Synergies in nanotechnologies, materials and production in the european research area

This proposal for a Coordination Action aims at improving visibility  for essential stakeholders, most notably national/regional programming and funding authorities, on programming synergetic actions between the European Union and member states in the NMP Program. This shall be done by organising a forum and collecting road maps focused in particular on the use of the new ERANET instrument in the NMP area.

In doing so, the CSA shall acknowledge that the NMP program has an important role in translating result from flagships towards industrial application and in facilitating key enabling technologies towards the Grand Societal Challenges. It shall also take into account the methodology of technology readiness levels is leading the programmation of the NMP work program. Programming should also acknowledge that industrial leadership, for SMEs in particular is an important objective. This objective should result in a road-map with the aim to increase visibility on themes to program. 
 
In exploiting synergies, the new ERANET Instrument is an important  tool. In order to operationalize it in Horizon2020 visibility should be improved on best practices in using the ERANET under FP7 as well collecting a database on projects funded through it. This shall give input to a forum to discuss future opportunities and identify critical mass of funding agencies willing to support it.

Synergies shall often require alignment of European, National and Regional funding.  In fact operational programs under ERDF demand these synergies. In NMP many topics demand an alignment of proposals with regional Smart Specialisation Strategies. How these synergies can be organised is an explicit objective, with the aim, to enlarge the number of funding agencies (national or regional) able to use it. Therefore particular attention in this project shall be given to reach out to as many regions as possible.

MEASURING THE NIGHT SKY BRIGHTNESS WITH THE LIGHTMETER

We present a newly developed, low-cost photometer for long-term monitoring of the night sky brightness and light pollution on Earth. The so-called Lightmeter is an as far as possible stand-alone operational, fully weatherproof, and maintenance-free device. It provides a high data sampling rate of up to 1 Hz as well as a superb sensitivity covering the whole brightness range down to the darkest night time conditions. The excellent performance of the Lightmeter allows a continuously monitoring of the night sky brightness and opens a wide range of applications at an observatory site like determining overall sky conditions in real time, cloud detection and estimation of their velocity, measuring relative changes in extinction as well as the detection of long term trends in brightness caused by an increase of artificial illumination. We will present first results of measurements taken at Cerro Armazones, one of the best observing sites in the world and the selected site of the planned European Extremely Large Telescope (E-ELT).
Milk-induced wheezing in children with asthma

Food allergy has been gaining increasing attention, mostly as causing gastrointestinal and cutaneous reactions. Its role in asthma seems to be under-recognised.This study's aim is to explore the frequency of involvement of a common food, namely cow's milk, in childhood asthma.32 children (5 months to 11 years; median 24 months; mean 34 months) with asthma and a suspected history of cow's milk allergy were studied. They underwent skin prick testing (SPT) and specific IgE (sIgE) testing to whole cow's milk (WCM), casein, α-lactalbumin, and β-lactoglobulin, followed by single-blind oral milk challenge.Reactions to milk challenge occurred in 12 (37.5%) including wheezing in 5 (41.7%, or 15.6% of the whole group). Children who developed wheezing at the time of challenge were younger than those who had negative challenge (23.0 months vs. 34.8 months). Challenge was positive in 33.3% of subjects who had a positive SPT, and SPT was positive in 50% of challenge-positive subjects. Regarding sIgE, challenge was positive in 26.7% of sIgE-positive subjects, and sIgE was positive in 33.3% of challenge positive subjects. Skin or serum testing with individual protein fractions did not seem to add significant advantage over testing with WCM alone.This study shows that cow's milk can cause wheezing in children with asthma. Although SPT seemed to be more reliable than sIgE testing, both had suboptimal reliability. It is worth considering possible milk allergy in children with asthma, particularly when poorly controlled in spite of proper routine management.
FinFET Design Considerations Based on Schmitt Trigger with Slew Rate and Gain–Bandwidth Product Analysis

