Regenerative therapy for hippocampal degenerative diseases: lessons from preclinical studies

Increase in life expectancy has put neurodegenerative diseases on the rise. Amongst these, degenerative diseases involving hippocampus like Alzheimer's disease (AD) and temporal lobe epilepsy (TLE) are ranked higher as it is vulnerable to excitotoxicity induced neuronal dysfunction and death resulting in cognitive impairment. Modern medicines have not succeeded in halting the progression of these diseases rendering them incurable and often fatal. Under such scenario, regenerative studies employing stem cells or their by-products in animal models of AD and TLE have yielded encourageing results. This review focuses on the distinct cell types, such as hippocampal cell lines, neural precursor cells, embryonic stem cells derived neural precursor cells, induced pluripotent stem cells, induced neurons and mesenchymal stem cells, which can be employed to rescue hippocampal functions in neurodegenerative diseases like AD and TLE. Besides, the divergent mechanisms through which cell based therapy confer neuroprotection, current impediments and possible improvements in stem cell transplantation strategies are discussed. Authors are aware of the voluminous literature available on this issue and have made a sincere attempt to put forth the current status of research in the field of cell based therapy concurrently discussing the promise it holds for combating neurodegenerative diseases like AD and TLE in the near future.

A Cluster Approach towards Enhancing Chinese- American Trade Opportunities

For some time now, China has relied heavily on industrial clusters to create an international competitive edge. While the program has been largely successful, China has increasingly had to cope with severe accusations from its trading partners who claim a policy of dumping and selling low quality products with flaws, and hazardous outcomes. Claims are also made that China has not been as mindful of its resource utilization, environment impact, and overall economic efficiency as it should be. The thrust of this paper recognizes that opportunities exist for both the US and China to use this period as one of enhanced communication and cooperative ventures and planning initiatives. It is a hypothesis that cluster analysis offers a major vehicle that shows how all nations can begin to meet the needs of their people and do it in an environmentally and economically responsible manner.
Gender4Growth

Gender4Growth answers 2 background necessities: growth and gender equity. Gender inequalities are today still present in the economy. This provokes two problems: 1) a structural obstacle against growth, because significant share of the population (mainly women) has restrictions to job market access and entrepreneur opportunities, and 2) a source of unacceptable inequalities for a wants-be democratic continent. This has been addressed in a Lisbon goal: 60% women employment in 2010. 
Objectives of Gender4Growth is to update partners economic policies with enough consideration to gender issues. Subgoals will be to identify the appropriate economic policies that integrate full contribution of gender, make them available on adequate supports, initiate their transfer to partners, and develop enough targeted communication so as to provide higher level decision-making influence that will ease adoption of adequate measures.
Technical activities are typical of a medium-intensity Interreg operation: identification of best practices upon methodological basis, exchange and review between partners, transfer sessions through European workshops and local trainings. Management of Best practices includes a Technical Advisory Committee. 
Diffusion is set at both technical and decision-makers level, so as to give a wider impact to project and Interreg programme. “Gender4Growth Initiative” is a specific elaboration of diffusion targeted at decision- and policy-makers, thanks to involvement of partners' politicians to ward their colleagues in other European regions outside the partnership: 3 European conferences, exchange about orientations and commitments between regional executives and social partners. Communication is also based on standard actions: press releases at each possible occasion, internet and paper supports, presence to other relevant events, proactive contacts to existing networks and organizations.
During the 3 years, partners will deliver  “Awards” to local economic initiatives that most resolve gender issues; they will previously offer technical support so as to ease emergence of such initiatives.
Coordination includes quality monitoring and risk management. 
Main outputs will be a review of partners experience including programming documents, a compendium of identified best practices, best practice exchange events, a series of local and European events with a multiplicative effect, extended segmented communication to European targets, creation of diffusion supports about project results. Main expected results are: reviewed partners policies, staff and organizations with increased sensibility and capacity; a higher presence of gender issue in economic political agendas.

