Alpen Corridor South

Paneuropean corridors are a new definition introduced by E.U. to support both internal market development and new E-W links between E.U. countries and accession countries.
Transport and accessibility represent strategic and long term policies for social and economic cohesion of the continent.
What is a corridor and how to realize it it’s still an open question, since european space has relevant differences according to geography, regional economies, local societies, and infrastructures existing stock.
We need to go deeper through the significance of the term Corridor, which means experiencing different spatial approaches to the complexity of this assumption and to clarify the role of actors and the nature of actions involved in implementation.
Transport is a relevant part of a corridor, but it means a set of different actions involving infrastructures, vehicles, technology, communication, organization, pricing policy, spatial impacts, etc.
Thermal treatment for radioactive waste minimisation and hazard reduction

Safe management of radioactive waste is challenging to waste producers and waste management organisations. Deployment of thermal treatment in an optimised waste management lifecycle can provide significant volume reduction, waste passivation and organics destruction, with benefits for waste storage and safety cases for geological disposal. Relevant technologies include in-container vitrification, gasification, plasma treatment and hot isostatic pressing. THERAMIN aims in utilisation of all these methods.

THERAMIN will provide an EU-wide strategic review and assessment of the value of thermal technologies applicable to a broad range of waste streams (ion exchange media, soft operational wastes, sludge, organics and liquids). THERAMIN will compile an EU-wide database of thermally treatable wastes, will document the strategic benefits of thermal treatment, and will identify the opportunities, synergies, challenges, timescales and cost implications to improve radioactive waste management. THERAMIN will evaluate the applicability and achievable volume reduction of the technologies through ‘first-of-a-kind’ active and non-active full-scale demonstration tests, and will assess the disposability of residues. 

The project benefits from the large investments made by partners in thermal treatment R&D facilities, which will be used to maximise the benefit across Member states. THERAMIN will benefit from close engagement with an End User Group (waste producers and waste management organisations). The partners will encourage the mobility and training of staff for the development of the next generation of engineers and scientists, and the proposal includes a technical training workshop, a scientific conference, and use of other dissemination tools. THERAMIN will establish a pan-European network of expertise on thermal treatment, will provide for cross-European technology transfer, and will identify prospects for sharing of facilities between countries facing similar problems.
‘Going with the grain’: accommodating local institutions in water governance

Development agencies have often adhered to standardized models for interventions in the water sector of developing countries. The assumption is that the model and the associated institutions will substitute existing institutions. This approach has been criticized on the grounds that prevailing institutions are a mix of traditional and modern arrangements, resulting from a process of bricolage, through which norms, values and arrangements are locally moulded. In this paper we review the literature on institutions in water services governance and focus our discussion on the ‘going with the grain’ approach. By looking at provision of drinking water to the poor, we argue that although the approach may lead to more effective and environmentally sustainable water services, it also reproduces local power dynamics and existing inequalities. We conclude by linking this debate to the question of this special issue: how to deal with legal pluralism?
Asteroidal impacts and the origin of terrestrial and lunar volatiles

Asteroids impacting the Earth partly volatilize, partly melt (O’Keefe, J.D., Ahrens, T.J. [1977]. Proc. Lunar Sci. Conf. 8, 3357–3374). While metal rapidly segregates out of the melt and sinks into the core, the vaporized material orbits the Earth and eventually rains back onto its surface. The content of the mantle in siderophile elements and their chondritic relative abundances hence is accounted for, not by the impactors themselves, as in the original late-veneer model (Chou, C.L. [1978]. Proc. Lunar Sci. Conf. 9, 219–230; Morgan, J.W. et al. [1981]. Tectonophysics 75, 47–67), but by the vapor resulting from impacts. The impactor’s non-siderophile volatiles, notably hydrogen, are added to the mantle and hydrosphere. The addition of late veneer may have lasted for 130 Ma after isolation of the Solar System and probably longer, i.e., well beyond the giant lunar impact. Constraints from the stable isotopes of oxygen and other elements suggest that, contrary to evidence from highly siderophile elements, ∼4% of CI chondrites accreted to the Earth. The amount of water added in this way during the waning stages of accretion, and now dissolved in the deep mantle or used to oxidize Fe in the mantle and the core, may correspond to 10–25 times the mass of the present-day ocean. The Moon is at least 100 times more depleted than the Earth in volatile elements with the exception of some isolated domains, such as the mantle source of 74220 pyroclastic glasses, which appear to contain significantly higher concentrations of water and other volatiles.
Open innovation digital platform and fablabs for collaborative design and production of personalised/customised fmcg

