Re-Deployable solar boilers based on concentrating solar collecotors for esco type sale of thermal energy to industrial processes.

Our SME project addresses the vast and under-served market for solar process heat, defined as the provision of solar-generated heat to industrial thermal processes up to 250°C. 
This market is worth more than 26 billion €/year, with a current penetration rate of traditional solar thermal technologies of less than 0.02%.
Our business idea eliminates any risk for the end user thanks to a first-of-its-kind business model which can be implemented only by exploiting our company’s unique set of achieved and planned technical developments on concentrated solar thermal systems.
We will develop cost competitive re-deployable solar boilers, i.e. turn-key and easy-to-install concentrating solar thermal systems of at least 1MWt which can be used to sell heat (as opposed to equipment) to our target customers. Industrial users rarely want to commit to long term heat purchase contracts. Re-deployability and competitive cost enable us to offer minimal initial commitment (only 3 years) for the purchase of solar heat. Afterwards, if the client is happy he will continue to buy the energy, otherwise we can take the system back and re-deploy it (i.e. use it again at a different user’s site). This highly innovative commercial approach, made possible by the technological breakthrough of the system’s re-deployability, will boost market penetration.
We will demonstrate the soundness of the proposed business concept by implementing - at real industrial sites in target geographic segments - two distinct pilot installations of approx. 2’500 m2 of net collecting surface (i.e. more than 1MWt) each, one with Fresnel and one with parabolic collectors.
Market replication will be pursued by means of active communication to other potential users, and also to institutional and financial stakeholders. These communications will be used to expand Soltigua’s reach in its 7 already identified target market segments and will generate useful input to the finalisation of our investor-ready business plan.
VIA ALPINA: promoting the natural and cultural heritage of the Alps on a network of hiking trails

The project consists in establishing Via Alpina as the first identified hiking route linking the eight Alpine countries: Italy, Austria, France, Switzerland, Germany, Slovenia, Liechtenstein and Monaco. The trail network links sites of high natural and cultural value throughout the Alps and emphasises the common Alpine identity. Multilingual tools are developed to insure its efficient promotion and provide the international public with an entry to each of the Alpine regions. Pilot projects are carried out to look into possible developments of sustainable tourism offers and trail management with a trans-national perspective. Via Alpina is a powerful instrument for sustainable development of the mountain regions, both as a tourism product with local economic impact and as a prestigious showcase for the Alpine environment.
Немецкие тексты Майстера Экхарта в сочинении Иоанна Венка de ignota litteratura как источник аргументов против учения Николая Кузанского о coincidentia oppositorum

In work De ignota litteratura polemicizing with De docta ignorantia, John Wenck of Herrenberg, a professor of theology at the university of Heidelberg, cites three excerpts from three German works of Meister Eckhart: Liber benedictus and German sermons 2 and 6. Comparing the cited passages from these Eckhart’s texts used in the treatise by John Wenck with a Latin version of the German sermon Intravit Iesus in quoddam castellum, the author of this paper comes to conclusion that the whole point of John Wenck’s polemics with Nicolas of Cusa lies ultimately in dealing with formulations and ideas from the German texts of Meister Eckhart. Cusanus, who surely knew German Eckhartian and pseudo-Eckhartian tradition, would not surprisingly like remember and analyze them in De docta ignorantia and Apologia doctae ignorantiae. Unfortunately, Wenck doesn’t hesitate not to forget these controversial texts condemned in the bulla In agro dominico and by the theologians at the university of Heidelberg in 1430. In his critics on Nicolas of Cusa he can fi nd no better parallel to the doctrines of docta ignorantia and coincidentia oppositorum of Cusanus than the teachings on the detachment, the birth of God in the intimate depths of the human soul, and the unity of the soul with Godhead advocated by the German Dominican friar Meister Eckhart. Th e main object of the critics in De ignota litteratura was not only Cusanus and his theories of docta ignorantia and coincidentia oppositorum, but also an attempt to rehabilitate some teachings of Meister Eckhart in the Latin translations of his German sermons made during the Late Middle Ages.
Chimpanzees and bonobos exhibit divergent spatial memory development

