20 years of ClO measurements in the Antarctic lower stratosphere

Abstract. We present 20 years (1996–2015) of austral springtime measurements of chlorine monoxide (ClO) over Antarctica from the Chlorine Oxide Experiment (ChlOE1) ground-based millimeter wave spectrometer at Scott Base, Antarctica, as well 12 years (2004–2015) of ClO measurements from the Aura Microwave Limb Sounder (MLS). From August onwards we observe a strong increase in lower stratospheric ClO, with a peak column amount usually occurring in early September. From mid-September onwards we observe a strong decrease in ClO. In order to study interannual differences, we focus on a 3-week period from 28 August to 17 September for each year and compare the average column ClO anomalies. These column ClO anomalies are shown to be highly correlated with the average ozone mass deficit for September and October of each year. We also show that anomalies in column ClO are strongly anti-correlated with 30 hPa temperature anomalies, both on a daily and an interannual timescale. Making use of this anti-correlation we calculate the linear dependence of the interannual variations in column ClO on interannual variations in temperature. By making use of this relationship, we can better estimate the underlying trend in the total chlorine (Cly = HCl + ClONO2 + HOCl + 2 × Cl2 + 2 × Cl2O2 + ClO + Cl). The resultant trends in Cly, which determine the long-term trend in ClO, are estimated to be −0.5 ± 0.2, −1.4 ± 0.9, and −0.6 ± 0.4 % year−1, for zonal MLS, Scott Base MLS (both 2004–2015), and ChlOE (1996–2015) respectively. These trends are within 1σ of trends in stratospheric Cly previously found at other latitudes. The decrease in ClO is consistent with the trend expected from regulations enacted under the Montreal Protocol.
Coulomb and nuclear effects in breakup and reaction cross sections

We use a three-body Continuum Discretized Coupled Channel (CDCC) model to investigate Coulomb and nuclear effects in breakup and reaction cross sections. The breakup of the projectile is simulated by a finite number of square integrable wave functions. First we show that the scattering matrices can be split in a nuclear term, and in a Coulomb term. This decomposition is based on the Lippmann-Schwinger equation, and requires the scattering wave functions. We present two different methods to separate both effects. Then, we apply this separation to breakup and reaction cross sections of 7Li + 208Pb. For breakup, we investigate various aspects, such as the role of the alpha + t continuum, the angular-momentum distribution, and the balance between Coulomb and nuclear effects. We show that there is a large ambiguity in defining the 'Coulomb' and 'nuclear' breakup cross sections, since both techniques, although providing the same total breakup cross sections, strongly differ for the individual components. We suggest a third method which could be efficiently used to address convergence problems at large angular momentum. For reaction cross sections, interference effects are smaller, and the nuclear contribution is dominant above the Coulomb barrier. We also draw attention on different definitions of the reaction cross section which exist in the literature, and which may induce small, but significant, differences in the numerical values.
Sustainable ecosystem for the adoption, ramp-up and transfer of emerging electronics solutions

Despite significant recent progress made by the EU industry, the level of digitalisation of industry remains uneven, depending on the sector, country and company size. Facing at the same time a scattered landscape of Research, Industry and Institutional stakeholders, the efficient adoption and transformation of enabling technologies into business visions & concrete market cases remain limited. This slow diffusion of digital technologies poses a risk to the EU’s ability to compete in the global economy. This is particularly true for Organic Large Area Electronics (OLAE) enabling technologies whose industry made significant progress recently and has established itself as a competitive growth industry. Despite proving that more and more products have matured onto the global market, the actual diffusion and efficient adoption of OLAE technologies remain limited. Underlying reasons and key challenges are identified (cost, processes, encapsulation, scalability, yield, standards & regulations), for which major breakthroughs are needed on use, production and cost rather than on basic technology, which reflects the growing market orientation of OLAE. To address both market & technology specific challenges, SmartEEs2 will be key role to link technology promises with real use/business cases. These cases will be implemented through a unique digitalisation experience providing experimentation, testing or support to manufacturing. SmartEEs2 will capitalize upon SmartEEs’ strong technological OLAE platform and focuss on the uptake of Flexible & Wearable Electronics enabling use cases, where OLAE can valorize its uniqueness (flexibility, conformability) and its promises for solutions in the fast growing business of wearables and Internet of Everything. SmartEEs2 will orchestrate a pan-EU collaboration network of Regional DIHs promoting the best quality level of digitalisation experience, hence boosting the efficiency and effectiveness of the overall OLAE European inDIH on Area3

