in the localised region surrounding the tumour. Our software product will bridge this gap and help the radiologist understand how to best perform the treatment within a virtual environment with no risk to the patient. This will bring benefits to the radiological community through more accurate treatments, will make the procedures more efficient and cost-effective, and will reduce the hospital carbon footprint through more integrated collaboration and reduced travel. In addition, as it is web-based, it will help to integrate the global interventional oncology community, providing less experienced clinicians in developing countries with a user-friendly environment to work with their more experienced colleagues on a global basis. During this project, we will enhance our simulation environment and refine our growth projections for the first 8 years on the market. We will also analyse the market needs and define the regulatory requirements for patient data sharing and use of the software in the clinical environment. This information will assist us to understand the most efficient route to bring the software to the market.

PRONAF:Programa Nacional de Fortalecimento da Agricultura Familiar fazendo mais do mesmo no Brasil?

El propósito de este artículo es discutir, como el PRONAF (Programa Nacional de Fortalecimiento de la Agricultura familiar) mientras que es una política púbica de "Fortalecimiento de la Agricultura Familiar" ha contribuido para el aumento de la producción de mercancías (commodities para exportación) en zonas predominantes de agricultores familiares. Para tanto, fue realizado una investigación en áreas de agricultura familiar no norte do Rio Grande do Sul nos anos de 2017-18. Donde, analizaran algunas consideraciones sobre la estructura agraria, así como los datos de aumento de la productividad y el área utilizada en la producción de los principales cultivos de exportación en los años 2000-2018. E también algunas consideraciones de los entornos rurales cómo este modelo de agricultura ha degradado los ambientes, especialmente con el aumento de las tasas de aplicación de pesticidas a cada año en Río Grande del Sur y Brasil. Como resultados se observó que este modelo basado en la financiación pública significativa ha mantenido la pobreza rural, el endeudamiento y la dependencia de algunas regiones con fuerte producción primaria a expensas de otras regiones más industrializadas. Por último, presentamos una discusión sobre la necesidad de revisar el papel de las políticas públicas que promuevan la seguridad alimentaria, la recuperación y protección del medio ambiente mediante la promoción de la agroecología en zonas con presencia de los agricultores pobres de Brasil.
European regulatory science on tobacco:policy implementation to reduce lung diseases

Smoking and other forms of tobacco consumption are considered the single most important cause of preventable morbidity and premature mortality worldwide. Efforts to reduce the devastation of tobacco-related deaths and illness in the EU consist of the Tobacco Products Directive (TPD), and the ongoing implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (FCTC). The main objective of EUREST-PLUS is to monitor and evaluate the impact of the TPD within the context of FCTC ratification at an EU level. Our 4 specific objectives hence are: 1) To evaluate the psychosocial and behavioral impact of TPD implementation and FCTC implementation, through the creation of a longitudinal cohort of adult smokers in 6 EU MS (Germany, Greece, Hungary, Poland, Romania, Spain; total n=6000) in a pre- vs. post-TPD study design. 2) To assess support for TPD implementation through secondary dataset analyses of the Special Eurobarometer on Tobacco Surveys (SETS), cross-sectional surveys performed among 27,000 adults in all 28 EU MS, before the TPD is implemented and to monitor progress in FCTC implementation in the EU over the past years through trend analyses on the merged datasets of the 2009, 2012 and 2015 SETS datasets (n=80,000). 3) To document changes in e-cigarette product parameters (technical design, labelling/packaging and chemical composition) following implementation of Article 20 of the TPD. 4) To enhance innovative joint research collaborations, through the pooling and comparisons across both other EU countries of the ITC Project (UK, NL, FR), and other non-EU countries . Tackling tobacco use is quintessential to reducing the impact of chronic NCDs, a topic EUREST-PLUS will stride to lead.
Orexin signaling in the paraventricular thalamic nucleus modulates mesolimbic dopamine and hedonic feeding in the rat

