Signal correction to reveal other earths

Searching for life signatures on another planet is one of the key endeavours of astrophysics and today, we are in a unique position to make this possible. The TESS satellite, which just started observing, will find the first Earth-twins orbiting bright stars, which will allow follow-up studies with JWST and ELTs to characterize the atmosphere of those exoplanets. However, TESS will only measure the radius of the detected Earth-twins, which is not enough to interpret the spectroscopic features in their atmospheres. The mass is also required, and it can be obtained using the radial-velocity (RV) technique, which measures the gravitational influence of an exoplanet on its host star.  To measure the mass of the Earth-twins that TESS will detect, the community have built incredible RV instruments that can reach a RV precision of 0.25 m/s (ESPRESSO commissioning). Such an extreme precision is required to measure the tiny signature of an Earth-twin, however, this is without considering the perturbing signals induced by its host star, by Earth’s atmosphere and by instrumental noise. Indeed, we know that these perturbing signals mask completely the signal induced by an Earth-twin, and now that the RV instruments have the sensitivity to detect such planets, it is urgent to develop novel methods for mitigating the different perturbing signals. Understanding the different perturbing signals is extremely challenging and require incredible data. The PI have built two telescopes that feed Sun-light into the best RV instruments. The obtained data are of exceptional quality, and the goal of SCORE is to analyse them, explore novel promising methods for mitigating the different perturbing signals and find the tiny signatures of Earth and Venus. This will open the way towards the mass-measurement of Earth-twins, which is essential in the quest for finding life elsewhere, but also to understand planetary formation and dynamics. SCORE will therefore benefit the entire planet community.
An internally consistent data product for the world ocean: the Global Ocean Data Analysis Project, version 2 (GLODAPv2)

Abstract. For version 2 of the Global Ocean Data Analysis Project (GLODAPv2) we collated data from 724 scientific cruises covering the global ocean: data assembled in the previous efforts GLODAPv1.1 (Global Ocean Data Analysis Project version 1.1) in 2004, CARINA (CARbon IN the Atlantic) in 2009/10, and PACIFICA (PACIFic ocean Interior CArbon) in 2013, and an additional 168 cruises. Twelve core parameters (salinity, oxygen, macronutrients, seawater CO2 chemistry parameters and halogenated transient tracers) have been subjected to extensive quality control including systematic evaluation of biases between cruises. The data are available in two formats: (i) as submitted but updated to WOCE exchange format whenever required, and (ii) as a merged and calibrated data product. In the latter, adjustments have been applied to remove significant biases, respecting occurrences of any known or likely time trends. Adjustments determined by previous efforts have been re-evaluated. Hence, GLODAPv2 is not a simple merge of previous collections and some new data, but represents a unique, internally consistent data product. The original data and their documentation and doi codes are available at the Carbon Dioxide Information Analysis Center (http://cdiac.ornl.gov/oceans/GLODAPv2/). This site also provides access to the calibrated data product, which is provided as a single global file or 4 regional ones: the Arctic, Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific Oceans, under the doi:10.3334/CDIAC/OTG.NDP093_GLODAPv2. The product files also include significant ancillary and approximated data. The latter were obtained either by interpolation of, or by calculation from, measured data. This paper documents the GLODAPv2 history, methods, and products, including a broad overview of the secondary quality control results. The magnitude of and reasoning behind the adjustments are available on a per cruise and parameter basis in an online Adjustment Table.

Een-Services for supporting the key account management process in the sme-instrument and enhancing the innovation management capacities of smes (kamino)

The project will be funded under HORIZON 2020 to boost the participation of European SME in the SME instrument of HORIZON 2020 and to enhance the innovation management capacities of high innovative SME. Implementation activities are organized in two work packages (WP):
On the one hand, the project wants to accompany beneficiaries of the SME instrument in the implementation of their project ideas and to organize a coaching for them within the WP Key Account Management (KAM). 
On the other hand the project activities should result in significant higher innovation management capacities of SME (WP Enhancing Innovation Management Capacity process: EIMC). Therefore, the innovation capacities and processes, innovation strategies and internal organizations of SME as well as their relation with innovation partners are to assess. Identified gaps and bottlenecks in the innovation management capacities will be discussed and measures and work plans to overcome them will be defined by the EEN consultants jointly with the SME. 

