Quantum sorter

Q-SORT introduces a revolutionary concept whereby the TEM is employed as a Quantum Sorter. All TEM techniques are in fact limited to the imaging and energy spectroscopy of the electron wavefunction. Moreover, when a single sample property is sought, most of the image information is useless, a waste that cannot be afforded in dose-sensitive materials. The Quantum Sorter leverages the recently-acquired capacity to structure e-beams, which implies that if, in a quantum experiment (tunable state preparation, interaction, analysis), the analysis is performed over the ‘optimal’ basis of quantum states, very few electrons are necessary for the full characterisation of a sought property, i.e. the TEM can be tuned to answer a single question but with maximum efficiency. To this end, Q-SORT introduces a new parallel analysis strategy, based on a suitable conformal mapping of the wavefunction: the starting point is the analysis of orbital angular momentum (OAM), but building a recipe for diagonalising a wider range of observables is one of the planned Breakthroughs of Q-SORT. This will in turn allow Q-SORT to achieve three other high-risk Breakthroughs of vast applicability: assessing the OAM of plasmonic resonances in select nanoparticles, achieving atomic-resolution magnetic dichroism, identifying different proteins based on selected properties. We believe that the Quantum Sorter will become so important that it will eventually be part of every state-of-the-art TEM, since the new technology is easy to integrate with energy-loss spectrometry. The project consortium includes some of the world leaders in optical and electronic vortex beams, as well as in protein cryoTEM. A major industrial partner in TEM is included, so as to secure market penetration of technological outcomes. The project avails itself of established resource and IPR management techniques. Gender balance and equal opportunities will be ensured. A comprehensive outreach and dissemination strategy is foreseen.
Lice cultivator: fast mechanical cultivator reducing fuel and herbicide use

At the time of soil management for cultivation, herbicides have become one of the most significant advancements. Despite its useful side, herbicides are well known at the present to be enormously pollutant for soils and watercourses as well as crops. Nowadays, innovation on the field of undesired weeds removal is based on the search of less harmful methods as mechanical rotary herbicides or rotary cultivators that, at the same time, present some disadvantages: due to the discs shape they provoke compaction of the soil underneath causing floods and dewatering of lowers layers, as well as present a lot of resistance when moving due to their disc shape and materials, moved thanks to the engine power transmission shaft in a very slow and inefficiently way, provoking a big waste of fuel and associated GHG emissions. CAVALLERETTI, and Italian company from Ferrara, has invented a revolutionary system based on a patented and long-lasting cultivator discs, rollers cut and general design performing an efficient cultivation of the soil for planting bedding. LICE cultivator allows a fast work increasing the speed four times (from 5 kmts. to 20) saving the 30% of fuel, therefore decreasing the level of GHG emissions and saving money, preventing floods and avoiding the use of chemical herbicides and fertilisers as it turns the removed and chopped weeds in organic compost. LICE is expected to bring to the company in the 5 ys. after full commercialization a total accumulated turnover of €28M, with a profit of €8,7M, a R.O.I. of 4,8 and a positive impact regarding employment with 26 job creation. It has to be said that global tractor machinery market sales figure is forecast to reach 2,8 thousand tractor units by 2023 growing at a CAGR of around 5% accompanied with a big demand and exigence of a growing sector that needs more sustainable and efficient tools.

Site-Directed rna editing to manipulate rna and protein function

Enzymatically active RNA-guided proteins, like the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC), are particularly versatile tools for the rationally programmed manipulation of genetic information. After successful re-addressing of various natural RNA-guided machineries it is now time to tackle the engineering of novel, user-defined tools. With this respect we have recently achieved the engineering of an RNA-guided adenosine-to-inosine RNA editing machinery. Since inosine is biochemically read as guanosine, A-to-I editing alters genomic information on the RNA-level and may potentially allow for the manipulation of RNA processing or protein function. We have already achieved to apply our RNA editing approach for the repair of several missense and nonsense point mutations on reporter and disease-related genes in vitro and demonstrated its applicability in mammalian cell culture.

