Out-Of-Equilibrium entangled many-body systems

The quest for a complete understanding of out-of-equilibrium behaviors in entangled many-body systems is a fundamental challenge in contemporary physics. In contrast with equilibrium, where several effective approaches (based on low-energy approximations) are available, there is no effective framework to describe out-of-equilibrium phenomena yet. One has then to rely only on numerical methods, such as the time-dependent Density Matrix Renormalization Group (tDMRG).
In this context, the goal of the project is to clarify fundamental aspects of out-of-equilibrium physics in strongly-entangled systems, both in one and in two dimensions. The proposed research pursues a very interdisciplinary approach, by combining state-of-the-art entanglement-based numerical tools, as well as exactly-solvable models. Specifically, in one dimension the project aims at developing a better numerical and analytical framework to: i) simulate the full out-of-equilibrium dynamics in integrable models, merging Monte Carlo and Bethe ansatz techniques; ii) understand the out-of-equilibrium behavior of many-body continuous systems, employing the framework of tensor network techniques (continuous matrix product states); iii) understand the interplay between disorder and integrability in many-body localized phases of matter. Finally, in two dimensions the aim of the project is to characterize the out-of-equilibrium signatures of topological order in quantum spin liquids, with special attention to the comparison with recent experimental results.

An apparatus and method for calculating the total instantaneous frictional torque in an operating internal combustion engine. The apparatus includes a central processing unit which receives inputs from a first sensor which measures the angular velocity of the engine and a second sensor which measures the gas pressure within a cylinder of the engine. The central processing unit executes a stored program which operates on the outputs from the first and second sensors, the known instantaneous inertia torques of the rotating and reciprocating masses of the engine and the instantaneous torque of the load on the engine and generates an output to an indicator to provide an indication of the total instantaneous frictional torque in the engine.
OUTPUT SHAFT SEALING STRUCTURE FOR TRANSMISSION AND TRANSMISSION

The utility model relates to an output shaft sealing structure for a transmission and the transmission. An output shaft is supported on a transmission casing through a bearing, the end of the output shaft is sleeved with a flange part and provided with a pressing plate for fixing the flange part to the end of the output shaft, and one side of the pressing plate facing the output shaft is provided with a seal ring surrounding the output shaft and is further provided with a tightening screw which penetrates a through hole in the pressing plate to be screwed into a connecting hole of the output shaft. The tightening screw is provided with a non-meshing section which is not meshed with the connecting hole through a thread and a meshing section which is meshed with the connecting hole through a thread, and the length of the non-meshing section of the tightening screw is larger than that of the meshing section
Evidence of sperm removal behaviour in an externally fertilizing species and compensatory behaviour for the risk of self-sperm removal

The removal of rival sperm from a female's sperm storage organ acts as a strong sperm competition avoidance mechanism, which has been reported only in internally fertilizing species and not at all in externally fertilizing species. This study demonstrated for the first time that nest-holding males of Bathygobius fuscus, an externally fertilizing marine fish, remove the sperm of rival sneaker males from the spawning nest by exhibiting tail-fanning behaviour within the nest. Males showed tail-fanning behaviour when semen was artificially injected into the nest but not when seawater was injected, and in open nests this behaviour resulted in higher paternity rates for the focal male. The sperm removal behaviour entails the risk of removing their own sperm; therefore, additional sperm release behaviour is likely necessary to benefit from the sperm removal effect. Consistent with this, males increased post-fanning sperm release behaviour more in the semen than in the seawater injection treatment. Moreover, males who had removed sperm for a longer time spent more time releasing sperm after the removal, suggesting that the additional sperm release behaviour compensated for the loss of their own sperm. These results suggest that sperm removal behaviour is not restricted to internally fertilizing organisms and deserves further investigation in this and other species.
Wall insulation novel nanomaterials efficient systems

