DLC-COATED GATE VALVE IN PETROLEUM PRODUCTION OR WATER INJECTION

The invention provides a gate valve (1 ) for control of petroleum production or water injection, distinctive in that at least one surface subject to sliding in operation of the valve comprises a top layer coating of diamond like carbon (DLC). The DLC contains hydrogen, preferably more than 16 atom-% and more preferred more than 17 atom-%. It is further directed to a method of commissioning or operating a gate valve according to the invention, and use of a diamond like carbon (DLC) top layer coating on at least one surface subject to sliding in operation of the gate valve. Valve parts have a tendency of sticking, adhering or cold welding together, which result in high friction. The aim of the invention is to reduce or eliminate friction problems occurring with time or operation cycles, when using a full scale gate valve.
Impact of cleaning and other interventions on the reduction of hospital-acquired Clostridium difficile infections in two hospitals in England assessed using a breakpoint model

Clostridium difficile infection remains a major challenge for hospitals. Although targeted infection control initiatives have been shown to be effective in reducing the incidence of hospital-acquired C. difficile infection, there is little evidence available to assess the effectiveness of specific interventions.To use statistical modelling to detect substantial reductions in the incidence of C. difficile from time series data from two hospitals in England, and relate these time points to infection control interventions.A statistical breakpoints model was fitted to likely hospital-acquired C. difficile infection incidence data from a teaching hospital (2002-2009) and a district general hospital (2005-2009) in England. Models with increasing complexity (i.e. increasing the number of breakpoints) were tested for an improved fit to the data. Partitions estimated from breakpoint models were tested for individual stability using statistical process control charts. Major infection control interventions from both hospitals during this time were grouped according to their primary target (antibiotics, cleaning, isolation, other) and mapped to the model-suggested breakpoints.For both hospitals, breakpoints coincided with enhancements to cleaning protocols. Statistical models enabled formal assessment of the impact of different interventions, and showed that enhancements to deep cleaning programmes are the interventions that have most likely led to substantial reductions in hospital-acquired C. difficile infections at the two hospitals studied.
Zero-Defect manufacturing of composite parts in the aerospace industry

In the aerospace industry very high quality standards have to be met. For the manufacturing of carbon fibre parts this is currently solved through extended end-of-line inspection in combination with re-work processes to deal with defective parts. Also, in-situ visual inspection is used for quality control, which is currently causing huge productivity losses (30%-50%) during lay-up and has become a real bottleneck in carbon fibre parts manufacturing.

The project will provide a solution by developing inline quality control methods for the key process steps: automatic lay-up (dry fibre placement and automatic dry material placement) and curing. At the system level decision support systems will be developed that assist human decision-making when assessing defects and when planning the part flow through the production line. These will be supported by simulation tools for part verification and logistical planning. 
The future manufacturing of the A320neo wing covers will be provide the background for the developments. Each such wing cover consists of two parts, that each cost several hundred thousand Euros in manufacturing. Assuming the planned production rates of 60 planes per month from 2025, savings of 150 MEUR in production costs can be obtained per year.

The consortium consists of all key players that will play a future role in the manufacturing of such large carbon fibre parts. Airbus with its research centers Airbus Group Innovations and FIDAMC will play a leading role in the consortium as far as the multi-stage manufacturing process is concerned. Machine builders (MTorres, Danobat) and research centers will develop the inline quality control, while Dassault Systémes will provide simulation support.
Flexible Transport Services and ICT platform for Eco-Mobility in urban and rural European areas

