Funbrush – smart device to change brushing teeth into fun and healthy game

The main objective of the overall innovation project is the realization and preparing to commercialization on the EU and US market of  FunBrush - a device for children to teach them how to brush their teeth and change this activity into a fun and healthy adventure.
Parents experience confirmed by our and specialist’s research shows that brushing teeth is an activity that many children find not useful and boring, but what is the most important – they do not understand the future consequences of not brushing or brushing with the wrong technique. According to specialists, because of this over 30% of kids aged 4-10 suffer from tooth decay in countries like UK, Germany, France, the USA or similar developed countries, even up to 70-80% in countries like Poland. Worldwide, 60–90% of school children and nearly 100% of adults suffer from dental cavities (WHO, 2014). Specialists recommends that the most important is to focus on the frequency and the duration of brushing, as this is the key aspect of children dental problems. We found solution to help them using modern technologies.
The solution for parents that are challenged to make children brush their teeth regularly is FunBrush. FunBrush provides a smart toy to change brushing into what children love the most - games.      
The expected outcome of overall innovation project should be completed and prepared to production FunBrush device and working platform coherent with customers needs and requirements of the successful strategy implementation.
The project will rely on a collaborative approach between partners (Funbrush Ltd, Fineus Przewrocki Sp.j.) which establish the consortium to prepare FunBrush device and platform.
The specific objectives of project is elaboration of feasibility study with a business plan related to the realization and preparing to commercialization of an already developed prototype of FunBrush.
Theoretical priors on modified growth parametrisations

Next generation surveys will observe the large-scale structure of the Universe with unprecedented accuracy. This will enable us to test the relationships between matter over-densities, the curvature perturbation and the Newtonian potential. Any large-distance modification of gravity or exotic nature of dark energy modifies these relationships as compared to those predicted in the standard smooth dark energy model based on General Relativity. In linear theory of structure growth such modifications are often parameterised by virtue of two functions of space and time that enter the relation of the curvature perturbation to, first, the matter over-density, and second, the Newtonian potential. We investigate the predictions for these functions in Brans-Dicke theory, clustering dark energy models and interacting dark energy models. We find that each theory has a distinct path in the parameter space of modified growth. Understanding these theoretical priors on the parameterisations of modified growth is essential to reveal the nature of cosmic acceleration with the help of upcoming observations of structure formations.
MunServNet: Improving Sustainability of Municipal Service Provision in the Field of Water and Waste Water Management

As budget constraints of most municipalities are increasing, municipal service providers in the water and waste sector face pressures to improve efficiency and decrease costs. Additional challenges arise from legal obligations, such as EC directives to meet water quality and environmental standards as well as from rising public expectations concerning quality of service. To meet these demands municipalities need to invest in infrastructure and upgrade the capacity and know-how of infrastructure providers. Overall objective / Objectif général The overall objective of “MUNSERVNET - Improving Sustainability of Municipal Service Provision in the Field of Water and Waste Water Management” is to exchange experience and identify good practices in water and waste management in the participating regions. More specifically the operation aims to help increase service quality, customer satisfaction and environmental standards in municipal service provision. The EU has co-financed activities in the water and waste sector through various aid instruments such as Pre-accession Aid, Cohesion funds and Structural Funds. MunServNet aims to make those interventions more cost-effective, target oriented and tailored to the needs of the specific region. Expected results / Résultats attendus The operation increases the capacity of partner cities with regard to municipal water and waste management and policies. It improves the efficiency and quality of service, fosters the introduction of innovative technologies, raises public awareness and enhances capacities in project development. Activities include SWOT analyses of the water and waste sector in each participating region, analysis of innovative approaches and techniques and the identification of good practices.

Palynostratigraphy and paleoenvironmental significance of the Cretaceous succession in the Gebel Rissu-1 well, north Western Desert, Egypt

Abstract Palynological investigation of the Cretaceous Abu Roash, Bahariya, Kharita, Alamein, Alam El Bueib and Betty formations, encountered in the Gebel Rissu-1 well, north Western Desert, Egypt yielded 27 species of pteridophytic spores, 24 of gymnosperm pollen, 25 of angiosperm pollen and 11 of dinoflagellate cysts in addition to some acritarchs, foraminiferal test linings and freshwater algae. This enabled us to recognize five miospore biozones arranged from youngest to oldest as: Classopollis brasiliensis – Afropollis cf. kahramanensis – Dichastopollenites ghazalataensis Assemblage Zone (Late Cenomanian); Elaterosporites klaszii – Sofrepites legouxae – Afropollis jardinus Assemblage Zone (Middle/Late Albian–Early Cenomanian); Pennipollis peroreticulatus – Duplexisporites generalis- Tricolpates Assemblage Zone (Early Aptian–Early Albian); Tucanopollis crisopolensis – Afropollis sp. Assemblage Zone (Barremian) and Appendicisporites cf. tricornitatus – Ephedripites spp. Assemblage Zone (Late Neocomian). The Early Cretaceous Kharita, Alam El Bueib and the Betty formations encountered in the Gebel Rissu-1 well are interpreted to indicate oxic proximal and distal shelf deposits, characterized by type III/IV, V kerogen, which is gas prone but having little potential to produce hydrocarbons. The Upper Cretaceous Abu Roash and Bahariya formations are characterized by a distal suboxic–anoxic and marginal dysoxic–anoxic environment, and their kerogen type III/II indicates gas/oil prone nature. The Bahariya and Kharita Albian–Cenomanian sediments in the present study witnessed the onset of a semi-arid to arid climate, with local or seasonal humid conditions, based on the continuous high abundance of the elaterates pollen and Afropollis -producing plants that inhabited the paleotropical humid coastal plains.

