Commercial validation of iprocell: a novel modular assembly practice

iPROCELL has been developed to meet an identified need to improve for economies of scale within the electric vehicle (EV) production market. The new market we are developing is a world first, sitting between manual manufacturing and full production line assembly. Neither existing solutions are cost effective with the current levels of EVs being produced.

Our solution is a fully automated final assembly cell, with 3 autonomous robots situated around a central industry build location. Our main innovation is our method of assembly, the 3 robots work symbiotically to assemble modules into finished products. This design provides a footprint that is 12 times smaller than traditional production lines. We have incorporated our state of the art gripper technology for fully adaptable programmable robotic heads that can accommodate 12 different design options, allowing assembly of small batches in a cost effective manner.  Our modular format allows fully flexible manufacturing, appealing to the increasing customer demand for evermore customised products.

The high flexibility required to accommodate small series customised products alongside the commercial need to run a cost effective practice is challenging a number of manufacturing industries. When demonstrating the prototype at the Hannover Messe 2015, we received significant interest from a number of industries beyond the EV market including domestic appliances and medical technology opening further opportunities for us to capitalise on.

Forecasted to have a global worth of €184 bn by 2020, the automation solutions industry is growing. This Feasibility Study will enable us to assess the economic feasibility of our global and European primary and secondary target markets for our solution; plan IP strategy; develop a fully elaborated sales model; identify potential first adopters and trial partners as well as gather voice of customer. Once complete, we shall progress into Phase 2 and commercially launch iPROCELL in 2019.
Fire Risk Analysis and Optimization of Fire Prevention Management for Green Building Design and High Rise Buildings: Hong Kong Experience

Abstract There are many iconic high rise buildings in Hong Kong, for example, International Commercial Centre, International Financial Centre, etc. Fire safety issue in high rise buildings has been raised by local fire professionals in terms of occupant evacuation, means of fire-fighting by fire fighters, sprinkler systems to automatically put off fires in buildings, etc. Fire risk becomes an important issue in building fire safety because it relates to life safety of building occupants where they live and work in high rise buildings in Hong Kong. The aim of this research is to identify the fire risk for different types of high rise buildings in Hong Kong and to optimise the fire prevention management for those high rise buildings with higher level of fire risk and to validate the model and also to carry out the study of the conflict between the current fire safety building code and the current trend of green building design. Survey via the 7-point scale questionnaire was conducted through 50 participants and their responses were received and analysed via the statistical tool SPSS software computer program. A number of statistical methods of testing for significantly difference in samples were adopted to carry out the analysis of the data received. When the statistical analysis was completed, the results of the data analysis were validated by two Fire Safety Experts in this area of specialisation and also by quantitative fire risk analysis.
SYNTHESIS AND FORMATION MECHANISM OF STRAIGHT CARBON MICROTUBES BY A SIMPLE IN SITU TEMPLATE APPROACH

Here we report a simple in situ template approach for the synthesis of uniformly-shaped straight carbon microtubes (SCMTs) under moderate conditions, in which zinc carbonate powder and glycol were used as starting materials. The morphology and microstructure of SCMTs were characterized by SEM, TEM, HRTEM, XRD and Raman spectrum. The length and diameter of SCMTs can be controlled by simply varying the concentration of zinc carbonate in glycol. Experimental results show that ZnO nanorods generated during the process act as an in situ template for SCMT formation. Owing to their large inner spacing, SCMTs may have potential applications in supporter materials for drugs, dyes, and catalysts, microreactors, and hydrogen or energy storage materials.
Integrating chromatin structure and global chromosome dynamics

