Systematic design and testing of advanced rotating packed bed processes and phase-change solvents for intensified post-combustion co2 capture

ROLINCAP will search, identify and test novel phase-change solvents, including aqueous and non-aqueous options, as well as phase-change packed bed and Rotating Packed Bed processes for post-combustion CO2 capture. These are high-potential technologies, still in their infancy, with initial evidence pointing to regeneration energy requirements below 2.0 GJ/ton CO2 and considerable reduction of the equipment size, several times compared to conventional processes . These goals will be approached through a holistic decision making framework consisting of methods for modeling and design that have the potential for real breakthroughs in CO2 capture research. The tools proposed in ROLINCAP will cover a vast space of solvent and process options going far beyond the capabilities of existing simulators. ROLINCAP follows a radically new path by proposing one predictive modelling framework, in the form of the SAFT-γ equation of state, for both physical and chemical equilibrium, for a wide range of phase behaviours and of molecular structures. The envisaged thermodynamic model will be used in optimization-based Computer-aided Molecular Design of phase-change solvents in order to identify options beyond the very few previously identified phase-change solvents. Advanced process design approaches will be used for the development of highly intensified Rotating Packed Bed processes.  Phase-change solvents will be considered with respect to their economic and operability RPB process characteristics. The sustainability of both the new solvents and the packed-bed and RPB processes will be investigated considering holistic Life Cycle Assessment analysis and Safety Health and Environmental Hazard assessment. Selected phase-change solvents, new RPB column concepts and packing materials will be tested at TRL 4 and 5 pilot plants. Software in the form of a new SAFT-γ equation of state will be tested at TRL 5 in the gPROMS process simulator.
A millennium-long management perspective for promoting the geological-social resiliency of barrier islands: a preliminary proposal for Fire Island, NY

Barrier islands, such as Fire Island, NY, are complex geological-social systems, driven by mesoscale (centuries/ millennia) processes. The natural resiliency of these thin, linear landforms depends mainly on their capacity to migrate land- ward (rollover) in response to the slow, persistent rise of sea level. This happens by overwash processes during storm surges, whereby beach and dune sand on the ocean side is eroded and transferred to the island's interior and back-barrier shore. Also storm breaches and inlet formation enable the de- velopment of flood-tidal deltas, which likewise supply large volumes of sand to the backshore of barriers. If these processes are curtailed by shortsighted engineering solutions, barrier islands will lose their morphologic resiliency and either disin- tegrate or drown in place. The ideas in this paper argue for a millennial management perspective for Fire Island, based on not interfering with the process of rollover over geologically significant spans of time. To be effective, people will need to think about adapting to continual change on a system level, rather than relying on conventional, short-term engineering so- lutions to a local erosion problem, a management strategy that will compromise the morphologic integrity of Fire Island as sea level continues to rise for the foreseeable future.

Effect of dimethyl fumarate on gray and white matter pathology in subjects with relapsing multiple sclerosis: a longitudinal study

Dimethyl fumarate (DMF) is an oral treatment for relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) with anti-inflammatory and possible neuroprotective properties. Its effect on white matter and gray matter pathology is still not fully understood. The aim of the study was to characterize the effect of DMF on normal-appearing white matter (NAWM) and thalamic pathology longitudinally.In this observational, longitudinal, 24-month magnetic resonance imaging study, 75 patients with relapsing-remitting MS treated with DMF and 40 age- and sex-matched healthy individuals were enrolled. Regional diffusion tensor imaging metrics and tract-based spatial statistics analyses were used to assess differences between groups. Mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity, radial diffusivity and fractional anisotropy were measured in the thalamus and NAWM. Baseline differences and changes over time were evaluated within and between study groups.At baseline, patients with MS showed significantly increased diffusivity and decreased fractional anisotropy in the thalamus (P < 0.001 for mean diffusivity, axial diffusivity and radial diffusivity) and NAWM (all P < 0.016) compared with healthy individuals. No significant within-group difference was found in diffusion tensor imaging measures over 24 months in either group. Healthy individuals showed a significantly greater rate of increased diffusivity parameters in the thalamus and NAWM compared with patients with MS, over 24 months (P < 0.05).The lack of changes in diffusion tensor imaging metrics in patients with MS over 24 months possibly indicates a neuroprotective role of DMF. These findings provide additional evidence of the beneficial effect of DMF on MS-related pathology.

