Adaptive Control in CNC Sheet Metal Processing

Three different and complementary ways of adaptive control are presented, each working on a different time scale. All three of them are made possible due to evolutions and developments in CNC controls. The first and most popular way of adaptive control is adaptive process control. Since the process variables in sheet metal equipment change significantly in milliseconds, the control loop must also perform on a sub second time scale. The second adaptive loop is adaptive production control. Modern CNC controls know what they are manufacturing and talk with higher production software. Instead of just executing a planning that came top down, the CNC has enough knowledge of its environment that it can propose an intelligent job sequence and hence react more effectively on unforeseen situations. These adaptive loops perform on a time scale of hours and days. The third adaptive loop is adaptive resource control. To produce sheet metal parts, we need several kinds of resources: human resources, material, consumables, energy and equipment. CNC sheet metal equipment is a considerable investment. However most production managers do not know how effective their resources are being used. By applying the principles of overall equipment effectiveness, we can close the resource control loop. This loop performs on a time scale of weeks and months.

Towards a more automated and optimised maintenance, renewal and upgrade of roads by means of robotised technologies and intelligent decision support tools

The objective of OMICRON is to develop an Intelligent Asset Management Platform with a broad portfolio of area-specific innovative technologies to enhance the construction, maintenance, renewal and upgrade of the European road network. This project will improve the whole  asset management pipeline focusing on four pillars: the implementation digital inspection technologies; the development of a road Digital Twin; the construction of a Decision Support Tool; and the development of smart construction and intervention solutions for road infrastructures. OMICRON’s Intelligent Platform will be interconnected by a BIM-oriented Digital Twin linked to the Decision Support Tool, which will enable the industrialisation and automation of a number of road management tasks which currently still have a high labour component. OMICRON’s developments will address the entire road network system including pavement, bridges, tunnels, lighting or signalling systems.
These improvements will result in a) an increase of the safety levels in road intervention actions, affecting both road users and personnel; b) an increase in the capacity of the road network; c) an overall improvement of the efficiency of road intervention processes; and d) a subsequent reduction of maintenance costs.
The group of technologies developed in the project will be implemented in a virtual demo and four real demonstrators that belong to CEF corridors from two European countries: Spain and Italy. The technologies developed in OMICRON will achieve a TRL 7 after the demonstration phase. 
The consortium is formed by 16 partners from 7 EU countries, including road managers and associations; emergency, routine and extraordinary maintenance contractors; civil engineering companies; smart solution developers; drones and robotics experts; research centres; universities; ICT developers and integrators; communication and dissemination managers; business model managers and innovation and project managers.
Cd40 goes innate: defining and targeting cd40 signaling intermediates in the macrophage to treat atherosclerosis

Atherosclerosis, the underlying cause of the majority of cardiovascular diseases (CVD), is a lipid driven, inflammatory disease of the large arteries. Despite a 25% relative risk reduction achieved by lipid-lowering treatment, the vast majority of atherosclerosis-induced CVD risk remains unaddressed.  Therefore, characterizing mediators of the inflammatory aspect of atherosclerosis is a widely recognized scientific goal with great therapeutic implications.
Co-stimulatory molecules are key players in modulating immune interactions. My laboratory has defined the co-stimulatory CD40-CD40L dyad as a major driver of atherosclerosis. Inhibition of CD40, and of its interaction with the adaptor molecule TRAF6 by genetic deficiency, antibody treatment or (nanoparticle based) small molecule inhibitor (SMI) treatment, is one of the most powerful therapies to reduce atherosclerosis in a laboratory setting. Although CD40-CD40L interactions are associated with adaptive immunity, I recently identified the macrophage as a driver of CD40-induced inflammation in atherosclerosis. We will use state-of-the-art in vitro experiments, live cell-, super resolution imaging, proteomics approaches and mutant mouse models to unravel the role of macrophage CD40 in atherosclerosis. Moreover, using structure based virtual ligand screening, I will develop lead SMIs targeting macrophage CD40-signaling, which I will deliver using macrophage-targeting nanoparticles. My goal is to define the role of macrophage CD40 in inflammation and immunity and disentangle how its activation affects atherosclerosis. I will finally test the feasibility of targeting macrophage CD40-signaling as a treatment for CVD.
These studies will define the role of CD40-signaling in the innate immune system in health and (cardiovascular) disease. As components of macrophage CD40-signaling have the potential to be amenable to pharmacological manipulation, we will establish their feasibility as novel targets for (CVD) treatment.
Site-Specific Management Zones Delineation Based on Apparent Soil Electrical Conductivity in Two Contrasting Fields of Southern Brazil

