CFD analyses in tight-lattice subchannels and seven-rod bundle geometries of a Super Fast Reactor

Abstract This paper presents CFD analyses in heat unsymmetric subchannels and heat symmetric seven-rod bundle geometries of a Super Fast Reactor (Super FR) fuel assembly using STAR-CD. The purpose of CFD analyses in heat unsymmetric subchannels is to evaluate the effect of the power differences on the heat transfer in subchannels of the Super Fast Reactor. For heat symmetric seven-rod bundles, the effects of the gap clearance between the fuel rod and the assembly wall and the displacement of the fuel rod on the circumferential temperature distributions and Maximum Cladding Surface Temperature (MCST) are analyzed. The results show that larger power difference between fuel rods gives larger circumferential temperature difference of the hottest fuel rods. Considering cross flow between edge and ordinary subchannels, 1 mm gap between the fuel rod and the assembly wall is better for small MCST although the circumferential temperature difference in edge subchannel is large. MCST increases exponentially with the displacement. The relative error of displacement should be less than 1% if the allowable increment of MCST due to displacement is less than 6 °C.
Changes in melatonin synthesis parameters after carbon monoxide concentration increase in the cavernous sinus.

Previous studies indicate that the gaseous messenger carbon monoxide (CO) is released from the eye into the ophthalmic venous blood depending on the intensity of sunlight. This study was designed to determine whether the increased concentration of CO in ophthalmic venous blood affects the synthesis of melatonin and therefore, whether CO released from the eye under normal lighting conditions can be a carrier of light intensity information. Thirty six mature male wild boar and pig crossbreeds (n = 36) were studied. We measured the difference in the scotophase melatonin pathway response in terms of mean concentration of increased melatonin levels after 48 hours infusion of autologous blood plasma with an experimentally induced approximately 3-fold increase in the concentration of CO into the ophthalmic venous sinus. We demonstrated in this crossbreed a marked variation in the duration and amplitude of nocturnal melatonin peak in response to increased concentration of CO in ophthalmic venous blood. During the winter this treatment limited the nocturnal melatonin rise. During the summer this same experimental treatment enhanced the nocturnal melatonin rise. Changes in melatonin levels were always associated with parallel changes in AANAT protein levels. This work demonstrates that non-physiological changes in CO concentration in ophthalmic venous blood can have an acute impact on the systemic melatonin level. These results support humoral phototransduction as a mechanism for some of bright light's effects in animal chronobiology and treatment of winter seasonal affective disorder.
Multifractal analysis of the interstellar medium: first application to Hi-GAL observations

The multifractal geometry remains an under-exploited approach to describe and quantify the large-scale structure of interstellar clouds. In this paper, the typical tools of multifractal analysis are applied to Herschel far-infrared (70-500 $\mu$m) dust continuum maps, which represent an ideal case of study. This dust component is a relatively optically thin tracer at these wavelengths and the size in pixel of the maps is well suitable for this statistical analysis. We investigate the so-called multifractal spectrum and generalised fractal dimension of six Hi-GAL regions in the third Galactic quadrant. We measure systematic variations of the spectrum at increasing wavelength, which generally correspond to an increasing complexity of the image, and we observe peculiar behaviours of the investigated fields, strictly related to the presence of high-emission regions, which in turn are connected to star formation activity. The same analysis is applied to synthetic column density maps, generated from numerical turbulent molecular cloud models and from fractal Brownian motion (fBm), allowing for the confrontation of the observations with models with well controlled physical parameters. This comparison shows that, in terms of multifractal descriptors of the structure, fBm images exhibit a very different, quite unrealistic behaviour when compared with Hi-GAL observations, whereas the numerical simulations appear in some cases (depending on the specific model) more similar to the observations. Finally, the link between mono-fractal parameters (commonly found in the literature) and multifractal indicators is investigated: the former appear to be only partially connected with the latter, with the multifractal analysis offering a more extended and complete characterization of the cloud structure.
Characterization of Potent Aroma Compounds of Cape Gooseberry (Physalis PeruvianaL.) Fruits Grown in Antalya Through the Determination of Odor Activity Values

