Synergies for europe's research infrastructures in the social sciences

Europe is facing huge socio-economic challenges: an economic crisis with a young generation in search of jobs, population ageing potentially straining inclusion and innovation of our societies, climate change with its pressures to redesign energy, transport and housing patterns, just to name some of the most urgent “Grand Challenges”. SERISS brings together three research infrastructures in the social sciences: the European Social Survey (ESS), the Survey for Health Ageing and Retirement in Europe and the Consortium of European Social Science Data Archives (CESSDA). Also involved in SERISS are non-ESFRI research infrastructures:  GGP - Generations and Gender Programme; EVS - European Values Survey and the WageIndicator Survey. 
The overarching objective of this project is to support the Union, the Commission and the Member States to tackle these challenges with a solid base of socio-economic evidence.  The scientific objective of this project is to exploit the synergies among these three infrastructures to their fullest extent and to leverage these synergies to influence the still rather fragmented landscape of smaller infrastructures. Specific bjectives are
• to better represent the European population, including target groups of policy measures addressing the Grand Challenges, e.g., young unemployed, older persons in institutions and migrants,
• to strengthen cross-national harmonization across Europe by leveraging recent advances in questionnaire design, translation and coding techniques,
• to exploit the advances in software technology for cost-effective web-based interviewing, more efficient fieldwork management, and to support new ways of collecting data
• to better connect the world of research-driven social surveys with the world of process-generated administrative data, and,
• to ensure that the ethical and data protection concerns of the respondents are properly be taken into account by creating a consistent and EU-wide framework for all social surveys
Modeling of ionic and electronic transport in 2d materials toward memristive applications in neuromorphic computing

The neuromorphic computing paradigm, inspired by the brain's non von-Neumman architecture, constitutes the most auspicious alternative for the More than Moore era. The electronic implementation of the neuron must reproduce the nonvolatile, multilevel, and scalable properties found in the human cortex. Memristors based on two-dimensional (2D) materials are an ideal candidate to emulate the biological synapse. The investigation of the mechanical, thermal and electrical properties that lead to the memristive behaviour in 2D materials and, in particular, the rationalization of the underlying mechanisms causing the memristive effect, are subject of intense scientific debate. The gap between the experimental 2D memristors realizations and the theoretical understanding of their operating principles demand an hollistic modeling approach that is still lacking. In this project, we aim to develop a bottom-up modeling framework for studying memristive systems and its integration in neuromorphic computing networks. To this purpose, we will employ the multi-scale modeling approximation, a powerful and versatile simulation approach that has become an standard increasingly used in the physical and electronic communities and presents clear advantages regarding the level of accuracy and computational burden. The proposed model will be developed in three stages, 1) 2D Material - Ab initio level 2) Memristor - Device level and 3) Neuromorphic networks - Circuit level. The model will be validated using the experimental characterization data form the 2D memristor fabricated during the secondment phase. This project aims to implement a complete design chain able to boost the state-of-the-art technology. The relevance of this Project is based on the premise of developing a novel and disruptive technology with a great future projection, intending to explore the still insufficiently exploited and enormously promising More Than Moore type of solution.

Mechanisms of neuronal network remodeling in the adult mammalian brain

Traumatic events such as strokes or lesions to the adult brain can trigger large-scale reorganization of neuronal activity thought to be critical for functional recovery. The anatomical and molecular events underlying such reorganization remain an enigma. While rapid and short term changes of connections at the synaptic scale are widely studied, little is known about the principles and mechanisms of long-term and large-scale reorganization of axonal branches in mature circuits. I hypothesize that long-range axonal branching events in a minority of neurons contribute significantly to the plasticity and reorganization of adult neuronal circuits via unknown intrinsic mechanisms of axons survival and extrinsic environmental cues. A major reason why so little is known about axon dynamics in the adult brain has been the immense technical challenge of imaging rare axonal events in the dense meshwork of the adult brain. To solve this problem, I will apply new 3D imaging and genetic tools I developed to help visualize and quantify axons and synapses in the whole brain in an unbiased way. First, I will study the brain-wide neurite and synaptic dynamics after lesion and their effect on circuit function and homeostasis to shed light on the scale of brain plasticity. Second, I will characterize the intrinsic molecular pathways controlling activity-driven branch dynamics with viral approaches. I will make extensive use of tissue clearing, 3D imaging, and state-of-the-art image analysis pipelines to streamline the analysis of neuronal network properties. Third, I will investigate the extrinsic molecular and environmental factors promoting axonal dynamics in the context of adult brain structural plasticity. By generating a conceptual and mechanistic framework for the properties and mechanisms of injury induced brain reorganization, this study may contribute to the future design of new strategies to promote brain repair and curb the progress of neurodegenerative diseases.
Beyond the Black Legend: Catholicism and U.S. Empire-Building in the Philippines and Puerto Rico, 1898−1914

