Towards the discovery of efficient co2 electroreduction catalysts: well-defined ruox and mosx nano catalysts

In future, fuels and basic chemicals may be produced via an electrolytic process that converts CO2, water and electricity derived from renewable energy sources. Such promising, yet underdeveloped technology needs fundamental breakthroughs in the development of efficient electrode catalysts, i.e. electrocatalysts, for CO2 reduction reaction (CO2-RR). In fact, none of the currently known catalysts has adequate efficiency.
In this project, I propose to investigate well-defined ruthenium oxide (RuOx) and molybdenum sulphide (MoSx) nano catalysts for the CO2-RR. The goal is to discover new, efficient catalysts on the basis of fundamental insight. In the first phase, model RuOx and MoSx catalysts (nanoparticles, thin films) will be investigated to elucidate the physicochemical parameters that control their performance. In the second phase, synthetic strategies will be applied to enhance the catalyst activity and selectivity; these will be based on the preparation of metal substituted RuOx and on the exploitation of catalyst-support interactions.
The proposed investigation is:
• Timely, given the relevance attributed by the European Union and by the chemical industry to the research on CO2 re-utilization strategies that involve the integration of renewable energy sources;
• Innovative. RuOx and MoSx are promising, yet largely unexplored catalysts for the CO2-RR. The strategies devised to enhance their performance are radically different from what has been proposed so far.
• Expected to provide high impact. The structure-activity descriptors identified through this study will open new perspectives for the design of efficient catalysts via controlled synthetic processes. 
The research methodology is based on the synthesis of well-defined catalysts coupled with a multi-analytical characterization approach. As such, it is ideal to achieve the objectives and it will provide new knowledge for the researcher. The planned collaborations will have great impact for the host group.
A study of penetration testing procedures using Windows PowerShell: introduction to offensive PowerShell & assesment of PowerShell security tools

This project is an attempt to approach penetration testing with PowerShell tools.
Since PowerShell is at the time being over ten years old, it has ended up being a modern, quite effective but also quite complex management command line interface able to manage not only Windows systems, but any system supporting .NET framework.
The mindset behind this project is to quickly present all basic components of PowerShell (.NET objects, commandlets, modules, scripts and functions) and then move on to specific tools and an example scenario, in an attempt to introduce the novice users to most PowerShell functionalities that they may come across.
This project is by no means a fully-fledged PowerShell guide or an in depth penetration testing manual but an introductory one, aiming to quickly guide the potential readers to start using the tools in question while maintaining a basic understanding of their actions, rather than just blindly typing or pasting commands into a cli window, without understanding at all, how or why these actually operate.
It should be mentioned that, nowadays, there is a great number of PowerShell penetration testing tools available, for all phases of the procedure. Many defensive or incident response tools have also emerged. The majority of the offensive tools will be listed and their utility will be presented throughout this project.
The offensive PowerShell community is very enthusiastic, thorough and well organized. All projects are developed in the open, on GitHub, so for source-code and in-depth information, please visit the respective links that can be found in the 8. Resources section.
ATRÁS DAS CORTINAS: O FORTE PRÍNCIPE DA BEIRA E O SISTEMA ECONÔMICO DO SECRETO PLANO DE COMÉRCIO NA AMAZÔNIA

Este artigo apresenta um estudo sobre o registro arqueológico do Forte Príncipe da Beira, uma fortificação do último quartel do século XVIII situada às margens do rio Guaporé na atual região fronteiriça entre a Amazônia brasileira e boliviana (em Rondônia). Ao se concentrar nas décadas iniciais da fortificação, período definido pela historiografia como de ‘paz armada’, o presente artigo enfoca na origem e importância comercial do Forte Príncipe da Beira enquanto feitoria, e em seu processo de construção a partir do trabalho de africanos escravizados na(s) canteira(s). Parte de uma pesquisa de doutorado em andamento, este estudo propõe um novo entendimento da distribuição interna dos edifícios da fortaleza referentes aos armazéns e produz insumos para compreender sua conexão com o sítio denominado Labirinto, não só contribuindo ao avanço do conhecimento sobre a fortificação, mas também atestando o protagonismo comunitário dos quilombolas do Forte Príncipe da Beira para sua produção.
Project on integrated assessment model-based scenarios for sustainable development objectives

In 2015, nearly all nations agreed on a set of ambitious Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) to ensure environment protection and human development. Accounting for the coherence of the overall set of goals presents a major scientific challenge as there are many complex relationships and feedbacks between them and across various scales (local to global, near- and long-term). However, in fact very little scientific information exists on how to achieve such a diverse set of goals simultaneously. In the proposed research, I will address the scientific gap by developing a novel set of model-based scenarios that explore the efforts required to achieve a set of key sustainable development targets by 2050 simultaneously (i.e. using a backcasting approach). These targets are based on the SDGs and other international agreements, and cover key sustainability issues such as food production, energy and land use, climate change, water scarcity, and nutrient cycles. 

