Chemical Composition of the Essential Oil fromCirsium setidens, a Korean Medicinal Plant

AbstractThe objective of the present study was to investigate the chemical composition of the essential oil from Cirsium setidens. C. setidens (koryoungungqwui in Korea) is a perennial plant belonging to the Compositae family, and it is an endemic species of Korea. The essential oil obtained by hydro distillation Clevenger method from the aerial part of C. setidens was analyzed by GC and GC-MS. Ninety-two volatile flavor components, constituting 94.0 % of the total volatile composition of the essential oil, were identified in the essential oil of C. setidens. The oil was composed mainly of alcohols, ketones, esters, terpenes, carboxylic acid and hydrocarbons. Phytol (38.67 %) was the most abundant compound, followed by 6,10,14-trimethyl-2-pentadecanone (16.74 %), hexadecanoic acid (8.37 %), 1,2,15,16-diepoxyhexadecane (2.30 %), and β-caryophyllene alcohol (2.28 %).
Photonic electrodes for enhanced light management in optoelectronic devices

Nanostructured dielectric and metallic photonic architectures can concentrate the electric field through resonances, increase the light optical path by strong diffraction and exhibit many other interesting optical phenomena that cannot be achieved with traditional lenses and mirrors. The use of these structures within actual devices will be most beneficial for enhanced light absorption in thin solar cells, photodetectors and to develop new sensors and light emitters. However, emerging optoelectronic devices rely on large area and low cost fabrication routes such as roll to roll or solution processing, to cut manufacturing costs and increase the production throughput. If the exciting properties exhibited by the photonic structures are to be implemented in these devices, then they too have to be processed in a similar fashion as the devices they intend to improve. This research plan is aimed to develop photonic electrodes that will enhance light matter interaction based on wave optics phenomena while being fabricated with techniques fully compatible with today’s mass production approaches, allowing seamless integration of wave optics components in current devices. The objectives of this proposal are: 1) to investigate the fundaments of the enhanced light-matter interaction observed in devices that use wave optics elements. 2) To develop fabrication routes for large area and low cost photonic and plasmonic structures using techniques similar to those employed in industry, so they could be easily incorporated in technologies such as roll to roll. 3) To fabricate prototype solar cells, photodetectors and sensors on top of photonic electrodes, demonstrating improved performance without deterioration of other figures of merit in the device. The results of the research plan will advance the state of the art in nanophotonics structures, providing the path towards a new generation of large-scale and low-cost photonic architectures.
Development of Traffic Centralized Control System Based on Protocol Redirection for DB Protection

The technologies of domestic user programs are not enough to convert address convert information, which was collected via port redirection server, to user traffic. Generally traffic redirection technology is a special purpose technology for I/O traffic via network device. L4 switch needs various additional costs and devices to achieve this special purpose. To solve this problem, there appears need for a central management of control and monitoring by centralizing traffic at one position regardless of network structure and it is necessary to realize redirection function of switch at network layer. Therefore this study offer development of traffic central control system through protocol redirection of client-side.
A G<sub>4</sub>·K<sup>+</sup> Hydrogel Stabilized by an Anion

Supramolecular hydrogels derived from natural products have promising applications in diagnostics, drug delivery, and tissue engineering. We studied the formation of a long-lived hydrogel made by mixing guanosine (G, 1) with 0.5 equiv of KB(OH)4. This ratio of borate anion to ligand is crucial for gelation as it links two molecules of 1, which facilitates cation-templated assembly of G4·K(+) quartets. The guanosine-borate (GB) hydrogel, which was characterized by cryogenic transmission electron microscopy and circular dichroism and (11)B magic-angle-spinning NMR spectroscopy, is stable in water that contains physiologically relevant concentrations of K(+). Furthermore, non-covalent interactions, such as electrostatics, π-stacking, and hydrogen bonding, enable the incorporation of a cationic dye and nucleosides into the GB hydrogel.
Dissection of the mechanisms causing the epistasis between antibiotic resistance mutations in escherichia coli