Spatial cognition and memory are critical cognitive skills underlying foraging behaviors for all primates. While the emergence of these skills has been the focus of much research on human children, little is known about ontogenetic patterns shaping spatial cognition in other species. Comparative developmental studies of nonhuman apes can illuminate which aspects of human spatial development are shared with other primates, versus which aspects are unique to our lineage. Here we present three studies examining spatial memory development in our closest living relatives, chimpanzees (Pan troglodytes) and bonobos (P. paniscus). We first compared memory in a naturalistic foraging task where apes had to recall the location of resources hidden in a large outdoor enclosure with a variety of landmarks (Studies 1 and 2). We then compared older apes using a matched memory choice paradigm (Study 3). We found that chimpanzees exhibited more accurate spatial memory than bonobos across contexts, supporting predictions from these species' different feeding ecologies. Furthermore, chimpanzees - but not bonobos - showed developmental improvements in spatial memory, indicating that bonobos exhibit cognitive paedomorphism (delays in developmental timing) in their spatial abilities relative to chimpanzees. Together, these results indicate that the development of spatial memory may differ even between closely related species. Moreover, changes in the spatial domain can emerge during nonhuman ape ontogeny, much like some changes seen in human children.
Strengthening the web entrepreneurship ecosystem in europe for young people by creating a pan-european network of actively engaged student networks and student entrepreneurship centres

MY-WAY aims at enhancing and improving the collaboration and efforts of web entrepreneurship initiatives (hubs, projects, accelerator networks, contests, etc.), web/business experts (accelerators, mentors, etc.), educational actors (business teachers and trainers) and the young adults as the final beneficiaries (through student networks, their alumni and student entrepreneurship centres, the student support centres). This coordination will create synergies and find ways to embed flexible services based on the existing best practices to be sustained by the student support centres in any European country at low cost. The social network of young adults across Europe will enable a wide spread of information, discovery of synergies and linkages between the actors and their services.
The active engagement of student support centres and connecting them with business networks within the web entrepreneurship ecosystem and its activities, e.g. the development of the support services (training, mentoring, access to funding, regulation, policy, etc.) will strengthen the ecosystem and will also increase the visibility and impact of the web entrepreneurship initiatives and services. A network of student support centres will act as multipliers and successfully represent the targeted young adults boosting web entrepreneurship in the long term. Primary, secondary as well as emerging web entrepreneurship hubs will be involved across Europe into the project activities. The project partnership contains representatives from across the support chain for web entrepreneurs with adequate expertise and network infrastructure to successfully engage the critical mass of stakeholders. The project will implement support actions boosting the entrepreneurial spirit, especially changing the mindset, confidence and readiness of young people for starting their own business. Special attention will be paid to female web entrepreneurship and social web entrepreneurship support.
A constrained recursive least squares algorithm for adaptive combination of multiple models

In this paper, we develop a novel constrained recursive least squares algorithm for adaptively combining a set of given multiple models. With data available in an online fashion, the linear combination coefficients of submodels are adapted via the proposed algorithm.We propose to minimize the mean square error with a forgetting factor, and apply the sum to one constraint to the combination parameters. Moreover an l 1 -norm constraint to the combination parameters is also applied with the aim to achieve sparsity of multiple models so that only a subset of models may be selected into the final model. Then a weighted l 2 -norm is applied as an approximation to the l 1 -norm term. As such at each time step, a closed solution of the model combination parameters is available. The contribution of this paper is to derive the proposed constrained recursive least squares algorithm that is computational efficient by exploiting matrix theory. The effectiveness of the approach has been demonstrated using both simulated and real time series examples.
Effect of a liposomal spray on the pre-ocular tear film

