From heat to cold with theac-25®, the thermo acoustic energy converter.

Due to climate change, space and process cooling is becoming the worldwide problem of the near future. With the raising of the average temperature, active air-conditioned cooling is needed throughout the year leading to high costs on electric power consumption (over 30% of the global electric power consumption in Europe, which means €27 billions), on maintenance for compressors as well as on the use of polluting refrigerants and its registration expenses. SOUNDENERGY BV introduces a breakthrough technology that brings a fundamental change in cooling buildings without using electricity or gas. Our company, based in The Netherlands, have a multidisciplinary team, with a well-known world leader researcher of Thermal Acoustics. Currently, we are developing the second generation of THEAC-25®converting heat into cold by using thermo acoustic technology. Our focus is to be able to provide climate control of buildings and industrial processes with zero CO2 emissions, saving 50% in energy consumption, which means between 5,000 - 20,000 kg of CO2 emissions/yearly reductions. The first version of THEAC-25® has been tested with some launching customers such as SENZORA BV. Pilot testing of the second generation of THEAC-25® with potential customers, will be contemplated as part of our commercialisation strategy. CE marking and FDA approval is sought to be able to commercialise on a global scale. SOUNDENERGY will follow a B2B approach to efficiently deliver climate cooling for industrial waste recovery as first target market (€600-700 M). Once we gain traction and market position we will focus on the space cooling for residential and non-residential buildings (€1.27B). We will be able to reach an addressable market size for waste heat recovery only in Europe of over €10M in 2021. Over 2,000 units of THEAC-25® and €40M sales projection has been estimated for the fourth year of commercialization (price €20k/per unit in Y4), with a ROI of 11.16
Scientific research support in developing sustainable transport in Romania

The aims of this study are to reveal the present level of scientific research in Romania, to identify the obstacles that have caused low support research and development for sustainable transport development in Romania, as well as, to bring into discussion the measures that have been suggested for improving the existing situation, particularly the production and use of biofuels which are considered an important chapter in greening of transport. The study investigated, first the targets, mechanisms and supporting tools for transport scientific research by comparing the situation in Romania with those in some other EU member states, as well as, provided an analysis of the intensity of scientific research in Romania and the requirements for improving the quality and volume of transport using 1990 as the reference year for changing of the national economic system before presenting a set of recommendations for improvement of the transport.
Detection of Antibiotic Resistance Genes in Source and Drinking Water Samples from a First Nations Community in Canada

ABSTRACT Access to safe drinking water is now recognized as a human right by the United Nations. In developed countries like Canada, access to clean water is generally not a matter of concern. However, one in every five First Nations reserves is under a drinking water advisory, often due to unacceptable microbiological quality. In this study, we analyzed source and potable water from a First Nations community for the presence of coliform bacteria as well as various antibiotic resistance genes. Samples, including those from drinking water sources, were found to be positive for various antibiotic resistance genes, namely, ampC , tet (A), mecA , β-lactamase genes (SHV-type, TEM-type, CTX-M-type, OXA-1, and CMY-2-type), and carbapenemase genes (KPC, IMP, VIM, NDM, GES, and OXA-48 genes). Not surprisingly, substantial numbers of total coliforms, including Escherichia coli , were recovered from these samples, and this result was also confirmed using Illumina sequencing of the 16S rRNA gene. These findings deserve further attention, as the presence of coliforms and antibiotic resistance genes potentially puts the health of the community members at risk. IMPORTANCE In this study, we highlight the poor microbiological quality of drinking water in a First Nations community in Canada. We examined the coliform load as well as the presence of antibiotic resistance genes in these samples. This study examined the presence of antibiotic-resistant genes in drinking water samples from a First Nations Community in Canada. We believe that our findings are of considerable significance, since the issue of poor water quality in First Nations communities in Canada is often ignored, and our findings will help shed some light on this important issue.
Importance and Characterization of Coffee Berry Disease (Colletotrichum kahawae) in Borena and Guji Zones, Southern Ethiopia

