Dirac operators on the fuzzyAdS2with the spins 12 and 1

It is shown here how the pseudo chirality and Dirac operators with the spins 12 and 1 on the commutative and fuzzy AdS2 should be constructed. The finite-dimensional and nonunitary representations of SU(1, 1) carrying the spin degrees of freedom 12 and 1 are used for the Dirac fields on commutative and fuzzy AdS2. In the fuzzy case, an explicit description of pseudo generalization of the Ginsparg-Wilson algebra is used to construct projective modules. The projector couplings left angular momentum and spin on the fuzzy AdS2 are used to produce minimum total angular momenta. They are realized by the first two and three representations of the total angular momentum for the spins 12 and 1, respectively. The pseudo projectors, the pseudo chirality, and Dirac operators with the spins 12 and 1 on the fuzzy AdS2 tend to their corresponding operators in the commutative limit.
Modelling supply chain agility enablers using ISM

Purpose – The purpose of this paper is to present an approach to effective supply chain management by understanding the dynamics between various enablers of agile supply chain. Today’s business environment is characterized as a highly competitive, dynamic and volatile market. Agile supply chain is seen as the winning strategy to be adopted by manufacturers bracing themselves for dramatic performance enhancements to become national and international leaders. Design/methodology/approach – Using interpretive structural modeling the research presents a hierarchy-based model and the mutual relationships among the enablers of agile supply chain. Findings – The research shows that there exists a group of enablers having a high driving power and low dependence requiring maximum attention and of strategic importance, whereas another group consists of those variables which have high dependence and are the resultant actions. Practical implications – This classification provides a useful tool to supply chain managers to differentiate between independent and dependent variables and their mutual relationships which would help them to focus on those key variables that are most important for building cost-effective and agile supply chains. Originality/value – Presentation of enablers in a hierarchy and the classification into driver and dependent categories is unique effort in the area of agile supply chain management.
Interactive soil quality assessment in europe and china for agricultural productivity and environmental resilience

Knowledge regarding the complex interplay between agricultural land use and management and soil quality and function is fragmented and incomplete, in particular with regard to underlying principles and regulating mechanisms. The main aim of iSQAPER is to develop an interactive soil quality assessment tool (SQAPP) for agricultural land users that integrates newly derived process understanding and accounts for the impact of agricultural land use and management on soil properties and functions, and related ecosystem services. For this purpose, >30 long-term experimental field trials in the EU and China will be analysed to derive regulating principles for integration in SQAPP. SQAPP will be developed using a multi-actor approach aiming at facilitating social innovation and providing options to land users for cost-effective agricultural management activities to enhance soil quality and crop productivity. SQAPP will be tested extensively in 14 dedicated Case Study Sites in the EU and China covering a wide spectrum of farming systems and pedo-climatic zones, and rolled-out across the continents thereafter. Within the Case Study sites a range of alternative agricultural practices will be selected, implemented and evaluated with regard to effects on improving soil quality and crop productivity. Proven practices will be evaluated for their potential applicability at EU and China levels, and to assess the related soil environmental footprint under current and future agricultural trends and various agricultural policy scenarios. How the soil quality tool can be utilized for different policy purposes, e.g. in cross compliance and agro-environmental measures, will also be investigated and demonstrated. A comprehensive dissemination and communication strategy, including a web-based information portal, will ensure that project results are available to a variety of stakeholders at the right time and in appropriate formats to enhance soil quality and productivity in the EU and China.
METHOD OF PASTEURIZING ALIMENTARY PRODUCTS IN MACHINES PROVIDED WITH GAS-COMPRESSION REFRIGERATING CIRCUITS

The circuit of a gas-compression refrigerating unit in ice-cream making machines and/or ice-cream mixture pasteurizing machines has inserted therein a by-pass circuit controlled by one or more switching valves. During the cycle of pasteurization and/or sterilization of the ice-cream mixture and of the elements of the machine contacting said mixture (either liquid or frozen), the hot refrigerant gas coming from the compressor is diverted through the evaporator (by-passing both the condenser and expansion valve) so as to heat to a sterilization temperature all the elements of the apparatus which usually are cooled by said evaporator. On completion of this pasteurization and/or sterilization cycle, said by-pass circuit in shut off and the refrigeration cycle is resumed by switching said valves, whereby the fluid refrigerant is circulated from the compressor to the condenser and expansion valves into the evaporator so as to refrigerate the elements that are in heat exchange relationship with said evaporator.