With the potential to address evaporative dry eye, a novel spray has been developed in which phospholipid liposomes are delivered to the tear film via the surface of the closed eyelid. This study evaluated the short-term effects of liposomal spray application on the lipid and stability characteristics of the pre-ocular tear film in normal eyes.Twenty-two subjects (12M, 10F) aged 35.1+/-7.1 years participated in this prospective, randomised, double-masked investigation in which the liposomal spray was applied to one eye, and an equal volume of saline spray (control) applied to the contralateral eye. Lipid layer grade (LLG), non-invasive tear film stability (NIBUT) and tear meniscus height (TMH) were evaluated at baseline, and at 30, 60, 90 and 135min post-application. Subjective reports of comfort were also compared.Treated and control eyes were not significantly different at baseline (p>0.05). Post-application, LLG increased significantly, at 30 and 60min, only in the treated eyes (p=0.005). NIBUT also increased significantly in the treated eyes only (p<0.001), at 30, 60 and 90min. TMH did not alter significantly (p>0.05). Comfort improved relative to baseline in 46% of treated and 18% of control eyes, at 30min post-application. Of those expressing a preference in comfort between the eyes, 68% preferred the liposomal spray.Consistent with subjective reports of improved comfort, statistically and clinically significant improvements in lipid layer thickness and tear film stability are observed in normal eyes for > or =1h after a single application of a phospholipid liposomal spray.
Les identités migrantes d’Édouard Glissant et Carlos Fuentes à travers les frontières hybrides de l’Amérique du sud

La frontière est un lieu interstitiel d’entremêlement de cultures, langues et identités. Que les migrants franchissent les confins ou qu’ils demeurent dans les villes de frontière, ils entrent en relation les uns avec les autres sur un terrain qui s’alimente de ce croisement devenant terre de rencontres et de conflits, terre d’hybridation et de perpétuel changement.Édouard Glissant et Carlos Fuentes, le premier antillais, le deuxième mexicain, ont étudié et présenté au monde la réalité complexe des frontières de leurs pays d’origine. Cet article veut proposer une analyse comparative de ceux deux identités errantes qui ont vécu et explorer des confins particulièrement compliqués à cause de leur passé de colonialisme et esclavagisme qui a engendré de sérieuses conséquences socio-économiques encore actuelles.Les deux auteurs ont le grand mérite d’avoir franchi toute frontière et d’avoir porté l’attention internationale sur leurs frontières et sur leurs peuples de frontière.
Surgical Fixation Hardware for Regeneration of Long Bone Segmental Defects: Translating Large Animal Model and Human Experiences

Orthopedic fracture surgery has made significant advances in recent years, but large segmental bone defects remain a significant clinical problem. While surgical techniques have been developed or modified to address these issues, challenges remain. Further, to effectively address this issue, a suitable path from the benchtop to the clinic must be established. This is most commonly done using large animal models, which provide the opportunity to test different treatment options. This is certainly more complicated than it appears, as various anatomic and physiologic differences can produce complications not normally seen in humans. For this reason, proper species and bone selection is critically important. Here we review the current experimental methods, types of internal and external fixation, and large animal models used in segmental bone defect studies conducted in weight-bearing long bones. This review will also provide insight into the efficacy of hardware fixation strategies and the translatability of said strategies into clinical practice.
Spermatological characteristics of Elstia stossichianum (Digenea, Mesometridae) from the intestine of the cow bream (Sarpa salpa) off Dakar, Senegal

Abstract The current study was designed to increase the spermatological ultrastructural database on Digenea, thus contributing to the future establishment of phylogenetic relationships within this group based on ultrastructural characteristics of both spermiogenesis and spermatozoa. Spermiogenesis in Elstia stossichianum begins with the formation of a differentiation zone containing two centrioles, two striated rootlets, a nucleus, several mitochondria and an intercentriolar body constituted by seven electron-dense layers. Each centriole develops into a free flagellum growing orthogonally to the median cytoplasmic process. Proximo-distal fusion of the flagella with the median cytoplasmic process occurs after flagellar rotation. Both nucleus and mitochondria migrate before the complete proximo-distal fusion of both flagella with the median cytoplasmic process. Finally, the constriction of the ring of arched membranes gives rise to the young spermatozoon. The mature spermatozoon of E. stossichianum exhibits two axonemes of different length of the 9+‘1’ trepaxonematan pattern, a nucleus, a mitochondrion, two bundles of parallel cortical microtubules, external ornamentation of the plasma membrane, a lateral expansion, spine-like bodies, cytoplasmic ornamented buttons and granules of glycogen. The formation of cytoplasmic ornamented buttons during the final stages of spermiogenesis is reported here for the first time.

