Volatile compounds responsible for aroma of Jutrzenka liquer wine

Jutrzenka is a sweet liquer wine produced in Poland from the grape variety of the same name, developed in Poland to withstand the harsh climate of winery regions. Jutrzenka wine has a characteristic aroma with strong fruity and flowery notes, which make it unique among other liquer wines as demonstrated in sensory profile analysis. The work was aimed at characterization of volatile compounds in this wine, with the emphasis on characterization of compounds responsible for its unique aroma. Gas chromatography-olfactometry (GC-O) was applied to identify the key odorants using aroma extract dilution analysis (AEDA) approach. To facilitate free and bound terpenes and C(13)-norisoprenoids identification solid phase extraction (SPE) was used followed by GC/MS. Among identified key odorants β-damascenone was the compound having the highest FD (4096), followed by isoamyl alcohol, 4-mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone (FD=2048), methional, linalool, ethyl decanoate (FD=1024) and ethyl hexanoate, furaneol (FD=512). Other significant compounds were ethyl 2-methyl propanoate, ethyl 2-methylbutanoate and phenyl ethyl alcohol. Determination of odor activity values (OAV) showed the highest values for β-damascenone (566), 4-mercapto-4-methyl-2-pentanone (288) ethyl hexanoate (32) and linalool (7). Jutrzenka exhibited also a rich profile of free, and to lesser extent bound terpenes.
A new business model for the natural cosmetic market

LaboPhyto is an Italian SME dealing with the manufacturing of naturals products for cosmetics brands – big and small ones. The CosMyFY project aims at developing a new business model oriented to the implementation of own brands and own direct market. Current business model is limited, in terms of growing capability, by traditional clients and their business models. In the natural cosmetics market new player are emerging, offering own brands and working with social network (actually blogs). They are individuals, mainly women, who become « blog lead » and boost number of followers exceeding millions. The great advantage in bloggers’ approach is the direct and complete engagement of the followers both in the product choice (colour, type, functionality) and in its diffusion by the contact chain. Bloggers, however, lack production capability. LPT has his own know how and production capability that will allow to overcome this current market weakness and to aggregate many blogger to implement a new business. This new model will shorten the value chain, improve GM, reduce environmental impact, create new employment and new widespread business opportunities. In the project a local customized production capability is envisaged by adopting local 3D printers, both by the blogger and by associated shops. This step will represent a real disrupting innovation in the market. At the end we will have: A business plan development; The platform COSMYFY integrating technologies (3D printers included), products and bloggers database, Assessed the world market and established a bloggers-own label producers network, Defined a plan for marketing and business development. Pilot application  of the new business model built, tested and validated. For the realization of the objective we foresee: A feasibility study that will define aspects for the implementation of the project in Phase2. Dur : 6 mth; In Phase2, the aspects of technological development, industry, market and trade. Dur: 18 mth
From public to private and back again: sustaining a high service-delivery level during transition of management authority: a Cambodia case study

Contracting non-governmental organizations (NGOs) has been shown to increase health service delivery output considerably over relatively short time frames in low-income countries, especially when applying performance-related pay as a stimulus. A key concern is how to manage the transition back to government-operated systems while maintaining health service delivery output levels. In this paper we describe and analyse the transition from NGO-managed to government-managed health services over a 3-year period in a health district in Cambodia with a focus on the level of health service delivery. Data are derived from four sources, including cross-sectional surveys and health management and financial information systems. The transition was achieved by focusing on all the building blocks of the health care system and ensuring an acceptable financial remuneration for the staff members of contracted health facilities. The latter was attained through performance subsidies derived from financial commitment by the central government, and revenue from user fees. Performance management had a crucial role in the gradual handover of responsibilities. Not all responsibilities were handed back to government over the case study period-notably the development of performance indicators and targets and the performance monitoring.
Bridging the Research-to-Practice Gap in Autism Intervention: An Application of Diffusion of Innovation Theory

There is growing evidence that efficacious interventions for autism are rarely adopted or successfully implemented in public mental health and education systems. We propose applying diffusion of innovation theory to further our understanding of why this is the case. We pose a practical set of questions that administrators face as they decide about the use of interventions. Using literature from autism intervention and dissemination science, we describe reasons why efficacious interventions for autism are rarely adopted, implemented, and maintained in community settings, all revolving around the perceived fit between the intervention and the needs and capacities of the setting. Finally, we suggest strategies for intervention development that may increase the probability that these interventions will be used in real-world settings.
Population balance model based multi-objective optimization and robustness analysis of a continuous plug flow antisolvent crystallizer

