Citizen science for monitoring climate impacts and achieving climate resilience

The 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), launched by the UN in 2015, are underpinned by 169 concrete targets and 232 measurable indicators. Some of these indicators have no established measurement methodology. For others, many countries do not have the data collection capacity. Measuring progress towards the SDGs is thus a challenge for most national statistical offices. The goal of the Crowd4SDG project is to research the extent to which Citizen Science (SC) can provide an essential source of non-traditional data for tracking progress towards the SDGs, as well as the ability of CS to generate social innovations that enable such progress. Based on shared expertise in crowdsourcing for disaster response, the transdisciplinary Crowd4SDG consortium of six partners will focus on SDG 13, climate action, to explore new ways of applying CS for monitoring the impacts of extreme climate events and strengthening resilience of communities to climate-related disasters. To achieve this goal, Crowd4SDG will initiate research on the applications of artificial intelligence and machine learning to enhance CS and explore the use of social media and other non-traditional data sources for more effective monitoring of SDGs by citizens. Crowd4SDG will use direct channels through consortium partner UNITAR to provide national statistical offices with recommendations on best practices for generating and exploiting CS data for tracking the SDGs. To this end, Crowd4SDG will rigorously assess the quality of the scientific knowledge and usefulness of practical innovations occurring when teams develop new CS projects focusing on climate action through three annual challenge-based innovation events, both online and in person. A wide range of stakeholders, from the UN, governments, the private sector, NGOs, academia, innovation incubators and maker spaces will be actively involved in advising the project and exploiting the scientific knowledge and technical innovations that it generates.
Competitions for Benchmarking: Task and Functionality Scoring Complete Performance Assessment

Scientific experiments and robotic competitions share some common traits that can put the debate about developing better experimental methodologies and replicability of results in robotics research on more solid ground. In this context, the Robot Competitions Kick Innovation in Cognitive Systems and Robotics (RoCKIn) project aims to develop competitions that come close to scientific experiments, providing an objective performance evaluation of robot systems under controlled and replicable conditions. In this article, by further articulating replicability into reproducibility and repeatability and by considering some results from the 2014 first RoCKIn competition, we show that the RoCKIn approach offers tools that enable the replicability of experimental results.

Water incorporation in omphacite: concentrations and compositional relations in ultrahigh-pressure eclogites from Pohorje, Eastern Alps

Omphacite in ultra-high pressure (UH P ) eclogites from the Pohorje Mountains in Slovenia, south-eastern Alps, has been investigated by electron microprobe (EMP), infra-red (IR) and Mossbauer spectroscopy to determine OH concentrations and related incorporation mechanisms. Results from polarized IR measurements reveal high contents of structurally bound OH, varying from 530 to 870 ppm H 2 O. Characterization of omphacite composition by EMP analysis and Mossbauer spectroscopy shows that all samples contain vacancies at the M2 position, which can be expressed as a Ca-Eskola component (Ca 0.5 □ 0.5 AlSi 2 O 6 ). The amount of the Ca-Eskola component displays a positive correlation with the OH concentration, which confirms results from previous studies. The occurrence of precipitated quartz rods in some samples indicates that primary omphacite contained a larger Ca-Eskola component. Extrapolation of the observed trend-line for the Ca-Eskola and OH contents point to an original OH concentration around 1500 ppm H 2 O for these samples. The high water contents observed in omphacite are considered to be linked to the UH P origin of the eclogite rocks.
Aloof baby Skyrmions

We show that a suitable choice for the potential term in the two-dimensional baby Skyrme model yields solitons that have a short-range repulsion and a long-range attraction. The solitons are therefore aloof, in the sense that static multi-soliton bound states have constituents that preserve their individual identities and are sufficiently far apart that tail interactions yield small binding energies. The static multi-soliton solutions are found to have a cluster structure that is reproduced by a simple binary species particle model. In the standard three-dimensional Skyrme model of nuclei, solitons are too tightly bound and are often too symmetric, due to symmetry enhancement as solitons coalesce to form bound states. The aloof baby Skyrmion results endorse a way to resolve these issues and provides motivation for a detailed study of the related three-dimensional version of the Skyrme model.

