Pitfalls on our “New Royal Road”: Commentary on Paper by Joyce Slochower

In discussing Joyce Slochower’s paper “Going Too Far: Relational Heroines and Relational Excess,” (this issue) the author welcomes its self-critical emphasis, suggesting that analysts from all schools of thought benefit more from noticing the risks and pitfalls in their own approach—thus becoming able to improve their own clinical work—than from polemically highlighting what is faulty in other, competing approaches. Such polemics run a risk of their own: turning our theoretical homes into theoretical fortresses, and blocking richer communication among analysts. He shares the concern about some specific attributes of relational and intersubjective clinical work but relates many of the issues raised by Slochower to tensions and dilemmas present in older models of the analytic relationship as well, offering examples from the work of Freud, Ferenczi, Balint, Winnicott, and Racker.
A Trust Model for Competitive Cloud Federations

This paper proposes a trust model for a competitive federation of Cloud computing systems. The reference scenario is a large-scale environment in which different Cloud providers compete in offering their pay-per-use XaaS (Anything as a Service) resources to the various users. In this context, to obtain the assignment of a user request, providers may state to possess more resources than the amount really available: the result could be the provisioning of a services with a lower QoS than expected. A trust model is thus mandatory to help the requester to properly choose the adequate provider on the basis of (i) the reliability shown in the past in providing services, and (ii) the reputation the provider has to other users. In this sense, the paper presents an extension to the RRAF model, which has been suitably adapted to a large-scale environment by means of the introduction of a multi-dimensional approach which fits the various reliability issues, typical of Cloud computing systems.
Aggravating O3 pollution due to NOx emission control in eastern China

During the past five years, China has witnessed a rapid drop of nitrogen oxides (NOx) owing to the wildly-applied rigorous emission control strategies across the country. However, ozone (O3) pollution was found to steadily deteriorate in most part of eastern China, especially in developed regions such as Jing-Jin-Ji (JJJ), Yangtze River Delta region (YRD) and Pearl River Delta region (PRD). To shed more light on current O3 pollution and its responses to precursor emissions, we integrate satellite retrievals, ground-based measurements together with regional numerical simulation in this study. It is indicated by multiple sets of observational data that NOx in eastern China has declined more than 25% from 2012 to 2016. Based on chemical transport modeling, we find that O3 formation in eastern China has changed from volatile organic compounds (VOCs) sensitive regime to the mixed sensitive regime due to NOx reductions, substantially contributing to the recent increasing trend in urban O3. In addition, such transitions tend to bring about an ~1-1.5 h earlier peak of net O3 formation rate. We further studied the O3 precursors relationships by conducting tens of sensitivity simulations to explore potential ways for effective O3 mitigation. It is suggested that the past control measures that only focused on NOx may not work or even aggravate O3 pollution in the city clusters. In practice, O3 pollution in the three regions is expected to be effectively mitigated only when the reduction ratio of VOCs/NOx is greater than 2:1, indicating VOCs-targeted control is a more practical and feasible way.
Cross-border participative planning in areas of major naturalistic value in the Southern Julian Alps

The project regards the drawing up of a joint plan for the protection and management of the cross-border area that includes, in Italy, the Natural Park of Julian Pre-Alps and the Northern Julian Prealps SCI - Site of Community Importance and, in Slovenia, the National Park of Triglav and the Natura 2000 and MAB-Unesco areas located in the Municipalities of Bovec (Plezzo) and Kobarid (Caporetto). In order to draw up a plan, that represents an essential tool to coordinate the relation between nature and the impact of man on nature, the project envisages the establishment of a Permanent Joint Work Group made up of representatives of the two park management authorities and the other participating partners. Local administrations and the resident population also take an active role in the definition of the plan, by expressing in the course of various Workshops their opinions, proposals and reservations with reference to its contents. The initiative aims at identifying joint forms of cross-border management in this area of major environmental interest, by favouring its sustainable development and fighting abandonment. The project also aims at consolidating the knowledge of existing naturalistic, landscape, cultural and socio-economic values, improving mutual knowledge among the partners through the exchange of experiences, and at fostering the sense of identity among local communities.
World'S most individual bikes and e-bikes

