Liens entre Brésil et Haïti: Stratégies de Reproduction des Familles, Réseaux Socio-Économiques et Voye Kòb

RÉSUMÉ Cet article présente une recherche sur l’action économique, sociale et culturelle de transférer de l’argent – voye kòb – des migrants haïtiens – dyaspora – résidant au Brésil en faveur des familles résidant en Haïti. À la lumière de la notion de stratégie de reproduction et à travers des entretiens semi-structurés et l’observation d’une communauté transnationale haïtienne de la région métropolitaine de Belo Horizonte – Esmeraldas, MG –, nous essayons de démontrer que l’émigration précède et dispose d’une certaine autonomie des facteurs naturels – tremblement de terre, par exemple. Et aussi de démontrer que l’action économique de voye kòb de la communauté haïtienne est un acte répétitif de rétribution sans calcul économique, réalisé au milieu des stratégies de reproduction sociale du groupe familial pour reconvertir les formes d’insertion sociale et économique en Haïti.
Bobbin conveyor with vertical and horizontal runs includes turning section with conveyor stabilizing roller to resist transverse forces

A conveyor (24) has a transverse diverting section (38) in the guide slot (36) for the bobbin carriers (32) so that the bobbins (18,18') are clear of each other as they rotate from the vertical to the horizontal section. To resist the transverse forces (F) a passive stabilizing device, e.g. a roller (56) with a high friction surface, is provided.
Cultural resources in the mountain areas

The protection of the cultural heritage in the mountain areas is of vital importance for ensuring the cultural diversity of Europe and saving local traditions and customs for the next generations. However, this field is often neglected and local communities have insufficient potential and funds to ensure sustainable use of cultural heritage. Therefore, more support should be provided at the regional level. The aim of CRinMA  is to improve the regional policies in order to provide  better support  for the mountain areas with intangible and tangible cultural resources. 
Based on the previous profound experience in the implementation of the cross-border programmes, the CRinMA partners have decided to focus on the mountain border areas, assuming that many of the challenges are similar within one geographical area on both sides of the border (or regardless of the borders). All CRinMA regions are eligible within at least one cross-border programme and face challenges typical for the border areas. At the same time, all CRinMA partners can influence the stakeholders from both sides of the borders, which will bring a new dimension to the project.
The thematic focus of the project will lie on the heritage related to the mountain folk architecture, traditions, customs, and skills. In some European regions, including Malopolska, Podkarpackie and Presovsky Kraj that kind of heritage is protected by open-air museums. The partners would like to find the solutions on how to make those museums more lively and better integrated with the local communities, which would lead to better promotion and protection not only of tangible, but also of intangible heritage. The exchange of experiences and transfer of good practices between different regions and mountain areas (Carpats, Alps and Gêres-Xurés Cross Border Park) will lead to the elaboration of practical solutions to facilitate valorisation and better protection of the precious cultural heritage in those remote localities.
INTERNAL SUTURING DEVICE LEG SUSPENSION

A suture delivery device (100) for insertion into an internal tissue wall opening and delivery of a suturing apparatus to the internal tissue wall is provided. In one embodiment, the suture delivery device comprises at least one carrier tube (120), at least one leg (110), and a tensioning device (115, 415, 416). The at least one carrier tube is configured to house a pusher (130) and a suturing apparatus (140, 150), the carrier tube having an expulsion end. When the at least one leg is in an open position, the tensioning device exerts tension on the leg such that the leg is movably suspended and can pivot about the tensioning device in response to contacting a tissue wall, and the pusher and suturing apparatus are in an delivery configuration for delivery of the suturing apparatus to the internal tissue wall.
Control Methods of Virus Diseases in the Mediterranean Basin

Viral pathogens form an important group of obligatory parasites of plants. About 977 plant viruses have been described and classified in 14 families and 70 genera. This group of pathogens has complex interactions with their host plants and vectors due to their integration in the molecular mechanisms of living cells, interfering with our ability to manage the malfunctions of virus infected plants by curing means. These constraints led to the perception that the best protection from virus diseases is by prevention. Many cultural procedures used for virus control are aimed at eradicating or altering one or more of the primary participants in the transmission process (vector, virus source plants, and the crop) or preventing their coming together. Part of these control measures were devised to reduce to a minimum, the number of inoculative vector individuals that are active in the crop or interfere with the transmission process at any of its phases, thereby arresting virus spread. Advances in plant virology and a better understanding of plant vector interactions provide strategies based on the formation of mechanical and optical barriers that interfere with the ability of the viral pathogen or its vector to reach the plant and initiate an epidemic.
Dynamic configuration adjustment in the tma

DYNCAT aims at enabling more environmentally friendly and more predictable flight profiles in the TMA, namely on approach, by supporting the pilots in configuration management.