This article presents the investigation of the aroma profile of cape gooseberry (Physalis peruviana L.) grown in Antalya, Turkey. The analyses were carried out by means of liquid-liquid extraction followed by gas chromatography-flame ionization detection and gas chromatography-mass spectrometry for quantification and identification, respectively. Sensory analysis confirmed that the organic extract obtained by liquid–liquid extraction was representative of cape gooseberry odor. A total of 83 volatile compounds were identified and quantified in fruit pulp, including 23 esters, 21 alcohols, 11 terpenes, 8 ketones, 8 acids, 6 lactones, 4 aldehydes, and 2 miscellaneous. The main aroma components of the cape gooseberry (concentration >3%) were γ-hexalactone (17.66%), benzyl alcohol (17.22%), dimethylvinylcarbinol (6.54%), 1-butanol (5.71%), 2-methyl-1-butanol (5.22%), cuminol (3.98%), γ-octalactone (3.64%), and 1-hexanol (3.25%). The calculated odor activity values suggest that γ-octalactone, γ-hexalactone, eth...

Excitonic spectra and band structure of CdGa2Se4 birefractive crystals

We report on the intersection of spectral dependences of refractive indices n o and n e at the wavelengths 546 nm ( λ 0 ) and 450 nm ( λ 01 ) in CdGa 2 Se 4 single crystals. The value of difference Δ n = n e −n o is equal to zero at the wavelengths involved. When placed between two crossed polarizers, the crystals of CdGa 2 Se 4 exhibit a transmission band at the wavelength of λ 0 =546 nm (300 K). The ground and excited states of three excitonic series (A, B and C) were found out at 13 K in CdGa 2 Se 4 crystals, and other parameters of excitons and bands were determined. In the Г point of Brillouin zone the effective mass of electrons m c is equal to 0.14 m 0 , and the effective masses of holes m v 2 and m v 3 are equal to 0.76 m 0 and 0.94 m 0 , respectively. The hole mass m v 1 depends upon the direction of wave vector k : at polarization E ∥ c , k ∥ a the mass m v 1 =1.15 m 0 , and at polarization E ∥ c , k ∥ b m v 1 =0.84 m 0 . The values of valence bands splitting in the center of Brillouin zone by the crystal field ( Δ cf =49 meV) and spin–orbital interaction ( Δ so =351 meV) were determined. The optical functions n , k , ε 1 and ε 2 in polarizations E ⊥ c and E ∥ c for the energy diapason from 3 to 6 eV were calculated from the reflectivity spectra by Kramers–Kronig analysis. The evidenced features are discussed on the basis of recent theoretical calculations of the band structure of CdGa 2 Se 4 crystals.

The project idea is to create operational tools to support local administrators and operators of maritime traffic, useful to limit the harmful effects of operating pollution generated by shipping industrial, commercial, recreational fishing and the Strait of Sicily. These instruments, including a system for measuring biophysical risk of loss of biodiversity of the Strait of Sicily and economic evaluation of the consequences caused to coastal communities, can better support the port authorities and other competent bodies, in a more balanced and aware of pollution from shipping, in accordance with the provisions of international conventions, the EU directives and their national legislation by the Italian and Maltese and to reconcile the interests of the smooth operation of maritime transport with the protection of the environment.
Coordination and support action for mobility in europe: research and assessment

CAMERA (Coordination and support Action for Mobility in Europe: Research and Assessment) is the H2020-MG1.5 Mobility CSA. CAMERA objective is to assess and report on the status of air transport mobility research and innovation in Europe and its capabilities to accomplish the long term mobility goals. CAMERA will quantitatively and qualitatively: evaluate the executed research activities from the last decade on air mobility, identify the current and future gaps and innovation bottlenecks in the context of the mobility goals, and formulate appropriate recommendations. 

The performance framework and the innovative methodology comprises contextualising each project/initiative in terms of a multilayer, multifactor approach while using state-of-the-art tools in data management, text data mining and modelling. This integrated micro plus macro assessment approach have a heavy quantitative yet qualitative focus, which will allow us to appropriately track the progress of current EU research towards long term goals, such as the FlightPath2050 and the ACARE SRIA.