Despite the growing demand of bikes and e-bikes in urban European spaces, individualization, ergometric aspects, and parameters related to different types of usage (urban, race, mountain, etc.) are generally not taken into account in bikes mass production, which leads to physical problems, such as dorsal pain, joint pain and knee pain. Although these inconveniences can be excluded by purchasing individualized bikes and e-bikes, the high prices and long delivery times of custom-made bike builders (of up to several months) hold back many of potential users.
Our concept with MI-BIKE is to offer 100% custom-made bikes produced by the principles of industrial mass production built on medical & orthopaedic parameters for optimal, comfortable and healthy use. For this purpose, we have developed (with the collaboration with medical and orthopaedic institutions) an algorithm which, via our online configurator, enables our customers to design their perfect bike, seeing the results in real time.  
With this project, our aim is to bring our custom-made wooden-framed bikes to the next level by making them electronic (e-bikes) and developing lightweight composite alternatives to our current wooden frames, creating MI BIKE, our lightweight bikes and e-bikes line.
Moreover, through this project we aim to boost the competitiveness of our company, reaching overall revenues of about €19 million in the fifth year of commercialization, and increasing our personnel in about 5 people. With a Phase 2 investment of 1.2 million, this would imply a Return of Investment of 6.5

Peptieuforce: a game-changing ingredient for the pre-diabetic population

Diabetes is accepted as a global and EU epidemic, with 415 million people suffering type 2 diabetes worldwide. Europe has 60 ml. diabetics, swallowing 13% of the EU healthcare budget, or €290bn. This is before we add the 318 ml. people globally with impaired glucose tolerance (prediabetics). The EU has highlighted functional foods as a valuable solution to prevent diabetes but to date, no advances of any significance have been made in scientifically proven functional food solutions in the diabetes arena. Existing methods for discovering such solutions are ancient and are exceedingly time, resource, and cost heavy. Nuritas Founder, Dr Nora Khaldi disrupts the paradigm using artificial intelligence and DNA analysis to find new disease-beating molecules in natural foodstuffs. She pioneers the field of food bioinformatics where she has won multiple EU competitive grants in her 11-year long academic research career. Recognised as having the potential to grow bigger than Facebook in size, Nuritas boasts the world’s largest peptide database, which along with a unique discovery method has helped find a groundbreaking, scientifically validated and patent-filed peptide molecule. This regulates blood sugar, which is key in the battle with diabetes type 2. Together with the exclusivity of our 20-year patent protection, it will deliver a very significant and on-going partnership with a food/pharma multinational company. Nuritas is expected to generate significant global sales by 2024 with a resultant high delivery on job creation through the development of this peptide. The significant learnings from this project will also be utilised on Nuritas’ consistently expanding portfolio of other novel life-changing molecules. The  European and global socio economic impact will be huge. This is both in terms of longer, better lives and substantial savings delivered for overstretched healthcare budgets already groaning under the ever increasing epidemic of diabetes.
Rhetoric of a troubled industry: the case of the Dundee jute industry during the inter-war period

This study examines the rhetorical strategies deployed by supporters of the Dundee jute industry (DJI) during the legislative debate surrounding British trade policy of the inter–war period. It conducts a content analysis of the House of Commons debate on 2 February, 1938 on a motion entitled 'Importations from Overseas'. This debate highlights the position and the rhetorical strategies of the jute industry through its parliamentary surrogates. Analysis suggests that rhetorical strategies challenged policy, while avoiding a direct or explicit challenge to the dominant institutional logic of free trade. This study also furthers our understanding of government–industry relations in the jute industry during the inter–war period.
Les Italiens dans les ordres militaires espagnols à l’époque des Habsbourg : une forme de « noblesse impériale » ?1

À l’extérieur de la péninsule ibérique, les Italiens représentent les principaux bénéficiaires des ordres militaires espagnols décernés par les Habsbourg. Leur distribution, étudiée à partir des expedientes de pruebas, montre la place privilégiée de nobles appartenant aux territoires italiens de la couronne espagnole mais aussi de certaines familles génoises et romaines. Ces concessions connaissent un essor important sous les règnes de Philippe III et Philippe IV qui se caractérisent par leur politique des honneurs et par une intense activité militaire (Guerre de Quatre-Vingt Ans, Guerre de Trente Ans, révoltes des années 1640). Les motivations de ces concessions, qui émergent des consultas du Conseil d’Italie, montrent l’importance que revêtent les services, principalement militaires, rendus à la Couronne par la famille du chevalier. Plus que les mérites individuels, la concession d’ordres militaires récompense ceux de lignages dont plusieurs générations se sont distinguées au service de l’Espagne de manière exceptionnelle. À l’instar de la Grandesse et de la Toison d’or, mais à un niveau plus modeste dans la hiérarchie des honneurs, la concession d’ordres militaires contribua à la formation d’une « noblesse impériale » qui participa activement au maintien de cette monarchie composite et polycentrique.
Exploring the Potential Role of Inflammation as an Etiological Process in ASD