Beyond epica oldest ice core: 1,5 myr of greenhouse gas – climate feedbacks

To better constrain the long-term response of Earth's climate system to continuing greenhouse gas emissions, it is essential to turn to the past. A key advance would be to understand the shift in Earth's climate response to orbital forcing during the 'Mid-Pleistocene transition' [MPT, 900,000 (900 kyr) to 1.2 million years (1.2 Myr) ago], when a dominant 40 kyr cyclicity gave way to the current 100 kyr period. It is critical to understand the role of forcing factors and especially of greenhouse gases in this transition. Unravelling such key linkages between the carbon cycle, ice sheets, atmosphere and ocean behaviour is vital, assisting society to design an effective mitigation and adaptation strategy for climate change. Only ice cores contain direct and quantitative information about past climate forcing and atmospheric responses. However, the longest (EPICA) ice core record available to date covers only the last 800 kyr. The RIA Topic LC-CLA-08-2018 empowers the European ice core community to perform such an oldest ice core drilling and the project 'Beyond EPICA' is taking on this unique challenge and opportunity. The overarching scientific objective driving 'Beyond EPICA' is to obtain quantitative, high-resolution ice- core information on climate and environmental changes over the last 1.5 Myr. The cause and effect relationship that led to the enigmatic MPT change in the climate system is not understood yet, as important information on global changes in the climate system is still missing. Most of this information, including the phasing of these changes in the Earth System can only be derived from a continuous ice core from Antarctica covering the last 1.5 Myr. This proposal uses the planning derived during the recent BE-OI CSA, and offers an excellent team (the only team globally that could at present accept the challenge of the call), underpinned by excellent infrastructure and capacity, and is currently ensuring it has an excellent location for the core.
Towards optical communication on silicon chips

Our vision is to integrate light-emitting devices, based on hexagonal silicon-germanium (Hex-SiGe), with existing Si electronics and passive Si-photonics circuitry. This establishes a silicon-compatible technology platform, with full opto-electronic functionality. 

Silicon dominates the electronics industry for more than half a century. However, silicon, germanium and SiGe-alloys are all indirect band gap semiconductors. Their inability to efficiently emit light has adversely shaped the semiconductor industry we know today. Accordingly, achieving efficient light emission from SiGe has been a holy grail in silicon technology for decades. Hexagonal crystal phase SiGe (Hex-SiGe) recently emerged as a new direct bandgap semiconductor with excellent light emission capabilities. Hex-SiGe will provide additional functionality like light generation (light emitting diode, laser), light amplification (semiconductor optical amplifier) and efficient light detection to silicon technology. 

This project will focus on:
•	The growth of device quality Hex-SiGe on silicon-on-insulator (SOI).   
•	Demonstration of opto-electronic functionality in Hex-SiGe, including a quantum well laser. 
This new technology promises strongly improved performance in computing and sensing, while simultaneously reducing cost by mass production in existing silicon foundries.
COLOURED COATING SLIP FOR ENHANCING THE QUALITY PROPERTIES AND RUNNING PROPERTIES OF PRINT MEDIA, AND PRODUCTION METHOD FOR THE SLIP

The present invention relates to a coloured coating slip for coating a print medium such as paper, paperboard and cardboard, for example, which comprises water, at least one pigment, at least one binder, electrolytic constituents, and at least two additives. The coloured coating slip is characterized in that it comprises as first additive at least one high molecular mass polyether and as second additive at least one polyfunctional alcohol and/or low molecular mass polyether and/or micellar fatty acid dispersion, the first and second additives at least partly restricting the electrolytic constituents of the slip in terms of their movement in the aqueous phase of an electrical double layer of the pigment, and leading to a retardation of the discharge time in the dried slip coat. The invention also encompasses a method for producing the coloured coating slip.
Preliminary exploration of underwater noise impact on Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) elvers

