A unique lead acid battery (lab) recycling technology to reduce co2 emissions by 89%, reduce waste by 81%, and transform the battery recycling industry

Lead Acid Batteries (LABs) are a vital and widely-used technology. The global LAB market is expected to grow by 59% to €71.6 billion by 2022 with Europe accounting for the second largest market share.
Waste LAB recycling rates are as high as 95% in Europe, but the current recycling process – smelting waste LABs in a
furnace – consumes vast quantities of energy, is highly polluting, wasteful, large scale and expensive. Furthermore, smelted
lead must be further processed to produce the essential LAB ingredient: the active lead oxide paste.
A new lead recycling process is needed that is energy efficient, non-polluting, low cost, scalable and produces LAB-ready
lead products. Such process would meet EC priorities by addressing resource efficiency, the sustainable supply of raw
materials and drive the circular economy.
AEL has developed a novel hydrometallurgical process technology to recycle waste LABs in a highly energy efficient, non-polluting and cost effective way. NUOVOpb’s commercial appeal lies in its low cost and scalability, and our ground-breaking ability to produce LAB-ready products that exceed the performance of current products on the market. Our LAB-ready paste can create new LABs with 22% greater energy capacity and 50% longer life. 
The technology has the potential to transform the global battery recycling industry, which has an expected value of €9.5 billion in 2024.
5 years post project, we expect to be operating 18 NUOVOpb facilities across the world. These will be processing 490,000
tonnes of waste LABs (6% of the global waste LAB market) and avoiding 196,000 tonnes CO2 emissions every year. In doing so, AEL will secure annual revenues of €206 million, profits of €54 million, and will have created 200 jobs within AEL. 
NUOVOpb is the most complete closed-loop recycling system in the world, providing significant commercial opportunities for businesses in both the LAB recycling and LAB manufacturing supply chain, globally.
Global Justice and the Plight of Filipino Domestic Migrant Workers

Recent labor migration from third-world countries can be symptomatic of an unjust global order. In a third-world country like the Philippines, this unjust global order can be exemplified in the plight of its overseas migrant workers. This paper specifically examines the case of Filipino domestic migrant workers vis-à-vis global justice in the light of Thomas Pogge’s institutional moral analysis. Its key claim is that the present global set-up is a determining cause of global injustice that engenders global poverty. As a result, scores of Filipinos, mostly women, are driven to engage in domestic labor abroad that exposes them to certain grave risks. It further argues that poverty in third-world countries like the Philippines cannot only be explained by domestic factors such as graft and corruption, unclean elections, increasing population, the moral probity and industriousness of the citizens, etc., but also in terms of how the underlying rules of the present global order are unjustly shaped by certain affluent and politically-influential countries. By applying Pogge’s institutional moral analysis, this study hopes to understand better the diaspora and plight of Filipino domestic migrant workers in a wider context and provide an alternative to the theory of domestic labor migration.

Artifactual generation of an alkaloid in the course of Mondia whitei (Hook.f.) Skeels roots extraction: A clue to endogenous-formed bioactive compounds?

Abstract Introduction The roots of Mondia whitei (Hook.f.) Skeels are widely used across Africa for the treatment of depression, asthenia and sexual disorders. The botanical family Apocynaceae infers the possible presence of alkaloids, which could be responsible for the reported biological properties. Methods Preparation of raw alkaloids extracts induced a reaction between a compound of the root and ammonia, yielding an alkaloid artifact. The precursor and reaction product were identified by HPLC–UV–ESI-MS. The precursor's reactivity toward neurotransmitters was investigated to highlight a possible mechanism of action of M. whitei . Results The compound 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde was identified as the artifactual alkaloid precursor. Its isomers (vanillin and isovanillin) do not show detectable reactivity toward ammonia. Mass spectrometry and TLC analyses confirmed the reactivity of 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde toward dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine and serotonin. Conclusion M. whitei contains a molecule, 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde, able to generate alkaloid artifacts by reaction with the neurotransmitters dopamine, γ-aminobutyric acid, norepinephrine and serotonin; these stable derivatives might explain the root's alleged bioactivity.

