Scalable european powertrain technology platform for cost-efficient electric vehicles to connect europe

The need for common, scalable and brand-independent technology platforms for the key elements of EV, like the inverter-motor-transmission/gearbox (powertrain) and the battery, is evident. The project 1000kmPLUS will ensure the superiority of European automotive key technologies in terms of performance, scalability and costs for the 2nd and 3rd generation of EV. The EV powertrain and battery technologies must now start to mature, in order to fulfil existential human mobility needs in terms of affordability and usability: this is the key to enter the early mass market. It assumes ramp-up of series production and affordability by economies of scale. 1000kmPLUS will provide key arguments regarding the usability of the 2nd generation of EV to the Early Majority customers. Further, it will speed up the development and the ramp-up of series production of the 3rd EV generation. To obtain breakthroughs in terms of energy efficiency, driving range, charging and costs, the 1000kmPLUS project develops a Scalable European Powertrain Technology Platform (SEPtop
Filmer pour diviser: Madrid dans le cinéma issu du 15-M

Cet article s'intéresse au portrait de la ville de Madrid brossé par les œuvres cinématographiques et audiovisuelles issues du mouvement du 15-M. Il analyse tout d'abord les œuvres des collectifs artistiques qui ont émergé en réponse aux premières manifestations des indignés, puis, dans un deuxième temps, il s'intéresse aux œuvres de cinéastes établis ayant abordé ce thème. Enfin, il explore l'évolution esthétique et thématique des œuvres suivantes de ces créateurs. Notre hypothèse centrale est que ces films tentent d'interpréter l'histoire récente –en particulier la Transition– et la ville de Madrid non pas comme un espace neutre ou pacifique, mais comme un espace de conflit et de lutte. Les cinéastes dont nous analysons les œuvres ont tenté de s'opposer à l'interprétation habituelle de l'histoire et de la ville.
Solution synthesis of one-dimensional ZnO nanomaterials and their applications

Recently, one-dimensional (1D) ZnO nanomaterials (NMs) have been extensively studied because both their functional properties and highly controllable morphology make them important building blocks for understanding nanoscale phenomena and realizing nanoscale devices. Compared with high temperature (>450 degrees C) vapor phase methods, solution-based synthesis methods can be conducted at low temperatures (25-200 degrees C) allowing for compatibility with many organic substrate materials and offer additional advantages such as straightforward processing, low cost, and ease of scale up. Although there exist several review articles in the literature regarding the synthesis and applications of 1D ZnO NMs, those focusing on solution-based synthesis methods are lacking. Thus, this review focuses mainly on 1D ZnO NMs synthesized by solution-based processing. Firstly, 1D ZnO non-patterned, nanoparticle-seeded synthesis and its associated solution growth kinetics are discussed. Next, synthesis of vertically-aligned ZnO nanorod arrays with controlled pattern and density on various substrates is reviewed. Finally, important applications of 1D ZnO NMs are highlighted including sensors, field emission devices, photodetectors, optical switches, and solar cells.
India and the indian ocean in the early decolonial period: archipelagic imaginaries, 1950s-1970s

The project IATIO mobilises the concept of ‘archipelagic imaginaries’ to examine Indian intellectual and literary cosmopolitanism in the Indian Ocean during the 1950s-1970s. The research shifts focus from teleological readings of Indian Ocean history and territorial perspective on postcolonial Indian culture, to a renewed investment in archipelagic theory and geocritical approaches. The temporal framework of the project ranges from around the time of the post-World War II decolonisation to the late 1970s, a period of far-reaching political, cultural and economic change for the entire Indian Ocean region. The project aims to advance a non-territorial epistemological framework for theorising postcolonial India through an investigation of the conceptual, imaginative and material Indian Ocean geographies inhabited by Indian intellectuals, writers and other cosmopolitan voices. It will do so by employing an interdisciplinary methodology that combines tools and insights from history, literary criticism and cultural studies, to engage in close reading of intellectual journals and the popular press, works of fiction, and selected case studies of material Indian Ocean sites of cosmopolitan encounters. The fellowship will be based at two leading academic institutions, King’s College London (UK) and the University of the Witwatersrand (ZA), and will take the researcher to further Asian and African countries for archival research. It will enhance the profile and the innovative potential of the researcher, strengthening his competence in interdisciplinary methods in the humanities and social sciences through personalised training, and providing the opportunity to develop a solid and internationally competitive track record. The project will also create a substantial institutional link between KCL and Wits, with KCL emerging as a UK hub in the global academic Indian Ocean studies network.

