Multiscale observation networks for optical monitoring of coastal waters, lakes and estuaries

MONOCLE innovates and develops sensor, platform, and data handling technologies to increase coverage and lower the cost of in situ sensors in inland and coastal water bodies. These ecosystems are particularly vulnerable to direct anthropogenic impacts but of high economic importance and crucial to sustainable food, energy, and clean water supply. At the same time, these water bodies represent areas of the weakest performance in present EO capability to date. 

The MONOCLE system will reduce uncertainties in Earth Observation (EO) by characterising atmospheric and water optical properties. MONOCLE will deploy new and improved sensors on autonomous platforms (buoys, ships, drones), and further fill information gaps by developing low-cost complementary solutions for citizen scientists. This will provide essential reference observations needed to further improve and grow EO-based water quality services. 

MONOCLE will be requirement-driven and implemented by sensor and platform developers, sensor-data infrastructure experts, and EO scientists. A service-oriented data storage, processing, and visualisation infrastructure based on open data standards will integrate MONOCLE seamlessly with existing platforms. This also allows MONOCLE to build sensor performance traceability into its core to support synergistic sensor use and data inspection to identify sensor drift and episodic events.

MONOCLE will demonstrate the added value of EO and water quality oriented sensor network to Copernicus EO services, GEOSS data brokering and GEO capacity building initiatives through a number of validation campaigns and use cases, including data-poor regions where no similar infrastructure yet exists. It is expected that the evolution of system standards, new sensors and innovative use of observation platforms of MONOCLE will foster innovation and commercial opportunities for the EO commercial sector and its downstream users in domains ranging from public health to energy and food security.
Gliodx - blood platelet-based monitoring and treatment optimisation for glioblastoma patients

Glioblastoma (GBM) is a devastating primary brain cancer which affects about 230.000 people annually. The choice for treatment depends on the subtype of GBM. An accurate detection of tumour subtype is therefore essential for a personalised targeted treatment. Diagnosis, classification and treatment monitoring occurs currently by radiology and repeated invasive biopsies. There is a need for non-invasive, actionable biomarkers for early-stage diagnosis and disease monitoring.
During our ERC research, we discovered that mRNA sequenced from tumour-educated platelets enables for pan-cancer, multiclass cancer and companion diagnostics. We were able to distinguish between primary and metastasised tumours in the brain and also establish the molecular subtype of the tumour. These findings provide strong support for using tumour-educated platelets as a biomarker for early stratification, diagnosis and prognosis for personalised GBM treatment.

As a proof-of-concept of our innovative diagnostic tests, we will validate the proprietary algorithms underlying these tests specifically in GBM patients. To achieve this, we focus on the differentiation of glioblastoma subtype based on the platelet mRNA profile. In addition we will validate treatment monitoring and response prediction to an EGFR targeted drug in GBM patients.

GlioDx will also assess the feasibility to commercialise the technology. The team has developed several business and IP models which need to be assessed thoroughly through in-depth market research and business planning activities. The results need to be consolidated into a strong business plan that will be presented to investors and strategic investors.

The phenomenon of automation will lead to the progressive loss of jobs in Europe. However, this phenomenon will transform work into new, more professional and safer jobs for the worker. Already today, companies in the ALCOTRA region are complaining about the lack of engineers in the ICT and systems engineering sector, and research centres are having difficulty recruiting new researchers. The macro-region ALCOTRA has a huge potential and a long tradition regarding the courses in the field of engineering and automation systems, such as the two partners of the SysE2021 project. The overall objective of the project is to create a joint cross-border collaboration in the framework of a master’s level education in complex systems engineering.
Human-Animal Relationship: Understanding Animal Rights in the Islamic Ecological Paradigm

Animals have encountered cruelty and suffering throughout the ages. It is something perpetrated up till this day, particularly, in factory farms, animal laboratories, and even in the name of sports or amusement. However, since the second half of the twentieth century, there has been growing concerns for animal welfare and the protection of animal rights within the discourse of environmentalism, developed mainly in the West. Nevertheless, a recently developed Islamic Ecological Paradigm (IEP) rooted in the classical Islamic traditions contests the Western monopoly of modern environmentalism, suggesting that there is much in Islamic traditions dealing with environmental issues including non-human animal species. IEP asserts that several centuries ago Islamic traditions significantly focused on and strongly advocated for animal welfare and animal rights. This paper explores and examines animal rights within the broader spectrum of Islamic environmentalism or Islamic eco-ethic. While the philosophical roots of IEP concerning animal rights date far back in seventh century, it can potentially make both ethical and educational contributions to the twenty-first century environmentalism and animal rights movements.

