Local head loss monitoring using acoustic instrumentation in partially full sewer pipes

After an increase in capital investment in UK sewers to reduce hydraulic capacity problems, the proportion of sewer flooding incidents now linked to blockages has increased. It is clear that if sewer operators are to continue to reduce flooding incidents, then better blockage management is now required. Sewer blockage formation is poorly understood; blockages are intermittent and occur in a number of circumstances. This paper reports on the development of low-cost acoustic instrumentation that can identify the location of a pipe blockage and then estimate the local head loss as a result of the presence of a blockage. A set of experiments were carried out in two full-scale laboratory pipes. The pipes' condition was altered by inserting blockages of different sizes. Acoustic data were recorded and presented in terms of the acoustic energy reflected from the partially blocked pipe. The results of this study show that the total reflected acoustic energy correlates with the measured head loss. A new empirical relation between the reflected acoustic energy and head loss due to a blockage is derived. This knowledge can then be used to estimate the reduction in flow capacity resulting from a blockage based on a single remote measurement.
Supramolecularly engineered architectures for optoelectronics and photonics: a multi-site initial training action

Photonics will play a major, enabling role in the future of ICT and healthcare. However, to fulfill its potential and deliver on its promises, photonics will heavily rely on novel and more performing materials, that can be manufactured cheaply for the
specific requirements of photonic applications. To lead this “photonics revolution” and rip the societal benefits of being at the leading-edge of novel technological and scientific developments, the EC needs a highly-skilled scientific and technical workforce that can effectively implement the transition to a truly “knowledge-based society”.
SYNCHRONICS mission is to synergistically address both needs by training a pool of future science-leaders in the synthesis, characterisation and application to photonics of supramolecularly-engineered functional materials within state-of the-art photonic nanostructures fabricated thanks to the top-quality facilities and unique expertise available within the network. This kind of research requires an inter-multidisciplinary, intersectorial approach by specialized and skilled scientists from different disciplines, each one bringing a particular expertise: organic and supramolecular synthesis (UNI-OX,UNI-W, SURFLAY), theory (UNI-GE, IBM, UNI-GE), surface studies (UdS, UCL), photophysics (IIT, IBM, UCL, UNI-GE,UNI-CY, UNI-MO), device fabrication and characterisation (IBM, AMO, SURFLAY, UCL, IIT, UNI-PI, UNI-GE). The
SYNCHRONIX Network, through the trans-national and trans-disciplinary coordination and integration of these 12, highly specialised and internationally-leading teams, consolidates the European training efforts in the emerging area of both supramolecular nanoscience and nanophotonics. SYNCHRONICS will deliver 540 person-months of unparalleled multidisciplinary and intersectorial training that is carefully and intensively structured through local, network wide, and extra-network training in both scientific/technical topics, as well as complementary and managerial skills.
Children's Selective Trust in Promises

There has been extensive research into the development of selective trust in testimony, but little is known about the development of selective trust in promises. The present research investigates children's (N = 264) selective trust in others' promises to help. In Study 1, 6-year-olds selectively trusted speakers who had previously kept a promise. In Study 2, 5-year-olds displayed selective trust for speakers who had previously kept a prosocial promise (promise to help). In Study 3, 5-year-olds trusted a speaker, who kept a prosocial promise, over a helper. These data suggest that from the age of 5 children show selective trust in others' promises using prosociality, promise keeping, or both to inform their judgments.
Predictors of Postpartum Weight Change Among Overweight and Obese Women: Results from the Active Mothers Postpartum Study

The postpartum period may be critical for the development of midlife obesity. Identifying factors associated with postpartum weight change could aid in targeting women for healthy lifestyle interventions.Data from Active Mothers Postpartum (AMP), a study of overweight and obese postpartum women (n=450), were analyzed to determine the effect of baseline characteristics, breastfeeding, diet, physical activity, and contraception on weight change from 6 weeks to 12, 18, and 24 months postpartum. The repeated measures mixed model was used to test the association of these effects with weight change.Although mean weight loss was modest (0.49 kg by 24 months), the range of weight change was striking (+21.5 kg to -24.5 kg, standard deviation [SD] 7.4). Controlling only for baseline weight, weight loss was associated with breastfeeding, hormonal contraception, lower junk food and greater healthy food intake, and greater physical activity. Only junk food intake and physical activity were significant after controlling for all other predictors.Eating less healthy foods and being less physically active put overweight and obese women at risk of gaining more weight after a pregnancy.

