Lake Maggiore, the Ticino River and the protected natural areas. Verification and testing of sustainable and shared management scenarios.

Lake Maggiore and the Ticino River are bodies of water shared between Italy and Switzerland, of significant environmental interest, with the presence of numerous protected areas; they also constitute an important water resource for drinking water, irrigation and hydroelectric energy production, as well as exercising a strong tourist attraction. The cross-border nature and often conflicting needs of different users make the shared management of this resource very complex, but of considerable importance. This project wants to make a concrete contribution to the definition of achievable, sustainable, shared and exportable environmental management strategies in similar contexts of the EUSALP area. The object of the project will therefore be the management of the lake levels and the quality of the surrounding environment, with particular reference to the protected natural areas, even on the Ticino river downstream of the lake. The project will bring, as the main change, the definition of shared tools for a sustainable management that reduces conflicts of use, with a concrete positive effect on users, on biodiversity and the health of the ecosystems involved.
Love across the divide in northern irish literature and culture: 1968 - present

LOVE will enable the experienced researcher, Dr. Alison Garden (AG) to undertake a 24-month fellowship at Queen’s University Belfast QUB) to deliver a project on ‘Love across the Divide’ in Northern Irish literary and cultural texts from 1968 onwards, under the supervision of Professor Fran Brearton (FB). This period of mobility will see AG learn new research-specific skills through working closely with academic experts at QUB; continue her professional development by attending courses offered by the QUB ‘Staff Training and Development Unit’ (STDU); conduct outreach activities with local schools through a partnership with international storytelling organisation, Narrative4 (N4); and gain research-relevant inter-sectoral experience through prestigious secondments at the Seamus Heaney HomePlace (SHH; (from months [M]7-9) and the British Broadcasting Corporation Northern Ireland (BBC NI; M13-16). Combining critical and practice-based methods will generate pioneering research, which will be innovatively disseminated for diverse audiences within and beyond the academy. LOVE will augment and advance AG’s international reputation as a leading scholar of interdisciplinary literary research.
Nerve Injury-Induced c-Jun Activation in Schwann Cells Is JNK Independent

We investigated (a) if activation of the mitogen activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathway was linked to the stress activated protein kinase (SAPK) pathway and (b) if JNK was required for activation of c-Jun in Schwann cells of rat sciatic nerve following injury. To this aim, ERK1/2 and the transcription factors c-Jun and ATF-3 were studied by immunohistochemistry in segments of transected nerves. We utilized pharmacological inhibitors of both signal transduction pathways in vitro to determine the effects on downstream signalling events, such as c-Jun activation, and on Schwann cell survival and proliferation. A transection induces c-Jun and ATF-3 transcription in Schwann cells. These events are followed by Schwann cell activation of c-Jun in the injured nerve. The MAPK inhibitor U0126 blocked ERK1/2 activation and reduced Schwann cell proliferation as well as induction of c-Jun transcription. The JNK inhibitor SP600125 reduced Schwann cell proliferation, but did not affect the expression of ERK1/2 or injury-induced increases in c-Jun or ATF-3 levels. Importantly, nerve injury induces Schwann cell activation of c-Jun by phosphorylation, which, in contrast to in sensory neurons, is JNK independent. MAP kinases, other than JNK, can potentially activate c-Jun in Schwann cells following injury; information that is crucial to create new nerve reconstruction strategies.
From liouville to kolmogorov: 2d quantum gravity, noise sensitivity and turbulent flows

This research project is organized along three seemingly unrelated directions:

(1) Mathematical Liouville gravity deals with the geometry of large random planar maps. Historically, conformal invariance was a key ingredient in the construction of Liouville gravity in the physics literature. Conformal invariance has been restored recently with an attempt of understanding large random combinatorial planar maps once conformally embedded in the plane. The geometry induced by these embeddings is conjecturally described by the exponential of a highly oscillating distribution, the Gaussian Free Field. This conjecture is part of a broader program aimed at rigorously understanding the celebrated KPZ relation. The first major goal of my project is to make significant progress towards the completion of this program. I will combine for this several tools such as Liouville Brownian motion, circle packings, QLE processes and Bouchaud trap models.

