Enabling simpler, cheaper and more efficient energy conversion for power electronics modules

Today’s society relies more and more on electricity, which is essential to power our homes, portable devices, and for our mobility via electric vehicles and bikes. To meet this growing demand for electricity, there are two solutions: increase production, or reduce energy losses in the distribution between production and consumption. The latter solution is becoming possible with the recent advent of wide band gap materials such as silicon carbide in the power electronics industry. SiC promises significant benefits such as high energy conversion efficiency and smaller device size. This leads for example to extended driving ranges in electric vehicles and more efficient generation of solar power. However, the potential of SiC has not yet been fully exploited. With a significant improvement to a key, yet overlooked, mandatory component of all electronic power devices, the gate driver, Heyday Integrated Circuits enables to fully leverage the potential of silicon carbide. HeyDay introduces Hey3012, the only gate driver with the revolutionary patented Power-Thru technology enabling the full potential of silicon carbide devices. Hey3012 delivers 4 key benefits: less conversion losses, less components, less volume and less cost.  
Heyday is targeting the growing market for isolated gate drivers estimated at €1.8B by 2025. Albeit small, this market has a major impact on the much bigger power electronics market (€40B in 2025). That is due to the ubiquity of power modules: electric vehicles, solar panels, robotics, data servers, power supplies and many other applications. Heyday will start Hey3012 sales in 2022 focusing on 3 key markets: automotive, solar and industrial motors, with respective time-to-markets of 4, 2.5 and 1.5 years. Heyday is a French company founded in 2014 with the mission of enabling the most efficient and safe energy conversion. Heyday has raised €2M in private funding so far and targets 25% of the isolated gate driver market.
Two stage waveform relaxation method for the initial value problems of differential-algebraic equations

In this paper, we consider a two stage strategy for waveform relaxation (WR) iterations, applied to initial value problems for differential-algebraic equations (DAEs) in the form A y ̇ ( t ) + B y ( t ) = f ( t ) . Outer iterations of TSWR are defined by M A y ̇ ( k + 1 ) ( t ) + M 1 y ( k + 1 ) ( t ) = N 1 y ( k ) ( t ) + N A y ̇ ( k ) ( t ) + f ( t ) , where A = M A − N A , B = M 1 − N 1 , and each iteration y ( k + 1 ) ( t ) is computed using an inner iterative process, based on another splitting M 1 = M 2 − N 2 . Meanwhile, by the means of the Theta method, the discretized TSWR of DAEs is realized. Furthermore, when M A is an Hermitian positive semi-definite matrix with P -regular splittings, the convergence and the comparison theorems of TSWR are analyzed. Finally, the numerical experiments are presented.
IMPROVED SHOE

A tubing shoe (10) for use on work strings in well bores as are typically utilised in oil and gas production. The shoe comprises a cylindrical body (12) upon which is arranged a reaming portion (22) including pairs of teardrop shaped raised reaming members (26), each pair being mounted oppositely, in parallel and longitudinally along the body. Adjacent pairs of members provide a funnel (42) for collecting approaching debris and a channel for grinding the debris. A nose (14) may be mounted on the end of the shoe, the nose being eccentric or including cutting blades to assist the shoe in breaking through shale and clay stone bridges. A non-aggressive stabiliser (54) in the form of helically arranged blades may also be located on shoe.

CFTR Rearrangements in Spanish Cystic Fibrosis Patients: First New Duplication (35kb) Characterised in the Mediterranean Countries

Developments in quantitative PCR technologies have greatly improved our ability to detect large genome rearrangements. In particular oligonucleotide-based array comparative genomic hybridisation has become a useful tool for appropriate and rapid detection of breakpoints. In this work, we have analysed 80 samples (42 unknown CF alleles) applying three quantitative technologies (MLPA, qPCR and array-CGH) to detect recurrent as well as novel large rearrangements in the Spanish CF population. Three deletions and one duplication have been identified in five alleles (12%). Interestingly, we provide the comprehensive characterisation of the first duplication in our CF cohort. The new CFTRdupProm-3 mutation spans 35.7 kb involving the 5'-end of the CFTR gene. Additionally, the RNA analysis has revealed a cryptic sequence with a premature termination codon leading to a disrupted protein. This duplication has been identified in five unrelated families from Spain, France and Italy with all patients showing the same associated haplotype, which is further evidence for its likely common Mediterranean origin. Overall, considering this and other previous studies, CFTR rearrangements account for 1.3% of the Spanish CF alleles.
The Effect of Metal-Chelating Polymers (MCPs) for 111In Complexed via the Streptavidin-Biotin System to Trastuzumab Fab Fragments on Tumor and Normal Tissue Distribution in Mice

