“Somos una misma historia”: la militancia musical de Inti-Illimani en su exilio italiano

En este trabajo nos centraremos en un caso de circulación representativo del global turn: el exilio en Italia del grupo chileno Inti-Illimani. A parte de su gira musical, el grupo también se encontraba en Italia por una motivación política: promocionar al gobierno de la Unidad Popular liderado por Salvador Allende. Esta motivación se verá truncada por el golpe de estado a manos de la junta militar encabezada por Augusto Pinochet. Así, lo que había comenzado como un viaje de pocos meses, se convertirá en un exilio de varios años en el país europeo. La militancia musical hará cercano lo distante, dando a conocer en Italia lo que sucedía en Chile, contribuyendo así al desarrollo de redes de solidaridad. Los italianos, por su parte, se apropiarán de estas canciones para expresar sus anhelos y preocupaciones, lo que influirá en el quehacer político y social italiano, así como también en las formas mismas de hacer música. A partir de un rastreo de prensa y de un análisis de los álbumes publicados en el exilio entre 1973-1978 se mostrará cómo la música es capaz de conectar realidades políticas diferentes, pero de cierta manera cercanas, propias de un mundo cada vez más interconectado.
QoS by Multiple Cluster Head Gateway Approach in Mobile Ad Hoc Network

Mobile Ad Hoc Network consists of dynamic topology as nodes in the network are mobile, and connected wirelessly. Nodes communicate outside the cluster through a centralized node that is called a Cluster Head Gateway (CHG) [1]. MANET is a dynamic multi-hop network, which is established by a group of mobile nodes on a shared wireless channel. The shared medium and the multi-hop nature of the wireless ad hoc networks pose fundamental challenges to the design of an effective resource allocation algorithm to maximize the aggregated utility of flows, maintaining basic fairness among the multiple flows. An elected Cluster Head Gateway (CHG) is assigned for communication with all other clusters. The centralized Cluster Head Gateway can become a bottleneck and possibly cause a lower efficiency for the clustering system. In this paper we propose a mechanism in which communication outside the cluster is distributed through separate Cluster Head Gateways. We will discuss how the overall averaged efficiency for the clustering system increases considerably. We also show that the increase in overall averaged efficiency is by the increase/add Cluster Head Gateways. Additionally, the routing reliability to outside the cluster is increased since routes to different clusters use distinct Cluster Head Gateways.
Antidot-dependent bandgap and Clar sextets in graphene antidot lattices

Abstract By using first-principles calculations, the bandgap of two types of graphene antidot lattices (GALs) with triangular lattice, anthrancene-removed GALs and phenanthrene-removed GALs, have been studied. One third of either GALs are semiconductors as lattice parameter varies, while the lattice parameters corresponding to semiconductors are different in the two GALs, indicating the bandgap opening of GALs depends on the antidot configuration as well as lattice parameter. The bandgap opening or not is interpreted with Clar's aromatic sextet theory. A nonzero bandgap appears in phenanthrene-removed GALs, only when the number of Clar sextets exceeds one third of the total number of hexagons in the unit cell. However, due to a long zigzag edge existing in anthrancene-removed GALs, the bandgap can be open without meeting the condition. Our results suggest that the antidot configuration is a non negligible factor on the bandgap of graphene antidot lattices.

Enzymatic Synthesis of Therapeutic Nucleosides using a Highly Versatile Purine Nucleoside 2’‐DeoxyribosylTransferase from<i>Trypanosoma brucei</i>

The use of enzymes for the synthesis of nucleoside analogues offers several advantages over multistep chemical methods, including chemo-, regio- and stereoselectivity as well as milder reaction conditions. Herein, the production, characterization and utilization of a purine nucleoside 2’-deoxyribosyltransferase (PDT) from Trypanosoma brucei are reported. TbPDT is a dimer which displays not only excellent activity and stability over a broad range of temperatures (50–70 °C), pH (4–7) and ionic strength (0–500 mM NaCl) but also an unusual high stability under alkaline conditions (pH 8–10). TbPDT is shown to be proficient in the biosynthesis of numerous therapeutic nucleosides, including didanosine, vidarabine, cladribine, fludarabine and nelarabine. The structure-guided replacement of Val11 with either Ala or Ser resulted in variants with 2.8-fold greater activity. TbPDT was also covalently immobilized on glutaraldehyde-activated magnetic microspheres. MTbPDT3 was selected as the best derivative (4200 IU/g, activity recovery of 22 %), and could be easily recaptured and recycled for >25 reactions with negligible loss of activity. Finally, MTbPDT3 was successfully employed in the expedient synthesis of several nucleoside analogues. Taken together, our results support the notion that TbPDT has good potential as an industrial biocatalyst for the synthesis of a wide range of therapeutic nucleosides through an efficient and environmentally friendly methodology.
Low-Cost / energy efficient oleds for lighting

