Advanced Monitoring and Coordination of EU R&D Policies at Regional Level

EU R&D policies have an increasing impact on R&D systems and territorial cohesion, at European level and in the regions. However, regions only have a fragmented vision of the territorial impact of the earmarking of EU Regional Policy in the R&D field and of the results of EU programmes such as the FP6/FP7 and the CIP on their territories. As monitoring tools on these issues, they are using national or European general assessments and local empirical data. Despite being actors in the R&D field, regions are therefore lacking strategic knowledge for building better synergies between their policies and EU R&D ones. This project aims to equip the 9 regional actors with an accurate picture of their R&D systems, EU R&D Policy activity and its territorial impacts. This should provide these regional actors with the evidence needed to formulate and manage R&D policy more effectively. More broadly, the project will provide a harmonised methodology that other regions can use and suggest how data collection can be improved so that it contributes more effectively to the management of R&D policy and territorial cohesion initiatives.
Botsandus - first assistant robot for retail and hospitality

The retail and hospitality sectors have been facing an international increase both in terms of demand and sophistication. However, they are facing a series of issues. For instance, online is threatening retailers, traditional hotels and event attendance, which offer the advantage of convenience, advocacy and smart, real time insights/data. Also, customers have become immune to marketing across all channels. In this context, it is crucial for the companies from these sectors to offer memorable, fund and useful experiences, which is the key to encourage and multiply visits and sales. BotsAndUS intend to take advantage of this context by offering companies that rely on face to face customer interaction a state-of-the-art robot. It is capable to interact with people of various genders and ages, to autonomously approach and engage in conversation, as well as react to emotions, all to offer outstanding customer service. The market size for retail robots will reach 10 billion euros in 2025, the annual reduction in the cost of manufacturing robots able to interact with humans will drop by 26%, whereas there will be 3o times more interactions per day between humans and robots. BotsAndUs aim is to develop a consumer robot, able to autonomously approach and engage in conversation, react to emotions. Our company puts the user at the centre of Human-Robot-Interaction and develops an innovative technology by combining social sciences, human-centred design and cutting-edge engineering. Bo is the first robot that combines various technologies from the ICT sector to obtain a “social robot”, which will be able to optimally interact with customers by engaging in conversations and adapt to various working environments and feedback from people. To ensure successful commercialization, in Phase 1 of SME Instrument, BotsAndUSintends to develop an elaborate feasibility study for Bo robot commercialisation.
Decarbonising transport in europe

The International Transport Forum of the OECD proposes to carry out a project that will help stakeholders in the EU and beyond to mitigate carbon emissions from transport. With the engagement of stakeholders throughout the project, we will develop possible transport CO2 mitigation pathways that attain the EU’s CO2 reduction objectives and disseminate results to a large audience. 
The focus of the project will be on urban and international transport. Both passenger and freight transport activities will be considered and respective transport models, that allow building scenarios to the future, will be built and/or enhanced to allow for the assessment of transport CO2 mitigation measures. The scenarios that we will build will account for expected technological developments, economic trends, and possible behavioral changes. 
Stakeholders will be engaged from early on in the project, in order to obtain their inputs regarding available data and state-of-the art modelling techniques, as well as information on their policy priorities. Stakeholders will also be engaged in the scenario build phase to ensure that specific aspects of their interest are included/modeled. Stakeholders will also be invited to challenge model techniques and results in the course of the project.
Finally, an important component of this project is the dissemination of scenario modeling results and modeling techniques via dedicated events, workshops, reports and papers.
Drain plug structure for bath tub

A protrusion of the plug lid out of the bath tub bottom part is restricted to reduce a possibility in which the plug lid becomes a hindrance and a water-tightness at the plug is improved. The plug lid is dropped into the notch formed in such a way that the circumferential edge of the plug lid becomes lower than the bottom surface of the bath tub. The packing is closely contacted with the packing close-contact surface narrowed from the bottom surface of the notch in a downward direction. The bottom part of the notch is formed into the horizontal plane and the plug lid is supported while it is not inclined under application of weight (a hydraulic pressure or an artificial pressure applied by a user) and a non-required crushing force is prevented from being acted on the packing. The anti-vibrating member sliding on the outer circumferential surface of the supporting member for supporting the supporting shaft in such a way it can be moved up and down is mounted vertically at the plug lid to prevent the plug lid from being vibrated, and the foreign material mixing preventive cover having a length extending along an outer circumferential surface of the supporting member prevents the foreign material mixed in the drain water from being entered the supporting member for both cases of opening and closing of the drain port.

