Hydrogen Sensing with Diameter- and Chirality-Sorted Carbon Nanotubes

The work function of palladium is known to be sensitive to hydrogen by the formation of a surface dipole layer or Pd hydride. One approach to detect such a change in the work function can be based on the formation of a Schottky barrier between the palladium metal and a semiconductor. Here, we study the hydrogen sensitivity of Schottky barrier field-effect transistors made for the first time from diameter- and chirality-sorted semiconducting single-walled carbon nanotubes (s-SWNTs) in contact with Pd electrodes. We observe an unrivaled 100-fold change in the on-state conductance at 100 ppm H2 compared to air for devices with s-SWNT and diameters between 1 and 1.6 nm. Hydrogen sensing is not observed for devices of Pd-contacted few-layer graphene (FLG), as expected due to the absence of a significant Schottky barrier. Unexpectedly, we observe also a vanishing sensitivity for small-diameter SWNTs. We explain this observation by changes in the nanotube work function caused by spillover and chemisorption of atomic hydrogen onto small-diameter nanotubes. We also observe that long-term sensing stability is only achieved if the gate voltage is inverted periodically. Under constant gate bias, the sensitivity reduces with time, which we relate to gate screening by accumulated charges in the substrate.
The involuntary capture of attention by novel feature pairings: A study of voice—location integration in auditory sensory memory

Past researchers of the integration of information in memory have typically required participants to attend to and/or commit to memory the stimuli conveying distinct features, rendering difficult the examination of whether the maintenance of the feature pairings can occur involuntarily. To address this issue, the integration of voice and location information in auditory sensory memory was measured using a cross-modal oddball task, in which task-irrelevant auditory deviants are known to capture attention in an involuntary fashion. Participants categorized visual digits presented shortly after to-be-ignored sounds. These sounds consisted in the same phoneme played simultaneously in both ears but in different voices (female in one ear, male in the other). On most trials, the pairing of voice to location was constant (standard sound). On rare and unpredictable trials, the voices swapped locations (deviant sound). In line with past work on attention capture by auditory novelty, the participants were significantly slower to judge the visual digits following the deviant sound, indicating the involuntary encoding of the links between voice and location in auditory memory. These results suggest that voices and locations are integrated in memory and that this binding occurs in conditions in which participants do not intend to commit any information to memory.
ANN based inversion of DC resistivity data for groundwater exploration in hard rock terrain of western Maharashtra (India)

Summary Inversion of vertical electrical sounding (VES) data, especially from the crystalline hard rock area, assumes a special significance for groundwater exploration. Here we used a newly developed algorithm based on the Bayesian neural network (BNN) theory combined with Hybrid Monte Carlo (HMC)/Markov Chain Monte Carlo (MCMC) simulation scheme to invert the Direct Current (DC) VES measurements obtained from 30-locations around Tenduli-Vengurla, Sindhudurg district, Maharashtra, India. The inversion results suggest that the top layer is mostly comprised of laterites followed by mixture of clay/clayey sand and garnulites/granite as basement rocks. The source of groundwater appears to be accessible in weathered/semi-weathered layer of laterite/clayey sand that exists within the depth of 10–15 m from the surface. The NW–SE trending major lineaments and its criss-crosses are also identified from the apparent and true resistivity surface map. The pseudo-section at different depths in the western part of the area, near Nivti, shows extensive influence of saltwater intrusion and its impact reaching up to the depth of 30 m from the surface along the coastal area. Our results also show that intrusion of saline water decreases from the western part to the eastern part of the region. Two dimensional modeling of four resistivity profiles from the study region identified two potential groundwater reservoirs; one lying between Path-Tenduli and another in between Mat and Zaraph. The deduced true electrical resistivity section against depth correlates well with available borehole lithology in the area. The results presented here would be useful for interpreting the geological signatures like fractures, major joints and lineaments, which in turn will be helpful for identifying groundwater reservoirs and drainage pattern in the crystalline hard rock area. The newly developed HMC-based BNN method is robust and would provide insights for constraining the geophysical models and criteria for modeling resistivity data.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR SEPARATING FLOATING POLLUTANTS

Method and apparatus for cleaning an open surface of a body of liquid, especially for recovering oil spills or other floating pollutants. A surface portion of the water carrying pollutants is caused to flow across a skimming weir (12, K) forming an inlet to a collecting vessel (11) and to proceed downwardly within the collecting vessel. At least the main portion of the downwardly flowing polluted water is then diverted laterally outwardly into a separation zone (B) in which the pollutants are allowed to separate from the water and collect on a confined surface of the water. The separation zone (B) may be integrated in the collecting vessel (11) and provided around a central collection compartment (A) provided with an annular skimming weir (12, K). Alternatively, the skimming zone may be provided in a separate vessel connected with the collection vessel through a conduit.

