Accento (active clearance control design and characterization). advanced investigations on different low pressure turbine active clearance control (lptacc) system by means of cfd and experiments.

This proposal refers to the Clean Sky 2 topic JTI-CS2-2018-CfP08-ENG-01-36 “Optimizing impingement cooling”. The objective of ACCENTO (Active Clearance Control dEsigN and characTerizatiOn) project is to carry out a series of advanced investigations on different Low Pressure Turbine Active Clearance Control (LPTACC) system pipes and target plates. The aim is to develop design/verification procedures and models to confidently predict the impinging system aero-thermal behaviour. This goal will be pursued by means of dedicated experimental tests and numerical simulations. The great ambition of the ACCENTO program is to design a modular test rig able to accommodate long ACC pipes (0.8 m to 1.5 m) which will be operated in engine representative conditions. The rig will be able to provide reliable data for impingement cooling heat transfer characterization in a wide range of operating points. The radiative heat transfer impact on the system performance will be also accounted for. The rig will provide high quality data in conjunction with controlled operating conditions to validate CFD tools for the heat transfer and, more in general, for the ACC system characterization. The expected outcomes of the project are the design, the commissioning and the testing of a modular rig for ACC heat transfer process characterization, the validation of CFD methodologies for such systems analysis and the development of design correlations for both the impingement holes discharge coefficient and for the jets Nusselt number. Moreover, thanks to the modularity of the developed rig, future and successive tests and analyses will be possible.
Research on beekeepers income estimation based on honey production.

The paper aimed to optimize beekeepers income based on marketed honey production. In this purpose, a sample of 37 apiaries was studied in the year 2011. The average honey production was 1.76 tons per apiary and beekeepers income coming from commercialized honey counted for Lei thousand 13.78. The correlation coefficient between the two indicators was a positive and strong one (r xy =0.885). The production function y=0.459+7.568 x has been calculated based on linear regression and least square method. It has been used in order to estimate beekeepers income for the period 2012-2016. As conclusion, an increase of honey production by 10% annually will assure 2.82 production tons in 2016 as well as Lei thousand 21.87 income per apiary in the year 2016, meaning by 58% more than in 2011. In this purpose, beekeepers have to raise more bee families, to assure them a corresponding feeding and maintenance, to increase honey production and sell it at a higher price.
Spatial phase encoding exploiting the Bloch–Siegert shift effect

The present work introduces an alternative to the conventional B0-gradient spatial phase encoding technique. By applying far off-resonant radiofrequency (RF) pulses, a spatially dependent phase shift is introduced to the on-resonant transverse magnetization. This so-called Bloch-Siegert (BS) phase shift has been recently used for B1(+)-mapping. The current work presents the theoretical background for the BS spatial encoding technique (BS-SET) using RF-gradients.Since the BS-gradient leads to nonlinear encoding, an adapted reconstruction method was developed to obtain undistorted images. To replace conventional phase encoding gradients, BS-SET was implemented in a two-dimensional (2D) spin echo sequence on a 0.5 T portable MR scanner.A 2D spin echo (SE) measurement imaged along a single dimension using the BS-SET was compared to a conventional SE 2D measurement. The proposed reconstruction method yielded undistorted images.BS-gradients were demonstrated as a feasible option for spatial phase encoding. Furthermore, undistorted BS-SET images could be obtained using the proposed reconstruction method.
Las Enfibraturas de Ipiranga

El siguiente ensayo analiza âAs enfibraturas do Ipirangaâ, poema final de PaulicÃ©ia desvairada, de MÃ¡rio de Andrade. El poema escrito en 1921, que imita la forma de un oratorio profano interpretado por el conjunto de la poblaciÃ³n en el centro de la ciudad de SÃ£o Paulo, ofrece una visiÃ³n anticipatoria, alegÃ³rica y problemÃ¡tica del movimiento modernista de 1922, en la que se hacen presentes disputas estÃ©ticas atravesadas por choques sociales en el anfiteatro abierto de la ciudad. Los impasses del proceso de modernizaciÃ³n en Brasil, presentes en el poema, continÃºan resonando, como un eco, cien aÃ±os despuÃ©s de su escritura.
Physics beyond the standard proton