Approach and take-off operations at busy airports are virtually always less noise and fuel efficient than possible due very rigid constraints imposed on the flight profiles by ATC (concerning both vertical profiles and speed regimes), but also due to lack of support to the pilots for dealing with given restrictions/constraints and actual weather in the optimum way. Current FMS functionalities do not support configuration management very well, only a simplified, static high-lift sequence with a fixed order is available. The adequacy of actual procedure flown depends very much on the pilots' skills, but also on their access to information such as actual wind situation and ATC intents.

Objectives:
•	analyse impact of current mismatch of aircraft and ATC procedures on flyability (pilot workload, safety) and environmental impact (fuel burn and CO2; noise)
•	propose amendments to on-board and ground procedures including identification of necessary enablers (technical, regulatory)
•	quantify ecological and economical potential of proposed improvements, including the prediction of 4D Trajectories, through exemplary analysis and early prototype simulation of newly designed configuration management functionality

The study will be done exemplarily using the A320 family as reference aircraft and the development of new FMS functionalities for the optimisation of the high-lift system sequencing during approach as use case. Access to recordings of actual flight operational data, associated ATC instructions issued, weather data and noise measurements for a large number of operations in Swiss airspace on one hand and the implementation of the improved functionalities on an industrial test platform on the other allow for high validity and relevance of the results.
Fast and effective diagnostic test for the early detection of residual tumours to prevent cancer recurrence

The main concern in cancer treatment is its high rate of recurrence. It may happen soon or years after treatment and it’s very hard to predict/prevent. Removing residual tumour cells is the best way to avoid recurrence, so identifying new tumour markers is the most pressing demand. We have developed SenolT, an innovative diagnostic test for the early detection and monitoring of senescent cells, which appear after chemotherapy/radiotherapy and are directly associated to cancer recurrence. SenolT detects all kinds of tumours, but we focus on pancreatic and triple negative breast (TNBC) cancers because prognosis is very poor for patients and recurrence is their main cause of mortality. Our customers will be pharmaceutical companies, so we have already contacted several of them in the sector. The initial target market will be TNBC/Pancreatic cancer patients that received chemotherapy/radiotherapy in the EU & USA. Competitors focus on liquid biopsy tests and cancer-related protein markers (expensive & slow to get results). No other companies are working in the detection of senescent cells as a diagnostic method to predict recurrence. Senolytic Therapeutics is a company that develops a new class of medicines by targeting damaged cells. Our mission is to advance our portfolio of therapies to clinical trials and improve the lives of patients and families. Our SenolT proprietary technology will be developed and de-risked through Phase2 Clinical trials and then license the validated technologies to pharma companies, to finalise their development and bring them to the market. By 2025 we expect: A) 15% royalties’ rate on net sales with a unit price to healthcare systems of €800; B) 20% market share (70,000 people) from an expected total of TNBC/pancreatic cancer population of over 352,000 in USA & EU; C) TAM growing up to about €57 m; D) NPV of €27.2 m (10% discount rate) and an IRR of 120%; E) Cumulative EBITDA of about €44 m; F) 20 newly created jobs, mainly in R&D and sales.
A Trajetória da Normatização do Turismo em Terras Indígenas: práticas do Estado e dos povos indígenas

O turismo envolve uma complexidade de relações nos territórios onde ocorre. A visitação turística já está presente em terras e/ou territórios dos povos indígenas no Brasil há algumas décadas, envolvendo uma complexidade de relações que entrelaçam estes povos e o Estado. Este artigo teve o objetivo de contextualizar brevemente o processo histórico de relações entre o Estado, os povos indígenas e as iniciativas de visitação turística, com um enfoque na elaboração e início de implantação da normativa desta visitação e seus potenciais impactos. Nesse sentido, foi realizada uma pesquisa de abordagem qualitativa, por meio de estudo bibliográfico e documental e descrição analítica com foco nas relações entre os povos indígenas e o Estado em relação ao turismo. Identificou-se na trajetória do turismo em terras e/ou territórios dos povos indígenas, propostas de rupturas das formas de relações entre os povos indígenas, Estado e outras sociedades, evidenciando a necessidade do diálogo e a coexistência de diferentes formas de gestão e práticas do turismo.
Temporal metabolic partitioning of the yeast and protist cellular networks: the cell is a global scale-invariant (fractal or self-similar) multioscillator

