Smart Specialisation Strategy at city level

IN FOCUS is called to bring together a number of cities that are committed to enhance their growth potential and global positioning according to their specialization strategies.Despite the recent proliferation at regional level of the so-called Research and Innovation Strategies for Smart Specialisation RIS3, a performance shortage has rapidly emerged on this issue at the level of urban economies. At a large extent, it is a question of multi-governance. That is a significant gap anyway, considering the main role big cities play in the global competition.That challenge is also linked to the limited experience in building up consistent industrial policies at urban level in most of the Member States. All of this shows the need for exchanging knowledge, under an integrated urban development perspective, on how sectorial policies can be improved and better connected to Smart Specialisation Strategies at city level.However, instead of merely transferring the RIS3 methodology down to the local level, the project aims at getting a specific city roadmap to smart specialisation, as a powerful and overarching approach to properly assemble a number of key concepts and trends, such as cluster-based segmentation, entrepreneurial talent management, city branding or new urban workplaces.IN FOCUS will trace a cutting-edge peer-learning transnational itinerary on this theme, which should crystallize locally into an Integrated Action Plan by each of the participating cities.

Consciously on tour

Sustainable tourism plays a rather marginal role in the program region – despite recognisable potential. The project wants to tackle this problem and increase both supply and demand of sustainable tourism, by improving the visibility of sustainable operators. The activities in the WPs are composed of an analysis of the program region’s label and sustainable tourism market, the subsequent composition of a tool which helps operators to choose the best fit sustainability label (WP3), transnational advanced training activities (WP4), networking and the institutionalization of an_x000D_
interest group for current and prospective sustainable tourism operators (SMEs) (WP5). The involvement of 30 SMEs as part of 3 pilot regions will not only help to test and optimize the tool, but also set a foundation for the dissemination of the newly acquired competences. Thereby, the public image of the program region’s tourism sector is sought to be changed in a way that puts sustainability at the forefront. In order to achieve such a fundamental change within a whole economic sector, bundling resources on a transnational level is essential.
Impact of buiding block shape on self-assembly kinetics

Self-assembly is a spontaneous arrangement of building blocks into ordered structures. Shape of the building block is one of the key factors, determining the structure of resulting assembly. During the process of self-assembly, the building blocks move through thermal motion and, once in contact, adjust their mutual positions and orientations to minimize free energy and form ordered structure. Increasing shape anisotropy of the building block gradually hinders its reorientation during the process and increases the energy barriers. I propose to study the impact of increasing anisotropy of building blocks on their ability to overcome kinetic barriers during self-assembly process and reach equilibrium. Systematic experimental study will be performed with two dimensional Brownian dispersions of platelet microparticles. The platelets will have irregular pentagonal shape of such geometry that allows complete filling of the plane (valid solutions of pentagonal tiling problem). The shape anisotropy of the microparticles will be gradually increased (decreasing symmetry and circularity, increasing complexity of ordered pattern) and the effect on self-assembly kinetics will be evaluated. Proposed study is the first, systematically revealing relation between shape anisotropy and self-assembly kinetics. Its results will enable new fundamental insights into self-assembly of complex shapes.
Proposed self-assembly experiments require large quantities of microparticles of complex shapes and, simultaneously, not larger than a Brownian limit (~micron). Thus, I propose to develop novel low-cost high-throughput synthetic procedure, utilizing stop-flow lithography for production of Brownian silica particles. The host group participance in the project is vital as it is currently the only laboratory in Europe, working with stop-flow lithography. Furthermore, self-assembly is the main research theme in the host group, thus I can rely on their excellence in both parts of proposed project.

The economy-wide effects of large-scale renewable electricity expansion in Europe: The role of integration costs

Abstract With the increasing share of renewables in electricity generation in Europe, implied economy-wide macroeconomic feedbacks and spill-over effects to other sectors and actors are of rising importance. We quantify the macroeconomic effects of a large-scale expansion of wind and photovoltaics (PV) in Europe, employing a global multi-regional multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model. We place special emphasis on electricity market integration costs, which have so far been neglected not only in most bottom-up technology comparisons, but also in macroeconomic studies. We find that the societal welfare effects of a large-scale expansion of wind and PV tend to be positive; however, when integration costs are taken into account, positive welfare effects are either much smaller or even become negative, depending very much on regional characteristics, such as the prevailing electricity mix, weighted average costs of capital (WACC) or capacity factors. We also show that macroeconomic feedback effects raise generation costs above what is anticipated from a bottom-up perspective, since the high capital intensities of renewable electricity generation technologies drive up economy-wide capital prices. This may imply that they are no longer competitive when installed at large-scales.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR IMPEDING THE SPILLAGE OF A LIQUID CARGO FROM A DAMAGED WATER-TRAVELING VESSEL

An assembly for impeding the spillage of petroleum from a damaged oil tanker includes one or more barrier members (10) at least partially made of permeable fabric material (12) provided with reinforcing ribs (14) in the shapes of triangles of two sizes. Triangles of a large size (16) are surrounded by triangles of a small size (18) such that two small triangles (18) are disposed along each side or edge of a large triangle (16). The small triangles (18) thus have a side length approximately one half of the side length of the large triangles (16). The ribs (14) are made of synthetic resin which permeates the fabric material (12). The barrier member (10) material is also utilizable, particularly if coated, for a collapsible temporary storage bag (66) which may be inflated in an emergency and pumped full of petroleum from a perforated storage compartment of a damaged tanker.