LEO ambitions innovative manufacturing concept & routes towards high performance bendable and low cost OLEDs for general and mood lighting, merging conventional and proven technologies with disruptive approaches (e.g. substrate, architecture, hybrid processing, layouts). R&D activities will be ramped-up from lab scale feasibility to pilot line scale demonstration, delivering show off lighting systems with the help of external lighting manufacturers (Artemide, Technology Luminaires). The project targets the introduction of novel materials combinations (conformable & functionalized metallic substrate, Indium free electrodes and solution-processable organic materials) in large area colour tuneable top emission white OLEDs. Besides dry processing of large area tandem stacks (> 500 cm2), a novel hybrid process flow will be set-up whereby stacks will be wet processed up to the 1st emitting layer prior device completion by dry processing. With common and innovative building blocks (substrate with integrated interconnecting, 80 % transparent top electrode, 1E-6 g/m²/day WVTR scratch resistant thin film encapsulation, 50 % out-coupling efficiency), these two complementary approaches will lead to demonstrations of large area warm/cold white macro-pixels and hybrid full colours RGB OLEDs. LEO will address cost reduction at materials and process levels which represent more than 80% of the total cost of OLED lighting devices, according to a recent study. Leverage will be sought at mostly all layers of the stack with cost impacts at materials, device and system scales. In order to combine necessary and complementary capacities to reach its ambitious goals, LEO has gathered all stakeholders of the OLED lighting device fabrication value chain (except equipment supplier), including substrate and organic materials suppliers (AC&CS, Cynora), an OLED manufacturer (OSRAM OLED) and recognized research centres in the field of OLEDs and life cycle analysis (CEA, CNR, Gaiker).
Health regulation by the gut microbiota in the honey bee

When feeding on plants, animals ingest non-nutritive compounds produced by the plant which are converted by the metabolic activity of bacteria present in their gut and act on their physiology. Some of these phytochemicals, the flavonoids, provide health benefits in many species, but little is known about the modulation of their bioactivity by the gut microbiota.
Here, we want to understand the importance of the gut microbiota in modulating flavonoids' effects on honey bee health under physiological conditions and after exposure to neonicotinoid pesticides. Honey bees are vital pollinators to our ecosystem and the current decline in their population is alarming. The neonicotinoids have been identified as one of the responsible factors. Using 16S rRNA sequencing and metabolomics approaches, we aim at identifying the combinations of flavonoids and gut symbionts promoting bee health and resistance to neonicotinoids. Bee health will be assessed both under laboratory and field conditions by measuring the survival rates, the activity of the detoxification pathway and the maturation speed because stressed bees have been shown to start foraging younger than healthy bees.
The outcome of this project will be of interest for a large range of scientific communities from microbiologists to ecologists, both in fundamental and applied sciences. Promoting health by acting on diet and gut bacteria is a hot topic, as is the decline in bee populations. Dissemination of the results to the general public will be facilitated by the existing enthusiasm for these questions.
The applicant will share her knowledge of the honey bee physiology and behavior with the host laboratory and will gain from its expertise in gut microbiota function. She will acquire the skills necessary to apply for junior researcher positions at the end of the fellowship and to focus her career on the importance of the gut microbiota  and diet for honey bee health, both at the physiological and behavioural level.
Baryonic operators in conformal field theories