DNA associates with proteins to form chromatin which is essential for the compaction of the DNA into the cell nucleus and is highly dynamic in order to allow the different biological processes of the DNA to occur. Chromatin compaction is achieved at different hierarchical levels: the 10nm fibre (DNA associates to nucleosomes formed by different histones), the Higher Order Chromatin fibre and the 300 nm chromosome structures. This study has shown that both H1 and H4 histones play a crucial role in preserving meiotic as well as mitotic chromosome structure and functional genome integrity in Arabidopsis. The role of the different linker histone H1 isoforms as well as the core histone H4 in Arabidopsis thaliana was investigated using T-DNA and RNAi mutant lines which showed different meiotic defects. Chromosomal breaks as well as non-homologous connections in the h4RNAi were linked to 45S/5S rDNA disorganisation, suggesting that H4 preserves chromosome integrity at these rDNA regions. Ath1.1 mutant presented univalents and reduced chiasma frequency at metaphase I, linked to a severe defect in ASY1 localisation on the meiotic chromosome axes. Thus, indicating that histone H1.1 is vital for proper chromatin axis organization that permit normal loading of recombination machinery proteins in Arabidopsis.
The sodium/galactose symporter crystal structure is a dynamic, not so occluded state

The recent elucidation of the sodium/galactose symporter structure from the Vibrio parahaemolyticus bacterium, vSGLT, has revealed a similarity in the core architecture with transporters from different gene families, including the leucine transporter (LeuT). Even though several transporters sharing this core have been structurally determined over the past few years, vSGLT is the only one crystallized in the substrate-bound inward-facing conformation so far. In this study, we report the first insight into the dynamics and coordination of the galactose (Gal) and proposed Na+ ion in vSGLT using a series of molecular dynamics simulations with a total time of about 0.1 micros. Our study reveals new residues, not observed in the crystal structure, which closely interact with the Na(+) ion or the substrate for extended times, and shows that in the crystallized conformation, a Na+ ion placed at the site equivalent to Na2 in LeuT can escape into the intracellular (IC) space in the absence of external forces. We have identified the highly conserved Asp189 as a likely binding residue on the pathway of Na(+) into the IC cavity. The release of Gal, on the other hand, requires the rotation of the side chain of the inner hydrophobic gate, Tyr263, without a significant change in vSGLT backbone conformation. Our simulations further show that the crystal structure represents but one accessible binding pose of Gal and Na+ among an ensemble of microstates, and that the Gal undergoes versatile alternate interactions at the binding pocket.
Delegation of powers and the rule of law: Energy justice in EU energy regulation

Abstract This article examines the legal frameworks surrounding the EU energy policy and its associated institutional architecture. Particular focus is on the Agency for Cooperation of Energy Regulators (ACER). Taking stock of ongoing debates concerning the Energy Union and recently proposed reforms, the purpose of this analysis is twofold. First, from a theoretical perspective, this article explores the limits of the principal/agent model for European integration after the Treaty of Lisbon. It argues that a rule of law analysis should supplement this model in order to improve the encapsulation of the complexities of delegation in policy areas such as energy. Second, this will enable a reflection on the principle of energy justice and the way in which it is articulated by policy and governance changes in the EU.
Secondary peritoneal echinococcosis causing massive bilateral hydronephrosis and renal failure

A 64-year-old Moroccan man was referred to our clinic for abdominal cystic echinococcosis (CE). He had undergone surgery for hepatic CE 29 years earlier, with no perioperative prophylaxis with albendazole. He presented with abdominal distension and abdominal pain. An ultrasound (US) showed multiple CE3b and CE4 cysts with calcifications and two echo-free collections 13 cm in diameter seen on paraumbilical scans (Figure 1a). The portal tract, pancreas, spleen, kidneys, and aorta were not visible on US. The bladder was compressed by a large cyst. Serology for Echinococcus granulosus was positive (indirect hemagglutination test titer 1/4096; Echinococcus IgG ELISA optical density 6.70).