Britton Chance, electronics expert when a teenager, became an enthusiastic student of biological oscillations, passing on this enthusiasm to many students and colleagues, including one of us (DL). This historical essay traces BC's influence through the accumulated work of DL to DL's many collaborators. The overall temporal organization of mass-energy, information, and signaling networks in yeast in self-synchronized continuous cultures represents, until now, the most characterized example of in vivo elucidation of time structure. Continuous online monitoring of dissolved gases by direct measurement (membrane-inlet mass spectrometry, together with NAD(P)H and flavin fluorescence) gives strain-specific dynamic information from timescales of minutes to hours as does two-photon imaging. The predominantly oscillatory behavior of network components becomes evident, with spontaneously synchronized cellular respiration cycles between discrete periods of increased oxygen consumption (oxidative phase) and decreased oxygen consumption (reductive phase). This temperature-compensated ultradian clock provides coordination, linking temporally partitioned functions by direct feedback loops between the energetic and redox state of the cell and its growing ultrastructure. Multioscillatory outputs in dissolved gases with 13 h, 40 min, and 4 min periods gave statistical self-similarity in power spectral and relative dispersional analyses: i.e., complex nonlinear (chaotic) behavior and a functional scale-free (fractal) network operating simultaneously over several timescales.
Achievable qubit rates for quantum-information wires

Suppose Alice and Bob have access to two separated regions, respectively, of a system of electrons moving in the presence of a regular one-dimensional lattice of binding atoms. We consider the problem of communicating as much quantum information, as measured by the qubit rate, through this quantum information wire as possible. We describe a protocol whereby Alice and Bob can achieve a qubit rate for these systems which is proportional to N^(-1/3) qubits per unit time, where N is the number of lattice sites. Our protocol also functions equally in the presence of interactions modelled via the t-J and Hubbard models.
Air quality information services

Over 70% of the European population lives in cities and this percentage grows over time. Air pollution is a threat to health and many cities do not satisfy regulatory requirements of sufficiently clean air. Air quality (AQ) forecasts with high spatial resolution usable at city level are an important component to cope with this global challenge. Today such forecasts are only available using expensive dispersion models, too complex to be operated by many city authorities and similar non-scientific users. Major obstacles are high cost and intricacies of daily operation.
The AQUISS innovation idea is to offer a service which delivers EU-wide AQ data (including forecasts) for urban users sufficiently accurate for practical applications but avoiding the use of complex dispersion models. For this purpose existing methods of spatial statistics are used to enrich two existing EU-wide data resources: Airbase (European Environment Agency) and CAMS (Copernicus).
Users are city councils, media (e.g. local radio stations), weather services and value-adding SME’s, who want to use AQ forecasts in their business without operating complex modelling services themselves. Service delivery will be in a cloud-based fashion, making it significantly simpler than today and using new business models. The commercial potential is up to several hundred users in Europe.
All elements of the business idea exist at TRL7-9. The technical innovation is to combine existing EU-wide AQ data sources with statistical methods to provide high resolution forecasts. Innovation in service delivery is to use a cloud-environment relieving users from daily operation and offering interfaces for value-adding third parties.
The project concentrates on the feasibility assessment of the business model, potential licensing schemes for different customers and practical viability of the innovation idea. If phase 1 turns out realistic results regarding this viability, phase 2 or third party funding will be sought.
The impact of high zinc intake on the copper status of dairy cows in New Zealand

To determine the effect of a high Zn intake on the concentration of Cu in the liver of dairy cows.Sixty non-pregnant, non-lactating, mixed-age Friesian dairy cows were randomised into four groups: unsupplemented control; thrice weekly oral treatment with 350 mg Cu (equivalent to 150 mg Cu/day) as CuSO(4) x 5H(2)O; a ZnO bolus releasing 6.628 g Zn/day given on Days 0 and 28; and oral treatment with Cu and ZnO boluses. The cows were fed baled silage for the duration of the study (56 days). On Days -12, 14, 28, 42 and 56 liver biopsies were collected for determination of concentrations of Cu, and blood samples for measurement of Cu and Zn in serum.Mean concentrations of Cu in the liver of unsupplemented control cows decreased from an initial 717 (SE 108.5) to 396 (SE 88.0) micromol/kg fresh tissue on Day 28, and then increased to 542 (SE 105.3) micromol/kg fresh tissue on Day 42, before decreasing to 434 (SE 81.6) micromol/kg fresh tissue on Day 56. Administration of ZnO resulted in no change in the concentration of Cu in liver compared with controls. Supplementing with 150 mg Cu/day significantly increased the concentration of Cu in liver, compared with controls, to 1,074 (SE 105.2) micromol/ kg fresh tissue on Day 56. Treatment with ZnO significantly reduced concentrations of Cu in liver on Day 56, compared with Cu-supplemented cows, to 786 (SE 107.7) micromol/kg fresh tissue. The treatments had no effect on concentrations of Cu in serum. In cows given the ZnO, mean concentrations of Zn in serum increased from 17 (SE 0.6) on Day 0 to 30 (SE 1.7) micromol/L on Day 14, then decreased to 20 (SE 1.3) micromol/L on Day 28, increased to 40 (SE 2.9) micromol/L on Day 42, then decreased to 24 (1.16) micromol/L on Day 56. In cows given ZnO plus Cu, concentrations of Zn in serum were significantly greater than in cows only given ZnO on Day 41 (46 (SE 2.71) vs 35 (SE 3.23) micromol/L, respectively). Mean concentrations of Cu, Mo and Zn in the baled silage were 4.4, 0.5 and 21 mg/kg dry matter (DM), respectively.High Zn intakes used in the prevention of facial eczema in dairy cows had little effect on concentrations of Cu in liver when the Cu intake was low, but decreased the efficacy of a Cu supplement by about 50%.When using Zn as a prophylactic treatment for facial eczema the level of Cu supplementation should be adjusted, which may mean that in some situations it is recommended not to supplement cows with Cu.
Cost-efficient sensor deployment in indoor space with obstacles

