Combined hybrid solution of metal hydride and mechanical compressors for extra large scale hydrogen refuelling stations

Hydrogen mobility is one of the most promising solutions for a sustainable energy transition in large-scale transport modes, including trucks, busses, trains and professional vehicle fleets. For these applications, a dedicated hydrogen refuelling infrastructure is necessary, including hydrogen compressors able to meet challenging constraints in terms of flow rate and availability. The COSMHYC XL project aims at developing an innovative compression solution for extra large hydrogen refuelling stations, based on the combination of a metal hydride compressor and a diaphragm compressor. The solution will be scalable and modular and will therefore be adapted to the diversity of large-scale mobility applications. The combination of both technologies will provide a cost efficient solution, by reducing both the investment and the maintenance costs. Thanks to significant research and innovation activities, from core materials and components to system integration, the new compression solution will contain no critical raw materials. The hydrogen flow rates will be drastically increased, as well as the overall compression ratio. In addition, the reliability and availability of hydrogen refuelling stations will be significantly improved. An innovative system integration concept will enable to optimise the thermal synergies between both compressors and lead to an improved electrical efficiency by more than 30%, thereby contributing to reduce the production costs of hydrogen and making it a competitive fuel for large-scale mobility. COSMHYC XL will include the development of a 1/10 scale prototype, and a long-term test phase of 6 months under real conditions. Techno-economic analysis will be performed and an advisory committee will support the partners to better understand the needs of the market. Extensive communication, dissemination and exploitation activities will take place and maximise the economic, environmental and societal impacts of the project.
Enzymatic synthesis of L-tryptophan from D,L-2-amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid and indole by Pseudomonas sp. TS1138 L-2-amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid hydrolase, S-carbamyl-L-cysteine amidohydrolase and Escherichia coli L-tryptophanase

L-Tryptophan (L-Trp) is an essential amino acid. It is widely used in medical, health and food products, so a low-cost supply is needed. There are 4 methods for L-Trp production: chemical synthesis, extraction, enzymatic synthesis, and fermentation. In this study, we produced a recombinant bacterial strain pET-tnaA of Escherichia coli which has the L-tryptophanase gene. Using the pET-tnaA E. coli and the strain TS1138 of Pseudomonas sp., a one-pot enzymatic synthesis of L-Trp was developed. Pseudomonas sp. TS1138 was added to a solution of D,L-2-amino-Δ2-thiazoline-4-carboxylic acid (DL-ATC) to convert it to L-cysteine (L-Cys). After concentration, E. coli BL21 (DE 3) cells including plasmid pET-tnaA, indole, and pyridoxal 5’-phosphate were added. At the optimum conditions, the conversion rates of DL-ATC and L-Cys were 95.4% and 92.1%, respectively. After purifying using macroporous resin S8 and NKA-II, 10.32 g of L-Trp of 98.3% purity was obtained. This study established methods for one-pot enzymatic synthesis and separation of L-Trp. This method of producing L-Trp is more environmentally sound than methods using chemical synthesis, and it lays the foundations for industrial production of L-Trp from dl-ATC and indole.
Noncontrast Computed Tomography vs Computed Tomography Perfusion or Magnetic Resonance Imaging Selection in Late Presentation of Stroke With Large-Vessel Occlusion

Advanced imaging for patient selection in mechanical thrombectomy is not widely available.To compare the clinical outcomes of patients selected for mechanical thrombectomy by noncontrast computed tomography (CT) vs those selected by computed tomography perfusion (CTP) or magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) in the extended time window.This multinational cohort study included consecutive patients with proximal anterior circulation occlusion stroke presenting within 6 to 24 hours of time last seen well from January 2014 to December 2020. This study was conducted at 15 sites across 5 countries in Europe and North America. The duration of follow-up was 90 days from stroke onset.Computed tomography with Alberta Stroke Program Early CT Score, CTP, or MRI.The primary end point was the distribution of modified Rankin Scale (mRS) scores at 90 days (ordinal shift). Secondary outcomes included the rates of 90-day functional independence (mRS scores of 0-2), symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage, and 90-day mortality.Of 2304 patients screened for eligibility, 1604 patients were included, with a median (IQR) age of 70 (59-80) years; 848 (52.9%) were women. A total of 534 patients were selected to undergo mechanical thrombectomy by CT, 752 by CTP, and 318 by MRI. After adjustment of confounders, there was no difference in 90-day ordinal mRS shift between patients selected by CT vs CTP (adjusted odds ratio [aOR], 0.95 [95% CI, 0.77-1.17]; P = .64) or CT vs MRI (aOR, 0.95 [95% CI, 0.8-1.13]; P = .55). The rates of 90-day functional independence (mRS scores 0-2 vs 3-6) were similar between patients selected by CT vs CTP (aOR, 0.90 [95% CI, 0.7-1.16]; P = .42) but lower in patients selected by MRI than CT (aOR, 0.79 [95% CI, 0.64-0.98]; P = .03). Successful reperfusion was more common in the CT and CTP groups compared with the MRI group (474 [88.9%] and 670 [89.5%] vs 250 [78.9%]; P < .001). No significant differences in symptomatic intracranial hemorrhage (CT, 42 [8.1%]; CTP, 43 [5.8%]; MRI, 15 [4.7%]; P = .11) or 90-day mortality (CT, 125 [23.4%]; CTP, 159 [21.1%]; MRI, 62 [19.5%]; P = .38) were observed.In patients undergoing proximal anterior circulation mechanical thrombectomy in the extended time window, there were no significant differences in the clinical outcomes of patients selected with noncontrast CT compared with those selected with CTP or MRI. These findings have the potential to widen the indication for treating patients in the extended window using a simpler and more widespread noncontrast CT-only paradigm.
應用於H 264/AVC的平行處理式解方塊濾波器