DIY4U aims to develop and promote the adoption of collaborative production engineering approaches in the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) sector. The concept is an extension of the format for paint customization at a DIY store where they can make any small quantity of any colour a customer requires. It focuses on particulate and liquid FMCG like detergents, cosmetics, food, etc. To limit the project’s scope, we will exemplify DIY4U with detergents and soaps as they are amongst the most complex FMGCs to formulate, represent 84.6 billion € market, and allow us to test DIY4U for both particulates and liquids. A key DIY4U differentiator vs. paint machines is the use of web-based portals to allow users to design their own products from home with a much broader range of performance attributes (than just colour) and then have these produced and delivered in a “designed for you” way. For example, DIY4U will enable a consumer to design and make a personal version of a washing powder with more stain power, or cosmetic (e.g. cream/foundation) that better matches an individual’s complexion. The lack of relevant digital infrastructure and efficient small-scale manufacturing facilities limits FMCG product personalisation/customisation.
DIY4U will address the blockers of product customisation and small-scale manufacturing by developing an Open Innovation (OI) digital B2B/B2C platform and small-scale automated manufacturing machines (fablabs) for collaborative design and production of personalised/customized FMCG.
Comparison of European and Russian Technical Documentation for Structural Use of Concrete

Wiliness to expand cooperation with European scientists has been triggered by profound study of European standards and codes. Having learnt European standards will make it possible to break technical trade barriers down and make it possible to have common-used design rules for buildings and structures. It is essential to start learning entire array of supporting documents. First of all standards for materials and standards for testing methods should be analyzed. This article deals with research of the European standard technical documentation in terms of specifications and testing methods for concrete mixes and concretes to be compared with the Russian standards.
A photoinduced discharge X-ray detector using photoconductors: influence of the material selection on the electronic properties.

In the Photo-Induced Discharge (PID) method of X-ray detection, image information generated by X-rays is derived using a readout laser. The structure of the PID detector consists of multiple layers with different functionalities. A high voltage is applied between the top and bottom layers, generating an electric field for separating the electron-hole pairs (EHPs) generated by X-rays in a photoconductor layer. A separate dielectric layer is used to trap EHPs. Improvements to detection efficiency are accomplished by selecting new photoconductor materials as a substitute for amorphous selenium (a-Se), commonly used in existing PID methods. The photoconductor material also determines the optimal wavelength of an appropriate readout laser. Lead oxide, lead iodide, mercury iodide, and mercury iodide (with additives) were tested as alternative photoconductor materials with low dark current. The readout laser used here operates at wavelengths of 459 nm and 620 nm. The reaction characteristic on the readout laser was measured in all four types of photoconductors. Detection properties were compared to a flat panel detector. No reaction characteristics could be measured for lead oxide and lead iodide for either wavelength. The mercury iodide photoconductor (including additives) reacted to the 495 nm wavelength, but showed a weak, inconsistent signal for different measurements. The mercury iodide photoconductor showed excellent characteristics for both wavelengths, but was superior for a wavelength of 495 nm. The mercury iodide-based PID sensitivity was measured at 0.4 nc/mR cm2 with a dark current at 0.5 nA/cm2 and signal to noise ratio (SNR) of 340. These results show a lower sensitivity compared to existing flat panel detectors, but show a much lower dark current. Consequently, SNR values approximately 260 times higher were observed in the PID detector as compared with a flat panel detector.
Toolbox from the EC FP7 HOSANNA project for the reduction of road and rail traffic noise in the outdoor environment

