EMC Challenges for ESA Scientific Missions

The new scientific European Space Agency (ESA) missions are demanding new restrictions for Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) coming from the scientists. The observation of the deep space, our closer planets and stars requires the measurement of very low Electric and Magnetic fields that imposes important challenges of EMC compatibility for all the on-board equipment of the satellite. This paper presents these new requirements for emission (E-field and H-field) and magnetic fields for two of the last ESA mission; Solar Orbiter and Juice and compare them with the standards requirement coming from the ESA standards. These challenges will appear in two of the development phases: design phase and verification phases. These new requirements shall be taking into account in the design but also during the verification and testing. The measurements required for the verification of these requirements are also an important challenge. This paper shown the test challenge during the verification.
Two-Dimensional liquid cell dielectric microscopy

Understanding molecular organization and dynamics which are governed by electrostatic and electrodynamics interactions on the nanoscale requires the measurement of dielectric polarization at the molecular level. Yet, this has remained a formidable challenge because standard dielectric spectroscopy is limited to the micrometer scale that is achieved by using microfabricated electrodes at low frequencies and optical approaches at high frequencies. At the same time, despite the advances in atomistic calculations, theorists struggle to predict dielectric polarization when the system approaches molecular sizes. During the last years I pioneered the development of scanning dielectric microscopy, measuring the dielectric constants of nano-objects as small as tens of nanometers in size - a resolution unparalleled world-wide. In the next five years, I will push the boundaries of the technique and probe the polarizability of liquids and biological macromolecules under two-dimensional (2D) confinement by implementing novel experimental and theoretical approaches. By engineering 2D liquid cells with controlled properties by van der Waals assembly, I will probe polarization and thermodynamic properties of nanoconfined molecular liquids for the first time on the molecular scale with fundamental implications for physical and life sciences. It will provide the experimental data to validate first-principles predictions and mean-field computational methods on which the study of condensed/soft matter and molecular biology is based. The proposal will exploit my current lead to access a key physical property of matter that has remained unknown so far, enabling a wealth of new science in a vast range of research fields, from physical sciences to chemistry and biology, and facilitating the design of devices with novel functionalities.

Relationships Between Stereotyped Movements and Sensory Processing Disorders in Children With and Without Developmental or Sensory Disorders

Stereotyped movements (SM) are a defining characteristic of autism but are also present in children with a range of sensory and developmental disorders. We examined whether the severity of sensory processing disorders (SPD) was associated with the severity of SM and whether SPD accounted for between-group differences in SM.The Short Sensory Profile and the Stereotyped and Self-Injurious Movements Interview were administered to children with autism, intellectual disability, visual impairment, and hearing impairment and to typically developing children.SPD predicted the severity of SM in all samples and accounted for differences in SM between the groups. Other differences in the severity of SM were the result of diagnosis and the interaction between diagnosis and an intellectual disability.SPD may be a source of SM, but functional connections between these phenomena will need to be tested in future research. Implications for occupational performance are addressed.
Diagnóstico de granuloma periapical em dente com características de lesão não-endodôntica

O diagnóstico endodôntico pode ser desafiador quando os aspectos radiográficos e clínicos não se correlacionam. Paciente sexo feminino, 50 anos, procurou atendimento no Centro de Especialidades Odontológicas de Senador Canedo, Goiás, queixando-se de desconforto e inchaço na mucosa vestibular dos dentes 32, 31 e 41. A radiografia periapical revelou área radiolúcida envolvendo as raízes dos dentes 32, 31, 41 e 42. Os testes de percussão vertical e horizontal foram negativos e o de sensibilidade pulpar a frio foi positivo em todos os dentes. Como o dente 31 apresentava alteração de cor na coroa, foi realizado teste de cavidade para a certificação da vitalidade pulpar cuja resposta também foi positiva. Assim, a hipótese diagnóstica inicial foi de lesão não-endodôntica. Após anestesia, foram realizados punção aspirativa, biópsia excisional e encaminhamento para o Centro Goiano de Doenças da Boca (FO-UFG, Goiânia/Go). O diagnóstico anatomopatológico foi de granuloma periapical contrariando os testes anteriormente realizados. Após laudo conclusivo, o dente 31 passou pelas etapas de abertura, preparo do canal com sistema Protaper Universal (Denstply-Maillefer), irrigação com solução de NaOCl a 2,5% e EDTA 17%, medicação intracanal com Ca(OH)2 P.A. e soro fisiológico e obturação com cimento endodôntico Sealapex (Sybron Endo) após 21 dias. O controle radiográfico de 3 anos mostra completo reparo tecidual. O objetivo deste estudo foi descrever um relato de caso em que os sinais e sintomas clínicos não foram compatíveis com os achados anatomopatológicos discutindo a importância de esgotar todos os recursos diagnósticos para a tomada de decisão adequada.&#x0D; Unitermos: Diagnóstico, granuloma periapical, preparo de canal radicular&#x0D;
STEAM IRON

