MED Culinary heritage experiences: how to create sustainable tourist destinations

MEDFEST is tackling the challenge of diversifying traditional ‘sun & sea’ tourist destinations, with new and sustainable products based on rich and renowned culinary heritage of the Mediterranean. In so doing, we will increase the sustainability and quality of life in MED space. Our objective is to create tools and instruments for designing new sustainable culinary experiences, which will be offered to visitors to: 1) diversify the tourism sector in terms of products and its seasonality; 2) bring tourism development to the coastal hinterland; 3) safeguard culinary heritage for future generations.

To achieve the stated objectives we will produce the following outputs:
- Tools for enhancing sustainable tourist destinations by using culinary heritage as a resource.
- Creation of eight new sustainable tourist destinations in MED space based on the culinary heritage.
- Common transnational strategy on managing and planning culinary tourism in MED space.

This approach is unique because MED culinary heritage initiatives are generally unconnected and to this day there have been only few common approaches developed to integrate the MED culinary heritage into a sustainable tourist offer. The methodology in MEDFEST is based on participatory action planning, where three main types of stakeholders (producers, tourism organisations, policy makers) are involved and take responsibility for project’s actions from the beginning till the end to ensure the durability of the results.
Vibronic control of organic electronic devices

Organic electronics (OE) is an expanding research field that exploits the electronic functionalities of organic molecules to make them robust and cost-efficient building blocks for future electronic devices. Due to the ‘soft’ character of organic materials, their electronic properties are defined by vibronic coupling (VC) phenomena which are a result of the interaction between electron and nuclear dynamics of the molecule.
This research program aims to unlock a new direction of experimental studies investigating and exploiting VC in OE devices by using optical control of nuclear motion.
The growing awareness that VC underlies diverse phenomena from physics to biology stimulates a broad interdisciplinary effort to address this issue. However, in the field of OE, the lack of synergy between device and optical studies holds the potential functionality offered by VC effects from being attained. In 2012, I proposed a direct route to control the performance of OE devices by optically switching the vibronic states of the molecules. Though this work came specifically in connection with organic photovoltaics, it provides the starting point for a more fundamental and broad reaching of VC phenomena. The proposed research program will use this opportunity. I will apply state-of-the-art developments in infrared light shaping to create a well-defined coherent superposition of molecular vibrational motions inside devices and study their influence on electron dynamics with device-specific spectroscopic techniques.
This approach combines recent advances in ultrafast spectroscopy and OE to extend our fundamental understanding of molecular charge transport. Our methodology will become a tool for elucidating current pathways in organic nanodevices and offer access to non-equilibrium phenomena down to the level of molecular junctions. This research will lead to the development of new design rules for OE materials serving future advances in molecular electronics, computing and sensing.
Innovative tools to study the impact and mode of action of micro and nanoplastics on human health: towards a knowledge base for risk assessment

The exponential increase in the production/use of plastic translates into a parallel increase of environmental plastic-waste that is continuously degraded into micro and nanoplastics (MNPLs). Information on the MNPLs effects on human health is still preliminary and, furthermore, the limitations in current methodologies prevent accurate human exposure/risk assessment.  
In this context, PLASTICHEAL aims at providing new methodologies and solid scientific evidence to regulators by combining the use of breakthrough research and validated test methods to set the knowledge basis for adequate risk assessment of MNPLs. 
PLASTICHEAL will be supported by an innovative experimental approach that will first generate human exposure estimates after identification, measurement, and characterization of MNPLs present in the environmental air, water and food sources, as well as in human biological samples of population groups with potential high MNPLs exposure levels (biomonitoring study) by means of adapting the existing analytical methodology proven useful for fibres and nanomaterials. Those estimates will then be complemented/ correlated with the output of kinetic models using data on MNPLs translocation, accumulation and destabilization of the Gastrointestinal and Respiratory Tracts, and with the MNPLs toxicokinetic in blood and secondary organs using in vivo models. Thereafter, immune effects, transforming effects, genotoxic effects, impact on transcriptome/epigenome/secretome (i.e. omics), stemness imbalance and potential molecular mechanisms of action and adverse outcome pathways in blood, primary and secondary organs will be studied under in vitro, in vivo, and ex vivo short and long-term (co)exposure settings.  
To ensure the impact of PLASTICHEAL’s developed methodology and gained knowledge on current and future regulation, a continuous dialogue will be established from the beginning of the project with policy makers and other key stakeholders of the plastic value chain.
PLASTICHEAL is part of the European MNP cluster on human health (Name and acronym to be decided).
A model for nulling and mode changing in pulsars

