Smart Interregional Cooperation Strategy for Innovation capacities in the Energy Sector on the MED area

SMARTinMED aims at increasing Mediterranean SMEs innovation capacities with a specific focus on renewable energies and energy efficiency. The project capitalises on the results achieved in previous European projects and specifically on IC-MED project, so to help SMEs in better facing local, national and international competition by increasing their market shares, by supporting their capacities to keep high rate of innovation and better profiting from networking and cooperation across the Mediterranean. By a preliminary mapping and analysis exercise on regional renewable energies and energy efficiency markets and the involvement of the relevant stakeholders (esp. SMEs), project partners will be able to identify high potential activities, the most promising value chains and target markets. Inside the value chains/markets/domains identified, a sound analysis will focus on SMEs needs and barriers for innovation that will be subsequently tackled by the Pilot action. The project will also address non technological innovation, with a specific set of activities dedicated to SMEs new business models in energy and energy efficiency. A key aspect of SMARTinMED is to exploit the role energy clusters can play, thanks to their capacity to reach SMEs better than other intermediaries and to offer new services that help SMEs to innovate. Clusters will be accompanied to improve their intermediary role with both private actors and local public authorities in raising the awareness on SMEs role as key actors for facing the new economic and environmental challenges. In addition, the project will support the realisation of a Pilot action, that will allow the promotion of new business models and of complementary capacities of SMEs by the different partners in different regional contexts. SMARTinMED also considers the importance of investing in human resources, talent and expertise, both as a necessary response to increasingly complex markets and innovation systems, both as the smarter way to exploit the enormous employment potential offered by the transition to a greener economy. Finally SMARTinMED addresses policy development processes, aiming at improving priority setting, valorisation of existing regional assets and complementarities, and the elaboration of sound policies. This action will ensure the sustainability of project results, delivering to policy makers and stakeholders a sound set of priorities and a participatory process based on regional assets. Fundamental importance will be given to a transversal set of activities dedicated to communication, awareness rising and capitalisation of project results. These activities will not simply aim at spreading information on the project but will seek for a clear positioning of SMARTinMED key concepts in MED area and Europe, also contributing to rising citizens awareness and acceptance of renewable energies and energy efficiency, speeding-up behavioural changes regarding environment and energy challenges.
True lemurs…true species - species delimitation using multiple data sources in the brown lemur complex

Species are the fundamental units in evolutionary biology. However, defining them as evolutionary independent lineages requires integration of several independent sources of information in order to develop robust hypotheses for taxonomic classification. Here, we exemplarily propose an integrative framework for species delimitation in the "brown lemur complex" (BLC) of Madagascar, which consists of seven allopatric populations of the genus Eulemur (Primates: Lemuridae), which were sampled extensively across northern, eastern and western Madagascar to collect fecal samples for DNA extraction as well as recordings of vocalizations. Our data base was extended by including museum specimens with reliable identification and locality information for skull shape and pelage color analysis.Between-group analyses of principal components revealed significant heterogeneity in skull shape, pelage color variation and loud calls across all seven populations. Furthermore, post-hoc statistical tests between pairs of populations revealed considerable discordance among different data sets for different dyads. Despite a high degree of incomplete lineage sorting among nuclear loci, significant exclusive ancestry was found for all populations, except for E. cinereiceps, based on one mitochondrial and three nuclear genetic loci.Using several independent lines of evidence, our results confirm the species status of the members of the BLC under the general lineage concept of species. More generally, the present analyses demonstrate the importance and value of integrating different kinds of data in delimiting recently evolved radiations.

