COSTS AND BENEFITS OF LIFETIME EXPOSURE TO MATING RIVALS IN MALE<i>DROSOPHILA MELANOGASTER</i>

Theory predicts that males should evolve mechanisms to assess competition and allocate resources accordingly. This requires phenotypic plasticity, to accurately match responses to the environment. Plastic responses in males to sexual competition are diverse and widespread. However, our ability to understand and predict how they evolve is limited because their benefits are rarely measured, and costs are, as yet, entirely unquantified. In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, males that anticipate strong competition for matings or fertilizations subsequently mate for longer and transfer more of two key seminal fluid proteins. This results in significantly elevated reproductive output. In this study, we examined the fitness effects of male responses to rivals across the entire male life span. Males were exposed to rivals or not throughout life while controlling mating opportunities. Males showed significant responses to rivals throughout their lifetimes, associated with significant early-life fitness benefits. However, these disappeared after the third mating. There were also significant costs--males exposed to rivals took significantly fewer mating opportunities in later life and had significantly shorter life spans than controls. The data suggest that there are substantial costs for males of mounting plastic responses to the threat of sexual competition.
Advancing sustainability of process industries through digital and circular water use innovations

AquaSPICE aims at materializing circular water use in the European Process Industries, fostering awareness in resource-efficiency and delivering compact solutions for industrial applications. That challenging aim necessitates (i) multiple state-of-the-art water treatment and re-use technologies, (ii) diverse closer-loop practices regarding water, energy and substances, (iii) a cyber-physical-system controller in the form of a system for real-time monitoring, assessment and optimization of water (re-)use at different interconnected levels and (iv) an effective methodological, regulatory and business framework. AquaSPICE not only offers these but claims their sufficiency, as also supported by the breadth of European process industries who are here to evaluate (i)-(iv). 

AquaSPICE’s innovations emanate from the requirements of 6 Case Studies, involving 8 industrial actors (Dow, BASF, Water-Link, Solvay, ARETUSA, Agricola, JEMS and TUPRAS) in 6 EU countries (Germany, Netherlands, Belgium, Italy, Slovenia and Romania) and 1 associated country (Turkey). 

AquaSPICE follows a systemic approach in water management where optimal efficiency can be achieved through an adaptation of appropriate technologies and practices in different levels, from a single industrial process (unit operation), to an entire factory, to other collaborating industries (industrial symbiosis) or other sectors (e.g. domestic and/or agriculture). 

AquaSPICE enables and facilitates the immediate uptake, replication and up-scaling of innovations, by providing comprehensive strategic, business and organizational plans that offer a range of well-defined and pre-packaged solutions, suitable for various cases with quite different characteristics.

A review of mental health need in prison

The National Council of Independent Monitoring Boards recently identified prisoners’
unmet mental health needs as a foremost concern of boards across England and
Wales. The report provides an overview of findings from 57 Independent Monitoring
Boards which responded to a request by the National Council for information
about mental health need in the prison which they monitor.
A significant number of prisons receive individuals who have a serious mental
illness and for whom prison is not a suitable environment. From the perspective of
the Independent Monitoring Boards these people should have been diverted from
custody either by the police and court liaison services or by mental health services
in the community.
Supporting pioneer doctoral researchers through 3i knowledge partnerships

The SPaRK Programme is driven by the need to develop future leaders whose skills combine disciplinary excellence with a capacity for interdisciplinary and intersectoral working that creates genuinely disruptive thinkers. SPaRK recognises that genuinely game-changing intersectoral, international and interdisciplinary collaboration does not happen simply by making available opportunities for mobility, placements, or input from other disciplines. It is therefore designed to offer an innovative model of professional and scientific development that is proactively training researchers to be able to maximise the potential of these 3i partnerships. Only by rethinking our current, competence-based skills agenda in ways that embrace a model based on intellectual flexibility and creativity can we prepare the leaders who will be equipped to respond to constantly shifting global challenges. The SPaRK programme thus proposes the integration of disciplinary excellence with a meaningful reflection on the possibilities both of interdisciplinarity and of mobility across cultural, linguistic, professional and epistemological borders.

