MoveOSC — Smart Watches in Mobile Music Performance

Smart watches with motion sensors offer the potential of bringing hand-gesture based music performance to a large audience by removing the need for custom hardware. It further removes artifacts from the hand, as would be present when a smart phone or a motion-controller such as the Wiimote are used. We discuss the potential and technical limitations of a current generation commodity smart watch (Pebble) and describe contribution to music software on mobile devices. By using Open Sound Control (OSC) as well as ZeroConf/Bonjour networking an accessible setup for musical control by smart watches is provided. Furthermore the integration into the mobile music environment urMus allows flexible use in a broad range of more sophisticated performances.
Justice and the family: an analysis of the normative significance of procreation and parenthood in a just society

This project examines the normative significance of procreation and parenthood for theories of justice. Important questions of justice about the family arise once we acknowledge and keep in view that procreation and parenthood are both integral to the existence of any society (and therefore, a just society), and that they involve substantial benefits and burdens for parents, children, and society at large. Yet existing theories of justice generally neglect these questions by assuming that the principles they formulate are to regulate the main institutions of societies constituted by fully formed adult individuals whose creation and care are taken as given.  The project identifies and analyses three main sets of questions about family justice: 1) Does justice require that parents and non-parents share, and share equally, the costs and benefits of having children, and how do different answers to this question bear on our theory of distributive justice? 2) What are the claims of justice that we have as children, how do they relate to those we have as adults, and who bears the correlative duties? 3) Do all contemporaries, regardless of whether they are parents or non-parents, have the same obligations of justice towards future generations, and how, if at all, are the justification and the content of those obligations affected by considerations about what parents owe their children and parents and non-parents owe to each other? Addressing these questions contributes to developing normative-theoretical framework needed to address pressing public policy concerns, and also turns out to be more central to the formulation of a complete and defensible theory of justice than political philosophers have realised to date.
Sorting out the Survival Impact of Radiation Therapy in Early-Stage Invasive Breast Cancer

Radiation plays a major role in the management of early-stage breast cancer. While its impact on local–regional control is clearly documented with both clinically and statistically significant gains, the impact of radiation on overall and disease-free survival in early-stage disease remains a matter of controversy and debate.1–4

There are two major areas where the impact of radiation therapy on overall and disease-free survival has been extensively evaluated: 1. radiation to the whole breast following breast-conserving surgery (BCS + RT) and 2. comprehensive irradiation to the chest wall/breast and regional lymphatics after definitive surgery. In this commentary, we will review the evidence and controversies in these two major areas.1–3

Synthetically tuned atomic ordering and electronic properties of nano-intermetallic compounds for the ammonia synthesis.

Intermetallic compounds (IMCs) exhibit unique structural features accompanied by appropriate changes in the electronic properties. IMCs with their unique magnetic and electric properties have been studied for the superconductivity, shape-memory effects, hydrogen storage capability and for topological insulator applications. However, their catalytic properties have been overlooked so far compared to metals and alloys. These electronically and geometrically tuned structures were found to be excellent catalysts for selected chemical reactions such as semi-hydrogenation of alkynes, hydrogenation of CO and CO2 and unsaturated compounds. Only few works exist on IMCs in the activation of inert molecule N2 but they appear to be promising in this direction.  Activation of N2 is a significant step in the synthesis of ammonia (NH3). Even after 100 years of discovery, the same old high-energy consuming Fe based catalytic process is still operated commercially.5 The absence of significant success towards a further development of Fe based catalysts stipulates to look at alternative totally different catalysts. In this regard, Ruthenium(Ru) based catalyst supported on carbon emerged as second-generation catalysts for the ammonia synthesis at the end of 20th  century.6 Considering the high cost of Ru for commercialization, further research and development towards the design of less costly catalysts is necessary.  In this project, we propose to explore and evaluate nano intermetallic compounds for the activation of N2 molecule, thereby supporting the efficiency and competiveness towards ammonia synthesis. The main objective of the project is to design, optimize and explore the potentiality of novel nano Intermetallic Compound (IMC) supported catalysts for the NH3 synthesis. This project will in particular study the role of electronic and geometrical factors displayed by IMCs in the catalytic process through various characterization techniques including the in situ and operando.