The FinFET device technology has become a strong adjunct to Schmitt trigger (ST). ST response to a sluggish input signal with a quick transition time at the output. This paper presents a systematic design of Schmitt trigger using 45 nm FinFET for low power supply application. The FinFET based Schmitt trigger optimizes propagation delay and leakage power while sustaining good noise response, gain---bandwidth product and slew rate. Our design has achieves delay up to 264 ps with a little leakage power of 1.9131 pW for a sine wave having frequency 1 GHz thus a result of implementing Schmitt trigger with FinFET technology we obtain power dissipation of 1.636 mW with 0.7 V supply. The performance parameters such as slew rate, output noise voltage, gain---bandwidth product, leakage power, power dissipation etc. have been carried out by using cadence virtuoso design tool at 45 nm FinFET implemented in independent gate mode. After simulation all these parameters has been compared with previous published 4T Schmitt trigger at 45 nm with this design and found that they are in close vicinity. Our design reduces delay, leakage power and dynamic power. FinFET based Schmitt trigger offers delay and leakage power reduction ?37.38 and ?75.15 % respectively at 0.7 V power supply.
Non-Invasive prenatal diagnostics – isolation of circulating trophoblast cells using a malaria protein

Placental biopsies are associated with high risk of miscarriage. Current non-invasive tests are not very precise. The malaria protein VAR2CSA has been evoluationary refined to bind specifically to human placent cells. This causes the syndrom placental malaria in pregnant women. Recombinant VAR2CSA binds with high specificity to syncytiotrophoblasts in the placenta as well as placental cell lines. Using this knowledge we have developed a powerful tool which captures circulating trophoblast from a blood sample from pregnant women. This tool enables non-invasive fetal diagnostic, early in pregnancy. The aim of the ERC PoC project is to A) prepare a strategic product and business plan and B) further develop and validate the methodology enabling facile and early non-invasive fetal diagnostic.
Structural Analysis to Inform Peer Support Arrangements for High School Students with Autism

As the enrollment of students with autism in general education classrooms increases, the need for effective strategies to improve the quality of inclusive practices remains evident. This study examined peer support arrangements as an alternative to direct adult support for three high school students with autism. In addition, I explored structural analysis as a means of formative assessment to further refine each peer support arrangement to better meet the individual needs of students. Peer support arrangements were associated with increases in social interactions and academic engagement for all participants. In addition, structural analyses implemented in general education classrooms yielded findings used to further refine peer support arrangements. These findings strengthen support for peer support arrangements as a means of improving the inclusive experiences of high school students with autism and highlight the potential of structural analysis as a feasible and effective means of further refining these interventions. Based on these findings, I offer implications for practice and directions for future research.
The Content of Silver, Cobalt, Chromium, Iron, Mercury, Rubidium, Antimony, Selenium, and Zinc in Osteogenic Sarcoma

Objectives: To clarify the role of trace elements in the etiology and the pathogenesis of the osteogenic sarcoma (osteosarcoma), a non-destructive neutron activation analysis with high resolution spectrometry of long-lived radionuclides was performed. Methods: The silver (Ag), cobalt (Co), chromium (Cr), iron (Fe), mercury (Hg), rubidium (Rb), antimony (Sb), selenium (Se), and zinc (Zn) mass fraction, Rb/Co, Rb/Fe, Rb/Se, and Rb/Zn mass fraction ratios as well as Co × Zn, Fe × Zn, Sb × Zn, Se × Zn, Co × Se, and Fe × Se mass fraction multiplications were estimated in normal bone samples from 27 patients with intact bone (12 females and 15 males, aged from 16 to 49 years), who had died from various non bone related causes, mainly unexpected from trauma, and in tumor samples, obtained from open biopsies or after operation of 27 patients with osteosarcoma (9 females and 18 males, 6 to 71 years old). The reliability of difference in the results between intact bone and osteosarcoma tissues was evaluated by Student’s t-test. Results: In the osteosarcoma tissue the mass fractions of Co, Cr, Fe, Sb, Se, and Zn are significantly higher while the mass fraction of Rb is lower than in normal bone tissues. Moreover, we found significantly lower values of Rb/Co, Rb/Fe, Rb/Se, and Rb/Zn mass fraction ratios as well as significant higher mean values of Co × Zn, Fe × Zn, Sb × Zn, Se × Zn, Co × Se, and Fe × Se mass fractions multiplications in the osteosarcoma tissue compared to intact bone. In the osteosarcoma tissue many correlations between trace elements found in the control group were no longer evident. Conclusion: In osteosarcoma transformed bone tissues the trace element homeostasis is significantly disturbed.
Evolution of lower hybrid turbulence in the ionosphere