Antibiotic resistance is a major threat to public health. Bacteria can become resistant by acquiring genes that counteract the action of antibiotics or by mutation of their targets. These targets are usually involved in essential processes and typically resistance mutations can impair bacterial growth in absence of antibiotics. However, combination of certain mutated alleles can result in an alleviation of this cost, thus favouring the acquisition of multiple resistances. This project aims to understand the mechanisms underlying the epistasis between resistance mutations. Decreased biosynthesis has been considered the main cause of the fitness cost associated to antibiotic resistance mutations. However, our preliminary results suggest the existence of additional causes, such as genomic instability or proteostasis imbalance. The study of these phenotypes in single and double resistant mutants of Escherichia coli will allow us to determine the nature of these epistatic interactions, as well as further understanding essential biological processes, and will provide information for the development of new treatments against multi-resistant infections.

Unravelling the role of scleral events on a novel treatment for myopia using microscopy techniques

Myopia prevalence has increased dramatically in the last few decades. It has reached 30% among young population in Europe and U.S.A. and over 80% in Asia. However, refractive correction remains the only option for treatment. Myopia has been linked to the shifting balance between far- and near-vision activities and the resulting abnormal axial growth of the eye,
but many key questions remain unanswered, which are critical for exploring new treatments.

The goal of my research is to advance our understanding of myopic eyes and help to develop new treatments for myopia. As an important step, I propose to develop new innovative optical instruments with which we can characterize myopic eyes in unprecedented details to gain novel insights, and also to assess treatment effects objectively and comprehensively beyond conventional vision tests.

Specifically, I aim to accomplish the following: (a) substantial advances in the understanding of physical changes underlying myopia, (b) quantitative assessment of optical, structural, and mechanical properties of the eye during myopia development, and (c) anatomical- and structural-level assessment of novel interventions to stop myopia progression.

The applicant will lead this proposed project, termed MYOMICRO, as a collaborative project between the EU beneficiary (VioBio Lab, CSIC, Spain), and the partner organization (Wellman Center for Photomedicine, Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, USA). A short research stay (Visual Sciences group, University of Newcastle,
Australia) in a secondary partner organization is included. The outcome of this project will enhance the EU leading position in vision care.
Application of solar thermal energy to processes

Application of Solar Thermal Energy to Processes (ASTEP) will create a new innovative Solar Heating for Industrial Processes (SHIP) concept focused on overcoming the current limitations of these systems. This solution is based on modular and flexible integration of two innovative designs for the solar collector (SunDial) and the Thermal Energy Storage (TES, based on Phase Change Materials, PCM) integrated via a control system which will allow flexible operation to maintain continuous service against the unpredictable nature of the solar source and partially during night operation. ASTEP will demonstrate its capability to cover a substantial part of the heat demand of the process industry at temperatures above 150 ºC and for latitudes where current designs are not able to supply it. Its modularity and compactness will also enable easy installation and repair with reduced space requirements, while most of components can be sourced locally. The ASTEP`s process integration will allow full compatibility with the existing systems of potential end-users of SHIP. These aspects will provide a very competitive solution to substitute fossil fuel consumption. The developed solar concept will be tested at two industrial sites to prove the objective’s target of TRL5. Life Cycle Analysis will be included to validate and demonstrate the efficiency of the proposed technologies. The first Industrial Site of the proposal is the world’s leading steel company, ArcelorMittal, with a heating demand above 220 ºC for a factory located at a latitude of 47.1 N (Iasi, Romania). The second site is the dairy company MANDREKAS, located at a latitude of 37.93 N (Corinth, Greece) with a heating demand for steam at 175 ºC and a cooling demand at 5 ºC. These test locations will validate the ASTEP solution for a substantial part of the potential requirements of industrial heating and cooling demand of the European Union (EU28), which is estimated at approximately 72 TWh per year
Exact results in quantum deformed holography

