Restructuring for a future opportunity

The city of Lieksa has not been subject to a sudden restructuring. Instead, the city of Lieksa has been undergoing so-called creeping restructuring for decades. A structural transformation into a future opportunity is needed in order to find action descriptions capable of turning this continuous negative process into a positive one.  The aim is also to use modified functional descriptions in addition to Lieksa in other similar locations. The project is divided into three areas; acceleration of restructuring, acceleration of positive restructuring and ownership of restructuring. In connection with the acceleration of structural change, threat/possibility analyses of key industries will be carried out, on the basis of which contingency plans will be drawn up. Similar analyses and policy proposals will also be carried out in the public sector. From the point of view of positive structural change, contingency plans for the implementation of positive projects of Community relevance will be drawn up on the basis of the analyses. This will also draw on the content of accelerated restructuring and ownership restructuring. From the perspective of proprietary restructuring, a contingency plan will be drawn up to strengthen the various levels of international ownership in the Community.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR PRODUCING A HEMMED, FOLDED, AND SEAMED FINISHED WORKPIECE

A hemming and seaming machine (5) having a hemming conveyor (16) on which a workpiece is moved along a path of travel toward and through a hemming station which sews a hem in the workpiece is disclosed. The hemmed workpiece is then moved downstream to a folding station (25) where a spaced series of first air jets (61) selectively emit streams of air between a folding plate (26) and clamping plate (55) to create a vacuum therebetween to draw the leading edge of the workpiece off of the hemming conveyor and between the folding plate and the clamping plate. The leading edge of the workpiece is held between the clamping and folding plates while the workpiece continues to move along the path of travel. Subsequently, the workpiece is moved to a downstream seamer station (175), which sews a seam in the workpiece, and then to a downstream workpiece stacking station (177).
Extension of a model for eddy current inspection of cracks to pulsed excitations

Abstract Calculations are carried out to evaluate pulsed eddy-current interaction with a crack in a planar conductor. The field is excited by a coil carrying current pulses and crack signals are detected by measuring changes in the magnetic field above the conductor. The model is based on the Fourier superposition concept, where the current pulses are decomposed into distinct frequencies. An existing boundary element method model for eddy current inspection of narrow cracks is used for each frequency and the final transient crack signal is synthesized by the individual frequency responses. The model is verified by a 3D finite element commercial package with a time-stepping technique. Computation times for the presented approach are orders of magnitudes shorter and allow rapid parametric studies of the transient signals for identification of principal component characteristics as well as for inversion purposes.

Ecological aspects of fin whale and humpback whale distribution during summer in the Norwegian Sea

The Norwegian Sea is a migration and feeding ground for fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus) and humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) in summer. During the last decade, significant structural changes in the prey community, including northerly expansion and movement in the distribution of pelagic fish species, have been reported from this ecosystem. However, little information on whale feeding ecology exists in the Norwegian Sea and surrounding waters. A total of 59 fin whales and 48 humpback whales were sighted during 864 h of observation over an observation distance of about 8200 nmi (15,200 km) in the Norwegian Sea from 15 July to 6 August 2006 and 2007. The fin whale group size, as mean (±SD), varied between one and five individuals (2.1 ± 1.2 ind.) and humpback whale group size varied between one and six individuals (2.5 ± 1.7 ind.). Fin- and humpback whales were observed mainly in the northern part of the study area, and were only found correlated with the presence of macro-zooplankton in cold Arctic water. Humpback whales were not correlated with the occurrence of adult Norwegian spring-spawning herring (Clupea harengus) except for the northernmost areas. Despite changes in the whale prey communities in the Norwegian Sea, no apparent changes in fin- or humpback whale distribution pattern could be found in our study compared to their observed summer distribution 10–15 years ago.
Innovative circular solutions and services for new business opportunities in the eu housing sector

The housing sector is a major contributor to current global problems of resource depletion and climate change, representing one of the most important consuming sectors at EU level: 50% of all extracted materials, 40% of final energy consumption, 33% of water consumption and 33% of all produced waste. The lock-in to the linear business models of today is causing many environmental problems and is one of the major barriers in transition towards a circular economy. HOUSEFUL project proposes an innovative paradigm shift towards a circular economy for the housing sector by demonstrating the feasibility of an integrated systemic service composed of 11 circular solutions. HOUSEFUL will introduce solutions to become more resource efficient throughout the lifecycle of a building, taking into account an integrated circular approach where energy, materials, waste and water aspects are considered. This approach fosters new forms of co-creation, increasing the collaboration among stakeholders of the housing value chain to develop new circular solutions and services. HOUSEFUL concept will be large scale demonstrated at 4 demo-sites in Austria and Spain, adapting the concept to different scenarios, including in social housing buildings. HOUSEFUL solutions will be evaluated from an environmental (Life Cycle Assessment), economic (Life Cycle Cost) and social (Social Assessment) point of view. The results obtained will be used to define an integrated HOUSEFUL service which will be driven and promoted through a SaaS (Software as a Service). The SaaS will integrate a Circularity Tool to quantify the circularity level of buildings and will include different circular solutions to be offered as services, encouraging the housing value chain to redesign traditional business models towards circular ones. 10 EU Follower buildings will be engaged with the support of a Collaborative Community of Housing Experts to replicate HOUSEFUL results and maximise the impact of the project.
Individual differences in vulnerability for self-injurious behavior: Studies using an animal model