SEALING JOINTS IN PIPES LARGE ENOUGH IN DIAMETER FOR ENTRY OF PERSONNEL

In a method of sealing gas-main pipe joints an annular mould (1) is applied to the inner surfaces of pipe ends (11 and 12) on each side of the joint and covering the joint. The edges of the mould are clamped to the respective pipe ends by expanding bands (4) applied internally of the fitted mould and a sealant resin is injected between the mould and the inner surfaces of the pipe ends and into any spaces in the joint. The injected sealant resin is allowed to cure and the bands and the mould are removed.
HYBRID DRILL BIT WITH AXIALLY ADJUSTABLE COUNTER-ROTATION CUTTERS IN CENTER

A hybrid drill bit includes both fixed cutting elements and an adjustable cutting structure thereon. An adjustment mechanism is provided to allow an axial position of cutting elements at a leading end of the adjustable cutting structure to be adjusted with respect to an axial position of the fixed cutting elements. The adjustable cutting structure may include counter rotational cutting members mounted obliquely with respect to a bit body rotational axis, and the adjustment mechanism may dynamically support the adjustable cutting structure such that the axial position of the cutting elements may be adjusted as the drill bit is in operation within a wellbore. The axial position may be adjusted by altering a weight applied to the drill bit within the wellbore.
Responsible ethical learning with robotics

REELER - Responsible Ethical Learning with Robotics
Robots are the next ICT-related technology on the horizon ready to radically alter human societies. It is a major societal concern that up to 40% jobs may be replaced by robots over the next 20 years. Few empirical studies have been made in how roboticists’ visions may differ from users/affected stakeholders’ needs and concerns with these pervasive and radical changes. The REELER project aims at aligning the roboticists’ visions of a future with robots with empirically-based knowledge of human needs and societal concerns. 
Based on extensive robotics/SSH-RRI collaboration, REELER will offer proactive steps towards ethical and responsible robots by suggesting radical changes in current robot design procedures. Moreover, REELER will formulate guidelines in the REELER Roadmap for distributed responsibility among roboticists, users/affected stakeholders and policy-makers by closing the current gap between these. At the core of these guidelines is the concept of collaborative learning which permeates all aspects of REELER and will guide future SSH-ICT research. 
The main outcome of REELER is the research-based roadmap presenting a) ethical guidelines for Human Proximity Levels, b) prescriptions for how to include the voice of new types of users and affected stakeholders through Mini-Publics and call forth roboticists’ assumptions via sociodrama and c) an agent-based simulation tool for policy-making. 
The high level of multidisciplinarity (8 robot designers from the LEIT-ICT batch 23, anthropologists, psychologists, economists and philosophers) of the REELER research, will assure cooperation, comprehension and acceptance of SSH-research by the robotics research community. 
Integrating the recommendations of the REELER Roadmap for Responsible and Ethical Learning in Robotics in future robot design processes will ensure a European robotics community that take humans needs and societal concerns into account.
Factors Associated With Visible Anogenital Warts Among HIV-Uninfected Peruvian Men Who Have Sex With Men and Transwomen

Visible, anogenital warts may be associated with risk factors for HIV infection. This cross-sectional study examined the factors associated with visible anogenital warts among HIV-uninfected Peruvian men who have sex with men (MSM) and transwomen.Six hundred HIV-uninfected MSM and transwomen were recruited from a community-based setting in metropolitan Lima, Peru, through outreach activities. Participants were tested for syphilis, completed a behavioral questionnaire, and were examined for visible anogenital warts. Logistic regression was used to assess the independent association between sample characteristics, HIV-related risk factors, and visible anogenital warts.A tertiary education versus a primary/secondary (adjusted odds ratio [AOR], 1.79; 95% confidence interval [CI], 1.07-2.99), a first experience of anal intercourse at age 20 years or older versus younger ages (AOR, 2.80; 95% CI, 1.45-5.38), and self-reporting of current sexually transmitted infection symptoms (AOR, 2.38; 95% CI, 1.61-3.52) were significant correlates of visible anogenital warts, whereas syphilis infection, transactional sex, receptive anal intercourse, and self-identifying as a transwoman were not.Although not associated with key risk factors for HIV infection in Peruvian MSM and transwomen, the presence of visible anogenital warts should prompt clinicians to consider the possibility of unreported same-sex sexual behaviors and other risk sexually transmitted infection/HIV risk factors.

