Energy Conservation through Solar Energy Assisted Dryer for Plastic Processing Industry

Abstract Consumption of plastics is directly linked with economic growth of plastic industry of respective country. India's plastics consumption is only about 2% of the world. Despite of proposed growth, higher cost of Energy requirement for processing are obstructing growth of plasticulture. Energy efficiency/conservation measures in plastic processing requires attention to harness alternate energy sources through technological modifications during material processing. This paper depicts practical solution for partial usage of non- conventional energy source; solar energy in conventional plastic process method. About3-5% of total energy required for processing is utilized for drying and precondition of material. Thus attempt is made to use solar energy for drying of Nylon-6 and polypropylene (PP) by designing natural convection based Solar Dryer. Drying of Nylon-6 is found to be in the falling rate period. Nylon-6 took nearly 6 hrs. (1days) to reach 0.15% moisture content value. Effective diffusivity is varied from 4 - 6.5 X 10-9cm2/sec. Temperature rise for PP material is achieved up to 70 °C in the dryer, hence preheating is achieved with same dryer design. Solar dryer can certainly reduce conventional energy consumption during plastic processing at industrial scale. Cost benefit analysis shows that adaptation of solar energy dryer for plastic process industry lead to economic production of plastic goods.
Mediterranean coastal resources: benefits and constraints for prehistoric hunters-gatherers

The Project “Mediterranean Coastal Resources: benefits and constraints for Prehistoric hunters-gatherers” aims to investigate how Mediterranean coastal ecosystems and climatic changes over the last 19,000 years have affected settlement and subsistence patterns during the Mesolithic-Neolithic transition. Studying past human adaptation in coastal zones is a key research topic to understand processes of economic intensification and human resilience to environmental change.

We propose to reconstruct the evolution of coastal landscapes around a well-known Mesolithic settlement area through the multi-proxy analysis of sediment cores of Pego lagoon (Gulf of Valencia, Spain). The objectives are: (a) the reconstruction of environmental changes through geomorphological, sedimentological and geochemical analysis and fossils of aquatic fauna in a well-constrain chronology, (b) the identification of vegetation cover changes through the analysis of pollen, spore and charcoal, which are linked to climatic change and human land-use,  (c) the reconstruction of the frequency of storm surge marine events using sedimentological analysis, and (d) the evaluation of ecosystems services and vulnerability to human pressures through a comparison of the inferred palaeoenvironmental dynamics with archaeological datasets from the same study area.

The hosting laboratory IPHES (University Rovira i Virgili, Spain) is the ideal institutional environment to develop the proposed research during the course of the fellowship and beyond. The researcher will be integrated within, and trained, in a strong collaborative and multidisciplinary network. This fellowship will reinforce the research experience, transferrable skills and audience and outreach of the candidate, and will thus be crucial for her future career.
A four-camera videogrammetric system for 3-D motion measurement of deformable object

Abstract A four-camera videogrammetric system with large field-of-view is proposed for 3-D motion measurement of deformable object. Four high-speed commercial-grade cameras are used for image acquisition. Based on close-range photogrammetry, an accurate calibration method is proposed and verified for calibrating the four cameras simultaneously, where a cross target as calibration patterns with feature points pasted on its two-sides is used. The key issues of the videogrammetric processes including feature point recognition and matching, 3-D coordinate and displacement reconstruction, and motion parameters calculation are discussed in detail. Camera calibration experiment indicates that the proposed calibration method, with a re-projection error less than 0.05 pixels, has a considerable accuracy. Accuracy evaluation experiments prove that the accuracy of the proposed system is up to 0.5 mm on length dynamic measurement within 5000 mm×5000 mm field-of-view. Motion measurement experiment on an automobile tire is conducted to validate performance of our system. The experimental results show that the proposed four-camera videogrammetric system is available and reliable for position, trajectory, displacement and speed measurement of deformable moving object.
Foothills itinerary (bicycle route)

The project envisages the creation of a bicycle track starting from Budoia and reaching the village of Montereale Valcellina, covering a distance of around twenty km. The project is part of a more complex plan that includes the future connection with Gemona del Friuli on the foothills of Udine. Gemona-Cividale del Friuli and Cividale del Friuli-Kobarid connections are also envisaged, while in the opposite direction Polcenigo and Caorle are going to be connected by a bicycle track: all these initiatives together will make it possible to connect the Slovenian territory with the Adriatic beaches. The bicycle track follows in general the existing railway line: a close interaction is therefore envisaged between the two means of transport, thus favouring possible interchanges at the railway stations that will also become key resting points along the bicycle track. Most of this itinerary resorts to existing roads, both paved roads to be used by residential traffic, and dirt tracks, where work is required in order to improve the road bed and to install proper signage, without increasing its section in order to maintain a close relationship between the bicycle track users and the surrounding territory. Infrastructural actions are limited to situations where user safety calls for specific technical arrangements, or to cases when required by the orography and morphology of the ground. This project intends to create a connection among architectural, cultural and environmental resources in the area, thus enhancing the tourist area at the foot of the hills near Pordenone in its entirety.