Io  software for exascale architecture

IO-SEA aims to provide a novel data management and storage platform for exascale computing based on hierarchical storage management (HSM) and on-demand provisioning of storage services. The platform will efficiently make use of storage tiers spanning NVMe and NVRAM at the top all the way down to tape-based technologies. System requirements are driven by data intensive use-cases, in a very strict co-design approach. The concept of ephemeral data nodes and data accessors is introduced that allow users to flexibly operate the system, using various well-known data access paradigms, such as POSIX namespaces, S3/Swift Interfaces, MPI-IO and other data formats and protocols. These ephemeral resources eliminate the problem of treating storage resources as static and unchanging system components – which is not a tenable proposition for data intensive exascale environments. The methods and techniques are applicable to exascale class data intensive applications and workflows that need to be deployed in highly heterogeneous computing environments.

Critical aspects of intelligent data placement are considered for extreme volumes of data. This ensures that the right resources among the storage tiers are used and accessed by data nodes as close as possible to compute nodes – optimising performance, cost, and energy at extreme scale. Advanced IO instrumentation and monitoring features will be developed to that effect leveraging the latest advancements in AI and machine learning to systematically analyse the telemetry records to make smart decisions on data placement. These ideas coupled with in-storage-computation remove unnecessary data movements within the system.

The IO-SEA project (EuroHPC-2019-1 topic b) has connections to the DEEP-SEA (topic d) and RED-SEA (topic c) project. It leverages technologies developed by the SAGE, SAGE2 and NextGEN-IO projects, and strengthens the TLR of the developed products and technologies.

A central hub will offer multi-faceted lasting functionalities (Marketplace, Co-creation space, Benchmarking) to healthcare stakeholders, combined with a collection of methods, tools and solutions to integrate and deploy AI-enabled solutions. The Benchmarking tool will promote the adoption in new settings, while enabling a meeting place for technology providers and end-users. Eight Large-Scale Pilots will implement and evaluate improvements in medical diagnosis, surgical interventions, prevention and treatment of diseases, and support for rehabilitation and long-term care in several Hospital and care settings. The project will target different medical aspects or manifestations such as Cancer (Pilot #1, #2 and #8); Gastrointestinal (GI) disorders (Pilot #1); Cardiovascular diseases (Pilot #1, #4, #5 and #7); Thoracic Disorders (Pilot #5); Neurological diseases (Pilot #3); Elderly Care and Neuropsychological Rehabilitation (Pilot #6); Fetal Growth Restriction (FGR) and Prematurity (Pilot #1). To ensure a user-centred approach, harmonization in the process (e.g. regarding ethical aspects, standardization, and robustness both from a technical and social and healthcare perspective), the living lab methodology will be employed. HosmartAI will identify the appropriate instruments (KPI) that measure efficiency without undermining access or quality of care. Liaison and co-operation activities with relevant stakeholders and open calls will enable ecosystem building and industrial clustering. HosmartAI brings together a consortium of leading organizations (3 large enterprises, 8 SMEs, 5 hospitals, 4 universities, 2 research centres and 2 associations) along with several more committed organizations (Letters of Support provided).
3D simulation-based user interfaces for a highly-reconfigurable industrial assembly cell

Although SMEs would benefit from robotic solutions in assembly, the required invests and efforts for their implementation are often too risky and costly for them. Here, the Horizon 2020 project “ReconCell” aims at developing a new type of highy-reconfigurable multi-robot assembly cell which adresses the particular needs of SMEs. At the Institute for Man- Machine Interaction (MMI), we are developing 3D simulation-based user interfaces for ReconCell as the central technology to enable the fast, easy and safe programming of the system. ReconCell heavily builds on previous developments that are transferred from research and prepared for industrial partners with real use cases and demands. Thus, in this contribution, we describe MMI's software platform that will be the basis of the desired user interfaces for robot simulation and control, assembly simulation and execution, Visual Programming and sensor simulation.
Columbanus in Europe: the evidence from theEpistulae