Influence of integrated nutrient management practices on scented rice (Oryza sativa L.) pertaining to eastern Uttar Pradesh

A Field experiment was conducted to investigate the Influence of Integrated Nutrient Management Practices on Scented Rice (Oryza sativa L.) Pertaining to Eastern Uttar Pradesh at Narendra Deva University of Agriculture and Technology, Kumarganj, Faizabad (U.P.), during Kharif season of 2015-16. The experiment with seven treatments of integrated nutrient managements viz., T1: 50% recommended NPK + 50% N as FYM + 5 kg Zinc ha-1, T2: Recommended N each equivalent to 1/3rd of total N as FYM, vermicompost and neem cake, T3: 100% N as FYM + 5 kg Zn ha-1, T4: T2 + hand weeding + Neem based biopesticide, T5: 50% N as FYM + seedling treatment with Azotobactor and PSB, T6: T2 + seedling treatment with Azotobactor and PSB and T7: 100% NPK + 5 kg Zn ha-1, each treatment was replicated thrice in completely randomized block design. The results revealed that, T1 which was found at par with T3 and T7 while significantly superior over rest of the treatments. Yield attributes, grain yield (36.60 q ha-1) and straw yield (52.80 q ha-1) were found maximum under T1 which was at par with T3 and T7, significantly superior over rest of the treatments. The maximum gross return (` 108300.00 ha-1), net return (`71155.00 ha-1) and B: C (1.86) was recorded from the integrated (Fertilizer + FYM) treatment i.e. T1 for basmati rice. The minimum gross return (` 81600 ha-1) was recorded in the treatment received 100% nutrients through organic manures (50% N as FYM + Azotobacter + PSB) while the minimum net return (`31364 ha-1) and B: C ratio (0.61) in basmati rice were recorded in the treatment received 100% nutrients through organic manures.
Neutron activation analysis of iron meteorites

A simple and effective instrumental neutron activation analysis for iron meteorites is presented in this study. In order to design the analytical procedure, self-absorption of gamma-rays on samples, interfering nuclides and their respective reactions were examined. Seventeen elements (Fe, Co, Ni, Cu, Ga, Ge, As, Mo, Ru, Rh, Sb, W, Re, Os, Ir, Pt and Au) could be nondestructively determined in Canyon Diablo and Cape York iron meteorites. Our data of these two iron meteorites are consistent with the corresponding literature values. This study confirms that our analytical procedure with INAA is simple and effective in classification of iron meteorites.
Olfactomedin-4 Regulation by Estrogen in the Human Endometrium Requires Epidermal Growth Factor Signaling

Olfactomedin-4 (OLFM-4) is an extracellular matrix protein that is highly expressed in human endometrium. We have examined the regulation and function of OLFM-4 in normal endometrium and in cases of endometriosis and endometrial cancer. OLFM-4 expression levels are highest in proliferative-phase endometrium, and 17β-estradiol up-regulates OLFM-4 mRNA in endometrial explant cultures. Using the luciferase reporter under control of the OLFM-4 promoter, it was shown that both 17β-estradiol and OH-tamoxifen induce luciferase activity, and epidermal growth factor receptor-1 is required for this estrogenic response. In turn, EGF activates the OLFM-4 promoter, and estrogen receptor-α is needed for the complete EGF response. The cellular functions of OLFM-4 were examined by its expression in OLFM-4-negative HEK-293 cells, which resulted in decreased vimentin expression and cell adherence as well as increased apoptosis resistance. In cases of endometriosis and endometrial cancer, OLFM-4 expression correlated with the presence of epidermal growth factor receptor-1 and estrogen receptor-α (or estrogen signaling). An increase of OLFM-4 mRNA was observed in the endometrium of endometriosis patients. No change in OLFM-4 expression levels were observed in patients with endometrial cancer relative with controls. In conclusion, cross-talk between estrogen and EGF signaling regulates OLFM-4 expression. The role of OLFM-4 in endometrial tissue remodeling before the secretory phase and during the predisposition and early events in endometriosis can be postulated but requires additional investigation.
Understanding successive industrial revolutions: A “development block” approach

Abstract This paper provides a reappraisal of the literature on “long waves” and “general purpose technologies”. This approach is still widely used to characterize long run trends of technological change and economic development since the first industrial revolution. Notwithstanding providing some useful insights, it is argued that this approach is rooted in a too rigid historical chronology positing a tight connection between technological change to economic outcomes. On these grounds, the paper suggests that a more flexible interpretative framework based on the notion of successive industrial revolutions and “development blocks” may offer a more accurate historical account and be more useful for providing insights for innovation and sustainability policies.
Modulation of the ubiquitin proteasome system during multiple stages of the poxvirus lifecycle