Crystallization is a major separation process in the pharmaceutical industry. Most crystallizations are performed batchwise, but there is great incentive for switching to continuous operation. We have investigated the modeling, simulation, optimization, and robustness of a multi-segmented, multi-addition plug-flow crystallizer (MSMA-PFC). The design accepts multiple antisolvent flows along its length, permitting localized control of supersaturation. A mass balance equation was used to track the depletion of dissolved solute (flufenamic acid), and a population balance equation for tracking the crystal size distribution. Multiobjective optimization was done using the antisolvent flowrates into each segment as decision variables. The genetic algorithm was used to calculate the Pareto frontiers for the two competing objectives of maximizing average crystal size (L
 43
), and minimizing coefficient of variation (CV). The sensitivity of the Pareto frontier to variation in the growth and nucleation kinetic parameters was investigated. The robustness of a single solution was examined as well with respect to error in the kinetic parameters, as well as to errors in antisolvent flowrate.
Integrated management of root-knot nematode Meloidogyne javanica (Treub) Chitwood in fennel ( Foeniculum vulgare Mill.)

Evaluation of organic cakes and nematicides for the management of root-knot nematode (Meloidogyne javanica) on fennel (Foeniculum vulgare) at Kapadvanj (Gujarat) indicated that all the treatments including organic amendments and nematicide either alone or in combination significantly reduced root-knot disease and increased the grain yield over control. Maximum grain yield (2762 kg ha-1) was obtained with the treatment neem cake 1000 kg ha-1 + phorate 1 kg ha-1, which was on par with Neemguard 20 kg ha-1 + phorate 1 kg ha-1 (2566 kg ha-1). Minimum root-knot index (1.64) was recorded in the combined treatment of neem cake 1000 kg ha-1 + phorate 1 kg ha-1, which was on par with castor cake 1000 kg ha-1 + phorate 1 kg ha-1. Maximum net returns (Rs. 22,775 ha-1) was obtained in the treatment neem cake 1000 kg ha-1 + phorate 1 kg ha-1.
Well insert

A method of controlling the orientation of a well 8 comprises installing a well foundation 4 having a channel 10 therethrough; measuring the angle of the foundation relative to vertical; providing a well insert 2 having a channel 6 therethrough for the well; inserting the well insert into the channel in the installed well foundation; and wherein the well insert corrects for a misalignment of the channel in the well foundation from vertical after the foundation has been installed. The method may comprise providing a plurality of well inserts, wherein each of the well inserts has a different angle between channel of the insert and the outer surface of the insert; and wherein the method comprises selecting an appropriate well insert from the plurality of well inserts and inserting the selected well insert into the channel in the installed well foundation. An appropriate well insert is made once the desired angle of the channel of the insert relative to the outer surface of the insert is determined. The angle of the channel of the well insert relative to the channel of the well foundation may be adjusted based on the measured angle of the foundation.

Influence of niobium on laser de-vitrification of Fe–Si–B based amorphous magnetic alloys

Laser annealing of Fe 77.5 Si 13.5 B 9 and Fe 76.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Cu 1 amorphous melt-spun ribbons was carried out. In both alloys, it was found that devitrification occurred, leading to the nucleation of a high density of refined α-Fe(Si) nanocrystals within the amorphous matrix. Interestingly, when laser processed under identical conditions, Fe 74.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Nb 3 , and Fe 73.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Nb 3 Cu 1 (FINEMET) amorphous melt-spun ribbons did not exhibit devitrification or copper clustering. Differences in the magnetic properties were observed, with the Fe 77.5 Si 13.5 B 9 and Fe 76.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Cu 1 alloys exhibiting higher saturation magnetization (M S ) and higher coercivity (H C ) values while Fe 74.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Nb 3 , and Fe 73.5 Si 13.5 B 9 Nb 3 Cu 1 alloys exhibited lower values of both these properties. These results clearly reveal the enhanced stability of the amorphous phase due to the addition of Nb in Fe–Si–B based melt-spun samples. • Laser annealing of amorphous soft magnetic Fe–Si–B–Cu–Nb (Finemet type) alloys • Coupled influence of rapid heating and cooling and solute elements on de-vitrification • Solute partitioning between nanocrystals and amorphous matrix during laser de-vitrification • Magnetic properties of laser annealed soft magnetic alloys
Sex differences in the structural connectome of the human brain