Now, we want to push the method further towards application. To enable editing in oocytes, primary cells and neurons, we will establish to deliver the editing tool by lentiviral vectors and stabilized mRNAs. We further aim to create cell lines expressing the artificial editing machinery under conditional control. We will repair reporter genes in developing worm oocytes, and we want to reconstitute mutations that cause neuro-diseases. We also wish to establish new features including photocontrol and the application of editing to steer protein localization.

If successful, site-directed RNA editing will enable us to manipulate RNA and protein function in a yet unprecedented way. The ready introduction of point mutations into mRNAs without the need for genomic engineering may dramatically facilitate the study of protein function, disease mechanism and may even allow for the treatment of diseases based on personalized genetic information.
Restless and confused

Purpose The purpose of this study is to examine the nature of the emotions experienced by targets of bullying in the workplace. Design/methodology/approach A sample of 180 employees in Canada took part in a cross‐sectional self‐report survey study. Findings The study found that, for men, in the presence of belittlement and work being undermined, verbal abuse was negatively associated with confusion, suggesting an active coping strategy. In contrast, for women, in the presence of belittlement and work being undermined, verbal abuse was positively associated with confusion, suggesting a passive coping strategy. Research limitations/implications Although this study's cross‐sectional methodology provided a static snapshot of the emotions of bullying, it may be informative to capture emotions as they arise in response to specific episodes and forms of bullying as well as in response to repeated acts of bullying. Practical implications Workers should be offered resources for understanding and coping constructively with their emotions, training in interpersonal sensitivity to become more aware of and responsive to others' feelings, and the opportunity to work in respectful workplace climates. Originality/value Specific emotions were examined that are associated with exposure to different forms of bullying, and the career‐related implications of these findings are discussed.

Spaceinvader – gain value from empty and unused cargo space

500 million EURO pallets are used in 4 billion cargo transports every year in Europe. The pallet infrastructure in central to European cargo as transporters can use and leave pallets with minimal transactions costs, as all parties involved use the same standard. This market standard is central to efficiency.

The problem
While the infrastructure is established and well-functioning, the efficiency is decreasing in recent years resulting in higher CO2 costs and inefficient marginal cost per pallet.
The efficiency is decreasing as weight per pallet is decreasing; leaving unused weight & volume potential as most trucks can carry more weight & volume than what is currently loaded. The main issue is the lack of floor space, and that pallets are not easily stacked on top of each other, leaving unused volume in the top space of the truck.

Our solution 
The solution is an extension of the present EURO pallet technology to accommodate the decrease in cargo weight. SpaceInvader ApS has developed a multilayers pallet stacking system, called the SpaceInvader. 
Combined with existing equipment, the SpaceInvader enable pallets to be stacked in two layers and thereby use the free top space capacity available in 80-90 % of all truck transportations. 
The potential value of the solution for transportation companies is very high, as the sector makes revenue and compete on very low marginal costs. By being able to fully optimize the load of their trucks, transportation companies become more competitive, and can reduce their carbon footprint by simply having to drive fewer times in order to deliver the same amount of goods. 
Based on initial input from large test customers (ASKO, SuperGros, Danske Fragtmænd), we have chosen a business model where a set of SpaceInvaders will be rented out for 65 € a month. The expected value for the transportation company is 260 € a month, meaning the cost of renting a set of SpaceInvaders will be covered after just one week of use.
Beam-Steered reconfigurable optical-wireless system for energy-efficient communication – proving the concept

Worldwide, wireless communication traffic is growing at a staggering pace. Driven by digitalization of nearly every aspect of our lives and by the ‘Fourth Industrial Revolution’, the numbers of mobile broadband devices as well as the proliferation of small sensing and actuating devices (the ‘Internet of Things’) are exploding. The vast majority of wireless traffic is generated indoors, and radio-based wireless networks such as Wi-Fi are getting into severe states of traffic congestion.