Management practices that aim to increase the profitability of agricultural production with minimal environmental impact must consider within-field soil variability, and this site-specific management can be addressed by precision agriculture (PA). Thus, this work aimed to investigate which key soil attributes are distinguishable management zones (MZ) delineated based on the soil apparent electrical conductivity (ECa), using fuzzy k-means, in two fields with contrasting soil textures in southern Brazil. For this, a grid scheme (50 × 50 m) was applied to measure ECa, conduct soil sampling for analysis, and determine soybean yield. The MZ were delineated based on the ECa spatial distribution, and statistical non-parametric tests (p &lt; 0.05) were employed to compare the soil chemical and physical attributes among MZ. The management zones were able to distinguish the average values of Clay, Silt, pH, Ca2+, Mg2+, SB, Al3+, H+ + Al3+, AS%, and BS%. In the field classified as sandy clay loam texture, management zones were able to differentiate the average values of soybean yield, Clay, Ca2+, Mg2+, SB, and CEC. Thus, this study supports the ECa as an efficient tool for delineating MZ of contrasting cropland soils in southern Brazil to understand the within-field soil variability and adjust the inputs according.
COMBUSTION CHAMBER END WALL WITH VENTILATION

The invention relates to the field of combustion chambers for aviation turbomachines. It relates to a combustion chamber having a chamber end wall that presents a plurality of air and fuel injector devices, each of the devices comprising a bowl and a deflector mounted on a main axis forming a heat shield disposed around the bowl which flares in the gas flow direction and possesses an annular portion, the interface between the bowl and the deflector being situated on this annular portion, at least a portion of said interface being situated towards the end of the annular portion that is downstream in the gas flow direction, such that an annular cavity is defined between the deflector and the downstream annular portion of the interface. First bowl holes are formed in the annular portion to open out in register with the edge of the chamber end wall that is in contact with the deflector in order to sustain a flow of air from upstream to downstream in the annular cavity.

Supporting Innovative Schemes in the MED Area

SISMA aims to develop innovative financing schemes that leverage European Structural Funds (and other public funds available to the regional or local administrations) on private financial resources to finance investment projects that lead to significant energy retrofits of public buildings. In particular the innovative schemes will aim at mobilizing private resources through ESCOs to finance investments with longer paybacks (max 10 years) in energy retrofit of public buildings. Viable and sustainable innovative financing schemes for energy investments with long term payback are necessary in order to abridge the barriers that hinder the business which is traditionally characterized by:a)ESCOs keep on following the “low hanging fruit” approach, focusing only on quick results;b)Public Administrations will keep on using ERDF in the “traditional way”, without taking fully advantage of the leverage factor to mobilize private financing through innovative contracts as EPC, since in the past this approach has been unsuccessful for energy investments with long term payback. Each member state will focus on a specific category of public buildings (office buildings, schools, gyms ...) in close coordination with all the partners. Outlined Schemes, with a particular focus on the ones leveraging the European Structural Funds, can be well replicated anywhere in the EU and will form the backbone on which to articulate the future demands of Development Assistance Projects.

Weighing the ocean: Using a single mooring to measure changes in the mass of the ocean

[1] Combining ocean and earth models, we show that there is a region in the central Pacific ocean where ocean bottom pressure is a direct measure of interannual changes in ocean mass, with a noise level for annual means below 3 mm water equivalent, and a trend error below 1 mm/yr. We demonstrate this concept using existing ocean bottom pressure measurements from the region, from which we extract the annual cycle of ocean mass (amplitude 8.5 mm, peaking in late September), which is in agreement with previous determinations based on complex combinations of global data sets. This method sidesteps a number of limitations in satellite gravity-based calculations, but its direct implementation is currently limited by the precision of pressure sensors, which suffer from significant drift. Development of a low-drift method to measure ocean bottom pressure at a few sites could provide an important geodetic constraint on the earth system. Citation: Hughes, C. W., M. E. Tamisiea, R. J.