The Large Hadron Collider (LHC) at CERN is leading the exploration of the high-energy frontier. Its high-luminosity phase is just around the corner and the validity of our current theory of elementary particles, the Standard Model (SM), will be probed to an unprecedented level. The hunt for physics beyond the SM will be pursued via direct searches of new particles that are light enough to be produced at the LHC. At the same time new physics could manifest itself indirectly through deviations from SM theoretical predictions, induced by new particles whose masses are well above the scale probed by the LHC. The success of indirect searches requires the highest possible level of precision in three complementary components: experimental data, theoretical predictions and - crucially - a robust framework to globally interpret all subtle deviations from the SM predictions that might arise. 

PBSP will provide such a framework by:
1. quantitatively establishing whether high-scale new physics effects can be mimicked by low-scale non-perturbative physics, and therefore inadvertently absorbed into the parametrisation of the proton structure
2. devising a new framework to deliver a global fit of a model-independent parametrisation of high-scale new physics, including several datasets that provide complementary experimental information
3. expanding such a framework to exploit the precise LHC measurements to constrain simultaneously the structure of the proton and new physics degrees of freedom

PBSP involves several areas of particle physics, ranging from fits to the proton’s structure to effective quantum field theories and a comprehensive study of beyond the SM phenomenology. My ERC-funded project will demonstrate that the interplay between indirect new physics searches and the knowledge of the non-perturbative structure of colliding protons is essential to fully exploit the LHC physics potential.
Evolution and success of the multi-drug resistant m. tuberculosis sit41 (lam7-tur) lineage

Mycobacterium tuberculosis (MTB) is the cause of tuberculosis (TB) in humans. Identification of the MTB lineage is of importance to tuberculosis control as it has shown that strain type may play a role in disease outcome, variation in vaccine efficacy and emergence of drug resistance. MTB strains of Beijing and Latin-American-Mediterranean (LAM) lineages were associated with hyper-transmissibility and drug resistance. In 2013 the European Center for Diseases Prevention and Control (ECDC) effectively lunched molecular surveillance of MDR TB at EU level. The typing of M. tuberculosis strains in Bulgaria confirmed strong association between MDR and SIT41 (LAM7-TUR) [SIT – Spoligo International Type] MTB lineage. Statistically 97% of the TB patients infected with drug sensitive SIT41 MTB strain develop MDR tuberculosis. SIT41 is marker genotype for MDR TB. Urgent measures are needed to control and limit the expansion of the SIT41 lineage. We aim to promote personalised treatment of tuberculosis based on the genotype lineage of the TB pathogen and reducing the TB multidrug-resistant burden. The project has two objectives. First: Application of the next-generation sequencing data for genotyping of M. tuberculosis strains based on SNP data for tracking the origins, evolution and success of the SIT41 (LAM7-TUR) lineage, and second: Development of rapid screening methodology to identify the SIT41 (LAM7-TUR) genotype including mutation analysis to first and second line tuberculostatics drug resistance. Objectives will be achieved by fostering radically new technologies, by exploring novel ideas for MTB genotyping and improvement of the classical TB treatment scheme.
The project is timely because it has relevance to the Work Program Horizon 2020 focus area: Personalising health and care. For the first time we will promote personalised treatment associated with specific MTB genotype. The proposal is in line with the EU Health Strategy, ECDC, WHO and other TB control programs.
Vonoprazan Triple and Dual Therapy for Helicobacter pylori Infection in the United States and Europe: Randomized Clinical Trial