This paper offers a brief overview of innovative methods for road and rail traffic noise reduction between source and receiver. These include using new barrier designs, planting of trees, treatments of ground and road surfaces and greening of building facades and roofs using natural materials, like vegetation, soil and other substrates in combination with recycled materials and artificial elements. The abatements are assessed in terms of numerically predicted sound level reductions, perceptual effects and cost‐benefit analysis. Useful reductions of noise from urban roads and tramways are predicted for 1-m-high urban noise barriers and these are increased by adding inter-lane barriers. A 3 m wide 0.3 m high lattice ground treatment, a carefully planted 15-m-wide tree belt and replacing 50 m of paved areas by grassland are predicted to give similar reductions. Tree belts are shown to be very cost-effective and combining tall barriers with a row of trees reduces the negative impact of wind. Green roofs may significantly reduce the noise at the quiet side of buildings.
Test oracles for simulink-like models

The design of embedded systems is often supported by the definition of executable models for tools like Matlab/Simulink or Scilab/Xcos. These models play a pivotal role in the development process and their correctness is thus extremely important. Many different solutions exist for the definition of suitable tests to exercise these models, but only a few (partial) solutions exist for assessing the quality of execution (simulation) results, that is, for defining suitable oracles. This paper addresses the problem and proposes a formal language for specifying the oracles and relating them to existing models. It also presents Apolom, a prototype tool for checking simulation results against stated oracles. The empirical assessment we conducted to assess the viability of the proposed solution is organized around four case studies and witnesses interesting results in terms of effectiveness, efficiency, and required resources.
An Integrated European Model to Protect MEDiterranean Forests from Fire

The aim of the project is to develop and transfer, through common approach at transnational level, an integrated model for the prevention of forest fires. Focus will be placed on the prevention phase fundamental for environmental, economic, cultural and social sustainability. In particular, 3 thematic areas will be dealt with to ensure an integrated and effective model: 1) The development of shared methods and techniques for risk mapping, assessment and monitoring, by integrating new elements/risks not taken into consideration in existing risk models and prevention plans, e.g. characteristics of the forest, vulnerability of the territory, and climate change; 2) An economic and eco- compatible sustainable model for forest maintenance incl. the valorisation of biomass; 3) Information and training activities for responsible environmental behaviour in risk areas and/or in risk situations. 3 action phases will be carried out to guarantee concrete results which can be transferred to each partner/territory: Exchange of information and joint development of methods and instruments; transfer and concertation; pilot implementation, adoption and mainstreaming of the methods and tools developed. The partnership is made up of 9 organisations composed of 6 territorial partners from IT, ES, GR, HR, PT, CY and 3 universities from IT, PT and FR. This will guarantee a wide territorial test base and methods and techniques which can be successfully applied in many countries.
Threshold optimization of pseudo-inverse linear discriminants based on overall accuracies

A pseudo-inverse linear discriminants has nothing in common with a Fisher linear discriminant (FLD) if the desired outputs of each sample are changeable. With the customarily desired outputs {1, −1}, a simple and size-related threshold is acquired, which. Multiple thresholds related to sample sizes and distribution regions are thus developed, and the optimal ones may be singled out from among by means of the OCA criterions. Enormous experimental results for the benchmark datasets have verified that the PILDs with optimal thresholds have good learning and generalization performances, and even reach the top OCAs for some datasets among the existing classifiers.

Superhomes 2030: up scaling integrated home deep renovation services for ireland

The aim of Superhomes2030 is to dramatically scale the Superhomes offer (a concept developed by TEA) in Ireland from a model which completes 100/€6m worth of retrofits per annum in 2019 to 500/€36m per annum by 2023, and 3,000/€150m per annum by 2030 (10% of National Target).  The expanded and improved Superhomes service would result in 48 GWh savings (between 2020 and 2023) compared to a Business as Usual scenario of 27GWh.  This ambition will be achieved through the development of 
•	4 Regional Superhome One Stop Shops which will engage 80 High Performance Contractors to deliver quality retrofits nationally
•	capacity building and training for homeowners/surveyors/contractors/technical staff (>200 people trained)
•	attractive finance solutions independent of public finances, financing >€67m per annum by 2030
•	optimisation of technical analysis and design systems and solutions.  
•	creation of open source energy performance data platforms which demonstrate the value of undertaking nZEB retrofits to the market
 
A Growth Strategy will be developed which will inform Innovative Business models based on the concept of regional “one stop shop”.  Superhomes2030 will facilitate a Deep Retrofit Community of Practice (CoP) across Europe where leading experts, practitioners and agencies involved in Deep Retrofit will share experience, knowledge and competency thus driving the retrofit agenda.  Technical solutions using best practice standards will be developed which will be future proofed to include new innovations and technical solutions.  Opportunities to expand the Superhomes model outside of Ireland will also be explored, using linkages created through the European Heat Pump Association and FEDARENE.