Design of supervisory based switching QFT controllers for improved closed loop performance

In this paper, the problem of supervisory based switching Quantitative Feedback Theory (QFT) control is proposed for the control of highly uncertain plants. According to this strategy, the uncertainty region is divided into smaller regions with a nominal model. It is assumed that a QFT controller exits for robust stability and performance of the individual uncertain sets. The proposed control architecture is made up by these local controllers, which commute among themselves in accordance with the decision of a high level decision maker called the supervisor. The supervisor makes the decision by comparing the candidate local model behavior with the one of the plant and selects the controller corresponding to the best fitted model. A hysteresis switching logic is used to slow down switching for stability reasons. It is shown that this strategy leads to improved closed loop performance, and can also handle the uncertainty sets that can not be tackled by a single QFT robust controller. Simulation results are proposed to show the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
Long-Range electrodynamic interactions between proteins

LINkS will change the paradigm of the self-organization of the intracellular living matter by demonstrating the existence of Long-range ElectroDynamic Interactions (LEDIs) between proteins. LEDIs may act as a long distance protein-protein attractive mechanism expanding above several hundred of Angströms that could explain the high spatial organization and coordination of biomolecular reactions; responsible for the transmission of information in cells. 

LEDIs result from condensation phenomenon, characterized by the emerging of the mode of lowest frequency; expected in the TeraHertz (THz) frequency band. However, to date, LEDIs have eluded detection, partly because previous theoretical predictions were incorrect, but also because performing THz spectroscopy in aqueous media is a well-known technological roadblock not yet overcome. LINkS will develop a breakthrough lab-on-chip THz biosensor technology to investigate LEDIs between proteins, from in-vitro to in-vivo. 

No competing or alternative technology exist yet.

To this end, LINkS consortium gathers interdisciplinary expertise including theoretical biophysics, cell biology, nanotechnology and microfluidic engineering. Three academic partners and two SMEs, from four European countries will work in strong collaboration, across the traditional boundaries of their disciplines, to develop a disruptive lab-on-chip THz biosensor able to investigate LEDIs in the real complexity of biological systems. 

LINkS technology will effectively address proteomic analysis and related markets for the benefit of society as a whole. In the long-term, its ramifications will have significant benefits for drug discovery, biomarker identification and associated personalised therapies, and for understanding the influence of electromagnetic fields on living organisms; thus opening up new fields of research in medicine and biology.
Twinning open data operational

The project ""Twinning Open Data Operational"" (TODO) aims to leverage the interdisciplinary scientific excellence and innovation capacity of the University of Zagreb (UNIZG) in the field of open data to boost the supply and use of open government data in Croatia and beyond. Open data initiatives have resulted in greater availability of data, thereby realising ambitions such as improved efficiency and effectiveness of public services, increased transparency, accountability and citizen participation, and economic and social value creation. Open data research is a crucial component in creating and accelerating sustainable and innovative open data ecosystems. However, open data and open data research in Croatia are still in its infancy. With the support of key organizations in the Croatian open data ecosystem and esteemed national and international experts, TODO will enhance the research capacity and research excellence in open data research of UNIZG and its staff through the partnership with two leading universities in the open data domain, University of the Aegean (UAEGEAN) and Delft University of Technology (TUDELFT). TODO will develop and implement an interdisciplinary multi-domain open data research approach to increase the maturity of the concept and impact of the open data ecosystem in Croatia and beyond. The activities directed at training, knowledge exchange, collaboration, outreach and long-term sustainability should establish an internationally leading open data research ecosystem at the UNIZG. Through research, TODO will explore the gaps between supply and demand of open data and build understanding of an open data ecosystem in Croatia. Participation in existing international networks, together with the newly built scientific excellence and innovation capacity and increased mobility of UNIZG staff, will stimulate success in attracting research and education funding and the establishment of a sustainable academic open data research ecosystem in the UNIZG.