Analysis of Piled Raft Interactions in Sand with Centrifuge Test

말뚝지지 전면기초는 무리말뚝과 전면기초의 지지력을 함께 설계에 적용할 수 있는 기초형식이다. 그러나 변위장 중첩과 구속응력의 증가 등으로 대변되는 무리말뚝 - 지반 - 전면기초 상호작용으로 인해 각각의 무리말뚝기초와 전면기초의 지지력 특성은 변화하게 되며, 이는 말뚝지지 전면기초의 설계에 있어 중요한 요소로써 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 말뚝지지 전면기초에서 발생하는 지지력요소들의 상호작용을 규명하기 위해 원심모형시험을 이용한 전면기초, 단독 말뚝기초, 무리말뚝(16본; <TEX>$4{\times}4$</TEX>), 말뚝지지 전면기초(16본; <TEX>$4{\times}4$</TEX>) 하중-재하 시험을 수행하였으며, 조밀하고 느슨한 사질토 지반에서의 무리말뚝-지반, 무리말뚝-지반-전면기초의 상호작용을 하중단계에 따른 지지력 특성변화를 기준으로 분석하였다. 실험결과 말뚝지지 전면기초의 상호작용에 의해 무리말뚝기초의 지지력은 증가하는 것으로 나타났으며, 전면기초의 경우 무리말뚝의 영향에 의해 지지력이 감소하는 것으로 확인되었다. In the design of a piled raft, the axial resistance is offered by the raft and group piles acting on the same supporting ground soils. As a consequence, pile - soil - raft and pile - soil interactions, occurring by stress and displacement duplication with pile and raft loading conditions, act as a key element changing resistances of the raft and group piles. In this study, a series of centrifuge model tests have been performed to compare the axial behavior of group pile and raft with that of a piled raft (having 16 component piles with an array of <TEX>$4{\times}4$</TEX>) in sands with different relative densities. The test results revealed that the increase of settlement resistance occurs separately with settlement by group pile - soil interactions. The axial resistance of group piles (at piled raft) increases by group pile - raft (pile cap) interactions and that of raft (at piled raft) decreases by group pile - raft (pile cap) interactions.
Towards and Beyond a Final Nuclear Deal with Iran

World powers and Iran are on the cusp of reaching a final nuclear deal after more than a decade of negotiations. The extent of details divulged in Lausanne regarding the parameters for a comprehensive nuclear deal suggests that negotiators have overcome an impasse in the talks. But technical and political challenges remain before the deal can be sealed and delivered. In particular, an obstructionist stance from the US Congress could severely undermine the ability of the West to fulfill its obligation under a final deal. Europeans have a strategic interest in reaching a deal which addresses their non-proliferation concerns on Iran. Given its proximity to the Middle East, Europe also has a necessity to move the current detente with Iran forward beyond a nuclear-centric discourse to focus on de-escalation in the region. Europe should utilise its political space to keep up the momentum behind the nuclear talks, push all sides to the finishing line and safeguard the detente process with Iran thereafter.
Improving resource-efficiency in manufacturing

With LCE-Tool, we aim to disrupt the production machinery industry, by commercializing a tool to improve resource efficiency in manufacturing, via time efficient prediction and analysis of energy and material flows in the manufacturing and use phase. The manufacturing industry contributes to 20% of EU’s resource and energy demand, with high influence on the resource and energy efficiency properties of the produced products. Quantifying the energy/heat waste and identifying where the losses take place is key to increase energy and materials efficiency. Although there are numerous simulation tools towards this direction, the root casualties of each system’s energy demand cannot be yet identified, as the existing solutions provide limited information about the interconnection between manufacturing process of the machine, the final product and product performance during the use phase (trade-off limited quantification, inability to identify the stage of every loss). 
LCE-Tool is the first life-cycle engineering software, allowing the sustainable design and operation of production machines, through a holistic evaluation of machine’s performance during both the design stage (machine producer) and the procurement process of new machines (machine user). Thus, we are able to decrease the power demand and the material consumption by 25% during the manufacturing process and enable the creation of virtual prototypes of high accuracy, providing up to 50% enhanced time and cost efficiency, as there is not more need for multiple expensive physical prototypes. 
At ZÜST, we have high expertise in systems engineering, eco-design and project management. With LCE-Tool we aim to become a pioneering software company offering novel simulation solutions. Through this project we aim to create at least 20 new job positions. With a Phase 2 investment of €1.22M, this would imply a Return of Investment of 4.8
Negative frequency communication

Spectrum is the most valuable resource in communication system, but unfortunately, so far, a half of the spectrum has been wasted. In this paper, we will see that the negative frequency not only has a physical meaning but also can be used in communication. In fact, the complete description of a frequency signal is a rotating complex-frequency signal, in a complete description, positive and negative frequency signals are two distinguishable and independent frequency signals, they can carry different information. But the current carrier modulation and demodulation do not distinguish positive and negative frequencies, so half of the spectrum resources and signal energy are wasted. The complex-carrier modulation and demodulation, proposed by this paper, use the complex-frequency signal as a carrier signal, the negative and positive frequency can carry different information, so the spectrum resources are fully used, the signal energy carried by complex-carrier modulation is focused on a certain band, so the signal energy will not be lost by the complex-carrier demodulation.

