Developing the world’s first food wrapping machine with organic film

If you walk into any supermarket or food store in Europe, you will most likely be greeted by stacks of fresh food wrapped in cling film plastic. While this plastic packaging is convenient and, in the case of fresh meats, plays a vital role in food hygiene and prolonging shelf-life, the environmental damages we suffer due to our reliance on plastic are devastating – 15.8 million tonnes of plastic packaging waste were generated in the EU in 2014. New biodegradable wrapping solutions are currently being developed, but the food industry must adopt other enabling technologies before alternatives to plastic can be fully developed. We are DeltaPak, a manufacturer of a state-of-the-art wrapping machine that will be the first to integrate organic, biodegradable wrapping films while being able to reduce food waste and seamlessly operate in integrated food packaging lines. We have identified a pressing need in the food packaging sector for a wrapping machine that can incorporate organic films while also offering operational innovations that provide predictive and preventive maintenance functionalities. Our new machine, titled Proteus, will be able to package 25 packs per minute in an organic film which will give food packers the benefits of plastic such as hygiene, food safety, premium presentation and food waste reduction without the negative externalities of plastic pollution. The opportunity for such a solution is massive, with €1 billion per year being spent on plastic wrapping machinery in Europe alone. We estimate that by 2025, we will have sold a total of 1,830 units and reach an annual turnover of €10.98 million. Our Phase 1 project will focus on defining the mechanical and electronic development requirements to accommodate the organic film, air purification technology and connectivity functionalities (technical) and the commercial feasibility of the wrapping machine in all industry verticals.
OpenSource Lab‐on‐a‐Chip Physiometer for Accelerated Zebrafish Embryo Biotests

Zebrafish (Danio rerio) embryo assays have recently come into the spotlight as convenient experimental models in both biomedicine and ecotoxicology. As a small aquatic model organism, zebrafish embryo assays allow for rapid physiological, embryo-, and genotoxic tests of drugs and environmental toxins that can be simply dissolved in water. This protocol describes prototyping and application of an innovative, miniaturized, and polymeric chip-based device capable of immobilizing a large number of living fish embryos for real-time and/or time-lapse microscopic examination. The device provides a physical address designation to each embryo during analysis, continuous perfusion of medium, and post-analysis specimen recovery. Miniaturized embryo array is a new concept of immobilization and real-time drug perfusion of multiple individual and developing zebrafish embryos inside the mesofluidic device. The OpenSource device presented in this protocol is particularly suitable to perform accelerated fish embryo biotests in ecotoxicology and phenotype-based pharmaceutical screening.
Early development and larval behaviour of two clingfishes, Lepadogaster purpurea and Lepadogaster lepadogaster (Pisces: Gobiesocidae)

The recent revision on the taxonomic status of Lepadogaster lepadogaster resulted in the division of this species into L. lepadogaster and L. purpurea, the clarification of each species’ distribution ranges and the elimination of L. zebrina (now in synonymy with L. lepadogaster). This new taxonomic status led to the need of clarifying the early development of the two species. Embryonic development lasted 21 days in L. purpurea at a mean temperature of 14.2°C, and 16 days in L. lepadogaster at a mean temperature of 16.5°C. Newly hatched larvae of both species measured 5.2 mm, had the mouth and anus opened, pigmented eyes and almost no yolk. At hatching and throughout development the two species can be distinguished by the ventral pigmentation which is absent in L. purpurea. The change to a benthic mode of life was gradual in both species, with larvae increasingly spending more time close to the bottom until definitely settling. Larval development lasted 33 days in L. purpurea at a mean temperature of 14.6°C and 18 days in L. lepadogaster at a mean temperature of 16.5°C. Locomotion and foraging behaviours are described for both species. L. lepadogaster showed a higher frequency of swimming and foraging behaviour when compared with L. purpurea.
Implantable Devices for Hydrocephalus Management