In 1898, the United States occupied two territories with long Catholic histories and large Catholic populations: the Philippines and Puerto Rico. While existing scholarship on U.S. colonial empire has focused on anti-Catholicism, Manifest Destiny, and Protestant evangelism (and Catholic responses to these), the turn of the twentieth century also saw new calls for cross-confessional understanding and collaboration, tied to a growing appreciation (on the part of both Catholics and non-Catholics) for the role the Catholic Church could play in the United States’ path to global power. Many American writers and government officials celebrated the export of religious liberty to both the Philippines and Puerto Rico as a mark of the exceptional nature of U.S. empire. They acknowledged the Catholic Church as a powerful, legitimate, and even useful institution in the colonies, and championed the export of an “Americanized” Catholicism to the islands. Yet the different religious histories of each place, and different responses to the U.S. occupation, led to the development of diverse ideas about the particular role that Catholicism could play in each colony.
Social capital and the educational achievement of young people in Sweden

Based on Bourdieu’s conceptualization of social capital (the social stratification perspective), this study examines the impact of social capital on the educational outcomes of young people in Sweden, with a focus on the extra-familial aspect of social capital – that is, social capital generated by parental networks and active membership in various social organizations and friendship networks. The results indicate that the class background of respondents is the main predictor of access to all three forms of extra-familial social capital. However, after controlling for class background, the children of racialized immigrant groups are more likely to have access to more types of social capital than others. All three aspects of extra-familial social capital positively influence the educational performance of pupils.
Array structure for uniform heat distribution with modified dipole elements

An array structure with uniform heat distribution for the applicator in regional hyperthermia treatment is proposed. The array structure is composed with modified dipole elements which are operated at 433 MHz. A dipole element includes branched radiation strip and matching network. The simulation is performed with simplified human body, bolus, and the applicator on FR-4 substrate. The 2×2 array with circularly rotated feeding which rotates the elements clockwise with own direction has uniformly distributed heat pattern than normal array. The heat distribution is observed which is obtained from specific absorption rate (SAR) and bio-heat equation and shows the adequate of the proposed applicator for regional hyperthermia treatment.
Prediction and visual intelligence for security information

The mission of PREVISION is to empower the analysts and investigators of LEAs with tools and solutions not commercially available today, to handle and capitalize on the massive heterogeneous data streams that must be processed during complex crime investigations and threat risk assessments. With criminals being ever more determined to use new and advanced technology for their cause, the aim is to establish PREVISION as an open and future-proof platform for providing cutting-edge practical support to LEAs in their fight against terrorism, organised crime and cybercrime, which represent three major cross-border security challenges that are often interlinked. PREVISION provides advanced near-real-time analytical support for multiple big data streams (coming from online social networks, the open web, the Darknet, CCTV and video surveillance systems, traffic and financial data sources, and many more), subsequently allowing their semantic integration into dynamic and self-learning knowledge graphs that capture the structure, interrelations and trends of terrorist groups and individuals, cybercriminal organisations and organised crime groups, giving rise to enhanced situational awareness in these fields. 
PREVISION has a pan-European engagement and support agenda for LEAs: ten (10) different LEAs and practitioners take part in its consortium, while additional ones (including Europol) have joined its external advisory board. A strong inter-disciplinary dimension, combining technological expertise with sociological, psychological, linguistic and data science models, will lead to a common strategic approach for predicting abnormal and deviant behaviour, radicalisation potential, threat risks for soft targets, and cybercrime trends at different timescales. PREVISION will conduct demonstrations on five representative and complementary use cases, under real-life operational conditions, in full compliance with fundamental rights and applicable legislation.

