Digital Business EcoSystem Transformation

Digital transformation is a part of technological change related to digitalisation and automation in the framework of transition towards the fourth production revolution, which has significant implications, particularly for business competitiveness and employment. However, it also represents an unprecedented opportunity for improved business development, economic growth and changes in the job market. European businesses can build their strengths on advanced digital technologies and seize the range of opportunities that technologies such as the Internet of Things, big data, advanced manufacturing, robotics, 3D printing, blockchain technologies and artificial intelligence offer. Clearly, in a near future the digital transformation will foster economic growth and will become a key driver for employment. Therefore, the DigiBEST project aims at helping European regions to shape their policies to better support businesses for challenges of the digital transformation, as well as take full advantage of advanced technologies and innovative business models. The project’s role is to support European companies, especially SMEs, to acknowledge existing opportunities and possibilities for exploiting them to achieve tangible results, as well as to increase their competitiveness, which will result in improved overall economic development and employment. The state of digitisation varies across European countries and regions, and sectors. In addition, there are large disparities between large companies and SMEs. Thus, the project envisages to assist European regions and companies by researching the existing situation and assessing SMEs digital transformation problems and needs, improving policy instruments, exchange of experience and good practices, as well as increasing awareness.
Mathematical symbols as epistemic actions

Recent experimental evidence from developmental psychology and cognitive neuroscience indicates that humans are equipped with unlearned elementary mathematical skills. However, formal mathematics has properties that cannot be reduced to these elementary cognitive capacities. The question then arises how human beings cognitively deal with more advanced mathematical ideas. This paper draws on the extended mind thesis to suggest that mathematical symbols enable us to delegate some mathematical operations to the external environment. In this view, mathematical symbols are not only used to express mathematical concepts—they are constitutive of the mathematical concepts themselves. Mathematical symbols are epistemic actions, because they enable us to represent concepts that are literally unthinkable with our bare brains. Using case-studies from the history of mathematics and from educational psychology, we argue for an intimate relationship between mathematical symbols and mathematical cognition.

A mobile computed tomography system for on-site cultural heritage analysis

In consequence of the increasing request of on-site analysis the availability of portable systems for imaging paintings and other works of art has become really an issue for cultural heritage investigation. In many cases, authorities do not allow to transport paintings and works of art outside museums because of their value. We thus developed and used successfully a transportable X-ray Computed Tomography (CT) system that the operators can transport in a regular van and then mount inside museums or conservation centers. The system is composed of spare components that have to be properly mounted and carefully aligned in order to perform the radiographic or tomographic analysis. The basic elements are a 200 kV X-ray tube and a 12×12 cm2 flat-panel detector. With this system, it is possible to scan painting and works of art up to 1.5 × 1.5 m2 of size thanks to three mechanical translation axes. In the tomographic mode, a rotating platform provides high-resolution rotation of the object carrying up to 50 kg in weight. The operators control all the components of the system with a remote connection computer at a safe distance. In the present work, we report details about the development of this transportable X-ray CT system, we describe how it operates and the technical solutions we used and we show examples of application to real case studies with their specificity.
Aortic arch calcification is strongly associated with coronary artery calcification

Background: We aimed to investigate the association between aortic arch and coronary artery calcification (CAC). We postulated that low‐ and high‐risk CAC scores could be predicted with the evaluation of standard chest radiography for aortic arch calcification (AAC). Patients and methods: Consecutive patients who were referred for a multidetector computerized tomography (MDCT) examination were enrolled prospectively. All patients were scanned using a commercially available 64‐slice MDCT scanner for the evaluation of CAC score. A four‐point grading scale (0, 1, 2 and 3) was used to evaluate AAC on the standard posterior‐anterior chest radiography images. Results: The study group consisted of 248 patients. Median age of the study group was 52 (IQR: 10) years, and 165 (67 %) were male. AAC grades (r = 0.676, p &lt; 0.0001) and age (r = 0.518, p &lt; 0.0001) were significantly and positively correlated with CAC score. Presence of AAC was independently associated with the presence of CAC (OR: 11.20, 95 % CI 4.25 to 29.52). An AAC grade of ≥ 2 was the strongest independent predictor of a high‐risk CAC score (OR: 27.42, 95 % CI 6.09 to 123.52). Receiver operating characteristics curve analysis yielded a strong predictive ability of AAC grades for a CAC score of ≥ 100 (AUC = 0.892, P &lt; 0.0001), and ≥ 400 (AUC = 0.894, P &lt; 0.0001). Absence of AAC had a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 90 %, 84 % and 89 %, respectively, for a CAC score of &lt; 100. An AAC grade of ≥ 2 predicted a CAC score of ≥400 with a sensitivity, specificity and accuracy of 68 %, 98 % and 95 %, respectively. Conclusions: AAC is a strong and independent predictor of CAC. The discriminative performance of AAC is high in detecting patients with low‐ and high‐risk CAC scores.
RETRACTED: Limitations of osmotic gradient resource and hydraulic pressure on the efficiency of dual stage PRO process