The consortium is composed by Innaxis, University of Westminster, EUROCONTROL, Bauhaus Luftfahrt and DeepBlue, active members in ACARE groups (WG1, IRG and other WGs too). CAMERA partners are also involved- either coordinating or as full partners- in the recent mobility H2020 transport CSAs and mobility-related projects such as DATASET2020 and Mobility4EU, and in other successful ACARE CSAs: OPTICS and COREjetfuel.

CAMERA will be supported by an ample Advisory board covering virtually all mobility subdomains, means of transport and stakeholders: manufacturers, operators, airports, ANSPs, industry, passengers, authorities, academia, rail transport, research, maintenance, urban transport. Three additional advisory board seats are pre-booked to interested ACARE WG1 members: one to its representative, and two ones to active WG1 members not yet part of consortium/advisory board

Silver Wellbeing project aims to create and promote a touristic offer mainly addressed to “silver” public (over 65), that brings together territorial valorization and promotion with the Mediterranean diet and a correct and healthy lifestyle.

By adopting the Mediterranean diet and lifestyle (an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity as recognized by UNESCO), the Silver Wellbeing project will exploit the silver tourism as an asset of growth for the cross-border region, and will promote the benefits of healthy and sustainable life to silver tourists. The latter will have the opportunity to experience unique moments of vacations, combining cultural and artistic interests with those of their wellbeing.

Polyclinic of Bari is the lead beneficiary of this project in cooperation with the University of Bari Aldo Moro, University of Ioannina, IMBBR-BR  Foundation for Research and Technology and Innopolis Centre for innovation and culture. Partners will be supported by two associated partners, Puglia Region, Economical Department of Culture, Tourism and Territory, and the General Hospital of Filiates.
Patient and clinical characteristics that heighten risk for heart failure readmission

Within 30 days of hospital discharge, heart failure (HF) readmission rates nationally accumulate to more than 20%. Due to this high rate of unplanned re-hospitalization, predictive models are needed to identify patients who pose the highest readmission risk.To evaluate the diagnosis and timing and to identify patient and clinical characteristics associated with 30 day readmissions among HF patients.A retrospective analysis of electronic health records was conducted to study HF admissions during the period October 2008 to November 2014. Patients with a primary discharge diagnosis consistent with HF were included. Descriptive statistics were used to compare the readmitted and non-readmitted cohorts. Logistic regression was used to develop a predictive model to determine patient and clinical variables associated with 30 day readmission.Characteristics of the study cohort (n = 2420) are: a mean age of 72, predominantly male (55%), white (55%), currently not employed (91%), and utilizing Medicare as a payer (68%). Overall, 42% were married. Over the study time period there were 394 (16.3%) 30 day readmissions after 2420 hospitalizations. The 3 most common reasons for readmission were HF (36.0%), renal disorders (8.4%), and other cardiac diseases (6.9%). Analysis showed that 11.9% of patients readmitted during days 0-3, 15.2% during days 4-7, 31.5% during days 8-15, and 41.4% during days 16-30. The final multivariate predictive model included 5 variables that were associated with an increased risk for 30-day readmission: employment status as retired or disabled, > 1 emergency department visit in the past 90 days, length of stay >5 days during index visit, and a BUN value > 45 mg/dL.This study provides a deeper understanding of patient and clinical characteristics that are associated with readmission in HF. Evaluation of these characteristics will provide additional information to guide strategies meant to reduce HF readmission rates.
Chemical Analysis of the Superatom Model for Sulfur-Stabilized Gold Nanoparticles

The superatom model for nanoparticle structure is shown to be inadequate for the prediction of the thermodynamic stability of gold nanoparticles. The observed large HOMO-LUMO gaps for stable nanoparticles predicted by this model are, for sulfur-stabilized gold nanoparticles, attributed to covalent interactions of the metal with thiyl adsorbate radicals rather than ionic interactions with thiolate adsorbate ions, as is commonly presumed. In particular, gold adatoms in the stabilizing layer are shown to be of Au(0) nature, subtle but significantly different from the atoms of the gold core owing to the variations in the proportion of gold-gold and gold-sulfur links that form. These interactions explain the success of the superatom model in describing the electronic structure of both known and informatory nanoparticle compositions. Nanoparticle reaction energies are, however, found not to correlate with the completion of superatom shells. Instead, local structural effects are found to dominate the chemistry and in particular the significantly different chemical properties of gold nanoparticle and bulk surfaces. These conclusions are drawn from density-functional-theory calculations for the Au(102)(p-mercaptobenzoic acid)(44) nanoparticle based on the X-ray structure (Jadzinsky, P. D.; et al. Science 2007, 318, 430), as well calculations for the related Au(102)(S(*)-CH(3))(44) nanoparticle, for the inner gold-cluster cores, for partially and overly reacted cores, and for Au(111) surface adsorbates.