Wall-ACE will develop a consistent package of new advanced sustainable insulation products and systems. The HONEST (High performance Optimized Nanomaterial Energy efficient SysTem) package is a “modular toolbox system” providing a set of complementary solutions that will address most of the complex challenges raised by thermal renovation as well as new construction.
The HONEST package includes: insulating thermal coating-finishing with low emissivity, internal high performance insulating plaster, insulating interior patching filler, external high performance insulating render, and insulation clay bricks. These products/systems will provide top insulation performance as well as improved comfort, indoor air quality, fire safety, durability and sustainability. 
These highly efficient products are achieved through the synergy between the different members of the consortium through combining the high performance, sustainable, and advanced nanotechnology of the silica aerogel, with existing, already approved, efficient products. The aerogel materials structure properties and cost will be optimised. The process of the five high efficient mineral insulation systems will be scaled-up to test replicability, processability and reach industrial scale. Then, these five systems will be fully characterised including an LCA assessment, along with certification and standardization activities.
In addition, the project sets a major focus on the “go to market” validation of the five products. Business planning and a field market test will be carried out, along with performance assessments on real buildings, and training and communication tools design, in order to maximize use potentials and foster a wide replication throughout Europe
The products from the Wall-ACE project are key enablers to energy and CO2 emissions savings at European level. They will strengthen the industrial leadership and competitiveness of Europe in the construction sector on a global level.

Modern retail trade: An exploratory study

Today retail trade has been divided into three categories Modern trade, General Trade and HORECA. FMCG industry recruiting sales force in the same pattern right from National level to bottom line or front line. Retail industry has been categorized as FMCG, FMCD etc, till 2000 most of the companies were entrusting these sales activities to their general trade executives/supervisors to look after purchase orders from retail or wholesale shops and supermarkets as well. Due to liberalization policies or economic reforms more multinational retail and wholesale companies like Care-4, Metro Cash and Carry etc, many more companies entered Indian retail market through joint venture. By entry of these companies the retail trend has been changed and some of the big Indian business tycoons like TATA, RELIANCE, BIRLA and many more entered into retail trade. Along with tier 1 business tycoons so many tier 2 and 3 business houses also enter into the race. This trend was not stopped here, there are so many regional players also enter into foray also this trend extended up to semi urban towns and rural as well.
Anesthesia Preoperative Clinic Referral for Elevated Hba1c Reduces Complication Rate in Diabetic Patients Undergoing Total Joint Arthroplasty

Diabetes mellitus (DM) is risk factor for complications after orthopedic surgery.We tested the hypothesis that anesthesia preoperative clinic (APC) referral for elevated glycosylated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reduces complication rate after total joint arthroplasty (TJA).Patients (n = 203) with and without DM were chosen from 1,237 patients undergoing TJA during 2006 - 12. Patients evaluated in the APC had surgery in 2006 - 8 regardless of HbA1c (uncontrolled). Those evaluated between in subsequent two-year intervals were referred to primary care for HbA1c ≥ 10% and ≥ 8%, respectively, to improve DM control before surgery. Complications and mortality were quantified postoperatively and at three, six, and twelve months. Length of stay (LOS) and patients requiring a prolonged LOS (> 5 days) were recorded.Patients (197 men, 6 women) underwent 71, 131, and 1 total hip, knee, and shoulder replacements, respectively. Patients undergoing TJA with uncontrolled HbA1c and those with HbA1c < 10%, but not those with HbA1c < 8%, had a higher incidence of coronary disease and hypercholesterolemia than patients without DM. An increase in complication rate was observed in DM patients with uncontrolled HbA1c versus patients without DM (P < 0.001); the complication rate progressively decreased with tighter HbA1c control. More DM patients with preoperative HbA1c that was uncontrolled or ≥ 10% required prolonged LOS versus those without DM (P < 0.001 and P = 0.0404, respectively).APC referral for elevated HbA1c reduces complication rate and the incidence of prolonged hospitalization during the first year after surgery in diabetics undergoing TJA.