We propose that in some pulsars the magnetosphere has different states with different geometries or/and different distributions of currents, it occasionally switches between them. These states have different spindown rates and emission beams, in some of the states no radioemission is produced at all. Switching into a different state manifests as a mode change when we see different parts of the emission beam or the beams in different states have significantly different geometries, it manifests as nulling when we either miss the new beam or no radioemission is generated in the new state. We show that modest variations in the beam shape can be accompanied by large variations in the pulsar spindown rate W - the dependence of W on the opening angle of the emission beam $\alpha$ can be as strong as W\propto\alpha^4. We speculate about physical mechanisms which may cause reconfiguration of the magnetosphere.
Magnetic micromachines based on protocell design and engineering

Protocells are artificial cellular systems exhibiting lifelike properties, which are proposed as a stepping-stone for understanding the origin of life on Earth. Features such as encapsulation, replication, metabolism and selective exchange of chemicals with the environment will enable their use as micromachines in a number of emerging applications (e.g., environment clean-up, clinical diagnosis, drug delivery, remote sensing, bioreactor technology). However, progress in such applications will be enhanced by the synthetic construction of protocells capable of directed movement in fluidic environments in response to external stimuli. To date, motility has been achieved only in a few cases, which involve a response to changes in chemical concentrations (chemotaxis) in the surrounding medium. However, controlling the chemical composition of the local environment is challenging, and thus alternative ways to stimulate motility are needed. In this regard, external magnetic fields (MFs) will enable high levels of control of protocell motility and spatial disposition to be achieved by employing noncontact forces. This is the aim of this proposal: to design and construct synthetic protocells able to sense and respond to external MFs. A key outcome of the work will be the development of a new class of magnetic micromachines based on protocell design and engineering. Such machines will couple MF-directed motility with the temporal and spatial delivery of advanced biomimetic functions. The key factor of the proposed methodology is the inclusion of colloidal magnetic particles at strategic locations in the protocell composition or in the external medium. Thereby, the expertise of the applicant (Dr. Rodríguez Arco) in the field of MF-responsive materials will be applied to the multidisciplinary and cutting-edge field of protocells in which the hosting group at the University of Bristol (under the leadership of Prof. Mann FRS) has made great progress in the last few years.
The collaborative blockchain backed platform bringing together disperse public and private ev charging point providers and drivers

The current EV charging landscape in Europe is fragmented with an evident lack of interoperability between EV charging point operators/users. Cross border mobility and long distance travel is difficult for EV drivers. Place to Plug offers a collaborative platform integrated with blockchain that aims to reach the maximum number of EV users and operators, bringing together a fragmented network of public charging points and expanding it by also offering private charging points. In this way we will create a solid network to ensure sufficient energy supply for every EV user, reducing range anxiety. Place to Plug has created the only platform whose model is collaborative, tending to add the highest number of charging points possible, independent of type (public/private sector). The platform employ blockchain and virtual currency for EV drivers to pay charging sessions in private charging points thus circumventing restrictions on the sale of energy between private individuals and automating processes via smart contracts. The platform, which integrate all charging points from diverse
operators, allows users to book and activate charge points using the mobile app or the website. Other platforms require a card (or do not offer a blockchain platform) which varies depending on the charging point’s operator. Other competitive advantages include route planning features based on the EV’s model and available charging points and a smart and 100% proprietary charging station with unique features. EV sales are on the rise and will represent 15-18% of vehicle sales in 2020 and 30-50% in 2030. We can expect the European EV stock to grow from a size of 1,250,000 in 2018 to ~8 m EV stock in 2022. Taking into account an annual revenue of €24 per each user (B2C) and from €48 to €450 per each control center subscription (B2B), our business model is able to generate an expected service obtainable market (SOM)/revenues of €9.1 m in 2023.