O trabalho consiste na simulação do desempenho térmico de uma edificação, considerando uma série histórica de Brasília em comparação a um arquivo de ano meteorológico típico (TMY) e o arquivo climático INMET utilizado na NBR15575. Esses arquivos são usados como dados de entrada para simulações termo energéticas de uma edificação unifamiliar com três diferentes envoltórias. Foi possível observar o aumento de temperaturas durante a série histórica, assim como o aumento de carga térmica de resfriamento e temperaturas operativas máximas em todos os casos. Notou-se uma divergência significativa entre os resultados encontrados da série histórica com os do arquivo climático INMET.
Spin currents and spontaneous magnetization at twin boundaries of noncentrosymmetric superconductors

Twin boundaries are generic crystalline defects in noncentrosymmetric crystal structures. We study theoretically twin boundaries in time-reversal symmetric noncentrosymmetric superconductors that admit parity-mixed Cooper pairing. Twin boundaries support spin currents as a consequence of this parity mixing. If the singlet and triplet components of the superconducting order parameter are of comparable magnitude, the superconducting state breaks spontaneously the bulk time-reversal symmetry locally near the twin boundary. By self-consistently evaluating the Bogoliubov-de-Gennes equations and the gap functions we find two distinct phases: First, time-reversal symmetry breaking enhances the spin currents but does not lead to chiral supercurrents. A secondary phase transition then triggers a spin magnetization and an orbital supercurrent near the twin boundary.
Mediterranean governance for Strategic Maritime SurveIllance and Safety issues

As the MED Program aims to benefit from appropriate tools and mechanism to ease the implementation of better governance and thematic integration in the Mediterranean and contribute to shared operational plans on the overall area in key sectors of maritime surveillance, it is an enormous and challenging opportunity to seek for the demands among the National authorities carrying out Maritime Surveillance functions in the needs of operational infrastructure that cover marine spatial information obligations stemming from European Directives, initiatives and policies, in terms of maritime surveillance and safety.The proposal's objective is the development of a number of modules/applications regarding Maritime Surveillance activities and to facilitate information exchanges that will support the further development of a regional/local smart plug-in capability supporting interoperable, transnational sectoral systems, ensuring their regional, deployable and mobile interface, in order to Enhance in-situ Situational Awareness, wherever needed in the Mediterranean Sea and Atlantic approaches. It will explore the application of the current guidelines and capabilities of the ongoing evolution of the CISE data exchange model.It will carry pilot activities and capitalization actions to test,disseminate and distribute tools and protocols among partners either as being potential users but also as intermediaries to reach no participant entities.
A facet-factorial approach towards the development and validation of a jazz rhythm section performance rating scale

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable rating scale to assess jazz rhythm sections in the context of jazz big band performance. The research questions that guided this study included: (a) what central factors contribute to the assessment of a jazz rhythm section? (b) what items should be used to describe and assess a jazz rhythm section performance? (c) how should the items be categorized? (d) what differences among jazz rhythm sections exist at three performance achievement levels? and (e) what criteria best predict group membership into three performance achievement levels? Items were gathered from research and literature related to the assessment, teaching, and general discussions related to the jazz rhythm section. Twenty-nine item statements were paired with a four-point Likert scale. One hundred and twenty-two responses were gathered from 41 volunteer raters. The results of the data were factor analyzed and yielded a two-factor structure including rhythmic support/drive and style/clarity. The 16-item scale accounted for 79.23% of the variance and the alpha reliability was estimated at 0.986. The rhythmic support/drive factor contributed most to discriminating between overall group differences. More specifically, five out of the 16 items contributed most to discriminating between groups.
Investigation of stabilizer material properties used with REBCO coated conductor tapes for the application in a 20 kA High Temperature Superconductor Current Lead

