Tiles: the first platform for shared entertainment

The business model innovation described in this proposal addresses the new digital advertising sector within the larger creative industries. Advertising is essential to the success of the European digital market. Indeed, the wider digital ecosystem is fundamentally based on advertising, from media and content creators to search and email providers as well as social networks and apps. 
Europe’s digital advertising market represents a young sector, which continues to out-perform the overall economy, with a growth rate in 2014 of 11.6% compared to a mere 0.4% increase in EU GDP. In 2014, digital advertising powered the European internet economy to the tune of € 30.7 billion.   
New generations of consumers are using Internet, mobiles, digital media, etc., in ways that not only expand their range of creative experiences but also transform them from passive recipients of creative messages into active co-creators of creative content. 
Thus, the business model proposed aims at exploiting the business opportunities deriving from tcreative industry market trends and drivers.
Mosaicoon proposes an inside out approach with the aim to create an ecosystem in which creatives and video makers as well as final users themselves should be an active part of the communication process of the Advertisers, allowing them to manage efficiently all the entire process of creation, distribution and monitoring of an online video campaign through one single dashboard.
The Company’s goal is the creation and market launch of a completely automatized system called Tiles by the end of 2017. The company’s value proposition aims at bringing Brands to produce content, distribute it and monitor the results for observing real users’ engagement. The platform allows campaign budget optimization and the assessment of actual returns on communication investments. Moreover, Tiles will contribute to co-create value not only for Advertisers but also for creatives, video makers and publishers.
A water column study of methane around gas flares located at the West Spitsbergen continental margin

In the Arctic Seas, the West Spitsbergen continental margin represents a prominent methane seep area. In this area, free gas formation and gas ebullition as a consequence of hydrate dissociation due to global warming are currently under debate. Recent studies revealed shallow gas accumulation and ebullition of methane into the water column at more than 250 sites in an area of 665 km2. We conducted a detailed study of a subregion of this area, which covers an active gas ebullition area of 175 km2 characterized by 10 gas flares reaching from the seafloor at~245 m up to 50 m water depth to identify the fate of the released gas due to dissolution of methane from gas bubbles and subsequent mixing, transport and microbial oxidation.

The oceanographic data indicated a salinity-controlled pycnocline situated ~20 m above the seafloor. A high resolution sampling program at the pycnocline at the active gas ebullition flare area revealed that the methane concentration gradient is strongly controlled by the pycnocline. While high methane concentrations of up to 524 nmol L−1 were measured below the pycnocline, low methane concentrations of less than 20 nmol L−1 were observed in the water column above. Variations in the δ13CCH4 values point to a 13C depleted methane source (~−60‰ VPDB) being mainly mixed with a background values of the ambient water (~−37.5‰ VPDB). A gas bubble dissolution model indicates that ~80% of the methane released from gas bubbles into the ambient water takes place below the pycnocline. This dissolved methane will be laterally transported with the current northwards and most likely microbially oxidized in between 50 and 100 days, since microbial CH4 oxidation rates of 0.78 nmol d−1 were measured. Above the pycnocline, methane concentrations decrease to local background concentration of ~10 nmol L−1.

Our results suggest that the methane dissolved from gas bubbles is efficiently trapped below the pycnocline and thus limits the methane concentration in surface water and the air–sea exchange during summer stratification. During winter the lateral stratification breaks down and fractions of the bottom water enriched in methane may be vertically mixed and thus be potentially an additional source for atmospheric methane.

The Processing of Events

Synthesizing ideas from event semantics and psycholinguistics, this monograph provides a new perspective on the processing of linguistic aspect and aspectual coercion. Confronting alternative semantic accounts with experimental evidence, the author develops a comprehensive model of online aspectual interpretation. The first part of the book critically reviews competing theoretical accounts of aspectual coercion. As an analytical tool the author introduces a computational model based on the event calculus by Hamm &amp;#38; van Lambalgen (2005) which makes use of planning formalisms from artificial intelligence. Detailed predictions from this framework are then tested in the experimental work reported in the second part. The focus here is on such questions as: Is aspectual coercion a uniform phenomenon or must we distinguish different types? Is aspect processed incrementally or is it computed only at the clause boundary? And finally, what insights can event related potentials yield about how the brain resolves local aspectual mismatch?