(2) Euclidean statistical physics is closely related to area (1) through the above KPZ relation. I plan to push further the analysis of critical statistical physics models successfully initiated by the works of Schramm and Smirnov. I will focus in particular on dynamics at and near critical points with a special emphasis on the so-called noise sensitivity of these systems.

(3) 3d turbulence. A more tractable ambition than solving Navier-Stokes equation is to construct explicit stochastic vector fields which combine key features of experimentally observed velocity fields. I will make the mathematical framework precise by identifying four axioms that need to be satisfied. It has been observed recently that the exponential of a certain log-correlated field, as in (1), could be used to create such a realistic velocity field. I plan to construct and analyse this challenging object by relying on techniques from (1) and (2). This would be the first genuine stochastic model of turbulent flow in the spirit of what Kolmogorov was aiming at.
A.Dditive ma.nufacturing for t.iltrotor ho.using

AMATHO (A.dditive MA.nufacturing T.iltrotor HO.using) is aimed to design, assess and manufacture a novel tiltrotor drive system housing exploiting the features of additive manufacturing techniques. Preliminarily, functional, structural and technological peculiarities of rotorcraft main gearbox housings are analysed and relevant requirements are issued. In the meantime, viable AM processes are reviewed, on the basis of specific suitability, technological potential and degree of maturity. In particular, powder feed direct energy deposition techniques (Direct Laser Deposition - DLD) and powder bed fusion techniques (Selective Laser Melting - SLM and Electron Beam Meelting - EBM) are considered. The powder precursors are investigated as well, in terms of chemical nature (magnesium, aluminium, titanium alloy, stainless steel), particles granulometry and morphology. Static, fatigue, fracture mechanics, damage tolerance, corrosion endurance, chemical compatibility, machinability, weldability and heat-treatability testing are worked out and final trade-off process accomplished for choosing optimal materials and processes. Characterisation methodologies and NDI techniques are assessed as well. In addition to test activity on dedicated specimens, smaller, but fully representative, full-scale gearbox housing components (to be considered as proof of concept) are manufactured through the traded-off technologies and tested to check the compliance with general functional aspects of r/c drive system housing. In parallel, design rules and methodologies for detail design, optimisation and structural substantiation of AM components are defined and supporting numerical tools are set-up. Full-scale housing is manufactured and structural and functional tests are performed to support flight clearance on the NextGenCTR Demonstrator and procedures (engineering cost and industrial capability assessment) for the start-up of high-volume production are defined

On the Observability of Smart Grids and Related Optimization Methods

Management of energy systems is one of the biggest challenges of our time. The daily demand for energy increases constantly for many reasons. Moreover, the wide use of renewable energies, aimed at limiting polluting emissions, can create instability in the networks and uncertainty in energy production. In this context, Operational Research is a crucial tool that allows optimizing strategic, tactical, and operational decisions to be taken. We focus on a strategic problem in smart grids, the phasor measurement units placement. The aim is to make the grid observable, i.e., to install devices that can communicate the status of the grid. Being able to observe it allows the grid manager to improve efficiency. We introduce and compare several mathematical optimization formulations proposed in the literature.
Time-scale and mechanism of subsidence at Lassen Volcanic Center, CA, from InSAR

Abstract Observations of volcanic subsidence have contributed to our understanding of the eruption cycle, hydrothermal systems and the formation of continental crust. Lassen Volcanic Center is one of two volcanoes in the southern Cascades known to have subsided in recent decades, but the onset, temporal evolution, and cause of subsidence remain unconstrained. Here we use multiple sets of InSAR data, each corrected using the North American Regional Reanalysis atmospheric model, to determine the temporal and spatial characteristics of deformation between 1992 and 2010. Throughout this period all datasets reveal subsidence of a broad, 30–40 km wide region at rates of ~ 10 mm/yr. Evaluating past geodetic studies we suggest that subsidence may have been ongoing since the 1980s, before which it is unlikely that significant ground deformation occurred. By combining multiple tracks of InSAR data we find that the ratio of horizontal to vertical displacements is high (up to 3:1), and source inversions favour a point source located at ~ 8 km depth. Time-series analysis suggests that the rate of volume change of this source may have varied over time. The source geometry and the temporal evolution of deformation contrasts to subsidence observed at nearby Medicine Lake Volcano since the 1950s. We evaluate possible causes of subsidence at Lassen Volcanic Center in light of tectonic setting and hydrothermal activity, and suggest that regional GPS measurements will be key to understanding the role of crustal extension plus other hydrothermal/magmatic processes in deformation during recent decades.