By means of Optical Wireless Communication (OWC), vast new spectrum bands can be opened without licensing needs, which provides relief to the use of congested unlicensed radio-spectrums. We have developed OWC by means of ultra-high capacity 2D-steered narrow infrared optical beams. Our research group recently made a breakthrough by improving the download speed of indoor Wi-Fi by a factor beyond 300x compared to conventional Wi-Fi via radio waves.  In our approach, we can devote and guarantee the full capacity to each separate device in the room. This is an extensive improvement to the current technologies, which are allocating the available capacity among all the users in a shared fashion.

The technical and pre-commercialisation work in this PoC project will equip us with the sufficient IP protection strategy, patent portfolio, business plan, industry and application piloting networks, initial contacts with funding bodies and make our technology more mature, ready-to-be-taken out from the laboratory to real-life experiments.

By commercialising our novel innovation, we aim for strong global impact by developing dramatic improvement in wireless connectivity. This will concretely lead to an orders-of-magnitude higher wireless capacity per user, reduced energy consumption, improved privacy, improved resources utilization by novel networking dynamics and avoiding radio spectrum licensing issues.
GEN-PRODIS Approach for Determining Total Cost in Disassembly Sequencing Problem<sup></sup>

Disassembly sequence planning not only reduces product life cycle cost, but also greatly influences environmental impact. Industrial recycling and remanufacturing involves product disassembly to retrieve the desired parts and/or subassemblies by separating a product into its constituents. Disassembly has recently gained a great deal of attention in the literature due to its role in product recovery. Disassembly sequencing and planning is more challenging than assembly because its terminal goal is not necessarily fixed, but may depend on product usage and market demands for used parts and recycled materials. Moreover, disassembly is accompanied by more uncertainty in system structures and component conditions than is assembly. This paper presents recent methods for sequencing and process planning in disassembly and the applications to industrial products. This research is aimed at determining the optimal disassembly sequence as well as the helps to find the sequence dependent cost.
An optofluidic platform based on liquid-gradient refractive index microlens for the isolation and quantification of extracellular vesicles

Extracellular vesicles (EVs) describe distinct populations of small (30-200 nm) and large (500 nm-2 μm)
microvesicles actively or passively secreted by cells. Whilst, they are recognized as promising biomarkers for
diseases diagnosis, prognosis and therapy, their purification, selective enrichment, and characterization remains
immensely challenging. The goal of the current proposal is to develop an optofluidic platform able to
manipulate and characterize single EVs and facilitate their efficient purification and quantitation from
biological samples. The optofluidic platform will incorporate a dynamically reconfigurable optical lattice
(constructed from a liquid gradient refractive index - L-GRIN microlens) for separation followed by a viscoelastic
focusing module for single EV imaging. The strength of the interaction between a nanoparticle and the optical
lattice will depend on the optical polarizability of the particle, thus providing a size selection criterion to allow
identification and isolation. Put simply, we aim to develop a size-selective optofluidic platform integrated for
non-invasive EVs sorting and fractionation that can be applied to a wide range of biological matrices and
addresses the most challenging technological bottleneck in EVs research.
Churchill’s British atomic relations with Malan’s government in South Africa, 1951-1954.

In 1951 Churchill assumed office for the second time as Prime Minister of Britain and renewed the effort to sway once again a Commonwealth sentiment on a Nationalistic DF Malan in their atomic relations. The period marked the beginning of an increased quest for uranium residue for peaceful and military purposes by the principal state actors in the World Wars. It is suggested that Britain used its Commonwealth links with the Union of South Africa to gain an edge in the atomic field for the first decade after the Second World War, and became a gate-keeper through which the United States had to seek authorisation. After consulting multi-archival sources in Britain, Canada and South Africa, I argue against this assertion by Richie Ovendale. The British Commonwealth connection was not so imperative in the late 40s and between 1951 and 1954, It was not so much a Commonwealth instinct that saw to collaboration between Britain and South Africa, but rather Malan’s decision to use its uranium as political leverage, particularly when global attention was shifting to Australia as an alternative uranium supply.
Innovative Actions for Trade and Enterprise in the Mediterranean