USO DO PLASMA ATMOSFÉRICO A FRIO NO TRATAMENTO DO CARCINOMA DE CÉLULAS ESCAMOSAS FELINO EM ESTÁGIO AVANÇADO

INTRODUÇÃO: O plasma atmosférico frio (CAP) vem emergindo como tratamento promissor para o tratamento de lesões cutâneas, possuindo capacidade antimicrobiana e antinflamatória. Recentemente vem sendo utilizado no tratamento de neoplasias, promovendo a morte seletiva de células cancerígenas por meio da produção de espécies reativas de oxigênio e nitrogênio (ERON). Dentre os cânceres de pele não melanoma, o carcinoma de células escamosas (CCE) é o segundo mais prevalente, especialmente no nordeste do Brasil, onde há alta incidência solar. Os gatos são excelentes modelos para estudos de CCE, pois também frequentemente desenvolvem esse tipo de neoplasia, que possui comportamento semelhante. OBJETIVO: Dessa forma, objetivou-se avaliar o efeito do CAP sobre lesões de CCE em gato atendido no Hospital Veterinário Jerônimo Dix-Huit Rosado Maia – HOVET/UFERSA. MÉTODOS: Um felino, macho, adulto, com quatro lesões faciais (plano nasal, ponta da orelha, lábio inferior e canto medial do olho) foi submetido a dois ciclos de tratamento com CAP. Cada ciclo consistiu na administração do plasma por três vezes dentro de uma semana, seguido por uma semana sem exposição. O paciente foi acompanhado para avaliação da resposta ao tratamento e efeitos adversos. RESULTADOS: Com dois ciclos de tratamento foi possível observar resposta completa para as formações menores (canto medial do olho e ponta da orelha). O tumor em plano nasal apresentou resposta parcial e o CCE labial permaneceu estável. Os efeitos adversos foram leves, autolimitantes e incluíram eritema e formação de crostas. CONCLUSÃO: O CAP demonstrou-se eficaz para o tratamento do CCE cutâneo felino, principalmente em lesões superficiais. Para formações mais proliferativas, como em lábio inferior, podem ser necessárias estratégias multimodais de tratamento, a fim de permitir uma maior penetrabilidade das ERON.
Design of Network Based Software

With the increase of Internet bandwidth the World Wide Web is changing the approach for software development. Traditionally, most of the software was developed for one particular platform such as DOS, Windows, Mac, Unix or Linux and it was not portable from one system to another. Usually the user interface is system dependent and it has to be developed individually for every system. It is, however, possible to standardize web browsers to use interface and such interface can be moved easily from one platform to another. At the same time the software can run on the same computer or run remotely on a network computer. Interestingly, such software is very portable and can be easily recompiled on various systems. Several examples of such network based software were developed in order to test the concept such as: SIP - Spice Internet Package which let users to run the unlimited version of SPICE program over internet, ICP - Internet Compilers Package where many compilers were implemented for various computer languages such as C, C++, Fortran, Pascal and JAVA; and Neural network simulation tool running over the network are demonstrated.

Innovative stormwater asset management in future cities

Mind4Stormwater aims to help cities achieve sustainable management of their “stormwater control measures” (SCMs). These nature-based solutions (e.g. wetlands, swales, infiltration trenches, bioretention systems) have emerged worldwide in the last few decades, meaning that their long-term management is far from assured. Operational and research questions have so far largely focused on optimising hydrologic, hydraulic and water quality performance. However, there is a growing concern regarding sustainable long-term management, and its impact on performance and cost. Such concern will likely limit application and development of SCMs. On the other hand, SCM operation and maintenance could create new business opportunities related to sensors, monitoring and asset management. According to the UN, investing US$188 billion to manage stormwater and preserve water quality in the US could generate US$265 billion in economic activity and create nearly 1.9 million jobs. The situation is likely very similar with the 600,000 direct jobs in the EU water services sector. Mind4Stormwater will adapt existing low-cost technology sensors to the specific context of SCMs, and develop an innovative Expert System to guide the utility manager in selecting the best O&M actions for each SCM. The Expert System will be developed on an Australian case-study with an asset base of 500 SCMs. It will then be adapted for French cities and an adaptation draft for European cities will be developed. Mind4Stormwater tackles a major problem that is emerging worldwide. This novel research will establish the researcher and both organisations as leaders in the emerging research topic of integrated monitoring and asset management of stormwater control measures. It will reinforce their international recognition and increase opportunities to host excellent researchers. A series of outreach activities will also deliver public education and awareness of the major importance of integrated urban water management.
Comparative Analysis of Mafriwal (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) and Kedah Kelantan (Bos indicus) Sperm Proteome Identifies Sperm Proteins Potentially Responsible for Higher Fertility in a Tropical Climate