Integrable models --- of which the Kepler problem or the Heisenberg spin-chain are celebrated examples --- are the exactly solvable building blocks upon which the whole theoretical physics monument stands. While they describe a simplified version of nature, their tractable structure gives invaluable insight into complicated systems closer to the real world. Remarkably, they also lead to major advances in our understanding of quantum gravity and holography, an area in which the need for analytical tools is critical due to the lack of experiments. Integrable theories appear in instances of the AdS/CFT correspondence, a duality relating string theories on Anti-de-Sitter space-times to Conformal Field Theories living on the boundary of these space-times. The aim of this project is to explore extended versions of AdS/CFT holography through the study of integrable quantum deformations. The specific objectives are (O.1) to establish new connections between quantum deformations of superstrings, (O.2) to compute physical observables in these theories via adapted integrability techniques, (O.3) to explore the quantum properties of these deformations and (O.4) to constrain their dual theories. Constructing and studying new deformations of AdS/CFT has the potential to dramatically expand the scope of our understanding of string theory, quantum field theories at finite coupling and holography. Integrability is expected to provide a crucial guiding principle and invaluable tool in harnessing such a potential. Moreover, this project will connect mathematical and physical aspects of quantum group.
THE DEVELOPMENT EFFECTS OF THE MONETARY AND FISCAL POLICY IN CONTEMPORARY CONDITIONS

One of the biggest problems in economic theory has always been coordination of different elements of economic policy, especially monetary and fiscal policy. In the past, there have been a few theories emphasizing one of them, but in contemporary conditions it is a fact that the only right answer is in coordinated conducting of all of them. Therefore, every measure in monetary policy has to be followed by particular action in fiscal policy and the other way around. The question remains whether fiscal or monetary policy should have the priority in decision making and is there a pattern to follow when it comes to creating economic policy. Empirical data are the most purposeful source for answering these questions, and therefore we will use variables from four different countries from the last fifteen years and try to find the connection between monetary and fiscal policy and the standard of living.
Surface properties of M2 steel treated by pulse plasma technique

Abstract In this study, the surface properties of a M2 steel (high speed steel) was investigated in respect to mechanical and microstructural aspects. Three were three different sample-plasma gun nozzle distances (30, 40 and 50 mm) and two different pulse (20 and 50) were chosen for the surface modification at a constant battery capacity of 500 mf. After pulse plasma surface treatment, the modified surface layers were examined using an optical microscope and also with X-ray analysis. It was observed that surface treatment affects the formation of a new structure. The stoichiometry of these phases was FeN, Fe 2 N, γ-Fe, W 3 Olocated in the modification layer. The samples were also subjected to micro-hardness measurements. It was found that the hardness values of modified surfaces are three times higher than that of the untreated samples. Hardness increased from 280 HV to approximately 1000 HV. For the fracture surface examinations using SEM and EDS, notched specimens were sunk into liquid nitrogen for one minute and then they were cracked by hammer. The cracks were taken place in two different fracture modes: one is the ductile fracture seen on the modified layer and second one is the transgranular fracture seen in the matrix (i.e. untreated sample layer).
The extinction of morphine-induced conditioned place preference by histone deacetylase inhibition

Recent evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms have an important role in the development of addictive behavior. However, little is known about the role of epigenetic mechanisms in the extinction of morphine-induced behavioral changes. In this study, we will examine the effect of histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors on extinction of morphine-induced conditioned place preference (CPP). To facilitate extinction, rats will be administered an HDAC inhibitor (HDACi) following nonreinforced exposure to the conditioned context. To measure persistence, rats were subject to a reinstatement test using 3 mg/kg dose of morphine. To exclude the effect of repeated NaBut injections themselves on morphine-CPP in the absence of extinction session, rats received injection of either NaBut or vehicle for 8 days. We found that HDAC inhibition during nonconfined extinction or confined extinction consolidation can facilitate extinction of morphine-induced CPP. We also showed that the extinction of drug seeking via HDAC inhibition modulates extinction learning such that reinstatement behavior is significantly attenuated. There is no effect of repeated NaBut injections themselves on morphine-CPP in the absence of extinction session. In conclusion, our results extend earlier reports on the ability of HDACi to modify the behavioral effects of drugs of abuse. Our increasing understanding of these epigenetic mechanisms will provide key answers to basic processes in drug addiction and hopefully provide insight into designing improved treatments for drug addiction.
Understanding Infection Prevention Practices in Optometry Clinics