Significance Sex differences are of high scientific and societal interest because of their prominence in behavior of humans and nonhuman species. This work is highly significant because it studies a very large population of 949 youths (8–22 y, 428 males and 521 females) using the diffusion-based structural connectome of the brain, identifying novel sex differences. The results establish that male brains are optimized for intrahemispheric and female brains for interhemispheric communication. The developmental trajectories of males and females separate at a young age, demonstrating wide differences during adolescence and adulthood. The observations suggest that male brains are structured to facilitate connectivity between perception and coordinated action, whereas female brains are designed to facilitate communication between analytical and intuitive processing modes.
LOW PROFILE MECHANISM FOR STOWING AND DEPLOYING A CARRIAGE WITH RESPECT TO A TRUCK BOX

A carriage with a front end and a rear end can be stowed in a truck box or truck platform, and deployed to a position on the ground behind the truck by providing a lift apparatus having a transfer arm with one end pivoted with respect to the truck and the other end pivoted to the front end of the carriage. Guides are mounted on the lift apparatus to guide the carriage during movement. The carriage has wheels adjacent the rear end, and a powered mechanism, typically hydraulic, is adapted to move the transfer arm between its two extreme positions. As the transfer arm begins to move away from the position in which the carriage is stowed in the truck, the front end of the carriage lifts upwardly while the carriage moves rearwardly, supported and guided by roller guides, until the wheels at the rear end of the carriage contact the surface on which the truck is standing. This causes the carriage to disengage from the roller guides and eventually the carriage com es to a stop resting on the surface. The current invention is designed for use in boxes of limited length. To establish as small a footprint as possible, the lift apparatus is configured with a folding transfer arm and a retractable guide means.</SDOAB >
Nervous system development in lecithotrophic larval and juvenile stages of the annelid Capitella teleta

Reconstructing the evolutionary history of nervous systems requires an understanding of their architecture and development across diverse taxa. The spiralians encompass diverse body plans and organ systems, and within the spiralians, annelids exhibit a variety of morphologies, life histories, feeding modes and associated nervous systems, making them an ideal group for studying evolution of nervous systems.We describe nervous system development in the annelid Capitella teleta (Blake JA, Grassle JP, Eckelbarger KJ. Capitella teleta, a new species designation for the opportunistic and experimental Capitella sp. I, with a review of the literature for confirmed records. Zoosymposia. 2009;2:25-53) using whole-mount in situ hybridization for a synaptotagmin 1 homolog, nuclear stains, and cross-reactive antibodies against acetylated α-tubulin, 5-HT and FMRFamide. Capitella teleta is member of the Sedentaria (Struck TH, Paul C, Hill N, Hartmann S, Hosel C, Kube M, et al. Phylogenomic analyses unravel annelid evolution. Nature. 2011;471:95-8) and has an indirectly-developing, lecithotrophic larva. The nervous system of C. teleta shares many features with other annelids, including a brain and a ladder-like ventral nerve cord with five connectives, reiterated commissures, and pairs of peripheral nerves. Development of the nervous system begins with the first neurons differentiating in the brain, and follows a temporal order from central to peripheral and from anterior to posterior. Similar to other annelids, neurons with serotonin-like-immunoreactivity (5HT-LIR) and FMRFamide-like-immunoreactivity (FMRF-LIR) are found throughout the brain and ventral nerve cord. A small number of larval-specific neurons and neurites are present, but are visible only after the central nervous system begins to form. These larval neurons are not visible after metamorphosis while the rest of the nervous system is largely unchanged in juveniles.Most of the nervous system that forms during larvogenesis in C. teleta persists into the juvenile stage. The first neurons differentiate in the brain, which contrasts with the early formation of peripheral, larval-specific neurons found in some spiralian taxa with planktotrophic larvae. Our study provides a clear indication that certain shared features among annelids - e.g., five connectives in the ventral nerve cord - are only visible during larval stages in particular species, emphasizing the need to include developmental data in ancestral character state reconstructions. The data provided in this paper will serve as an important comparative reference for understanding evolution of nervous systems, and as a framework for future molecular studies of development.
Next generation sequencing for clinical diagnostics: Five year experience of an academic laboratory

Clinical laboratories have adopted next generation sequencing (NGS) as a gold standard for the diagnosis of hereditary disorders because of its analytic accuracy, high throughput, and potential for cost-effectiveness. We describe the implementation of a single broad-based NGS sequencing assay to meet the genetic testing needs at the University of Minnesota. A single hybrid capture library preparation was used for each test ordered, data was informatically blinded to clinically-ordered genes, and identified variants were reviewed and classified by genetic counselors and molecular pathologists. We performed 2509 sequencing tests from August 2012 till December 2017. The diagnostic yield has remained steady at 25%, but the number of variants of uncertain significance (VUS) included in a patient report decreased over time with 50% of the patient reports including at least one VUS in 2012 and only 22% of the patient reports reporting a VUS in 2017 (p = .002). Among the various clinical specialties, the diagnostic yield was highest in dermatology (60% diagnostic yield) and ophthalmology (42% diagnostic yield) while the diagnostic yield was lowest in gastrointestinal diseases and pulmonary diseases (10% detection yield in both specialties). Deletion/duplication analysis was also implemented in a subset of panels ordered, with 9% of samples having a diagnostic finding using the deletion/duplication analysis. We have demonstrated the feasibility of this broad-based NGS platform to meet the needs of our academic institution by aggregating a sufficient sample volume from many individually rare tests and providing a flexible ordering for custom, patient-specific panels.
Developments since 2005 in understanding potential environmental impacts of CO2 leakage from geological storage