For the past 60 years, hydrocephalus has been managed using passive drainage cerebral shunts. However, 40% of passive shunts fail within two years after implantation due to complications such as obstruction and incorrect drainage. A smart shunt is a powered device intended to solve these problems using cellular obstruction preventive techniques and patient specific drainage algorithms. This study has focused on obstruction resistive designs and obstruction clearing means for prolonging shunt patency. The integrated fluidic topology presented is capable of providing passive, energy efficient means for intracranial pressure regulation and comprises of a built-in flushing mechanism. The concept was realized using a rotary pump-valve peristaltic system, consisting of a novel peristaltic three-way variable-resistance valve. The shunt topology is capable of continuous drainage, zero opening pressure and is able to reverse flow direction for the purpose of unclogging the shunt. Feasibility calculations suggest it is capable of 150 valve adjustments or 5 flushing cycles before requiring a recharge when using a 2 gram coin-cell battery. A 40 gram smart phone battery could provide 2 weeks of closed loop operation when regulating intracranial pressure at 10 minute intervals. The mechanical wear the device is subjected to is negligible and intended to support operation for a lifetime. The DC motor, gearhead and encoder required to drive the hypothetical peristaltic system is the size of two AA batteries and weighs 50 gram. The dimensions of the peristaltic system were obtained via MATLAB simulations and a bench-top shunt system was evaluated using pressure-flow and back-pressure test rigs with LabVIEW. The shunt demonstrated an overall conductance of 0 - 4.90 ??L/min/mmH2O and a back-pressure of 3 mH2O. The peristaltic system demonstrated its efficacy as part of an obstruction-free smart shunt. Future development will include miniaturization of the shunting device. A bioreactor connected to the shunt system will start the evaluation of the effectiveness of flushing on cellular obstruction. Simulink computer simulations will allow energy efficient drainage hydraulic designs and algorithms to be tested using a hydrocephalus hydrodynamic model of the brain.
Forming and modular integration of thermoplastics

The main objective of FORMIT is to develop a modular tooling to integrate a wing upper skin and an external wing leading edge with several T-Shape and omega stringers. Skins will be laminated on the integration tool by Topic Manager with Automated Fiber Placement technology and stringer will be produced with an innovative continuous forming process patented by Applus. Both structures will be made of carbon fiber embedded in PEEK thermoplastic matrix. The conjunction of these two manufacturing technologies and thermoplastic composite enables an out-of-autoclave production process and curing final structure with low cost and high production rates. This project will be a step forward to manufacture an Outer External Wing out of autoclave and a morphing leading edge, which will result in a reduction in production costs, airplane fuel consumption and resilience to impact. 
Feasibility of the technology will be assessed by several tests through a building block approach up to Level 2 (Element), including Level 1 (coupons) and physic-chemical analysis.
The selected process will be taken to TRL5, to demonstrate industrial feasibility. To achieve these objectives, main activities are:
• Design of a continuous manufacturing stringer process based on a well-know and proved Applus Forming approach;
• Definition and execution of Test Plan to assess main mechanical characteristics of the manufacturing trials of continuous stringer process;

METHOD OF PREPARING WHOLE SEMICONDUCTOR WAFER FOR ANALYSIS

A method for preparing a semiconductor wafer for whole wafer backside inspection is disclosed. The frontside of the wafer Is covered with a protective frontside substrate and the backside portion of the wafer is thinned using conventional techniques. The whole wafer backside is then polished and a backside substrate, preferably of transparent material is juxtaposed to the backside of the wafer, such as with an adhesive or with a frame. The frontside substrate is then removed, exposing electronic devices for device inspection. The backside of the wafer is'maintained open or available to backside inspection such as emission microscopy techniques used to detect defects which emit light.
Editorials and the Power of Media: Interweaving of socio-cultural identities

Editorials define at a given time how media construct their socio-cultural environment and where they position themselves in it. In this sense, they are snapshots of media socio-cultural identities whose study is crucial for the understanding of media actions and interactions on the political stage. This book contributes to the study of media roles in politics with a methodological “discursive communication identity framework” and its application to a corpus of editorials. This allows for the definition of editorials as a genre, and it reveals that, thanks to a very adroit interweaving of their socio-cultural identities, news media can play a much more active role on the political stage than studies on framing and agenda setting have hitherto shown. The place of media in political communication models might therefore need to be reviewed. This book is intended for all those interested in media and politics whatever their academic specializations.
Referential processing in the human brain: An Event-Related Potential (ERP) study