Coffee (Coffea arabica L.) is one of the most important cash crops in Ethiopia. Coffee Berry Disease (CBD) caused by Colletotrichum kahawae is the severe disease threatening coffee production in most coffee-growing regions of the country. Field survey was conducted in three major coffee growing districts (Abaya, Bule Hora and Kercha) of Borena and Guji zones during 2012 cropping season to determine the incidence, severity and prevalence of CBD. CBD was prevalent in all the surveyed districts with the overall mean incidence and severity of 49.3 and 14.7%, respectively. Laboratory experiment was conducted at Haramaya University to investigate the characteristics of C. kahawae and other fungal pathogens associated with coffee berries. The proportion frequencies of infected and non-infected coffee berries were ranged from 24-42 and 3-21%, respectively. C. kahawae, F. lateritium and Phoma spp. of fungal pathogens were isolated from infected coffee berries with the proportions of 89.2, 15.2 and 3%, respectively. In general, the study revealed high occurrence, distribution and contamination of CBD in the study areas. Therefore, more extensive empirical assessment of the amount of yield loss due to CBD on most grown varieties in the areas and developing or introducing resistant varieties need to have high priority for developing management options which may enhance sustainable coffee production in the country.
Cybergenetics: theory and design tools for biomolecular control systems

We propose to develop a new theory and design tools for the estimation and real-time control of living cells. The control systems designed using these tools will precisely and robustly steer the dynamic behavior of living cells in real time to achieve desired objectives.  Cells would be controlled either collectively at the population level, or individually as single cells. The control systems achieving this regulation will be realized either on a digital computer that is interfaced with living cells, or using de novo genetic circuits that are introduced into the cells where they are designed to function as molecular control systems. Our methods will explicitly confront the numerous challenges brought about by the special environment of the cell including nonlinearity, stochasticity, cell-to-cell variability, metabolic burden, etc. The theory and methods developed in this project will thus enable the systematic, rational, and effective feedback control of living cells at the gene level, and will lay the foundation for a new corresponding body of knowledge which we call ``Cybergenetics''.  It will also open new research directions in the areas of control theory and estimation.

We also propose to design three cybergenetic control systems, each addressing an important application in biotechnology or therapeutics. In the first, the controller will use light and nutrient supply to precisely regulate gene expression and cell growth in E. coli to achieve high protein and low biomass production rates. The second involves multiple feedback controllers regulating in parallel a large number of single stem cells, and leading to their differentiation to desired fates, e.g. beta cells, with potential for therapeutic applications. Finally, we will engineer into living cells dynamic molecular control systems. Such controllers can be used to monitor physiological variables and secrete biological effectors in a feedback fashion for the treatment of diseases like Type 1 diabetes.
The Partnership of Psychoanalysis and Psychiatry in the Treatment of Psychosis and Borderline States: Its Evolution in North America

The history of psychiatry is about two hundred years old and that of psychoanalysis more than a hundred, with an important anniversary of the latter in 2011. Freud renewed and humanized psychiatry by enriching its static descriptive method with the new dynamic and interpretive discoveries of psychoanalysis. Freud's innovations, while developed in Europe, were integrated into psychiatry briefly by the Swiss School but mainly in the United States. After many years of fruitful collaboration psychiatry and psychoanalysis seemed to part company in the U.S. in the last few decades. However, the tradition of combining psychiatric care with dynamic principles is still considered valid in the treatment of psychoses and severe personality disorders.

Studying the role of quiescent cancer stem cells in gbm development using a novel in vivo cell cycle-based approach

Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common and aggressive high-grade primary brain tumour in adults. More than 90% of the patients shows recurrence of the disease with a survival of 2 years despite a multitherapeutic approach consisting of a first surgical resection of the brain lesion followed by radio- and chemo-therapy. GBM patients die because of the cancer relapse that evolve becoming not sensitive to the classical therapies. A sub-population of quiescent/slow cycling cancer stem cells (CSCs) has been proposed to be the origin of the cancer relapse. The features and role of that specific population of CSCs within GBM is still not well characterised. The aim of the proposed project is to first clarify the cell cycle state of CSCs within GBM induced in mouse models in addition to their contribution and role in cancer development. To achieve this goal, I will use a cell cycle-based approach together GBM mouse models to: characterise the cell cycle state of CSCs within tumour (Aim 1); analyse the contribution of quiescent and proliferating CSCs during cancer development and their molecular features using a novel cell cycle-based lineage tracing approach (Aim 2); analyse the effect of selective ablation of each CSCs sub-subpopulation in cancer growth a novel cell cycle-based cellular ablation (Aim 3). Using a cell cycle point of view, the obtained results will be fundamental for the definition and the role of the different CSCs co-existing within glioma. In particular, the findings will open new avenue in the study of the role of quiescent or proliferating cells within GBM and give the possibility to others in the field for testing for example which cells contribute to cancer relapse after the initial tumour treatment (mass debulking and following radio- and chemo-therapy) or even design new drugs targeting specific CSC types.
Financing renewable energy projects through regional operational programmes