Analysis of vessel traffic and safety assessment of the Soya Strait

This paper discusses how an Automatic Identification System (AIS) receiving station was set up in November 2008 in order to acquire the true figure of vessels going through the Soya (La Perouse) Strait and how the data has been successfully stored. Both static and dynamic analysis were conducted. First, the Strait was divided into eight sections and directions and the numbers of vessels crossing each section were counted. Second, the area was divided into 1 km square grids and each grid was examined to see if there were two or more ships in the same grid at the same time. As a result of the first analysis it was found that vessels are crossing both ways from west to east and east to west in each section. Large vessels with hazardous materials are likely to be congested in the northern part of the strait so that the vessels are kept away from the Reef Nijo and save petroleum. The paper discusses how dangerous crossings have actually occurred and lane separation or other traffic regularity needs to be established through international cooperation.
Improving Regional Policies promoting and motivating non-technological Innovation in SMEs

Innovation in SMEs is one of the big challenges of the European economy to compete in the global markets. Even if different policies and programmes have been put in place in different Regions to push SMEs in this line, the lack of motivation to innovate in SMEs has been identified by all the actors involved in the innovation system.
And for the major part of the European SMEs, the non-technological innovations are the most important ones. How to deal with new business models, marketing strategies, commercialisation approaches, organisational issues, etc.
In consequence, how to convince SMEs managers to use a part of their time to define and implement innovation policies becomes the key question to develop and adopt non-technological innovations in the companies.
The objective of InnoMot project is to prepare the deployment of new policies and programmes addressed to support the adoption of non-technological innovations by SMEs in the Regions involved.
The challenge of the project is to improve the development and adoption of new business models in SMEs by designing, implementing and managing strategies, policies and tools, whose aims are to improve non-technological innovation, and especially regarding the factors related with the motivation of SMEs’ owners and managers.
Specific objectives will be: 
- to define a new approach on SMEs motivation
- to develop and apply a methodology to identify, pack and transfer the better practices found
- to identify a set of good practices
- to define and design tools to motivate the promotion of innovation in SMEs, using the practices found
- to facilitate the creation of platforms involving the different stakeholders to learn more about the deployment of new practices
- to define Regional Implementation Plans
- to improve among the regions the development of materials to push ahead the deployment of new policies' approaches
- to disseminate the policies and results beyond the consortium
The aim of the project is to build up expertise in the public administrations in order to improve the current practice regarding design, implementation and monitoring of Innovation motivation policies.
The basis to reach the objectives is to identify the existing good practices, to analyse them identifying the key success factors, to establish the conditions to transfer them among the involved Regions, and to use them to improve the existing policies. In addition, a generalisation of this transfer system will be generated to help other Regions to apply it in the future. 
This path will be not linear but with a permanent feedback among the tasks to guarantee that the results, both intermediate and final will be adequate to the regional needs.

Smart rural heritage along tourism routes

Project SHELTER originates from the problem represented by the abandonment and degradation of historic rural buildings in the Italian-Austrian cross-border area. A significant issue, that has such consequences as the increase of hydro-geological risk and the decrease of biodiversity, the loss of productive land and of a rich cultural heritage. To confront this problem, the project aims at joining the conservation of buildings with the development of the mountain landscape, recovering exemplary cases of abandoned heritage to insert in the existing network of hiking and cycling routes, combining it with local association and production activities. SHELTER will start from the knowledge base offered by past European projects for the sustainable recovery of historical rural heritage. Experimenting this know-how, infrastructure works will be implemented for the recovery of buildings and paths to support a new use of heritage and to sustain local development, accompanied by participation workshops with the population. In this way a catalogue of building solutions and a set of indicators will be defined, which will be disseminated between administrations and enterprises through meetings with sector and trade associations. In short, the project will develop tools and test new functionalities for the recovery historic rural buildings and their landscape, supporting their conservation and sustainable use in the current context.

The Greek Economy Pays the Price of Drift

When Standard & Poor’s downgraded the long-term debt of Greece to junk, the European Commission responded that it expected rating agencies like S&P to be “responsible” at this difficult and sensitive time. This has been the wrong initiative. People and countries should never fail to listen when independent critics start saying that they are going downhill. Debt is no money growing on trees; it has to be served and repaid. A great deal of tax money which might have been used for investments to provide the ground for future jobs goes into the debt financial abyss. In addition, the higher is the public debt the lower becomes a debtor’s creditworthiness. The current debt crisis has two legs: overleveraged sovereigns because of public health care and other frills; and an undercapitalized banking industry. The two correlate; therefore, the crisis in Greece and in other Mediterranean countries (Club Med) is deeper and more widespread than almost anyone feared at its start. Assuming more debt to solve the debt problem has backfired, and the so-called Private Sector Involvement (PSI) did not deliver. Was this “voluntary” downsizing of loans justified? Was it intense government pressure, or the scare of a credit event , such as a Greek bankruptcy, which made the banks compliant? The fear of a credit event brought up PSI, and the irony is that, in the end, the credit default swap (CDS) event was not avoided.