A substantial body of ERP research investigating the processing of syntactic long-distance dependencies has shown that, across languages and construction types, the second element in such configurations typically elicits phasic left anterior negativity (LAN). We hypothesized that these effects are not specific to syntactic dependencies, but rather index a more general cognitive operation in which the second (dependent) element in sentence-level linguistic long-distance relationships triggers a process of association with the first element. We tested this hypothesis with straightforward referential dependencies, comparing pronouns with proper name antecedents to those without, and proper names with and without preceding co-referring pronouns. We predicted phasic LAN effects in response to the second referential element in both comparisons, but observed them only in response to pronouns with antecedents; no differences were observed between responses to proper names with and without preceding co-referring pronouns. We argue that LAN effects observed at the pronoun index the cognitive operations necessary for the association of a pronoun with its antecedent, on which it depends for its reference. Similar but non-identical responses were elicited by the main clause verb following the gap position in object relative clause constructions compared to coordinate clause controls in an orthogonal manipulation. LAN effects were thus elicited by the second dependent element in both construction types, suggesting that long-distance syntactic and referential dependencies pose similar processing challenges. These findings help to clarify the cognitive processes indexed by anterior negative responses to associated dependent elements in a variety of language contexts.

Emergent limited perioperative transesophageal echocardiography: should new guidelines exist for limited echocardiography training for anesthesiologists?

Bedside limited echocardiography, or focused cardiac ultrasound, continues to gain popularity in many emergency rooms, intensive care units, and operating rooms as a rapid method of assessing unstable patients. Effective monitoring of cardiovascular function in conditions like cardiac arrest or near-arrest is the crucial step to guide successful resuscitative efforts. Transesophageal echocardiography (TEE) has emerged as one of the preferred cardiac diagnostic and monitoring modalities in the intraoperative setting due to the fact that it is less invasive than many other monitors, is immediately accessible, and allows for continuous real-time monitoring of cardiac function. However, the minimum training requirements needed for the anesthesia provider to obtain the competency, knowledge, and skills for basic certification in perioperative TEE far exceed those developed for other medical specialties. We believe there is an urgent need to develop (1) practical guidelines for emergent perioperative TEE use for anesthesiologists and (2) a requisite educational curriculum to teach the basic skills necessary to aid in the diagnosis and treatment of cardiac arrest or near-arrest scenarios. The measures elucidated in this report summarize the efforts of the Department of Anesthesiology at the University of Florida in establishing the necessary steps to make this process not only practical, but accessible to all trainees.We hope that these collective efforts will provide more trainees the confidence in utilizing TEE to aid in establishing a diagnosis in critical situations.
Transgenic maize plants expressing the Totivirus antifungal protein, KP4, are highly resistant to corn smut

The corn smut fungus, Ustilago maydis, is a global pathogen responsible for extensive agricultural losses. Control of corn smut using traditional breeding has met with limited success because natural resistance to U. maydis is organ specific and involves numerous maize genes. Here, we present a transgenic approach by constitutively expressing the Totivirus antifungal protein KP4, in maize. Transgenic maize plants expressed high levels of KP4 with no apparent negative impact on plant development and displayed robust resistance to U. maydis challenges to both the stem and ear tissues in the greenhouse. More broadly, these results demonstrate that a high level of organ independent fungal resistance can be afforded by transgenic expression of this family of antifungal proteins.
Sharing researchers’ passion for evolving responsibilities

Researchers are key actors in finding sustainable solutions to global challenges. With their work they are committed to pursue new discoveries that can make a difference in the quality of life for everyone. These commitment and passion lead them to face constantly evolving responsibilities with an impact on everyone’s life.  SHARPER (SHaring Researchers’ Passion for Evolving Responsibilities) aims to present to all citizens the researchers’ commitment for their increasingly important social role. By making the researchers’ job a shared cultural experience SHARPER will let citizens and researchers be part of the same endeavor for a better world.

La formation médicale dans le contexte de la pandémie de covid-19 : impacts et enjeux de l’apprentissage

Le but de cet article est de présenter les impacts provoqués par la pandémie de covid-19 dans la formation médicale, dans le contexte de la Faculté de médecine de Petrópolis (Brésil), en mettant l’accent sur la façon dont les enseignants de l’unité curriculaire d’ophtalmologie ont mené le processus d’adaptation du cours pour mettre en œuvre un modèle d’EAD (enseignement à distance) auprès de 82 étudiants. Selon les résultats, issus de l’analyse de contenu des réponses des étudiants aux questions ouvertes de l’évaluation du cours et de l’autoévaluation, il est possible d’identifier que, malgré les impacts négatifs provoqués par la pandémie, les professeurs ont pu mettre en place des stratégies favorisant l’apprentissage. Mais des questions demeurent sans réponse concernant les lacunes laissées par les expériences pratiques non vécues, l’acquisition des compétences corrélées et le développement d’apprentissages expérientiels. Répondre à ces questions peut offrir des pistes pour l’amélioration de la formation dans le contexte actuel de transformations sanitaires, éducationnelles et sociales.
Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation during double-lung transplantation: single center experience.