Limitation to Communication of Fermionic System in Accelerated Frame

In this article, we investigate communication between an inertial observer and an accelerated observer, sharing fermionic system, when they use classical and quantum communication using single rail or dual rail encoding. The purpose of this work is to understand the limit to the communication between an inertial observer and an accelerated observer, with single rail or dual rail encoding of fermionic system. We observe that at the infinite acceleration, the coherent information of single(or double) rail quantum channel vanishes, but those of classical ones may have finite values. In addition, we see that even when considering a method beyond the single-mode approximation, for the communication between Alice and Bob, the dual rail entangled state seems to provide better information transfer than the single rail entangled state, when we take a fixed choice of the Unruh mode. Moreover, we find that the single-mode approximation may not be sufficient to analyze communication of fermionic system in an accelerated frame.
Go go games

In this paper, we describe the design of a therapeutic video game suite for early elementary children with autism spectrum disorders (ASD). The purpose of this work is to present our hypothesis that games that are both fun and faithful to evidence-based therapies could serve as a mechanism to reduce the gap between the amount of therapy recommended for children with ASD and the amount they receive. We describe our process of creating a suite of games modeled on Pivotal Response Treatment (PRT), a technique known to be effective in educating children with ASD. We also describe early indicators of game engagement and outline planned future work to test the games' efficacy as therapeutic tools.

Intrinsic Channel Mobility of Amorphous, In–Ga–Zn–O Thin-Film Transistors by a Gated Four-Probe Method

Intrinsic mobility and intrinsic channel resistance $(R_{\rm CH})$ of amorphous, In–Ga–Zn–O (a-IGZO) thin-film transistors (TFTs) with varying channel length $(L)$ are investigated using a gated four-probe back-channel-etched TFT design. The intrinsic $R_{\rm CH}$ is found to decrease from ${\sim}{500}$ to ${\sim}{\rm 250}~{\rm k}\Omega$ per unit area by increasing $V_{\rm GS}$ from 10 to 20 V. The intrinsic mobility is ${\sim}{\rm 17}~{\rm cm}^{2}/{\rm V}\cdot{\rm s}$ , which is about 20% higher than that derived from the normal two-point probe measurements. Source and drain parasitic resistance $(R_{\rm PAR})$ of the a-IGZO TFTs is found to be of the same order of magnitude as the $R_{\rm CH}$ —which is different from hydrogenated amorphous-silicon (a-Si:H) TFTs, where TFT operation is dominated by $R_{\rm PAR}$ .

Static and Dynamic Neural Network Approach for Short Term Flood Forecasting A Comparative Study

artificial neural networks (ANNs) have been applied to various hydrologic problems recently. This research demonstrates static and dynamic neural approach by applying Time lagged recurrent neural network and Radial basis function neural network to rainfall-runoff modeling for the upper area of Wardha River in India. The model is developed by processing online data over time using static and dynamic connections. Methodologies and techniques of the two models are presented in this paper and a comparison of the short term runoff prediction results between them is also conducted. The prediction results of the Time lagged recurrent neural network indicate a satisfactory performance in the three hours ahead of time prediction. The conclusions also indicate that Time lagged recurrent neural network is more versatile than Radial basis function neural network and can be considered as an alternate and practical tool for predicting short term flood flow. General Terms:- Prediction, Radial basis function neural network, Time lagged recurrent neural network.

Robust speed controller design for induction motors based on IFOC and Kharitonov theorem

In this paper, robust PI controllers are designed to control the speed of induction motors based on a vector control strategy. The design methodology defines the robust stability and robust performance regions in the $k_{p}-k_{i}$ (PI controller coefficients) plane using the Kharitonov theorem. In the control system design procedure, a nonlinear induction motor is modeled as an uncertain linear model. The procedure of modeling the uncertainties is presented. The required scientific foundations for designing a robust PI controller are also introduced in the general case while the necessary equations are derived. In the final step, the design procedure for a special motor is presented thoroughly. The simulation results indicate the efficiency of the method.