With the rapid increase in the construction of offshore wind farms and other coastal engineering projects, people begin to realize that anthropogenic underwater noise such as pile driving and underwater explosions can have an adverse impact on marine life. The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) is an important economic fish species in China, Japan and South Korea due to its high-quality meat. As most Japanese eel elvers for aquaculture are caught in estuaries or seashores, eel farms are often located close to these locations. Therefore, various underwater noises from coastal constructions and ship traffic may influence local eel aquaculture. In this paper, we observed the behaviour of Japanese eel elvers - with body-length from 8 to 10 cm - under exposure to a controllable underwater noise, and we studied the single frequency and noise impact on Japanese eel elvers. Results showed that the Japanese eel elvers were sensitive to the noise of 600–800 Hz, and particularly to 700 Hz. With the increase of noise pressure level, elvers showed significant avoidance with respect to the sound source, and also that they move at a faster speed than originally.
Cost-Efficient and safe cellulosic food pad

Food pad absorbers used in the fresh food packaging to soak up the exuded liquid and keep food fresh are made of synthetic superabsorbent polymers (SAPs) – i.e. 90% of the market share - due to their superior price-efficiency balance. Nevertheless, proven toxicity and carcinogenic effects related with their use have raised growing health concerns. To put these dangerous practices aside, the need of economical biodegradable and non-toxic pads to compete with the synthetic ones are on the rise.
CELLCOMB a Swedish company specialized in cellulose-based laminated products, has developed CELLSORB- a totally safe (i.e. non-toxic) closed food pad made from bioplastics and natural absorbent micro-cellulose material with the following superior features: 1) highly absorption capacity, similar with the performance of synthetic food pads, 2) It is fully compostable and 100% renewable, and 3) Competitive pricing over synthetic made food pads.
Through CELLSORB, we will position us as a competitive company in the framework of alternative natural absorbent materials for fresh food packaging. We expect to reach around 20% share of the European food pad industry by 2026. Our highly absorbent micro cellulose material will not only be constrained to the food pads but in a long term it will expand its application to other known verticals like diapers, feminine hygiene and wound care products, highly demanded. 
The impact of CELLSORB in our whole business is expected to allow us growing 5-fold, and reaching an EBITDA of €12.1 million by 2026.
Radiative properties of highly magnetized isolated neutron star surfaces and approximate treatment of absorption features in their spectra

In the X-ray spectra of most X-ray dim isolated neutron stars (XDINSs) absorption features with equivalent widths (EWs) of 50 -- 200 eV are observed. We theoretically investigate different models to explain absorption features and compare their properties with the observations. We consider various theoretical models for the magnetized neutron star surface: naked condensed iron surfaces and partially ionized hydrogen model atmospheres, including semi-infinite and thin atmospheres above a condensed surface. The properties of the absorption features (especially equivalent widths) and the angular distributions of the emergent radiation are described for all models. A code for computing light curves and integral emergent spectra of magnetized neutron stars is developed. We assume a dipole surface magnetic field distribution with a possible toroidal component and corresponding temperature distribution. A model with two uniform hot spots at the magnetic poles can also be employed. Light curves and spectra of highly magnetized neutron stars with parameters typical for XDINSs are computed using different surface temperature distributions and various local surface models. Spectra of magnetized model atmospheres are approximated by diluted blackbody spectra with one or two Gaussian lines having parameters, which allow us to describe the model absorption features. To explain the prominent absorption features in the soft X-ray spectra of XDINSs a thin atmosphere above the condensed surface can be invoked, whereas a strong toroidal magnetic field component on the XDINS surfaces can be excluded.
Support to the activities of the european technology and innovation platform on deep geothermal

The overarching objective of the new ETIP-“Deep Geothermal” is to enable deep geothermal technology, in particular Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS), to proliferate and move from the current European R&D and pilot-sites to other European countries and different geological situations. The primary objective is overall cost reduction, including social, environmental and technological costs.
The Geothermal ETIP is an open stakeholder group, including representatives from industry, academia, research centres, and sectoral associations, covering the entire deep geothermal energy exploration, production and utilization value chain.

The European Technology and Innovation Platforms (ETIPs) have been recently recognised by the EC as a tool to strengthen cooperation with Stakeholders under the Strategic Energy Technology Plan (SET-Plan), as part of the H2020 programme.

