Truck security_ fuel and cargo theft detection alarm system

The Project objective is to develop and execute a market replication of IDTEQ’s   alarm system for road transport vehicles. IDTEQ provides a leading technology for secure and reliable alarm detection in remote and noisy environments.  The IDTEQ incident detection technology samples and analyses sound. Sensors and proprietary signal processing algorithms detect specific incidents and to discard false incidents.

Fuel- and Cargo theft is a significant problem and a continuous threat to European road transport companies, but it is a criminal activity that is often given low priority. 
A prioritised task for the road transport associations is to fight criminal activities in the sector, so the association  wanted to find technologies to better protect the trucks. Conventional car alarm systems are not made to handle the specific treats of fuel theft or cargo theft, their market focus is on cabin protection and vehicle tracking.  The market development projects have verified strong value propositions for IDTEQs’ technology. IDTEQ has identified several strategic opportunities which will be developed in order to build a leading product offering for fuel and cargo theft alarm systems on road transport vehicles in Europe.
Response of nitrogen fertilization on Bt and non-Bt cotton (Gossypium hirsutum) hybrids

A field experiment was conducted during 2006 and 2007 (June- December) at New Delhi to assess the performance of three cotton hybrids of which two Bt (MRC 6304 &amp; RCH 317) and one non-Bt cotton hybrid LHH 144 (North zone check) in response to nitrogen fertilization (0, 60, 120 and 180 kg ha-1). Based on pooled analysis, both Bt hybrids produced similar seed cotton yield (SCY). Bt hybrid have produced 7.1 bolls/plant (on an average) and bolls 0.48 g heavier than non Bt hybrid LHH 144 that lead to 1.07 t ha-1 higher SCY of Bt hybrids than non-Bt hybrid (1.93 t ha-1). Though the N uptake by cotton hybrids was statistically similar N harvest index (NHI) was higher in Bt hybrid (57.85) as compared to non-Bt hybrid (40.5). The agronomic N use efficiency (ANUE) was highest in MRC 6304 Bt (6.44) and least in LHH 144 non-Bt cotton (3.91). Cotton growth, yield attributes, SCY, and N uptake increased with each successive increase to the highest level of 180 kg ha-1 however, the N response of cotton was quadratic in nature with optimum dose of 173.0 kg ha-1. The NHI decreased with increase in N dose i.e. from the highest of 56.3 in control to the lowest of 48.8 with 180 kg ha-1 N fertilization. ANUE and physiological NUE that was highest with 60 (5.73) and 120 kg N fertilization (17.05), respectively and decreased with further increase in N dose. The cotton hybrid x N interaction effect revealed that Bt cottons have quadratic N response while non-Bt cotton has linear N response. From the economic point of view, Bt hybrids with 120 kg Nha-1 could be optimum dose for cotton cultivation. DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3329/sja.v11i1.18389 SAARC J. Agri., 11(1): 121-132 (2013)
Le cannabidiol (CBD) : que faut-il retenir ?

Le cannabidiol (CBD) est un phytocannabinoïde que l'on retrouve dans la plante de cannabis. Il peut être consommé de différentes façons, par inhalation, ingestion ou par application cutanée selon les effets recherchés. Trois indications thérapeutiques existent en France, le syndrome de Dravet, le syndrome de Lennox-Gastaut et le traitement symptomatique des manifestations de la spasticité liée à une sclérose en plaques. De nombreuses autres indications sont suggérées, mais on ne dispose pas, à ce jour, de données suffisantes ni d'études correctement menées pour valider ces indications. Le CBD peut engendrer une certaine toxicité, en particulier des troubles digestifs, une toxicité hépatique et des troubles du rythme cardiaque. Il existe de nombreuses méthodes analytiques permettant le dosage sanguin du CBD, souvent couplé à celui du tétrahydrocannabinol (THC). Il n'existe pas de transformation du CBD en THC dans l'organisme ou lors de son dosage.
Accelerators validating antimatter physics

Antiprotons, stored and cooled at low energies in a storage ring or at rest in traps, are highly desirable for the investigation of basic questions on fundamental interactions, the static structure of antiprotonic atoms, CPT tests by high-resolution spectroscopy on antihydrogen, as well as gravity experiments. Antimatter experiments are at the cutting edge of science. They are, however, very difficult to realize and have been limited by the performance of the only existing facility in the world, the Antiproton Decelerator (AD) at CERN. The Extra Low Energy Antiproton ring (ELENA) will be a critical upgrade to this unique facility and commissioned from summer 2016. This will significantly enhance the beam quality and enable new experiments.
To fully exploit the discovery potential of this facility and to pave the way for a vibrant long-term physics program with low energy antiprotons, advances are urgently required in numerical tools that can adequately model beam transport, life time and interaction, beam diagnostics tools and detectors that can fully characterize the beam’s properties, as well as in into advanced experimental techniques for improved precision and novel experiments that exploit the enhanced beam quality that ELENA will provide. AVA is a new European training network between universities, research centers and industry that will carry out an interdisciplinary and cross-sector antimatter research and training program for a cohort of 15 Fellows. It targets new scientific and technical developments and aims at boosting the career prospects of all trainees.

