Exascale framework for supporting high-fidelity simulations of multiphase reacting flows in complex geometries

High performance computing (HPC) has transformed scientific research across numerous disciplines by supporting theory and experiments with numerical simulations. Exascale computing is the next milestone in HPC and is called to play an important role in economic competitiveness, societal challenges and science leadership. Combustion is one of the fields with high strategic importance and potential to fully exploit the future exascale systems. Nowadays, combustion of fossil fuels is the main power source, and some projections indicate that the combustion of liquid fuels will still dominate transportation and power generation industries for the next 50 years. Further understanding of the physics and chemistry of the combustion process is fundamental to achieve improvements in fuel efficiency, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and pollutants, while transitioning to alternative fuels and greener technologies. The use of advanced numerical simulations has enabled to make important contributions for increasing cycle efficiency, reduction of pollutant emissions, and use of alternative fuels in practical applications. The exascale computing will enable the development of high-fidelity turbulent combustion simulations that could not be analyzed before because it was too computationally expensive. However, the implementation of the new and future supercomputers require the evolution of multiple and different technologies in a coherent and complimentary way, including hardware, software, and application algorithms. Scientific codes and formulations need to be re-designed and adapted in order to exploit the different levels of parallelism and complex memory hierarchies of the new and future heterogeneous systems. The goal of the project is to explore and develop novel co-execution, memory awareness and communication avoidance strategies into a framework that allows the simulation of advance high-fidelity multiphase reacting flows in complex geometries using unstructured grids.
Sequence of structural transitions in BiFeO3–RMnO3 thin films (R=Rare earth)

The BiFeO3 (BFO)–RMnO3 (R ¼rare earth) system affords an interesting combination of good ferroelectric polarization and magnetization properties at room temperature that is prerequisite for intrinsic multiferroism. In the present work we report on the structural properties of the BFO–RMnO3 (R¼Ho, Gd, La) solid solution in a range of concentrations. Using XRD and particularly Raman scattering we show the BFO–RMnO3 system undergoes a structural transition from monoclinic toward ferroelectric orthorhombic structure for RMnO3 concentrations of up to 10% and beyond it to paraelectric pseudo tetragonal structure for large ions or to pseudocubic for the small ones. The phase transitions are explained in terms of the change of the nature of octahedral distortion which is found to be sensitive to the concentration and size of the rare earth element, and the presence of manganese. & 2015 Elsevier Ltd and Techna Group S.r.l.

Disaster experience in the context of life: Perspectives five to six years after the 2003 Canberra Bushfire

Introduction To gain deeper understanding of the long-term lived experiences of adults affected by the 2003 Canberra bushfire, approximately five to six years after the disaster. Methods We present an overview of themes that emerged from thematic analysis of transcripts of in-depth semi-structured interviews of 25 adults directly affected by the 2003 Canberra bushfire interviewed from April 2008 to March 2009. Coincidentally, six of these participants were interviewed following the 2009 Victorian Bushfires and, where relevant, this is noted. Results The overarching themes that emerged were sensory memory from the day of the fires, emotions, relationships, and other life events. Participants reported an extraordinary sensory experience. They also reported and demonstrated mixed emotions over five years after the incident, such as fear, grief and anger, intertwined with gratitude and a sense of achievement. The disaster experience bonded some relationships, strained others, and often simultaneously supported and caused difficulties in close relationships. In terms of other life events, participants gauged the impact of the fires in relation to other significant personal life events before or after the fire. A few reported a sense of having to face a series of hardships; however, others reported that experiencing other hardships put the bushfires in perspective. Those interviewed following the 2009 Victorian bushfires also presented an interplay between emotions relating to their own experience and their thoughts and feelings relating to the more recent bushfire in Victoria. Conclusion Findings highlighted how the subjective experiences, perceived supportive and unsupportive factors, and meaning-making of people affected by disaster are embedded in the context of their lives in a dynamic and multi-dimensional way. People's thoughts and feelings cannot be solely attributed to the disaster in question, and arguably it would not be relevant to do so, as disasters always occur in the context of people's lives. Other life events not only add to the disaster experience, but the various life events can become lenses in which other life events are perceived, experienced, and processed. Grief, loss, fear, anxiety, and guilt can be intertwined with, and thus balanced by, a sense of gratitude and achievement. The role of life events and other factors such as relationships, thus cannot be simply categorised as supportive or risk factors. Subsequent disasters act as painful reminders of one's own experiences, but can also provide an opportunity to work through and relate to them as one who has gone through a similar experience and survived several years down the track.
Mobile wireless device microcantilever-based biosensor to identify and measure the aflatoxin b1 in animal food and m1 in the milk-chain