KAMINO contains a package of assistance for successful applicants in the SME instrument of H2020 and delivers assessments, advise and consultations to support SME to strengthen their innovation management capacities. Three partners – the ATI Küste GmbH, the Steinbeis Forschungszentrum Nordost and the Technologiepark Warnemünde GmbH – work on the mentioned activities. For the realisation of the assessment process the partners will apply assessment tools with the relevant SME. The fourth partner –IHK zu Rostock as the coordinator EEN M-V consortium – will formally act as coordinator also for this action.
The acquisition of the best suited enterprises will be done by various sources of the partners. For the KAM-process the potential candidates will be nominated by the European Commission through a special evaluation process. The consortium EEN M-V plans to perform 16 assessment service packages, both KAM and EIMC, in the two years.
Optimal insertion depth of endotracheal tube among Japanese

To the Editor: A recent clinical trial from Austria recommended ‘‘the 20/22 cm rule’’ to determine the insertion depth of an endotracheal tube (ETT) to 20 cm in women and 22 cm in men, measured at the corner of the mouth [1]. In this study, we determined the insertion depth of ETT using the vocal cord marker, measured the distance between the distal tip of ETT and carina (T–C length), and compared the actual distance with the calculated distance if the insertion depth of ETT was determined by the 20/22 cm rule. This retrospective study was approved by the research ethics committee of Kyorin University Hospital, which granted a waiver of written informed consent. In 69 Japanese patients undergoing general anesthesia requiring oral endotracheal intubation, we decided the depth of ETT using the vocal cord marker during tracheal intubation. We measured the T–C length on a portable chest radiograph taken at the end of surgery (the T–C length by the vocal cord marker). In the same patients, we calculated the T–C length if the depth of ETT was determined by the 20/22 cm rule (the T–C length by the 20/22 cm rule). According to the T–C length, the insertion depth of ETT was defined as ‘‘appropriate’’ (2–6 cm), ‘‘shallow’’ ([6 cm), and ‘‘deep’’ (\2 cm). Figure 1 shows the T–C length by the vocal cord marker and by the 20/22 cm rule. No statistical difference in the T–C length was detected by paired t test, although these nonsignificant differences can be false negatives because of the limited sample size. However, three females shorter than 150 cm in height were supposed to get endobronchial intubation when the depth of ETT was determined by the 20/22 cm rule. In conclusion, when we apply the 20/22 cm rule to Japanese patients, caution is needed for females shorter than 150 cm.
Faith in war: the religious experience of Scottish soldiery, c.1100–c.1500

This paper examines the comparatively patchy evidence for the pastoral provision and personal faith of late medieval Scottish combatants below the rank of knight. By examining such sources as papal supplications, royal financial accounts, parliamentary rolls, chronicles, poetry and the cartularies of Scottish monastic houses and burgh collegiate churches, it is possible to identify elite and parish provision of churchmen serving the needs of Scottish troops as they mustered, trained and prepared for battle. In addition, this evidence also highlights a number of cults and relics popular with the social ranks of the ordinary Scottish soldiery, including those of SS Ninian, Leonard, Thomas Becket, Columba, the Blessed Virgin Mary and — often cast as the nemesis of Scottish troops — Cuthbert. However, this survey also points to some tensions between the spiritual interests of Scottish servicemen and their ruling elites.
Thermodynamic study of C 2 H 2 thin films adsorbed on graphite (0001)

Thermodynamic properties of C 2 H 2 thin films adsorbed on (0001) surfaces of an exfoliated graphite substrate have been investigated by means of volumetric adsorption isotherms technique. A complete isotherm of C 2 H 2 adsorbed on graphite shows five steps with different height. Such steps represent a transition from a (2D) dilute phase to a (2D) dense one. For each step, a set of adsorption isotherms is measured. Clapeyron equations P:f(1/T) are then determined and thermodynamic quantities are calculated and compared to the literature available ones. The second step is divided into two sharp steps at a given range of temperature which means that the condensed matter undergoes two phase transitions. The nature of such phases is discussed in light of thermodynamic quantities. The molecules orientation in the suggested structures seems to be governed by quadrupole-quadrupole interaction. Recent neutron diffraction measurements support thermodynamic conclusions.
The Characteristics of the Velocity field in a slot ventilated wall cavity