Equilibrium geometries, stabilities, and electronic properties of the cationic Au n Be+ (n = 1-8) clusters: comparison with pure gold clusters

Ab initio method based on density functional theory at PW91PW91 level has been applied in studying the geometrical structures, relative stabilities, and electronic properties of small bimetallic Au(n)Be(+) (n = 1-8) cluster cations. The geometrical optimizations indicate that a transition point from preferentially planar (two-dimensional) to three-dimensional (3D) structures occurs at n = 6. The relative stabilities of Au(n)Be(+) clusters for the ground-state structures are analyzed based on the averaged binding energies, fragmentation energies, and second-order difference of energies. The calculated results reveal that the AuBe(+) and Au(5)Be(+) clusters possess higher relative stability for small size Au(n)Be(+) (n = 1-8) clusters. The HOMO-LUMO energy gaps as a function of the cluster size exhibit a pronounced even-odd alternation phenomenon. Sequently, the natural population analysis and polarizability for our systems have been analyzed and compared further.
Variation of cypermethrin residue levels in selected tropical fruit samples within and among field trials.

A comparison of pesticide residue data from field trials of three sampling methods was done to assess the variability of cypermethrin residue levels in terms of within the field trial and among between field trials. The fruit (mango/ papaya) samples were collected on individual tree basis (Study A: within field trial), on subplot basis (Study B: within field trial) and whole plot basis (Study C: among field trials). The field trials were conducted from 2006 – 2009. In Study A and B, replicate analysis yielded smaller measurement variation compared to sample replicates. Measurement of variation was highest (Relative Standard Deviations, RSD = 50.7%) among field trial samples (Study C) followed by samples from Study A (RSD = 28.9%) and Study B (RSD = 15.8%). The RSD of replicate samples were higher than the RSD of the analysis of replicates in Study A and B. The contributors of uncertainty to the measurement of cypermethrin residue in descending order, based on percentage variance were: sampling (82.2 – 95.6%) followed by sample processing (2.6 – 11.5%) and analysis (1.7 – 6.3%). The field factor was a significant contributor to the variation in pesticide residue measurement as compared to the laboratory factor.
Fuel sensitivity effects on dual-mode dual-fuel combustion operation for different octane numbers

Abstract The dual-mode dual-fuel combustion is a promising combustion concept to achieve the required emissions and carbon dioxide reductions imposed by the next emissions standards. Nonetheless, since the combustion concept relies on the reactivity of two different fuels (diesel and gasoline), the fuel formulation requirements are stricter. This work investigates the effects of the low reactivity fuel sensitivity for different octane numbers at different operating conditions representative of the combustion regimes found inside the dual-mode dual-fuel engine map. For this, experimental evaluations were performed using fuels with research octane number 92.5 and 80 and different sensitivities (0, 5 and the maximum one achievable for each fuel). The combustion development was assessed by means of the heat release rate characterization. Moreover, numerical simulations in a constant volume homogeneous reactor were used to explore and understand the impact of the different fuels on the ignition delay time. The results suggest that the sensitivity increase affects the different research octane number fuels in a different way. For the fuel with research octane number 92.5, the sensitivity variation increases the experimental ignition delay, impairing the combustion process and increasing the fuel consumption. In the case of the fuel with research octane number 80, the sensitivity increase does not affect the combustion development. This was justified by the numerical investigation, which points to a wider temperature range where the sensitivity does not affect the final ignition delay for research octane number 80. Moreover, generally, the ignition delay times for research octane number 80 considering the experimental gasoline fraction used are half than those of research octane number 92.5. At full load conditions, the trend is inverted, where the experimental ignition delay for research octane number 80 is affected by the sensitivity whilst research octane number 92.5 presents only modifications after the combustion start.
Agricultural Knowledge Extraction from Text Sources Using a Distributed MapReduce Cluster