The geothermal sector created an European Technology and Innovation Platform on Deep Geothermal in March 2016, and the European Commission, DG RTD, officially recognised it as an ETIP in July 2016.

A Geothermal Forum of stakeholders, including large companies, SMEs, academia and research institutions has been convened in March 2016.

Terms of Reference (ToR) to establish the governance and procedures of the Geothermal ETIP were adopted in June 2016.

This proposal aims at assisting the mission of Deep geothermal ETIP.
Activation of mitochondria during embryogenesis

Mitochondria are well known as the powerhouse of cells and play a vital role in embryo development regulating energy
homeostasis. Mitochondrial function has been studied for decades, although several aspects of mitochondrial metabolism during
development still remain unclear. Which mechanisms are responsible for the continuous increase in respiratory chain activity during
embryogenesis? How does translational activity in the early embryo contribute to this process, and how is the translational activity in
mitochondria coordinated with the translational activity in the cytoplasm?
In my project, I will investigate mechanisms that underlie the increase in mitochondrial energy production during embryogenesis.
Using zebrafish embryos as a model system for vertebrate development, I propose to measure mitochondrial translational activity
with de novo translation assays and assess its contribution to the assembly of new respiratory chain complexes. Also, I will explore
the largely enigmatic mechanism of the co-regulation of cytoplasmic and mitochondrial translation.
My research will provide novel insights into the universal yet poorly understood mechanisms that activate mitochondrial function
after fertilization. Since in the early embryo nucleus is transcriptionally inactive, my work has the potential to discover novel,
transcription-independent feedback-mechanisms that balance mitochondrial and cytoplasmic translations.
Writing and accounting in early mesopotamia: reassessing evolutionary models and social impact of literacy at the dawn of history (4th-2nd millennia bce)

The project aims to reconsider the interplay between writing and accounting devices in early Mesopotamia, challenging old evolutionary models. As recent discoveries in Turkey make clear, writing did not replace prehistoric means of administration throughout Mesopotamian history. In addition, newly found traces of pigments on early cuneiform tablets invite us to reconsider the main writing medium – i.e. clay – as a complex one. Taking an interdisciplinary approach, the project will output an innovative monograph, which will re-assess the role of writing in the ancient urban cultures of the Near East, and more broadly in cultural evolution. The research will focus on both Philology of cuneiform sources — no coherent study on ancient terminology for writing and accounting  is presently available —, and Art History, in order to look for as yet unrecognized representations of ancient devices in the iconographic record. The research will be informed by original Digital Humanities solutions for data mining of cuneiform texts (PostgreSQL database, Python scripts). In addition, comparative Anthropology will provide a broader theoretical background to test assumptions and possible interpretations. The action will open up diverse academic opportunities for the researcher, including a professorship in Europe, either in History of the Ancient Near East or in Digital Humanities, thanks to the newly acquired expertise in History of sciences and programming languages. Through seminars and workshops, the host will benefit from the researcher’s expertise in comparative study of writing systems, as well as from his academic network. The results have great potential for exploitation in History and Archaeology of the Ancient Near East, Cultural evolution, Digital Humanities. The project focuses on the historical developments of one of the core feature of civilization — namely writing — which is of great interest to both scholars and wide public within the European community.

On adaptive procedures controlling the familywise error rate

Abstract The idea of modifying, and potentially improving, classical multiple testing methods controlling the familywise error rate (FWER) via an estimate of the unknown number of true null hypotheses has been around for a long time without a formal answer to the question whether or not such adaptive methods ultimately maintain the strong control of FWER, until Finner and Gontscharuk (2009) and Guo (2009) have offered some answers. A class of adaptive Bonferroni and S˘idak methods larger than considered in those papers is introduced, with the FWER control now proved under a weaker distributional setup. Numerical results show that there are versions of adaptive Bonferroni and S˘idak methods that can perform better under certain positive dependence situations than those previously considered. A different adaptive Holm method and its stepup analog, referred to as an adaptive Hochberg method, are also introduced, and their FWER control is proved asymptotically, as in those papers. These adaptive Holm and Hochberg methods are numerically seen to often outperform the previously considered adaptive Holm method.