The second element of drill column is provided with outer induction coil on inner circumference of its outer pipe. Induction coils are made segmented consisting of several annular segments and at least partially are overlapped in radial direction. At least two segments are detachably connected to each other.EFFECT: providing compact and easy performed connection for power or data transmission wires during upgrade, simplifying operations performed with induction coils.
A brief analysis of US space employment

Abstract Space policy is an area of industrial economic policy. The space economy would vanish without the active role of the state. Although space may appear exotic to economist, it is not impossible to provide a quick economic insight into one of the most important aspects of all economic activities - the people employed. The space industry can attract employees from other industries in two ways. First, according to individual preferences and motivations. Second, on the basis of higher wages. Statistical evidence suggests the latter is more common. Moreover wages do not reflect productivity. NASA employees earn much more than employees in law or medicine. This does not match the social importance of these activities. Space employs many more people that stated by the OECD. Taking all activities together space employs almost half a million people in the USA. $1 billion given to NASA creates up to 24 000 vacancies in the space industry and also provides room for another 40 000 in the space economy in the long run. Current changes to the US national space programme suggest a decrease of $1.6 billion per year, implying a loss of up to 39 000 jobs.
Hot workability in process modeling of a bearing steel by using combined constitutive equations and dynamic material model

Abstract The high temperature workability of a 1%C–1.5%Cr steel was investigated by means of torsion experiments carried out between 1125 and 1000 °C. The main task of the study was the quantification of the effect of processing conditions (temperature and strain rate) on the flow stress, by means of constitutive models capable of providing the entire shape of the stress vs strain curves. An excellent description was indeed obtained by the Hensel and Spittel relationship, provided that the portions of each curve before and after the peak stress were described separately. The same model curves were then used to estimate the peak and steady state stress for each of the investigated conditions, again obtaining an excellent correlation with the experimental data. To further facilitate the identification of the optimum processing window for this material, dissipation efficiency maps were obtained using as input the stress vs strain rate values computed by a constitutive model, in this case based on the Garofalo sinh equation.
TRansferring Actions iN Sustainable mobility For European Regions

BACKGROUND Mobility Management uses ‘soft’ measures (e.g. information or coordination of existing user services), which enhance the effectiveness of ‘hard’ measures of traffic planning to improve sustainable mobility.  It faces resistance from key decision makers and remains a “minority” policy field that is established in very few European regions.  PIMMS (INTERREG IIIC) developed a “transfer methodology” based on identifying the Critical Success Factors behind best practice case studies, and transferring these CSFs from one region to another.  PIMMS TRANSFER will EXTEND, DEEPEN and PROMOTE this, by involving new Member State regions, and by an array of medium-intensity actions to drive the methodology further.
OBJECTIVES 
1) To stimulate modal shift towards more sustainable forms of transport by increasing the implementation of high quality mobility management techniques and policies in European regions. 2) To extend, deepen and promote best practice in mobility management
PARTNERSHIP
The partners are regions from 14 different Member States, represented by municipalities or regional agencies: 7 INITIATION REGIONS (from new Member States) and 7 PROGRESSION REGIONS (the PIMMS partners). A TRANSFER EXPERT (university) will assist the partners to achieve maximum European added-value.  9 of the 15 regions are Objective 1, with a wide geographical distribution across the EU.

MAIN ACTIVITIES 
EXTEND: continue the programme of Study Trips and Staff Exchanges, develop a programme of mentoring, focus on a revised definition of ‘domains’, review and extend the database of best practice, continue the successful programme of regional dissemination (conferences, websites publications) 
DEEPEN: EU-wide analysis of best practice in Sustainable Urban Transport Planning; a Schools Challenge (action to reduce car-to-school on a comparative basis); a multi-media best practice exchange during European Mobility Week;
a programme of Master Classes; a programme of pilot projects to test elements of the transfer methodology identified in PIMMS.
PROMOTE: a dissemination and training action for each of the three domains.  Thus; 28 Regional Conferences; one Schools; 3 expert conferences; web site, publications etc.