To study the effects of backbone composition and charge of biotin-functionalized metal-chelating polymers (Bi-MCPs) for (111)In complexed to streptavidin (SAv)-trastuzumab Fab fragments on tumor and normal tissue localization.Bi-MCPs were synthesized with a polyacrylamide [Bi-PAm(DTPA)(40)], polyaspartamide [Bi-PAsp(DTPA)(33)] or polyglutamide [Bi-PGlu(DTPA)(28)] backbone and harboured diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) chelators for (111)In. Bi-PAm(DTPA)(40) had a net negative charge; Bi-PAsp(DTPA)(33) and Bi-PGlu(DTPA)(28) were zwitterionic with a net neutral charge. Binding to HER2+ SKOV-3 human ovarian carcinoma cells was determined. Tissue uptake was studied in Balb/c mice by MicroSPECT/CT imaging and biodistribution studies. Tumor and normal tissue uptake of (111)In-labeled Bi-PAsp(DTPA)(33) or Bi-PGlu(DTPA)(28) complexed to SAv-Fab was evaluated 48 h post-injection in athymic mice with subcutaneous SKOV-3 xenografts.SAv-Fab complexed to MCPs bound specifically to SKOV-3 cells; but specific binding was decreased 2-fold. Liver uptake was 5-13 fold higher for Bi-PAm(DTPA)(40) than Bi-PAsp(DTPA)(33) and Bi-PGlu(DTPA)(28) but was reduced by decreasing negative charges by saturation with indium. (111)In-Bi-PAsp(DTPA)(33) complexed to SAv-Fab accumulated in SKOV-3 tumors; low tumor uptake was found for (111)In-Bi-PGlu(DTPA)(28)-SAv-Fab.Zwitterionic MCPs composed of polyaspartamide with a net neutral charge are most desirable for constructing radioimmunoconjugates.

Identification of subgroups of patients with type 2 diabetes with differences in renal function preservation, comparing patients receiving sodium‐glucose co‐transporter‐2 inhibitors with those receiving dipeptidyl peptidase‐4 inhibitors, using a supervised machine‐learning algorithm (PROFILE study): A retrospective analysis of a Japanese commercial medical database

AIMS To investigate the effects of sodium-glucose co-transporter-2 (SGLT2) inhibitors vs. dipeptidyl peptidase-4 (DPP-4) inhibitors on renal function preservation (RFP) using real-world data of patients with type 2 diabetes in Japan, and to identify which subgroups of patients obtained greater RFP benefits with SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP-4 inhibitors. METHODS We retrospectively analysed claims data recorded in the Medical Data Vision database in Japan of patients with type 2 diabetes (aged ≥18 years) prescribed any SGLT2 inhibitor or any DPP-4 inhibitor between May 2014 and September 2016 (identification period), in whom estimated glomerular filtration rate (eGFR) was measured at least twice (baseline, up to 6 months before the index date; follow-up, 9 to 15 months after the index date) with continuous treatment until the follow-up eGFR. The endpoint was the percentage of patients with RFP, defined as no change or an increase in eGFR from baseline to follow-up. A proprietary supervised learning algorithm (Q-Finder; Quinten, Paris, France) was used to identify the profiles of patients with an additional RFP benefit of SGLT2 inhibitors vs. DPP-4 inhibitors. RESULTS Data were available for 990 patients prescribed SGLT2 inhibitors and 4257 prescribed DPP-4 inhibitors. The proportion of patients with RFP was significantly greater in the SGLT2 inhibitor group (odds ratio 1.27; P = 0.01). The Q-Finder algorithm identified four clinically relevant subgroups showing superior RFP with SGLT2 inhibitors (P < 0.1): no hyperlipidaemia and eGFR ≥79 mL/min/1.73 m2 ; eGFR ≥79 mL/min/1.73 m2 and diabetes duration ≤1.2 years; eGFR ≥75 mL/min/1.73 m2 and use of antithrombotic agents; and haemoglobin ≤13.4 g/dL and LDL cholesterol ≥95.1 mg/dL. In each profile, glycaemic control was similar in the two groups. CONCLUSION SGLT2 inhibitors were associated with more favourable RFP vs. DPP-4 inhibitors in patients with certain profiles in real-world settings in Japan.
Potentiality of IMAC as Sample Pretreatment Tool in Food Analysis for Veterinary Drugs