Predictors of adoption of zero-tillage system by farmers for risk adjustment in saline ecosystem: A discriminant analysis

Increasing incidence of soil and water salinity has become a serious threat to crop production and livelihood security of farmers. The study was conducted in saline ecosystem of Mewat district of Haryana, where zero-tillage system in wheat could be used for risk adjustment. The study was conducted with survey of randomly selected 60 adopter and 60 non-adopter farmers with help of interview schedule. The adopters and non-adopters of zero-tillage technology in wheat differed significantly with respect to knowledge about the technology. The important predictors for adopters of zero-tillage technology in saline eco-system were identified as perceived ease of application of technology, perceived usefulness, risk orientation and access to machinery.
Tailored chemical complexity through evolution-inspired synthetic biology

Creating true molecular complexity in a modular, combinatorial fashion is one of the great visions in applied enzymology and chemistry. Nature achieves this feat by using modular biosynthetic enzymes. These microbial proteins generate many of the most important natural products of therapeutic value, including antiinfective, anticancer, and immunosuppressive agents. To construct such compounds, each enzyme module incorporates and often modifies one building block in an assembly line-like process. Among the known modular enzymes, the recently discovered trans-acyltransferase polyketide synthases (trans-AT PKSs) exhibit an unparalleled biosynthetic diversity and tendency to form extensively mosaic-like hybrid enzymes during evolution. As a consequence, many bioactive polyketides generated by these enzymes exhibit combinatorial-like hybrid structures. This phenomenon provides unprecedented opportunities to understand the evolution of metabolic complexity and to apply these principles to metabolic engineering through parts-based synthetic biology. SynPlex will use a novel hypothesis-driven, multi-faceted strategy to interrogate and utilize the distinct combinatorial properties and metabolic richness of trans-AT PKSs. This multidisciplinary project aims to (i) unravel principles of how mosaic PKSs and their metabolites are formed in Nature, (ii) characterize non-canonical PKS components, (iii) create a toolbox of PKS parts for synthetic biology based on these evolutionary and biochemical principles, and (iv) harness the combinatorial potential of trans-AT systems to access complex natural as well as non-natural products. This innovative concept that merges evolutionary biology, enzymology, synthetic biology, and chemistry will result in a broad understanding of these most complex of all known proteins. It has the potential to provide generic, robust synthetic biology platforms to engineer complex polyketides with a wide range of features in a predictable way.
Automatic Fire Initiated Braking and Alert System for Trains

By every new day alternative technologies are being developed which in turn are helping to increase the speed of trains. Indian Railways aims to increase the speed of its passenger trains to 140 -- 180 km/h on conventional tracks. Thus it can be seen from the trending aspects of railways that they are primarily focusing on increasing the speed rather than the SAFETY of the passengers. The primary focus should be the safety of passengers. Generally it is seen that when a train compartment catches fire due to any reason it's not easy to detect the fire initially and react to it. Due to which train does not stop instantly, which results in casualties and heavy damage to train. The objective of this paper is to design an Automatic Fire initiated braking and alert system for trains. This system consists a micro controller, motor, fire and smoke sensor, alarm, and alert system. This paper proposes an embedded system that will be used to alert people so that life as well as the damage can be minimized. If the train coach catches fire, the smoke sensor will sense it and send a signal to the micro controller. This micro controller activates the motor to pull the chain and also activates an emergency alert system which sends an alert message to the train driver and guard room and activates the alarm. If the chain system to stop the train does not work properly, then even in that case, this system is very effective. So this system is useful to protect precious lives of passengers and minimize the heavy damages due to the fire accidents.