In almost all fusion and accelerator experiments presently in operation or under construction, current leads (CLs), which feed the magnets, use high-temperature superconducting (HTS) materials to reduce the total cooling power consumption of the He refrigerator. These CLs carry currents in the range of 10–68 kA. The Karlsruhe Institute of Technology successfully designed, built, and tested the 70-kA demonstrator CL for the ITER magnets, which was subsequently followed by the 18.2-kA HTS CLs for the Wendelstein 7-X stellarator and the 20-kA and 26-kA HTS CLs for the JT-60SA tokamak. All these CLs use the first-generation HTS material BSCCO. The HTS part of the CL is now the focus of a new development aiming at a substitution of BSCCO by the next-generation HTS material RE BCO. To limit the heat load to the cryostat, the stabilizer material of the RE BCO coated tapes requires a low thermal conductivity. In addition, stabilizers with a sufficiently high electrical conductivity are mandatory in order to protect the CL in case of a quench of the RE BCO tapes. A part of this new development is therefore a detailed material property investigation of RE BCO coated conductor single tapes with a low thermal conductivity, in order to define a suitable conductor for a 20-kA CL and to create a database for the subsequent technical optimization process. This paper summarizes the measurement results of the thermal conductivity, electric resistivity, and specific heat capacity for RE BCO single tapes with a low heat leakage. The results are analyzed with regard to earlier investigations of the BSCCO tapes used in the Wendelstein CLs serving as a reference for a future RE BCO CL.
Sex in malaria parasites – from basic biology to targets for transmission blocking interventions.

Sexual development in malaria parasites is critical for disease transmission between infected individuals, and is therefore a major target for the malaria elimination agenda. However, there are currently no effective drugs or vaccines that block parasite transmission to mosquitoes, and we currently do not understand the molecular mechanisms involved. This is primarily because Plasmodium genetics has been slow, with the majority of the genome unexplored. I here propose to conduct the first genome-scale screen for male and/or female fertility genes by leveraging a game-changing genetic system we have developed and recently validated through the first genome-scale in vivo gene KO screen in any parasite. Using simultaneous phenotyping of barcoded mutants, we will conduct the first genome-scale screen for male and/or female fertility genes. My team will systematically map specific biological roles for hundreds of parasite genes, ranging from sex determination to zygote differentiation. We will also overcome the next hurdle in Plasmodium genetics by developing a method for massive parallel phenotyping, using the power of single cell transcriptomics to validate the screen and reveal molecular mechanisms at previously intractable points in the Plasmodium life cycle. This approach has clear translational implications, as it will identify both drug and vaccine candidates. This proposal builds firmly on my outstanding track records in delivering large reverse genetics projects and making ground-breaking discoveries in Plasmodium transmission biology. Its unprecedented breadth and depth will mark a turning point in how gene functions are studied in this important model parasite. I am relocating from the UK to Umeå University, a centre of excellence for pathogen research and innovative genetics, so retaining this important research in the EU of 27 will depend critically on ERC funding.
Two dimensional immersed boundary simulations of swimming jellyfish

The swimming behavior of jellyfish, driven by the periodic contraction of body muscles,can be modeled using a two dimensional bell-shaped membrane immersed in fluid with aperiodic contraction force exerted along the membrane. We aim to use a simple two dimensional elastic membrane to simulate the swimming behavior without imposing any given membrane configuration, in which the swimming behavior is driven naturally by the interaction between the elastic membrane and fluid and solved by the immersed boundary (IB) method. We begin by describing our implementation of stretching and bending forces in the IB formulation, and then study the relative importance of the stretching and bending forces for an idealized closed membrane. We then develop a two dimensional model of a jellyfish whose bell resists any deformation from a given target shape. The swimming dynamics are driven by a muscle contraction force that is fit to experimental data. Numerical simulations demonstrate an emergent swimming behavior that is consistent with experimentally observed jellyfish.
BLOOD- AND/OR BODY FLUID-ABSORBING HYDROGEL

The invention provides a hydrogel, having a floating behaviour, wherein 40 to 90% of a solution and/or suspension to be thickened is thickened from the fluid surface and the rest of said solution and/or suspension to be thickened is thickened from the container bottom. Said invention also relates to a method for producing the hydrogel and the use thereof for absorbing blood and/or body fluids, in particular, in hygienic articles, or for thickening aqueous solutions and/or suspensions, in particular, for thickening medical waste.
Effects of Large Retarder Overdose on Concrete Strength Development

Retarders are used to delay the setting time of concrete. Retarder overdosing is not an uncommon problem, but its effects are not well understood. In this study, laboratory tests were conducted to determine the effect of retarder overdosing on the setting time and strength of concrete, using both cubes, and cores from a large specimen. It was found that overdose levels of 3 times the normal dosage had little effect on setting and strength development. Also, concrete with even 6 times the normal dosage of retarder did eventually set and gain strength. Tests were also conducted to determine cement setting time under different temperature and surface drying (wind) conditions, in order to make inferences regarding strength development of concrete surfaces compared to interiors.
Spatiotemporal regulation of t-cell priming

The initiation of adaptive cellular immunity requires antigen-specific interactions between Dendritic cells (DC) and naive CD8 T cells in secondary lymphoid organs. We aim to understand how the dynamic migratory behavior of myeloid and lymphoid cells is coordinated to ensure that “the right cells” communicate at “the right time” in “the right place” to enable robust immune responses. Using intravital microscopy, we have recently identified a critical phase (“Step 2”) of T cell priming that follows the initial encounter of DC and CD8 T cells and is essential to develop protective immunity.