Steam iron (1) having a water tank (2) which can be hydraulically connected to a steam chamber (6) via a preliminary chamber (16), wherein the preliminary chamber has an inlet opening (22), which is connected to the water tank, and an outlet opening (24) which is connected to the steam chamber a drip-protection valve (26) for opening and closing the inlet opening a displaceable control rod (28), which extends within the preliminary chamber through a hermetically sealed preliminary-chamber passage opening (46), for adjusting the quantity of water which flows out of the preliminary chamber (16), through the outlet opening (24), to the steam chamber (6) when the control rod (28) is at least in a first position (P1a, P1b). The displaceable control rod (28) has a rod-bypass section (30) which, when the rod is in a second position (P2a, P2b), opens the hermetically sealed preliminary-chamber passage opening (46) and permits water to flow from the water tank (2) to the preliminary chamber (16) and from the preliminary chamber, through the outlet opening (24), to the steam chamber (6).
Knee valgus braces and lateral wedge insoles in the treatment of medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis

Osteoarthritis of the knee joint has been shown to develop in approximately 10% of adults over the age of 55, and is nearly ten times more common in the medial than the
lateral compartment. This discrepancy is speculated to be the result of increased load on the medial tibiofemoral cartilage with the external knee adduction moment being used as a surrogate measure for this medial loading. In the management of knee osteoarthritis, surgical treatments have been of great success, but conservative treatments such as
valgus braces and lateral wedge insoles to alter this loading are important before surgery is considered. No study has ever compared a valgus knee brace and lateral wedge insole against each other in the same population, and therefore the purpose of this thesis was to determine which of these is best in terms of biomechanical, clinical and user observations.
A randomised cross-over comparison study of a valgus knee brace and a lateral wedge insole was performed in 28 patients presenting with medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis
whilst using the interventions for a two week period. Pre- and post-intervention, threedimensional kinematic and kinetic walking data, clinical outcomes and user observations were collected to characterise the difference between the interventions.
The valgus knee brace and the lateral wedge insole significantly reduced the external knee adduction moment compared to the baseline readings, with the lateral wedge insole significantly more. The valgus knee brace had a significant reduction in knee adduction angle with the lateral wedge having a significant increase in the lateral centre of pressure trajectory. It is apparent from the results in this thesis that the lateral wedged insole is
the best choice of intervention to use with medial tibiofemoral osteoarthritis given the reduced external knee adduction moment and pain, whilst having increased acceptance by patients compared to the knee brace. Further studies to understand their efficacy are needed.
Extreme-value graphical models with multiple covariates

To assess the risk of extreme events such as hurricanes and floods, it is crucial to develop accurate extreme-value statistical models. Extreme events often display heterogeneity, varying continuously with a number of covariates. Previous studies have suggested that models considering covariate effects lead to reliable estimates of extreme value distributions. In this paper, we develop a novel model to incorporate the effects of multiple covariates. Specifically, we analyze as an example the extreme sea states in the Gulf of Mexico, where the distribution of extreme wave heights changes systematically with location and wind direction. The block maxima at each location and sector of wind direction are assumed to follow the Generalized Extreme Value (GEV) distribution. The GEV parameters are coupled across the spatio-directional domain through a graphical model, particularly, a multidimensional thin-membrane model. Efficient learning and inference algorithms are then developed based on the special characteristics of the thin-membrane model. Numerical results for both synthetic and real data indicate that the proposed model can accurately describe marginal behavior of extreme events.
Salt and Revenue in Frontier Formation: State Mobilized Ethnic Politics in the Yunnan-Burma Borderland since the 1720s

Abstract This research reviews the formation of the Yunnan-Burma frontier since the 1720s, when the Qing government reformed the administrative systems from chieftainships to official counties in the middle and southern Yunnan mountains areas. One of some crucial political changes was the policy of salt revenue which directly stimulated large scale ethnic resistance in the region of salt wells. However, the social political context of continuing ethnic conflicts was not only rooted in the reshaping of the salt-consuming districts, but also rooted in social changes in the Yunnan-Burma borderland because of increasing Han Chinese immigration and their penetration into mining, long distance trade and local agriculture. In order to successfully control mountain resources as the base of revenue, the Qing government continued to gradually integrate native Dai chieftains into official counties. Local resistance continued and reached a peak from the 1790s to the 1810s. Pushed by the Qing government, and with the collaboration of different social actors, the synthesized mobilization of frontier formation had made ethnic politics a main style of social political reconstruction, even if commercial exchange, long distance trade, and demographic reshaping also continued to be mixed with ethnic politics as another layer of the Yunnan-Burma frontier formation.