Dual stage PRO process has been proposed for power generation from a salinity gradient across a semi-permeable membrane. Closed-loop and open-loop dual stage PRO system were evaluated using 2 M NaCl and Dead Sea as draw solutions whereas the feed solution was either fresh water or seawater. The impact of feed salinity gradient resource and feed pressure on the net power generation and water flux was evaluated. The results showed that power density in stage one reached a maximum amount atΔP = π/2 but the maximum net power generation occurred atΔP < π/2. This was mainly attributed to the variation of net driving pressure in stage one and two of the PRO process. The dual stage PRO process was found to perform better at high osmotic pressure gradient across the PRO membrane, for example when Dead Sea brine or highly concentrated NaCl is the draw solution. Total power generation in the dual stage PRO process is up to 40% higher than that in the conventional PRO process. This was achieved through harvesting the rest of energy remaining in the diluted draw solution. Therefore, dual stage PRO process has the potential of maximizing power generation from a salinity gradient resource.
STUDY OF SURFACE WATER QUALITY AND ITS TREATMENT USING BIO COAGULANTS

This study aims in understanding the physical, chemical and biological conditions of Kattigenahalli Lake. This Lake is situated in Kattigenahalli, Yelahanka. This is not being used by residents due to unknown reasons. This work aims in treating the lake water using organic purification which consists of three bio coagulants, which are Moringa oleifera, Tamarind seeds and activated charcoal using rice husk. These were used as locally available natural coagulants in this study to reduce turbidity and other parameters. Optimum dosage of Moringa oleifera seeds Powder, Tamarind seed powder and activated charcoal of rice husk was found to be 0.4g/l, 1g/l and 3.5 g/l respectively. The percentage reduction in turbidity after treating the lake water with Moringa Oleifera Seeds Powder, Tamarind Seeds Powder and Activated Charcoal from rice husk was found to be 24.07%, 65.82% and 78.14% respectively. Among the three Biocoagulants used, activated charcoal was found to be the best as it reduced 78.14% of turbidity of the lake water.
Language dynamics: a neurocognitive approach to incremental interpretation

Understanding spoken language involves a complex set of processes that transform the auditory input into a meaningful interpretation. Our percept is not of acoustic-phonetic detail but of the speaker’s intended meaning. This effortless transition occurs on millisecond timescales, with remarkable speed and accuracy, and without any awareness of the complex computations on which it depends. How is this achieved? What are the processes and representations that support the transition from sound to meaning, and what are the neurobiological systems in which they are instantiated? In this proposal, we combine advanced techniques from neuroimaging, multivariate statistics and computational linguistics to probe directly the dynamic patterns of neural activity, over bilateral fronto-temporal and parietal cortices, that are elicited by spoken words and sentences. Combined MEG + EEG imaging, linked to parallel fMRI studies, capture the real-time electrophysiological activity of the brain. Representational Similarity Analysis (RSA) and related multivariate techniques make it possible to probe the different types of neural computation that support these dynamic processes of incremental interpretation. Computational linguistic analyses of language corpora allow us to build quantifiable models of different dimensions of language interpretation – from phonetics and phonology to argument structure and anaphora - and to test for their presence, using RSA, as the utterance unfolds in real time. By this means we aim to determine directly the nature of the intermediate processes involved in the transition from early perceptual processing through different representational states to the development of a meaningful representation of an utterance, the dynamic spatio-temporal relationship between these processes, and their evolution over time.
Characterization of sorghum germplasm for various morphological and fodder yield parameters