The purpose of the analysis is to identify 1) transformation processes needed for achieving these targets (including timing), 2) key synergies and trade-offs among sustainability issues, and 3) the relationships between different geographic scales. In PICASSO, I will use the integrated assessment model IMAGE 3.0 to develop such scenarios and explore the key linkages. For this purpose, important model improvements will be made to better cover the feedbacks and response options relevant for the SDG targets. Additional project activities will cover uncertainty analysis, and questions related to implementation (the role of different actors in these transitions). Stakeholder interaction is vital and will be formalised in a project forum with key stakeholders that will meet on a regular basis. The scenarios may thus be used to implement and evaluate the SDGs, and they will also result in new scientific understanding of integrated response strategies that can be used by other researchers in more detailed analysis.
Os dilemas do marxismo latino-americano nas obras de Caio Prado Jr. e José Carlos Mariátegui

The aim of this paper is to compare the relationship between Marxism and the national question in the works of Brazilian historian Caio Prado Jr. and Peruvian journalist and activist Jose Carlos Mariategui. Based on the assumption that both share a similar reading of the national question - understood as the nation's unfinished formation, hampered by the persistence of the colonial legacy -, the article discusses the proximities and discrepancies between the two authors through a comparison of their works around some problems treated by both of them: the passage colony/nation, the agrarian question, the relationship between imperialism and the national bourgeoisie, and the theory of revolution. With such interpretative effort, one intends to demonstrate how both authors helped to overcome the difficulties of the Marxist theory for the understanding Latin-American realities.
Practical and effective tools to monitor and assess commercial drivers’ fitness to drive

PANACEA has 17 partners from 8 countries coming from multidisciplinary fields. The project will design, develop and test a holistic driving ability assessment system for commercial drivers to be used pre-driving, during driving and at the roadside, paired with cloud-based countermeasure and coaching solutions. In order to achieve this, PANACEA will create driver-oriented, health-based, touchless, and Use Case (UC) driven health monitoring and assessment solutions capable of detecting alcohol, licit (barbituric), illicit (methadone replacement) drugs, fatigue, stress, and cognitive load. Those drivers detected as unfit by the assessment/monitoring technology will receive personalised, targeted support from the cloud-based countermeasure and coaching system. Commercial Health Toolkits (CHTs), combining assessment/monitoring techniques with countermeasure solutions, will be tailored to fit the specific needs of each UC. The CHTs aim to become an ecosystem of support and knowledge for drivers and operators alike, available before/after/during shifts as well as on site and roadside. The sensitivity, specificity, robustness, ease-of-use, satisfaction and acceptance of these CHTs will be evaluated with over 90 AV shuttle, e-truck, coach and taxi drivers and courier service riders, operators and stakeholders, across 3 UC-driven Pilots (Greece, Spain and Sweden), considering gender specificities. A 4th UC focus on the transferability of the improved knowledge and technologies to other transport modes (i.e. aviation, maritime and rail). The primary outcome of PANACEA is the creation of new assessment technologies and countermeasure strategies which come together as a new fitness to drive paradigm applicable in commercial vehicle operations with vehicles at various automation levels. Finally, with the support of the Advisory Board, policy and legislative recommendations and updates of existing standards for health provision for commercial transportations will be provided.
Impact of basin-wide dry climate conditions and non-climatic drivers: an isolation approach

The sustainable management of water resources subjected to the joined influence of transboundary basin-wide dry climatic conditions and intensive man-made river regulations in an upper riparian state on the stream flow regime of a downstream country is a serious challenge. This is particularly the case for arid and semi-arid regions where water resources are limited. The Diyala river basin, shared between Iraq and Iran, was used as an example. The study aims to develop a generic approach to isolate the relative effect of upstream man-made interventions from the mutual impacts of basin-wide dry climate environments and upstream human-induced pressures. The proposed method supports water managers in unbiased, timely and spatially relevant decision-making processes. The streamflow drought index and the monthly-based truncation level were utilized to characterize hydrological droughts, while the standardized precipitation index was used for meteorological drought interpretations. Findings revealed that the upstream river regulation schemes noticeably led to a decline in water availability of the downstream country. The relative impact ranged from a minimum value of 5% in February to the highest value of 54% in July. The average proportional impacts between April and October and between November and March were about 46% and 17%, respectively.
Microscopic probes of inflationary cosmology