Shading Impact on Qualitative Characteristics and Chlorophyll Content of Cut Rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Avalanche)

Light intensity is considered a limiting factor in greenhouse rose production. The main aim of this experiment was to evaluate the effect of shading treatments (0, 25, 50, and 65% shading) on quality and chlorophyll content of cut rose (Rosa hybrida cv. Avalanche), under greenhouse conditions. The experiment was planned in randomized completely block design with four replications. All shoots were bent downwards from above the second bud after removing the young flower bud. Shading significantly affected on bud sprouting, flowering stem fresh and dry weight and flowering stem diameter, so that earliest bud sprouting, highest flowering stem, fresh and dry weight and flowering stem diameter were observed in no shading treatment. However, shading had no significant effect on flowering stem length and leaf area, but specific leaf area increased with shading percentage increment at 65% shade. Results of total chlorophyll content as well as chlorophyll a and b showed a decrement with increasing of shading percentage. In general, shading could be a cause of low-quality in cut roses; therefore greenhouse roses growers should consider greenhouse architecture to maximize light deep penetration.
Different impacts of statin treatment on development of ischemic heart failure after acute myocardial infarction in patients with or without renal dysfunction

Purpose: It remains unclear whether statin treatment benefits the patients with heart failure in terms of clinical outcomes Also there is a controversy whether patients with renal dysfunction (RD) develops ischemic heart failure (IHF) after acute myocardial infarction (AMI) more easily than those without RD. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effectiveness of statin treatment on IHF in patients with RD.

Methods: A total of 36,580 patients with AMI were enrolled in nationwide AMI registry between November 2005 and February 2012. Of these, eligible 6,835 AMI patients (65.3±12.9 years, 74% Men) with (n=2,209) or without RD (n=4,626) were extracted and divided into two subgroups according to statin treatment (statin group: n=5,133, non-statin group: n=1,702). Primary end point was development of IHF assessed by follow-up echocardiography. IHF was defined by reduced left ventricular ejection fraction (<50%) and wall motion abnormality in territories consistent with coronary angiographic findings.

Results: Baseline characteristics were not significantly different between groups. In COX proportional regression analysis, RD was an independent predictor of IHF (HR 1.482, 95% CI 1.340-1.640, p <0.0001) along with advanced age. In Kaplan-Meier analysis, non-statin group showed more IHF development in patients with RD than without at short- and long-term follow-up (p <0.0001 by log-rank test). However, statin group showed no difference between patients with and without RD at short-term follow-up and late development of IHF after AMI (p <0.0001 by log-rank test).

![Figure][1] 



Conclusions: Statin treatment of AMI patients with renal dysfunction may prevent early development of IHF. Large randomized controlled trials and future investigations of how to reduce late one are warranted.

Structure monomorphism of RNA G-quadruplex that is independent of surrounding condition

G-quadruplex structures in nucleic acids have become attractive targets of study because their distinct structural forms may have diverse biological functions. Here, we preliminary investigated the structure and thermodynamics of G-quadruplexes of RNAs and corresponding DNAs of the same sequence by CD, UV and PAGE. Structural analysis demonstrated that the RNA sequences folded into a parallel-stranded G-quadruplex independently of surrounding conditions with different cations (K(+) and Na(+)) under both dilute and molecular crowding conditions. In contrast, G-quadruplexes of their corresponding DNA sequences showed structural polymorphism depending on the surrounding conditions. Moreover, it was demonstrated that parallel G-quadruplexes of the RNA sequences were more stable than either parallel or antiparallel G-quadruplexes of the same DNA sequences. These results allow us to propose a single, robust RNA G-quadruplex structure that exists under various conditions.
Development of interdisciplinary assessment for manufacturing and design

DIAS develop and demonstrate the integrated multidisciplinary tools necessary to speed up implantation and design integration or Open Rotor structural components in next generation aircrafts. This require more flexible design studies, allowing a wider set of design variants to be explored simultaneously with accounting for manufacturing equipment and process applicability. 
DIAS bring in state of the art modelling and simulation techniques for robot path assessment, geometrical variation of weld assembly using advanced modelling software and combines these with architectural modelling tools (CCM, CAM) that allow impact assessment on system level, risk and cost to be included in the same study 
The studies are conduced as evolving and digital design of experiments first outlining the desired design space, identifying feasible regimes of the design space and generate variations of geometries and manufacturing technologies. The results from the simulations are used together with already existing data from Clean Sky high fidelity simulations and experiments to form validated surrogate models. Decision makers and specialist from multiple domains team up and conduct real time trade off analyses to identify most resilient design. AI and Machine learning algorithms are used to facilitate intelligent and interactive decision support. 
The consortia of Chalmers, Cambridge and FCC have experience form collaborating both with the topic leader and eachother from several preceeding research projects and bring together extensive expertise and experience into the study. The expected outcome is expected to allow the manufacturer to optimize new design and reduce the risk to introduce Clean Sky demonstrated configurations and technologies to be introduced in next generation products. As such, DIAS have a profound impact on realizing the significant potential demonstrated for Open Rotor architectures, while including competitive assessment and risk reducing design capabilities.