Perforation of Bowel Lymphoma: Beware of Atypical Presentations

IntroductionIntestinal lymphomas can present as surgical complications such as perforation. There is little data regarding the risk factors, clinical features, management, and prognosis of bowel perforation in patients with intestinal lymphoma. The aims of this study were to analyze the risk factors for this complication and to describe the clinical picture.Patients and MethodsAll patients undergoing surgery for lymphoma-related perforation between 2002 and 2012 in the University Hospital of Dijon were retrospectively analyzed. The clinical, histological, and imaging features were recorded.ResultsSix patients underwent emergent laparotomy for this cause: in three patients, the perforation revealed the underlying disease, and in the other three patients, it occurred during chemotherapy treatment for known lymphoma. The clinical picture was a typical acute peritonitis in the first group, but was nonspecific and insidious in the chemotherapy-induced group. In all cases, aggressive lymphomas were present, and three patients had coexisting infection with the human immunodeficiency virus.ConclusionLymphoma-related perforation presents as an acute peritonitis in previously untreated patients in which it reveals the disease. However, it may be induced by chemotherapy and present with nonspecific insidious symptoms. The prognosis is also different according to these characteristics. The particularities of this disease warrant its knowledge to ensure an optimal management.

Internally loaded cross-coupled open-loop resonators for a miniaturized bandpass filter using integrated passive device technology

In this article, an open-loop resonator with internally loaded side-coupled double open-loops is proposed for use in the design of a compact bandpass filter with high selectivity and improved out-of-band rejection characteristics. The outer main open-loop resonators are designed to operate at the center frequency of 7.7 GHz. In addition, side-coupled double open-loops are used to enhance electromagnetic coupling to provide high selectivity response and suppressed harmonics with an additional transmission zero at the bandstop region. The operating frequency shifting is performed by tuning the electromagnetic coupling strength without changing the configuration of the outer main open-loops. To achieve a miniature size with high selectivity, the integrated passive devices semiconductor fabrication technology is implemented to achieve a compact size of 2.2 × 4.98 mm2, which is a compact size for X-band downlink satellite communication applications. © 2014 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Blood volumes in pediatric clinical trials: a review of current regulations and guidance for research studies

Significant progress is being made in advancing the development of clinical research in pediatrics. In continuing this trend, we must safeguard the interests and welfare of children participating in increasingly expansive and complex clinical trials designed to maximize clinical and scientific outputs. The potential impact of taking multiple blood samples and sometimes substantial blood volumes from children is at present unclear. Available guidelines define safe limits of 1–5% total blood volume, but these guidelines vary and are not evidence-based. The current review looks at the basis for these guidelines, summarizes previously published studies directly addressing this important issue and discusses factors that should be considered in the design and implementation of clinical research involving blood sampling in children.

Modified cost effective fibre based structures with improved multi-functionality and performance

Current technological demands are increasingly stretching the properties of advanced materials to expand their applications to more severe or extreme conditions, whilst simultaneously seeking cost-effective production processes and final products. The aim of this project is to demonstrate the influence of different surface enhancing and modification techniques on CF-based materials for high value and high performance applications. These materials are a route to further exploiting advanced materials, using enabling technologies for additional functionalities, without compromising structural integrity. Carbon fibre (CF) based materials have particular advantages due to their lightweight, good mechanical, electrical and thermal properties. Current generation CFs have extensively been used in a multitude of applications, taking advantage of their valuable properties to provide solutions in complex problems of materials science and technology, however the limits of the current capability has now being reached. 
MODCOMP aims to develop novel fibre-based materials for technical, high value, high performance products for non-clothing applications at realistic cost, with improved safety and functionality. Demonstrators will be designed to fulfil scalability towards industrial needs . End users from a wide range of industrial sectors (transport, construction, leisure and electronics) will adapt the knowledge gained from the project and test the innovative high added value demonstrators. An in-depth and broad analysis of material development, coupled with related modelling studies, recycling and safety will be conducted in parallel for two types of materials (concepts): 
• CF-based structures with increased functionality (enhanced mechanical, electrical, thermal properties).
• CNF-based structures for flexible electronics applications.

Dedicated multiscale modelling, standardisation and production of reference materials are also considered
IRONING APPARATUS

The present invention relates to an ironing apparatus comprising: a water tank, a filter for reducing the water hardness placed in fluid communication with the tank and adapted to receive and filter the water contained in the tank, an iron that comprises at least a main body and a thermo-conductive metal plate secured to the base of the main body and adapted to receive the filtered water from the filter. Furthermore, the filter for reducing the water hardness comprises at least one ion exchange resin provided with silver ions. Such a filter for reducing the water hardness provided with ion-exchange resins supplied of silver ions is able to prolong the life of the iron, reducing the hardness of the filtered water and preventing the formation of algae in the filter itself, thus avoiding thereby the formation of limestone and the proliferation of algae in both resins and other parts of the hydraulic lines in the iron.
