Train pantograph equipped with diagnostic system for reduction of faults and maintenance cost

A pantograph is an apparatus mounted on the roof of trains for collecting energy through contact with the overhead contact line.
In Europe each year 5% of the running train fleet is affected by major faults on the overhead contact line, whose penalty cost amounts approximately at €40kper fault (4.6M€/year for a fleet of 2000 trains), plus the overall loss of time, efficiency, and quality of the service.
DIAG PANTOGRAPH aims to launch to the market an innovative diagnostic pantograph and diagnostic kit for low speed trains (90% of the EU train fleet, 2.8k in Italy and over 14k estimated in EU28), introducing novel diagnostic and control features coupled with a new design of the contact strip and electronic monitoring technologies, strongly increasing the reliability and availability of pantographs and catenary, drastically reducing maintenance costs and the occurrence of failures of pantographs and catenary. Furthermore, the eco-design strip allows to reuse 100% of not worn carbon strip carriers (40 tons) and 100% recycling of wasted carbon (60 tons). Additionally cameras will be installed on drones by improving the quality of maintenance, while further reducing maintenance costs and occupational accidents. Average cost reduction for a large EU operator>3 M€/year).
Since almost 90% of trains’ fleets is composed by low speed trains, the criticality of increasing the reliability and availability of the low speed rails system is evident.
Rail freight industry reached 286 Bln€ in 2016 growing at a CAGR 7% while the passenger rail sector reached 210 Bln€ in 2015 growing at a CAGR of 24% since 2010.
CONTACT received requests for quotations from key clients, such as SBB, Hitachi Rail and Bombardier, regarding the application of diagnostic systems for new and also in service pantographs. It foresees that DIAG-PANTOGRAPH supports the CONTACT growths generating within 5 years after project a total turnover of €32mln and a total cash flow of €6.9mln with a ROI of 477%.
developing the culture of fire risk

Agricultural abandonment is causing maritime forest areas to expand. The forest has multiple functions, including tourism, recreational activities, deforestation, soil protection and ecological balance, and must be preserved. The fragile Mediterranean forest is the main victim of global warming and is subject to a prolonged fire risk. 8 out of 10 fires are due to malicious acts or lack of awareness. This requires prevention. To help the concerned populations prevent and fight fires, they must be informed about the risks, obligations and measures to take in the event of an alarm. The Med PSS project aims to develop the fire risk culture with different objectives. When people are informed and made aware of the fragility of the Mediterranean and about risky behaviours, fires and material and human damage in case of fire decrease. This project expects to obtain the following main results: state of the art identification of people teaching prevention and taking charge during alerts (in case of increased risk and declared fire), pilot projects, development of targeted communication tools, production of a methodological guide for the dissemination of good practices for preventive communication and alerts. The project partners wish to have more effective studies and common tools; they will implement pilot projects in the cross-border area.

Defect microstructural evolution in ion irradiated metallic nanofoils: Kinetic Monte Carlo simulation versus cluster dynamics modeling and <i>in situ</i> transmission electron microscopy experiments

Understanding materials degradation under intense irradiation is important for the development of next generation nuclear power plants. Here we demonstrate that defect microstructural evolution in molybdenum nanofoils in situ irradiated and observed on a transmission electron microscope can be reproduced with high fidelity using an object kinetic Monte Carlo (OKMC) simulation technique. Main characteristics of defect evolution predicted by OKMC, namely, defect density and size distribution as functions of foil thickness, ion fluence and flux, are in excellent agreement with those obtained from the in situ experiments and from previous continuum-based cluster dynamics modeling. The combination of advanced in situ experiments and high performance computer simulation/modeling is a unique tool to validate physical assumptions/mechanisms regarding materials response to irradiation, and to achieve the predictive power for materials stability and safety in nuclear facilities.
Natural enemies of soft scale insects (Hemiptera: Coccoidea: Coccidae) in Australian vineyards

Background and Aims

There is increasing interest in using natural enemies to control pests in viticulture, but in Australian vineyards, this is often hampered by a lack of information on enemies of particular pest groups. Here we provide an assessment for the first time of the natural enemies of coccids of grapevines.
Methods and Results

