Advanced aeroacoustic processing techniques

Airbus is currently conducting various experimental studies, dealing with installing microphones on the fuselage, on the wall of a wind tunnel test section or on specific microphone supports on the flow, in order to record the sounds emitted by each aircraft component (i.e. engine, wing etc.). In either case, microphone measurements are polluted by hydrodynamic noise, which hampers the correct assessment of acoustic signals emitted from aircraft components, thus leading to very low signal-to-noise ratio.
A few methods exist today that can eliminate hydrodynamic noise from acoustic signals. However, the efficacy  of these methods strongly depends on various parameters, such as signal-to-noise-ratio, number of microphones, number of incoherent sources etc. No systematic study has been performed so far to assess the parameter boundaries within which acceptable results are obtained (e.g. within 0.5 dB error for example).
The ADAPT consortium will improve and optimize the ability of identifying sources emitted by aircraft components by using the most effective techniques out of the three proposed approaches in the call for proposal. These three approaches are: aeroacoustic source separation, de-noising techniques based on cyclostationarity and aeroacoustic sources localization.
Through these three approaches, the ADAPT project aims at delivering to AIRBUS a tool dedicated to separating airframe and engine noise components (tonal, broadband cyclostationary components in particular) from hydrodynamic pressure noise and identifying these sources in space, satisfying various technical and economical requirements that will be discussed out with AIRBUS at the beginning of the project.
Introduction of the circular economy within developing regions: A comparative analysis of advantages and opportunities for waste valorization

The introduction of effective solid waste management strategies in developing countries should be considered for improving sustainability at global level. Many barriers should be overcome, concerning the introduction of environmental policies, effective investments, social inclusion and public awareness, which are significant issues in low-middle income countries. The Circular Economy could represent the answer for improving current solid waste management activities worldwide, since denote the principle of waste valorization and recycling for boosting developing economies. This paper is focused on this theme, analyzing main opportunities for improving the current state of solid waste management in developing big cities. The solid waste management of two countries are reviewed: Romania is the emerging country where Circular Economy is becoming a future objective due to economic aids and strength regulations which the European Union (EU) established for the nations forming parts the alliance; as a comparison, Bolivia is reported for evaluating main differences founded for developing recycling systems in a no-EU country. These two case studies could be of interest for highlighting main pros and cons of the participation into a wide organization like the EU for introducing in short terms Circular Economy principles. Moreover, a theoretical Circular Economy model for developing big cities in low-middle income countries is described within the study for effectively comparing which chances can spread for these countries as regard municipal solid waste exploitation. Despite the economic level, Romania and Bolivia are both facing with many solid waste management issues although in different magnitude. For the Romanian case study, it is visible how it cannot achieve the European goals for 2020 due the need of change in public recycling behavior. Bolivia, instead, represents the case where international aids and new investments are required, considering the informal sector into the formal management system as a real opportunity for improving local recycling rate. In conclusion, the comparison suggests how external supports led to implement the principles of the Circular Economy within a developing region. The model of Circular Economy proposed is recommended for developing big cities in order to advance a new form of safe employment, encouraging the activities that are still in action (i.e. informal sector) and boosting the principles of sustainable development.
Budapest Declaration

The International Association for Dental Research (IADR) Global Oral Health Inequalities Research Agenda (IADR-GOHIRA®) was established in 2010 by IADR, with the endorsement and support of the World Health Organization (WHO) and the World Dental Federation (FDI). Its origins included the formation of six expert task force groups in different disciplines whose expert reports on oral health inequalities were published in Advances in Dental Research in May 2011. At the IADR General Session in June 2012, the resulting Network (Global Oral Health Inequalities Research Network, GOHIRN) was approved by the IADR Council and had its first symposium at the IADR General Session in Seattle in March 2013. At the World Congress on Preventive Dentistry (WCPD) in Budapest in October 2013, the Network convened a successful Workshop preceded by “A Call to Action” (Sgan-Cohen et al., 2013), from which the Budapest Declaration emerged. The key objectives of the Network include advocacy, stimulation, promotion and fostering of inter-sectoral collaborative research on oral health inequalities, and involving the wider health community.
Unsymmetric meshless methods for operator equations

A general framework for proving error bounds and convergence of a large class of unsymmetric meshless numerical methods for solving well-posed linear operator equations is presented. The results provide optimal convergence rates, if the test and trial spaces satisfy a stability condition. Operators need not be elliptic, and the problems can be posed in weak or strong form without changing the theory. Non-stationary kernel-based trial and test spaces are shown to fit into the framework, disregarding the operator equation. As a special case, unsymmetric meshless kernel-based methods solving weakly posed problems with distributional data are treated in some detail. This provides a foundation of certain variations of the “Meshless Local Petrov-Galerkin” technique of S.N. Atluri and collaborators.