Food safety is actually one of the most burning problems in the agro-food sector.
The proposed feasibility study represents the first step to the development and commercialisation of a portable, mobile wireless device, cantilever-based nano-biosensor, to measure in field the B1, M1-aflatoxins to very low level values in animal feedstock and in the milk-chain.
The aim is to give a dramatic innovative solution for solving all the problems connected with the high mycotoxins contamination levels checked in animal feed and milk and more in general in the food-chain (reduced growth and fertility, immunosuppression and increasing sensitivity to infections, gastroenteric disorders, ….). 
Mycotoxins represent a world-wide problem: 25% of cultivation in Europe is contaminated and more than 35% of imported raw material from the rest of the world, particularly from China. This problem could affect a potential market of 5 million farmers and 75000 animal feed producers in Europe
The feasibility study output will concern the design of a device and its market positioning with the following innovative features, which are requested by the end-users:
- in the field measurement, reliable, fast and easy, transportable. Actually, measurements are possible only in specific environments (i.e Chemical labs). 
Feed stock producers, breeders and more in general the farmers will be the potential customers.
The feasibility study tackles 3 main areas :
• Market and patent analysis, for a quick entry in the European market
• User needs: a first set of recommendations has been already collected, but a further assessment of the user needs will be carried out, mainly thanks to the cooperation with end users.
• Project technological feasibility: through the check of the technological key elements detailed in the description of work
The final output of the project will be a detailed Business Plan, containing the Exploitation and Dissemination Plan

Revision of western Palaearctic species of the Oulema melanopus group, with description of two new species from Europe (Coleoptera: Chrysomelidae: Criocerinae)

Five species of the Oulema melanopus group are recognized in the western Palaearctic Region: O. melanopus (Linnaeus, 1758), O. rufocyanea (Suffrian, 1847), O. duftschmidi (Redtenbacher, 1874), O. mauroi sp. nov. (northern Italy), and O. verae sp. nov. (Spain and Portugal). The two new species are described and illustrated. The nomenclature of the group is discussed in detail. Oulema rufocyanea is proved to be a validly described species different to O. duftschmidi. To fix the nomenclatural stability of the whole group and avoid subsequent misintepretations, neotypes are designated for Crioceris melanopoda O. F. Muller, 1776; Crioceris hordei Geoffroy, 1785; and Lema cyanella var. atrata Waltl, 1835 (all conspecific with O. melanopus). The primary type specimens or their photographs were examined if they exist. The spelling Oulema melanopus is fixed as correct and explained. Variation in the cytochrome c oxidase (cox1) gene across specimens of all the species has been analysed. All species in the group had extremely similar haplotypes, with interspecific sequence similarities between 90.5–99.5 %, compared to intraspecific sequence similarities between 91.6–100 %. As a result, the phylogenetic relationships among species in the group were not well resolved based on cox1 sequences.
On some geometric conditions for minimality of DCH-functions via DC-duality approach

In this study, some optimality conditions for DCH-functions are given in terms of $$\varepsilon $$
 -faces using DC-duality approach. We introduce some geometric characterizations for the solution set of DCH-minimization problems by means of exposed faces and Minkowski difference. Moreover, we prove that given conditions are independent of the choices of representatives of DCH-functions. Also, some of these conditions are employed to find inf-stationary points for a quasidifferentiable optimization problem (QDP), i.e., the directional derivative of the objective function is a DCH-function. Therefore, we present a condition to find stationary points of a QDP. We give some examples to illustrate obtained results.
West africa's role in human evolution

Recent evidence indicates that the roots of our species, Homo sapiens, do not trace back to a single population, but to morphologically diverse group living over an extensive geographic area from Morocco to South Africa. The range of environments and regions in Africa that played a role in shaping our species is therefore rapidly emerging as central to unravelling human origins. However, thanks to the lack of fieldwork in many regions of Africa, these important parameters are not well understood.