RFID TRIANGULATED TANK GAUGING AND INVENTORY MANAGEMENT SYSTEM

The disclosure generally describes computer-implemented methods, software, and systems for gauging tanks. A computer-implemented method includes generating, using an interrogator, a radio frequency signal directed towards a radio frequency identification (RFID) device that is freely floating on the liquid stored within the tank, receiving a return signal from the RFID device, the return signal being associated to a location of the RFID device, processing the return signal to determine a height of the liquid stored within the tank based on a triangulation algorithm, and determining a result data based on the height of the liquid stored within the tank and one or more tank characteristics.
On the formation of pre-onset azimuthal pressure gradient in the near-Earth plasma sheet

[1] Xing et al. (2011) demonstrated by case study that the plasma sheet pressure gradient at ∼11 REnear the substorm onset meridian undergoes a substantial duskward enhancement shortly before substorm onset as identified from the auroral poleward expansion. It was suggested that the increased upward FAC driven by this pressure gradient enhancement lead to the thin onset arc intensification from which the poleward expansion initiates. In the present study, we employ the multiTHEMIS spacecraft in azimuthal conjunction -at ∼−11 REand examine the ion flux and distributions during the period of pressure gradient enhancement, and identify two categories of events. For events with pressure gradient change ≤2 min prior to onset, strong earthward ion flux enhancements covering the energy range from several keV to above 25 keV were observed by the spacecraft identifying the higher pressure increase, while at the same time the ion distributions show a substantial earthward shift in velocity space. These resemble the ion acceleration ahead of earthward moving dipolarization fronts. On the other hand, the spacecraft observing the lower pressure increase found weaker or no ion flux enhancements and had nearly isotropic distributions, indicating that longitudinally localized dipolarization fronts are responsible for the pressure gradient development. These pressure gradient enhancements were in the duskward (dawnward) direction for measurements to the east (west) of the onset region. For pressure gradient enhancement >2 min prior to onset, stronger plasma sheet thinning was observed by the spacecraft identifying the larger pressure increase and the ion distributions appear nearly isotropic, which suggests plasma redistribution in the undisturbed plasma sheet. These two categories suggest that both dipolarization fronts and growth phase plasma sheet localized thinning can drive azimuthal pressure gradient enhancement near the onset meridian and cause pre-onset thin auroral arc intensification, though the dipolarization front events appear to be substantially more common based on our 14 events.
Bearing/Range Estimation Method using NLS Cost Function in IDRS System

The IDRS provides detection, classification and bearing/range estimation by performing wavefront curvature analysis on an intercepted active transmission from target. Especially, a estimate of the target bearing/range that significantly affects the optimal operation of own submarine is required. Target bearing/range can be estimated by wavefront curvature ranging which use the difference of time arrival at sensors. But estimation ambiguity occur in bearing/range estimation due to a number of peaks caused by high center frequency and limited bandwidth of the intercepted active transmission and distortion caused by noise. As a result the bearing/range estimation performance is degraded. To estimate target bearing/range correctly, bearing/range estimation method that eliminate estimation ambiguity is required. In this paper, therefore, for wavefront curvature ranging, NLS cost function with curve fitting method is proposed, which provide robust bearing/range estimation performance by eliminating estimation ambiguity. Through simulation the performance of the proposed bearing/range estimation methods are verified.
Study of pipeline transportation scheme of high-solidifying oil in Tarim oilfield

The extra physical characteristics of crude oil in Sanjay section of Tarim oilfield are high-wax(12.8 %), high solidifying point(20 ℃), and high wax appearance temperature(WAT)(31.5 ℃); therefore, the transportation of oil by a pipeline is difficult. However, the gas condensate oil in Xinjiang JiLaKe has excellent characteristic including lower solidifying point. So, a new Scheme is carried out: above two type oil are blended in Lunnan oil and gas gathering and transportation station, then transported. The experimental result shows that the solidifying point and WAT of Sanjay oil is lowered by the addition of JiLaKe gas condensate; even if the pipeline is not insulation treatment, the temperature at the end of transportation pipeline can meet the technological requirements. Thus, this scheme is successful, and the total investment is 6,140,000 RMB.
Circuit quantum magneto-mechanics : interfacing single molecular spins with nanomechanical resonators in the quantum regime.