The current theoretical description of the fundamental constituents of matter is the Standard Model of particle physics. Despite the unprecedented experimental verification, most of its predictive power is limited to the regime where particles interact weakly, hence impeding the study of bound states, such as baryons, where interactions are strong.  This proposal aims to study suitable generalizations of these particle excitations – ""baryonic"" operators composed of a number N of fundamental fields at a common point in spacetime – in quantum field theories that possess conformal symmetry and admit a large-N limit. These conditions are essential for the methods used in this proposal, which are based on quantum integrability of the relevant theory and on techniques for analytic resummation of Feynman diagrams.  The proposed research will extend in a non-trivial way the recent progress in solving correlation functions at finite coupling in maximally supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory. Specifically, we plan to advance the state of the art of integrability, in the form of the Quantum Spectral Curve formalism originally designed for two-point correlators, to describe a class of three-point correlators involving baryonic (also known as determinant or giant-graviton) operators.  We also strive to achieve a finite-coupling description of baryonic correlators through an appropriate diagrammatical methodology. Specifically, we plan to realize this goal in the non-supersymmetric gamma-deformation of the Yang-Mills theory and, finally, to adapt it to the quantum mechanical model proposed by Sachdev, Ye and Kitaev. The complicated perturbative description of baryons is both the challenge and the novelty, compared to earlier works for single-trace operators in the same theories.  This proposal details a plan for dissemination and communication of its results to specialists and the general public, as well as training for the benefit of the experienced researcher.
Delivering contextual information in a hands-free experience, optimized for users engaged inaction sports

We have seen a number of AR Glasses introduced in the market in the past 3 to 4 years. Unfortunately these products were the result of a technology push by large players who failed to understand what the customer really requires. During the past 5 years we have developed a technology that will disrupt the AR Glasses market specifically the use of AR in Sports. Current AR Glasses fail in 3 departments: 1) They are bulky, large and cumbersome to wear, 2) they are too expensive (> €1000) and 3) they obstruct the field of view of the user with a bulky prism or monitor. Our competition failed to understand that users want an appealing set of glasses, at a reasonable price and ultimately it should feel comfortable when worn. This is why products such as the Google Glass have been shelved and discontinued. We have been working on our product from 2012 but instead of trying to fit a pair of glasses to a computer we developed and shaped our technology to fit in a pair of glasses. UNO Sport uses our own patented technology which is similar to the technology used in heads up displays for fighter jet pilots. Instead of having a display mounted in front of the lens, our technology ‘projects’ an image on the glass’s lens itself, thereby, the user has 0% obstruction of the real scene. Secondly with our technology we can project the ‘virtual’ image exactly at the centre of the screen instead of having to look at the bottom or side. Finally, we managed to slash the price of our product down to €399. During our feasibility study, we decided to focus our product on one particular sector – Sports. With the advent of many wearable technology and many Apps developed for this particular sector, we identified a very large and lucrative sector which is in dire need for a product that could ‘extend’ the smartphone’s display so they can see information while practicing their sport.
Differential Virtual Screening (DVS) with Active and Inactive Molecular Models for Finding and Profiling GPCR Modulators: Case of the CCK1 Receptor

We discovered a constitutively activating mutation (CAM) V308E for the neurotensin NT1 receptor. Molecular dynamics (MD) performed for the CAM NT1-V308E exhibiting a high spontaneous activity, and for the wild-type NT1 without basal activity, show dramatic conformational changes for the CAM. To test if the two MD models could be valuable active and inactive templates for building molecular models for other class-A GPCR, supposed active and inactive models were built by homology for the cholecystokinin CCK1 receptor. Virtual screening of a corporate library with 250 000 compounds was performed with the two CCK1 models, and a differential virtual screening analysis (DVS), led us to isolate 250 predicted agonists and 250 predicted antagonists. The two sets were merged and the compounds were tested in CCK1 agonist and antagonist cellular assays. An excellent correlation was obtained between predictions and biological results. The effective profiling provided by DVS with active and inactive molecular models, opens new perspectives for finding agonists and antagonists for other class-A GPCR, notably for orphan GPCRs for which no ligands are known.
Effect of integration of bicyclists and pedestrians with transit in New Delhi