SU-E-J-191: Automated Detection of Anatomic Changes in H' N Patients

Purpose: To develop a novel statistics-based method for automated detection of anatomical changes using cone-beam CT data. A method was developed that can provide a reliable and automated early warning system that enables a “just-in-time” adaptation of the treatment plan. Methods: Anatomical changes were evaluated by comparing the original treatment planning CT with daily CBCT images taken prior treatment delivery. The external body contour was computed on a given CT slice and compared against the corresponding contour on the daily CBCT. In contrast to threshold-based techniques, a statistical approach was employed to evaluate the difference between the contours using a given confidence level. The detection tool used the two-sample Kolmogorov-Smirnov test, which is a non-parametric technique that compares two samples drawn from arbitrary probability distributions. 11 H'N patients were retrospectively selected from a clinical imaging database with a total of 186 CBCT images. Six patients in the database were confirmed to have anatomic changes during the course of radiotherapy. Five of the H'N patients did not have significant changes. The KS test was applied to the contour data using a sliding window analysis. The confidence level of 0.99 was used to moderate false detection. Results: The algorithm was able to correctly detect anatomical changes in 6 out of 6 patients with an excellent spatial accuracy as early as at the 14th elapsed day. The algorithm provided a consistent and accurate delineation of the detected changes. The output of the anatomical change tool is easy interpretable, and can be shown overlaid on a 3D rendering of the patient's anatomy. Conclusion: The detection method provides the basis for one of the key components of Adaptive Radiation Therapy. The method uses tools that are readily available in the clinic, including daily CBCT imaging, and image co-registration facilities.

Combining inland and offshore paleotsunamis evidence: the Augusta Bay (eastern Sicily, Italy) case study

Abstract. Offshore and inland geological evidence for multiple tsunami inundations was found in the Augusta Bay area: (1) the main local historical tsunamis (1908, 1693, 1169), (2) two far-generated tsunamis (i.e. Crete 365 AD and Santorini, 3600 BP), and (3) seven unknown tsunamis). Average tsunami recurrence intervals from inland and offshore investigations of about 550 and 320 yr, respectively were obtained for the past 4 ka. The history of paleotsunamis from the marine record appears to be as complete as the historical one for the past millennium, yielding an average tsunami recurrence interval of 250 yr for the Augusta Bay. Geological data allow also estimating a minimum tsunami inundation distance of 530 m and a minimum run-up of 5 m. The marine record contains evidence for more paleotsunamis with respect to the inland one because of continuous sedimentation and better preservation of stratigraphy in the offshore with respect to coastal areas, which are commonly affected by intermittent-erosion and sedimentation and anthropic activities. This work shows that the integration of geological and historical data can provide critical information regarding the extent and age of tsunamis of the past (e.g. inundation distance, age, and frequency), which is of immediate relevance for tsunami hazard assessment.
An experimental study of weakly three-dimensional non-breaking and breaking waves

Abstract To investigate the influence of directionality on intermediate- and deep-water ( kh = 1.09 – 3.49 ) wave breaking, an elaborately designed physical experiment was conducted in an ‘X’ configuration, where two identical two-dimensional wave trains were generated and propagated with an approach angle of 8° (i.e. a weakly three-dimensional configuration) and encountered each other in an interaction region. The study involved measuring the wave surface elevations using calibrated wave gauges along the channels as well as recording the variation of the surface elevations spatially using video in the vicinity of the interaction region. In addition, for direct comparison a two-dimensional experiment was also conducted in one of the channels with the ‘X’ configuration essentially removed by a dummy wall in the interaction region. The experimental results show that the weakly three-dimensional experiments have little influence on the profile of wave trains with relatively low initial steepness ( S 0 = 0.215 . S 0 = k s ∑ a n , where k s is the wave number corresponding to the spectrally weighted wave frequency, and a n is the wave amplitude of the n th wave component), although it is pronounced when breaking occurs. In addition, the frequency spectra of the focusing waves illustrate that the interaction of two wave trains increases the energy in the 0.91 f / f p 1.82 band for non-breaking cases and dissipates the energy from the higher frequency end for breaking cases. Compared with the two-dimensional experiment, it is noted that due to directional wave–wave interaction, breaking events could occur with smaller initial steepness and, more interestingly, with lower energy dissipation. It is somewhat surprising that the breaking dissipation was reduced. We noticed a shift in focusing/breaking location (i.e. premature) due to the increase in crest height using linear focusing theory, which was more pronounced during directional wave–wave interaction.

