Support, monitoring and reminder technology for mild dementia

As Europe’s population is ageing, long-term care for elderly citizens will become an increasing cost for society. To manage this transition healthcare policies in the EU and individual Member States are heavily focussed on extending the independent life of the elderly, with the dual aim of increasing their quality of life and reducing the costs of care. Dementia affects more than 6% of people aged 60+ and has a devastating effect on their independence – to date, there is no proven intervention to help dementia patients live a fulfilling life for longer.

In this project we will build on an innovative patient support tool to develop a mHealth application that is specifically targeted to patients with mild dementia. The tool will help patients to adhere to their treatment and share data with their carers and doctors; carers will use the same application to monitor patients more easily and share their own well-being with doctors. This will slow the patients’ cognitive and functional decline, avoid carers getting exhausted and reduce costs of emergency care.

Our project will comprise two phases: first we will use digital accessibility tools to re-design the existing application for dementia patients. The development will be steered by patients, carers and doctors, through user-centric design: we will collect feedback on each new version of the application until the design is perfectly adapted to the users’ needs. In the second phase we will pilot the optimised application with 1,100 users (patients + carers) and 1,100 controls. This will show the clinical and social benefits for patients and carers, as well as financial benefits for the healthcare system.

Successful delivery of the pilot will increase patients’ adherence to treatment (10 %-points), while improving the quality of life of carers and patients. It will save healthcare providers €1,818 / patient / year in care costs and will generate revenue of over €18 million / year for the consortium (Year 5).

REMOVING HEAVY METALS FROM RICE PROTEIN MATERIAL

Rice protein concentrate precursor is combined with a chelating agent in an aqueous environment to provide a mixture of rice protein, water and chelating agent. The mixture, in certain embodiments, is maintained in a vessel at conditions sufficient for at least a portion of any heavy metal contaminants to be separated from the rice protein concentrate precursor and chelated. The resulting heavy metal chelate is separated from the rice protein to provide a rice protein concentrate having a reduced content of heavy metals.
Quantum devices in topological matter: carbon nanotubes, graphene, and novel superfluids

The project addresses quantum devices in hybrid systems formed using carbon nanotubes, graphene, and 3He superfluid, all with particular topological characteristics. Topological properties of these non-trivial materials can be drastically modified by introducing defects or interfaces into them, like single layer graphene into superfluid helium, boron nitride between graphene sheets, carbon nanotubes in 3He superfluid, or misfit dislocation layers into HOPG graphite. 

We are particularly interested in graphene/3He systems where graphene acts as an interface/substrate of interacting atomic ensembles. The atomic interactions across graphene are expected to provide novel mesoscopic condensates. By studying the topological phases of thin 3He layers and graphene immersed into superfluid 3He, we will investigate pairing across the graphene interface, deduce the origin of supercurrents, and look for excitonic superfluidity in these systems.

Single walled carbon nanotubes provide high-quality nanomechanical resonators with extraordinary properties. By using proximity-induced superconductivity, these objects will be integrated into circuit optomechanics in a way that facilitates strong coupling between the mechanical motion and the microwave cavity. By using adiabatic nuclear refrigeration, these non-linear quantum objects will be cooled below 1 mK, at the temperature of which the quantum ground state is reached. The cooling relies on immersion of the SWNT into superfluid 3He which, in the limit T -> 0, provides a quantum vacuum with unique topological properties. Intriguingly, the characteristics of this vacuum can be probed by ultrasensitive detectors provided by the suspended SWNTs.

Finally, besides non-classical phonon states, e.g. Fock states in the mechanical resonator, reaching the ground state of such an anharmonic oscillator will allow studies of quantum tunnelling of a macroscopic object from its metastable minimum when biased with a large gate voltage.

Multifunctional spin crossover materials

This project deals with an exchange programme of seven research teams with the aim to establish and consolidate a network for the design of innovative multifunctional materials based upon iron(II) spin crossover complexes: their synthesis, magnetic and spectroscopic studies, investigations on their crystalline, liquid crystalline and morphological structures, pressure effects on spin crossover properties and, particularly, their implementation into pressure sensors. The synthetic part of this project aims to access novel types of crystalline and liquid crystalline spin crossover complexes, hybrid luminescent materials, photo-switchable liquid crystalline compounds, composites and nano-objects of original morphologies and transition characteristics. These switchable materials will become a matter of different experiments under pressure: magnetic and Mӧssbauer measurements under hydrostatic pressure and optical experiments in a gas pressure cell. This will allow to reach an important impact on the synthesis of new bistable materials, on their behaviour under pressure, and to make them an active part of different pressure sensors. The academic participants involved in this work have collaborated on joint projects and have co-authored several scientific papers. The two industrial institutions have a recognized expertise in organic and material synthesis, commercialization, as well possessing experience on elaboration of spin transition materials. The establishment of this joint exchange programme will promote and strengthen the complementarity of the participants and will stimulate cross-fertilization, thus forming an excellent centre of synergy in research, innovation and technology in the area of functional materials. This network offers a complete training in the synthesis and characterization of new spin crossover materials for various applications.

