Improvements in or relating to vacuum impregnation apparatus, and methods of operating such apparatus

713,532. Vacuum impregnation. VOGT, A. April 11, 1951 [April 11, 1950], No. 8409/51. Class 140. In a method, of operating vacuum impregnation apparatus in which the impregnation medium is spread out on the outer surface of an impregna-. tion chamber in a layer thin compared with the width of the chamber, and is held. in this way in a reserve chamber, the medium, melted if necessary, is then brought into the chamber under the action of a vacuum produced therein and any excess medium unused in the impregnation is then conveyed back to the reserve chamber by a..vacuum applied thereto. As shown in Fig. 1, the apparatus comprises an impregnation tank 10 within an outer reservoir tank :11, the whole being closed in a vacuum-tight manner and each being connected to a vacuum pump 27 and each having a conduit (23; 20 respectively) leading from the bottom to valves 21, 24. Heating elements 14, 15.with heat insulator 16 between are provided, respectively . surrounding the inner tank 10 and near the partition wall 12 forming the inner limit of a reservoir chamber 13 bounded externally by the tank wall 11. On placing the inner tank 10 serving as impregnation chamber 10a under vacuum and unlocking valve 21 melted impregnation medium in the chamber 13 moves through conduit 20 and discharges into the impregnation chamber 10a, the valve 21 opening to permit such flow. If the valve 21 was unlocked and the chamber 13 was under vacuum, a flow of impregnation medium would not be permitted by valve 21 in the reverse direction since the higher pressure in chamber 10a would maintain the valve closed. If the reservoir chamber 13 is placed under vacuum and the valve 24 is unlocked, impregnating medium flows through the conduit 23 back again into the reserve chamber 13, the valve being such that it may only open when the pressure conditions are such as to move the medium back to the chamber 13. In a modification as shown in Fig. 3 the connecting conduit 30 is disposed at the bottom of the inner tank 10 so that it only has the form of a conduit leading from the chamber 13 to the chamber 10a.The valve plate 31 operates together with the upper end of the conduit 30 located in the tank 10 so that the conduit may be closed. A bolt 32 connected to the plate 31 is mounted for - longitudinal displacement in a bushing 33. located at the bottom of the outer tank 12 and is pivotally connected to a lever 34. A compression spring 35 holds the valve 31, 32 closed at all times unless the lever 34 is operated normally by depressing a foot pedal 36 on the lever 34. According to a modification (not shown) an additional chamber surrounds the reserve chamber (having if necessary heating means between them), and may contain purification devices, e.g. filters for the medium, wherein the movement of the latter through the purification chamber may take place according to changes of the medium in the impregnating chamber which preferably is connected by tubular conduits to the reserve chamber.
Dancing with giants: dynamics of dwarf satellite galaxies

Giant galaxies like our own are surrounded by a large number of dwarf galaxy satellites that perform a complex orbital dance. Theoretical models predict that this dance should be composed of randomly oriented elliptical orbits, but Milky Way (MW) observations reveal the opposite: most satellites orbit in the same plane and have orbits that are more circular than expected. This discrepancy is a major problem that lacks an answer. It could signal a fundamental breakdown of the current cosmological model or, alternatively, that the MW is very atypical, a 1 in 1000 system. Studies of satellite orbits cannot yet be carried out for other galaxies, so the only option is to examine the MW in more detail. My proposed research will deliver ground-breaking new insights into the anomalous dynamics of satellites, and, through this, uncover the formation history of our galaxy. First, I will investigate the phenomena that give rise to the atypical orbits of the MW satellites. Two key drivers are the accretion of satellites along cosmic web filaments and the geometry of the dark matter halo of the central galaxy. Secondly, using state-of-the-art galaxy formation models, I will perform detailed simulations to predict the distribution of faint satellites and the stellar halo of our galaxy. These contain vital clues to the root cause of the anomalous satellite orbits problem. I will compare the model predictions to MW observations to make an unprecedented test of the current cosmological paradigm. The same simulations are essential to understand how representative are the MW satellites and stellar halo, and thus the extent to which they can be used to test the nature of dark matter and galaxy formation models.