If successful Superhomes2030 will implement 10% of all retrofits in Ireland by 2030 and a total investment of €657m from 2020 to 2030, supporting 13,000 FTE jobs in the construction and retrofitting sector, and saving 167 kilotonnes of CO2.
Stunting and obesity in childhood: a reassessment using longitudinal data from South Africa

A series of cross-sectional studies have found a relationship between stunting and obesity in childhood. Because height appears in both the numerator of indices of stunting and the denominator of indices of obesity, random errors made by fieldworkers measuring heights can produce negative bias in estimates of this relationship.With longitudinal data, height can be instrumented with its lagged value in a two-stage probit regression model, purging the estimated association between the probability of being obese or underweight and the height-for-age z-score of this errors-in-variables bias. Such a model is fitted to a cohort of 1110 primary-school-age children measured in 1993-2004 in a panel study in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. The study also collected detailed data on households' demographic and socio-economic characteristics.Risk factors for stunting, wasting and obesity differed in this population. Stunting was not associated with childhood obesity in either the cross-sectional or two-stage models. In the cross-sectional analysis, however, random measurement errors masked a negative association between children's height-for-age and their probability of being underweight or wasted that emerged in the two-stage instrumental variable models. This association was further amplified, rather than attenuated, by controlling for children's household income, racial group, residence and mother's education.The validity of the findings of earlier cross-sectional studies of the association between stunting and obesity in childhood is dependent on the precision with which they measured height. Random measurement error can also mask an association between being stunted and underweight in cross-sectional studies.
Optimal Communication Strategies in Cooperative Cognitive Radio Networking

This work is concerned with enhancement of spectrum-energy efficiency whereby a primary user (PU) engages secondary users (SUs) to relay its transmission in an energy-aware cognitive radio network, i.e., forming a cooperative cognitive radio network (CCRN). The cooperation framework in CCRN can be multiple two-hop relaying with or without PU's direct link transmission using an amplify-and-forward or decode- and-forward mode. In the energy-aware CCRN, an individual cooperating partner attempts to maximize its own utility. The partner selection and parameter optimization, led by the PU, are formulated as two Stackelberg games, namely a sum-constrained power allocation game for two-phase cooperation and a power control game for three-phase cooperation, respectively. Unique Nash Equilibrium is proved and achieved in analytical format for each game. The optimal communication strategy is chosen which achieves the maximum PU utility among different optimal communication strategies. Moreover, an implementation scheme is presented to perform the partner selection and parameter optimization based on the analytical results. Theoretical analysis and performance evaluation show that the proposed CCRN model is a promising framework under which the PU's utility is maximized, while the relaying SUs can attain acceptable utilities.
Ankyloglossia or tongue tie- A case report

Ankyloglossia or tongue tie is a ongoing controversy among professionals as well as speciality groups. It is characterized by short lingual frenum or abnormal attachment of lingual frenum. It causes restricted tongue mobility which in turn causes feeding difficulties and speech problems. Here we present a case report of ankyloglossia in a11 year old male child. 1 . The other category is total ankyloglossia which is rare and occurs when the tongue is completely fused to the floor of the mouth. The incidence of tongue tie varies from 0.2%-5%, with a male child predilection. It also occurs as a clinical feature with syndromes such as Smith- Lemliopitz syndrome, Orofacial digital syndrome, Beckwith Weidman syndrome, Simpson-Golabi-Behmel syndrome and X-linked cleft palate 2 . Ankyloglossia or Tongue tie affects speech, feeding, oral hygiene as well as social environment also. It causes blanching of soft tissue during tongue retrusion and also exerts force on mandibular anteriors 2 . We report a case of partial ankyloglossia in a 11 year old male child which has been treated and followed up without any post operative consequences and recurrence.