This paper reviews research into the potential environmental impacts of leakage from geological storage of CO2 since the publication of the IPCC Special Report on Carbon Dioxide Capture and Storage in 2005. Possible impacts are considered on onshore (including drinking water aquifers) and offshore ecosystems. The review does not consider direct impacts on man or other land animals from elevated atmospheric CO2 levels. Improvements in our understanding of the potential impacts have come directly from CO2 storage research but have also benefitted from studies of ocean acidification and other impacts on aquifers and onshore near surface ecosystems. Research has included observations at natural CO2 sites, laboratory and field experiments and modelling. Studies to date suggest that the impacts from many lower level fault- or well-related leakage scenarios are likely to be limited spatially and temporarily and recovery may be rapid. The effects are often ameliorated by mixing and dispersion of the leakage and by buffering and other reactions; potentially harmful elements have rarely breached drinking water guidelines. Larger releases, with potentially higher impact, would be possible from open wells or major pipeline leaks but these are of lower probability and should be easier and quicker to detect and remediate.
Modal nonlinear resonance for efficient and versatile legged locomotion

The aim of M-Runners is to thoroughly advance the understanding of fundamental dynamic principles of legged locomotion to the point that those principles can be used to design robots which display similar motion characteristics, versatility, and efficiency as their biological paragons. The central hypothesis of the project is that biological locomotion is fundamentally determined by the mechanical resonance properties of the body and that a breakthrough in robot locomotion is essentially linked to understanding and exploiting these phenomena. If body design is such that walking and running correspond to intrinsic periodic motions of the body, then the control is simple and efficiency and robustness are natural consequences. However, large-amplitude nonlinear oscillations of such complex systems are today still not well understood. Mathematical methods to describe, analyze, design and control elastic resonant robots are lacking to a large extent. The project is thus dedicated to develop a new theory of nonlinear oscillations, applicable to elastic multibody systems, be they biologic or robotic.
M-Runners will perform interdisciplinary research at the border between robotics, nonlinear dynamical systems and vibration theory, biomechanics, and machine learning. We will take inspiration from biology regarding the basic motion sequences and the muscle arrangements (couplings, redundancies, compliance distributions). Conversely, we expect our theory to generate new hypotheses for a deeper understanding of locomotion biomechanics and its control by the nervous system.
We will design and demonstrate robots which can move at similar speed and mechanical energetic efficiency as animals and humans and which have comparable uneven terrain versatility and robustness. The primary application scenario is space exploration on Mars in canyons, caves or steep ridge slopes. Applications of the technology reach, however, from health-care over personal-assistance to disaster management.
Effect of spray application parameters on viability of rhizobacteria used as bio-pesticides in organic fruit production

The biocides, either synthetic pesticides or biopesticides, are applied with agricultural sprayers in form of an atomised spray liquid, being usually a solution or suspension of the control agent, i.e.: synthetic active ingredient, microorganism or extract of naturally occurring material. Prior to the atomisation the spray liquid is subject to a turbulent flow and series of processes taking place in different sprayer components. In the pump the liquid is in turns compressed and decompressed at the frequency of 10-50 Hz (diaphragm or piston pumps) or subject to mechanical rotation at high speeds of 1500-3500 RPM (centrifugal pumps). In the filters the compressed liquid passes the mesh, in the control devices such as valves and gauges it flows at high speed passing sharp edges, and finally in the nozzles it is atomised by mechanical breaking or tearing apart. During all these processes the sprayer components and their working parameters harshly interact with the particles suspended in the liquid and usually they cause an increase of the liquid temperature. The leaving micro-organisms in biopesticides are subject to unfavourable conditions being far from those of their natural habitat. Thus, the question about viability of microbes under these conditions is very important for the efficacy of biopesticides. The objective of this study was to evaluate the survival of two strains of PGPR (Plant Growth Promoting Rhizobacteria), showing potential of application in organic fruit growing, by performing the stress tests simulating spray application process with both the hydraulic and the pneumatic atomisation system.
