Promotion of green maritime technologies and new materials to enhance sustainable shipbuilding in Adriatic Ionian Region

The maritime industry has always been a key economic sector in Adriatic Ionian Region, providing thousands of high skilled jobs and opportunities for SMEs and larger enterprises such as shipyards._x000D_
These days the shipbuilding industry in Europe faces fierce competition coming mainly from Turkey, S. Korea and China, where shipbuilding capacity has grown exponentially. Ship construction has also been deeply affected by the lack of effective trade rules at global level and the absence of investment initiatives. The collapse in demand since 2008 had a severe impact on employment in this sector as well._x000D_
_x000D_
NEORION aims at establishing a transnational Cluster in the Adriatic-Ionian on Green Shipbuilding that will accelerate both the cooperation of key actors & innovation in the industry. NEORION is expected to reinforce the traditional shipbuilding sector through coordinated efforts that will facilitate the exploitation of innovative technologies and technology transfer between new complementary markets such as new materials & specialized vessels._x000D_
_x000D_
As main outputs, the project aims at enhancing the innovation capacity of the sector, creating a sustainable shipbuilding ADRION cluster, developing tools to favor the cooperation of SMEs with research institutions and provide action plans to both foster economic growth of the sector and benefit the regional business ecosystem, through actions targeted to and initiated by representatives of the Quadruple Helix._x000D_
_x000D_
NEORION aims at exploiting joint assets of the participating countries to eventually create a transnational innovation system for Green Shipbuilding. We argue that since Shipbuilding constitutes a major sector of EU’s Blue Growth Strategy, transnational cooperation is needed to boost the performance & accelerate the EU market towards new & innovative ones. Expected impact is the creation of an ADRION Cluster that will maximize growth potential, synergies & the diversification of the Shipbuilding market.
From Industrial Use to Creative Impulse


The challenge of globalisation caused a worldwide structural transformation. Global processes had lead to the shifting from an industrial to service oriented society. Hence, deindustrialisation had a great impact on districts with industrial sites and thus were catalyst for the need of the revitalisation of those sites. SECOND CHANCE undertakes the task to foster the regeneration of five brownfield sites in Nuremberg, Venice, Krakow, Ljubljana and Leipzig through the integration & promotion of cultural activities._x000D_
_x000D_
The development of the post-industrial sites through economic activities is very difficult as those buildings are mostly oversized and the specific constitution of those objects and the distance to the city centre complicate economic developments even more. Therefore, the only chance for further use is the revitalisation through cultural activities. Flexibility of the utilisation of the available resources and a permanent request of premises for cultural presentation meet the demands of artists. Furthermore, culture became an important economic sector and hence, is a very attractive form of utilisation._x000D_
_x000D_
Aim of SECOND CHANCE is the maintenance of the five historic monuments of the target cities with cultural revitalisation measures to improve their sustainability. Moreover, the transfer of innovative revitalisation strategies and concepts into relevant policies will upgrade the brownfield sites to a key cultural linchpin of the cities district.

Project of integrated research actions for the technical and management modernization of the firms operating in the wine sector of the DOC (registered designation of origin) Lison Pramaggiore (VE) area, and for the qualitati

This project carries out technical-commercial research to develop the entrepreneurial activities in the wine sector in order to meet the companies’ competitiveness needs; special attention is paid to the Lison Pramaggiore territory. This research aims at detecting the types of cattle-breeding, production and management techniques that make it possible to improve profitability, both by controlling costs and through the qualitative-quantitative enhancement of production. A specific stage of research will deal with finding a solution to the problem - extremely significant for the area - deriving from the forthcoming compulsory abandonment of Tocai designation. The project confers priority to the enhancement of human resources, since it focuses on vine-growing/wine-making companies - mostly small or medium size firms - where the entrepreneur plays a key role. The broad spread of the project and its evolution translate into the transfer of knowledge to the largest number of operators and into the promotion of the territory and its typical production. The consolidation of productive processes, competitiveness and profitability of firms will take place by controlling production costs, improving the quality of production, safeguarding and enhancing the environment. A technical-economic study will be carried out in order to summarize the results of the research, so that it will be possible to spread and transfer such results in similar wine-making areas and to export the activity carried out.
Development of a cost effective and reliable hydrogen fuel cell vehicle refuelling system