QUB is ideally placed to host this programme. It is the UK leader in Knowledge Transfer Partnerships and has an outstanding reputation for nurturing research with societal impact across the cultural, commercial and scientific economies. In addition, Queen’s enjoys a significant track record in attracting funding for cohort-based doctoral training programmes (ITNs, UK Research Councils), and as testimony to its record of excellence in, and commitment to, enhanced doctoral training, the university has recently invested the equivalent of 7m euros in a new Graduate School (opened in April 2015), of which the PI for this application is Dean. The Graduate School will host the SPaRK cohort, providing world-class facilities as well as an intellectual hub for 3i training, debate and dialogue.
Empire of the Air: Aviation and the American Ascendancy

From the flights of the Wright brothers through the mass journeys of the jet age, airplanes inspired Americans reimagine their nation's place within the world. Now, Jenifer Van Vleck reveals the central role commercial aviation played in the United States' rise global preeminence in the twentieth century. As U.S. military and economic influence grew, the federal government partnered with the aviation industry carry and deliver power across the globe and sell the very idea of the American Century the public at home and abroad.Invented on soil and widely viewed as a symbol of national greatness, the airplane promised extend the frontiers of the United States to infinity, as Pan World Airways president Juan Trippe said. As it accelerated the global circulation of U.S. capital, consumer goods, technologies, weapons, popular culture, and expertise, few places remained distant from the influence of Wall Street and Washington. Aviation promised secure a new type of empire--an empire of the air instead of the land, which emphasized access markets rather than the conquest of territory and made the entire world America's sphere of influence.By the late 1960s, however, foreign airlines and governments were challenging America's control of global airways, and the domestic aviation industry hit turbulent times. Just as the history of commercial aviation helps explain the ascendance of power, its subsequent challenges reflect the limits and contradictions of the Century.
O Bosque como espaço de integração social e formação do sujeito ecológico

A natureza é a condição fundamental para a sobrevivência humana, contudo a ação destrutiva e invasora da espécie tem acarretado os diversos problemas enfrentados na atualidade. Nesse contexto, um instrumento de intervenção para a utilização responsável e adequada dos recursos naturais é a educação. Ações de Educação Ambiental são essenciais para o desenvolvimento da consciência ecológica, redução dos impactos ambientais e para a construção da sustentabilidade social e econômica. Assim, o objetivo deste trabalho foi a implantação de um bosque, nas dependências do Instituto Federal do Paraná - IFPR - Campus Ivaiporã. Esta iniciativa visa despertar sentidos e significado a todos os indivíduos da instituição, além de desenvolver o sentimento de pertencimento, construir relações de corresponsabilidade e promover o engajamento para as questões ambientais. O plantio de 100 árvores de espécies nativas do Paraná foi realizado pelos servidores, terceirizados e por cada turma da instituição. Cada árvore recebeu uma placa de identificação contendo o nome comum, científico, nome do servidor/turma que a plantou e um código de resposta rápida, que possibilita o acesso a informações mais detalhadas sobre a espécie. Para que as atividades no espaço construído sejam contínuas e relacionadas ao objetivo de somar experiências e ampliar conhecimentos estão em andamento avaliações periódicas da sobrevivência e crescimento das espécies. Espera-se que a partir dessas ações e com a atuação direta com o cuidado do bosque e vivências neste ambiente, seja possível gerar novas e promissoras perspectivas sociais e educacionais.

Bridging experimental and modelling approaches to predict marine native and invasive hotspots under climate change

The amplitude and frequency of extreme events, such as marine heatwaves, are increasing with climate change in the European coasts. The loss of native foundational species (macroalgae and seagrasses) will open windows of opportunity for invasive species, a major threat to Europe's biodiversity that has social and economic impacts. However, our ability to predict the future distribution of marine habitat-forming species under climate change is yet limited. 
Recently, physiological thermal limits obtained from mesocosm experiments have been combined with species distribution models (SDMs) to produce more consistent predictions in the form of mechanistic or hybrid models. However, mechanistic models remain mostly untested and the existing approaches do not provide an efficient tool to produce multi-species models suitable to identify hotspots of species at risk of extinction and hotspots for invasive macrophytes. 
MarHot aims at filling this gap by providing an innovative framework to integrate physiological thermal limits into SDMs in order to anticipate future redistributions of marine coastal species. Thanks to an interdisciplinary collaborative research, cutting-edge mesocosms set-ups provided by the hosts and innovative approaches to constrain SDM outputs with experimental evidence, we will investigate multi-species range shifts in response of marine heatwaves. MarHot will take advantage of recent analytical tools to detect extreme thermal events and the increasing availability of global databases on thermal tolerance limits. The project will provide a powerful analytical framework for mechanistic models and open source software for large-scale prediction of coastal macrophyte hotspots under future scenarios of marine heatwaves. MarHot outputs will contribute to achieving the Development Goals and Biodiversity regulations adopted by the EU, placing its researchers at the forefront of biodiversity conservation in the face of climate change.
Creating value by bridging the intergenerational gap