DOUBLE-MEMBRANE CENTRAL-FLOW PUMP

The invention relates to a double-membrane central-flow pump controlled by an upper air distribution module with a low-friction pivoting directional valve including a hinged flap for distributing the actuation fluid. The fluid flow outlet and inlet holes in the wet chambers are at different levels inside the projectable section of the chamber. The four ball check valves or similar are disposed in a special arrangement, formed by two suction valves and two delivery valves which are disposed in the wet centre of the pump and which can be accessed from the upper part thereof. The two suction valves are located close to the pump inlet above the shaft, the outlet hole thereof being connected directly to the chamber of the membrane. The two delivery valves are located close to the pump outlet below the shaft and are also connected directly to the chamber of the membrane. The arrangement of the check valves, which can be accessed from the same upper side, allows the valves to be removed from above for maintenance once the air distribution module and the ball covers have been removed, without disconnecting the pump from the fluid line. Moreover, the arrangement of the side covers allows the non-secured membranes to be removed from the sides for maintenance, once the air distribution module and the side covers have been removed, without disconnecting the pump from the fluid line.
Sistematización del programa de seguridad basado en el comportamiento dentro del proceso de reducción de accidentes en sociedad minera El Brocal S.A.A.

Mining is considered a high risk activity, so much so that according to statistics from the Ministry of Energy and Mines, 2012 50 fatal accidents and 47 fatalities 2013 were recorded Minera El Brocal SAA during 2012, 02 fatalities and 14 disabling accidents occurred. Of all these accidents, 15 (94%) occurred from unsafe / dangerous behavior acts. As the protection of life and occupational health a priority over any activity according to the policy of Safety, Health and Environment Minera El Brocal SAA, the same that made the decision to Implement Program Based Safety behavior in order to reduce or eliminate accidents its operations. So I pose the question: To what extent the implementation of Behavior Based Safety influenced the reduction of accidents Minera El Brocal SAA?.

The performance heuristic: A misguided reliance on past success when predicting prospects for improvement.

In estimating whether they are likely to improve on a performance task, people lean on a performance heuristic. That is, people rely on their previous performance success as a positive cue when estimating their prospects for performance improvement. Participants whose initial performance was better--either at a darts game (Study 1) or an anagram task (Study 2)-bet more money (Study 1) or estimated a higher subjective likelihood (Study 2) that their subsequent performance would show a specified amount of improvement. Reliance on the heuristic was unwise, for initial performance did not positively predict (and, in fact, negatively predicted) performance improvement. Study 2 suggests that the performance heuristic emerges because forecasters engage in attribute substitution, naturally focusing on their demonstrated performance instead of whether they have already maxed out their potential for improvement on the task. Self-assessments of their initial performance mediated the performance heuristic, but focusing participants on how much performance potential lay before them disrupted it (Study 2). Study 3 showed that the performance heuristic is a general-purpose heuristic that is used not merely to predict one's own prospects for improvement, but the prospects for other improvement (e.g., mutual funds' rate of return) as well.
Application of associate rules mining on CGF's behavior modeling

In this paper, Computer Generated Forces (CGF) behavior modeling was studied from the viewpoint of associate data mining, for the large quantity of data, rules and models in its process. Because CGF behavior models data source was the combination of staticDB and dynamic data stream, the paper advanced the methods of item truncation and aim-pattern restriction. Through pretreatment, coding, searching frequent pattern, generating associate rules of the CGF behavior modeling data, then decision could be made according as these rules. Application of the two methods improves on the classical aprior algorithm, also improves efficiency of searching frequent items and credibility of CGF's decision. Finally, the application of associate rules mining in air-combat is studied in detail. As the simulation shows, comparing with the traditional matching-rule decision, associate rule mining has higher efficiency on condition with guaranteeing reliability of decision.

Flexible and effective solution for people with motor disabilities

In Decon, we develop and produce quality accessories for wheelchairs. We do it in a neat and innovative way that allows adaptability and accessibility. Simply put, one can say that our passion is to create the conditions for freedom for people with disabilities.

Today, 10 to 15% of the world’s population lives with disabilities . For many of them, the wheelchair is one of the most useful assistive devices for enhancing personal mobility. Recent studies indicate that about 1% of world population, i.e. circa 75 million people, suffer from motor disabilities requiring the use of a wheelchair.