Impact of<i>CYP1A1</i>Polymorphisms on Susceptibility to Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease: A Meta-Analysis

Several studies have evaluated the association between CYP1A1 polymorphisms and the susceptibility of chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) with inconclusive results. We performed the first comprehensive meta-analysis to summarize the association between CYP1A1 polymorphisms and COPD risk.A systematic literature search was conducted (up to April 2015) in five online databases: PubMed, EMBASE, China National Knowledge Infrastructure (CNKI), WeiPu, and WanFang databases. The strength of association was calculated by odds ratio (OR) and corresponding 95% confidence interval (CI).Seven case-control studies with 1050 cases and 1202 controls were included. Our study suggested a significant association between the MspI polymorphism and COPD risk (CC versus TC + TT: OR = 1.57, CI: 1.09-2.26, P = 0.02; CC versus TT: OR = 1.73, CI: 1.18-2.55, P = 0.005). For the Ile/Val polymorphism, a significant association with COPD risk was observed (GG versus AG + AA: OR = 2.75, CI: 1.29-5.84, P = 0.009; GG versus AA: OR = 3.23, CI: 1.50-6.93, P = 0.003; AG versus AA: OR = 1.39, CI: 1.01-1.90, P = 0.04). Subgroup analysis indicated a significant association between the MspI variation and COPD risk among Asians (CC versus TC + TT: OR = 1.70, CI: 1.06-2.71, P = 0.03; CC versus TT: OR = 1.84, CI: 1.11-3.06, P = 0.02).The MspI and Ile/Val polymorphisms might alter the susceptibility of COPD, and MspI polymorphism might play a role in COPD risk among Asian population.

Cognitively enhanced robot for flexible manufacturing of metal and composite parts

COROMA project proposes to develop a cognitively enhanced robot that can execute multiple tasks for the manufacturing of metal and composite parts. COROMA will therefore provide the flexibility that European metalworking and advanced material manufacturing companies require to compete in the rapidly evolving global market.

The main output of COROMA project will be a modular robotic system that will perform multitude of different manufacturing tasks in an autonomous way to adapt to the production requirements. The robot will be capable of performing drilling, trimming, deburring, polishing, sanding, non-destructive inspection and adaptive fixturing operations. Using a simple interface the robot will receive basic commands that require a minimum programming effort from the human operator. The robot will autonomously navigate in the workshop and will automatically perceive the manufacturing scene and locate the part that must be manufactured and even handle some of the required tools. Learning from previous experiences during displacement, tool grasping, part localisation and the manufacturing process itself, the robot will improve its performance. It will be able to interact with other machines in the shop floor and to work on a part even while other manufacturing operations are being performed by these other machines. Safe human-robot and machine-robot collaborations will be paramount and the robot will automatically react to the presence of both humans and other machines. The modularity of the COROMA robot will permit to customize it to meet specific requirements from different manufacturing companies.

These challenges require a project consortium where the latest robotic technologies meet knowledge from manufacturing experts, including both industry and academia. COROMA project consortium presents a perfect balance between manufacturing and robotics sectors' players.

El libro en la pantalla: hacia un nuevo ensayo en el siglo XXI con la escritura y edición digital