The main coccid pest, Parthenolecanium persicae, was attacked by the parasitoid Metaphycus maculipennis, which constituted 75% of the parasitoids collected from this species. The second most abundant coccid in Australia vineyards, Parthenolecanium pruinosum, was attacked only by one parasitoid, Coccophagus lycimnia. The most common coccinellid predator was Rhyzobius pulchellus, whereas other coccinellids including Cryptolaemus montrouzieri were less common. Several other coleopteran species as well as the moth Mataeomera dubia and several neuroptera are also likely to be important coccid predators.
Conclusions

These results point to a complex and much wider range of natural enemies attacking vineyard Coccidae than previously appreciated, although P. pruinosum may have few enemies.
Significance of the Study

Grapevine scale pests have an array of natural enemies including parasitoids, beetles, moth larvae and lacewings, highlighting the importance of maintaining a diverse insect community in vineyards for biological control.

Support MPAs effectiveness through strong and connected networks in the Mediterranean

Despite the increase of Marine Protected Area (MPAs) coverage in the Mediterranean, the objective of maintaining marine biodiversity is far from being met. MPAs are facing several pressures and still lack human capacity, skills and financial resources. Through strong, active and connected networks of MPA managers, the MPA NETWORKS project will help achieve effectively managed MPAs by providing sustainable solutions to challenges requiring a supra-MPA approach: management effectiveness, small scale fisheries management, mobile species conservation and sustainable financing. The project will support testing and adaptation of tools and recommendations from previous projects to improve marine conservation on selected pilot sites and facilitate the transfer of lessons learnt and best practices to the MPA community around the Mediterranean. Networks of MPA managers will be developed and reinforced at national, supra-national and Mediterranean levels, and a regular thematic capacity building programme will be set-up. Networking activities will facilitate exchanges between MPA managers and other actors, capitalisation of good practices and increased knowledge. This approach will be amplified by connecting networks. Through joined forces of networks and a dynamic bottom-up approach linking experience on the ground and decision-making processes, MPA voices will be coordinated and joined recommendations will support policy-making at international, European, and national level.
iPS/ES Cell can Ameliorate the Failing Heart?

Great number of patients with a failing heart have only poor prognosis without a heart transplantation all over theworld. Therefore, an innovation of cardiac regeneration therapy is quite necessary for them. ES cells and inducible pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which have multipotency to postnatal organs, can easily differentiate into beating cardiomyocyte in vitro. However, in vivo situation, they have not yet provided a clinical privilege to cardiovascular patients because of uncontrollable teratoma formation and primitive cardiomyocytes in host myocardium post transplantation. To overcome the future of iPS/ES cells without a milestone that ameliorates a failing heart, iPS and ES cells are quite needed a splendid harmony between differentiated-cardiomyocyte and host myocardium. Furthermore, human iPS cells derived from various somatic cells still have not enough quality to cardiac regeneration accompanied with poorly reprogramming. Cardiac stem/progenitor cells existing in cardiac niche can be good candidates for “predetermined elite” cells, predisposed to reprogramming. iPS cells derived from failing heart, e.g. ischemic and non-ischemic cardiomyopathy, will be a powerful tool of disease researching and drug screening. Through a genetic or epigenetic modification of iPS and ES cells, we will be able to discover a reliable route to clinical privilege against a failing heart.
Microfluidic platform for intra-operative tumor immunohistochemistry

We propose to develop an automated microfluidic platform for rapid analysis of the margins of frozen resections of tumors. It will allow cancer cells to be specifically distinguished from healthy cells during the time course of the surgical intervention itself via an immunohistochemistry (IHC) staining protocol completed in 5 minutes. The interest of such platform is that late-positivity, which is defined as the detection of cancer cells within the resection margin of the tumor by means of classical IHC after surgery, can be reduced or even avoided. Patients diagnosed with latepositive margins carry a high risk of cancer recurrence due to possible tumor cells left in the body. Intra-operative margin assessment of tumor resections is already done to evaluate the presence of such remaining cancer cells using different techniques. The most common one is microscopic morphological examination by applying hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining on cryo-sectioned surgical specimens, because it can be done easily in a matter of minutes. However, the major drawback of this method is the lack of cancer cell-specific staining: the interpretation relies only on morphology and small numbers of cancer cells infiltrating into healthy tissue are not easily recognizable. We therefore will develop a platform that can perform IHC together with H&E staining on cryo-sectioned samples within 5 minutes. Combining IHC that targets cancer cell-specific proteins with H&E staining will show unequivocally the presence of cancer cells and minimize those variations in the outcome of the analysis that originate from the pathologist’s personal interpretation. It will potentially decrease the recurrence rate, increase the success of post-operative treatment, and reduce unnecessary surgical rescissions.
Analysis of the major particle-size based foulants responsible for ultrafiltration membrane fouling in polluted raw water