Disruptive real world data & real world evidence internet of things platform for faster and more accurate clinical studies

Clinical trials (CT) take an average of 8 years and $100M to complete and is a key component in drug development. Relevant to this proposal, some of the reasons that cause CTs to have high costs and lengthy time frames for Study Sponsors are ineffective monitoring, poor quality control measures, poor data management and lack of reporting tools. Among all phases, on average, these challenges amount approximately the 45-50% of the costs. Furthermore, traditional methods for evaluating the evolution of the patient’s symptoms produce data that is episodic, subjective and scarce, meaning that patients, clinicians, and other stakeholders do not get the needed evidence for making real-world decisions.

We propose humanITcare, a disruptive Internet of Things (IoT) platform that provides Real World Data (RWD) & Real-World Evidence (RWE) which is innovative because provides a passive 24/7 remote monitoring of patient’s symptoms in CTs, validated in a clinical study with 60 participants in Hospital Clinic of Barcelona.

Patients and clinical researchers are the final users with whom we have extensively worked on locally and at a European level in product validation and market fit. In the first internationalization year, we plan to go to strategic EU countries (Belgium, Germany and Sweden).

We are a multidisciplinary team, including senior physicians, data scientists, software engineers as well as business and health experts. We have been awarded thrice from EIT Health. Our ambition is to be the best company for remotely monitoring the health of patients or the overall population using their own devices or disease-specific devices. With the grant and the coaching of the SME phase I, we intend to perform 1) market study; 2) regulatory analysis; 3) business plan. As part of our ambition, in 4 years, we will work towards entering the clinical market too with the aim to improve patients’ health outcomes by providing a better follow-up.
“Naked Microvascular Bone Flap” in Oral Reconstruction

Since the 1980s, bone free flaps have been used to reconstruct the maxilla and the mandible. The vascular pedicle, through the supply of nutritional substances and drugs from the bloodstream, ensures the vitality of the flap, rapid bone integration, and reduced risk of infection.However, due to many surgeons' concerns about orocervical and orosinusal fistulas and infections, bone flaps are usually buried and protected by mucosal flaps or a second skin flap whenever it is not possible to harvest a skin paddle together with the bone flap.The authors, convinced that naked bone free flaps, if well vascularized, are capable of healing and repairing the osteomucosal deficit on their own, with no risk of infection or fistulas, began to harvest, for oral reconstructions, naked bone flaps, that is, bone flaps covered only by a muscle layer 5 to 20 mm thick.In this study, the authors present a review of their experience in oral cavity reconstructions by harvesting naked and covered bone free flaps, retrospectively evaluating the occurrence of major and minor, early and late complications, associated with the different reconstructive technique.
Frequency and affecting factors of metabolic syndrome in women older than 20 years of age

Metabolic syndrome (MetS) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality affecting increasing number of people. This was a cross-sectional study aiming to identify the prevalence of MS and risk factors in women aged 20 years and older.Study's universe consisted of women aged 20 years and older living in Gölbaşi Ali Soydan Health Centre's territory. Eight hundred fifty women were accessed among them. Data were collected by a questionnaire. Measurements were done in the health centre following fasting 12 hours. One way ANOVA, correlation and logistic regression analyses were used for statistical analysis.The mean age was 39.4 years, 62% have primary school education. Prevalence of MetS was found 39.1%; low high-density lipoprotein (HDL) and abdominal obesity were the most common MetS components. On the contrary, education and age had negative correlation with HDL and positive correlation with other MetS components. Age (OR=1.091; 95%CI = 1.071-1.110; p=0.0001), and education lower than middle school (literate OR=2.491; 95%CI = 1.334-2.855; p=0.007; primary school OR=1.841; 95%CI 1.281-2.855; p=0.006) were found to increase MetS risk.Even more than half of our study group who has urban life style has two or more MetS components. Because of older age, accelerant factor for MetS, improving of healthy lifestyle behaviors in study group with genetic and environmental risk factors should be primary goal in terms of prevention of cardiovascular diseases and diabetes.
The market impacts of shortening feed supply chains in Europe

Recently, consumers’ awareness regarding food production has increased, leading to a growing focus on shorter food supply chains and regional or local food systems. In the livestock sector, these developments are closely related to a regionalization of feed production. At the same time, a low self-sufficiency rate in protein feed is being reported for many European countries. In this paper, we analyze market impacts resulting from a complete switch to regionally produced feed in the European livestock sector. We simulate a shortening of feed supply chains in European livestock production using a large-scale agricultural sector model. Livestock production was restricted to feed that can be produced within the same EU member state. Our work represents a first step towards a simulation of regional or local food systems. The results reveal large increases in the prices of livestock products in Europe due to the shortening of feed supply chains. This is a result of a significant increase in livestock production costs. The ability to supply livestock products with regionally produced feed in the EU would be improved through a reduced consumption of livestock products.