Immobilized metal ion affinity chromatography (IMAC) was evaluated as a sample pretreatment tool for residual veterinary drugs (VDs) in food. A test of six cations for the IMAC efficiency revealed that Cu2+ and Fe3+ were suitable in retaining tetracyclines, quinolones (QLs: fluoroquinolones, acid quinolones), macrolides, β-lactams, and aminoglycosides, but ineffective for sulfonamides and hormones. These results showed the IMAC had great potential for a multiclass multiresidual VDs analysis in a simple and selective way. This methodology was applied on milk analysis for eleven QLs, involving extraction with (1:1) acetonitrile/methanol and IMAC with Fe3+. Averaged recoveries ranged from 68 to 93% and limits of quantitation from 2 to 26 ng mL−1. Ten commercial milk samples were found to be free from the QLs.
Governing resource urbanisation (grout): multi-stakeholder governance of extractive industries in the era of planetary urbanisation

GROUT will address the governance challenges posed by mining projects advancing close to urban areas. Europe is making a concerted effort to increase a sustainable supply of minerals from European sources, This project will improve knowledge and expertise on the governance of these urbanising frontiers. This fellowship will be carried out in the Centre for Social Responsibility in Mining (CSRM) at University of Queensland (UQ), Australia, under the supervision of Dr. Jo-Anne Everingham, expert in governance studies. After two years I will return to the Institute of Science and Environmental Technology at the Autonomous University of Barcelona (ICTA-UAB), Spain, under the supervision of Prof. Isabelle Anguelovski, head of the Lab for Urban Environmental Justice and Sustainability. Through the study of a Coal Seam Gas extraction project in the outskirts of Sydney I will innovatively combine qualitative (in-depth interviews and participant observation) and participative (World Cafe) methodologies to analyse the transformations of subjects and institutions through the analysis of power relations and environmental justice. By bringing together the inter-disciplinary fields of political ecology of extractive industries (my own expertise) with resource governance and critical urban studies (training plan) I will advance theory and analysis in the new theoretical field of Resource Urbanisation Governance (RUG). I will place special emphasis in understanding the transformations affecting women (narratives and demands, power imbalances and consequences). My training plan will include training on resource governance (at CSRM), critical urban-studies (at ICTA-UAB and UQ), Environmental Justice (ICTA-UAB and University of Sydney) and transferable skills such as gender research, facilitation, communication, project management. These will be of extreme importance for the communication and dissemination of project results and to achieve the goals of my Career Development Plan.
CMOS PROCESS

A high-voltage MOS transistor is produced in a low-voltage CMOS process without adding extra process steps for producing the high-voltage MOS transistor. The high-voltage MOS transistor is to be used as an analog line driver and is produced on the same silicon area as low-voltage AD/DA- converters. Hereby, the low-voltage and the high-voltage design block are directly compatible with each other, e.g. have the same threshold voltages, which simplifies the design of the total solution.
How do people perceive, understand, and anticipate responding to flash flood risks and warnings? Results from a public survey in Boulder, Colorado, USA

This study investigates flash flood forecast and warning communication, interpretation, and decision making, using data from a survey of 418 members of the public in Boulder, Colorado, USA. Respondents to the public survey varied in their perceptions and understandings of flash flood risks in Boulder, and some had misconceptions about flash flood risks, such as the safety of crossing fast-flowing water. About 6% of respondents indicated consistent reversals of US watch-warning alert terminology. However, more in-depth analysis illustrates the multi-dimensional, situationally dependent meanings of flash flood alerts, as well as the importance of evaluating interpretation and use of warning information along with alert terminology. Some public respondents estimated low likelihoods of flash flooding given a flash flood warning; these were associated with lower anticipated likelihood of taking protective action given a warning. Protective action intentions were also lower among respondents who had less trust in flash flood warnings, those who had not made prior preparations for flash flooding, and those who believed themselves to be safer from flash flooding. Additional analysis, using open-ended survey questions about responses to warnings, elucidates the complex, contextual nature of protective decision making during flash flood threats. These findings suggest that warnings can play an important role not only by notifying people that there is a threat and helping motivate people to take protective action, but also by helping people evaluate what actions to take given their situation.
Assistants for healthy, safe, and productive virtual construction design, operation & maintenance using a digitial twin