Data from our laboratory indicate that the orexin system is involved in the regulation of both conditioned and unconditioned responding for palatable foods. Anticipation of food rewards activates orexin receptor containing neurons within the paraventricular nucleus of the thalamus (PVT). The PVT regulates mesolimbic dopamine neurochemistry through direct connections with the nucleus accumbens and modulates the processing of cognitive-emotional information, suggesting that the PVT may represent a unique brain region with the capacity to mediate orexinergic effects on brain dopamine and behavior. Here, we tested the hypothesis that PVT orexin signaling mediates mesolimbic dopamine and reward-based feeding. To do this we used a behavioral pharmacological approach in tandem with central genetic manipulation of the orexin-1 receptor in the PVT. Data from these studies indicate that orexin-A action in the PVT increases dopamine levels in the nucleus accumbens. In addition, endogenous orexin signaling in the PVT mediates locomotor activity and hedonic feeding responses. Together these data highlight the PVT as a critical site capable of mediating orexin action on brain dopamine and reward-based feeding.
Anycast Routing for Survivable Optical Grids: Scalable Solution Methods and the Impact of Relocation

In this paper, we address the issue of resiliency against single link network failures in optical grids and show how the anycast routing principle, which is typical of grids, can be exploited in providing efficient shared path protection. We investigate two different integer linear program models for the full anycast routing problem, deciding on the primary and backup server locations as well as on the lightpaths toward them. The first model is a classical integer linear programming (ILP) model, which lacks scalability. The second model is a large-scale optimization model which can be efficiently solved using column generation techniques. We also design two new heuristics: the first one is an improvement of a previously proposed one which, although providing near optimal solutions, lacks scalability, while the second one is highly scalable, at the expense of reduced accuracy. Numerical results are presented for three mesh networks with varying node degrees. They allow an illustration of the scalability of the newly proposed approaches. Apart from highlighting the difference in performance (i.e., scalability and optimality) among the algorithms, our case studies demonstrate the bandwidth savings that can be achieved by exploiting relocation rather than using a backup path to the original (failure-free) destination site. Numerical results for varying network topologies, as well as different numbers of server sites show that relocation allows bandwidth savings in the range of 7-21%.
Unawareness of bipolar disorder: the role of the cingulate cortex

Reduced awareness of illness is a well-known phenomenon that has been understudied in remitted patients with bipolar disorder. In particular, the relationship between reduced awareness and executive dysfunction is an intriguing question that has yet to be resolved. The aim of the current study is to analyze the link between reduced awareness, brain dysfunction, and concomitant cognitive-behavioral disturbances from a neurocognitive perspective. In previous studies, we demonstrated the role of the anterior cingulate cortex (ACC) in the unawareness of distinct pathologies that exhibit overlapping symptoms in the context of overlapping circuit-specific dysfunction. Given the clinical importance of the results obtained, the present study considers six aware and four unaware remitted bipolar disorder patients. Cingulate functionality was assessed with functional magnetic resonance imaging while patients performed a go/no-go task. Patients were also studied on an overall cognitive task battery and with behavioral assessment of mood changes in terms of apathy and disinhibited behavior. Unaware patients showed frontoparietal hypo-perfusion, with a significant reduction of task-sensitive activity in the bilateral superior and middle frontal gyrus, putamen, insular, and ACCs.
Research and Implementation of PLC Communication Network Based onCAN

Field bus is an industrial data bus which has developed rapidly in recent years. It is mainly used to solve digital communications among field equipments and message passing between field equipments and executive control systems. CAN bus is a kind of serial communication network supporting distributed control and real-time control effectively, and it applies double serial communication mode and has good error-detecting capacity, which makes it can work in high-noise or jammed environments and has higher reliability. The paper proposes PLC communication network scheme based on CAN bus. The scheme configures a RS232-CAN gateway on upper computer PC and each PLC to make upper computer PC and PLC have the ability of CAN bus communication for creating PLC communication network based on CAN bus. PLC network created by the scheme not only can realize centralized monitoring of PC on several PLCs and direct com- munication among PLCs, but also has higher cost and higher ability of system extension.