Novel, effective treatments for Helicobacter pylori infection are needed. This study evaluated the efficacy of vonoprazan, a potassium-competitive acid blocker, vs standard treatment on H pylori eradication in the United States and Europe.In a randomized, controlled, phase 3 trial, treatment-naïve adults with H pylori infection were randomized 1:1:1 to open-label vonoprazan dual therapy (20 mg vonoprazan twice daily; 1 g amoxicillin 3 times daily), or double-blind triple therapy twice a day (vonoprazan 20 mg or lansoprazole 30 mg; amoxicillin 1 g; clarithromycin 500 mg) for 14 days. The primary outcome was noninferiority in eradication rates in patients without clarithromycin- and amoxicillin-resistant strains (noninferiority margin = 10%). Secondary outcomes assessed superiority in eradication rates in clarithromycin-resistant infections, and in all patients.A total of 1046 patients were randomized. Primary outcome eradication rates (nonresistant strains): vonoprazan triple therapy 84.7%, dual therapy 78.5%, vs lansoprazole triple therapy 78.8% (both noninferior; difference 5.9%; 95% confidence interval [CI], -0.8 to 12.6; P < .001; difference -0.3%; 95% CI, -7.4 to 6.8; P = .007, respectively). Eradication rates in clarithromycin-resistant infections: vonoprazan triple therapy 65.8%, dual therapy 69.6%, vs lansoprazole triple therapy 31.9% (both superior; difference 33.9%; 95% CI, 17.7-48.1; P < .001; difference 37.7%; 95% CI, 20.5-52.6; P < .001, respectively). In all patients, vonoprazan triple and dual therapy were superior to lansoprazole triple therapy (80.8% and 77.2%, respectively, vs 68.5%, difference 12.3%; 95% CI, 5.7-18.8; P < .001; difference 8.7%; 95% CI, 1.9-15.4; P = .013). Overall frequency of treatment-emergent adverse events was similar between vonoprazan and lansoprazole regimens (P > .05).Both vonoprazan-based regimens were superior to proton pump inhibitor-based triple therapy in clarithromycin-resistant strains and in the overall study population.gov; NCT04167670.
Antibodies with a split personality

Spikes on the surface of HIV to which antibodies can bind are sparse. One of nature's solutions is to sometimes produce antibodies that bind tightly to a spike with one arm and grab another structure with the other arm. See Letter p.591
 Most antibodies are highly specific, binding with high affinity to a single foreign antigen. However, an analysis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) envelope glycoprotein-specific monoclonal antibodies from infected subjects provides evidence for a surprisingly high degree of polyreactivity. Of 134 different antibodies directed at the gp140 envelope glycoprotein cloned from six patients, 75% were polyreactive, binding with high affinity to one gp140 site and with lower affinity to other sites on the viral surface. Relatively few gp140 glycoprotein spikes are displayed on the surface of HIV, so homotypic bivalent antibody binding is disfavoured and 'heteroligation' may help to improve net antibody affinity in such instances.

How Theology Takes Shape in the Faith of Young People: An Introduction to Youth Theology Based on the Example of an Empirical-Theological Study Among Young People

How does theology take shape in the lives of young people? This is an interesting and challenging topic. Over the last few years, this has been discussed on two levels and in different theological disciplines - on one hand within the context of a theology of young people and on the other hand in empirical studies. This paper will combine these levels together and by doing so, lend an insight into the current status of research. Therefore, this investigation focuses on the question of how theology is displayed in the lives of young people as defined by themselves, and is structured as follows: (1) A theoretical framework is set by an introduction into youth theology considered as a subjective setting for young people’s faith. (2) A description of the empirical survey of the study “Spirituality of Young People“ and a commentary on the most important results. (3) Finally, a discussion on the position of the results within a wider context of mission research and the results’ significance for youth theology.
mediterrane Faszination.