Micro-Scale optofludics control based on thermoplasmonic effect of nanoparticle arrays

Optofluidic control is emerging as a promising tool in wide applications like pharmaceutics, chemistry, energy, and biology, due to the development of micro-fluidic chip. The control unit usually requires complex optical set-ups or special materials for working fluid or micro-channel. The aim of the present project is to develop a light controlled microvalve technique that can be utilized to manipulate fluid flow in micro-channels and potentially promote the development of new generation of light driven micropump or micromotor.  Numerical model and experimental setup will be established to investigate nanoscale photothermal conversion and temperature manipulation involved in the plasmon-assisted optofluidics. Duo to wide applications of microfluidic devices, this unique project will not only be helpful for European biomedicine industry, including R&D of new drugs, but will also promote fundamental research level in related areas, such as microfluidic control and thermoplasmonics.

The project is carefully designed to match the fellow's expertise in thermoplasmonics and the expertise of the host institute in micro-flow and heat & mass transfer. The overall aim of the project is to develop a light controlled microvalve technique that can be utilized to manipulate fluid flow in micro-channels. Meanwhile, the research fellow will contribute his expertise on thermoplasmonics and photothermal conversion, and will provide important training to EU researchers, industrial contacts and undergraduates by: hosting a series of seminars, giving a special lecture on thermoplasmonics for undergraduate students, and participating in outreach activities of the university. The researcher has 5 years’ experience on experimental and numerical studies for nanoscale thermoplasmonics. Combining the host’s supervision on micro-flow and heat and mass transfer, the fellowship will provide him with perfect opportunity to develop the proposed project on optofluidic control.
Modelling of oxide interfacial reconstruction

One of the most challenging problems in material science is establishing a relation between material’s properties and interfacial structure. The presence of interfaces may strongly affect the properties of most polycrystalline materials. Interfaces play a determining role in properties of functional oxide heterostructures – artificial materials that attracted an increased attention over the past decade due to the wide range of properties they exhibit. The ability to predict equilibrium atomistic structure of interfaces in multicomponent systems using theoretical methods would provide a better understanding of the relation of interfaces to the physical properties of materials.
The OXIREC project aims to develop a robust and efficient methodology for theoretical prediction of structural reconstruction at complex oxide interfaces. The project addresses an insight into the principles of interfacial reconstruction in several technologically important heterostructures.
The outcome of the project will provide a great fundamental impact opening pathways for prediction various systems with desired properties, as well as a practical impact for oxide industry and manufacturing technologies.
Status quo of beekeeping in dryland area of Mwanga district as an entry point towards improved beekeeping intervention

Beekeeping is among the economic activities with potential to enhance incomes of smallholder households in the light of climate change through diversification with other activities. Smallholder farmers in the dryland areas of Mwanga district have been affected by climate change. The area has great potential for beekeeping based on the the fact that it has abundant availability of bee forage plants such as Acacia and other trees species and herb vegetation types. Beekeeping, thus, is one of the sectors on which efforts towards improving life standards of people can put emphasis on. However, before interventions for improved beekeeping can be implemented, understanding of the field realities on beekeeping is imperative. Such knowledge may include issues related to local household beekeeping strategies, challenges facing the sector, and mechanisms for addressing those challenges. In Mwanga district, the practice of beekeeping entailed the use of log-hives and traditional ways of beekeeping such as the use of fire in harvesting honey which can result into forest fires; beekeepers encoutered the challenges of theft of honey, lack of appropriate facilities and working gears, and low knowledge on honey production. Also, beekeepers were not organized to delibarate on their interests, instead they operated independent of one another. It was recommended that training should be provided and incentives created so as to promote beekeeping profitably and eco-friendly, and further research is recommended on the market aspects of beekeeping.
The diverging volcanic rift system