Numerical investigations, using Reynolds Averaged Navier-Stokes (RANS) based methodology, were carried out to determine the characteristics of the velocity field in a thin wall cavity using rectangular slots with free ventilation area of about 3100 mm 2 . The computation of the cavity flow in this study was based on three different flow modes: the pressuredriven, the buoyancy-driven and the combined pressure- and buoyancy-driven flow modes in a single-sided ventilation approach. The numerical results obtained with the computational fluid dynamics fluent package using the standard k-e turbulence model show that a maximum velocity of about 6 m/s was obtained for ambient temperature ranging from -20 to 20 o C under the buoyancy-driven flow mode. This velocity of the cavity flow under this flow mode was shown to be significantly greater than a maximum velocity of about 1.5 m/s obtained under the pressure-driven and the combined flow modes. The predicted velocity fields for all flow modes employed in this study are characterized by multi-cellular patterns of airflow.
Assessment of the Technological Capabilities of Climate Change Actors in Agricultural Innovation System in Southeast Nigeria

Effective climate change adaptation and mitigation requires actors who have acquired requisite technological capabilities to efficiently use climate change equipment/information to counter the ravaging impacts of climate change. Technological capability has seven categories namely: investment, production, minor change, major change, learning, strategic marketing and linkage capabilities. The study assessed the technological capability of climate change actors in agricultural innovation system in Southeast Nigeria. Five sub-systems (education, technology transfer, policy, research and farmer) that constitute an agricultural innovation system were identified and the staff in each system served as actors. Statistical analyses of the data show that all the actors except the research sub-system actors lack investment capability in equipment (85%) and human resource development (60%). Traditional learning and linkage capability by which firms enhance their competence were strong among all the actors. Funding/manpower (0.959), organizational (0.785) and weak policy (0.916) related factors influenced the development of technological capabilities of the actors. The study recommends that Government and non governmental agencies like United Nations Development Programme and World Bank should provide adequate funding to the actors in order to enhance the development of their technological capabilities. Keywords: climate change, technological capabilities, actors, agricultural innovation system, southeast Nigeria

Mechanism for Enhancement of Synergy and Sustainability among Enterprises

The idea of working together on the improvement of the regional development policies for the economic and qualitative growth of the social entrepreneurship has started within Interreg IVC PEOPLE project that has identified Agency for the Sustainability of Social Enterprise (Veneto) and Hampshire School for Social Entrepreneurs as good practices. Both institutions have the aim of improving the social entrepreneurship facilitating coordination and cooperation between Social Enterprises -SE-, public authorities and companies at local level.
Many initiatives in this sector have been conducted in the past, but in a more isolated way, mostly on local and regional level. The MESSE partnership has identified the need for joint action and exchange of experiences in a partnership with different strengths and needs so they could all actively learn from each other.

The overall objective and the main aim of the Project MESSE is to improve the effectiveness of regional development policies
for the economic and qualitative growth of social entrepreneurship in Europe. The exchange, sharing and transfer of policy experience, knowledge and good practices will contribute to achieving this objective.

The social entrepreneurship (the 3rd sector) is defined as the fastest growing force in the Old Member States, important because of its strong impact on the growth of regional economy and because of its Social Return On Investment -SROI-, a monetary value of social, community and environmental impacts.
New Member States demonstrate clear interest for the development of the sector,  but the concept is still not clarified and legislative framework should come after the assessment of the existing experiences.

The partnership covers wide EU area: it is made of 9 partners coming from 9 different regions, 9 different ""new and old"" Memeber States (IT, EL, ES, RO, HU, BG, SE, DE, UK), all local, regional, national authorities and opinion leaders with strong influence
on their policy makers.
The core activities of the project are divided in three parts: 
1. Interregional analysis of the sector;
2. Identification of existing good practices for support of synergies between SE, companies and public authorities (such as structures, support services, legislative and tax instruments); 
3. Interregional study visits and focus groups as catalyst for increased regional competitiveness. 
A very limited part of the project consists of a pilot action – experimentation of a MESSE mentoring system introduced by the partnership, through the joint MESSE Net Internet portal.

The main result of the project will be improved policy making processes by adopting evidence-based making, the creation of MESSE network for long term collaboration among the regions involved, and increased knowledge about the sector among key stakeholders. The project will also result in increased number of support services for enterprises and tailor made solutions for the third sector.
The management of mucous membrane pemphigoid and pemphigus

Mucous membrane pemphigoid and pemphigus vulgaris are autoimmune blistering disorders in which many similar drugs and therapeutic strategies are utilized. In general, localized disease can be treated with topical agents. In contrast, patients with more severe and progressive disease usually require a combination of systemic corticosteroids and immunosuppressive medications. Oral corticosteroids, adjuvant immunosuppressive agents, antibiotics such as dapsone and immunomodulatory procedures like intravenous immunoglobulin are the main therapeutic agents used in treating these two disorders. Much of the morbidity and mortality associated with these disorders are related to the sites involved and to the drugs used for therapy. Treatment should be individualized based on severity, extent, and rate of progression of disease, comorbidities, and age of the patient. Serum levels of specific autoantibodies and indirect immunofluorescence titers, in certain cases, can be used to monitor response to therapy.