The heterogeneity in the behavioral presentation of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) may be surpassed only by the level of heterogeneity in its etiology. There are diverse pathways to the singular diagnostic outcome of ASD, and several etiological risk factors have been proposed in recent years. This review paper examines the role of inflammation as one possible etiologic factor in ASD, juxtaposed in the context of research on the role of inflammation in other psychiatric disorders. Human, animal, and postmortem studies of inflammation in ASD were surveyed, and their direct and indirect contributions to developing potential inflammation-based treatments, as well as potential preventative considerations, in ASD were reviewed. Although the mechanisms that link inflammation and ASD remain unknown, there exists a sizable multidisciplinary literature suggesting inflammation as a trans-etiological process.
Thick Film Process Characterization for Thin Film Metallized LTCC

Low temperature cofired ceramic (LTCC) technology has proven to be invaluable in military/space electronics, wireless communication, microsystems, medical and automotive electronics, and sensors. The use of LTCC for high-frequency applications is appealing due to its low losses, design flexibility, and packaging and integration capability. The LTCC thick film process is summarized, including some unconventional process steps such as feature machining in the unfired state and thin film definition of outer layer conductors. The LTCC thick film process was characterized to optimize process yields by focusing on the following factors: (1) print location, (2) print thickness, (3) drying of tapes and panels, (4) shrinkage upon firing, and (5) via topography. Statistical methods were used to analyze critical process and product characteristics to achieve the optimization goal.
Rapid dna screening to secure the global food supply chains

Counterfeit, contaminated or non-compliant ingredients cost the global supply chain €83.5bn+ annually. Both raw ingredients & finished products can become contaminated with bacteria, allergens & undeclared substances during processing at any stage of the supply chain. Putting the situation under control results in product recalls, health risks assessments & major facility decontaminations.  
These expensive mitigation measures could be prevented by proper food testing before it is released to the next step in the food supply chain or to the consumers. Unfortunately, this rarely happens because the laboratories that carry out tests require up to 7 days to produce the results. Such long waiting times are not compatible with the product shelf lives & distribution schedules. As a result, most of food products are brought to the market without comprehensive food safety tests, which results in ~30 food recalls per week both in the EU & the US.
SwissDeCode has developed DNAFoil—world’s first portable, completely self-administered onsite DNA test, allowing food production managers to validate supply chain integrity in 30 minutes with no lab, no equipment & no disruption to the process. It also allows inspectors & food manufacturers to replace current lengthy DNA tests that are performed in the laboratories with instantaneous testing in the field.
DNAFoil already available pork DNA test will be joined by beef detection and multi-spectrum vegetal detection in 2017, shortly followed by salmonella, e. coli & listeria.
We have started commercialization through beta sales in the early access program. Our business model is B2B. Our customers operate throughout the complete value chain—food & drink producers, distributors, retailers, caterers & regulatory agencies. 
We are aiming at ~€16.7m in revenues by 2022 with 56 FTEs.

Drage&Mate International has a patented in-situ on-demand hydrogen generation process able to increase the total gravimetric energy density of the system. This improvement allows existing vehicles to multiply by 2 or even by 7 their existing range which means a very profitable new opportunity to market.

The current study will analyse how to progress to a commercial profitable product. To do that, GULWESS-PROP will validate the feasibility (technical, economic and operational) of the development and define a preliminary Business Plan.
The goal is to transform the prototype solution which is currently in a TRL6 development stage to TRL9 market commercial product by the end of phase 2.

Once GULWESS-PROP will be validated, a business chance will start-up to supply such technology to unmanned vehicles. In the close future similar system could be used in manned vehicles, and all kind of space vehicles. With this approach GULWESS-PROP will, at the end, lead a major impact within the decarbonised transportation goals in Europe. 

Although the lightweight hydrogen storage segment counts with several competitors, GULWESS-PROP has a competitive advantage over the rest of solutions related to the user experience: the final users consider that is easier to operate thanks to reactor cartridge refillable concept. 