Integration mapping of refugee and migrant children in schools and other experiential environments in europe

The IMMERSE project “Integration Mapping of refugee and Migrant Children in Schools and Other Experiential Environments in Europe” emerges at a time where Europe and its socio-educational system are facing a lot of pressure because the migration flows and the current refugee crisis. In this situation, refugee and migration children are the most vulnerable group and Europe is committed to provide them support and to promote more inclusive European societies. In this sense, IMMERSE aims to enhance the socio-educative inclusion of all refugee and migrant children through the generation of new data and policy recommendations on the integration of refugee and migrant children. An innovative and ICT supported solution has been proposed to carry out research activities in order to create a dashboard of socio-educational indicators that will allow to collect information to be analyzed and become practical policy recommendations. 
IMMERSE aims to foster the empowerment of children and other relevant stakeholders that impact on their integration and successful transition to adulthood into host societies. IMMERSE follows a whole school approach and aims to implement co-creation methods to involve all the key actors in the achievement of the results.

Relatedness of proteolytic potency and virulence in entomopathogenic fungus Beauveria bassiana isolates

Entomopathogenic fungi produce a variety of degrading enzymes, including proteases, chitinases and lipases, to facilitate their entry through the massive barriers of insect cuticle. Isolates of the entomopathogenic fungi vary considerably in their proteolytic activity and virulence. The proteolytic activity of different isolates has been hypothesized to reflect their virulence toward the host. In this study, we evaluated the virulence and proteolytic activity of 17 Beauveria bassiana sensu lato isolates collected from different geographical regions in Iran. The selective medium D0C2 was used for isolating B. bassiana from soil samples. Casein substrate was used for protease assay. Total mortalities caused by different B. bassiana isolates through the dipping method, ranged from 25 to 60% with the highest and lowest rates for isolates BA and MITE, respectively. Our results revealed a wide variation in both proteolytic activity and virulence among the studied isolates. Additionally, we found a strong positive correlation between the proteolytic activity on Casein substrate and virulence of the isolates against the Khapra beetle, Trogoderma granarium. This finding will facilitate the screening and selection process of virulent fungal isolates as efficient agents for use in biological control programs of insect pests.
Homologous and Heterologous Covid-19 Booster Vaccinations

Although the three vaccines against coronavirus disease 2019 (Covid-19) that have received emergency use authorization in the United States are highly effective, breakthrough infections are occurring. Data are needed on the serial use of homologous boosters (same as the primary vaccine) and heterologous boosters (different from the primary vaccine) in fully vaccinated recipients.In this phase 1-2, open-label clinical trial conducted at 10 sites in the United States, adults who had completed a Covid-19 vaccine regimen at least 12 weeks earlier and had no reported history of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) infection received a booster injection with one of three vaccines: mRNA-1273 (Moderna) at a dose of 100 μg, Ad26.COV2.S (Johnson & Johnson-Janssen) at a dose of 5×1010 virus particles, or BNT162b2 (Pfizer-BioNTech) at a dose of 30 μg. The primary end points were safety, reactogenicity, and humoral immunogenicity on trial days 15 and 29.Of the 458 participants who were enrolled in the trial, 154 received mRNA-1273, 150 received Ad26.COV2.S, and 153 received BNT162b2 as booster vaccines; 1 participant did not receive the assigned vaccine. Reactogenicity was similar to that reported for the primary series. More than half the recipients reported having injection-site pain, malaise, headache, or myalgia. For all combinations, antibody neutralizing titers against a SARS-CoV-2 D614G pseudovirus increased by a factor of 4 to 73, and binding titers increased by a factor of 5 to 55. Homologous boosters increased neutralizing antibody titers by a factor of 4 to 20, whereas heterologous boosters increased titers by a factor of 6 to 73. Spike-specific T-cell responses increased in all but the homologous Ad26.COV2.S-boosted subgroup. CD8+ T-cell levels were more durable in the Ad26.COV2.S-primed recipients, and heterologous boosting with the Ad26.COV2.S vaccine substantially increased spike-specific CD8+ T cells in the mRNA vaccine recipients.Homologous and heterologous booster vaccines had an acceptable safety profile and were immunogenic in adults who had completed a primary Covid-19 vaccine regimen at least 12 weeks earlier.