Abstract Eruptions and volcano internal growth are mostly fed by dykes. The comprehension of the control factors on dyke paths is fundamental for the assessment of areas prone to vent formation and to the general understanding of how volcanoes work. We analyse an understudied magma path system; field data of nine volcanoes show they have a rectilinear rift zone in the central part passing into fan-arranged dykes at the two opposite volcano flanks. The geological, geomorphological and structural characteristics of these volcanoes and their substrate suggest that the formation of these “diverging rifts” is not specifically linked to substrate lithology and mechanical behaviour. The studied volcanoes have elongation V  > 10 km 3 (mostly > 300 km 3 ). Eight volcanoes have the central rift that is normal to the regional tectonic least principal stress (σ 3reg ) and in one case it is sub-perpendicular. Field data have been combined with scaled analogue modelling, suggesting that if the σ 3reg is oblique to the volcano elongation axis, dyke geometry in the edifice axial zone is controlled by elongation and thus by local gravity σ 3 , but dyke strike becomes perpendicular to σ 3reg when dykes intrude the more external areas of the volcano. If a dyke is injected under the volcano flanks with slope inclination > 50°, it attains a geometry parallel to the slope. At lower slope inclinations at the edifice terminations, magma paths diverge outwards and crosscut slopes at high angle. Our data are in agreement with the assumption that regional tectonic stresses can affect large volcanoes up to the summit area guiding the development of a rectilinear thoroughgoing rift, both in extensional and transtensional regimes. The diverging pattern takes place due to reorientation of the local stress field guided by topography only when dyke inception localizes laterally respect to the edifice axis.
SchizConnect: Mediating neuroimaging databases on schizophrenia and related disorders for large-scale integration

SchizConnect (www.schizconnect.org) is built to address the issues of multiple data repositories in schizophrenia neuroimaging studies. It includes a level of mediation--translating across data sources--so that the user can place one query, e.g. for diffusion images from male individuals with schizophrenia, and find out from across participating data sources how many datasets there are, as well as downloading the imaging and related data. The current version handles the Data Usage Agreements across different studies, as well as interpreting database-specific terminologies into a common framework. New data repositories can also be mediated to bring immediate access to existing datasets. Compared with centralized, upload data sharing models, SchizConnect is a unique, virtual database with a focus on schizophrenia and related disorders that can mediate live data as information is being updated at each data source. It is our hope that SchizConnect can facilitate testing new hypotheses through aggregated datasets, promoting discovery related to the mechanisms underlying schizophrenic dysfunction.
Temperature dependence of nitrous oxide production of a luvisolic soil in batch experiments

Abstract This study aims to determine the effect of temperature on N2O produced from a surface soil both in nitrification and denitrification experimental conditions. In a context of changes of both temperature and rainfall, formalizing temperature relationships of N2O production is useful for model parameterization of process-based modeling approaches. Samples of luvisolic soils were incubated in destructive slurry batches in controlled specific conditions designed to promote nitrification and denitrification. The experiments were run at seven temperatures, from 5 to 45 °C. When fitted with a sigmoid function overall potential activities show that the potential production rate of nitrate (NO3−nit) is optimal at a temperature of 32.5 °C and the potential reduction rate of nitrate (NO3−denit) being optimal at around 45 °C. Regarding the production rate of N2O, optimal values occur at a temperature about 10 °C higher than the optimum temperature for the respective processes, namely 42 °C for nitrification and 54.5 °C for denitrification. N2O emissions and nitrite production due to denitrification are around 10 times higher than nitrification. These findings show that a sigmoid function of N2O emissions from both denitrification and nitrification is more relevant than an exponential one.

Concept,approach and empirical analysis of multidimensional poverty measurement——A household analysis among 9 villages

The concept of poverty experienced the extension from unidimension to multidimension.The limitations of traditional unidimensional approach made it unable to understand the phenomenon of poverty,and multidimensional approach helped us to understand the essential characteristics of the poor,including the complexity,ambiguity and permeability.In this paper,taking the perspective of multidimensional,we briefly reviewed the concept and approach of multidimensional poverty measurement,and measured the household poverty of 9 villages in the dimension of income,education,health and social relations by the Alkire-Foster dual cut-off approach.The results showed that 3.3% of 9 village households were of poverty at least four dimensions,higher than China's national poverty rate of 2.8% in 2010,and the average poverty rate of farmers in the education,health,housing dimensions was higher,the multidimensional poverty of different villages was heterogeneous,Yunti village in Sichuan and Nanmei village in Yunnan had a higher incidence of multidimensional poverty,the average incidence of multidimensional poverty were more than 20%.Rural poverty reduction policies need to take into account education,health and housing,and make the development more inclusive.