This project is about our novel, flexible and effective solution – E-Axle. E-Axle is an electrical add-on drive system for manual wheelchairs that will give the user assisting power when using the wheelchair. Our solution is encapsulated in a mobile, motorised rear axle powering a custom-designed wheel hub, which comes in a set with additional units attachable to the user’s wheelchair. E-Axle is a highly flexible solution apt for installation to virtually any manual wheelchair available on the market. The system can be quickly and easily mounted underneath the seat of a wheelchair. Thanks to the telescope architecture, it fits chairs of any width, including both rigid and folding chairs. It is removable with a simple handgrip, allowing it to be transported separately from the wheelchair or used interchangeably with other wheelchairs. Moreover, the axle is fully programmable, further increasing product’s flexibility and creating the opportunity to fit the personal needs of specific end-users.

Through this Phase 1 project, we want to further develop and optimise our business plan that will guide further commercialisation efforts to take Decon Wheel AB to a new level of competitiveness and growth. Most importantly, however, it will have an incredibly positive impact on the quality of life of millions of disabled people worldwide.
Fuzzy Inference System Optimized by Genetic Algorithm for Robust Face and Pose Detection

A human face detection method for color images is presented in this paper, which is pose, size and position independent, and has the priority of classifying detected faces in three groups: frontal, near frontal and profile, according to their pose. This system is a fuzzy rule base one, optimized by genetic algorithm. In the first stage, skin color regions are selected in the input image. Within each skin area, lip pixels and ear texture are searched, and applied as features to identify face candidates in the skin regions. Summarizing all obtained information along by skin region shape and lip area position relative to skin area, four inputs are computed for fuzzy inference system, and face areas as well as their poses would be introduced. The proposed method is tried on various databases, including HHI, Champion, Caltech, Bao and IMM databases. Achieved results show a remarkable detection rates compared to other methods, for various face poses. 96.8%, 95.3% and 87.8% correct detection rates are achieved, respectively for frontal, near frontal and profile face images over 1298 face image samples.
Predictions and observations for discs: planetary cores and dust aggregates from non-ideal mhd simulations with radiative transfer.

One of the most fascinating and challenging question of Modern Astrophysics is: How do planets form? Indeed, micronic dust grains must grow over 30 orders of magnitude in mass to build planet cores. Global numerical simulations of dust grains that couple the dynamics of the particles to their growth/fragmentation and the radiation in the disc are compulsory to understand this process. Yet, this coupling has never been realised, given tremendous difficulties that originate from fundamental physical properties of dusty flows. The evolution of the dust distribution in protoplanetary discs remains therefore very poorly understood. Our novel groundbreaking code is the first to handle non-ideal MHD, radiation and dust with dynamical growth and fragmentation. We can therefore overcome all past difficulties to model gasgrains mixtures in discs consistently. PODCAST is designed to study the different stages of gas and dust evolution in the various regions of the disc, with the main objective of combining these steps in a holistic model for planet formation. We will confront the results directly with observations, unleashing the full potential of the grand instruments ALMA, SPHERE, JWST and SKA.
Getting under the skin of p63.

Mutations in the transcription factor gene p63 are causative for human developmental syndromes characterized by three main hallmarks: ectodermal dysplasia, limb malformations and orofacial clefting. Five different dominantly inherited human syndromes and two non-syndromic conditions have been linked to p63 gene defects. Ectrodactyly, ectodermal dysplasia and cleft lip/palate syndrome (EEC) is the most common p63-associated condition, since approximately 60 percent of all p63 mutations have been identified in EEC syndrome patients. Other p63-linked syndromes: AEC, LMS, ADULT and RHS, all show overlapping features of the three main disease characteristics. In contrast, isolated split hand/foot malformation (SHFM4) and non-syndromic cleft lip/palate (NSCL) only show one of the three main hallmarks. In this study I have tried to get more insight into the p63-associated diseases, their molecular disease mechanism and the role of p63 and its downstream signaling in these diseases.
IMPROVED EFFICIENT ROUTING STRATEGY ON SCALE-FREE NETWORKS

Since the betweenness of nodes in complex networks can theoretically represent the traffic load of nodes under the currently used routing strategy, we propose an improved efficient (IE) routing strategy to enhance to the network traffic capacity based on the betweenness centrality. Any node with the highest betweenness is susceptible to traffic congestion. An efficient way to improve the network traffic capacity is to redistribute the heavy traffic load from these central nodes to non-central nodes, so in this paper, we firstly give a path cost function by considering the sum of node betweenness with a tunable parameter β along the actual path. Then, by minimizing the path cost, our IE routing strategy achieved obvious improvement on the network transport efficiency. Simulations on scale-free Barabási–Albert (BA) networks confirmed the effectiveness of our strategy, when compared with the efficient routing (ER) and the shortest path (SP) routing.