Dynamic price model based on transmission delay — Petroleum price fluctuation in China

Petroleum is a kind of fundamental energy resource. Its price fluctuation transmits from upper-stream industry to the lower-stream industry as the production factors price changes. And this leads to the price changes of final consumption. Meantime, due to the cycle of industrial chain, the price changes of lower-stream industry also affect the upper-stream industry in return. This price transmission path is quite complicated. Firstly, it includes both direct and indirect paths; secondly, the transmission process is accompanied with time delay. The traditional input-output price model based on cost-push theory can efficiently solve the first problem when estimating the impact of price fluctuation on the whole price system. However, it neither reflects the dynamic characteristics of price transmission with time nor solves the second problem. To solve this problem, this paper uses the directed weighted network to describe the price transmission among industrial sectors by taking the time-dimension into account, and dynamic price transmission network model is constructed. This model not only describes transmission time delay more accurately, but also calculates the price fluctuation dynamically. On this basis, by utilizing the 2007 Chinese input-output table, this paper conducts empirical analysis on the impact of petroleum price fluctuation on other sectors. The empirical results indicate that the price fluctuation transmission mainly depends on two factors, the price reaction period T k and the consumption relationship with petroleum a ik . 1) If t < T k , then the price change of sector k at period t Δp t k = 0, the petroleum price fluctuation has not transmitted to the sector k, so the price of sector k remains unchanged. 2) If t > T k , then Δp t k > 0, and the greater a ik , the higher price change rate. 3) If t → ∞, it is the same with that in traditional input-output price model. So it can be clearly seen that dynamic price transmission network model is more general than the traditional model, and the traditional model is just an asymptotical special case when time approaches to infinity.
Enrichment of components at interfaces and mass transfer in fluid separation technologies

Techniques for separating fluid mixtures are important in many industries like the chemical and pharmaceutical industry. The most relevant of these separation techniques, like distillation and absorption, are based on mass transfer over fluid interfaces. Results from molecular thermodynamics, which have recently become available, show that for many industrially important mixtures a strong enrichment of components occurs at the fluid interface. There is a striking congruence between shortcomings of the present design methods for fluid separations and the occurrence of that enrichment. It is the central hypothesis of the present research that the enrichment leads to a mass transfer resistance of the fluid interface which has to be accounted for in fluid separation process design. The fact that it is presently neglected causes unnecessary empiricism and inconsistencies in the design. ENRICO will advance the knowledge on the enrichment of components at fluid interfaces using a novel combination of two independent theoretical methods, namely molecular simulations with force fields on one side and density gradient theory coupled with equations of state on the other. This will enable reliable predictions of the occurrence of the enrichment and its magnitude. These results will be combined with the theory of irreversible thermodynamics to establish for the first time a model for the mass transfer resistance of the interface due to the enrichment. On that basis, a new approach for designing fluid separation processes will be developed in ENRICO, which will lead to more efficient and robust designs. The theoretical results will be validated by experiments from laboratory to pilot plant scale, and the benefits of the new approach will be demonstrated. ENRICO will thus establish a link between molecular physics and engineering practice. The results from ENRICO will have a major impact on chemical engineering world-wide and change the way fluid separation processes are designed.
Reduction of the systemic inflammatory response in patients with CAP treated with corticosteroids improves clinical outcome and reduces mortality and ICU admittance

Corticosteroids can improve clinical outcome in patients with pneumonia. However, little is known about the effects of corticosteroids on systemic cytokine levels in these patients or which patients benefit most from corticosteroid therapy. Hospitalized, non-immunocompromised patients with CAP were randomly assigned to a 4-day course of dexamethasone (5 mg once a day) or placebo. Serum levels of IL-1Ra, IL-6, IL-8, IL-10, IL-17, TNF-α, INF-γ, MIP and MCP were measured at various time-points during hospital stay. We enrolled 304 patients. The median levels of IL-6, MCP, TNF-a, IL-8, and IL1ra, all were significantly lower (p When IL6, IL-8 and MCP, being the most prominent proinflammatory cytokines were combined, patients who had all three cytokines above a predefined cut-off point benefited most from dexamethasone therapy. In the dexamethasone group only 2 patients (8,3%) died, while in the placebo group 8 patients (47%) died (p: Conclusion: Proinflammatory cytokines and chemokines decreased more rapidly in dexamethasone treated patients compared to placebo treated patients. This effect was most evident in patients with an atypical bacterium. In patients with highest cytokine response, dexamethasone showed a reduction in mortality and ICU admittance.
Modeling and Simulation of Startup Process of Circulating Fluidized Bed Boiler

Via analyzing the startup process of intake hot gas ignition of the circulating fluidized bed boiler, the startup process is divided into two phases: the heating by the gas for inert bed material before adding coal and the reaction after coal is fed. The model for the former is obtained based on the energy balance of the whole bed, while for the latter the model consists of dynamic equations of oxygen concentration, total bed material, unburned carbon mass and total energy. Then a simple startup process model of intake hot gas ignition of circulating fluidized bed boiler was established, the results of simulations indicated the model is right. Finally, the validated model system was used to simulate the curves for temperature increase of CFBB in different operating conditions.