The final aim of INNOVATE-MED is to design coordinated strategies and set up innovative actions that enhance the potential for MED SMEs to act in an international market. The strategy will be designed on 3 levels. Firstly, common strategies will be developed between territorial authorities and the business community to support innovative clusters for internationalisation, to overcome the typical Med SMEs fragmented system and widespread generalised problems facing traditional economic sectors requiring modernization, partnership and diversification to better compete in international markets. Secondly, at cluster level, innovative internationalisation actions for enterprises will benefit the whole local economy and create and consolidate trade and partnership opportunities with similar actors in other partner regions. This is based on peer learning to allow guidance in developing innovative actions to be experimented at strategic level. Thirdly, as pilot actions, the partners will design an experimental marketing strategy for 2 horizontal clusters in sectors traditionally strong but in need of modernization, partnership and promotion to be competitive internationally and analyse market opportunities for innovative products. The active involvement of Chambers of Commerce and development agencies will ensure the bottom-up involvement of the key business stakeholders and a top-down process of capitalisation of results for territorial economic growth.
COSMIC

It is remarkably easy to offload processing to Intel's newest manycore coprocessor, the Xeon-Phi: it supports a popular ISA (x86-based), a popular OS (Linux) and a popular programming model (OpenMP). Unfortunately, easy portability does not automatically ensure high performance. Additional programmer effort is necessary to leverage the new performance-oriented hardware features. But programmer optimizations alone are insufficient. Multiprocessing is also necessary to improve hardware utilization, and Linux makes it easy for processes to share the manycore coprocessor. However multiprocessing inefficiencies can easily offset gains made by the programmer. Our experiments on a production, high-performance Xeon server with multiple Xeon Phi coprocessors show that multiprocessing on coprocessors not only slows down the processes but also introduces unreliability (some processes crash unexpectedly). We propose a new, user-level middleware called COSMIC that improves performance and reliability of multiprocessing on coprocessors like the Xeon Phi. COSMIC seamlessly fits in the existing Xeon Phi software stack and is transparent to programmers. It manages Xeon Phi processes that execute parallel regions offloaded to the coprocessors. Offloads typically have programmer-driven performance directives like thread and affinity requirements. Unlike the existing Xeon Phi software stack, COSMIC does fair scheduling of both processes and offloads, and takes into account conflicting requirements of offloads belonging to different processes. By doing so, COSMIC has two clear benefits. First, it improves multiprocessing performance by preventing thread and memory oversubscription, by avoiding inter-offload interference and by reducing load imbalance on coprocessors and cores. Second, it increases multiprocessing reliability by exploiting programmer-specified per-process coprocessor memory requirements to completely avoid memory oversubscription and crashes. Our experiments on several representative Xeon Phi workloads show that, in a multiprocessing environment, COSMIC improves average core utilization by up to 3 times, reduces make-span by up to 52%, reduces average process latency (turn-around-time) by 70%, and completely eliminates process crashes.

Negotiating Places of Incorporation: Comparing the Practices of Community Development Organisations in Immigration and Incorporation

Negotiations over immigration in place involve interactions and encounters of immigrant and non-immigrant actors, organisations and institutions. This study analyses the role of community development organisations in these negotiations and compares organisations in Winnipeg, Canada, Providence, the USA, and Copenhagen, Denmark, through two relational frameworks—incorporation and relational urban comparatives. In these three cases, state resources influenced organisational structures, and state narratives acted as ‘focusing events’ shaping the content of organisational work. Organisations with the greatest resources and capacity to negotiate were least accountable to residents and least connected to their experiences. Variety within and between cases provides suggestions for strengthened practice with regard to immigration, settlement and membership. These include the importance of—and possibility for—creating deeper organisational democracy, enabling organisations to include the cultural skills of immigra...