The proposed research combines my two areas of expertise, large scale structure and satellite galaxies, with the world-leading galaxy formation models and simulations of Prof. Schaye's group, and, together, they provide the ideal setting to make this project a major success.
Characterization of fusidic acid-resistant Staphylococcus aureus isolates in the community of Casablanca (Morocco)

Resistance to fusidic acid in Staphylococcus aureus is caused by mutation of the elongation factor G (EF-G) encoded by fusA or by expression of a protein, encoded by fusB or fusC, that protects the drug target. Other mechanisms involved in this resistance are mutations in the riboprotein L6 operon within rplF. The aim of this study was to determine the prevalence and mechanisms of resistance to fusidic acid in clinical isolates of S. aureus in Casablanca (Morocco) and to define the phenotypic and genotypic traits of these isolates and their clonal relationship. All fusidic acid-resistant S. aureus (FAR-SA) isolates were tested for fusB and fusC genes and were evaluated for the detection of mutations in fusA and fusE (rplF). fusB-positive strains were tested for a cadDX operon, encoding cadmium resistance. The agr group and the presence of toxin genes were monitored to characterize all FAR-SA isolates which were typed by pulsed-field gel electrophoresis (PFGE) and spa typing. Among 140 clinical S. aureus isolates collected in 2007 and 2008, 18 (∼13%) exhibited resistance to fusidic acid. The most common resistance determinant was fusC, found in 16 isolates. Molecular typing showed that 14 of them harboured an agr group III and belonged to the same clonal complex (CC) spa type 127 and identical clonotype (cluster labelled A). These isolates also possessed the staphylococcal enterotoxin H gene. The second resistance determinant was fusB found in two isolates. These two isolates lacked cadDX gene and were found to belong to two unrelated clusters and spa types. While no isolate carrying mutations in rplF was found, 15 expressed a silent mutation in fusA (nucleotide 342). Only acquired fusidic acid resistance genes (mainly fusC) were prevalent among FAR-SA isolates with almost all of the clinical specimens belonging to CC-spa type 127. This study provides valuable data on the prevalence of fusidic acid-resistant S. aureus with the associated molecular mechanisms of resistance and the genetic background of the strains in Casablanca.
Elaboration and characterization of porous granules based on waste glass

The evolutions of the world today and the population increase have resulted in pollution and human wastes, which contaminate the environment and adversely affect the human's quality of life. All forms of food and drink packages, made of paper, plastic foam, aluminum and glass, are designed for the consumers' convenience. After being used, these packages are discarded as garbage and have today become a social problem. It is in this context that our work for obtaining a building material (foam glass granules) that is much lighter is registered with the properties of heat insulation and acoustic improved based on cullet in order to recycle it and for improving the present laws about the waste products in closed circuit (finished products → waste products → finished products). Investigations have shown that grinding waste glass to particle size less than 0.1 mm and adding 1% of Ca CO 3 content provide the production of material with the following properties: particle density of 0.5 g/cm 3 , strength of 17.50 MPa and water adsorption of 95%, with the temperature for foaming ranges determined at 850 °C. The microstructures are homogenous, with pore sizes of up to 2 mm. The foam glass is counted among the new glass products meeting certain requirements on comfort, in particular in the building industry (thermal and acoustic insulation). The product obtained presents excellent thermal (λ = 0,031 W/m°C) and acoustic (R = 15 dB) properties. The objective of this research work was to investigate the production of granules of foam glass material from recycling glasses.

European marine biology resource centre preparatory phase 2

EMBRC is a distributed infrastructure of marine biology and ecology, encompassing aquaculture and biotechnology, exploiting the latest “omics”, analytical and imaging technologies, and providing on site and remote scientific and technical services to the scientific community of the public and private sector. EMBRC successfully completed a preparatory phase in early in 2014 with the production of a business plan and a memorandum of understanding (MoU) signed by 9 countries. A host for its headquarters has been chosen and and an ERIC application is in preparation. Since only institutions from 5 MoU signatory countries went through the preparatory phase, the present proposal has as objectives: 1) to harmonize the access mechanism to the operational EMBRC-ERIC across all the partners, putting all the practical tools in place, including host contracts and single point online access platform, to enable EMBRC-ERIC to commence its access program; 2) to put in place practical guidelines towards the full implementation of the new European and international legislation and commitments on access and fair benefit sharing of the use of marine biological resources, thus providing clarity to future users of EMBRC-ERIC about their legal rights over obtained biological resources, and positioning itself globally as a broker between users and the supplying countries ; 3) to focus the smart specialization of the regions onto the opportunities marine biological resources offer for blue-biotech development and innovation, thus demonstrating the member states that EMBRC is a tool towards economic development of their maritime regions, and enticing them to sign the EMBRC-ERIC, and prioritize its sustained support, particularly from regions which are now underrepresented in EMBRC (Black and Baltic Seas).  These activities will ensure that the beneficiary research communities can exploit the results obtained at EMBRC-ERIC facility from the start with the highest efficiency.
Impact on the chlorophyll concentration in the Bay of Bengal and Arabian Sea during Indian Ocean dipole mode