Extracting and accessing knowledge in a KnowledgeBase is a crucial task. Documents must be computationallyunderstood and transformed into accessible knowledge. Specifically, the farming industry has a notable importance due tothe wide variety of information from text documents that needto be interpreted, often by a human. These documents, oftenrelates to regulations, chemicals, seeds and fertilizers amongothers. Moreover, automatize document processing increases itsimportance in areas like the European Union with its languageand regulation differences which increases the complexity offarming in general. Our approach aims to help users by meansof providing a scalable system using a distributed MapReducedocument cluster to process all this information to provide anaccessible way to this knowledge thereafter.
Era-Net cofund in personalised medicine

ERA PerMed will serve as a funding vehicle of topics identified in the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) in Personalised Medicine and the Action Plan of ICPerMed.

ERA PerMed  will coordinate R&I efforts of the participating partners (funding agencies from EU, associate countries to H2020 and third countries). The main objective is planning, implementing, monitoring and disseminate up to four joint transnational calls (JTCs) tackling the value change in full to fund multidisciplinary transnational research projects covering  each at least three slots of the value chain regarding Personalised Medicine.

The ERA PerMed consortium is open to enlargement for the planned JTCs. According to funding scheme’s rules, ERA PerMed partners commit themselves to implement one call with top-up co-funding from the EC, and include funded project monitoring. Additionally, up to three non-cofunded calls will be carried, in order to broaden the scope of action of the efforts made by the EC and funding organizations to foster the Personalised Medicine Research Community and to be able to take into account recent changes within the landscape of personalised medicine,  e.g. new developments of emerging technologies and societal challenges, which reinforces and amplifies the expected impact of ERA PerMed funding activity.

Cooperation and links with ICPerMed and a dialogue with patient organisations, other European stakeholders and initiatives are crucial for both R&I and the implementation of their results and sustainability, which reinforces and amplifies the expected impact of ERA PerMed funding activity.
Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Grading Scales: Something Old, Something Borrowed, Something New, and Silver Sixpence in Our Shoes!

neurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (aSAH) remains one of the most devastating medical problems, with high A mortality and morbidity rates despite advanced surgical and medical interventions. With this rate of mortality, the estimation of outcome of patients with aSAH becomes crucial to create an effective and efficient management strategy. Thus, a standardized scale system to predict the patient’s outcome was needed. To date, various aSAH grading scales have been proposed, but only few commonly were used in the clinical practice. However, none of them have been really completely effective because patients may develop a wide spectrum of clinical signs and overlapping symptoms in each grade.
Resonant-Cavity-Enhanced organic photo-detectors and photovoltaics

Organic photo-detecting devices (OPDs) and solar cells (OSCs) both rely on thin films containing blends of electron donors and acceptors, sandwiched between transmissive and reflective electrodes. This project aims to significantly enhance the performance of such devices, by understanding and manipulating resonant optical cavity effects implemented in this simple device architecture. By tuning the cavity resonance wavelength within the optical gap of both donor and acceptor, weak absorption of intermolecular charge transfer (CT) states is significantly enhanced, opening up opportunities to extend the absorption window to longer wavelengths. Using recently reported new non-fullerene acceptors, we will fabricate and characterize wavelength selective resonant cavity enhanced OPDs with high external quantum efficiencies and short response times, operating at longer wavelengths (>1200 nm) than the current state-of-the-art OPDs. To improve OSC performance, we will tune the cavity resonance wavelength to the optical absorption peak wavelength of either the strongly absorbing donor or acceptor. This results in strong light-matter effects causing a redshift of the absorption onset. This approach will be exploited to overcome the rather large voltage losses and optical absorption losses in state-of-the-art OSC devices.
Studies on the prevalence of oncogenic HPV types among Lithuanian women with cervical pathology