Drage&Mate International is a Technology-Based high innovative company with proven track record within the hydrogen generation market; and with enough experience and ambition to turn the innovation of GULWESS-PROP into a sustainable product.
“Ecological, sustainable and economical non woven acoustic insulating felts for automotive industry

Non woven acoustic insulators are key elements of vehicles to enhance comfort and to avoid noises inside the vehicle. Despite automotive industry efforts towards new acoustic insulating felts with improved properties, some issues need to be acomplished: manufactures must make dismantling and recycling of end-of-life vehicles more environmentally friendly quantifying to a minimum of 85% by mass the reuse, recycling and recovery of the on end-of-life vehicles (ELVs) and their components (Directive 2000/53/EC, ELV) and this should be done at the earliest stages of development of vehicles (Directive 2005/64/EC). On the other hand, current vehicle felts are not only manufactured with petrochemical-derived materials such as polypropylene (PP) and polyester (PET) polymers which generate greenhouse gas emission effect but also highly cost, selling price of current acoustic insulators exceed €2.6/m2 on average for an insulator of 10 mm. 
To overcome these needs Arifieltros have developed GEOPET products which are more environmentally friendly and sustainable non woven acoustic insulators, since they are made of 80 % recycled natural fibers and are 100% recyclable, generating less greenhouse gas emission and complying with European Directives on ELVs. Moreover, the use of more economical raw materials, 0.75 €/Kg in comparison with 2€/Kg of petrochemicals derivatives, reduces product cost up to €1.3/m2 (10 mm thickness), in comparison with current acoustic insulators €2.6/m2. When compared to Sawasorb® (Sandler GA acoustic insulator), similar absorption performances were obtained. 
GEOPET is currently a prototype within a range of insulators with a TRL6, having successfully been tested in alpha cabin and fitted in a vehicle tested in a petit cabin. It is envisioned that we will penetrate in the automotive market with 3 prototypes GEOPET STANDARD, GEOPET PREMIUM and GEOPET XTR which have been designed to satisfying all types of vehicle passengers and segments.
EXERCISE SYSTEM AND METHOD

We here describe an exercise system and control method thereof to obtain exercise protocols relating to the individual user's optimal exercise intensity. The system and method comprise the monitoring of the transition between the aerobic and anaerobic training zones and an estimate of the maximal lactate steady state, which is an important physiological indicator of the user's cardio respiratory fitness. Together with individual models of how the user's heart rate responds to exercise intensity, it is possible to predict the needed exercise intensity that should be performed to obtain the wanted exercise goal. The analysis can (preferably) be performed in real-time during exercise.
Continuous subcortical motor evoked potential stimulation using the tip of an ultrasonic aspirator for the resection of motor eloquent lesions

Resection of a motor eloquent lesion has become safer because of intraoperative neurophysiological monitoring (IOM). Stimulation of subcortical motor evoked potentials (scMEPs) is increasingly used to optimize patient safety. So far, scMEP stimulation has been performed intermittently during resection of eloquently located lesions. Authors of the present study assessed the possibility of using a resection instrument for continuous stimulation of scMEPs.An ultrasonic surgical aspirator was attached to an IOM stimulator and was used as a monopolar subcortical stimulation probe. The effect of the aspirator's use at different ultrasound power levels (0%, 25%, 50%, 75%, and 100%) on stimulation intensity was examined in a saline bath. Afterward monopolar stimulation with the surgical aspirator was used during the resection of subcortical lesions in the vicinity of the corticospinal tract in 14 patients in comparison with scMEP stimulation via a standard stimulation electrode. During resection, the stimulation current at which an MEP response was still measurable with subcortical stimulation using the surgical aspirator was compared with the corresponding stimulation current needed using a standard monopolar subcortical stimulation probe at the same location.The use of ultrasound at different energy levels did result in a slight but irrelevant increase in stimulation energy via the tip of the surgical aspirator in the saline bath. Stimulation of scMEPs using the surgical aspirator or monopolar probe was successful and almost identical in all patients. One patient developed a new permanent neurological deficit. Transient new postoperative paresis was observed in 28% (4 of 14) of cases. Gross-total resection was achieved in 64% (9 of 14) cases and subtotal resection (> 80% of tumor mass) in 35% (5 of 14).Continuous motor mapping using subcortical stimulation via a surgical aspirator, in comparison with the sequential use of a standard monopolar stimulation probe, is a feasible and safe method without any disadvantages. Compared with the standard probe, the aspirator offers continuous information on the distance to the corticospinal tract.