ADDITIVE MANUFACTURING SYSTEM WITH GAS FLOW HEAD

An additive manufacturing system may include a build surface, one or more laser energy sources, and an optics assembly. Exposure of a layer of material on the build surface to laser energy from the optics assembly melts at least a portion of the layer of material. A gas flow head is coupled to the optics assembly and defines a partially enclosed volume between the optics assembly and the build surface. The gas flow head includes a gas inflow through which a supply gas flows into the gas flow head, a gas outflow through which a return gas flows out of the gas flow head, and an aperture arranged to permit transmission of the laser energy through the gas flow head to the build surface. The supply gas and return gas define a gas flow profile within the gas flow head.
MP17-05 POTENTIAL NOVEL TARGET FOR TREATMENT OF OVERACTIVE BLADDER: TRANSIENT RECEPTOR POTENTIAL MELASTATIN 4 CHANNEL IN HUMAN URINARY BLADDER

INTRODUCTION AND OBJECTIVES: Hyaluronic acid (HA), a non-sulfated glycosaminoglycan and an essential component of the extracellular matrix (ECM), plays critical roles in phases of wound healing and tissue regeneration. This study was designed to characterize temporal and anatomical HA deposition and its major receptors (CD44, LYVE-1, RHAMM, and HARE) expression in a rat bladder regeneration model and to understand the effectiveness of HA in promoting angiogenesis. METHODS: Fifteen Sprague-Dawley rats were subjected to partial cystectomy with interposition of distal sections of porcine small intestinal submucosa (SIS). SIS-augmented bladders were harvested on post-operative days 2, 7, 14, 28, and 56 for histological studies. Effectiveness of HA in stimulating endothelial cell proliferation, tube formation, and angiogenic activity were determined in vitro cell and ex ovo chick chorioallantoic membrane (CAM) models. RESULTS: Bladder regeneration proceeded without complications; and all regenerated bladders had complete urothelial lining and smooth muscle bundle formation by day 56 post-augmentation. As determined by immunohistochemistry, strong positive HA staining was observed on days 28 and 56 post-operation in the ECM of the stroma. CD44 immunoreactivity was detected on days 28 and 56 in the cytoplasm of urothelial cells and LYVE-1 immunoreactivity was detected exclusively in lymphatic vessels at days 28 and 56. RHAMM mRNA increased within 2 days post-operation, whereas HARE mRNA level did not change during the course of bladder regeneration. Exogenous HA significantly stimulated growth and tube formation of cultured endothelial cells, and enhanced angiogenesis in CAM assay. CONCLUSIONS: During bladder regeneration HA is synthesized throughout the course of regeneration processes. HA deposition coincides with urothelial differentiation. Temporal regulation and spatial distribution of two major HARs (CD44 and LYVE-1) follow the same temporal pattern as HA deposition. Therapeutic modalities through local delivery of exogenous HA can be viable to significantly improve angiogenesis and enhance the outcome and completeness of bladder regeneration.

Training in reducing uncertainty in structural safety

The growth of cities, impacts of climate change and the massive cost of providing new infrastructure provide the impetus for this proposal – entitled Training in Reducing Uncertainty in Structural Safety (TRUSS) – which will maximize the potential of infrastructure that already exists. If flaws in a structure can be identified early, the cost of repair will be vastly reduced, and here an effective monitoring system would allow identifying the optimum time to repair as well as improving structural safety. But safety is difficult to quantify and requires a deep understanding of the uncertainty associated to measurements and models for the structure and the loads. TRUSS will gather this understanding by bringing together an intersectoral and multidisciplinary collaboration between 4 Universities, 11 Industry participants and 1 research institute from 6 European countries. The consortium will combine and share expertise to offer training at an advanced level as new concepts for monitoring, modelling and reliability analysis of structures are emerging all the time. TRUSS will make knowledge of structural safety grow by incorporating these emerging technologies (hi-tech monitoring and manufacturing, computing, etc.) into the training programme and it will support job creation by enabling a wider talent pool of skilled and accredited engineering graduates with business, entrepreneurship, communication, project management and other transferrable skills. The training programme will be structured into taught modules combined with original research supported by secondments that will expose 14 fellows to both academia and industry. While developing tools that will reduce uncertainty in structural safety and improve infrastructure management, TRUSS will lay the basis for an advanced doctoral programme that will qualify graduates for dealing with the challenges of an aging European infrastructure stock, thereby enhancing their career prospects in both industry and academia.