Three-dimensional evolution of the lower hybrid turbulence driven by a spatially localized ion ring beam perpendicular to the ambient magnetic field in space plasmas is analyzed. It is shown that the quasi-linear saturation model breaks down when the nonlinear rate of scattering by thermal electron is larger than linear damping rates, which can occur even for low wave amplitudes. The evolution is found to be essentially a three-dimensional phenomenon, which cannot be accurately explained by two-dimensional simulations. An important feature missed in previous studies of this phenomenon is the nonlinear conversion of electrostatic lower hybrid waves into electromagnetic whistler and magnetosonic waves and the consequent energy loss due to radiation from the source region. This can result in unique low-amplitude saturation with extended saturation time. It is shown that when the nonlinear effects are considered the net energy that can be permanently extracted from the ring beam is larger. The results are applied to anticipate the outcome of a planned experiment that will seed lower hybrid turbulence in the ionosphere and monitor its evolution.
On the distributivity of LTL specifications

In this article, we investigate LTL specifications where γ[φ ∧ ψ] is equivalent to γ[φ] ∧ γ[ψ] independent of φ and ψ. Formulas γ with this property are called distributive queries because they naturally arise in Chan's seminal approach to temporal logic query solving [Chan 2000]. As recognizing distributive LTL queries is PSpace-complete, we consider distributive fragments of LTL defined by templates as in Buccafurri et al. [2001]. Our main result is a syntactic characterization of distributive LTL queries in terms of LTL templates: we construct a context-free template grammar LTLQ x which guarantees that all specifications obtained from LTLQ x are distributive, and all templates not obtained from LTLQ x have simple nondistributive instantiations.
Characterization and evaluation of tissue-mimicking gelatin phantoms for use with MRgFUS

A tissue-mimicking phantom that accurately represents human-tissue properties is important for safety testing and for validating new imaging techniques. To achieve a variety of desired human-tissue properties, we have fabricated and tested several variations of gelatin phantoms. These phantoms are simple to manufacture and have properties in the same order of magnitude as those of soft tissues. This is important for quality-assurance verification as well as validation of magnetic resonance-guided focused ultrasound (MRgFUS) treatment techniques.The phantoms presented in this work were constructed from gelatin powders with three different bloom values (125, 175, and 250), each one allowing for a different mechanical stiffness of the phantom. Evaporated milk was used to replace half of the water in the recipe for the gelatin phantoms in order to achieve attenuation and speed of sound values in soft tissue ranges. These acoustic properties, along with MR (T1 and T2*), mechanical (density and Young's modulus), and thermal properties (thermal diffusivity and specific heat capacity), were obtained through independent measurements for all three bloom types to characterize the gelatin phantoms. Thermal repeatability of the phantoms was also assessed using MRgFUS and MR thermometry.All the measured values fell within the literature-reported ranges of soft tissues. In heating tests using low-power (6.6 W) sonications, interleaved with high-power (up to 22.0 W) sonications, each of the three different bloom phantoms demonstrated repeatable temperature increases (10.4 ± 0.3 °C for 125-bloom, 10.2 ± 0.3 °C for 175-bloom, and 10.8 ± 0.2 °C for 250-bloom for all 6.6-W sonications) for heating durations of 18.1 s.These evaporated milk-modified gelatin phantoms should serve as reliable, general soft tissue-mimicking MRgFUS phantoms.
Technology and Cities: What Type of Development Is Appropriate for Cities of the South?

This paper deals with technologies, catalysts for change, and their links to development. Indeed, particularly for developing and emerging countries, scientific and technological breakthroughs create wonderful opportunities, but they may also convey risks that should not be overlooked. This leads to crucial questions on the nature of technological innovation and its capacity to fulfill the specific needs of certain societies. Thus, the issue of investing in priority sectors to guarantee more sustainable development for the benefit of all is paramount, as is the question of the stakeholders' direct or indirect involvement in this scientific, technological, and socioeconomic development process. Access to technologies is one of the last vital issues to be addressed. The paper, therefore, explores the question of the existence of exclusively urban technologies and their adaptability to city-related territorial and societal issues in emerging and developing countries and the key factors on which this adaptability will depend.
Sustainable calcium food additives and dietary supplements of high pureness to boost the ocean clam fisheries

Calcium carbonate mines are one of the most impacting extraction activities, so stricter environmental regulations are pushing research for alternative sources of this mineral, of wide use in a variety of industries.

