Suburbanization in Global Society

Most urban growth over the last several decades has been in suburban areas, but research in urban sociology and other urban disciplines has been focused on the city (the global city, the networked city, the post-industrial city). A majority of the world population lives in urban areas, most in suburban regions, including the shanty towns of Asia, favelas of South America, slums of Africa and banileue and inner-city suburbs of the developed nations. Suburbanization in Global Society presents new and innovative contributions in comparative suburban studies for urban regions, not just in Europe and the United States but also including emerging metropolitan regions in China, India and other areas of the world. This volume examines the emerging patterns of suburban development in metropolitan regions around the globe. Research is post-1945 with a particular focus upon social and cultural change in suburbanisation processes in developed as well as emerging urban countries.
Prenatal Exposure to Butylbenzyl Phthalate and Early Eczema in an Urban Cohort

Recent cross-sectional studies suggest a link between butylbenzyl phthalate (BBzP) in house dust and childhood eczema.We aimed to evaluate whether concentrations of monobenzyl phthalate (MBzP), the main BBzP metabolite in urine, during pregnancy are associated prospectively with eczema in young children, and whether this association varies by the child's sensitization to indoor allergens or serological evidence of any allergies.MBzP was measured in spot urine samples during the third trimester of pregnancy from 407 African-American and Dominican women residing in New York City in 1999-2006. Repeated questionnaires asked mothers whether their doctor ever said their child had eczema. Child blood samples at 24, 36, and 60 months of age were analyzed for total, anti-cockroach, dust mite, and mouse IgE. Relative risks (RR) were estimated with multivariable modified Poisson regression. Analyses included a multinomial logistic regression model for early- and late-onset eczema versus no eczema through 60 months of age.MBzP was detected in > 99% of samples (geometric mean = 13.6; interquartile range: 5.7-31.1 ng/mL). By 24 months, 30% of children developed eczema, with the proportion higher among African Americans (48%) than among Dominicans (21%) (p < 0.001). An interquartile range increase in log MBzP concentration was associated positively with early-onset eczema (RR = 1.52 for eczema by 24 months; 95% confidence interval: 1.21, 1.91, p = 0.0003, n = 113 reporting eczema/376 total sample), adjusting for urine specific gravity, sex, and race/ethnicity. MBzP was not associated with allergic sensitization, nor did seroatopy modify consistently the MBzP and eczema association.Prenatal exposure to BBzP may influence the risk of developing eczema in early childhood.

Inequality, urbanization and territorial cohesion: developing the european social model of economic growth and democratic capacity (coshmo)

The principal aim of COHSMO is to investigate the relation between socio-economic structures of inequality, urbanization and territorial cohesion, and how territorial cohesion at different European scales affect economic growth, spatial justice and democratic capacities. The way that public, private and civil society stakeholders counter or cushion spatial injustice varies across localities in Europe. In common, is the need to develop the institutional capacities for place-based collaboration and democratically mobilize communities for policy development and adaption. Although location and place have gained attention in European policy and the theoretical thinking informing regional development policies, it is argued in COHSMO that we need to change our orientation in the direction of making place-informed theories and policies instead of applying existing theories and policies on places. This will be done by providing a cross-case analysis and assessment of territorial cohesion within three different cases in each of the seven national partner contexts based on a mixed-method and locality-sensitive approach. The fieldwork will focus firstly on the relation between policy instruments and local experiences of territorial cohesion, and secondly on how “social investment strategies” relate to territorial cohesion and local conditions. Moreover, the project engages in an assessment of spatial development policies at different governance scales to map the impact of different policy instruments in the fight against spatial inequality and spatial injustice. COHSMO is innovative in its differentiated approach to how location matters, and coupled with its conceptual advances COHSMO will develop groundbreaking policy recommendations in relation to sustainable economic growth, spatial justice and democratic capacity. Because they stem from location-sensitive and cross-contextual research, such recommendations will make it possible to develop the European Social Model.
Perpedes: ai-assisted therapy in stroke rehabilitation