The spin degree of freedom is a natural candidate to carry quantum information. Because of a generally weak coupling to its environment, it benefits from long lifetimes even in solid-state devices. The counterpart of this natural isolation is the challenge to engineer efficient control and readout of these spin states. Even more challenging is the coupling between distant spins, which is fundamental requirement to perform quantum computations. Among the various types of existing spin systems, molecular spins have shown remarkable properties. They are stable, they can be produced in large numbers of absolutely identical molecules and their properties are tuned and defined via chemical synthesis. The host group is recognized as an international leader in the field of molecular spins and has recently demonstrated elementary quantum information processing with such spins.

Besides, it is known that in a solid state context, the dominant source of decay for molecular spins comes from the coupling to their mechanical environment via spin-phonon coupling. These phonons are often seen as a nuisance, but they actually constitute an interesting degree of freedom that has recently been intensely investigated in the field of circuit quantum electromechanics. The ER has acquired experience in this field during his 3.5 years of postdoc in the group of Konrad Lehnert (USA), a pioneering group in this field. 

We propose to take advantage of the natural spin-phonon coupling in molecular magnets, maximize it, and use it as a resource to control and readout molecular spins on fast time scales. The architecture consists of a molecular spin deposited on a mechanical oscillator in the quantum regime, which is controlled using the powerful techniques available in circuit quantum electromechanics. Such an interface could enable the coupling of distant molecular spins, but also the coupling to other degree of freedom such as optical photons, superconducting qubits or other spin systems.
Xcore: enabling breakthrough weight reduction for the next generation of cars

The main objective of the overall innovation project is to provide a technical solution, XCORE, for cost-efficient production of Carbon Fibre Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) structural components for the automotive industry. This breakthrough innovation enables Europe to create the next generation, low emission and high safety car. 

European climate policy sets mandatory emission reduction targets for new cars. Car weight reduction with a CFRP chassis is an effective measure to reduce fuel consumption, increase passenger safety and extend electric and hybrid vehicles range. The mainstream automotive industry has not adopted CFRP for chassis production due to the high costs of CFRP production.

XCORE has an overall cost reduction of 40% with respect to conventional CFRP manufacturing. XCORE uses an expanding foam with gas filled thermoplastic microspheres in a closed mould to create the high pressure necessary for curing, while conventional production is based on expensive autoclave technology. 

The key market consists of the car manufacturing companies in Europe, which produce yearly 17.3 million vehicles. The ambition of Donkervoort is a 10% market share of chassis production with XCORE in 2023. The XCORE chassis reduces the car weight with 10 to 12%, resulting in a yearly European fuel consumption reduction of 1.21 billion litres, a cost reduction of EUR 1.17 billion and reduction of 3 billion kilogramme of CO2.

In this feasibility assessment the final hurdles will be taken towards an Europe wide market introduction supported by a convincing demonstration with two large car manufacturing companies. The technical feasibility of reducing cycle time and fully automate the production process of XCORE on a commercial scale is assessed. The economic viability depends on substantiating the environmental and economic benefits, creating a competent consortium for executing the demonstration project, and writing a strong market implementation roadmap.
Fast track innovative drilling system for deep geothermal challenges in europe

Europe is confronted with significant changes arising from globalisation and the currently political challenges. This means for example based on the latest developments in Ukraine and exceptionally strong European dependency on gas from Russia, deep geothermal energy particularly based on engineered geothermal systems is becoming even more important to care for Europe`s energy security.

If deep geothermal energy from EGSs becomes a significant cornerstone in future energy strategy, there is an urgent need to provide cost-efficient and novel drilling technologies and concepts in order to open up new European geothermal reservoirs for energy exploitation.

Therefore the overall goal of ThermoDrill is the development of an innovative drilling system based on the combination of conventional rotary drilling with water jetting that will allow at least 50% faster drilling in hard rock, a cost reduction of more than 30% for the subsurface construction and a minimized risk of induced seismic activity.

In order to achieve these goals ThermoDrill will mainly address the following research and development topics:
• enhanced water jet drilling technology for borehole construction and replacement of fracking;
• HT/HP crystalline rock jetting and drilling fluids;
• systematic redesign of the overall drilling process, particularly the casing design and cementing;
• evaluation of drilling technologies and concepts in terms of HSE (health, safety and environmental) compliance.