Deciphering the long-range modulation of neuronal networks in auditory-guided behavior learning

Interpretation of external stimuli is essential for us to interact properly with our environment. In this context, sound is a major sensory information that takes part in social interaction but also alerts of dangers. Auditory stimuli are integrated by stereotyped neuronal circuits where inhibitory neurons play a key regulatory role. These circuits can be modulated for example by learning which allow a better reaction in sensory-guided behaviors. It has been recently suggested that higher-order brain areas feedbacks onto primary sensory cortices are essential in these learning processes as they modulate primary sensory circuits. Yet, less is known about long-range circuits involved in learning processes which allows the animal to respond more precisely to auditory stimuli. 
The objectif of AudiLearn is to disentangle how higher-order brain areas influence auditory learning. My working hypothesis is that long-range modulation of auditory cortex neurons is reinforced during learning in order to increase their response accuracy. Therefore, AudiLearn aims at (i) identifying neuronal subpopulations of the primary auditory cortex that present changes of activity with learning using in-vivo electrophysiological recordings of neuronal activity in the auditory cortex and optogenetics during an auditory discrimination task in mice, (ii) detect long-range projections onto these neurons using rabies-virus based monosynaptic retrograde tracing and finally (iii) modulate these long-range presynaptic neurons with optogenetics to decipher their role in modulating sensory coding during the auditory learning process. 
This project will bring a novel insight in auditory coding by identifying long-range modulators of the primary auditory cortex. More generally, it will increase our understanding of the learning-processes that occur in sensory cortices which can be impaired in pathological conditions such as in tinnitus, autism or schizophrenia.
Comparing Twitter and Traditional Media Using Topic Models

AbstractTwitter as a new form of social media can potentially contain much useful information, but content analysis on Twitter has not been well studied. In particular, it is not clear whether as an information source Twitter can be simply regarded as a faster news feed that covers mostly the same information as traditional news media. In This paper we empirically compare the content of Twitter with a traditional news medium, New York Times, using unsupervised topic modeling. We use a Twitter-LDA model to discover topics from a representative sample of the entire Twitter. We then use text mining techniques to compare these Twitter topics with topics from New York Times, taking into consideration topic categories and types. We also study the relation between the proportions of opinionated tweets and retweets and topic categories and types. Our comparisons show interesting and useful findings for downstream IR or DM applications.KeywordsTwittermicrobloggingtopic modeling

The overall objective of the Project is to boost a single, coherent and collaborative Single Market that will be consisted of the
actors of European Union and third countries at regional level, aiming the competitiveness, integration, innovation and
internationalism of the SMEs in the regions of Europe. The acceleration of globalization, aided by the rapid development in
information and communication technologies, improved access facilities and innovation factors present opportunities and
challenges to small and medium sized enterprises. Participation into a Network and being the part of a single market can
give SMEs the opportunity to attain financial stability, increase productivity and opportunity to expand their markets.
Cooperation within a network of upstream and downstream partners can enhance a firm’s status, information flows and
learning possibilities, introduce new business practices and more advanced technology. On the other hand, SMEs’
involvement in a Network demands greater managerial and financial resources, the ability to meet international standards
and the protection of in house intellectual property. SMEs need support to meet these challenges. European Enterprise
Network will open a great path to SMEs in the region in support of business competitiveness and integration based on
“nowrong door” concept. Within the framework of EEN Project and at Horizon 2020 the project consortium will aim to result
that the majority of regional SME’s gain momentum from the point where there have low value internal dynamics to the point
where perform with added value international dynamics.
Brain-Inspired Information Technology

information is one of key concepts for the development of information technology in the next generation. Explosive progress of computer technology has been continuing based on a simple principle called if-then rule. This means that the programmer of software have to direct every action of the computer programs in response to various inputs. There inherently is a limitation of complexity because we human have a limited capacity for managing complex systems. Actually, many bugs, mistakes of programming, exist in computer software, and it is quite difficult to extinguish them. The parts of computer programs where computer viruses attack are also a kind of programming mistakes, called security hole. Of course, human body or nervous system is not perfect. No creator or director, however, exists for us. The function of our brain is equipped by learning, self-organization, natural selection, and etc, resulting in adaptive and flexible information system. Brain-inspired information technology is aiming to realize such nature-made information processing system by using present computer system or specific hardware. To do so, researchers in various research fields are getting together to inspire each other and challenge cooperatively for the same goal.
Impacts of environmental factors and human disturbance on composition of roadside vegetation in Xishuangbanna National Nature Reserve of Southwest China

Abstract Vegetation-disturbance-environment relationships in Xishuangbanna Nature Reserve (XNR) was examined using multivariate analysis to understand the impacts of environmental factors and human disturbance on vegetation along the highway corridor. The results show that native forests were the best habitat for protected/endangered species and native species. The exotic plants Eupatorium odoratum and Eupatorium adenophora were found primarily in secondary forests and their presence was positively associated with altitude and soil potassium concentrations. The distribution of two protected plants, Phoebe nanmu and Pometia tomentosa , was negatively associated with road disturbance. Understanding the complex effects of environmental factors and human disturbance is key for developing conservation and restoration strategies for roadside plant ecosystems.

Intracranial atherosclerotic disease associated with moyamoya collateral formation: histopathological findings

Atherosclerotic disease has been suspected as a cause of moyamoya disease in some patients but has not, to the authors' knowledge, been confirmed by pathological studies. The authors present the histopathological findings in a patient with moyamoya collateral formation associated with atherosclerotic occlusive disease of the distal internal carotid artery (ICA). Typical atheromatous changes were evident in the distal ICA and proximal middle cerebral artery. In addition, intimal thickening, fibrosis, and abnormal internal elastic lamina were present in these vessels. These findings are common in moyamoya but not in atherosclerotic disease. Proliferation and enlargement of the lenticulostriate arteries in the basal ganglia was also identified. Moyamoya phenomenon secondary to atherosclerotic disease has similar histopathological features to idiopathic moyamoya phenomenon, both in the affected large basal arteries and lenticulostriate collaterals. These findings support the hypothesis advanced by Peerless that moyamoya is a 2-step process involving an obliterative vasculopathy of the terminal ICA and a secondary proliferative response.