Annually, about 360,000 Europeans need to follow mobility rehabilitation therapy due to stroke in order to fully or partially regain their mobility functions and return to actively participate in society, and this group is growing rapidly. Current neuro-rehabilitation devices present significant limitations to the recovery of patients, such as poor resemblance to anatomic movements, difficult entry into the device and high costs. As a result, mobility rehabilitation can hardly meet today´s expectations and leads to an increasing number of mobility impaired individuals, who have not only lost mobility but also a vital connection to society in the form of work, social activities and sports. 
schepp medtech from Graz, Austria, has designed PerPedes, a revolutionary robotic and end-effector-based neuro-rehabilitation device. In its patented and certified design (TÜV, CE) PerPedes applies common robotics technology to overcome the limitations of current systems. Current PerPedes version has been installed in clinics and daily therapy centres in Eurpe and China. To prepare PerPedes for the future, we need to (i) include a combination of new intelligent software and hardware features to support mobility rehabilitation therapy on a personalised level, (ii) prepare the mechatronics system for production, and (iii) optimise the data management system to facilitate patients and therapists. 
Main customers of PerPedes are rehabilitation centres and clinics offering mobility rehabilitation. Due to the growing incidence of stroke, annually up to 1 Million new patients are expected to start using these devices, creating a strong growth in demand. PerPedes will be distributed by a network of well-known medtech distributors to ensure successful sales. Successful commercial launch of PerPedes is expected to result in €11.3 Million of annual sales revenues and €4.7 Million of annual profits (ROI 5.7), as well as the creation of 22 new jobs by 2024.
Metabolic interactions in oceanic photosymbioses

Symbiosis between heterotrophic hosts and microalgae (photosymbiosis) is a widespread and ecologically important phenomenon in the oceanic plankton. Symbiotic organisms like radiolarians (unicellular eukaryotes) are key players in marine biogeochemical cycles by contributing to predation and primary production. While knowledge of the diversity of symbiotic partners has improved in recent years, metabolic interactions remain poorly understood. This project will explore the metabolic basis of planktonic photosymbiosis, with radiolarians as an ecologically relevant model, to understand the functioning of the partnership and its contribution to elemental cycling in the pelagic ecosystem. An original and cutting-edge single-cell approach involving stable isotopes and high-resolution chemical imaging techniques (e.g. ToF-SIMS and nanoSIMS) will be used to visualize the elemental and isotopic composition of intact radiolarian symbioses at the subcellular level, and to quantify the assimilation and transfer of nutrients between partners in different experimental conditions. The same approach will be applied on cultured free-living symbionts to determine the degree of host control over symbiont metabolism. In order to develop a holistic view of metabolic interactions, bioinformatic analyses will identify key metabolic genes and pathways from available transcriptomes of radiolarians. The exceptional microscopy facility and expertise in isotope biogeochemistry at the host institution is unique in Europe. Given the interdisciplinary nature of the project consortium, the potential for exchanging new knowledge and skills is very high. This project pushes back the boundaries of marine biological research and represents a significant step in my personal development towards my long-term research ambition to merge knowledge on biodiversity and physiology into ecological studies to better understand the functioning of aquatic ecosystems and their responses to anthropogenic pressures.
Tritium release property of Li2TiO3-Li4SiO4 biphasic ceramics

Abstract The tritium release experiments of Li4SiO4 pebbles, Li2TiO3 pebbles and Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles were conducted to investigated the tritium release behavior of Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles. The results indicate that the biphasic ceramic pebbles with uniform structure and small grain size exhibit good tritium release performance. The tritium release temperature is around 450 °C, and most of tritium is released in the form of tritiated water. The tritium release behavior of Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles is controlled by the release of both Li2TiO3 and Li4SiO4, and the interfaces between Li2TiO3 and Li4SiO4 can promote the tritium release. Besides, the surface reaction is the key process affected the tritium release of the Li4SiO4-Li2TiO3 biphasic pebbles, because the release behavior is significantly affected by the composition of purge gas. Under 0.1% H2+He purge gas, with the combined effect of the two-phase interface and the isotope exchange reaction, the tritium release properties of the biphasic pebbles are promoted.
Etiology, pathogenicity and management of collar rot in Cockscomb (Celosia argentea).

Collar rot induced by Macrophomina phaseolina, recently appeared as one of the most significant constraints to the production of Cockscomb (Celosia argentea L.), an ornamental plant. Symptoms include, wilting of the plant, chlorosis of lower leaves, shrinking of stem at collar region, which becomes black at later stage and affected plant become shredded, consequently a clear mycelial growth of the fungus can be seen if the stem of the affected plant is split open. In this study, the causal fungus was isolated from the diseased tissues (collar and stem regions, externally and internally). Then the pathogenicity test of isolated pathogens was confirmed through Koch’s postulates. Considering the management trials, five fungicides (Carbendazim, Thiophenate-M, Ridomil Gold, Antracol and Score) and five different plant extracts (Azadirachta indicia L., Melia azedarach L., Eucalyptus cameldulensis L., Syzygium cumini L. and Moringa oleifera L.) were evaluated against the collar rot disease pathogen (Macrophomina phaseolina) by poison food technique at different concentrations viz., 100, 150, 200 and 250 μg/mL for fungicides and 10, 15 and 20% for plant extracts. Out of five fungicides used, Topsin M and Antracol were found to be most effective in reducing the mycelial growth of M. phaseolina by (83%) and (76%) followed by Ridomil Gold, Score and Carbendazim (46, 39 and 29% reduction). In case of plant extracts, A. indicia and E. cameldulensis extracts were more effective by reducing the mycelial growth of M. phaseolina by 77 and 74%, respectively, followed by M. oleifera, M. azedarach, and S. cumini (61, 45 and 18% reduction). © 2015 Friends Science Publishers
Paleoproteomics for cultural heritage conservation: biomolecular analysis of ancient egyptian paint binders