Throughout Europe the challenge of providing a cost effective integrated public transport system is seen as an essential prerequisite to reducing pollution and congestion whilst encouraging sustainable economic growth.The traditional fixed route services is ideal for clustered travel demand areas but the changing of habitation patterns and nature of work activities in today’s society have created different mobility needs to which the conventional transport has become neither suited nor cost-effective.In the last few years Flexible Transport Services (FTS) have proved to be an advantageous solution to the provision of public transport services.By providing various forms of intermediate services,FTS are complementary to the conventional passenger transport and usually serve no scheduled mobility needs,either in low demand time periods and in weak demand areas.Given this flexibility FTS are suitable to serve niche market customers and different citizens' groups (e.g. disabled & elderly,
students,tourists,etc.).The FLIPPER proposal addresses a key factor of eco-sustainable and competitive development and social cohesion of European areas and Regions, through the investigation, experience exchange, good practices transferring and profitable co-operation on FTS in relation to mobility in cities, rural areas and small towns.By capitalising on real results,experiences and good practices gained in previous EU site applications and EU Projects (IV-V-VI FP and Regional Cooperation) FLIPPER aims at establishing a Knowledge Transfer Network among different EU areas and Authorithies in the domain of FTS.Moreover FLIPPER objective is to achieve capability-building environmental,sustainable and innovative solutions in the Public Transport domain by evaluating the viability and real impacts and by gathering the good practices identified at site level. FLIPPER consortium is composed of 11 partners (Local Authorithies,Transport Operator Companies and Universities) from 9 EU Regions
representing different transport/mobility environments.This provides an ideal context for exchanging experiences and good practices on mobility services accessibility,environmentally friendly transport services and for reducing social exclusion of vulnerable citizens' groups.The work planned in FLIPPER includes the following main activities:1)Exchange and sharing of experience on how to develop and operate FTS through training and visits;2)consolidation and transfer of good practices by feasibility and trials in FLIPPER sites/areas;3)promotion of good practices and FTS policy guidelines at local,regional and EU levels.The project outcomes and durable results include:technological,operational and organisational experiences exchanging on FTS at regional and international level to improve the effectiveness of policies for regional development,cohesion and co-operation;disseminating good practices and establishing a network for improving accessibility,transport services and life quality.

COMMUNICATION PROCESSORS FOR LAYERED PROTOCOLS

A special purpose communications protocol processor (CPP) provides more efficient processing of layered communication protocols -- e.g. SNA (Systems Network Architecture) and OSI (Open Systems Interconnection) -- than contemporary general purpose processors, permitting hitherto unavailable operations relative to high speed communication links. The CPP contains special-purpose circuits dedicated to quick performance (e.g. single machine cycle execution) of functions needed to process header and frame information, such functions and information being of the sort repeatedly encountered in all protocol layers, and uses instr­uctions architected to operate these circuits. The header processing functions given special treatment in this manner include priority branch determination functions, register bit reshaping (rearranging) functions, and instruction address processing functions. Frame processing functions so handled include CRC (cyclic redundancy check) computations, bit insertion/deletion operations and special character detection operations.
DEVICE FOR STORING HYDROGEN

The invention relates to a device (100) for storing hydrogen, comprising: a first material (111) for storing hydrogen by sorption, a second material (112, 121) for the reversible storage of hydrogen by sorption, and a chamber (110) containing the first material (111), in which, at the same temperature and the same hydrogen loading rate, the first material has a desorption equilibrium pressure that is strictly higher than that of the second material, and the second material is in fluid communication with the first material, said fluid communication being direct or by means of fluid communication means, such that the second material allows the pressure in the chamber to be limited.
Complete genome analysis of a novel norovirus GII.4 variant identified in China