Alpine Forest FIre waRning System

The project aims to improve forest fire prevention in the AS with the creation of a shared warning system based on weather condition affecting fire potential. Main goal is the development of a decision support tool for actors involved in forest fire prevention and suppression, consisting in a daily fire danger level assessment and forecast to identify critical periods in advance of their potential occurrence. Major target is the univocal European Forest Fire Danger Scale definition and common danger level interpretation with resulting preparedness plans and operational procedures. Mutual aid in vigilance and extinction procedures will be defined. An Alpine network on forest fire impact mitigation will be assembled reflecting common political strategy in prevention management, also in relation to climate change affecting fire potential. The project allows modulation and coordination of alerting process and means dislocation in different countries as well as mutual aid protocol adoption.
Vehicles for oligonucleotide delivery to tumours

Abstract The vasculature of a tumour provides the most effective route by which neoplastic cells may be reached and eradicated by drugs. The fact that a tumour's vasculature is relatively more permeable than healthy host tissue should enable selective delivery of drugs to tumour tissue. Such delivery is relevant to carrier-mediated delivery of genetic medicine to tumours. This review discusses the potential of delivering therapeutic oligonucleotides (ONs) to tumours using cationic liposomes and cyclodextrins (CyDs), and the major hindrances posed by the tumour itself on such delivery. Cationic liposomes are generally 100–200 nm in diameter, whereas CyDs typically span 1.5 nm across. Cationic liposomes have been used for the introduction of nucleic acids into mammalian cells for more than a decade. CyD molecules are routinely used as agents that engender cholesterol efflux from lipid-laden cells, thus having an efficacious potential in the management of atherosclerosis. A recent trend is to employ these oligosaccharide molecules for delivering nucleic acids in cells both in-vitro and in-vivo. Comparisons are made with other ON delivery agents, such as porphyrin derivatives (&amp;lt; 1 nm), branched chain dendrimers (≈ 10 nm), polyethylenimine polymers (≈ 10 nm), nanoparticles (20–1000 nm) and microspheres (&amp;gt; 1 μm), in the context of delivery to solid tumours. A discourse on how the chemical and physical properties of these carriers may affect the uptake of ONs into cells, particularly in-vivo, forms a major basis of this review.
Probabilistic Approaches to Estimating the Quality of Information in Military Sensor Networks

Modelling based on probabilistic inference can be used to estimate the quality of information delivered by a military sensor network. Different modelling tools have complementary characteristics that can be leveraged to create an accurate model open to intuitive and efficient querying. In particular, stochastic process models can be used to abstract away from the physical reality by describing it as components that exist in discrete states with probabilistically invoked actions that change the state. The quality of information may be assessed by using the model to compute the probability that reports made by the network to its users are correct. In contrast, dynamic Bayesian network models, which have been used in a variety of military applications, are a more suitable vehicle for understanding the overall network performance and making inferences about the quality of information. Queries can be made simply by instantiating some variables and computing the probability distributions over others. We show that it is possible to combine both modelling tools by constructing a Bayesian network over the state variables of the process algebra model. The sparsity of the resulting Bayesian network allows fast propagation of probabilities, and hence interactive querying for the quality of information.

Mobile Places, Relational Spaces: Conceptualizing Change in Sydney's LGBTQ Neighborhoods

Since the 1950s neighborhoods associated with lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, and queer (LGBTQ) subjects and communities have become part of the urban landscape in many cities of the Global North. In Australia this is evident in Sydney, where particular inner-city suburbs are bracketed with ‘gay’, ‘lesbian’, and ‘queer’ sexualities. These sexual-spatial relations are multiple and changing, with current fears about the decline of ‘traditional’ gay village spaces coinciding with the emergence of alternative LGBTQ neighborhoods. This paper reinterprets these transformations, departing from notions of the ‘demise’ of gay spaces, (re)conceptualizing Sydney's LGBTQ neighborhoods as mobile and relational moorings that are not fixed and immutable but repeatedly reconstructed and regrounded from flows of people, knowledge, and capital. Moreover, such mobile practices and representations connect places, symbolically and materially constructing them in relation to each other. Consequently, rather than reading through narratives of ‘demise’ and ‘emergence’, we suggest Sydney's LGBTQ landscapes are embedded in, and (re)constituted through, a ‘politics of mobility’. We examine the physical displacement, representations of mobility, and embodied mobile practices underpinning these changes in inner-city Sydney. In doing so, our purpose is to make conceptual and practical connections between the significance of ‘place making’ and ‘mobility’ to LGBTQ lives, communities, and politics. This discussion encourages geographers of sexualities to consider the multiplicity of LGBTQ mobilities, and equally prompts mobilities scholars to be cognizant of sexual and gender politics in processes and outcomes of mobilities.