The aWARE project will therefore undertake a timely investigation into the role of Africa’s western forests, and their neighbouring ecozones, in modern human origins. Genetic and fossil studies have associated poorly known West Africa with complex evolutionary processes thought to have played a key role in shaping our species. Such processes include admixture between our species and late-surviving archaic humans, and long-term isolation of H. sapiens populations in forested zones. Significantly, research in West Africa by the applicant has also identified a unique late persistence of stone tool technology typical of much older periods, while at the same time demonstrating that human populations were present in currently forested regions close to the time of H. sapiens speciation. 

aWARE builds on this pilot work and sets forth a series of explicit, testable hypotheses to explore the time depth and environmental context of human populations in West Africa as a window into our pan-African origins. To adequately address these hypotheses, an interdisciplinary approach is taken, combining information from archaeology and palaeoecology. By exploring major theories in recent human origins through Africa’s poorly known western region, the project offers an opportunity to radically change our understanding of recent human evolution. The results will be broadly communicated through open access resources, including an online database and targeted public outreach activities.

The method is characterised in that said vector index I1 corresponds to the number of vectors preceding said vector 1 in the reverse lexicographic order, without involving a step of determining all of the vectors.
The impact of household food consumption data collection methods on poverty and inequality measures in Niger

This paper assesses the impact of three methodologies of food data collection on the welfare distribution, and poverty and inequality measures in Niger. The first methodology is a 7-day recall period, the second one is a usual month, and the third one is a 7-day diary. The paper finds that there is a difference in the distribution of welfare between, on the one hand, the two first methodologies (7-day recall and a usual month, which give results close to each other) and, on the other hand, the 7-day diary method. When considering annual per capita consumption, the 7-day diary lags the 7-day recall by 28 percent. This gap is not only at the mean of the distribution, it has been found at any level. These differences lead to differences in poverty and inequality measures even when alternate poverty lines are used. This study underscores the problem that many developing countries face when it comes to monitoring poverty indicators over time where different methodologies have been used over the years.
Conservatives and Gamblers: Interpreting plant functional response to water stress in terms of a single indicator

Water availability has a decisive impact on plant growth, survival and distribution. Climate change is expected to alter both the amount and variability of precipitation. To predict and understand plant responses to water stress, efficient and robust mechanisms for describing their functional responses to water availability are needed. However, most ecohydrological processes and models which take into account these responses are inherently complex, difficult to understand and require large amounts of data. We develop a novel straightforward approach and hypothesize that: (1) Plants exhibit two archetypical response patterns under water stress, one typical to slow-growing plants and one typical to fast-growing ones, with most plants being situated between these two. (2) Differences within and between these functional types can be adequately described by a single parameter - the threshold of relative soil water content - at which plants reduce their transpiration in response to water stress. This indicator is straightforward and relies on data which is relatively easy to measure. Its effect has been previously described and it is already used in several models to simulate the effect of water stress on plants. In our approach, we combine this indicator with a description of reactions patterns. This combination provides a general and efficient way of classifying plant responses and allows the assessment of the impact of water stress on a wide variety of plants. Due to its simplicity, our approach offers the opportunity to include water relations of plants in a larger set of models and descriptions than it is possible with more complex ecohydrological descriptions. It also can be used to explain biodiversity in fluctuating environments.
An association between −866G/A polymorphism in the promoter of UCP2 and obesity: A meta-analysis