espanolLos nuevos espacios de la publicacion digital ofrecen oportunidades hasta ahora ineditas para la edicion textual y el desarrollo de obras de pensamiento originales. En consecuencia, se generan nuevas textualidades que se nutren de las posibilidades del “paradigma pantalla” de la misma manera que las obras de creacion literaria han sacado provecho de la esfera digital. Para analizar los pasos que se han dado hasta el momento en la edicion digital de textos literarios originarios del “regimen impreso” estudiaremos las diferentes aproximaciones que se han llevado a cabo en soportes como la web o con aplicaciones especificas, prestando especial atencion a referentes universales como El Quijote o The Waste Land. El campo del pensamiento intelectual no estaria completo sin abarcar nuevos discursos que reflejan la estructura rizomatica de la red, como en Los estilitas de la sociedad tecnologica. Se revisa, por tanto, el uso de los recursos tecnologicos en estos y otros textos para dilucidar las posibilidades de futuro en la edicion textual y en el pensamiento vinculados a las Humanidades Digitales, cubriendo lo hipermedia desde la web hasta las aplicaciones. EnglishThe new spaces of digital publishing offer hitherto unheard of opportunities for textual editing and for the development of original essays. Consequently, new text forms that feed on the possibilities of a “screen paradigm” are generated, in the same way that creative works have taken advantage of the digital sphere in many aspects. In order to analyze the steps taken so far in the digital edition of literary texts originating from the “printed regime”, this paper will study the different approaches that have been carried out in media such as the Web or specific apps, with particular attention to universal references as El Quijote or The Waste Land. The field of intellectual thought would not be complete without including new discourses that reflect the rhizomatic network structure of the Web, such as that of Los estilitas de la sociedad tecnologica. This paper reviews, therefore, the use of technological resources in these and other texts to elucidate future opportunities in textual editing and thought in relation to the Digital Humanities, covering hypermedia from the Web to apps.
The retrofitting market activation platform based on the generation of standard modules for energy efficiency and clean energy solutions

re-MODULEES aims at the creation of an EU-wide “umbrella” framework for EE in existing residential buildings based on the generation of standard modules for the retrofit market activation and up-take. Modularity is to be intended as multi-level: it regards the “breakdown” of the overall retrofit process into standardized segments; and multi-target: it regards their customization according to regional climatic, building, socio-economic and market conditions, in order to shape more effective tools and approaches through which to maximise cost-optimality, positive spillovers and impact. This framework is based on clustering of efforts and evidences, and would allow shaping cross-regional policies, and generating wider homogeneous, integrated and facilitated retrofitting market areas. For this reason, re-MODULEES aims to be a strategic capitalization project which, by leveraging on the wide background of several H2020 projects (as well as from other EU programs), will join and combine knowledge, approaches and tools already available within its clear modular framework, so to optimize their uptake on local markets.
Perovskite-type oxide catalysts for low temperature, anaerobic catalytic partial oxidation of methane to syngas

Abstract The cyclic reaction between CH 4 and O 2 over perovskite-type La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Fe 0.8 Co 0.2 O 3− δ , La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Fe 0.6 Co 0.15 Al 0.25 O 3− δ and La 0.8 Sr 0.2 Fe 0.8 Co 0.2 O 3− δ /γ-AlO(OH), impregnated with 0.5 wt% Rh or Pt, was studied at 873 K. Synchrotron X-ray and neutron diffraction patterns of La 0.75 Sr 0.25 Fe 0.6 Co 0.15 Al 0.25 O 3− δ proved a rhombohedral structure with Al distributed over the octahedral B-site. The oxygen non-stoichiometry ( δ ) was determined by thermogravimetric analysis at 958 K for pO 2  > 10 −22  atm. High selectivity to the partial oxidation products CO and H 2 was observed when 3 −  δ was lower than 2.76 and 2.78 for the mentioned oxides, with and without Al, respectively. The role of Rh relates solely to the activation of CH 4 . A stable high selectivity throughout the pulse sequence was achieved when utilizing partially reduced materials. In situ synchrotron XRD proved that the oxides retained the perovskite structure during the reduction/oxidation cycle, and no phase decomposition occurred. The strong correlation between results from catalytic transient tests and thermogravimetric analysis suggests that the CO selectivity is ruled by the redox potential of the reducible oxide.
Performance of different accessions of Pongamia pinnata.

Pongamia pinnata is one of the most promising tree borne oil seed species. Ten better performing accessions mainly based on fruiting were evaluated. Uniform size semi-hardwood cuttings were made and were treated with IBA @ 600 ppm. The cuttings were measured, after 75 days of planting for root length, shoot length, collar diameter, fresh weight and dry weight. The shoot length, collar diameter, fresh weight and dry weight had shown significant difference between the sources. Broad sense heritability was highest for rooting (99.58%) followed by fresh and dry weight. Fresh weight showed high genetic advance. The sources Mundara (Tikamgarh) and Khadauli (Agra) performed better in terms of dry matter production as well as rooting.