Am 22. Januar 1891 verabschiedete Kaiser Wilhelm II in Cuxhaven den Passagierdampfer Augusta Victoria, der zwei Monate lang das Mittelmeer und einige seiner wichtigsten Städte auskundschaften sollte, und läutete damit das Zeitalter der Vergnügungs-Schifffahrten ein. An Bord waren 241 betuchte Passagiere, unter ihnen der Zeichner Ch. W. Allers, der seine Reiserinnerungen in Backschisch. Die erste deutsche Kreuzfahrt in das Mittelmeer dokumentiert und damit ein einmaliges Zeugnis über die mediterrane Faszination im imperialistischen Zeitalter abgibt. Auf der Grundlage eines eurozentrischen bzw. nationalen Gefühls wird der Mittelmeerraum von dem Mikrokosmos der deutschen Reisegesellschaft als naturräumliche und ideologische Einheit wahrgenommen. Die kulturellen Gemeinsamkeiten bestimmen dabei die Erfahrung der Fremde und vermengen vermeintlich mediterrane Spezifika mit Wunschprojektionen der Tourismuswerbung und kolonialen Propaganda.
Distribution and fluxes of methane in tropical rivers and lagoons of eastern Hainan

Methane(CH4) is an important greenhouse gas,which can influence the Earth's climate change both directly and indirectly.Distributions and fluxes of CH4 in rivers and lagoons of eastern Hainan were obtained during the survey from March 27th to April 15th in 2009.Surface waters of the three rivers(Wenchang,Wenjiao and Wanquan rivers) were over-saturated in CH4 with respect to atmospheric equilibrium [(60664±25118)%,(38582±26339)% and(9472±5594)%,respectively].Surface waters of the lagoons were also over-saturated in CH4,but at much lower levels than those in the rivers.The dissolved CH4 in the lagoons mainly come from riverine input,inputs from groundwater and fringing mangrove forest,and in-situ production;the main sinks of methane in the lagoons were oxidation and outgassing.The estimated air–water CH4 fluxes using the RC01 formula of Wenchang and Wanquan rivers were 5967.0±5142.1 and 496.2±335.9μmol.m 2.d 1,respectively.Air–water CH4 fluxes of the logoons were 528.7±625.0,441.7±473.3,26.6±21.6,and 1287.8±1453.3μmol.m 2.d 1 for Bamen bay,Bo’ao,Xiaohai,and Laoyehai,respectively.Estuaries and lagoons in eastern Hainan are persistently supersaturated in CH4,which indicates that they are net sources of atmospheric CH4.
Realizing leibniz’s dream: child languages as a mirror of the mind

Children around the globe acquire language and with it the human ability to communicate complex thoughts. This project develops a new linguistic theory to explain language and its acquisition. Our central hypothesis is that language radically compresses thought structures to sound or sign. While current theories assume a parallel between thought and language or meaning-preserving transformations, we assume that thought is mapped to language by only realizing some pieces of conceptual representations.  Adult language is hyper-efficient at compressing information. For this reason, Leibniz and many others over the last 300 years have been unable to agree on the primitives of human thought.  We predict that child languages are a better mirror of the human mind. Our initial evidence suggests that children are not able to compress conceptual representations as efficiently as adults.  Sometimes children produce more material than adults, leading to so-called commission errors, which have never been systematically investigated. Furthermore, comprehension is easier for children when there is a one-to-one match between language and thought.  To test our central hypothesis and specify how conceptual structure is compressed into language, we carry out a series of at least twelve targeted language acquisition studies on a global scale. We have recruited collaborators for more than 50 languages from 21 different language families, two sign languages and two creoles to carry out our studies.  With this data, we can formulate a complete formal model of the semantic primitives, their combination into conceptual structures, the morphological compression mechanism, and the acquisition process within our model. To accomplish these goals, we rely on insights from formal semantics, generative syntax, distributed morphology, and several other linguistic frameworks. As part of our work, we also create the first open, global research collaboration to conduct language acquisition studies.
Millimeter-Wave networking and sensing for beyond 5g