The fertility of zebu cattle (Bos indicus) is higher than that of the European purebred (Bos taurus) and crossbred (Bos taurus × Bos indicus) cattle in tropical areas. To identify proteins related to the higher thermo-tolerance and fertility of Zebu cattle, this study was undertaken to identify differences in sperm proteome between the high fertile Malaysian indigenous zebu cattle (Kedah Kelantan) and the sub-fertile crossbred cattle (Mafriwal). Frozen semen from three high performance bulls from each breed were processed to obtain live and pure sperm. Sperm proteins were then extracted, and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis performed to compare proteome profiles. Gel image analysis identified protein spots of interest which were then identified by liquid chromatography mass spectrometry quadrupole time-of-flight (LC MS/MS Q-TOF). STRING network analysis predicted interactions between at least 20 of the identified proteins. Among the identified proteins, a number of motility and energy related proteins were present in greater abundance in Kedah Kelantan. Sperm motility evaluation by Computer Assisted Semen Analysis (CASA) confirmed significantly higher motility in Kedah Kelantan. While results from this study do identify proteins that may be responsible for the higher fertility of Kedah Kelantan, functional characterization of these proteins is warranted to reinforce our understanding of their roles in sperm fertility.

Ferromagnetic phase transition in topological crystalline insulator thin films: Interplay of anomalous Hall angle and magnetic anisotropy

In magnetic topological phases of matter, the quantum anomalous Hall (QAH) effect is an emergent phenomenon driven by ferromagnetic doping, magnetic proximity effects and strain engineering. The realization of QAH states with multiple dissipationless edge and surface conduction channels defined by a Chern number $\mathcal{C}\geq1$ was foreseen for the ferromagnetically ordered SnTe class of topological crystalline insulators (TCIs). From magnetotransport measurements on Sn$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$Te ($0.00\leq{x}\leq{0.08}$)(111) epitaxial thin films grown by molecular beam epitaxy on BaF$_{2}$ substrates, hole mediated ferromagnetism is observed in samples with $x\geq0.06$ and the highest $T_\mathrm{c}\sim7.5\,\mathrm{K}$ is inferred from an anomalous Hall behavior in Sn$_{0.92}$Mn$_{0.08}$Te. The sizable anomalous Hall angle $\sim$0.3 obtained for Sn$_{0.92}$Mn$_{0.08}$Te is one of the greatest reported for magnetic topological materials. The ferromagnetic ordering with perpendicular magnetic anisotropy, complemented by the inception of anomalous Hall effect in the Sn$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$Te layers for a thickness commensurate with the decay length of the top and bottom surface states, points at Sn$_{1-x}$Mn$_{x}$Te as a preferential platform for the realization of QAH states in ferromagnetic TCIs.

Study on Packing Phase Control Based on the Cavity Pressure-Temperature during Injection Molding

Abstract Packing phase control during injection molding process plays a crucial role in ensuring the product quality. As one of the hot topics in the field of polymer precise injection molding, quality control of injection molded parts has always been of concern. In this present study, a part weight control method based on the cavity pressure-temperature during the packing phase was proposed. Experimental results illustrated that the proposed method, which used cavity pressure and Pressure-Temperature (P-T) control as filling-to-packing switchover mode and packing method respectively, was an effective approach for the part weight control. Typical crystalline material (polypropylene) and amorphous material (ABS) were chosen to further verify the feasibility of the control method, and experiments had shown to yield consistent conclusions. The experimental results and conclusions presented in this paper will be useful for proper setting of injection molding process.
Myelinic nanochannels in neurodegenerative diseases

Myelin is made by highly specialized glial cells and enables fast axonal impulse propagation. We have
discovered that oligodendrocytes in the CNS are, in addition to myelination, required for the integrity and
survival of axons, independent of the presence or absence of myelin itself. More recently, we found the
underlying mechanism and could show that glycolytic oligodendrocytes provide axons with pyruvate/lactate.
These metabolites are transported through a system of myelinic nanochannels to the axonal compartment, in
which mitochondria generate ATP. The finding was a paradigm-shift for the physiological function of axonassociated
glia, and opens now the intriguing possibility that oligodendrocytes are important modifiers of
neurological diseases in which myelinated axons are lost. This includes, in addition to multiple sclerosis, also
classical neuropsychiatric disorders. We will generate novel genetic tools in mice that allow us to study the
role myelin and secondary axonal loss in higher brain functions. We will test the challenging hypothesis that
reducing oligodendroglial support of axonal metabolism is a risk for differen neurodegenerative disorders.
These involve the previously neglected ultrastructure of CNS myelin with cytosolic (20-300 nanometer
wide) channels within the myelin sheath. These 'nanochannels' couple the oligodendrocyte soma
metabolically to the adaxonal space, but are vulnerable to aging and physical injury. We hypothesize that
cellular mechanisms as diverse as neuroinflammation and the aggregation of misfolded proteins in myelinic
nanochannels cause perturbations of the axonal energy metabolism. When combined, the findings of
MyeliNANO will shed new light on previously unknown functions of CNS myelin and will pave the way for
metabolic neuroprotection as a therapeutic approach to a range of neurodegenerative diseases.