The aim of this proposal is to identify the cellular and molecular mechanisms regulating T cell differentiation during Step 2. We will employ a newly developed imaging method (“Net-Vis”) to investigate how key elements of Step 2 (XCR1 DC) receive antigenic and inflammatory “information” within a network of myeloid cells. Next, we will test a novel model of T cell priming in which stepwise relocalization to multicellular clusters within the LN orchestrates T cell differentiation. Combining deep-tissue intravital microscopy, “Niche-seq” and novel genetic approaches, we will identify the cellular players and molecules guiding these processes and test their mechanistic implications. Finally, we will investigate the identity and mechanisms of Foxp3+ T cells that co-regulate CD8 T cell activation and differentiation during Step 2. 

In summary, we will exploit an array of innovative imaging, spatiotemporal transcriptomics and genetic approaches to investigate novel fundamental aspects of CD8 T cell priming during a newly discovered distinct phase of T cell activation and differentiation. Investigating the mechanisms that guide these central steps in adaptive immunity is anticipated to reveal new avenues for the therapeutic manipulation of immune responses against infection and cancer.
INSURANCE INCLUSION, TIME PREFERENCE AND STOCK INVESTMENT OF THE CHINESE HOUSEHOLDS

Using the China Household Finance Survey data in 2011, the estimation results of structural equation modeling demonstrate that the respondents with higher time preference rate have a significant higher probability of investing in stocks, which implies that the short-term households will prefer stock investment. The social insurance programs and insurance policies held by the family will have a significantly direct positive effect in promoting stock investment and also a significantly direct positive effect on the respondent’s time preference, which could further indirectly increase the family’s stock investment. These results show that the safety-net built by the Chinese government, including the social security and commercial insurance, is very likely to attract more short-term investors into the stock market. These empirical results provide new evidences to explain the extreme volatility of Chinese stock market and also testify the policy effect of building an environment for people to possess property income in China.
L’évolution paléogéographique pré-Varisque de la Zone Cantabrique septentrionale (Espagne).

Cette communication propose une mise a jour des donn&eacute;es g&eacute;ologiques r&eacute;centes concernant la Zone Cantabrique (ZC) au regard de l'analyse pal&eacute;og&eacute;ographique. La ZC est l'avant-pays du Massif lb&eacute;rique d&eacute;form&eacute; au Carbonifere. Les structures hercyniennes de la Zone dessinent une bande arqu&eacute;e: I' Are Asturien (AA) qui est, en fait, la charniere interne de l'Arc Ib&eacute;ro-armoricain. Les renseignements s&eacute;dimentologiques signalent l'existence, au cours du Pal&eacute;ozo"ique pr&eacute;-Carboni.fere, d'une aire &eacute;merg&eacute;e, a relief variable, vers le noyau de l'AA. L'onde orog&eacute;nique hercynienne venant de l'Ouest a remplac&eacute; de ce c&oacute;t&eacute;-la la r&eacute;gion d'origine des s&eacute;diments des le D&eacute;vonien sup&eacute;rieur. Plusieurs discontinuit&eacute;s jalonnent la s&eacute;rie stratigraphique. Pourtant la concordance entre les formations est conserv&eacute;e ce qui indiquerait que l'activit&eacute; tectonique pr&eacute;-varisque s'est born&eacute;e a des mouvements &eacute;pirog&eacute;niques verticaux, parfois accompagn&eacute;s de faibles basculements. Du Cambrien a l'Ordovicien sup&eacute;rieur, les faunes ont un cachet "m&eacute;diterran&eacute;en" nord-gondwanien mais offrent certains rapports avec les r&eacute;gions nord-europ&eacute;ennes. Les donn&eacute;es pal&eacute;omagn&eacute;tiques indiquant la d&eacute;rive du Gondwana vers des latitudes froides ne collent pas avec l'instal.lation d'une plate-forme carbonat&eacute;e dans des conditions d'aridit&eacute; a la limite Cambrien inf&eacute;rieur-moyen.