The chlorophyll Chl concentration in the seawater of the Bay of Bengal BoB and the Arabian Sea AS changes most during the Indian Ocean dipole IOD mode event. The empirical orthogonal function EOF of several oceanographic and atmospheric data was studied, using 9 years 1998–2006 of reanalysed satellite data. The variation of Chl during the period of September to November SON over the 9 years has been studied in this article. It has been found that significant enhancement of Chl in the BoB takes place during IOD years owing to the surface wind action, that is, wind-stress curl WC, which favours the upwelling process, whereas the AS shows a decline in concentration of Chl owing to a reduced open ocean upwelling process.

Design, Project Execution, and Commissioning of the 1.8 K Superfluid Helium Refrigeration System for SRF Cryomodule Testing

The Fermilab Cryomodule Test Facility (CMTF) provides a test bed to measure the performance of superconducting radiofrequency (SRF) cryomodules (CM). These SRF components form the basic building blocks of future high intensity accelerators such as the International Linear Collider (ILC) and a Muon Collider. Linde Kryotechnik AG and Linde Cryogenics have designed, constructed and commissioned the superfluid helium refrigerator needed to support SRF component testing at the CMTF Facility. The hybrid refrigerator is designed to operate in a variety of modes and under a wide range of boundary conditions down to 1.8 Kelvin set by CM design. Special features of the refrigerator include the use of warm and cold compression and high efficiency turbo expanders.This paper gives an overview on the wide range of the challenging cooling requirements, the design, fabrication and the commissioning of the installed cryogenic system.
Determinants of inward FDI in Ukraine: Does political stability matter?

Abstract The main goal of this article is to study the determinants of foreign direct investment (FDI) in Ukraine from 2013 to 2017 that includes the years of armed conflict. We adopt the Knowledge-Capital model as our analytical framework and extend it to include the effects that account for political stability and political regime. The research hypotheses obtained from this framework are verified using the Pseudo-Poisson Maximum Likelihood estimation technique and the bilateral panel data on direct investment stocks from 140 partner countries. Our empirical findings show that access to Ukraine's cheap labor force is the primary reason for inward FDI. Moreover, we find no direct relationship between the political events in Ukraine and the investment stock dynamics as the estimated parameters on the indices of democracy, autocracy, polity, and political stability show no statistical significance.
GRANULAR ELECTRICAL CONNECTIONS FOR IN SITU FORMATION HEATING

A method for heating a subsurface formation using electrical resistance heating is provided. In one aspect, the method includes creating a passage in the subsurface formation between a first wellbore located at least partially within the subsurface formation, and a second wellbore also located at least partially within the subsurface formation. An electrically conductive granular material is placed into the passage so as to provide electrical communication between the first wellbore and the second wellbore. Electrically conductive members are provided in the first wellbore and second wellbore so as to form an electrically conductive flow path comprised of the electrically conductive members, the granular material, and a power source. An electrical current is established through the electrically conductive flow path, thereby resistively heating at least a portion of the conductive members which in turn heats the subsurface formation.
Building bridges between consumers and producers by supporting short food supply chains through a systemic, holistic, multi-actor approach based toolbox