Significance The Los Angeles County Department of Public Health investigated an outbreak of epidemic keratoconjunctivitis secondary to adenovirus linked to a single optometry clinic between June and July 2017. Suboptimal infection prevention practices were identified in the implicated clinic. Purpose The purpose of this study was to determine infection prevention practices in optometry clinics within Los Angeles County. Methods A 17-question survey on infection prevention practices among a sample of optometry providers in the county was conducted by the Los Angeles County Department of Public Health. The survey was administered via e-mails sent to a local optometric society's Listserv and in person at a local continuing education event for optometrists. The results were analyzed and are represented as percentages. Results There were 42 responses, 20 via the online survey (response rate, 15%) and 22 via the in-person survey (response rate, 22%). More than half had no written hand-hygiene policy (58.5%, n = 24/41), 46.2% (n = 18/39) did not wear gloves while examining patients with eye drainage, and about half (48.6%, n = 18/37) did not use droplet precautions for patients with respiratory symptoms. The vast majority used multidose eye-drop vials (92.5%, n = 37/40), but 41.6% (n = 15/36) did not discard the vial if the tip came into contact with conjunctiva/skin/environmental surface. To ensure a clean tonometer for each patient, the majority (68.4%, n = 26/38) used 70% isopropyl alcohol, 47.4% (n = 18/38) used noncontact tonometers, and 23.6% (n = 9/38) used disposable tips (answers not mutually exclusive); none used bleach. Conclusions Our data highlight several areas of concern in the practice of standard or transmission-based precautions in the sampled population. First, hand-hygiene policies are not well enforced. Second, personal protective equipment is not appropriately used while examining potentially infectious patients. Third, eye-drop vials are not consistently discarded if contaminated with eye secretions. Lastly, a large proportion of surveyed practices use inadequate disinfection techniques of tonometers.
Intermodality Promotion and Rail Renaissance in Adriatic – Ionian Region PLUS

Inter-Connect PLUS will tap into Inter-Connect project legacy and efficiently embed and tackle &#39;newcomers&#39; (risks mitigation, challenges confronting & also opportunities - arising from the European Green Deal and other initiatives on the programming period 2021-2027 - seizing) in the next day of passengers&#39; transportation in ADRION Region. COVID-19 pandemic outbreak was undoubtedly a shock event that, from March 2020, has much influenced our daily lives, not leaving aside our transportation habits. A large-scale experiment took place during the ‘hard’ months of March-May 2020, continuing up to the present with variations. Managing travel demand while respecting new protocols seems to be an unlocking tool for sustainable and well-connected areas since ‘back to normality’ carries risks; private cars are there after lockdowns returning or even, in some cases worsening, congestion and pollution levels.

Inter-Connect PLUS comes exactly at this crucial moment, the moment of transformation for ADRION Region’s connectivity starting from the intra areas mobility and going up to transnational links. It builds on Inter-Connect first generation results and brings them one step ahead by adding the knowledge and experience gained from the pandemic – it revitalizes Inter-Connect laboratories (Igoumenitsa – Region of Epirus GR, Bologna – Region Emilia Romagna IT, Trieste – Friuli Venezia Region IT, Ljubljana – SL, Zagreb – HR, Durres - AL) focusing on incorporating the new norms (COVID-19 related policies and practices resulting) into Inter-Connect Roadmap (project strategy upgrade), revising pilots (new pilot actions) and guaranteeing the intense targeted communication of the results to national/regional/local stakeholders and citizens (updated communication strategy, Inter-Connect network mobilization, ADRION clusters interface, a sequel of interlinked public events). Joint reflection (during capacity building activities, via Inter-Connect toolkit update and Roadmap promotion) on intermodal public and active transport based passengers’ mobility is estimated to trigger investment in real long lasting actions for strengthening area’s connectivity, cohesion and convergence with pioneer EU countries.