In this paper, we tackle the problem to achieve k-coverage of a target indoor space with obstacles, that is, any point in the target monitoring area has a line-of-sight to and is located in the sensing range r <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> of at least k sensors. We propose heuristic algorithms for computing a deployment pattern achieving the k-coverage in an arbitrary 3D target space with stationary and mobile obstacles, while minimizing the overall deployment cost. For the case with only stationary obstacles, we propose a greedy algorithm that puts sensor nodes one by one on a grid point of the deployable area in the descending order of the cost-performance value (i.e., how many monitoring points are covered by putting a sensor at the deployment point per unit deployment cost). In order to extend the algorithm for the case with a mobile obstacle, we define mobile k-coverage that guarantees k-coverage of a target space for arbitrary position of a mobile obstacle, then provide a sufficient condition for the mobile k-coverage: the half-sphere of radius r <sub xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">s</sub> centered at a monitoring point bounded by the vertical plane containing the point includes at least k sensor nodes. Based on this condition, we propose a heuristic algorithm that puts at least one sensor node in each π over k+1 spherical wedge for each monitoring point. With the proposed algorithms, we have computed the sensor nodes position in an existing indoor environment and confirmed that the obtained WSN deployment in the real space accurately achieves k-coverage.
Self-Aware cpsocs with hierarchical goal management

SoCs (System-on-Chip) constitute the basis of embedded systems, are highly complex and require thorough orchestration of different goals across operating system, compiler and architecture layers. State-of-the-art approaches tend to focus on a single aspect, while other critical objectives are neglected. There is no centralized arbiter that considers the priority and significance of objectives and requirements of each application, as the objectives of different applications may be overlapping or contradicting. 

The main research objective of this project is to propose a self-aware SoC platform with hierarchical goal management (HGM). To the best of the fellow's knowledge, this project is the first systematic approach to manage SoCs considering an arbitrary number of objectives in a complex hierarchy of competing goals and sub-goals. To this end, Cyber-Physical System-on-Chip (CPSoC), a sensor- and actuator-rich multiprocessor SoC platform developed at UC Irvine (UCI), will be used in cooperation with the UCI and TU Wien (TUW) groups. The stepping stones towards this approach will be explored in the disciplines of control theory and cognitive science by utilizing supervisory control, self-awareness, and machine learning methods. 

The fellow will spend two years at UCI to gain a solid understanding of hierarchical control systems and develop the basic concepts of HGM on the CPSoC platform in cooperation with TUW. Then, he will spend the third year at TUW to further develop the concepts, reinforce the system with self-awareness and online learning, and apply them in application scenarios. At TUW, he will gain a solid understanding and undertake high-level training in cognitive science while exploiting it to enhance the management strategy. This enables him to emerge from the project with new skills, and the capability to develop his career by establishing a unique position in the academia, as a competent researcher in the field of embedded and cyber-physical systems.
Lightweight coordinated defence against interest flooding attacks in NDN

Named-Data Networking (NDN) is a promising architecture for future Internet. However, routers and content providers in NDN can be targets for a new DDoS attack called the Interest Flooding Attack (IFA). As a consequence, affected routers drop legitimate interest packets. We argue that IFA can be defended effectively when it is detected and mitigated, at early stage, based on timely and aggregated information of exchanged packets and forwarding states. Towards this end, we adapt CoMon, a framework that we developed formerly to coordinate caching-related decisions in NDN. This choice is motivated by CoMon's proven ability to realize efficient, yet lightweight, coordination. A preliminary evaluation confirms the effectiveness of our solution against IFAs.