ICECAL founding team have been involved for over 15 years in the valorization of ocean resources. The shell of the Ocean Quahog Clam, which is neglected by fisheries and disposed as waste on land and sea, is almost pure (99.9%) calcium carbonate. We have built a processing line including an accurate quality control system for mass extraction of calcium from this clam to commercialize, calcium carbonate powder for calcium fortification of food products. The commercial name is BLUECAL. ICECAL production process consumes 95% less water and at least 30% less energy in form of electricity than extraction from mines.

We will target first the market of food products for convenience wellness, a €31 Billion business opportunity. BLUECAL incorporated to foods like bars, snacks can serve as ideal delivery systems for the bone-building nutrient, without any negative impact to the texture or taste. Consumers are opting for nutritive convenience foods and nutritionally fortified foods in place of traditional convenience and junk foods. The consumers of these products are willing to pay a price premium on the account of all-natural ingredients, making calcium fortification with BLUECAL a competitive advantage for our target customers.

BLUECAL will allow the reactivation in Iceland of the otherwise non-profitable ocean quahog fisheries, highly sustainable but which have ceased activity due to sharp reduction of clam market prices as seafood. The supply of the shell to ICECAL will provide 100% increase in harbor value, making these fisheries lucrative instead of zero profit industry.This model will be exported to other countries with Ocean Quahog fisheries and thus, with high potential for profiting from this otherwise undervalued resource.
Narrative Structure, Corruption and Social Class in the First Series of 'The Wire'

The diploma thesis titled Narrative Structure, Corruption and Social Class in the First Series of 'The Wire' discusses the role of corruption in the enviroments of law enforcement and drug trade in an American metropolitan city such as Baltimore as presented in HBO's TV series 'The Wire'. The thesis' main aim is to search for instances of corruption in both environments with relation to social class, ethics, legality, integrity and other. Corruption as presented by the show gives momentum to the plot and can be percieved in more than one way. Corruption has different effect on different characters, whose motivation for the ways they behave is an important feature for the thesis to discuss. The corner stone for the analysis of the show for this thesis is its narrative strategy as well as the producers' background.

AN EFFICIENT MECHANISM FOR FAST RECOVERY IN CASE OF BORDER ROUTER NODE FAILURE IN A COMPUTER NETWORK

A technique protects traffic (IP) against the failure of a border router between two domains in a computer network using Fast Reroute and backup tunnels. The border router (i.e., the "protected border router") announces/advertises a list of all its adjacent next-hop routers (i.e., its "neighbors") residing in first and second domains interconnected by the protected border router. A neighbor in the first domain that is immediately upstream to the protected border router and that is configured to protect the border router (i.e., the "protecting router") learns address prefixes (i.e., "protected prefixes") reachable from the next-hop router in the second domain (i.e., "next-next-hops," NNHOPs to the protected prefixes from the protecting router). The protecting router calculates a backup tunnel to each NNHOP that excludes the protected border router, and associates each backup tunnel with protected prefixes accordingly. When the protected border router fails, Fast Reroute is triggered, and the protected prefixes are rerouted by the protecting router onto an appropriate backup tunnel to a corresponding is NNHOP.

Application of Pattern Mixture Models to Address Missing Data in Longitudinal Data Analysis Using SPSS

Longitudinal studies are used in nursing research to examine changes over time in health indicators. Traditional approaches to longitudinal analysis of means, such as analysis of variance with repeated measures, are limited to analyzing complete cases. This limitation can lead to biased results due to withdrawal or data omission bias or to imputation of missing data, which can lead to bias toward the null if data are not missing completely at random. Pattern mixture models are useful to evaluate the informativeness of missing data and to adjust linear mixed model (LMM) analyses if missing data are informative.The aim of this study was to provide an example of statistical procedures for applying a pattern mixture model to evaluate the informativeness of missing data and conduct analyses of data with informative missingness in longitudinal studies using SPSS.The data set from the Patients' and Families' Psychological Response to Home Automated External Defibrillator Trial was used as an example to examine informativeness of missing data with pattern mixture models and to use a missing data pattern in analysis of longitudinal data.Prevention of withdrawal bias, omitted data bias, and bias toward the null in longitudinal LMMs requires the assessment of the informativeness of the occurrence of missing data.Missing data patterns can be incorporated as fixed effects into LMMs to evaluate the contribution of the presence of informative missingness to and control for the effects of missingness on outcomes. Pattern mixture models are a useful method to address the presence and effect of informative missingness in longitudinal studies.