Chemistry and interface tailored lead-free relaxor thin films for energy storage capacitors

The goal of CITRES is to provide new energy storage devices with high power and energy density by developing novel multilayer ceramic capacitors (MLCCs) based on relaxor thin films (RTF). 

Energy storage units for energy autonomous sensor systems for the Internet of Things (IoT) must possess high power and energy density to allow quick charge/recharge and long-time energy supply. Current energy storage devices cannot meet those demands: Batteries have large capacity but long charging/discharging times due to slow chemical reactions and ion diffusion. Ceramic dielectric capacitors – being based on ionic and electronic polarisation mechanisms – can deliver and take up power quickly, but store much less energy due to low dielectric breakdown strength (DBS), high losses, and leakage currents. 

RTF are ideal candidates: (i) Thin film processing allows obtaining low porosity and defects, thus enhancing the DBS; (ii) slim polarisation hysteresis loops, intrinsic to relaxors, allow reducing the losses. High energy density can be achieved in RTF by maximising the polarisation and minimising the leakage currents. Both aspects are controlled by the amount, type and local distribution of chemical substituents in the RTF lattice, whereas the latter depends also on the chemistry of the electrode metal. 
 
In CITRES, we will identify the influence of substituents on electric polarisation from atomic to macroscopic scale by combining multiscale atomistic modelling with advanced structural, chemical and electrical characterizations on several length scales both in the RTF bulk and at interfaces with various electrodes. This will allow for the first time the design of energy storage properties of RTF by chemical substitution and electrode selection.

The ground-breaking nature of CITRES resides in the design and realisation of RTF-based dielectric MLCCs with better energy storage performances than supercapacitors and batteries, thus enabling energy autonomy for IoT sensor systems.
Holographic scanner for safe real-time high throughput screening of people and their bags

Art (SoA) detection equipment used for screening of people and their baggage include (1) X-ray screening; (2) X-ray based explosive detection systems (EDS); (3) explosive and chemical trace detection systems (EDT); (4) technologies based on neutron beams; (5) metal detectors and (6) millimeter wave body scanners.  None of the current SoA methods is able to offer real-time or even rapid enough safe screening of large numbers of people moving simultaneously towards the entrances of buildings, public transportation or public places and rely on a relatively slow person-by-person screening. We would like to propose a novel approach to high-throughput millimeter wave screening which should allow such real-time screening. HOLOSCAN has the following ambitions in consecutive Phase 1 and Phase 2 SME Instrument projects:

• To provide the first commercial HOLOSCAN security scanning system that will allow true real-time scanning of multiple moving persons and their bags which novelty has been verified;
• To adapt this HOLOSCAN system to client’s needs by varying diode panel size and image resolution at a price below current commercial SoA solutions that can run up to €250,000 per stationary unit; 
• To offer the clients constant improvement and upgrade of customized image recognition software;
• To generate sales in excess of €160Mn in first 5 years post-launch, utilizing a network of distributers and licencees;
• To bring ROI for Europe to at least 10,800% given the estimated investment of €1.5Mn in Phase 2 project.
Historical Dictionary of Australian Aborigines

The Aboriginal Australians first arrived on the continent at least 60,000 years ago, occupying and adapting to a range of environmental conditions—from tropical estuarine habitats, densely forested regions, open plains, and arid desert country to cold, mountainous, and often wet and snowy high country. Cultures adapted according to the different conditions and adapted again to environmental changes brought about by rising sea levels at the end of the last ice age. European colonization of the island continent in 1788 not only introduced diseases to which Aborigines had no immunity but also began an enduring and at times violent conflict over land and resources. Reconciliation between Aborigines and the settler population remains unresolved. This second edition of the Historical Dictionary of Australian Aborigines contains a chronology, an introduction, an extensive bibliography, and more than 300 cross-referenced entries on the politics, economy, foreign relations, religion, and culture of the Aborigines. This book is an excellent resource for students, researchers, and anyone wanting to know more about the indigenous people of Australia.
ATUAÇÃO PROFISSIONAL E CONDIÇÕES DE TRABALHO NA ATENÇÃO PRIMÁRIA À SAÚDE NO INTERIOR DO NORDESTE BRASILEIRO