The complete genome sequence of a novel norovirus strain GZ2010-L87 identified in Guangzhou was analyzed phylogenetically in this study. The RNA genome of the GZ2010-L87 strain is composed of 7,559 nucleotides. The phylogenetic analysis based on open reading frame (ORF) 2 revealed that the strain belongs to the GII.4 genotype, forming the new cluster GII.4-2009 which was also identified in Asia and the USA since 2009. Furthermore, phylogenetic analyses of the full genome and the different open reading frame sequences of GZ2010-L87 and other representative strains suggested that the novel strain did not undergo recombination. Comparative analysis with the consensus sequence of 31 completely sequenced norovirus GII.4-2009 genomes showed 86 mismatched nucleotides (56 in ORF1, 16 in ORF2, and 14 in ORF3), resulting in 19 amino acid changes (9 in ORF1, 3 in ORF2, and 7 in ORF3). Furthermore, 12 variable sites were found on the capsid protein of norovirus GII.4-2009, and most were located at the P2 domain. Meanwhile, based on comparison with other GII.4 clusters, 14 sites were shown specific to the novel cluster. In summary, the genome of the new GII.4-2009 variant GZ2010-L87, which was first identified in China, was extensively characterized with a large panel of genetically diverse noroviruses. The genomic information obtained from the novel variant can be used not only as a full-length norovirus sequence standard in China but also as reference data for future evolution research.
Farmacia robot cómo la automatización cambiará radicalmente la distribución de medicamentos

Distribution is a key point in medicine’s supply chain. Drug’s distribution requires: precise inventory control, limited human manipulation and specific environmental conditions. On the other hand, customers need a distribution system which is: reliable, 24/7 and with variety of selling points. Considering these needs and a limited budget, a medicine vending machine prototype has been developed with a low cost design that offers precision, stability, reliability and inventory control with less handling required. Finally, environmental product conditions have been satisfied with the integration of a temperature control system. In conclusion, it has been possible to develop a vending machine prototype that satisfies the Ecuadorian market necessities. For the future the prototype could be redesigned for mass production, which means that a new way of drugstore would be introduced to the existing market.

Ecologically and economically viable production and recycling of lithium-ion batteries

After the successful project Sintbat, this project aims to continue the effort with the modified objectives of LC-BAT-2-2019. This new call moves the focus to a new KPI, the cycle related costs per energy: €/kWh/cycle. It very well reflects the real need of the customers if a minimum volumetric energy density is added. An extended LCA, cradle-to-grave will be setup to judge the environmental impact of the different options and to choose the best. To show the both ECO-aspects (ECOlogical and ECOnomical) of our project the acronym ECO²LIB was created.
Especially for the deployment of advanced battery systems, time to market is an important factor. This criterion is helpful to select between the different electrochemical systems:
- Lithium-Sulphur: is heavily investigated, but up to now doesn’t show a break-through to reach acceptable cycle life
- Lithium-Air: For this system, many major problems are known to be solved, like Li metal protection, dendrite growth, cleaned air inlet, oxygen-stability of the catholyte
- Zinc-Air: is better, but this system, as all Metal-Air systems, will never lead to a maintenance-free battery
- All-Solid-State: has a chance in the polymer version, but rather not in oxidic or sulfidic version
- Sodium-Ion: can be potentially interesting for large-scale storage due to cost advantages (replacing Cu with Al), but is still held back due to the lack of a useful and stable anode material and a complex surface chemistry
- Organic-based systems: can be potentially interesting for large-scale storage due to potential sustainability impacts, but have problems regarding energy density (especially volumetric), cycling stability, and materials degradation
Consequently, the consortium decided to continue the improvement of the well-established Lithium-Ion system with advanced materials, methods and corresponding recycling-concept. So it will be possible to directly exploit the results of ECO²LIB in an IPCEI project, which is under preparation.
Ultras in portugal: narratives of violence, politics and gender

The rise of political extremes, mostly right-leaning, is the most important European development of the 21st century due to its potential to undermine the continent’s integrity and security. One of the contexts in which such political extremes originate, develop, and thrive is among a group of football fans known as ultras. Ultras have become the most spectacular form of football fandom, showcasing violence, politics, masculinity, and a fervent support of the club. Beyond the stadium, ultras also engage in other types of activism , which can threaten the fabric of European societies. Although the link between ultra membership and participation in other social movements has been established, there is a lack of understanding of the drivers and pathways between the two, particularly when it comes to the transition from football violence to political violence. ULTRA-VIOLENCE positions the Researcher to identify relationships between a) micro-, meso, and macro-level processes (ultras’ social networks, structural contexts of violence, different forms of deprivation, interactions with the authorities and security agendas) that shape individual pathways through the ultra world, b) the different types of activism carried out by ultras in Portugal; and c) the instances where ultra violence crosses over to politically motivated violence. Understanding these relationships will enhance national and international academic and policy understandings of ultra life courses and inform measures and approaches aimed at reducing ultra violence and politically motivated violence perpetrated by organisations and individuals holding extreme political views connected to the ultra world. It will also highlight strategies to shift ultra behaviour towards activism beneficial to society. ULTRA-VIOLENCE builds on and expands the Researcher's and Supervisor's previous work, connecting critical peace and conflict studies and feminist scholarship through the intersectionality of peace approach.
METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR HEATING A BED OF HYDROCARBON- CONTAINING ROCKS