Self-injurious behavior (SIB) is a debilitating characteristic that is prevalent across a broad spectrum of neurodevelopmental disorders. In most of these disorders, some individuals exhibit SIB, whereas others do not. However, the neurobiological mechanisms that confer vulnerability are virtually unexplored. We examined innate characteristics that contribute to vulnerability or resistance for SIB in an animal model of the behavioral pathology. Eighteen outbred Long-Evans rats were screened for behavioral responsiveness to the mild stress of a novel environment. The rats were then categorized as high responders (HR; those rats that had the highest locomotor counts) or low responders (LR; those rats that had lower locomotor counts) by median split. All the rats were then given daily injections of the indirect monoamine agonist pemoline (150 mg/kg/day) for 10 days, and self-injury was evaluated. All 9 HR rats and 5 of the 9 LR rats exhibited self-injury. The HR rats spent more time self-injuring, injured more body sites, and caused larger areas of tissue damage than the LR rats did. Furthermore, the behavioral responsiveness to novelty stress was significantly correlated with each of these measures of self-injury. The HR rats did not exhibit substantially enhanced responses on other measures of psychostimulant action (stereotypy, grooming, locomotion, rearing). Accordingly, vulnerability to develop pemoline-induced SIB is positively correlated with, and can be predicted based upon, a behavioral measure of innate stress responsiveness. These findings suggest that characteristics that are common in developmental disorders may help predispose afflicted individuals to self-injure. The findings also extend the variety of behavioral pathologies (e.g. drug addiction) for which the HR/LR model predicts vulnerability.
Machine for time reversal and immersive wave experimentation

There is a need for a radically new laboratory experimental approach for studying the interaction of seismic waves with the complex media of the Earth’s subsurface. We present here a fundamental new approach to seismic wave experimentation that involves fully immersing a physical seismic experiment within a virtual numerical environment. This enormously challenging endeavour, which is relevant to many outstanding issues in seismology, has not been previously attempted. By continuously varying the output of numerous transponders closely spaced around the physical domain using a control algorithm that takes advantage of measurements made by a scanning Laser-Doppler Vibrometer and a novel theory of exact boundary conditions, waves travelling between the physical and numerical domains will seamlessly propagate back and forth between the two domains without being affected by reflections at the boundaries between the two domains. This will allow us to investigate diverse types of Earth materials using frequencies that are much closer to those of seismic waves propagating through the Earth than previously possible.

The novel laboratory enables experimentation under highly controlled conditions. A broad range of long-standing problems in wave propagation and imaging that have eluded Earth scientists and physicists for decades will be addressed. Fine scale heterogeneity, porosity and fluid saturation in real Earth media result in complex frequency-dependent amplitude and phase responses that we can characterize in the laboratory. Synthetically produced complex models can be used in wavefield-focussing experiments and to achieve complete elastic time-reversal for the first time ever. We will study coda waves that can be indicative of slight changes in stress fields before catastrophic fracturing and that might provide pre-cursory signs of earthquakes. Finally, the laboratory is highly relevant to applications such as non-destructive testing, medical imaging and lithotripsy.

Detection of N-acetyl methionine in human and murine brain and neuronal and glial derived cell lines

Despite the fact that N-acetyl methionine (NAM) supplementation has long been reported as a bioavailable source of methionine in humans, and known to reduce liver toxicity after acetaminophen overdose, its cellular endogenous presence has never been investigated. We demonstrate for the first time that NAM is present in both human and mouse tissues and cells in culture. A wide variety of cultured cells, including a number of brain derived cell types, as well as mouse and human brain tissue all have clearly detectable levels of NAM. Methionine is rapidly acetylated to form NAM in cultured human oligodendroglioma cells with an initial rate of 0.44 ± 0.064 atom percent excess per minute. The presence of measurable quantities of NAM in brain cells in combination with its rapid formation point to a potential physiological role for N-acetylated methionine in the brain. Aminoacylase 1 is responsible for metabolism of NAM to methionine and acetate. Deficiencies in aminoacylase 1 have been linked to a variety of neurological disorders; however, it is unclear whether and how the brain is affected by this defect. The reported presence of NAM in the human brain may provide an invaluable key to discovering the link between aminoacylase 1 mutations and neurological problems.
SYSTEMS AND METHODS FOR DATA AND MODEL-DRIVEN IMAGE RECONSTRUCTION AND ENHANCEMENT