Vaccinia virus (VACV), the prototypic poxvirus, is a large, enveloped, DNA virus characterized by its cytoplasmic site of replication and large subset of genes. Due to the complexity of VACV, the majority of studies focus on the virus rather than the host cell. Thus the repertoire of cell factors and functions required for its replication remain largely unknown. Our previous work to define a subset of these, revealed the cellular degradation machinery as a key requirement of VACV replication. Our findings indicated that ubiquitin (Ub), Ub ligase activity, and proteasome-mediated degradation are required for multiple stages of the virus lifecycle. The aim of this proposal is to reveal how VACV differentially modulates or takes advantage of the Ub proteasome system during genome uncoating, the initiation of DNA replication, and the assembly of progeny virions. For genome uncoating we will characterize the spatial and temporal interactions between ubiquitinated viral proteins, proteasomes, the viral uncoating factor, and the viral genome that occur on cytoplasmic cores. To ascertain how Cullin-3 based ubiquitination and proteasome degradation facilitate the switch from uncoating to replication of the viral genome, we will identify the relevant Cullin-3 substrates in the context of a detailed characterization of viral replication initiation sites. Coming full circle, we will explore the mechanisms used by VACV to modulate cellular degradation such that ubiquitinated viral core proteins are packaged into newly forming virions without being degraded. Using systems biology, virology, cell biology, biochemistry, molecular biology and a wide range of microscopy approaches we will unravel the complex interactions between poxviruses and the host cell degradation machinery. In turn, as viruses often serve as valuable tools to study cell function, this work is likely to uncover new insights into how cells spatially and temporally regulate their own degradative capacities.
Parental leave policies in the uk: an intersectional analysis of policy development and use

Parental leave is a popular topic that has been the subject of much parliamentary debate, news articles and scholarly examination. The scholarship on parental leave has revealed that despite the stated intentions of policy-makers, parental leave has not always had positive impacts on women’s ability to return to the workforce and is not widely used by fathers, perpetuating the idea that mothers are best suited to the work of raising children. Given the importance of the work of child-raising, how can parental leave be organised in a way that benefits mothers, fathers, children and broader society? These questions can only be answered by the critical examination of existing policies, including its most recent changes, and interviews with parents’ use of leave. This examination must acknowledge the ways that gender, race and social class influence how such policies are developed and how parents use leave, particularly as policies and parents’ use of leave reflect widely held beliefs about what ‘good’ parenting looks like. Scholarship on parental leave has begun to address some of these questions, considering how parental leave impacts on breastfeeding rates, women’s working patterns and fathers’ involvement in childrearing but this scholarship has not done enough to critically consider how gender and race and class influence these factors. Unpicking the racial and class ideologies that shape socially constructed notions of ‘good’ parenthood, and ‘good’ motherhood, in particular, will help to shift the way we approach parental leave policy-making and perhaps other, related parenting policies. This work of considering race, gender and class is a necessary intervention in the study of parenting culture more broadly, which has not given sufficient attention to these ideas in analyses of ‘good’ parenting. This research will make an important contribution to this emerging field of parenting culture studies and to British policy-making in the field of parenting.
NAC wall: An open cycle solar-DEC with naturally driven ventilation

Abstract This paper presents the general concept of the NAC (Natural Air Conditioning)-wall system and some experimental results on a first prototype. The originality of the system is to perform a solar DEC (Desiccant, Evaporative Cooling) open cycle by exploiting natural buoyancy driven ventilation, thus avoiding the use of fans. The supply air is dehumidified by a zeolite based adsorption bed and is cooled indirectly by an evaporative cooler, through a low pressure heat exchanger. Eight days measurements were performed, each including a sample with five adsorption/regeneration cycles. During the first measurements, thermal COPs were in the range 0.30 1.01, depending on duration of regeneration and absorption phases. This led to a better tuning of the system, which gave for the remaining samples an average COP th of 0.64, with an average electrical COP of 12.7, calculated considering electrical consumption of water loops pumps.
Biocompatibility of Ir/Ti-oxide coatings: Interaction with platelets, endothelial and smooth muscle cells