H2Ref addresses the compression and buffering function for the refuelling of 70 MPa passenger vehicles and encompasses all the necessary activities for advancing a novel hydraulics-based compression and buffering system that is very cost effective and reliable from TRL 3 (experimentally proven concept) to TRL 6 (technology demonstrated in relevant environment), thereby proving highly improved performance and reliability in accordance with the following targets that have been defined considering the intrinsic characteristics of this new solution:
- Throughput: 70 MPa dispensing capacity of 6 to 15 vehicles per hour (i.e. 30 to 75 kg/hr) - depending on the inventory level in source storage of the compressed hydrogen - with a 75 kW power supply;
- Robustness and Reliability: 10 years of operation without significant preventive maintenance requirement, demonstrated through intensive lab test simulating 20 refuellings per day during 10 years, i.e. 72,000 refuellings;
- CAPEX:  Manufacturing cost of 300 k€ for the compression and buffering module (CBM) assuming serial production (50 systems/yr). This level of cost for the CBM allows to target a cost of 450 k€ for the complete HRS (including pre-cooling and dispensing), assuming application of the optimized approaches for pre-cooling and dispensing control being developed in the HyTransfer project, far below the current HRS cost of approximately 900 k€;
- Energy efficiency: average consumption for compression below 1.5 kWh/kg of dispensed hydrogen, i.e. 50% below the energy consumption of current systems, in fuelling stations supplied by trailers, which is and will likely remain the most common form of supply.
The knowledge gained will allow subsequent development to focus on optimization of components, of design for manufacturing and maintenance, further demonstration, and the development of a product range for different refuelling station sizes, thus taking this innovation to the market.

Novel cooling system for the cryogen-free, continuous, and fully-automatic generation of very low temperatures near absolute zero.

Low temperatures close to absolute zero (0 degrees Kelvin) are required for materials science, detectors for the aerospace and military sector, quantum computing, and quantum electronics. These temperatures are commonly achieved by using cryogenic liquefied gases (cryogens), such as liquid helium (He). However, there are a numbers of problems related to the use of these cryogens which include the oligopoly of He-3, high costs of cooling machines (€ 300-600k), and safety problems.
To solve these pains, kiutra has developed a cryogen-free, continuous, and fully automatic refrigeration system based on a cryogenic magnetic cooling process known as Continuous Adiabatic Demagnetization Refrigeration (CADR). CADR uses widely available and low-price cooling media, saving € 20-40k/year in comparison with typical refrigeration systems that use He-3. Moreover, the system has a complete modular and customizable design, as it can be extended with multiple units according to the cooling requirements. It also offers a wide and stable temperature range while being easy to operate and hazard-free, thanks to the elimination of cryogens.
kiutra, founded in 2018 in Germany, builds easy-access turn-key refrigeration solutions. Their cooling devices combine magnetic refrigeration and closed-cycle pre-cooling to provide cryogenic temperatures without cryogens. kiutra is currently funded by “EXIST Transfer of Research”, and has raised almost € 2M to date. The proposed work in Phase 1 of the SME instrument fits into their overall plan to reach market by contributing to the financial resources needed to further improve and test CADR system, and ensure market uptake.
The brain behind the scenes − Neurobiological background of exploration geophysics

In this paper, I introduce the neurobiological background of four crucial aspects of human cognition linked with geophysics:imaging, integration, pattern recognition and exploration. Following the most recent results obtained in neurobiological research, I will try to bridge the activity of our geoscientists with fundamental concepts of cognitive sciences. These are the ability of the human brain to produce mental images, perform selection and pattern recognition and integrate multi-sensory information. Moreover, I suggest that geophysics is not exclusively a rational activity. In fact, following the most advanced neurobiological theories, I suppose that exploration geophysics istriggered by specific neural systems located in primordial areas of the subcortical brain. These areas are responsible for the basic emotions of all mammalians, such as those driving the exploration of their environment. Finally, I suggest possible research directions for improving brain performances in the
practice of geosciences. My approach is supported by the modern concept of ‘neuroplasticity’. This idea assumes that, even into adulthood, experience can significantly change both the brain’s physical structure (anatomy) and functional organization (physiology). I introduce the work hypothesis that the idea of brain empowerment can be applied in the geophysical and geological work, with many practical implications.