A Pandemia de Covid-19 acentuou a necessidade de entender e melhorar as condições de trabalho dos profissionais de saúde, para além dos Equipamentos de Proteção Individual, pois estes trabalhadores enfrentam, muitas vezes, precárias condições de trabalho. Este estudo buscou investigar a atuação profissional e as condições de trabalho de profissionais da Atenção Primária à Saúde no interior do Nordeste brasileiro. Trata-se de uma pesquisa quali-quantitativa, transversal, descritiva, realizada por meio de entrevistas semiestruturadas. Dos 86 participantes, 60% (n=52) eram Agentes Comunitários de Saúde, 15% (n=13) técnico(a)s de enfermagem, 12% (n=10) enfermeiro(a)s, 7% (n=6) médico(a)s, 3% (n=3) técnico(a)s em saúde bucal e 2% (n=2) cirurgiões-dentistas. Observou-se que, na atuação dos profissionais, ainda persistem problemas que comprometem a garantia da atenção à saúde das populações no interior da região Nordeste, como a escassez de recursos humanos e materiais, a sobrecarga de trabalho, ou mesmo a precariedade da infraestrutura. A garantia de condições laborais adequadas é fundamental para fortalecer a prevenção e a promoção da saúde da população brasileira, ainda mais, no momento atual de enfrentamento da pandemia e de redução no financiamento do SUS.
Dermoscopic, histological and immunohistochemical evaluation of cancerous features in acquired melanocytic nevi that have been repeatedly exposed to UVA or UVB

Previous studies have reported that repeated solar and artificial UVB (280-320 nm) and UVA (320-400 nm) exposures can modify acquired melanocytic nevi (AMN). We therefore investigated the clinical, dermoscopic, histological and immunohistochemical changes in AMN exposed to UVB and UVA radiation. Twenty healthy volunteers with at least three AMN on the trunk were enrolled in the present study and randomized into two groups to receive equally effective doses of narrow-band (NB)-UVB or UVA1. Three exposures per week were delivered for a total of 4 weeks. During exposures, one AMN was left unprotected, a second one was shielded with an opaque adhesive tape and the third nevus was covered with a commercial sunscreen. After the irradiation cycle, the AMN were surgically removed and underwent histological and immunohistochemical assessment of melanocyte/melanogenesis-related proteins (MART-1, tyrosinase, HMB-45), cell cycle activation markers (Ki-67, topoisomerase IIalpha, p53, Cdk2) and transcription factors (microphthalmia-associated transcription factor, STAT3). Nevi that were exposed to NB-UVB or UVA1 also showed statistically significant increase in size and changes in their dermoscopic features, including overall darkening, increased pigment network expression, formation of branched streaks, and increased number and size of brown globules and dots. AMN that had been covered with opaque tape or sunscreen did not show changes in size or dermoscopic features following UVA1 or NB-UVB exposure. Histological and immunohistochemical analysis did not show any significant change in exposed AMN in comparison with AMN shielded with an opaque adhesive tape or covered with the sunscreen.
Attitude to cervical cancer screening and sexual behaviour among HPV vaccinated young women—A qualitative pilot study

Objectives: To explore attitudes to cervical cancer screening and sexual behaviour among human papillomavirus (HPV)-vaccinated young women in southern Sweden. Methods: Sixteen women aged 17-26 years who had received the HPV vaccine were submitted to an individual semi-structured interview. Interviews were recorded and transcribed verbatim. The data were analysed qualitatively by means of latent content analysis. Results: The interviewees had a poor understanding of cervical cancer screening. After it was explained to them, they stated that they were willing to participate in the screening. The young women thought their future sexual behaviour would not be affected by the vaccination. They considered themselves to be more aware of it and less likely to engage in risky behaviour than their peers. They knew little about the relation among HPV, sexual transmission and cervical cancer, and they expressed a desire for more information. Conclusions: These young women who recently had been administered HPV vaccine had a limited understanding of the importance of participating in future cervical cancer screening. It is necessary that more and more appropriate information of cervical cancer screening be given on the occasion of the HPV vaccination.
Micro-Pulsed, diode-based laser

Norlase is a spin-out company set up to develop and commercialize a new class of compact, stable, low-noise visible lasers in the 1-20 W output power range – tapered diode doubled lasers (TDDL). TDDL is a method of converting infra-red light emitted by diode lasers into visible light which overcomes current laser technologies limitations by delivering better performance with far more efficient tapered diodes. A key advantage is the wavelength selectivity range; in particular, TDDL can offer wavelengths in the green-yellow region at high power and diffraction-limited output beam. This is especially interesting for medical applications, namely in the field of ophthalmology, where current technologies cannot offer the preferred wavelengths (561 and 577 nm) from a therapeutic stand point.