Effects of Observing Eye Contact between a Robot and Another Person

One of the common requirements for a communication robot is to be accepted by humans. Previous work has examined the effects of nonverbal factors on people’s perceptions of robots for such a purpose, but always with a focus on dyadic human–robot interaction; in real human society, however, triadic interaction also plays an important role and should be considered. This paper explores a potential merit offered by the latter form of interaction; specifically, how one form of nonverbal interaction occurring between a robot and humans, eye contact, can be utilized to make the robot appear more acceptable to humans. Experiments are conducted with groups of two humans and an android. One of the humans, the “subject,” is asked to communicate with a second person, the “confederate,” who knows the purpose of the experiment; the confederate’s role is to gaze in such a way that the subject either observes or does not observe eye contact between the confederate and the android. A post-interaction questionnaire reveals that subjects’ impressions toward the robot are influenced by eye contact between the confederate and the robot. Finally, the consistency of the experimental results is discussed in terms of Heider’s balance theory, and future extensions of this research are proposed.
Winter Burst of Pristine Kashmir Valley Air

The Kashmir Valley in India is one of the world's major tourist attractions and perceived as a pristine environment. Long term monitoring of fine particulate matter, PM2.5 (particles having aerodynamic diameter of 2.5 μm or less), responsible for deteriorating human health, has been done for the period 2013-14. Results indicate that air quality of the capital city Srinagar (34.1°N, 74.8°E) deteriorates significantly in particular during winter, where level of PM2.5 touches a peak value of 348 μg/m³ against the Indian permissible limit of 60 μg/m³. The emissions due to domestic coal usage are found to be 1246.4 tons/yr, which accounts for 84% of the total annual emissions. The on-line high-resolution weather research and forecasting model with embedded chemistry module (WRF-Chem), which accounts for emission inventory developed in this region reproduced the seasonal variability reasonably well. Cold temperatures with dry conditions along with elevated level of biofuel emissions from domestic sector are found to be the major processes responsible for winter period particulate pollution. The back trajectories show that westerly winds originating from Afghanistan and surrounding areas also contribute to the high PM2.5 levels.
Environmental vulnerability assessment of eco-development zone of Great Himalayan National Park, Himachal Pradesh, India

The Great Himalayan National Park (GHNP), located in western Himalaya, is a key mountainous ecosystem prone to environmental vulnerability because of anthropogenic stress and the natural disasters, viz., landslide and forest fire. We assessed the environmental vulnerability of the eco-development zone of GHNP using remote sensing (RS) and geographic information system (GIS) technologies. To quantify the environmental vulnerability, a numerical model using spatial principal component analysis (SPCA) was developed. This model considered five factors: land use/land cover, forest canopy density, forest fire risk, landslide susceptibility and human population density. The environmental vulnerability integrated index (EVSI) calculated for the 1990, 2000 and 2010 periods was found to be 2.00, 2.72, and 3.40, respectively. The results showed temporal increase in the environmental vulnerability in the zone. Based on the numerical outputs, the vulnerability of the region was categorized into five classes: potential, slight, medium, high, and severe. The primary factor responsible for the increase in vulnerability overtime was land use/land cover change in the study area due to hydro-electric power projects, construction of roads, and other infrastructure developments. Forest fire and decreased forest canopy density are other major contributing factors responsible for the increase in the environmental vulnerability. Our results indicated that integration of RS, GIS and SPCA can effectively quantify and assess environmental vulnerability.
Combining ability studies in early and mid-maturity CMS based cauliflower lines

The general and specific combining ability was studied in early and mid maturity CMS based lines through line x tester analysis involving two CMS lines in each maturity group along with 6 and 9 testers for early and mid maturity group, respectively. The combining ability analysis revealed highly significant differences among genotypes for all the characters studied. The tester 23000 in early and line 8410–22 and tester 754 of mid group showed significantly negative GCA effect for earliness to curd initiation, whereas lines 8498-2 and 8410–22 were best combiners for marketable curd weight in early and mid group, respectively. Cross combinations 8498-2 x Sl-71 and 8409-309 × SL-1-2 were identified as best specific combinations for earliness amongst early and midseason CMS based lines.