agroBRIDGES aims to build bridges between producers and consumers, rebalancing farmers market position by empowering them with knowledge about new business and marketing models. The proposal will mobilise local farmers through Short Food Supply Chains (SFSCs), focussing on decreasing intermediaries and their margin. Precisely, agroBRIDGES will follow a knowledge-based, holistic, systemic approach built on two pillars: (1) a multi-actor framework pursuing demand-driven innovation; (2) a combination of communication materials, training programs, events organisation and IT tools gathered in the agroBRIDGES Toolbox as the ultimate instrument that will provide practical support to producers, consumers, contracting authorities, distributors, academia, etc, improving farmers position in the value chain. Both regional and pan-European approaches will be considered along with the project, where 12 Beacon regions will be involved in the creation of this multi-actor framework, directly involving ca. 400 people in information collection, knowledge exchange, co-creation, co-development and validation of project outputs. Full EU roll-out, replication and training will be conducted, supported by a strong dissemination campaign and coordination with other EU projects and initiatives as SCAR-AKIS and EIP AGRI through a clustering plan. Main impact in the short term will be ca. 150 persons trained on topics related to food procurement and how to mobilise innovative agri-food supply chains and support local producers, while in the medium-, long-term it is expected a 5-8% increase of farms totally or partially involved in direct sales to consumers and an increase in farmers income for the value of the output ca. 35% average thanks the developed new SFSCs models. This way, agroBRIDGES will make an ambitious contribution to the Common Agricultural Policy unlocking the full potential of Europe’s inner wealth by placing producers as a cornerstone for boosting European agri-food sector.
Eugenics: Past, Present, and Future

Understanding the human – a form of moral and religious introspection and historical responsibility and a quest for
scientific knowledge and adaptability to technological progress ‘Crafting humans’ – and its corollary human enhancement – is a contested topic, both in medical sciences and the humanities. With continuing advances
in science and technology, scientists and the general public alike are aware that the basic foundations of the
human condition are now at stake. This volume contributes to this growing body of work. It offers insights into some of the reflections and imaginaries that have inspired and legitimated both theoretical and practical programmes
for ‘crafting’ humans, ranging from the religious/spiritualist and the philosophical/cultural to the secular and the scientific/scientistic; from the
religious and mystical quest for human perfection to the biopolitical eugenic state of the twentieth century, and
current theories of human enhancement. This volume discusses
these topics in a synchronized way, as interrelated variants of the most central story in history, that of human
perfectibility
Insights into cloudy exoplanet atmospheres

Exoplanet science is a young and rapidly growing field of Astrophysics. One element crucial to advancing progress in the field is the analysis of exoplanet atmospheres, which carry unique information about the composition, birth and evolution of the planets. Exoplanets host clouds and haze that can mask the information imprinted in the planets’ atmospheres. Just as on Solar System planets, therefore, in order to successfully characterize exoplanets, understanding how clouds and haze form and their impact on atmospheric observables is essential. Motivated by these ideas, Exo-C will break new ground on three related aspects, namely: [1] the formation of upper-atmospheric haze through both neutral but also ion photochemistry; [2] the dispersion of haze through the atmosphere as transported by planet-wise winds; [3] the impact of cloud patterns on the net brightness of exoplanets. The Host Group is currently leading international efforts in exoplanet General Circulation Models (GCMs), as well as in atmospheric characterization; both aspects are key to the project and represent new expertise that will be gained by the Experienced Researcher (ER). The ER himself is well trained in the photochemical and radiative transport modelling of exo- and Solar System planet atmospheres, traits that complement those already existing in the Host Group. The multi-faceted expertise from the involved participants will provide the ideal framework to explore both the inter-disciplinary ideas set out above as well as new ones leading to long-lasting collaborations. The project is particularly timely because GCMs are becoming mature enough to enable comparison between model outputs and measurements in a way that will provide fundamental knowledge about exoplanet atmospheres and modelling capacities. Additionally, clouds and haze provide a critical yet currently missing link between GCMs and observations that the current project will help establish.
Optimization and Verification of the TR-MAC Protocol for Wireless Sensor Networks

Energy-efficiency is an important requirement in the design of communication protocols for wireless sensor networks (WSN). TR-MAC is an energy-efficient medium access control (MAC) layer protocol for low power WSN that exploits transmitted-reference (TR) modulation in the physical layer. The underlying TR modulation in TR-MAC provides faster synchronization and signal acquisition without requiring channel estimation and complex rake receiver in the receiver side. TR modulation also enables multiple access for a pair of nodes using different frequency offsets. This paper introduces an explicit expression that allows the TR-MAC protocol to minimize its energy consumption, depending on the experienced traffic load. Furthermore, an implementation of the protocol in the OMNeT++ simulator with MiXiM simulation framework is introduced, and analytical results introduced in [13] are verified by simulation results obtained using the simulator.