Hydrocarbon-containing rocks (e.g. mined oil shale or mined coal or tar sands) are introduced into an excavated enclosure (e.g. a pit or an impoundment) to form a bed of rocks therein. One or more heaters (e.g. molten salt heaters) are operated to pyrolyze kerogen or bitumen of the rocks. In some embodiments, a hydrocarbon reflux loop is maintained within the enclosure to convectively heat the hydrocarbon-containing rocks by boiling hydrocarbon liquids from a reservoir at the bottom of the enclosure so that vapor passes to the top of the enclosure, condenses, and falls back through the bed. Alternatively or additionally, the rocks may be heated by heaters embedded within wall(s) and/or a floor of the enclosure. Some embodiments relate to techniques for upgrading mined coal to recover both hydrocarbon pyrolysis fluids and upgraded coal (e.g. anthracite coal).
Fore foot area, length and breadth of fore foot as determinants in sprint and long distance running

Higher metabolic cost of propulsion leads to quicker depletion of muscle phosphagens and accumulation of lactic acid while sprinting and uneconomical metabolic cost leading to quicker fatigue while running long distances. Larger foot dimensions need more propulsive force. This study analysed correlation among the forefoot area, length and breadth of forefoot and maintenance of top sprinting speed and distance running capacity of individuals. Timings for last 40 m in 100 m run to understand sprint maintenance and 1500 m to understand distance run were correlated. Foot area of the subjects was measured by graph weighing method. Zero, first and second order partial correlations were applied to analyse results. Significant zero order positive correlations were found between foot area and sprint maintenance (r= 0.355) and distance running (r=0.225) at 0.05 level of significance. The positive correlations between fore foot area and the sprint maintenance timing (r 2 = 0.336) and fore foot area and distance running timing (r 2 = 0.213) were significant (at df 200; r=0.132) when the effect of fore foot length and breadth were removed by second order correlation. First order correlations also were significant between forefoot area and sprint maintenance (r 1 =0.345 and r 1 = 0.336, length and breadth effect removed, respectively) and distance running (r 1 = 0.224 and r 1 = 0.213, respectively). It appears the sprint maintenance ability during the last 40 m of 100 m and distance running capacity decreases with the increase in the area of the fore foot.
Mortalidade neonatal em crianças com baixo peso ao nascer

Objective To evaluate the factors associated with neonatal mortality in infant born with low birth weight. Method Cross-sectional study that analyzed data from 771 live births with low birth weight (<2500 g) in the city of Cuiaba, MT, in 2010, of whom 54 died in the neonatal period. We obtained data from the Information System on Live Births and Mortality, by integrated linkage. Results In multiple logistic regression, neonatal mortality was associated with: number of prenatal visits less than 7 (OR=3.80;CI:1,66-8,70); gestational age less than 37 weeks (OR=4.77;CI:1.48-15.38), Apgar score less than 7 at the 1st minute (OR=4.25;CI:1.84-9.81) and the 5th minute (OR=5.72,CI:2.24-14.60) and presence of congenital anomaly (OR=14.39;IC:2.72-76.09). Conclusion Neonatal mortality in infants with low birth weight is associated with avoidable factors through adequate attention to prenatal care, childbirth and infants.