A new integrated process to valorise hazardous leaded glass from crts and transform it into high performance geopolymer blocks - virtucrete

The world is sitting on a ‘CRT mountain’; For TVs and monitors, Cathode Ray Tubes have been the main screen technology,
up until the revolutionary change to LCD and plasma screens that has recently taken place. Consequently, the current CRT
population (1.9 billion screens; 500 million of them in Europe) is becoming obsolete and will require processing (not landfill)
according to WEEE regulations, since the high proportion of lead in the glass means that landfills have an unacceptable risk
of lead leaching into groundwater. The very low manufacturing rates for new CRT worldwide now mean that recycling the
glass back into CRTs is no longer an option, and the only alternatives to avoid landfill have been to use the glass as a
smelting flux (85% of it remains as a toxic slag), or using foundry temperatures (1000°C) melt extraction for the lead, which
is extremely energy and CO2 costly, and at best produces an 80% co-stream of low value glass.
Our idea is to process leaded CRT glass using a novel hydrochemistry method to precipitate out the lead, which can be sold.
The residual output stream from our VirtuCrete process contains an alumino-silicate mix that can be used as an alternative
to Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC), to produce a high-silica concrete geopolymer block. This new material has exceptional
resistance to salt, acids and water, making it suitable harsh conditions and flood defences, and high temperature resistance
(over 1200°C) making it applicable to fire risk applications such as road tunnels or waste storage segregation. The novel
chemistry also allows use of recycled aggregate, potentially reducing the cost of our geoblocks by 50% compared to OPC
blocks. The new technology could enable EU waste recyclers and concrete block producers to co-operate to solve the CRT
problem and to increase competitiveness through new products, to gain market share and capitalise on new business
opportunities.
Portability of 245 polygenic scores when derived from the UK Biobank and applied to 9 ancestry groups from the same cohort

The low portability of polygenic scores (PGSs) across global populations is a major concern that must be addressed before PGSs can be used for everyone in the clinic. Indeed, prediction accuracy has been shown to decay as a function of the genetic distance between the training and test cohorts. However, such cohorts differ not only in their genetic distance but also in their geographical distance and their data collection and assaying, conflating multiple factors. In this study, we examine the extent to which PGSs are transferable between ancestries by deriving polygenic scores for 245 curated traits from the UK Biobank data and applying them in nine ancestry groups from the same cohort. By restricting both training and testing to the UK Biobank data, we reduce the risk of environmental and genotyping confounding from using different cohorts. We define the nine ancestry groups at a sub-continental level, based on a simple, robust, and effective method that we introduce here. We then apply two different predictive methods to derive polygenic scores for all 245 phenotypes and show a systematic and dramatic reduction in portability of PGSs trained using Northwestern European individuals and applied to nine ancestry groups. These analyses demonstrate that prediction already drops off within European ancestries and reduces globally in proportion to genetic distance. Altogether, our study provides unique and robust insights into the PGS portability problem.
Will Consumption of Indian Handicrafts Endure