Cross-border cooperation for sustainable development and tourism, trough valorization of rural cultural heritage and conservation of natural asset of areas with ancient olive groves

The project will contribute to promote sustainable tourism activities and to conserve and protect natural resources in areas with ancient olive trees and to recover awareness of local populations on their own cultural heritage linked to traditional oliviculture, by activating a process of setting local strategies of development. The Mediterranean landscape is characterized by the presence of olive groves (AOOs), part of the ancient agricultural tradition and of the social environment; this is clearly true for Albania and Montenegro as for Apulia and Molise, where AOOs play an important ecological role and are one of the important drivers of the Programme Area economy, in terms of absolute value, Gross Value Added (GVA) and employment. The project assists communities living in pilot areas in the countries, to value their surroundings by producing Parish Maps and displaying them in prominent places to promote tourism by creating a proper offer to tourists. Valorization of territories is only possible by involving local stakeholders (SHs) and by stimulating their commitment in this issue; Innovative participatory workshops entailing participatory active learning by the exchanging of expert and lay/tacit knowledge are organized in the 3 countries, to raise awareness on opportunities coming from tourism, environmental assets, local cultural heritage and transfer knowledge and share know-how, enabling the SHs to carry on local and wider contexts’ initiatives. Results are: 3 Local maps reporting AOOs and other issues of interest (in AL, ME, Molise); Cross border Best practices for conservation of AOOs landscape; local resource and community maps (3 for AL, 2 for ME, 1 for Molise);local development plans (3 AL, 2 ME, 1 Molise); 1 COMMON RESOURCE MAP and 1 CROSS BORDER SMART SUSTAINABLE TOURIST PLAN FOR AOOs of AL, ME, IT. With participatory workshops SHs and public officers- share common rules for future local planning, improving their long-term sustainability.
Advances on human milk hormones and protection against obesity.

Extensive research shows that breast milk could have positive health effects not limited to infancy, but extend into childhood and adulthood. Recently many studies have provided new evidence on the long&mdash;term positive effects of breastfeeding, in particular protection against obesity and type 2 diabetes, suggesting that breast milk may have a role in the programming of later metabolic diseases. The mechanism throughout breastfeeding that exerts these effects has been a major focus of interest for researchers and it is still not completely known. There are some hints for biological plausibility of beneficial effects of breastfeeding including macronutrient intake, hormonal and behavioural mechanisms related to breast milk composition. Breast milk biochemical components, such as protein quantity and quality, polyunsaturated fatty acids, oligosaccharides, cytokines and hormones, in particular leptin, adiponectin and resistin together with the breastfeeding practice itself can influence infants feeding behaviour and regulation of growth and appetite control later in life. Further research is needed to confirm the possibility that hormones present in breast milk exert a metabolic and beneficial effects.

Geochemical origin of hydrothermal fluid methane in sediment-associated fields and its relevance to the geographical distribution of whole hydrothermal circulation

Abstract We investigated the chemical composition of hydrothermal fluids and deduced the origin of hydrothermal fluid methane in a sediment-associated Minami-Ensei (ME) hydrothermal field, the Okinawa Trough. The endmember hydrothermal fluid of the ME field contained isotopically 13 C-enriched methane (− 26.0 to − 24.7‰), which suggested a thermogenic origin. However, the observed methane-dominating hydrocarbon compositions (C 1 /C 2+  > 10 3 ) suggested that biogenic methane, not thermogenic hydrocarbons, is predominant. The conflict between these geochemical indications can be resolved by the hypothesis that the thermal reaction of sedimentary organic matter initially generates the primary source of hydrocarbons and the secondary thermal decomposition of hydrocarbons increases the C 1 /C 2+ ratio as high as that of biogenic methane. The low molecular hydrogen concentration (0.04 mmol/kg) in the ME fluid suggests that the thermal fluid–sediment interaction occurred in the recharge stage, not the discharge stage, of hydrothermal circulation. Less biogenic methane in the ME fluid implies a laterally shrunken hydrothermal fluid circulation that reduced biogenic methane incorporation at the recharge stage. A comparison of hydrothermal fluid chemistry and geological/geographical settings among the global sediment-associated hydrothermal systems also suggests representative patterns in the geochemical origins of hydrothermal fluid methane and their relevance to hydrothermal fluid circulation as a whole.
Dynamics of symbiont populations in the facultativechemosymbioses of thyasirid bivalves

Within the family Thyasiridae, symbioses between hosts and sulphur-oxidizing bacteria are not present in all species. Bacteria that associate with thyasirids are extracellular, digested by host cells, and presumed to be facultatively symbiotic. Here, the dynamic and unstable nature of thyasirid-symbiont associations is characterized. We first describe a Thyasira cf. gouldi cryptic species complex in which some species possess symbionts, while others have lost them. Within symbiotic T. cf. gouldi species, both symbiont abundance and the nutritional importance of symbiont-derived nutrients fluctuate over yearly cycles. T. cf. gouldi symbionts are environmentally acquired, and association with host bivalves appears to result in the loss of both flagella and magnetosome chains. Finally, we show that hosts may control symbiont populations by mediating their access to reduced sulphur: exposing thyasirids to a constant source of reduced sulphur results in increased bacterial division which can result in host cell overgrowth and host mortality.