The global telecommunications market has become tremendously competitive due to the emergence of new Asian players and saturation of traditional products (e.g., mobile broadband), which has decelerated the growth of the EU's telecommunications market. Thus, without dramatic innovation to open up new markets, EU's telecommunications industry is at risk. However, new markets such as industry 4.0 and autonomous driving demands extremely high data rates which can only be provided at mmWave frequencies. To successfully overcome mmWave challenges, a closely integrated, skilled and multi-disciplinary team is needed to co-create innovative technology and applications. The ETN for MIllimeter-wave NeTworking and Sensing for Beyond 5G (MINTS) offers the first training program on mmWave networks that covers the full stack from physical layer to application. MINTS is an inter-sectoral and interdisciplinary cluster of excellence formed by electrical engineers and computer scientists aiming at innovative solutions for future mmWave networks and has pooled leading members of large EU initiatives (5G PPP), EU projects (ERC, H2020), and major telecommunications manufacturers (NOKIA, Sony, NEC), operators (e.g., Italtel, Proximus) and prototype providers (NI). MINTS lays the foundation for resilient mmWave networks by enhancing physical-layer robustness via dynamic multi-beamforming techniques (WP1) and leveraging the directionality and broad communication bandwidth of mmWave systems for accurate environmental sensing (WP2). MINTS addresses the networking issues of dense mmWave systems through advanced interference control and secure algorithms (WP3) and devises application-specific solutions for emerging application of mmWave communications, including industry 4.0, V2X and augmented reality (WP4). The 15 ESRs in MINTS benefits from a comprehensive soft-skills training (WP5) and a tailored dissemination and exploitation strategy (WP6) which will boost their careers.
Interactive music science collaborative activities

iMuSciCA will – through engagement in music activities – support mastery of core academic content on STEM subjects (Physics, Geometry, Mathematics, and Technology) for secondary school students (aged 12-16) alongside with the development of their creativity and deeper learning skills. To reach this goal, iMuSciCA introduces new methodologies and innovative technologies supporting active, discovery-based, collaborative, personalised, and more engaging learning. These technologies provide students and teachers with opportunities for collaboration, co-creation, and collective knowledge building. In particular, iMuSciCA will deliver a suite of software tools and services on top of market-ready new enabling technologies integrated on a web-based platform. These include: a 3D design environment for personalized virtual musical instruments; advanced music generation and processing technologies to apply and interpret related physics and mathematics principles; gesture and pen-enabled multimodal interaction functionality for music co-creation and performance; and 3D printing for realizing the actual/tangible physical instrument. The platform will be complemented with a suite of interdisciplinary project/problem based educational scenarios for STEAM integrating innovative and stimulating methods in teaching and learning. The iMuSciCA framework will be pilot-tested and evaluated in real learning contexts by a substantial number of students and teachers in three European countries (Belgium, Greece, and France). The project will be implemented in close collaboration of academic and industrial partners, bringing together existing technologies and promoting ground-breaking research in STEAM pedagogy and the involved core enabling technology. As such, iMuSciCA will be a pioneering approach using music for fostering creativity and deeper learning, thereby setting new grounds in the European curricula of STEAM.
Tuning pipelined scientific data analyses for efficient multicore execution

Scientific data analyses often apply a pipelined sequence of computational tasks to independent datasets. Each task in the pipeline captures and processes a dataset element, may be dependent on other tasks in the pipeline, may have a different computational complexity and may be filtered out from progressing in the pipeline. The goal of this work is to develop an efficient scheduler that automatically (i) manages a parallel data reading and an adequate data structure creation, (ii) adaptively defines the most efficient order of pipeline execution of the tasks, considering their inter-dependence and both the filtering out rate and the computational weight, and (iii) manages the parallel execution of the computational tasks in a multicore system, applied to the same or to different dataset elements. A real case study data analysis application from High Energy Physics (HEP) was used to validate the efficiency of this scheduler. Preliminary results show an impressive performance improvement of the pipeline tuning when compared to the original sequential HEP code (up to a 35x speedup in a dual 12-core system), and also show significant performance speedups over conventional parallelization approaches of this case study application (up to 10x faster in the same system).