Issues and considerations in the use of serologic biomarkers for classifying vaccination history in household surveys

Accurate estimates of vaccination coverage are crucial for assessing routine immunization program performance. Community based household surveys are frequently used to assess coverage within a country. In household surveys to assess routine immunization coverage, a child's vaccination history is classified on the basis of observation of the immunization card, parental recall of receipt of vaccination, or both; each of these methods has been shown to commonly be inaccurate. The use of serologic data as a biomarker of vaccination history is a potential additional approach to improve accuracy in classifying vaccination history. However, potential challenges, including the accuracy of serologic methods in classifying vaccination history, varying vaccine types and dosing schedules, and logistical and financial implications must be considered. We provide historic and scientific context for the potential use of serologic data to assess vaccination history and discuss in detail key areas of importance for consideration in the context of using serologic data for classifying vaccination history in household surveys. Further studies are needed to directly evaluate the performance of serologic data compared with use of immunization cards or parental recall for classification of vaccination history in household surveys, as well assess the impact of age at the time of sample collection on serologic titers, the predictive value of serology to identify a fully vaccinated child for multi-dose vaccines, and the cost impact and logistical issues on outcomes associated with different types of biological samples for serologic testing.

Selective electrocatalytic co2 reduction to oxalic acid

This project is about computer modeling of the electrocatalytic CO2 reduction to oxalic acid in ionic liquids. My objectives are (1) defining the selectivity criteria, (2) developing original double-site model, and (3) significant improvement of the computational method. I will start with the computational method developed in the host group and then augment the approach basing on my vast experience in modeling ionic liquid at interfaces. I also propose an original double-site catalyst model to optimize electronic, geometric, and entropy factors against the defined criteria for higher catalytic activity. The model essentially represents a slit pore with two metal–nitrogen–carbon sites that, together with the ionic liquid, have a stabilizing effect on CO2⁻ intermediate and a catalytic effect on the C–C bond formation leading to the desired product.
This fellowship will help me reach my short-term career goal – establishing a group (PI, 2 ER, and 4 PhD) and obtaining National funding to continue the research on CO2 reduction. I will complete the project within 1.5 years under the supervision of prof Rossmeisl at Copenhagen University. Rossmeisl's group is currently leading the computer modeling of electrocatalytic reactions, including CO2 reduction. Herewith, I have unique expertise, outside from electrocatalysis, needed to implement the project.

EconomicEducational Territorial - Structure

The project ET struct responds to the general lack of coherence between the connection of the educational system to the leading edge of technology and business practices, being one part of the Lisbon employment agenda. Here, there is often a lack of an effective matching process across the interfaces of policy-making, economy and education. Within the labor market, the participating regions are facing three types of problems that are going to be addressed by the transnational cooperation tools: brain drain of young and well-educated people, increasing migrant workforce penetrating the labor markets and weak links between secondary education and changing demands of the labor market._x000D_
The partnership will concentrate its efforts on the triple helical link by setting up of a permanent territorial management structures ET-Management, which should link the relevant policy, economic and educational partners/stakeholders as well as to match and optimise work force qualifications with the needs of regional economies in an innovative, ongoing, dynamic, flexible, systemic process. These permanent triple helical territorial structures will be linked at transnational level in a meta-structure (ET-Joint-Management).

Comparative performance analysis of UPQC and Open UPQC

In recent days, the quality of power has become more important to the most of the customer load. The unified power quality conditioner (UPQC) is the ultimate solution to provide the quality of power irrespective of the type of power quality problems. The UPQC can improve the quality of power for all end users, but it will not provide the power quality at different demand levels. Another topology Open UPQC being more flexible for field application as the power quality is determined by the electricity bills of the users. In this paper, the both the topologies are developed in the MATLAB Simulink environment and analysed the performance with non-linear loads and different types of voltage sags in the system.