Ashvin aims at enabling the European construction industry to significantly improve its productivity, while reducing cost and ensuring absolutely safe work conditions, by providing a proposal for a European wide digital twin standard, an open source digital twin platform integrating IoT and image technologies, and a set of tools and demonstrated procedures to apply the platform and the standard proven to guarantee specified productivity, cost, and safety improvements. The envisioned platform will provide a digital representation of the construction product at hand and allow to collect real-time digital data before, during, and after production of the product to continuously monitor changes in the environment and within the production process. Based on the platform, Ashvin will develop and demonstrate applications that use the digital twin data. These applications will allow it to fully leverage the potential of the IoT based digital twin platform to reach the expected impacts (better scheduling forecast by 20%; better allocation of resources and optimization of equipment usage; reduced number of accidents; reduction of construction projects). The Ashvin solutions will overcome worker protection and privacy issues that come with the tracking of construction activities, provide means to fuse video data and sensor data, integrate geo-monitoring data, provide multi-physics simulation methods for digital representing the behavior of a product (not only its shape), provide evidence based engineering methods to design for productivity and safety, provide 4D simulation and visualization methods of construction processes, and develop a lean planning process supported by real-time data. All innovations will be demonstrated on 10 real-world construction projects across Europe. The Ashvin consortium combines strong R&I players from 11 EU member states with strong expertise in construction and engineering management, digital twin technology, IoT, and data security / privacy.

Pénélope in the Press, 1913: The Early Critical Reception of Gabriel Fauré's Only Opera

Title of Document: PENELOPE IN THE PRESS, 1913: THE EARLY CRITICAL RECEPTION OF GABRIEL FAURE’S ONLY OPERA Jenny Marie Houghton, MA 2012 Directed By: Professor Olga Haldey, School of Music Gabriel Faure’s single full-scale opera, Penelope, has been virtually forgotten since it premiered in 1913. This thesis provides the first detailed account of Penelope’s critical reception during the year of its premiere. Given that the opera was received enthusiastically by the press, many Faure scholars have blamed the opera’s demise on poor timing. Close examination of the 1913 reviews reveals, however, a deep-seeded bias on the part of the press. By the time Penelope premiered, Faure was an influential and beloved member of the French musical community. Thus, we find that the reviews are as much a tribute to his personal character as they are an assessment of his opera. By properly contextualizing the reviews, we gain a clearer understanding of Penelope’s true merits and weaknesses, which may help guide a future for the work in the twenty-first
Capitalising Climate Change Knowledge for Adaptation in the Alpine Space

C3-Alps will synthesize, transfer and implement in policy and practice results of previous Alpine Space projects on climate change adaptation. The capitalisation approach aims at a) generating new and directly usable forms of state-of-the-art synthesis adaptation knowledge in the Alps, harmonised across sectors and useful to adaptation decision-makers, b) its effective and tailor-made communication and transfer to target groups, c) enhancing effectiveness of adaptation policy and governance frameworks, and d) initiating, supporting and pioneering tailored and cross-cutting adaptation processes, strategies, action plans and decision support in pilot regions and municipalities. To leverage sustainable impacts, the project will be driven by the information and user needs of target groups. By supporting bottom-up action, C3-Alps will contribute to implementation of national adaptation policies on regional and municipal levels and to advancement of national adaptation strategies.
Studying critical string emerging from non-Abelian vortex in four dimensions

Recently a special vortex string was found [5] in a class of soliton vortices supported in four-dimensional Yang-Mills theories that under certain conditions can become infinitely thin and can be interpreted as a critical ten-dimensional string. The appropriate bulk Yang-Mills theory has the U(2) gauge group and the Fayet-Iliopoulos term. It supports semilocal non-Abelian vortices with the world-sheet theory for orientational and size moduli described by the weighted CP(2,2) model. The full target space is R_4\times Y_6 where Y_6 is a non-compact Calabi-Yau space. We study the above vortex string from the standpoint of string theory, focusing on the massless states in four dimensions. In the generic case all massless modes are non-normalizable, hence, no massless gravitons or vector fields are predicted in the physical spectrum. However, at the selfdual point (at strong coupling) weighted CP(2,2) admits deformation of the complex structure, resulting in a single massless hypermultiplet in the bulk. We interpret it as a composite "baryon."