Abstract This paper focused on the major particle-size based foulants responsible for membrane fouling of ultrafiltration in simulated surface water polluted by sewage discharge. The experiment was conducted with a sequential filtration process, pre-filtration steps removed specific foulants (1.2 μm, 0.45 μm, 100 kDa and 10 kDa) from raw water with different membranes, and followed filtration tests were performed to investigate the fouling caused by remaining foulants. Flux decline and specific fouling resistance of different fractioned substances were compared to identify the particle-size based foulants most responsible for membrane fouling. The normalized flux decline showed that foulants over 1.2 μm had limited influence on flux decline, but that the 100 kDa–0.45 μm fraction contributed a significant part. Results of specific fouling resistance revealed that the 100 kDa–0.45 μm fraction caused higher fouling resistance than other fractions with the same quality of organic matter, and this fraction was confirmed to be most closely related to protein-like substances. Component analysis demonstrated that protein-like substances played a crucial role in membrane fouling, whereas humic-like substances were of minor relevance. Standard blocking and cake filtration were major mechanisms of membrane fouling caused by pre-filtered water, independent of the pore size of fractionation membranes.

Selecting an ignition criterion methodology for use in a radiative fire spread submodel

Research is ongoing to increase the functionality of the fire zone modeling software BRANZFIRE, by converting it from a deterministic to a probabilistic model. One component of this work is the development of a radiative fire spread submodel for which a suitable ignition criterion method is needed. This paper provides details of that ignition criterion procedure and its implementation into the submodel.



A list of requirements that the ignition methodology had to satisfy was established. Of the many different piloted ignition models available, the Flux–Time Product technique, and its associated ignition criterion, was selected to be incorporated into the fire spread submodel. This method provides a practical engineering approximation of when a secondary fuel item that is subjected to incident radiation will ignite that is commensurate with the accuracy of the overall model.



Primarily to demonstrate the use of the technique in the submodel, a series of ignition experiments were conducted on a single example of upholstered furniture using the Cone Calorimeter apparatus, with specimens tested in both the horizontal and vertical orientation, under piloted and auto ignition conditions. The experimental incident radiation and time-to-ignition data, for the piloted ignition mode, was analyzed using a modified Flux–Time Product correlation procedure.



To deal with the auto ignition mode, an empirical approximation, based on the modified Flux–Time Product procedure, is proposed. Data for use in the submodel was therefore also derived for the auto ignition mode, based on an experimental determination of the minimum ignition flux. Copyright © 2010 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
O62. Use of diuretics in the management of late-onset preeclampsia

Introduction Hemodynamic examinations revealed high cardiac output (CO) in a portion of preeclamptic patients. These cases in our study population met the criteria for late-onset subtype of the disease as hypertension and proteinuria appeared beyond the 33rd gestational week. Objectives To decrease enormously high blood volume, as the possible reason for hypertension and edema, diuretics were applied in preeclamptic women with high CO, and edema. Methods After a short rest on the left lateral recumbent position, blood pressure (BP), and, by the use of impedance cardiography, CO and systemic vascular resistance (SVR) were determined. In the absence of relative hemoconcentration (hematocrit   37 l/l) 40 mg of furosemide was administrated orally in 10 cases. Examinations were repeated after 60 minutes of rest. Looking for the effects of the diuretics identical data (before and after furosemide medication) were compared by paired t -test. Significant difference was determined as p 0.05. Results In most of cases furosemide administration resulted in a lowering of CO and also BP. Heart rate and SVR remained stable, therefore change of CO was due to blood volume decrease. Download : Download full-size image Conclusion Our preliminary data draw attention to the possible use of diuretics in the management of late-onset preeclampsia and support the presumption that increased water retention may play a role in the development of hypertension in late-onset gestational hypertension or preeclampsia. Our data also suggest that the pathogenesis of late-onset preeclampsia is basically different from “classical” preeclampsia characterized by low CO. *The study was supported by TAMOP 4.2.2.D-15/1/KONV-2015-0004