This study was performed to evaluate and characterize 24 sorghum accessions for various morphological and fodder yield parameters. The germplasm displayed considerable variability for leaf color, midrib color, panicle shape, days to 50% flowering, leaf area, flag leaf area, plant height and green fodder yield, while differences of smaller magnitude were observed for number of leaves and tillers plant -1 . Genotype Fsd -sorghum was mature early with minimum days to maturity (63) while maximum plant height (232 cm) was observed for Acc.1692. Moreover, Acc.1827 exhibited maximum leaf area (447 cm 2 ) and the highest green fodder yield at 50% maturity (58 t ha -1 ) was recorded for Acc. 1763. The results of this study indicate that significant genetic diversity exists among the sorghum accessions. The genetic potential of Fsd-sorghum, accessions 1692, 1827 and 1763 can be exploited in future sorghum breeding programs. Further, these genotypes are recommended for commercial cultivation to meet the fodder needs of the country. Keywords: Fodder, Sorghum bicolor, accessions
Paving the way for self-sufficient regional energy supply based on sustainable energy concepts and 
renewable energy sources

The Kyoto protocol, the EU 20-20-20 strategy and several further commitments force the states of Central Europe to rationalize their energy consumption and reduce the fossil energy sources in their energy mix in favour of renewables. MANERGY assists the Central Europe area in achieving these goals by setting its general objective: supporting the responsible use of the environmental potentials of Central Europe by promoting sustainable approaches to environment friendly energy source management, including an increase in renewable energy use and significant reduction in energy consumption and CO2 emissions. As urban areas represent more than two thirds of the energy consumption of the EU, the role of local authorities in energy saving is significant. This tendency is fostered by the central governments in all countries, urging the public authorities to cut their expenses by rationalizing their overhead costs. MANERGY partners will aid local authorities to answer this challenge and pave the way for the self-sufficient regional energy supply.

Based on the similarities in the energy supply of the partners, transnational cooperation offers the opportunity for direct exchange on the needs and future aspirations related to these topics. In the Central Europe area currently there is no such official transnational level forum which would deal with these issues. The regions and local authorities are mostly the ones who implement the different approaches of energy use, on the other hand they in themselves separately are not strong stakeholders to have their voice heard in order to shape the system. By its transnational approach the project will transfer its results to other Central Europe cities and also support the forming EU’s energy policy. Besides, transnational cooperation will give that chance for local authorities - which would not have otherwise the possibility to access to a wide range of know-how - to improve their energy management by benefiting from best practices of other Central Europe countries.
SUN OIL APPLICATOR

Sunprotection applicator for applying sunprotection oil constituted by a small cloth saturated with sunprotection oil. The cloth is in its turn before the use enclosed in a disposable package. This is torn up and the cloth is used, whereafter package as well as cloth can be thrown away. In a common, several sunprotection applicators containing package several cloths with different sunprotection factors can be kept so that an adaption can be done to the needs. Since the sunprotection applicator i.e. the cloth and oil is contained hermetically and closed up to the use a particularily good hygiene is obtained and it is not necessary to add anti-oxidizing agents to the oil, which is the case with sun oils in bottles.

Polymeric membranes for artificial endosymbionts

Synthetic biology has constantly been expanding its reach, aiming to develop whole genetic circuits and metabolic pathways, which require laborious genetic engineering. Often, such pathways derive from other organisms and must be tweaked to fit the host’s molecular biology, adding to the complexity of the task. However, nature has already witnessed the integration of whole prokaryotic organisms into eukaryotic hosts, where they are integrated as endosymbionts creating new combinations that live with mutual benefit. In evolutionary history, this phenomenon was at the origin of organelles such as mitochondria and chloroplasts, which added their own metabolism to their hosts. To achieve a more generalized framework, where any prokaryote can enter endosymbiosis with any eukaryote, we need to induce the uptake and retention of the guest by the eukaryotic host. A way forward will be by masking the guests with biocompatible polymers, either pre-formed, or synthesized by the bacterium itself. The project proposed herein offers a novel technique for the the encapsulation of prokaryotes into biocompatible shells, creating a  new strategy for the straightforward  production of bio-orthogonal, artificial endosymbionts. After the formation of the polymer shell around bacteria, they will be endocytoted by eukaryotes, thus expanding the biochemical potentialities of cells, revolutionizing the possibilities of synthetic biology, acting as true artificial organelles. This breakthrough will allow the functional insertion whole genomes into the host cells and the combination of micro-organisms, which will have implications in medicinal, industrial and environmental biotechnology. It will lead to the creation of complex, semi-synthetic hybrid organisms able to perform a vast variety of non-natural biotransformations. In line with the 2020 Work Programme, it will open up several diverse possibilities that will benefit European and global industries.