Purpose : This article examines the survival probability of Indian handicrafts in the face of globalization and the artisans’ descendants exiting this industry for other new-age professions. Approach/Research Methodology : Literature has been reviewed and important theories behind consumption of handicrafts examined and a theoretical framework that explains the survival potential of handicrafts presented. Findings : Handicrafts are one of the means of the community to display its values and spiritualities. They give a social and cultural identity; this has been handed down through generations. A ‘true blue’ handicraft is characterized by singularity which, in turn, comprises (1) uniqueness, (2) rarity, and (3) extraordinariness. Singularity comes from design intensity. Design cannot be minimal. The handicrafts of such minimal design are doomed to die. This article sets out to argue that (a) culture, (b) taste, ( c) personal values and ( d) ancestral and identity motives in conjunction with singularity of product have the potential to restrain the globalization forces from consumers’ withdrawal of patronage for handicrafts. Practical Applications : These findings which come in the form of a theoretical framework will potentially help the industry formulate their survival and growth strategies; the article establishes that if the product attributes are unique, extraordinary and rare, their survival probability will be high since culture, personal factors and personal values drive their consumption of handicrafts embedded with uniqueness, rarity and extraordinariness. Originality : No comprehensive review of literature as been made yet, as done in this; all the relevant theories are examined and integrated into a new theoretical framework. It integrates social forces and personal factors with singularity of product to drive positive customer outcomes.

Resilience, mindfulness and medication safety with electronic systems

Medications are one of the most common healthcare interventions and one with great risk of adverse events and serious harm to patients. Medications incidents in hospitals are frequent and a serious concern. Electronic medicine management systems (EMMS) implemented in hospital are known to reduce some safety risks but also introduce new ones.  A way to prevent harm to patients from the use of medication is through organising for collective mindfulness (alertness to risks) and through learning from everyday resilience. EMMS introduced in sociotechnical contexts of hospital care may affect collective mindfulness and resilience, in ways that are context (or nation) specific, as countries differ in structures, processes, and legislation.
This project proposes a collaboration with Australian and European centres of excellence in the field of patient safety, to study mindfulness and resilience in medication safety in relation to EMMS. As part of the research, a mixed-method before-and-after study of EMMS implementation will be conducted in hospitals in Australia, followed by a comparative study across four European countries (UK, France, Italy, Norway).  The aims are to develop theory and method for EMMS evaluation, investigate whether and how EMMS can support organisational resilience in the use of medicines, and provide (locally/nationally-adjusted) guidance for implementation.
The fellow brings to the study experience in sociotechnical studies informed by theories that emphasize contextual influences on cognition and decision making, and capture emergent systems’ properties/behaviours. The hosts and partners are leaders in patient safety, with expertise in human factors and mixed-methods. The research will create opportunities for professional development and knowledge exchanges and strengthen the network of participant organisations. It will deliver knowledge and instruments for the benefit of patients, clinicians, healthcare organisations and society overall.
SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A THERMO-MECHANICAL WOOD PULP REFINER

Thermomechanical pulp is an important process for producing fibrous mass used in papermaking. A two-level control strategy that stabilizes and optimizes the refining process has been developed. The Stabilization layer consists of a multivariable model predicative range controller that regulates the refiner line operations. The Quality Optimization layer provides the pulp quality control as measured by an online pulp quality (freeness fibre length) sensor. This control strategy leverages the natural decoupling in the process. The modular design technique is able to handle multiple refiner lines that empty into a common latency chest. A global optimizer is also used to integrate and coordinate the two layers for enhanced constraint handling.
Hydrological Variability and Changes in the Arctic Circumpolar Tundra and the Three Largest Pan-Arctic River Basins from 2002 to 2016

The Arctic freshwater budget is critical for understanding the climate in the northern regions. However, the hydrology of the Arctic circumpolar tundra region (ACTR) and the largest pan-Arctic rivers are still not well understood. In this paper, we analyze the spatiotemporal variations in the terrestrial water storage (TWS) of the ACTR and three of the largest pan-Arctic river basins (Lena, Mackenzie, Yukon). To do this, we utilize monthly Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) data from 2002 to 2016. Together with global land reanalysis, and river runoff data, we identify declining TWS trends throughout the ACTR that we attribute largely to increasing evapotranspiration driven by increasing summer air temperatures. In terms of regional changes, large and significant negative trends in TWS are observed mainly over the North American continent. At basin scale, we show that, in the Lena River basin, the autumnal TWS signal persists until the spring of the following year, while in the Mackenzie River basin, the TWS level in the autumn and winter has no significant impact on the following year. As expected global warming is expected to be particularly significant in the northern regions, our results are important for understanding future TWS trends, with possible further decline.
TUDESLOVE II