The theory of cosmic inflation is the current paradigm for early universe cosmology. I propose a research and training programme centered around two themes in inflationary cosmology. First, I will determine new signatures of high-energy physics in inflation i) by finding new shapes of non-Gaussianity, in particular signatures from the tower of higher-spin states predicted in high-energy completions of gravity such as string theory, and also ii) by studying natural extensions of the tensor sector, in particular higher spin fields with partial gauge symmetries, and the imprints left by these fields in tensor non-Gaussianity and in the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation. To achieve i) and ii), I will use methods of field theory in curved backgrounds, as well as general symmetry properties of cosmological correlation functions. Second, I will study quantum instabilities in de Sitter space, as well as an analogue in flat space, a constant background electric field. The instabilities will be determined by studying response functions and vacuum polarization in strong fields. The signatures proposed in the first theme will provide tools to perform particle spectroscopy and determine the field content of inflation. The effects proposed in the second theme are a potential microscopic mechanism for the dynamics of inflation. 
This programme will be conducted at the University of Amsterdam, giving me access to a wide network of collaborators in the fields of high-energy physics and cosmology, and provide me extensive training in various aspects of inflationary cosmology, CMB physics, string theory and the dynamics of systems out of equilibrium. The skills acquired in this proposal will tie excellently with my previous formation in cosmological perturbation theory, single-field inflation, and the dS/CFT correspondence.
Der Tankrabatt: Haben die Mineralölkonzerne die Steuersenkung an die Kunden weitergegeben?

Zusammenfassung Im vorliegenden Beitrag untersuchen Clemens Fuest, Florian Neumeier und Daniel Stöhlker die Auswirkungen des Tankrabatts auf die Preise für Superbenzin und Diesel an deutschen Tankstellen. Die Preiseffekte werden auf Basis eines Differenz-in-Differenzen-Ansatzes geschätzt, in dem Frankreich als Kontrollgruppe dient. Den Ergebnissen zufolge wurde der Tankrabatt im Fall von Diesel zu 100 Prozent an die Autofahrerinnen und Autofahrer weitergegeben. Im Fall von Superbenzin beträgt die Weitergabe 85 Prozent. Dass die Preise dennoch nicht dauerhaft gesunken sind, hat andere als steuerliche Gründe. Aus diesen Ergebnissen folgt aus Sicht der Autoren jedoch nicht, dass der Tankrabatt wirtschaftspolitisch eine sinnvolle Antwort auf die steigenden Energiepreise ist. Er setze das falsche Preissignal und komme vorwiegend Haushalten zugute, die überdurchschnittlich hohe Einkommen erzielen. Außerdem erhöhe er die Nachfrage nach Kraftstoffen und stehe damit im Konflikt zu ökologischen Zielen.
Learning Submodular Losses with the Lovász Hinge

Learning with non-modular losses is an important problem when sets of predictions are made simultaneously. The main tools for constructing convex surrogate loss functions for set prediction are margin rescaling and slack rescaling. In this work, we show that these strategies lead to tight convex surrogates iff the underlying loss function is increasing in the number of incorrect predictions. However, gradient or cutting-plane computation for these functions is NP-hard for nonsupermodular loss functions. We propose instead a novel convex surrogate loss function for submodular losses, the Lovasz hinge, which leads to O(p log p) complexity with O(p) oracle accesses to the loss function to compute a gradient or cutting-plane. As a result, we have developed the first tractable convex surrogates in the literature for submodular losses. We demonstrate the utility of this novel convex surrogate through a real world image labeling task.
CCR5 deficiency predisposes to fatal outcome in influenza virus infection

Influenza epidemics affect all age groups, although children, the elderly and those with underlying medical conditions are the most severely affected. Whereas co-morbidities are present in 50% of fatal cases, 25-50% of deaths are in apparently healthy individuals. This suggests underlying genetic determinants that govern infection severity. Although some viral factors that contribute to influenza disease are known, the role of host genetic factors remains undetermined. Data for small cohorts of influenza-infected patients are contradictory regarding the potential role of chemokine receptor 5 deficiency (CCR5-Δ32 mutation, a 32 bp deletion in the CCR5 gene) in the outcome of influenza virus infection. We tested 171 respiratory samples from influenza patients (2009 pandemic) for CCR5-Δ32 and evaluated its correlation with patient mortality. CCR5-Δ32 patients (17.4%) showed a higher mortality rate than WT individuals (4.7%; P = 0.021), which indicates that CCR5-Δ32 patients are at higher risk than the normal population of a fatal outcome in influenza infection.