INTEGRATED PUMP FOR COMPRESSIBLE FLUIDS

A swash pump for compressible fluids uses sealing contacts made between the nutatable swash plate and the fixed cone plates to centre and locate the inner swash sphere which slides against two resiliently mounted ring seals only, minimising pump friction. A slanted end of a common drive shaft supporting and turned by the rotor of an integrated, variable speed motor causes nutation of the sphere. All bearings, especially axially slidable roller bearings inside the sphere, may settle in position with respect to the common shaft for least frictional loss. This pump is also adapted for pumping explosive gases.

What can Turkey learn from Argentina

Th is paper compares the experiences of Turkey and Argentina in the face of the recent global economic meltdown. Th e historical and economic peculiarities of these two countries render them as perfect comparative case study. Th ey both historically had acute macroeconomic instabilities with high infl ation rates and internal and external disequilibrium. In both countries volatility in economic growth rates (stop-and-go cycles) have been associated with current account and fi scal defi cits. Th ey both adopted a number of stabilization policies guided by the IMF which were all unsuccessful. Th ey both got into the new millennium with almost simultaneous (February 2001 in Turkey and December 2001 in Argentina) and the most severe economic crises in their histories. Th ey both have experienced very rapid growth rates since their economic crises. Economic recovery in Argentina has been in a better shape and more sustainable than Turkey. Although both countries will inevitably face the negative impacts of the global crisis, the impact is likely to be more severe for Turkey. JEL Classifi cation Code: E22, F3, G10, O16.
Data security model for Cloud Computing using V-GRT methodology

Cloud Computing becomes the next generation architecture of IT Enterprise. In contrast to traditional solutions, Cloud computing moves the application software and databases to the large data centers, where the management of the data and services may not be fully trustworthy. This unique feature, however, raises many new security challenges which have not been well understood. In cloud computing, both data and software are fully not contained on the user's computer; Data Security concerns arising because both user data and program are residing in Provider Premises. Clouds typically have single security architecture but have many customers with different demands. Every cloud provider solves this problem by encrypting the data by using encryption algorithms. But there are also chances that the cloud service is not trust worthy, to overcome this problem. This paper introduces a new model called V-GRT methodology which overcomes the basic problem of cloud computing data security. We present the data security model of cloud computing with security vendor that eliminates the fear of misuse of data by the cloud service provider thereby improving data security.

Towards middle-range theories of the co-evolutionary dynamics of multi-level social-ecological systems

Humans have the capacity to change the biosphere from local to global scales while at the same time fundamentally depending on a functioning biosphere for their well-being. Moreover human societies are increasingly affected by global change and adapting to it in multiple ways. These interdependencies give rise to non-linear, cross-scale dynamics that pose significant challenges for analysis and governance of social-ecological systems (SES). In view of the need for societal transformations towards sustainability is the identification of mechanisms of change in SES an urgent and cutting-edge research frontier.  This project aims to develop new methodologies and middle-range theories of the dynamics of SES. It will take the nature of SES as complex adaptive systems into account by developing a mechanism-based understanding of change in SES as it arises from micro-level interactions within complex networks of actors and ecosystems. Particular emphasis will be put on emergent and top-down cross-scale interactions.   
To this end we will develop dynamic multi-level models using agent-based and mathematical modeling approaches. Model development will be based on a typology of cross-scale interactions, theories from the natural and social sciences and empirical evidence from marine and terrestrial SES. We will combine stylized with empirically-based models and cross-case comparison to develop a typology of social-ecological configurations of the long-term persistence of SES and their capacity to change. Knowledge integration across disciplines and the development of integrative frameworks and approaches will be supported by procedures to bridge different ontological and epistemological foundations. The project will advance sustainability science by providing new methods for modeling multi-level SES and cross-scale interactions, and approaches to identify and include critical social-ecological interactions, particularly human adaptive responses, into models of SES.