Using virtual reality to support substance use disorder treatment in people with an intellectual disability

This master thesis serves as the first phase of a larger project where a virtual reality product is developed to support the substance use disorder treatment in people with an intellectual disability. In this thesis the current knowledge regarding both substance use disorders and the adapted treatment for this particular group is summarized. After this, stakeholders in this project are identified and interviewed to gather requirements. With these requirements an iterative process of designing, developing and evaluating prototypes is started. It is found that this target group can be easily overwhelmed and distracted and therefore requires a virtual reality product that can gradually increase in complexity. This increase in complexity is implemented in both the realism of the virtual environments as well as the interaction with this environment in the second prototype. As this research is the first explorative step in a larger project to develop a complete virtual reality product, the findings and suggestions that relate to next phases of this project are discussed. It is found that the experienced realism of virtual substances and environments is dependent on a personal factor and this sprouts the idea for developing a content management system. Another suggestion is to use speech system for virtual characters and have the content be determined by actions of the user. Other suggestions include extending the virtual environments to emotional triggers of substance use such as an argument with a partner and to investigate the real world effects of successfully using a virtual talisman in a virtual risk situation.

Identification of a New IgE-Binding Epitope of Peanut Oleosin That Cross-Reacts with Buckwheat

Peanut and buckwheat induce a severe allergic reaction, anaphylaxis, which is considered to be mediated by immunoglobulin E (IgE). We identified in this study a new IgE-binding epitope of the peanut allergen that cross-reacted with buckwheat. The phosphate-buffered saline-soluble fraction of buckwheat inhibited the binding between IgE and the peanut allergen. A cross-reactive peptide was isolated from the α-chymotrypsin hydrolysate of peanut. Based on the amino acid sequence and mass spectrometric analysis data, the peptide was identified as Ser-Asp-Gln-Thr-Arg-Thr-Gly-Tyr (SDQTRTGY); this sequence is identical to amino acids 2-9 in the N-terminal hydrophilic domain of oleosin 3 which is located on the surface of the lipid storage body. Synthetic SDQTRTGY was found to bind with IgE in the sera of all eight peanut-allergic patients tested. Since many foods of plant origin contain oleosin, the possibility of an anaphylactic cross-reaction in allergic patients should always be considered.
From microbial interactions to new-concept biopesticides and biofertilizers

The Directive 2009/128/EC sets rules in EU for the sustainable use of pesticides to reduce the risks and impacts of pesticide use on people's health and the environment. Among the listed actions there is the promotion of low pesticide-input management including non-chemical methods. In parallel several chemical active ingredients have been banned because of toxicity concerns. The result is that growers are left with few control tools against pests. On the other hand most of the available alternative control methods have several limitations, especially in term of efficacy. Several new ideas are not reaching the industry and are confined in the academic world. 
The concept behind this EIT is to explore new approaches to identify new cutting edge solutions for pest control based on new non classical approaches in strict collaboration with industrial partner and to train 11 highly skilled early stage researchers (ESR) through a doctoral programme that integrates 5 academic research with concept-driven product development in 6 EU companies with a strong curriculum in development and innovation within a large interdisciplinary environment. Microorganisms are often used so far as replacement of chemical active ingredients. 
The innovative aspect of this EID is to base the new pest control solutions on interactions of microorganisms with plants and insects rather than using them as plant protection products. Microorganisms’ unsurpassed inclination towards the association with eukaryotic macro-organisms determines traits and qualities in the host that harbours them. Microbial symbionts’ ability to profoundly transform their living habitat paves the way for unexplored outlooks in the ability to use microbial symbioses as sustainable and renewable tools to improve production and quality in agriculture. Microorganisms are key players in shaping several insect’s semiochemicals, in particular kairomones indicating a food source or oviposition site for some insect species.
Light effected autonomous molecular pumps: towards active transporters and actuating materials

The crucial role played by molecular motors in major biological processes gives a clue on the potential of these nanoscale devices for technology. Their exploitation depends on our ability to build working and robust artificial systems, and to interface them with their environment or other molecular constructs for using the motion to carry out tasks.