An event driven Smart Home Controller enabling cost effective use of electric energy and automated Demand Side Management

This paper proposes the design of a Smart Home Controller strategy providing efficient management of electric energy in a domestic environment. The problem is formalized as a binary linear programming problem, the output of which specifies the best time to run of Smart Household Appliances, under a Virtual Power Threshold constraint, taking into account the real power threshold and the forecast of consumption from not plannable loads. This problem formulation allows to analyze relevant scenarios from consumer and energy retailer point of view: here optimization of economic saving in case of multi-tariff contract and Demand Side Management have been discussed and simulated. Simulations have been performed on relevant test cases, based on real load profiles provided by the smart appliance manifacturer Electrolux S.p.A. and on energy tariffs suggested by the energy retailer Edison. Results provide a proof of concept about the consumers benefits coming from the use of local energy management systems and the relevance of automated Demand Side Management for the general target of efficient and cost effective operation of electric networks.
Revinax platform for 3d virtual reality learning techniques for complex medical applications

Recent studies have shown in Germany, 18,000 people died due to hospital errors. This number was even higher in the
United States. Tracing this preventable problem to the source, we found that our surgeons, doctors, and medical students
still participate in traditional ineffective means of learning. Students are put through years of lectures while never fully
engaging in practice. When the students are finally allowed in the surgery room, it is only to witness and they miss the point
of view of the surgeon. In response, Revinax has created VR4Health project that exploits the idea of using interactive virtual
reality as a training method. Revinax’s process consists in: 1.Record the surgeries using a state-of-the-art camera rig that
enables the surgeon’s point of view, 2.Edition of the video/audio, 3.Transferring the video into a software app compatible for
smart devices 4. Additional integrated e-learning options like Observer feature (for interactivity between trainer and students)
and pedagogical contents (tests, anatomical atlas, etc) . Studies prove that the introduction of virtual reality into surgical
training is superior to conventional training allowing undivided focus, an emotional connection, and adaptation to real life
experiences, all in the surgeon’s point of view. The emerging e-learning market is growing rapidly with the growth of the
market almost expected to double in the next 5 years. We have developed an innovative solution that will greatly improve
surgical training allowing to decrease surgical errors, and the associated burden for EU healthcare systems. At the same
time VR4Health will boost the growth of Revinax to get estimated profits of €13.28M by 2016 and achieve a headcount
growth of 23new employees. Additionally, we plan to gradually expand VR4Health to other continents and eventually
participate in an UNESCO sponsored project to provide better surgical education in African and Asian countries.
Be my eyes - the mobile platform that allows sighted people to lend their eyes to the blind and visually impaired

In spite of being a minority, there are 36 million blind and 217 million visually impaired people in the world, with 25 million living within the EU. To them, trivial, but important things most people do not pay attention to, such as looking into the expiration date from food, read the allergen information on a food label or getting a can of coconut milk from the pantry, are daunting tasks. However, these discouraging moments follow a recognizable pattern within their everyday life. Hans Jørgen Wiberg, the inventor of Be My Eyes (and visually impaired himself), recognized this thanks to his work at “The Danish Association of the Blind”. In January 2015, the start-up BME IVS launched Be My Eyes, the largest cost-free crowdsource mobile platform, especially designed for the blind and visually impaired, lending them a “pair of eyes” when they need it. Through a live video connection, our 58,000 blind and visually impaired users can ask any of our 865,000 sighted volunteers for help to overcome their challenges, 24 hours a day in more than 130 languages. Now, we have decided to move to the next level and create Be My Eyes Enterprise, the first mobile platform where companies (our clients) provide visually-adapted customer service to their customers. By just pressing a button our platform connects the customer with specialized agents, who can solve any issue via live connection, screen sharing and screen control. We have already formal agreements with corporate clients such as Microsoft or Lloyds Bank, thus proving the viability from our business model. The global market of assistive technology is expected to grow at an annual CAGR of 6.9% until 2019. Hence, this is a growing market which lacks companies offering visually-adapted customer service. With Be My Eyes Enterprise, we want to seize this business opportunity, anticipating revenues of €11.7 million by 2024, whilst creating 30 new direct jobs within the company to satisfy our growth needs.
Using high-power LEDs in harsh environments

Light-emitting diodes (LEDs) are becoming common as energy efficient light sources. Their long life, small footprint and low energy consumption show great promise in many applications including those that relate to harsh environments. However, in designing an efficient light source, a mathematical model is required. The development of such a mathematical model was identified as a priority task by the U.S. Department of Energy in 2010 for general lighting. In this paper, we report an experiment involving two high-power white LED models which were stressed with different currents and junction temperatures. It shows the large variation between different models and stress conditions that takes place in the degradation process. This is part of an effort to develop a tool for the simulation of LED degradation for harsh environment lighting conditions.