For patients with end-stage lung diseases, lung transplantation is the final therapeutic option. Sequential double-lung transplantation is recognized as an established procedure to avoid cardiopulmonary bypass (CPB). But some of the sequential double-lung transplantations require CPB support during the surgical procedure for various reasons. However, conventional CPB may increase the risk of bleeding and early allograft dysfunction. Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is more advantageous than conventional CPB during the perioperative period of transplantation. Replacing traditional CPB with ECMO is promising for those patients needing cardiopulmonary support during a sequential double-lung transplantation procedure. This study aimed to summarize the preliminary experience of ECMO practice in lung transplantation.Between November 2002 and October 2008, twelve patients with end-stage lung diseases undergoing sequential double-lung transplantation were subjected to ECMO during the surgical procedure. Eleven patients were prepared for the procedure via transverse thoracostomy (clamshell) and cannulated through the ascending aorta and right atrium for ECMO. The first patient who underwent bilateral thoracotomy for bilateral sequential lung transplantation required emergency ECMO via the femoral artery and vein during the second lung implantation. The Medtronic centrifugal pump and ECMO package (CB1V97R1, Medtronic, Inc., USA) were used for all of the patients.During ECMO, the blood flow rate was set between 1.8 - 2.0 L x m(-2) x min(-1) to keep hemodynamic and oxygen saturation stable; colloid oncotic pressure was maintained at more than 18 mmHg with albumin and hematocrit (HCT) kept at 28% or more. Two patients died early in this series and the other 10 patients were weaned from ECMO successfully. The duration of ECMO was 1.38 - 67.00 hours, and postoperative intubation was 10.5 - 67.0 hours.As an established technique of cardiopulmonary support, ECMO is helpful to keep hemodynamics stable, while reducing risk factors such as ischemia-reperfusion injury, anticoagulation requirement and systemic inflammatory response for sequential double-lung transplantation compared with conventional CPB.
Design for Test and Fault Simulation of Electronic Circuits

: The increasing complexity of circuits and decreasing components size has made the testability and simulation of electronic circuits to be considered crucial and demanding. Therefore, there is need to employ Design for Test (DFT) and fault simulation concepts from the earliest stages of the product design because it impacts all areas of the design of a product from the initial concept to the component choice, investment in test equipments and mechanical design in order to eliminate faults and fabrication defects in the electronic circuits. Furthermore, there is need to design in some circuitry which allows the equipment to test itself (Built-In Self-Test) or allows it to be tested by an external tester (Automatic Testing Equipment). The circuit is simulated to make sure the added test circuitry (BIST or ATE) has not affected the operation of the new circuit. A set of test vectors for the circuit will be written afterwards by the designer if the new circuit passes simulation. A program called a fault simulator is then used to determine the percentage of internal faults that can be detected in the circuit when specified set of test vectors is applied to it. If the test vectors cannot detect an acceptable percentage of faults in the circuits then more test vectors must be written or the circuit must be re-designed so that faults are more detectable.
LEDS MOUNTED ON CURVED LEAD FRAME

An LED lamp includes a metal lead frame strip (14) on which is directly mounted bare LED dies (12), such as in series. Therefore, there is excellent thermal conductivity to the lead frame (14). Lenses (24) are then molded over the LED dies (12) to encapsulate them. The lead frame (14) is then inserted into a mold for a thermally conductive plastic body (38) and is bent in an arc while in the mold so that the top surfaces of the LED dies (12) are not parallel to each other. The plastic body is molded, and the structure is removed from the mold. The curved lead frame causes the overall light emission to be very wide, such a greater than 270 degrees. In another embodiment, the lead frame strip is supported over a curved outer surface of a pre- molded plastic support. Ends of the lead frame strip are inserted into electrical connectors of the plastic support.