Regional operational programmes provide support granted from EU funds for different projects implemented in individual voivodeships in Poland. The aim of the programmes is to improve the competitiveness of regions and to promote the sustainable development. The priorities of the regional programmes include inter alia transport, environmental protection and sustainable energy production. The aim of the article is to analyze the support provided from chosen regional operational programmes for projects in renewable energy in Poland. The projects aimed at increasing the amount of electricity or heat produced from renewable resources and included for example modernisation of hydroelectric power plants or the installation of solar thermal collectors. The article discusses the effects of the support and difficulties in implementation. The analysis included regional program documents and data on the support provided.
Universal corrections to scaling for block entanglement in spin-1/2<i>XX</i>chains

We consider the R\'enyi entropies $S_n(\ell)$ in the one dimensional spin-1/2 Heisenberg XX chain in a magnetic field. The case n=1 corresponds to the von Neumann ``entanglement'' entropy. Using a combination of methods based on the generalized Fisher-Hartwig conjecture and a recurrence relation connected to the Painlev\'e VI differential equation we obtain the asymptotic behaviour, accurate to order ${\cal O}(\ell^{-3})$, of the R\'enyi entropies $S_n(\ell)$ for large block lengths $\ell$. For n=1,2,3,10 this constitutes the 3,6,10,48 leading terms respectively. The o(1) contributions are found to exhibit a rich structure of oscillatory behaviour, which we analyze in some detail both for finite $n$ and in the limit $n\to\infty$.
Paleomagnetism and rock-magnetism by micro-magnetic tomography

Our knowledge on the past behavior of the Earth’s magnetic field critically depends on our ability to obtain and interpret magnetic signals from geological materials such as lavas. These materials contain mixtures of different magnetic minerals, some of which are good recorders of the Earth’s magnetic field, others are not. Even the presence of a small amount of minerals with adverse magnetic properties obscures the signal of good recorders, resulting in >80% of measurements of the past Earth’s magnetic field strength being flawed. Understanding the Earth’s magnetic field is pivotal for predicting the future of its shielding capacity against the Sun’s electromagnetically charged particles, which globally weakened by >20% over the last millennium.

With MIMATOM, I aim to establish an entirely new way to obtain paleomagnetic and rock-magnetic information from geological materials. I will go beyond measuring magnetizations of bulk samples by determining the magnetic moments of individual minerals embedded in these samples in a non-destructive way. Starting from my recent proof-of-concept of Micro-Magnetic Tomography (MMT), I will develop a radically new technique to assess magnetizations of individual minerals inside geological materials. This will enable understanding which minerals are reliable recorders of the Earth’s magnetic field by characterizing their magnetic behavior as function of their grain size, shape, and chemistry.  Then I will use MMT to obtain paleomagnetic information from selections of minerals that I identified as good recorders and unlock information on the past state of the Earth’s magnetic field from even the most challenging and magnetically complex geological materials, such as lavas.

My revolutionary new technique will open archives of the past behavior of the Earth’s magnetic field that currently are inaccessible. Moreover, it will pave the way for radically new venues in paleomagnetic and rock-magnetic research, at mineral level.
Spectroscopic and Molecular Modeling Based Approaches to Study on the Binding Behavior of DNA with a Copper (II) Complex