Human papillomavirus (HPV) is the main cause of cervical cancer. Therefore, the detection of oncogenic HPV types is important in predicting the risk of cervical cancer. The aim of the current study was to estimate the prevalence of 16 carcinogenic and potentially carcinogenic HPV types in the study group of Lithuanian women with various grades of cervical pathology in comparison to healthy women. A total of 824 cervical specimens were investigated for HPV DNA: 547 specimens of women with abnormal cytology and 277 specimens of healthy women. Cytological diagnosis was confirmed by histology. For the detection of HPV infection, HPV DNA was amplified by PCR using three different primer systems. HPV DNA was detected in 67.6% of specimens collected from women with abnormal cytology and 24.2% of specimens collected from healthy women. The frequency of HPV-positive specimens correlated with the severity of cervical pathology: it ranged from 50.0% in the subgroup of atypical squamous cells to 80.6% in cervical cancer. In cases confirmed by histology the frequency of HPV-positive specimens ranged from 68.6% in the subgroup of cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 1 to 89.2% in cervical intraepithelial neoplasia grade 3 or carcinoma in situ. HPV DNA-positive samples were further investigated for the presence of 16 HPV types by multiplex PCR. The most common HPV type was HPV 16 (detected in 42.3% of HPV-positive specimens) followed by HPV 31 (10.1%), HPV 33 (8.2%), and HPV 56 (5.7%). In contrast, the frequency of HPV 18 was lower as compared to other countries.
Average Capacity and Power Optimization for Full-Duplex DF Relaying with Large-Scale Antenna Array at the Destination

Full-duplex relaying system, which allows the relay node to transmit and receive at the same time and over the same frequency, can realize a significant enhancement of spectral efficiency. Besides residual self-interference, there exists another challenge for the full-duplex relaying system, i.e., the destination always treats the source-to-destination link as interference. To overcome this challenge, the large-scale antenna array is employed at the destination. By using the characteristic that the channel vectors of source-to-destination and relay-to-destination become asymptotically orthogonal, the system average capacity is derived and the optimal transmit power of the relay is obtained by maximizing the average capacity. Numerical results show that the system average capacity can be enhanced significantly compared to direct transmission and the optimal transmit power of the relay is determined by the residual self-interference.

Assessment of model uncertainty in destinations and travel forecasts of models of complex spatial shopping behaviour

This paper reports the results of an analysis of model uncertainty in the context of shopping behaviour. This analysis is positioned in a discussion on the evolution of models of spatial shopping behaviour. For different generations of shopping models, the potential of uncertainty analysis is discussed. The actual analysis is based on an application of the Albatross model to the city of Rotterdam, The Netherlands. Characteristic of this model is that shopping trips are embedded in the prediction of daily more comprehensive activity-travel patterns, adding complexity and realism to traditional models of spatial shopping behaviour, such as the Huff and spatial interaction model. Results show that overall the uncertainty associated with the aggregate outcomes of the model is small. It is higher for the total number of visits to selected shopping areas.
Microglia of medicinal leech (Hirudo medicinalis) express a specific activation marker homologous to vertebrate ionized calcium-binding adapter molecule 1 (Iba1/alias aif-1)

The Ionized calcium-Binding Adapter molecule 1 (Iba1), also known as Allograft Inflammatory Factor 1 (AIF-1), is a 17 kDa cytokine-inducible protein, produced by activated macrophages during chronic transplant rejection and inflammatory reactions in Vertebrates. In mammalian central nervous system (CNS), Iba1 is a sensitive marker associated with activated macrophages/microglia and is upregulated following neuronal death or brain lesions. The medicinal leech Hirudo medicinalis is able to regenerate its CNS after injury, leading to a complete functional repair. Similar to Vertebrates, leech neuroinflammatory processes are linked to microglia activation and recruitment at the lesion site. We identified a gene, named Hmiba1, coding a 17.8 kDa protein showing high similarity with Vertebrate AIF-1. The present work constitutes the first report on an Iba1 protein in the nervous system of an invertebrate. Immunochemistry and gene expression analyses showed that HmIba1, like its mammalian counterpart, is modulated in leech CNS by mechanical injury or chemical stimuli (ATP). We presently demonstrate that most of leech microglial cells migrating and accumulating at the lesion site specifically expressed the activation marker HmIba1. While the functional role of Iba1, whatever species, is still unclear in reactive microglia, this molecule appeared as a good selective marker of activated cells in leech and presents an interesting tool to investigate the functions of these cells during nerve repair events.