The continental career of Columbanus has long attracted the attention of scholars because of his achievement as a writer, monastic founder and reformer, and political actor. His Epistulae are one of the most important pieces of evidence in understanding his attitudes and purposes during his twenty-year sojourn on the Continent, and they emphasize the importance of his ecclesiastical and secular relationships. However, the Epistulae have seldom been analysed independently and together, as their study has often been focused on single letters or specific aspects of the collection. This paper looks at the Epistulae in a more general way, to point out what they tell us about Columbanus's theological and ecclesiastical positions, and the connections he established on the Continent.
Horizontal wind turbines for maritime transport ships

International shipping is a large and growing source of greenhouse gas emissions (GHGs). It transports 80% of the global trade at the cost of 940 million CO2 tons (2.5% of global GHGs). Despite mandates from the EC or the UN on tackling this situation, the industry remains heavily fossil-fuel dependent. Some efforts are being made in harnessing the wind to propel ships, going back to its origins. These are soft-tails, fixed-sails, flettner rotors, kite sails and even some wind turbines. However, they all remain at the research stage failing to represent a feasible and reliable power source.
Sidewind is a breakthrough innovation in the use of wind power in transport ships. Designed to utilize the wind energy that is wasted around cargo ships by converting that energy (kinetic) into electricity, Sidewind incorporates horizontal turbines inside recycled cargo containers. This results in a flexible, practical and cost-effective solution to the maritime transport sector, without the need for major changes in the ship. By installing just 20 turbines (standard cargo ship), a ship will save 40% average fossil fuel and energy, translated in €328k per year.
The EU has 329 key seaports, controlling around 60% of all container cargo ships. Our customers are maritime transport companies (183 in Europe, managing 23,000 vessels) and ship builders (150 shipyards in the EU). The number of vessels calling in the main EU ports in 2017 was estimated at above 2.1 million, and we will target the most important shipping companies. We count with support from public entities (Ministry for the Environment and Natural Resources, Ministry of industries and innovation) and key industry players like Samskip (maritime transport), Hedinn (engineering in fishing industry) and Rafnar Hull (ship builder).
Sidewind is opening a new market niche as provider of wind technology for the maritime transport. Our vision for Sidewind is to play the leading role in a new green shipping era
Clinical Findings and Prognostic Factors for Dogs Undergoing Cholecystectomy for Gall Bladder Mucocele

To report clinical findings and explore prognostic factors for dogs that had cholecystectomy for gall bladder mucocele.Retrospective case series.Dogs (n = 43) with gall bladder mucoceles.Diagnosis of gall bladder mucoceles was confirmed by histopathology and 74% were diagnosed based on preoperative abdominal ultrasonography. Intraoperative evidence of gall bladder rupture was noted in 10 dogs (23%), and 16 (37%) had evidence of previous leakage in the abdominal cavity. One dog had positive bacterial growth from the gall bladder content. The most common histopathologic findings in liver biopsies obtained at surgery were cholangiohepatitis, biliary hyperplasia, or cholestasis. Univariate analysis showed evidence of postoperative hypotension (P = .05) to be significantly negatively associated with survival. Significant difference in mean postoperative serum lactate (P = .034) and postoperative packed cell volume (P = .063) between dogs that survived and died was also noted.Elevations in postoperative serum lactate concentrations and immediate postoperative hypotension in dogs undergoing cholecystectomy for gall bladder mucoceles are associated with poor clinical outcome.
A novel design of Microstrip fractal antenna for wireless sensor network

A novel approach of designing Microstrip antenna for wireless sensor network has been presented here. Now a day for any sensor network antenna takes a vital role in transmitting and receiving the signal. The Antenna which is presented here is a superior new design where the sensor network designer founds a flat gain response, dual band resonant and wider bandwidth. The purposed antenna is a square ring structure and it is fed by EM coupling. This design comes with a new technique which may not have implemented earlier. This technique is very much helpful to the designer as well as to the researcher to implement their idea in more efficient manner. The purposed antenna is multi layer microstrip square ring structure, which enable a flat band gain response and the gain is higher comparatively to other literature. This antenna is also resonating at multiple band of frequency, which is a good for multi band wireless application. Also the purposed antenna can be used for various kinds of mobile communication applications including MIMO (Multiple-Input Multiple-Output). The simulation study of various parameters of the designed antenna is done in IE3D electromagnetic EM simulator and presented in this paper. The layer thickness is optimized to get best result.