Plasticity in the sensorimotor cortex induced by Music-supported therapy in stroke patients: a TMS study

Playing a musical instrument demands the engagement of different neural systems. Recent studies about the musician's brain and musical training highlight that this activity requires the close interaction between motor and somatosensory systems. Moreover, neuroplastic changes have been reported in motor-related areas after short and long-term musical training. Because of its capacity to promote neuroplastic changes, music has been used in the context of stroke neurorehabilitation. The majority of patients suffering from a stroke have motor impairments, preventing them to live independently. Thus, there is an increasing demand for effective restorative interventions for neurological deficits. Music-supported Therapy (MST) has been recently developed to restore motor deficits. We report data of a selected sample of stroke patients who have been enrolled in a MST program (1 month intense music learning). Prior to and after the therapy, patients were evaluated with different behavioral motor tests. Transcranial Magnetic Stimulation (TMS) was applied to evaluate changes in the sensorimotor representations underlying the motor gains observed. Several parameters of excitability of the motor cortex were assessed as well as the cortical somatotopic representation of a muscle in the affected hand. Our results revealed that participants obtained significant motor improvements in the paretic hand and those changes were accompanied by changes in the excitability of the motor cortex. Thus, MST leads to neuroplastic changes in the motor cortex of stroke patients which may explain its efficacy.
Mitigating the Impact of False Alarms and No Fault Found events in military systems

False Alarms (FAs) and No Fault Founds (NFFs) impose a devastating impact on aircraft systems. An entire aircraft can be grounded because of a single avionics for which there are insufficient spares available. If a FA or NFF causes a particular Line Replaceable Unit (LRU) to be called out incorrectly, that same LRU could be called out in many aircraft, possibly shutting down the entire fleet. We will mention results of the studies in the literature addressing the various aspects and impacts of the FA and NFF phenomena. There are multiple and complex causes for FAs and NFFs and it is beyond the scope of technicians to come up with mitigating solutions. Military systems are experiencing these NFF phenomena as well. In this paper we explore the NFFs experienced by Turkish Air Force (TurAF) F-16 avionics which are causing problems for maintenance and increase operational costs and aircraft down-times. As is the case with many avionics repair facilities, whether military or civilian, the NFF issue requires closer scrutiny for the root-causes and evaluation of its impact on cost and aircraft operational time. We will discuss the impact of FAs and NFFs on TurAF F-16 Avionics maintenance activities and evaluate measures that could or should be taken to improve the effectiveness of maintenance personnel in light of these complex events. We will conclude with recommendations that could assist in mitigating FAs and NFFs in military systems.
Real-time investigation of a <i>Legionella pneumophila</i> outbreak using whole genome sequencing

SUMMARY Legionella pneumophila is the main pathogen responsible for outbreaks of Legionnaires' disease, which can be related to contaminated water supplies such as cooling towers or water pipes. We combined conventional molecular methods and whole genome sequence (WGS) analysis to investigate an outbreak of L. pneumophila in a large Australian hospital. Typing of these isolates using sequence-based typing and virulence gene profiling, was unable to discriminate between outbreak and non-outbreak isolates. WGS analysis was performed on isolates during the outbreak, as well as on unlinked isolates from the Public Health Microbiology reference collection. The more powerful resolution provided by analysis of whole genome sequences allowed outbreak isolates to be distinguished from isolates that were temporally and spatially unassociated with the outbreak, demonstrating that this technology can be used in real-time to investigate L. pneumophila outbreaks.

Bulk modulus for solid molecular tritium: Ab initio approximation

Results for the bulk modulus approximation of the solid molecular tritium were calculated by means of simulations with ab initio methods. The selected method does not take into account the beta decay of tritium and its effects on the solid properties. These properties, which were obtained by this methodology, has been tested on experimental data of hydrogen and deuterium [1]. With bulk module calculates the speed of sound by getting information about the changes occurring in the solid phase and behavioral approaches by the equation of state for this system or more complex Deuterium-Tritium (DT), which is used as fuel in target of the systems Inertial Confinement Fusion. This work is presented as a step before to solid DT analysis and mechanical properties. In addition the atomic structure is studied for solid state molecular tritium, showing the transition phase of I to II in solid phase to temperatures of 15 K, this transition shows consistency with the results presented for hydrogen but with a shift in the pressure [2,3].