-866G/A polymorphism in the promoter of UCP2 gene has been reported to be associated with obesity, but the results remain inconclusive. To assess the relation of UCP2 -866G/A polymorphism and obesity susceptibility, a meta-analysis was performed. PubMed, ISI, Wanfang database, VIP and CBM were searched to identify relevant studies up to July 31, 2012. Odds ratios (OR) and 95% confidence interval (95% CI) were pooled using fixed or random effect models. Subgroup analysis was performed by ethnicity (categorized as Asian and European). Heterogeneity and publication bias evaluation were performed to validate the credibility. Meta-regression and the 'leave one out' sensitive analysis were used to explore the potential sources of between-study heterogeneity. 14 studies were included in this meta-analysis. After exclusion of articles that deviated from the HWE in controls, and were the key contributors to between-study heterogeneity, the meta-analysis showed a significant association of the A allele with reduced risk of obesity in overall analysis and in European in the dominant, codominant and additional models. In Asian, no significant association was found between the -866G/A in UCP2 gene and obesity susceptibility. The meta-analysis suggested that UCP2 -866G/A polymorphism was associated with obesity. The A allele may be an important protective factor for obesity in European, but not in Asian. Further studies are needed to elucidate the relationship.

Impact of strain on electronic defects in (Mg,Zn)O thin films

We have investigated the impact of strain on the incorporation and the properties of extended and point defects in (Mg,Zn)O thin films by means of photoluminescence, X-ray diffraction, deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), and deep-level optical spectroscopy. The recombination line Y2, previously detected in ZnO thin films grown on an Al-doped ZnO buffer layer and attributed to tensile strain, was exclusively found in (Mg,Zn)O samples being under tensile strain and is absent in relaxed or compressively strained thin films. Furthermore a structural defect E3′ can be detected via DLTS measurements and is only incorporated in tensile strained samples. Finally it is shown that the omnipresent deep-level E3 in ZnO can only be optically recharged in relaxed ZnO samples.
Alternative splicing determines mRNA translation initiation and function of human K2P10.1 K+channels

Potassium-selective ion channels regulate cardiac and neuronal excitability by stabilizing the resting membrane potential and by modulating shape and frequency of action potentials. The delicate control of membrane voltage requires structural and functional diversity of K+ channel subunits expressed in a given cell. Here we reveal a previously unrecognized biological mechanism. Tissue-specific mRNA splicing regulates alternative translation initiation (ATI) of human K(2P)10.1 K+ background channels via recombination of 5 nucleotide motifs. ATI-dependent expression of full-length protein or truncated subunits initiated from two downstream start codons determines macroscopic current amplitudes and biophysical properties of hK(2P)10.1 channels. The interaction between hK(2P)10.1 mRNA splicing, translation and function increases K+ channel complexity and is expected to contribute to electrophysiological plasticity of excitable cells.
On Current Account Sustainability of China's Balance of International Payments

On the basis of intertemporal models of Hakkio and Rush(1991) and Husted(1992),this paper studies China's current account sustainability from 1990 to 2010.Using the real import and export values,it finds that there is no cointegration relationship between imports and exports in China,which shows that current account does not meet the intertemporal budget constraint.In addition,using the structure break test of Gregory and Hansen(1996),it also finds that the time series of imports and exports in China are featured by cointegration relationship since the second quarter in 2005,showing the sustainability of imports and exports in China.This is due to the RMB exchange rate reform in 2005.
PPARγ and the Pathobiology of Pulmonary Arterial Hypertension

Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARgamma) is a nuclear receptor that functions as a transcription factor to regulate adipogenesis and metabolism by binding to PPAR response elements (PPAREs) in the promoter region of various target genes. Activation of PPARgamma suppresses smooth muscle cell proliferation and migration. This chapter discusses the potential protective role of PPARgamma and its downstream signaling cascades in the development of pulmonary arterial hypertension. Furthermore, the chapter also provides an overview on the cellular and molecular mechanisms involved in PPARgamma-mediated inhibitory effect on pulmonary vascular remodeling, a major contributor to the elevated pulmonary vascular resistance in patients with pulmonary arterial hypertension.