This Decentralized Tourism project between Italy and Slovenia is the natural development of projects “TUDESLOVE” and “CULTUCADSES” (Culture in the North – Cadses area) funded under Community Initiative Programme INTERREG II. Specifically, it serves to implement and enhance the tourist-cultural itineraries set up in the context of past experiences, and to integrate them with new thematic routes that have not yet attracted mass tourism. The project entails the establishment of alternative routes on the Italian and Slovenian territory - mainly by enhancing the existing system of fortifications in Veneto - and the creation of a system of Centres of cultural excellence, also in order to regenerate areas of the territory that would otherwise be most likely abandoned. In order to ensure the dissemination of information on these alternative cultural itineraries and to encourage cultural tourism also in the inland area of Venice and along the Slovenian coast (Piran and Koper/Capodistria), territorial marketing actions are envisaged as well as national and international promotional events. The partnership for “cultural tourism” between Italy and Slovenia aims at a joint planning of cultural events and projects, in order to improve the quality of tourism and to increase the number of jobs in this sector.
Optimum design of mounting components of a mass property measurement system

Abstract Measurement of inertia properties of aerospace vehicle and submarine are vital to meet the intended motion objectives. The Moment of Inertia (MOI) is calculated by measuring the frequency of free torsional oscillation of the object mounted on a nearly friction less air bearing. For getting accurate measurement and to nullify the effect of undesired vibrations, the stiffness of the different components of the mounting and fixture (torsion rod, flexure) should be maintained appropriately. The optimum design of torsion rod and flexure is based on ensuring desired natural frequencies in different modes. Initiating with an analytical approach, the actual dimensions of the components are determined based on natural frequencies obtained by finite element analysis of the components. Simulated results are verified with experimental results.
Did the quarantine period of covid-19 interfere with the physical demands of central referees and assistants in professional soccer in a high level competition in Brazil?

This study compares the performance demanded from central referees and soccer assistants during professional games before and after the quarantine of COVID-19 during the same competition.Ten central referees and 19 assistants were monitored. Using a watch with Global Positioning System technology and a heart rate monitor, data were obtained of the distance they moved and information on their heart rate. A game before the quarantine period was compared to a game played 128 days after the quarantine period. These participants represented all the referees who played at least one game in the pre- and post-quarantine period of the same high-level competition in Brazil.The results indicated that the total distance, average, and maximum heart rate did not present significant differences between the pre-and post-quarantine time of the central and assistant referees, except for the distance covered by the assistant referees in the second half, which was significantly greater in the post-quarantine period (Δ% = 6.27; P = 0.034). In conclusion, the central referees and assistants' performance was not affected after the 128-day quarantine period compared to the traditional transition period between the 37-day seasons.Cette étude compare les performances exigées des arbitres centraux et des assistants de football lors de matchs professionnels avant et après la mise en quarantaine pour COVID-19 lors de la même compétition.Dix arbitres centraux et 19 assistants ont été suivis. À l’aide d’une montre dotée de la technologie Global Positioning System et d’un moniteur de fréquence cardiaque, des données ont été obtenues sur la distance parcourue et des informations sur leur fréquence cardiaque. Un jeu avant la période de quarantaine a été comparé à un jeu joué 128 jours après la période de quarantaine. Ces participants représentaient tous les arbitres qui ont joué au moins un match dans la période pré et post-quarantaine de la même compétition de haut niveau au Brésil.Les résultats ont indiqué que la distance totale, la fréquence cardiaque moyenne et maximale ne présentaient pas de différences significatives entre le temps avant et après la quarantaine des arbitres centraux et assistants, à l’exception de la distance parcourue par les arbitres assistants en seconde période, qui était significativement plus élevée dans la période post-quarantaine (Δ % = 6,27 ; p = 0,034). En conclusion, les performances des arbitres centraux et des assistants n’ont pas été affectées après la période de quarantaine de 128 jours, comparativement à la période de transition traditionnelle entre les saisons de 37 jours.