A challenging project such as ThermoDrill can only be addressed by joint and concerted actions of outstanding experts. This means that the ThermoDrill consortium partners belong to Europe`s leading experts in the field of deep drilling technologies/designs, drilling fluids, simulation, optimal shaping of tools like rockbits, etc. The consortium is already well connected through a variety of long standing research partnerships and won’t need great efforts to adjust and synchronize quickly.
Chemical Composition and Biological Activities of Essential Oils of Eremanthus erythropappus (DC) McLeisch (Asteraceae)

The chemical composition of the essential oils obtained by hydrodistillation of different parts of Eremanthus erythropappus, including leaves, branches and inflorescences, was investigated by Gas Chromatography and Gas Chromatography/Mass Spectrometry. The antimicrobial activity of the oils was assessed by the disc diffusion and microdilution methods, while the antioxidant activity was evaluated by DPPH and reducing power tests. The main compounds found in the essential oils derived from the inflorescences and leaves were β-caryophyllene, germacrene-D, α-copaene and β-pinene. α-Bisabolol was the major component in the branches. The oils were active against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes and fungi, but not Escherichia coli and Pseudomonas aeruginosa. The MIC values ranged from 0.01 to 0.50 mg/mL. Using the DPPH test, the IC50 values ranged from 38.77 ± 0.76 to 102.24 ± 1.96 μg/mL, while the reducing power test produced IC50 values between 109.85 ± 1.68 and 169.53 ± 0.64 μg/mL. The results revealed that the E. erythropappus oils are new promising potential sources of antimicrobial and antioxidant compounds with good future practical applications for human health.

Maximum Likelihood Estimation and Inference for Approximate Factor Models of High Dimension

An approximate factor model of high dimension has two key features. First, the idiosyncratic errors are correlated and heteroskedastic over both the crosssection and time dimensions; the correlations and heteroskedasticities are of unknown forms. Second, the number of variables is comparable or even greater than the sample size. Thus a large number of parameters exist under a high dimensional approximate factor model. Most widely used approaches to estimation are principal component based. This paper considers the maximum likelihood-based estimation of the model. Consistency, rate of convergence, and limiting distributions are obtained under various identification restrictions. Comparison with the principal component method is made. The likelihoodbased estimators are more ecient than those of principal component based. Monte Carlo simulations show the method is easy to implement and an application to the U.S. yield curves is considered.
Development of hydrophobic windscreen coating for next generation civil tilt rotor

The HaSU project directly addresses the challenges inherent to design, fabricate, and experimentally demonstrate a new type of hydrophobic coating for the Next Generation Civil Tilt Rotor (NGCTR) windscreen. In HaSU, a durable surface coating on the windshield to shed water will be developed and qualified to maintain pilot's visibility without using wipers. More in details, the HaSU project aims at providing:

1. Design and development of a specimen of the NGCTR windscreen substrate having the requested hydrophobic functionalities and performance throughout the whole flight envelope (to be reached in the WP1). 
2. Manufacturing of hydrophobic windscreen specimens (to be reached in the WP2).
3. Testing and qualification of proposed hydrophobic specimens according to RTCA DO-160 (Environmental Conditions and Test Procedures for Airborne Equipment of proposed hydrophobic specimens (to be reached in the WP3).

The proposed technological solutions start at a TRL4 level and will make it possible to reach TRL6 at the end of the project.
Satellite technology for advanced railway signalling

The STARS project paves the way for the future EGNSS deployment in safety relevant railway applications. By evolving the highly developed and deployed ERTMS standard through the implementation of the satellite positioning functionality, it will be possible to reduce the cost of the future railway signalling systems, especially for lines with lower traffic density. The project deals with three main topics: 1) The elaboration of reference data and characterisation of the railway environment through a measurement campaign; 2) The assessment of the EGNSS performances achievable in the railway environment with the determination of the applicable requirements for the positioning system as well as the necessary evolutions of EGNSS services and ERTMS/ETCS functions and 3) Quantification of the economic benefits and specifying the possible implementation roadmap when applying the EGNSS on railways.
The project is strongly linked with other initiatives and actions on the same topic in Europe. In order to feed directly into the standardization work of ERTMS, the project partners will cooperate closely with UNISIG. Moreover, the project will actively interact with NGTC (EU funded FP7) and the results will be directly implemented by SHIFT2RAIL, providing the practical demonstrators for different categories of railway tracks. The approach developed in STARS is also taking the profit of the strong know-how inherited from civil aviation, making this project as completely integrated and consistent in overall activities in Europe and worldwide, leading to the effective deployment of the satellite technologies in advanced railway signalling systems.