Systems and methods are disclosed for image reconstruction and enhancement, using a computer system. One method includes acquiring a plurality of images associated with a target anatomy; determining, using a processor, one or more associations between subdivisions of localized anatomy of the target anatomy identified from the plurality of images, and local image regions identified from the plurality of images; performing an initial image reconstruction based on image acquisition information of the target anatomy; and updating the initial image reconstruction or generating a new image reconstruction based on the image acquisition information and the one or more determined associations.
Indications and practice for tube feeding in Japanese geriatricians: Implications of multidisciplinary team approach

The aim of this study was to examine how geriatricians decide the indication of tube feeding in the elderly with eating difficulty as a result of several disorders, and to determine the factors associated with their decision making and interventions for dysphagia.The design was a cross-sectional study. All board-certified geriatricians in the Japan Geriatrics Society were recruited to this study in September 2010. We sent questionnaires to 1469 geriatricians. Among them, 629 agreed to participate. The survey consisted of self-administered questionnaires regarding demographic information, indications of tube feeding and interventions for dysphagia before tube feeding.We analyzed the remaining 555 questionnaires after excluding incomplete ones. Over 90% of geriatricians answered that "neurological disorder" and "stroke" are indications, whereas 46.8% of them answered that "dementia" is an indication for tube feeding. Geriatricians who organize a multidisciplinary team conference tended to carry out more "interventions for dysphagia before the prescription of tube feeding" compared with the reference group (odds ratio 2.1-8.7) after multivariate adjustment.The results show that approximately half of the geriatricians prescribe tube feeding when the patient has dementia with loss of appetite or apraxia for eating. There is no consensus among Japanese geriatricians about the indication of tube feeding for demented people. We suggest that guidelines for tube feeding in the elderly should be established. Furthermore, a multidisciplinary approach would be desirable for decision making for tube feeding.
Reduction of barriers and prejudices on multi-storey wooden buildings through the creation of design awareness

Nowadays timber buildings are present worldwide, because the use of sustainable materials is encouraged both from governments and from public opinion. Furthermore, the huge flood and storms happened in November 2018 in Veneto region broke down thousands of trees, urging to remove them from damaged territories and possibly to rapidly use them. Thus a chance is to increase the number of timber multi-story buildings within the project region, but there is still a huge need for gaining the trust of construction companies, local governments and the general public as well as to spread the information concerning the possibility of timber multi-storey construction. Therefore, a much stronger cooperation is necessary with regard to R&D, education, knowledge transfer and best practice issues. The creation of awareness and reduction of prejudices and barriers for highvolume wooden constructions are main challenges. Therefor BIGWOOD will set up a cross-regional network to increase wood usage for highvolume projects. BIGWOOD will build up an environment for testing, validation and education/training. One main goal is the realisation of 3 different “demonstrators”: two small-and medium-sized mockups (1:5, 1:20) and an 1:1 mockup in Bozen at the NOI techpark which can also be used within the involved schools. Agreed quality standards needs to be defined and important planning issues regarding building with wood communicated.
On improving robustness of LDA and SRDA by using tangent vectors

Abstract In the area of pattern recognition, it is common for few training samples to be available with respect to the dimensionality of the representation space; this is known as the curse of dimensionality . This problem can be alleviated by using a dimensionality reduction approach, which overcomes the curse relatively well. Moreover, supervised dimensionality reduction techniques generally provide better recognition performance; however, several of these tend to suffer from the curse when applied directly to high-dimensional spaces. We propose to overcome this problem by incorporating additional information to supervised subspace learning techniques using what is known as tangent vectors . This additional information accounts for the possible differences that the sample data can suffer. In fact, this can be seen as a way to model the unseen data and make better use of the scarce training samples. In this paper, methods for incorporating tangent vector information are described for one classical technique (LDA) and one state-of-the-art technique (SRDA). Experimental results confirm that this additional information improves performance and robustness to known transformations.
The Texas Blueberry Industry—History, Trends, and Cultural Strategies

Dr. Hollis Bowen of Texas A & M University initiated the first variety trials of rabbiteye blueberry, Vaccinium ashei Reade, at Buna and Magnolia Springs, Texas, in 1966 and 1968, respectively. Performance data by the mid-1970s led to commercial plantings and in the early 1980s the Texas Blueberry Growers Association was formed. Many of the early commercial plantings suffered from chlorosis and poor growth. Soil, leaf tissue, and water quality standards established by Stephen F. Austin State University (SFASU) provided the benchmark levels associated with good plant growth and production. The Texas Blueberry Marketing Association fractured in the 1990s and reorganized in southeast Texas with 22 growers. Several grower/packer/shipper groups exist today, as well as a viable pick-your-own, roadside, and local sales industry. Current constraints center on frost at bloom, various insect and disease issues, and market difficulties. SFA continues to evaluate new germplasm as part of the USDA's Southern Region Bl...