Blocking the division of tumor cells by small-molecules is currently of great interest for the design of new antitumor drugs. The interaction of a new metal complex with DNA was investigated through several techniques. Absorption spectroscopy and gel electrophoresis studies on the interaction of the Cu-complex of (2a-4mpyH)2 [Cu(pyzdc)2 (H2O)2].6 H2O with DNA have shown that this complex can bind to CT-DNA with binding constant 3.99 × 10(5) M(-1). The cyclic voltammetry (CV) responses of the metal complex in the presence of CT-DNA have shown that the metal complex can bind to CT-DNA through partial intercalation mode and this is consistent with molecular docking analysis, quenching process and thermal denaturation experiments. The cytotoxicity of this complex has been evaluated by MTT assay. The results of cell viability assay on DU145 cell line revealed that the metal complex had cytotoxic effects.
Innovative technology for removal of toxic metals form highly contaminated soil & sediments

In Europe, more than 340 000 sites are likely to be highly contaminated and in need of remediation measure. About 20% of farmland soil in China require urgent remediation action. Urban soils are contaminated by Pb-based paint and emissions from the combustion of leaded gasoline in all major cities in US. Lead was identified by WHO as 1 of 10 chemicals of major public health concern. Urban soil is a lingering source of lead poisoning in children. Most countries have made the clean-up and restoration of the contaminated land a priority thus creating the opportunity for soil preserving remediation options. The remediation of contaminated soil is essential for the protection of environmental resources and human health. There are no effective and sustainable (soil preserving) remediation technologies for soils contaminated primarily with Pb. Excavation with landfilling is unfortunately still one of the most used solutions (used in 82-84% of cases. ReSoil is the single available remediation option which efficiently removes Pb and other toxic metals from contaminated soils and preserves soil as a natural resource. ReSoil is EDTA-based soil-washing technology with innovative technology for recycling of EDTA and process waters in closed-loop and thus ensuring generation of no liquid wastes. ReSoil is a breakthrough, globally important green environmental innovation in the verge of commercialization. ReSoil demonstration plant (6 t/day) and demonstration garden are available. Low operation and remediation cost, no environmental emission and preserving soil as a natural resource for safe food production make ReSoil technology disruptive innovation in the growing soil remediation market (8% annual growth rate). Increasing public concern and awareness requires new effective and cost-efficient gentle remediation options. ENVIT is an engineering company with an aim to offer the world the efficient solution for removal of lead and other pollutants from soil.

Safely optimized runway throughput

The expected rapid growth in air traffic will lead to an increasing number of capacity constrained airports. Therefore airports have to improve significantly the runway and airport throughput while maintaining or increasing runway safety levels. In SESAR 2020 WAVE-1 this was mainly addressed by PJ02 with the four solutions:
   
   PJ.02-01: Wake turbulence separation optimisation 
   PJ.02-02: Enhanced arrival procedures
   PJ.02-03: Minimum Pair Separations based on required surveillance performance   
   PJ.02-08: Traffic optimisation on single and multiple runway airports

This VLD covers four solutions:

The use of aircraft type-specific pairwise separation will be used at Heathrow Airport, focusing on the runway occupancy time part of the overall TBS concept. At Vienna, the use of a wake decay enhancing device is intended to be demonstrated. There will be a demonstration at Zurich Airport of a concept known as ROCAT, which enables a reduction in the surveillance separation minimum for in-trail pairs on final approach, including a revised runway occupancy time aircraft classification. The benefits of an integrated AMAN-DMAN runway sequencer will be demonstrated at Stockholm Arlanda in shadow mode. 

Together these demonstrations will collect evidence of the concept(s) within the overall time-based separation concept. As such the proposed large scale demo VLD3-W2 SORT closes the gap between the actual concept development and the deployment (or pre-industrialization) phases by demonstrating the operational and technical readiness. And by doing so de-risking the later deployment phases of  these four solutions, either in real life trials and/or shadow modes trials at major European airports, this will ensure trust in the SESAR results.

FEM modeling of dynamical recrystallization during multi-pass hot rolling of AM50 alloy and experimental verification

The microstructure simulation during the multi-pass hot rolling of AM50 alloy was studied by DEFORM-3D. The excellent agreement with the experiment observations shows that the present modeling and user routine are feasible for the reproduce of the hot rolling process. The multi-pass hot rolling contributes to the achievement of a uniformly recrystallized microstructure with fine grains in the rolled sheet. The sheet temperature before the finish rolling strongly affects the final grain size, but hardly affects the grain size distribution. This modeling and the user routine also have a potential to be applied in the researches of the other multi-pass hot deformation process.