Transferable Multiresistance Plasmids Carrying <i>cfr</i> in Enterococcus spp. from Swine and Farm Environment

ABSTRACT Seventy-seven porcine Enterococcus isolates with florfenicol MICs of ≥16 μg of were/ml screened for the presence of the multiresistance gene cfr , its location on plasmids, and its genetic environment. Three isolates— Enterococcus thailandicus 3-38 (from a porcine rectal swab collected at a pig farm), Enterococcus thailandicus W3, and Enterococcus faecalis W9-2 (the latter two from sewage at a different farm), carried the cfr gene. The SmaI pulsed-field gel electrophoresis patterns of the three isolates differed distinctly. In addition, E. faecalis W9-2 was assigned to a new multilocus sequence type ST469. Mating experiments and Southern blot analysis indicated that cfr is located on conjugative plasmids pW3 (∼75 kb) from E. thailandicus W3, p3-38 (∼72 kb) from E. thailandicus 3-38, and pW9-2 (∼55 kb) from E. faecalis W9-2; these plasmids differed in their sizes, additional resistance genes, and the analysis of the segments encompassing the cfr gene. Sequence analysis revealed that all plasmids harbored a 4,447-bp central region, in which cfr was bracketed by two copies of the novel insertion sequence IS Enfa4 located in the same orientation. The sequences flanking the central regions of these plasmids, including the partial tra gene regions and a ω-ε-ζ toxin-antitoxin module, exhibited &gt;95% nucleotide sequence identity to the conjugative plasmid pAMβ1 from E. faecalis . Conjugative plasmids carrying cfr appear to play an important role in the dissemination and maintenance of the multiresistance gene cfr among enterococcal isolates and possibly other species of Gram-positive bacteria.
Structural biology of exopolysaccharide secretion in bacterial biofilms

Bacterial biofilm formation is a paramount developmental process in both Gram-positive and Gram-negative species and in many pathogens has been associated with processes of horizontal gene transfer, antibiotic resistance development and pathogen persistence. Bacterial biofilms are collaborative sessile macrocolonies embedded in complex extracellular matrix that secures both mechanical resistance and a medium for intercellular exchange. 

Biogenesis platforms for the secretion of biofilm matrix components - many of which controlled directly or indirectly by the intracellular second messenger c-di-GMP - are important determinants for biofilm formation and bacterial disease, and therefore present compelling targets for the development of novel therapeutics. During my Ph.D. and post-doctoral work I studied the structure and function of c-di-GMP-sensing protein factors controling extracellular matrix production by DNA-binding at the transcription initiation level or by inside-out signalling mechanisms at the cell envelope, as well as membrane exporters involved directly in downstream matrix component secretion.

Here, I propose to apply my expertise in microbiology, protein science and structural biology to study the structure and function of exopolysaccharide secretion systems in Gram-negative species. Using Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Vibrio spp. and Escherichia coli as model organisms, my team will aim to reveal the global architecture and individual building components of several expolysaccharide-producing protein megacomplexes. We will combine X-ray crystallography, biophysical and biochemical assays, electron microscopy and in cellulo functional studies to provide a comprehensive view of extracellular matrix production that spans the different resolution levels and presents molecular blueprints for the development of novel anti-infectives. Over the last year I have laid the foundation of these studies and have demonstrated the overall feasibility of the project.
Economics of Climate Change in the Indian Sundarbans