POLYAMIDE MICROCAPSULES

The invention relates to polyamide microcapsules having a mean diameter in the range of from 0.1 to 5 mm. The inventive polyamide microcapsules are obtainable by (a) producing an aqueous phase in which (a1) diamines and (a2) anionic polymers and/or heteropolysaccharides are dissolved, (b) producing an oil phase in which (b1) dicarboxylic acid halides are dissolved, (c) contacting the two phases while forming a W/O emulsion so that polycondensation takes place on the interface and polyamide microcapsules are formed, (d) filtering off the polyamide microcapsules and washing them, (e) treating the polyamide microcapsules so purified with a calcium salt solution and solidifying them, and finally (f) again filtering off, washing and drying the solidified polyamide microcapsules.
Planet Design

The project Planet Design stems from the future and explicit needs of the European Wooden Furnishing sector, which are now recognized at all levels of the production chain. Innovating and differentiating the production offer are today the fundamental leverages for supporting the leadership of the European furnishing production system which, in the light of new changes occurring on the market and legislations environmental issues, must develop an offer which skillfully combines innovation, aesthetics and sustainability. The ability to “devise and manage innovation must become a widespread expertise within company structures, re-designing the NPD processes in a strategic manner. The Planet Design project will offer support to the furnishing production system for achieving this strategic objective, providing an ‘accompaniment’ service that is able to cover those phases of the NPD processes which are managed with greater difficulty by companies internally. Using a systematized approach to innovation does not mean “blocking” companies which quite rightly have distinguished themselves on the domestic and international markets: innovation can never be considered a completely rational and therefore replicable route. However today it is definitely necessary to intervene by integrating those moments of vital “ingenuity” with others of further investigation and rationalization of ideas.
Efficient Computation of the Branching Structure of an Algebraic Curve

An efficient algorithm for computing the branching structure of a compact Riemann surface defined via an algebraic curve is presented. Generators of the fundamental group of the base of the ramified covering punctured at the discriminant points of the curve are constructed via a minimal spanning tree of the discriminant points. This leads to paths of minimal length between the points, which is important for a later stage where these paths are used as integration contours to compute periods of the surface. The branching structure of the surface is obtained by analytically continuing the roots of the equation defining the algebraic curve along the previously constructed generators of the fundamental group.
The effect of<i>Houttuynia cordata</i>injection on pseudorabies herpesvirus (PrV) infection<i>in vitro</i>

Pseudorabies herpesvirus (PrV) belongs to the Alphaherpesvirinae. Piglets infected with PrV die within a few days. Development of effective antiviral agents is one alternative or complementary method to prevent PrV infection. Houttuynia cordata Thunb. (Saururaceae), H. cordata, a traditional Chinese medicine, is often used to relieve lung abnormal symptoms, infectious disease, refractory hemoptysis and malignant pleural effusion in China.The present study aimed to investigate the effect of H. cordata injection on cell infection by PrV using Vero cells (a monkey kidney cell line) and swine testis cells (ST) as models.The infectivity of PrV was determined by plaque assays when H. cordata was applied to the virus, to the virus infected cells, and to the cells prior to infection. The genomic DNA copies post-drug treatment were confirmed by PCR and reverse transcription PCR. The cell apoptosis caused by the virus was analyzed.H. cordata efficiently inhibited cell infection after incubating the drug with PrV. Nevertheless, H. cordata was more efficient in Vero cells than in ST cells in terms of its inhibitory effect. Low-dosage drug inhibited cell apoptosis induced by PrV; nevertheless, high-dosage drug alone resulted in cell apoptosis.H. cordata has a direct inhibitory activity against PrV in vitro. H. cordata may be used as an anti-PrV agent or combined with other anti-PrV agents. PrV infection induces cell apoptosis and H. cordata inhibits cell infection. The optimal administration dosage of H. cordata should be taken into account in the future, because high-dosage H. cordata alone causes cell apoptosis.