Abstract Traditionally, transportation mode shares in cities have been calculated separately for walking, bicycling and transit. However, it is well known that all transit trips have an access and egress component which is mostly executed through walking or bicycling. Hence, the choice of whether to choose transit for a particular trip depends as much on the walking or bicycling component of the trip as the transit component itself. A major source of inaccuracy in traditional mode share estimation models is the failure to identify this inherent dependence of transit trips on bicycling and walking. In New Delhi, where almost all access and egress trips for buses are made by bicycle/walking, the inaccuracies in mode share estimation could be more significant. This research aims to study behavioral effects of integrating bicycling and walking infrastructure with transit and provide predictions for outcomes of policy implementations modifying bicycle-to-transit or walk-to-transit environment in New Delhi. Four policy variables each are selected that affect pedestrian access to transit (sidewalk width, lighting, crossings and surrounding hygiene) and bicycle access to transit (bicycle lane, bicycle parking, bicycle sharing and on-board vehicle capacity) respectively. To gauge user behavior for hypothetical situations, stated preference survey data is collected through intercept surveys. 90 respondents were interviewed with upto 10 choice scenarios per individual with a total of 897 scenario responses (461 Pedestrian Infrastructure Scenarios +436 Bicycle Infrastructure Scenarios). Choice modelling is performed through a simple Multinomial Logit (MNL) model (in case there is no significant heterogeneity among individual preferences) and Random-Taste Mixed Logit model (to incorporate significant heterogeneity among various types of individual preferences). Modelling results showed that among pedestrian infrastructure, only presence of crossings could affect transit use and there is possibly significant heterogeneity in the population regarding use of sidewalks. Among bicycle infrastructure variables, presence of bicycle lanes and bicycle sharing is expected to positively impact transit use with no significant heterogeneity among the population. Finally, based on modelling results, three policy implementation scenarios are tested – presence of pedestrian crossings near all transit stops, introduction of bicycle lanes throughout the city and introduction of bicycle sharing system throughout the city. The scenario analysis shows possibility of considerable rise in transit mode share and GHG emission savings. This motivates further research to corroborate these findings with a larger sample, evaluation of viability of the ideas and possibly investigating implementation details.

MEDIOS DE VIDA DE LAS FAMILIAS DEDICADAS A ACTIVIDADES AGRÍCOLAS Y GANADERAS EN EL CANTÓN DE GUATUSO, ALAJUELA. CLASIFICACIÓN MEDIANTE CONGLOMERADOS

Mediante un análisis de conglomerados, las familias del cantón de Guatuso, Costa Rica son clasificadas en tres diferentes tipologías (pequeños, medianos y grandes productores) de acuerdo a la disponibilidad de capitales (físico, social, natural, humano y financiero) con que cuentan. Sin embargo la tipología más representativa en la zona son las familias con una disponibilidad baja de capitales y que pueden ser clasificados como pequeños productores. Por otra parte existe una relación directa la disponibilidad de capitales de las familias, la escala de producción y la integración al mercado, es decir, las familias clasificadas como grandes productores tienen una mayor disponibilidad de todos los capitales lo las hace más capaces de ajustarse a las condiciones que presenta el mercado internacional actual.
Genetic paths underlying the convergent evolution of pigmented spots on fly wings

When a phenotype evolves twice in independent lineages, are the underlying molecular mechanisms similar? In the case of similar pigmentation patterns that have arisen independently in two fruit fly species, Drosophila tristis and Drosophila biarmipes, the question, becomes: is there a unique genetic path to gain a pigmentation spot on the wing? Each pigmentation pattern is prefigured by the developmental expression of yellow, a gene necessary for the production of black pigments. In each case, yellow expression results from a novel enhancer, both enhancers sharing no homology. To understand how these new regulatory activities have independently emerged, we will first perform an RNAi screen to identify transcription factors controlling each enhancer. We will then characterize the candidate transcription factors identified, assess their genetic sufficiency and the directness of the regulatory link. We will evaluate the degree of convergence in the control of the activity of the two enhancers by closely comparing the relationship between their structure and their function. We will compare sequences between species that carry the regulatory activity and species that do not. We will identify in which context binding sites that convey the activity evolved (position, spacing, orientation). Moreover, we will distinguish among sites contributing permissive or instructive (spatio-temporal) input. 
This project tackles the open question of how a new regulatory activity emerges. The contribution of each input is key element to enhancer activity, and is hardly understood in any system. The model we use may represent a rare case where the evolution of a regulatory activity can be deciphered functionally.
Our work will also address the question of the repeated evolution of complex traits, often associated to regulatory changes. We will assess the level of functional constraint that may channel the emergence of the same regulatory activity to the same molecular mechanisms.