While Norlase is currently on track in the development and maturation of yellow (560-600 nm) lasers for medical treatments, the addition of micro-pulsing capabilities to our product would grant the possibility to modulate the laser light intensity, i.e. for lasers to be used in photocoagulation applications the collateral damage through excessive heating will be avoided. Leveraging on the opportunity provided by the SME IA we aim to recruit a physicist - with skills within semiconductor physics, devices, and photonic systems - to develop stable, micro-second pulsing of Norlase's proprietary semi-conductor diode based laser. 

The successful implementation of the MILAS project will not only strengthen Norlase technology´s value proposition towards the medical segment but it will also grant the recruited IA with unique competences in one of the most promising application areas of high-power semiconductor diodes. This together with a first-hand experience in a fast-growing start-up such as Norlase will significantly increase the IA’s employability in both academic and industrial organizations.

Geometrically undistorted MRI in the presence of field inhomogeneities using compressed sensing accelerated broadband 3D phase encoded turbo spin-echo imaging

In this study, we explore the potential of compressed sensing (CS) accelerated broadband 3D phase-encoded turbo spin-echo (3D-PE-TSE) for the purpose of geometrically undistorted imaging in the presence of field inhomogeneities. To achieve this goal 3D-PE-SE and 3D-PE-TSE sequences with broadband rf pulses and dedicated undersampling patterns were implemented on a clinical scanner. Additionally, a 3D multi-spectral spin-echo (ms3D-SE) sequence was implemented for reference purposes. First, we demonstrated the influence of susceptibility induced off-resonance effects on the spatial encoding of broadband 3D-SE, ms3D-SE, 3D-PE-SE and 3D-PE-TSE using a grid phantom containing a titanium implant (Δχ = 182 ppm) with x-ray CT as a gold standard. These experiments showed that the spatial encoding of 3D-PE-(T)SE was unaffected by susceptibility induced off-resonance effects, which caused geometrical distortions and/or signal hyper-intensities in broadband 3D-SE and, to a lesser extent, in ms3D-SE frequency encoded methods. Additionally, an SNR analysis was performed and the temporally resolved signal of 3D-PE-(T)SE sequences was exploited to retrospectively decrease the acquisition bandwidth and obtain field offset maps. The feasibility of CS acceleration was studied retrospectively and prospectively for the 3D-PE-SE sequence using an existing CS algorithm adapted for the reconstruction of 3D data with undersampling in all three phase encoded dimensions. CS was combined with turbo-acceleration by variable density undersampling and spherical stepwise T2 weighting by randomly sorting consecutive echoes in predefined spherical k-space layers. The CS-TSE combination resulted in an overall acceleration factor of 60, decreasing the original 3D-PE-SE scan time from 7 h to 7 min. Finally, CS accelerated 3D-PE-TSE in vivo images of a titanium screw were obtained within 10 min using a micro-coil demonstrating the feasibility of geometrically undistorted MRI near severe field inhomogeneities.
Lasercom-On-Chip for next generation, high-speed satellite constelation interconnectivity

The satellite market experiences a paradigm shift with the rise of satellite constellations that are changing the satellite volume launched from now on. Under increasing capacity requirements, primes admit that lasercom is required to connect their constellations at high speeds not possible with RF equipment. This is shaping a unique opportunity for the penetration of optical inter-satellite links (OISLs) into a market that will only grow. The deal for OISLs is clear; low cost, size, weight and power consumption (C-SWAP), but the current tools and methods used to make OISL systems are fundamentally incompatible with this requirement and the jump to satellite lasercom is a jump to higher complexity. ORIONAS aims to provide the technology that will disrupt the way lasercom systems are designed, built and tested and hit the right C-SWAP targets. ORIONAS invests in monolithic integration within European BICMOS and InP foundries for cost-effective access to high performance technologies. Using its photonics BICMOS integration platform, ORIONAS will squeeze lasercom transceivers into a few mm^2 demonstrating modulator/driver electronic-photonic IC (ePIC) being >2 orders of magnitude smaller than state-of-the-art space (SOTA) qualified modulators and receiver ePICs being 3 orders of magnitude smaller than conventional free space optics receivers used in current lasercom modems. ORIONAS will develop a Hi-rel packaging technology to deliver all-laser weldable, hermetic transceivers that will be 20 times faster and 16x times smaller than current SOTA lasercom systems and with power dissipation in the order of a few pJ/bit. Using InP integration ORIONAS will fabricate SOAs being 2 orders of magnitude smaller than current space qualified high power fiber amplifiers and >10x times more powerful than current commercial SOAs. ORIONAS will system integrate the ePIC and SOA modules into its lasercom mini-modem platform and will test it within the test facilities of the end user.