Does it promote economy and well-being? the impact of teleworking on environment and labour market outcomes

This project examines the telework effects on environment and labour market outcomes. More specifically, the first aim of the project is to analyse the link between job satisfaction, labour productivity and firm performance. The second aim is to examine the effects of teleworking on labour productivity/job satisfaction and environment (e.g. traffic, air pollution).  The final aim of this study is to examine how teleworking affects the labour market and housework division between men and women. Two databases are used; the Workplace Employment Relations Survey (WERS) and British Household Panel Survey (BHPS). Various econometric techniques are applied, such as Fixed Effects and Dynamic Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) models Instrumental Variables (IV) and Generalized Latent Class Ordered Probit Models, Seemingly Unrelated Regressions (SURE) and Three Stage Least Squares (3SLS).
Artists across the border

This project envisages the organization of four paintings exhibition in the Slovenian partners’ galleries of Nova Gorica and in the Kulturni dom gallery in Gorizia. They are personal exhibitions that may take place in several places at the same time. The Kulturni dom gallery in Gorizia, the Mestna Galerija and the Galleria Artes in Nova Gorica boast a lively and regulary activity. So far two exhibitions have been held, first in Slovenia and then in Italy or vice versa, in order to involve several places and reach as many people as possible. The project aims at inducing the residents of Gorizia and Nova Gorica to visit art galleries irrespective of their location, and to think of the two cities as a single entity. The reference target consists of the regular and irregular exhibition visitors, art critics, journalists, cultural operators, art lovers. Every exhibition lasts for about a month and can avail itself of a bilingual monographic catalogue. The multiannual experience of the subjects involved in the project shows that similar initiatives are important opportunities to learn about the cultural offer of one’s own city and surroundings. The directness and immediacy of the visual arts is comparable only to musical expression.
Proximity

"This project is part of the plan PRO SOL": The project “We-Proximity” experiments new models of “local welfare” with the establishment of exchange networks and sharing of good practices in the cross-border context. The territorial scope of these activities includes marginal areas, sparsely populated and characterised by a progressive depopulation due to economic and social changes occurred in recent years. Isolation and difficulties in accessing services for the people who still live there have appeared in these areas. The goal of this project is to develop, in the mountain communities, a network model of people care.

The reorganization of health and social services requires an Italian-French strategic vision in terms of development of the territorial ecosystem (prevention capacities, support for mountain communities and sustainability).
This plan foresees 4 projects defined in relation to the target groups: young people, women, elderly people and proximity. The objectives are socio-health integration and the development of open and united communities, with new work opportunities in innovative services, with a view to supporting families in areas that are not easily accessible.
For each project, a working method is planned with common phases, the study of the environment (until 2022), the qualitative and quantitative monitoring of the resources and services in place, through assessment assessments by users, professionals. and the socio-sanitary operators,
The selection of appropriate instruments to increase services in the community, with a jointly planned feasibility study. Experimenting with innovative solutions, benchmarking results and preparing guidelines for defining common policies. The Proximity project will allow constant exchange between public organizations and the social private sector for the production of common tools for analysis, implementation and programming, and the experimentation, within each target project, of new models of perennial proximity welfare.

Information added on 2021-02-02, regarding the mitigation of the effects of COVID-19 (the coronavirus pandemic that started in 2019):
In the context of the COVID-19 crisis, this project modified one of its planned activities in order to offer specific trainings and to deal with the lack of caregivers in retirement homes. The trainings are targeted at caregivers who have already worked in emergency situations.