Near-infrared fluorescence catheter system for two-dimensional intravascular imaging in vivo

Detection of high-risk coronary arterial plaques prior to rupture remains an unmet clinical challenge, in part due to the stringent resolution and sensitivity requirements for in vivo human coronary arterial imaging. To address this need, we have developed a near-infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging catheter system for intra-vascular molecular imaging of atherosclerosis in coronary artery-sized vessels, capable of resolving two-dimensional fluorescence activity in hollow organs, such as blood vessels. Based on a rotational fiber design, the catheter system illuminates and detects perpendicular to the rotational axis, while an automated pullback mechanism enables visualization along blood vessels with a scan speed of up to 1.5 mm/sec. We demonstrate the previously undocumented capacity to produce intravascular NIR fluorescence images of hollow organs in vivo and showcase the performance metrics of the system developed using blood vessel mimicking phantoms. This imaging approach is geared toward in vivo molecular imaging of atherosclerotic biomarkers and is engineered to allow seamless integration into the cardiac catheterization laboratory.
Evaluation of the impacts of gamma radiolysis on an ALSEP process solvent

Separating the minor actinide elements (americium and curium) from the fission product lanthanides is an important step in closing the nuclear fuel cycle. Isolating the minor actinides will allow transmuting them to short lived or stable isotopes in fast reactors, thereby reducing the long-term hazard associated with these elements. The Actinide Lanthanide Separation Process (ALSEP) is being developed by the DOE-NE Material Recovery and Waste Form Development Campaign. The impact of gamma radiolysis upon the efficacy of the ALSEP process was previously evaluated by determining americium, europium, and cerium distribution ratios as a function of absorbed dose using samples taken from this set of test loop irradiations. The measured distribution ratios demonstrated that the ALSEP solvent performance was degraded by γ-irradiation. The compositional analysis of the irradiated ALSEP solvent samples revealed that the decrease in americium, europium, and cerium distribution ratio with increasing absorbed dose is primarily attributable to the loss of the T2EHDGA extractant due to radiolytic degradation.

Improvements in or relating to processes of treating nickelcopper-bearing material

A process of recovering nickel, copper and other metals from copper-nickel-bearing materials of a sulphide character, particularly mattes, comprises subjecting the material to heat in the presence of a stratifying substance to melt it and to form the mass into copper-bearing "tops" and nickel-bearing "bottoms," separating the "tops" from the "bottoms" and recovering pure metallic nickel and copper therefrom in a dry way. The first smelting takes place with alkaline sulphides such as sodium sulphide or a mixture of salt cake and coke, or calcium sulphide and the product is allowed to settle. Separation of the "tops" and "bottoms" may be effected either in the molten state or after solidification. The smelting may also be carried out in two or more steps, the copper sulphide "tops" of the second step being returned to the first smelting step and the nickel "bottoms" of the first step smelted with addition of fresh flux in the second step. The copper sulphide tops of the first step are blown to blister copper. The crushed nickel sulphide "bottoms" leached, if desired, are roasted to give an impure nickel oxide which is reduced to impure nickel containing small amounts of iron, copper, cobalt, silver, gold and metals of the platinum group. The impure nickel is converted in volatilizers by carbon monoxide at 25-100 DEG C. into nickel carbonyl which is afterwards decomposed at 125-250 DEG C. in contact with metallic nickel to deposit nickel and set free carbon monoxide which is returned to an earlier stage. Cobalt may be recovered from the unconverted residues in the volatilizers by treatment with sulphuric acid. Specification 138,600, [Class 82 (i), Metals, Extracting &c.], is referred to.
The next-generation supercomputer project and a plan for the advanced institute for computational science

Computer simulation has become the critical third pillar for scientific discovery along with experiment and theory. We are running the next-generation supercomputer project to design, build and set up the supercomputer, the world's most advanced computer with a speed of LINPACK target of 10 peta flops. The next-generation supercomputer will be available in three years (by 2012). With the emergence of petascale computing platforms we are entering a new era of modeling. Establishment of the COE in the field of supercomputing is also being planned. We would like to create a new, independent, international COE of computer science and computational science in 2010, open to individuals from all over the world from different backgrounds. Petascale computing will enable us to simulate physical processes on a scale never seen before, and approach convergence for dynamical processes never thought possible. Petascale computing will open up a new frontiers. Its success will have lasting impact on science and technology and people all around the world and for generations into the future. An overview of the project and the most recent progress will be discussed.