Sundarbans is the largest mangrove forest in the world and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This area is populated by some of the world’s poorest people characterized by low levels of socio-economic indicators. However, it is one of the richest areas in the world in terms of natural resources and biodiversity. Climate change is evident here and is one of the important drivers of migration, food insecurity and poverty in this area. The basic objective of our study is to assess the socio-economic impact of climate change and its implications for availability of natural resources, and thereby to understand the adaptation needs of the people. Climate change not only impacts agricultural productivity but also the occupational structure. The decline in food security and the lack of other developmental choices in the face of climate variability are a serious threat to the economic viability of population. We have used stratified sampling techniques for data collection at household level based on pre-designed questionnaires and focus group discussion. We have tried to analyze vulnerability based on LIFE framework and log-linear regression model, and suggest some adaptation strategies to reduce vulnerability.
An analysis of performance on trisection helical baffles heat exchangers with diverse inclination angles and baffle structures

Abstract Investigations of thermo-hydraulic performance were conducted on five trisection helical baffle heat exchangers with different inclination angles, baffle shapes, or connection patterns, and one segmental baffle heat exchanger (SEG). A comparative analysis of three sector baffle schemes with inclination angles of 10° (10°S), 15° (15°S), and 20° (20°S); an ellipse baffle scheme with an inclination angle of 15° (15°E); and an axial overlap sector baffle scheme with an inclination angle of 20° (20°D) was performed. Local images were constructed to obtain pressure loss characteristics and flow field distributions. The flow field characteristics, such as the Dean vortex secondary flow and bypass leakage between adjacent baffles, are clearly shown and discussed. The same inclination angle schemes have completely different properties because of the baffle shapes or connection patterns. The performance of the end-to-end scheme is superior to that of the axial overlap scheme, and the ellipse baffle scheme is inferior to the sector baffle scheme. The 20°S scheme has the optimum comprehensive index and lowest shell-side pressure loss. The 10°S scheme has the highest shell-side Nusselt number and shell-side pressure loss, and can be selected only when heat transfer capability is very important in an engineering application.
Milestones and Challenges: Investigating Life Course of Young Women with Disabilities who Grew up in Foster Families

Abstract This paper refers to the project Quali –TYDES, GA CR No. P407/11/2009. Aim of the project is to investigate and explain how developments in European, national/local policies are impacting on the lives of young disabled adults. By combining qualitative longitudinal methods (life stories) with critical policy analysis, the project aims to generate a comparative understanding of European, national/local regimes in relation to disability and family. This paper sought to understand life course of young females with disabilities who grow up in foster families. Careful attention is paid at 2 key categories: turning points, resources and capital. The findings show that young females with disabilities participating in the study identified their experience of being accepted by their foster families as the most important turning point during their life course. Similarly support provided to them by their foster families was identified as a crucial life course element related to category resources and capital.
Face entrepreneurship. failure aversion change in europe, more than a communication campaing to create a new generation of  european entrepreneurs that can face failure and learn from it.

There is a need to change the European perception of failure, to change entrepreneurs’ attitude of fear and to replace it with an attitude of risk-taking, in order to improve entrepreneurship in Europe
FACE aims to promote entrepreneurship and diminish the fear of failure, it invites the public to take the path of entrepreneurship through the use of gamification methods. We encourage aspiring entrepreneurs and all those who are embarking on the journey together with us to take the path in an interactive, proactive and innovative way, thus diminishing the fear of entrepreneurship. To this end, we will: 
1. Turn to a group of experts from the entrepreneurship ecosystem, in order to define the project’s content and offer guidance
2. Create a game with 63 squares that reflect the different stages of entrepreneurship.  A web series provides the narrative thread that runs through the game; it will be fun and get people hooked. Entrepreneurs, investors, ...offer their opinions on the storyline, on the success stories and lessons learnt, while everyone can participate and win points towards their final score
3. Organise 7 events in 7 European countries, every time a square representing a setback or failure is reached - at this critical time we need to get together and “FACE it”. The events will be dynamic and participatory.Those entrepreneurs with the highest scores will get their prize at the event
4. Launch an important communication action in order to make a great impact in Europe, via social netnetworks, the media and different partners who work together with us, including Wayra (Telefonica) and Microsoft who offer their full support: infrastructures across Europe, specific actions, expertise in entrepreneurship and dissemination
We will involve the public while having an impact on them, promote entrepreneurship and reach conclusions that help us to understand what causes the fear of entrepreneurship and thus take the necessary measures for a long-term action in Europe.