Abstract Applying surface coatings on a biomedical implant is a promising modification technique which can enhance the implant's biocompatibility via controlling blood constituents- or/and cell-surface interaction. In this study, the influence of composition of Ir x Ti 1− x -oxide coatings ( x  = 0, 0.2, 0.4, 0.6, 0.8, 1) formed on a titanium (Ti) substrate on the responses of platelets, endothelial cells (ECs) and smooth muscle cells (SMCs) was investigated. The results showed that a significant decrease in platelet adhesion and activation was obtained on Ir 0.2 Ti 0.8 -oxide and Ir 0.4 Ti 0.6 -oxide coatings, rendering the surfaces more blood compatible, in comparison to the control (316L stainless steel, 316L-SS) and other coating compositions. Further, a substantial increase in the EC/SMC surface count ratio after 4 h of cell attachment to the Ir 0.2 Ti 0.8 -oxide and Ir 0.4 Ti 0.6 -oxide coatings, relative to the 316L-SS control and the other coating compositions, indicated high potential of these coatings for the enhancement of surface endothelialization. This indicates the capability of the corresponding coating compositions to promote EC proliferation on the surface, while inhibiting that of SMCs, which is important in cardiovascular stents applications.

Action Synthesis for Branching Time Logic

The article introduces a parametric extension of Action-Restricted Computation Tree Logic called pmARCTL. A symbolic fixed-point algorithm providing a solution to the exhaustive parameter synthesis problem is proposed. The parametric approach allows for an in-depth system analysis and synthesis of the correct parameter values. The time complexity of the problem and the algorithm is provided. An existential fragment of pmARCTL (pmEARCTL) is identified, in which all of the solutions can be generated from a minimal and unique base. A method for computing this base using symbolic methods is provided. The prototype tool SPATULA implementing the algorithm is applied to the analysis of three benchmarks: faulty Train-Gate-Controller, Peterson’s mutual exclusion protocol, and a generic pipeline processing network. The experimental results show efficiency and scalability of our approach compared to the naive solution to the problem.

Virtual reality in high fidelity flight simulation

The adoption of flight simulation slowly started after the Second World War, as a disruptive innovation in the training of aviation pilots. Its enormous potential for cost savings was the driving force for its progressive adoption. Currently, the cost of a training session in a Full Flight Simulator (FFS) is estimated to be between 5-20% of the cost of a session in a real aircraft. 
High fidelity (HI-FI) flight models are the core of Full Flight Simulators, as models replicate the aerodynamics that rule how aircraft fly and how they react to flight control inputs and to external physical conditions (turbulence, wind, precipitation, ...). These models represent “only” 5% of the total cost of a FFS, which is in the average of €25 million, since the hardware equipment comprises very complex motion platforms (required for 6-degree of freedom, in order to emulate movements and acceleration of a real aircraft) and aircraft cockpits (specific for each aircraft model, replicating the real instrumentation panel and flight controls) mounted on the platform.
Our solution is the integration of HI-FI Flight Models in Virtual Reality (VR), creating a VR FFS that eliminates the high costs related to hardware in the current FFS, lowering the price of FFS from €25M to €125K. 
During the 5 months of execution of Phase 1 we will validate the technical, operational and financial viability of our solution.
Children's Coping in the Context of Disasters and Terrorism

Disasters and terrorism present significant and often overwhelming challenges for children and families worldwide. Individual, family, and social factors influence disaster reactions and the diverse ways in which children cope. This article links conceptualizations of stress and coping to empirical knowledge of children's disaster reactions, identifies limitations in our current understanding, and suggests areas for future study of disaster coping. Coping strategies, developmental trajectories influencing coping, and the interplay between parent and child coping represent critical areas for advancing the field and for informing programs and services that benefit children's preparedness and foster resilience in the face of mass trauma.