METHOD FOR CONTROLLING A PROCESS INVOLVING THE DEWAXING OF HYDROCARBON OILS

The invention relates to a method for controlling the dewaxing of an oil phase comprising a hydrocarbon oil which has been optionally diluted in at least one organic solvent. The inventive method includes the following steps namely: a step (a) comprising the formation of wax crystals in the above-mentioned phase, and a step (b) comprising the separation of the wax crystals thus formed from the dewaxed oil phase. An additional step is performed between step (a) and step (b), consisting in measuring the number of wax crystals in the flux conveying a suspension of crystals from step (a) using a particle-size analysis probe, comprising the reflection of light on the crystals. According to the invention, an alarm procedure and/or an intervention procedure is triggered if the number of measured particles falls suddenly by a pre-determined value. The invention also relates to the use of one such particle-size analysis probe in order to detect at least one continuous liquid phase demixing phenomenon in a solid/liquid suspension or liquid/liquid dispersion flux.
Novel tools to evaluate atm systems coupling under future deployment scenarios

The primary objective of Domino is to develop a set of tools, a methodology and a platform to assess the coupling of ATM systems from a flight and a passenger perspective. The platform will allow ATM system designers to gain insight on the impact of applying new mechanisms. It will provide a view of the impact of deploying solutions in different manners, e.g., harmonized vs. local/independent deployment, and information on the criticality of elements in the system and how this might be different for different stakeholders.
Domino will identify, test and validate metrics based on complexity science to understand the coupling of elements in the ATM systems, creating at toolbox to analyse the system. A generalizable and extendable agent-based model, capable of capturing the interactions between stakeholders and ATM elements, will be developed. Behavioural models will be created to capture the impact of modifying the operational context by introducing new mechanisms.
Domino will define a set of case studies to test the methodology based on a few mechanisms: Dynamic Cost Indexing (DCI), User-Driven Prioritisation Process (UDPP) and Extended Arrival Manager (E-AMAN). These mechanisms will be modelled with different operational concepts and uptakes and in isolation or in conjunction.
Two set of case studies will be used: investigative and adaptive. Investigative case studies will be defined early in the project and prioritised with a stakeholders’ consultation. The results of those investigative case studies along with potential modifications to mitigate or enhance some of the effects observed will be presented at a dedicated workshop. The output of that workshop with stakeholders will be the adaptive case studies, which will be tested in their turn.
A key element of Domino is the continuous consultation process through the establishment of an Advisory Board composed by stakeholders and through interaction with stakeholders with dedicated consultations and targeted workshop.
Spinal exoskeletal robot for low back pain prevention and vocational reintegration

Low-back pain is the leading cause of worker absenteeism after the common cold, accounting for 15% of sick leaves and hundreds of millions of lost work days annually [Walking 2.0, Nature, 2015].

Most of today's robotic assistive devices are in forms of exoskeletons that augment the motion of legs and arms and neglect the role of spinal column in transferring load from the upper body and arms to the legs. In SPEXOR we will fill this gap and design a novel and revolutionary spinal exoskeleton to prevent low-back pain in able bodied workers and to support workers with low-back pain in vocational rehabilitation.

The concept to realize the objectives of SPEXOR is driven by several interdisciplinary ideas that push current understanding of low-back pain intervention through several innovative research and technological stages. First, robot-centred requirements for low-back pain prevention are determined and a musculoskeletal stress monitoring system is developed to unobtrusively measure the associated key variables. Then, optimal design parameters and sensorimotor strategies are provided with respect to the robot-centred requirements and their associated key variables. Based on these aspects, a spinal exoskeleton mechanism and its actuation is developed and adaptive control architecture is employed. Such research and development cycle is enclosed by multi-phase end-user evaluation, usability and satisfaction studies.

The project builds upon the partner's extensive experience with work ergonomics, modelling and optimization of human movement, design, control and evaluation of exoskeletons. Several beyond-the-state-of-art scientific approaches and technologies will be employed through a colourful mixture of research, industrial, SME and end-user partners of the consortium.

Ultimately, the results of SPEXOR will have a significant impact well beyond the current scientific understanding and technological capabilities of assistive robots used in daily life and health care.