The goal of this project is to develop the first synthetic photochemical supramolecular pumps and to apply them for performing nanoscale transport functions and macroscopic actuation. The motor modules, which rely on a functioning and affordable minimalist design based on first principles and threaded topologies, operate autonomously away from equilibrium by using light as a clean energy source, can be switched on/off chemically, and are easy to make and functionalize. Appropriately designed motors will be embedded in the bilayer of vesicles to pump molecules across physically separated places, thereby photogenerating concentration gradients. In parallel we plan to arrange the pump modules in oligomeric tracks and investigate the autonomous, directional and processive displacement of a molecule over a few nm. These linear motors will be equipped with a cargo that can be loaded/unloaded with control, yielding the first man-made molecular transporters. Finally, we will integrate the pump components in polymeric scaffolds such that the photoinduced operation of the motors produces a non-equilibrium entanglement of the polymer chains, that can be eventually unravelled by chemical stimulation. Such materials may be used to convert, store, and reuse the energy of (sun)light upon demand.

All the above functionalities are unprecedented for wholly synthetic chemical structures. Their demonstration would be a landmark result in supramolecular chemistry and nanoscience, and open up radically new directions for nanotechnology, nanomedicine, and energy conversion.

Complément d’une Étude Sur L’accord de Nombre Nominal dans la Variété Urbaine du Portugais de São Tomé : Structures Prédicatives/Passives

PASSIVESL'accord de nombre (nominal et verbal) est l'un des sujets les plus discutés dans le contexte du Portugais Brésilien (ci-après PB), car non seulement c'est l'un des paramètres les plus emblématiques de la distinction entre les variétés européenne et brésilienne, mais aussi parce que, dans la dernière, il constitue une règle variable dans tous les parlers régionaux et sociaux.De plus, au Brésil, notamment en milieu urbain, le fait de ne pas faire l'accord de nombre est l'objet d'une évaluation négative de la part de certains locuteurs, qui le stigmatisent souvent car il apparaît plus fréquemment dans le discours d'individus de niveau d'éducation inférieur et/ou d'origine rurbaine ou rurale.
Comparing trading behaviour and profit composition in prediction markets

Prediction markets have established itself as forecasting technique, especially within the IT industry. While the majority of existing studies focuses either on the output of such markets or its design settings, the traders who actually produce the forecasts got only little attention yet. Within this work, we develop a classification scheme for traders of a prediction market that is grounded on both, financial and prediction market literature. Over a period of three years, 127 prediction markets have been observed and its 4.329 traders are separated into seven subgroups (beginners, noise traders, average traders, experts, donkey traders, market makers and superior traders), based on their knowledge, experience and selectivity. We find empirical evidence for the existence of these subgroups and thus for the heterogeneity among the traders. For each of these subgroups, we analyze the trading behaviour and the profit composition.
Prophylaxis Versus a Preemptive Approach for Invasive Aspergillosis

Difficulty in making an early diagnosis of invasive aspergillosis and consequent poor clinical outcome have led to prophylactic and preemptive management strategies in patients at high risk. Classic high-risk populations include patients with chemotherapy-induced prolonged neutropenia in the setting of acute leukemia and allogeneic hematopoietic stem cell recipients with graft-versus-host disease. Prophylactic mode involves antifungal administration throughout the “at risk” period to prevent infection; published studies with posaconazole and to a much lesser extent, itraconazole, are of promise. However, many drawbacks of these triazoles preclude their liberal use. A preemptive approach involves serial screening of patients with the fungal biomarker, serum Aspergillus galactomannan, to identify early infection; this strategy may be initiated at the onset of the high-risk period or when there are clinical features suggestive of infection. Limited data available with this strategy in the neutropenic population are somewhat encouraging. Clearly, more refined diagnostic tools, improved “quantification” of risk for invasive aspergillosis in different subsets of patients, and direct comparative studies of the two strategies in different settings are needed. At present, prophylaxis against invasive aspergillosis with mold-active azoles may be reserved for those at the highest risk; for those at intermediate risk, prophylaxis with a yeast-active drug combined with the preemptive screening strategy is prudent.