This project aims to identify the biological species of origin, as well as molecular damage, of proteins used as binding media in ancient Egypt painted artifacts and architecture specimens dating 3000 BC - 600 AD by applying mass spectrometry-based proteomic strategies.
A wide part of the artistic production of ancient Egypt civilization is surprisingly still available to us and it is carefully preserved in Egyptian collections spread worldwide. Proteins represent a widely used category of paint binders in ancient Egypt but, at present, only few analyses have been undertaken, leaving several questions open such as: were different proteins preferred for different applications? Did they differ according to period and geographical area? How did proteins in paint formulations modify over millennia? Protein-based samples from ancient Egyptian painted objects will be analysed using state-of-the-art proteomics strategies by high-resolution mass spectrometry. A first screening of the samples will be performed at the British Museum while bottom-up, top-down and quantitative proteomic approaches will be accomplished at the Centre for GeoGenetics. The correct identification of the proteinaceous paint binder, as well as of its biochemical damage, will contribute to understand the artistic technology and to develop proper conservation treatments compatible with the original materials to preserve our cultural heritage for future generations. 
The Researcher’s skill in analytical chemistry for the investigation of cultural heritage materials, as well as her network with museums and curatorial departments, will be beneficial to the host institution, especially because of the ‘TEMPERA’ European Training Networking coordinated by the main supervisor. At the same time, by receiving advanced, dedicated, research based training on ancient proteomics, her expertise will be significantly enriched, with clear benefits for her future professional career.

In-Silico boosted, pest prevention and off-season focused ipm against new and emerging fruit flies ('off-season' ff-ipm)

The FF-IPM project targets three highly polyphagous fruit fly (FF) species (Tephritidae) that cause devastating losses in the fresh fruit producing industry, the Mediterranean fruit fly (Ceratitis capitata), a serious emerging pest in northern temperate areas of Europe, the Oriental fruit fly (Bactrocera dorsalis) and the peach fruit fly (B. zonata) two major new (invasive) pests, which pose an imminent threat to European horticulture. The project aims to introduce in-silico supported prevention, detection and Integrated Pest Management (IPM) approaches for both new and emerging FF, based on spatial modelling across a wide range of spatial levels, novel decision support systems, and new knowledge regarding biological traits of the target species, fruit trading and socioeconomics. FF-IPM introduces a fundamental paradigm shift in IPM towards “OFF-Season” management of FF by targeting the overwintering generation when population undergoes significant bottlenecks, preventing, this way, population growth later in season. “ON-Season” control approaches will be generated for different spatial scales considering both existing and developed by FF-IPM tools and services. Innovative prevention tools to track FF infested fruit (e-Nose) and rapidly identify intercepted specimens (Rapid-Molecular-Pest-ID tools) in imported commodities and at processing industries will be produced. Species specific e-trapping systems for the three-target FF will be advanced and employed by novel detection strategies based on spatial modelling. Both “ON and OFF-Season” IPM approaches and detection strategies will be validated in selected locations in eight different countries. FF-IPM generated data on FF response under stress conditions, overwintering dynamics, establishment and dispersion patterns of low population densities combined with advanced spatial population modeling are expected to contribute towards understanding drivers of emerging and new pests under climate change scenarios.

Effects of microbial inoculations on soil chemical, biochemical and microbial biomass carbon of cassava (Manihot esculentaCrantz) growing Vertisols

Cassava is an important subsidiary food in the tropics. In Tamil Nadu, India, microbial cultures were used to eradicate the tuberous root rot of cassava. Hence, an experiment was conducted for two consecutive years to test the effects of coinoculation of microbes on soil properties. The surface soil from the experimental site was analysed for soil available nutrients, soil enzyme activities and microbial biomass carbon. The treatment of Azospirillum with Trichoderma at the 50% recommended N:P2O5:K2O (NPK) rate (50:25:50 kg ha−1) significantly increased soil available nitrogen (142.81 kg ha−1) by 72.66% over uninoculated control. There was a significant increase in available phosphorus in soil by the inoculation of AM (arbuscular mycorrhizal) fungi with Trichoderma at the 50% recommended NPK rate (41.04 kg ha−1) compared to other treatments. The application of Pseudomonas fluorescens with Trichoderma at the 50% recommended NPK rate significantly increased available iron (19.34 µg g−1) in soil. The treatmen...