Many of our elders feel lonely, they have problems of self-esteem, socialisation and depression. A surprising fact is that
twothirds of the older adults who said that they felt lonely were either married or living with a partner of some kind. But
loneliness is not only an issue for older generations. Nowadays there is growing concern about the loss of values and the
increase of loneliness in youngsters, there is a lack of intergenerational communication: many young people is not enjoying
the opportunity to learn from experience and values through the direct contact with elderly people. The society has evolved
in this sense while formal and non-formal education is not covering this issue. In this context, the objective of Adopt
Grandparents is to implement a social business model to connect elderly people living in care homes and youngsters. They
will carry out shared activities where: - Elders will enjoy direct contact with young people sharing experiences and interests. -
Youngsters complement their education through the contact with the experience of elderly people within a complete
programme of activities. Adopt Grandparents provides a Social & Education Training Programme for youngsters with a
formal roadmap for young trainees and a visits schedule for the elderly under the supervision of instructors. After three years
operating as a non-profit organisation, Intergenerational Technologies SL was constituted as a company to launch Adopt
Grandparents initiative as a social economy business. For the time being Adopt Grandparents has been launched in Spain
and Portugal and the plans of the company is to scale to global level. SME Instrument Phase-1 and Phase-2 will be
extremely beneficial in helping the company to accelerate development and market penetration of the solution in target
segments, boosting the company’s growth to 242 employees and € 23,017,094 revenues by 2024.

Studying interfacial dynamics by interferometric scattering

We propose to apply a cutting-edge optical microscopy based on interferometric scattering microscopy (iSCAT) to directly study the dynamics of the fundamental system of nanoparticles at fluid interfaces. Nanoparticles at interfaces are a central research topic in colloidal science. They have various technological applications, related to, for example, emulsification, optical devices, and chemical catalysis. In addition, nanoparticles at interfaces make an ideal experimental model system for investigating topics in condensed matter physics, such as the dynamics of partially confined fluids and the phase behavior of 2D fluids. While many experimental studies have characterized the self-assembly, structure, and motion of such particles, important questions relating to adsorption/desorption dynamics and inertial effects, remain unanswered due to technical limitations of temporal and spatial resolution. iSCAT offers exclusive accessibility to answer these questions, through unprecedented capabilities of nanoparticle tracking in three dimensions with simultaneous nanometre spatial and microsecond temporal precision. Specifically, we aim at achieving two objectives for the first time; (i) observing and quantifying inertial effects at fluid-fluid interfaces, and (ii) characterizing the three-dimensional interfacial behavior of nanoparticles at interfaces. Overall, these objectives aim at expanding and generalising interfacial microrheology to much shorter time-scales, as well as to provide critical insight to the mechanisms underlying particle stability and self-assembly at interfaces.

Consumer Operational Comfort Level based power demand management in the smart grid

In the smart grid, peak-load shifting allows smart homes to limit their peak hour demand to reduce electricity cost. By means of balancing the demand and supply, efficiency and stability are achieved in the power grid. While most existing Demand Response (DR) programs only use pricing signals to encourage consumers to alter their power consumption patterns, the impacts on consumers have been overlooked. In this paper, we propose a novel demand management scheme that takes into account of the consumer comfort level. We define the concept of Operational Comfort Level (OCL), and construct the OCL models for a range of smart appliances. These OCL models are integrated into our load management scheme. We develop a Min-Max Load Scheduling (MMLS) algorithm to minimize the peak-to-average ratio (PAR), while maximize the OCL of consumers. Simulation results confirm that our proposed MMLS algorithm is able to achieve both peak-load shifting and energy cost saving with minimal impact on consumers' comfort levels.