Chiral Inductions in Excited State Reactions: Photodimerization of Alkyl 2-Naphthoates as a Model

Enantioselectivity in organic transformations continues to be a topic major interest in organic photochemistry. In the last decade, synergistic combination of photocatalysis and organocatalysis has emerged as a powerful strategy to gain enantioselectivity in photochemical reactions, and remarkable achievements have been obtained. In this strategy, the asymmetric induction is provided in ground state. In contrast, in the conventional enantioselective photochemistry, the chiral induction is controlled in electronic excited state, and to achieve high stereoselectivity is still a formidable challenge. Because the reactions of excited states often yield strained products with unique structures in single step that are difficult to form by thermal reactions, the development of new strategies attempted to achieve enantioselectivity in excited state reactions is still highly desired. Since the short excited state lifetime and low activation energy for reaction in excited state leave little room for manipulating the chiral induction, in order to gain enantioselectivity the substrate molecule has to already reside in a chiral environment during the excitation step. Chiral auxiliaries and chiral supramolecular hosts can provide such environments. In this presentation, we summarize the studies employing chiral auxiliary and chiral microreactor approaches to achieve high asymmetric inductions in excited state reactions performed in our laboratory. We chose the photodimerization of alkyl 2-naphthoates as a reaction model to give deeper insights into the basic factors controlling chiral induction in excited state.
Preclinical human in vitro drug immune response analysis platform

Drug-induced tissue damage and the associated risk for developing auto-immune secondary disease is fully ignored in preclinical toxicity testing. As a consequence, there are currently 300 drugs on the market that cause drug-induced auto-immune-mediated interstitial lung disease. In their regulatory documents, EMA and FDA strongly advocate for inclusion of tests to address this type of adverse effects in preclinical research. Immundz (www.immundnz.com) addresses this market opportunity by developing a unique and innovative platform, PHIVIDIAS, for comprehensive preclinical analysis of drug-induced tissue damage and the immune response against molecules released from the damaged cells, together with a computational model for risk assessment for developing auto-immune secondary disease. The testing platform will be animal free. Key persons from the client networks and a variety of other small and large companies have already been approached to assess their interest in the PHIVIDIAS platform. Their feedback identified a significant need for the PHIVIDIAS test platform and a variety of companies expressed their commitment to use the services. With PHIVIDIAS, Immundnz will be first in the market.
Effects of biomass/coal copyrolysis parameters on the product yield: a review

Abstract Pyrolysis is one of the prospective processes that can be utilized to obtain high value chemicals and energy from coal and biomass. Coal-biomass co-pyrolysis presents a green, low-risk, cheap, sustainable, renewable energy source with low carbon emissions. Co-pyrolysis offers the highest yield of liquid fuels and gas compared to the individual feedstocks. It has been illustrated that the production yields experimentally usually exceed the calculated and this can be explained by the possible synergy and interactions that takes place when coal is blended with biomass. The progressive OH and H ions donated to coal from biomass together with the catalytic function of AAEM species (mainly K, Na, Ca, and Mg) could explain this synergetic effect from the biomass. The yield, composition and distribution of coal-biomass co-pyrolysis products is largely dependent on operative parameters. Therefore, it is very important to explore the effects of these variables on product yield. Parameters influencing coal-biomass pyrolysis include feedstock type, feedstock pre-treatment, and reaction conditions i.e. catalysis, temperature, residence time and heating rate. This written material outlines a concise product properties due to the variable pyrolysis conditions together with product analysis methods.