Positions for "First insights into migration routes and nonbreeding sites used by Red-rumped Swallows (Cecropis daurica rufula) breeding in the Iberian Peninsula"

<strong>Abstract</strong> Using EURING data and geolocation, we describe migration routes and nonbreeding range of Red-rumped Swallows breeding in the Western Palearctic. One bird ringed in southern Spain and recovered in southern Morocco indicates southwestern migration; geolocator data from five birds from central and eastern Iberian Peninsula confirm migration to various nonbreeding sites in sub-Saharan west Africa between Senegal/Mauritania and Ghana. Two swallows showed non-breeding site itinerancy by using more than one nonbreeding site per season. Despite wide ranges in departure for autumn (August- October) and spring migration (February-March), all birds arrived at nonbreeding and breeding sites within ±1-week from each other. <strong>Zusammenfassung</strong> Erste Einblicke in Zugrouten und Überwinterungsgebiete von Rötelschwalben (<em>Cecropis daurica rufula</em>) der Iberischen Halbinsel.<br> In dieser Studie beschreiben wir Zugrouten und Überwinterungsgebiete westpaläarktischer Rötelschwalben basierend auf EURING- und Geolokations-Daten. Eine Rötelschwalbe, die in Südspanien beringt und im südlichen Marokko wiedergefunden wurde, spricht für einen südwestlichen Zug. Geolokalisation von fünf Vögeln der zentralen und östlichen Iberischen Halbinsel zeigen Überwinterungsorte im sub-Saharischen Westafrika zwischen Senegal/Mauretanien und Ghana. Zwei der getrackten Rötelschwalben nutzten mehrere Überwinterungsplätze pro Saison. Trotz der großen Schwankungsbreite der Abzugszeiten im Herbst (August-Oktober) und im Frühjahr (Februar-März) erreichten die getrackten Vögel ihre Nichtbrut- bzw. Brutplätze innerhalb von 1–2 Wochen.
Nordic driving - solution for transport

Numerous conditions can affect a person’s ability to walk unassisted and severely limit their independence and quality of life. Patients in rehabilitation and the elderly are two groups with specific need for innovative solutions to join mobility and exercise in a way which is practical, safe and fun. At Torqway Company Ltd. (www.torqway.com) we have created a new category of personal transport: Nordic Driving, using levers to power the vehicle from a standing position like a Segway.
This innovative solution under patent in 11 countries meets all the criteria of a healthy and environmentally friendly and won numerous awards including the “BEST INVENTION OF EUROPE 2014” at the INPEX USA, the first time for a Polish company.
Hybrid S-TORQ consists of a platform with two front wheels and a pair of smaller rear wheels. The back and forth movement of the extensible levers attached to the front wheels propels the vehicle forward. Thanks to the innovative gears mounted inside each driving wheel every lever movement is productive in powering the vehicle forward, reaching a speed of 12 km/h compared to human preferred walking speed of around 5 km/h.
Medical studies confirm the therapeutic benefits of regular activity on TORQWAY on muscle strength and endurance, coordination, body balance, respiratory system and the circulatory system. It can be used by patients of all ages with orthopaedic, neurological, cardiac or pulmonary disorders for rehabilitation, recreation and improved mobility.
Having developed, patented and successfully commercialized the basic model S-TORQ our goal is to upgrade the solution for end users who for reasons of age or physical limitation require an additional source of propulsion to enjoy TORQWAY to its full potential. The aim of this project is to prepare for commercialization of the hybrid S-TORQ, the next step in the company roadmap to replicate the TORQWAY technology in various models to attend the needs of specific user niches.