Due to the rapid spread of Internet, multimedia plays an important role in daily life. H.264/AVC is a newly video compression standard, compared with the past standards, it has high compression efficiency, but also makes its high computational complexity.
 In the image compression process, the image always have a problem with distortion, and the most obvious phenomenon in the H.264 is the blocking artifact, in order to reduce the blocking artifact, H.264 adapted the deblocking filter as its main block in the decoder loop, it helps to increase the image quality. In this thesis, we proposed the parallel processing deblocking filter architecture, compared to the traditional deblocking filter, it cost less clock cycles processing a maroblock, and moreover, due to the data reuse, it reduces the memory requirement effectively. We need only 160 cycles to process a macroblock, and 11.89K gate counts needed.

Short- and long-term forecasting by the Netherlands Bureau for Economic Policy Analysis (CPB)

CPB forecasts for the next year and for the next period of government should be seen as well-motivated estimates based on all recent information, plausible assumptions and expected trends. These assumptions and trends are partly based on econometric estimation methods and insights from economic theory. However, the economy is a chaotic system in which small events can have major effects at short notice. Even when major uncertainties and risks are well understood, it remains impossible to indicate where and when a little spark will kindle a great fire or when the bubble in (e.g.) the housing or stock market will burst. The more distant the look into the future, the more uncertain are the forecasts. For such long-term analyses, the CPB employs scenarios, extended sensitivity analyses and identification of major political choices. Policy making is like sailing in fog. The regular set of CPB forecasts helps to look forward and to monitor whether a change of course is necessary. Despite fundamental uncertainty about the future, the CPB forecasts provide a good base for political discussions and decision making, like a coalition agreement, budget and wage rate negotiations and defining a long-term policy strategy. These forecasts inform Dutch society, reduce transaction costs in economic and political decision making, and foster consensus on economic and fiscal policy.
Mobility and intelligent ticketing

The aim of MOBIMART PLUS is to study and test an integrated cross-border intermodal ticketing service to support multi-modal transport between regions and with islands, improving the connectivity of secondary and tertiary nodes to the TEN-T networks. The concept of tariff integration was included in the 2001 White Paper on transport policy and has since been reaffirmed in European, national and regional strategies and planning documents; this is an ambitious goal, especially at cross-border level. Creating multi-modal passenger transport services and improving connections to the TEN-T networks, including the islands, would overcome the poor level of integration of transport systems that can currently be seen across the various countries, allowing citizens, commuters and tourists to move around within a cross-border area using different modes of transport (sea, rail and road). The goal of MOBIMART PLUS is therefore to promote a shared vision among the competent bodies in order to facilitate multi-modal travel. It is necessary to study tariff systems (T1 Component) and the electronic ticketing systems that already exist or are in the process of being developed (T2 Component) in order to define the contents of the pilot schemes (T3 Component) and to facilitate the future implementation of a cross-border pricing system and an integrated platform able to interact with the various local ticketing systems. The pilot initiatives will test out solutions that are deemed to be feasible, the results of which, together with the studies of the T1 and T2 Components, will contribute to defining shared tools to support the competent bodies, aimed at concluding agreements that improve accessibility in the cross-border area, facilitate the purchase of tickets (‘one-stop shop’) and people’s travel and, in general, improve the connection of tertiary nodes to the secondary nodes of the TEN-T network.
Elastic pad for under-rail

A pad for underneath rails is made from elastic plastic or rubber and has two opposite sides characterized in that at least one of these sides is a surface which is at least partly defined by a simple and/or composite trigonometric sinusoidal and/or cosinusoidal function. This provides protrusions (3) and cavities (4) that are arranged alternately and change softly into another. The elastic pad may be used in railway tracks as an element attenuating vibrations and absorbing dynamic loads transmitted by vehicles to rails.
Numerical and experimental investigations on a metallic fuselage model with apertures

In this paper the coupling of fields into the interior of a cylindrical metallic cavity with apertures is investigated, both numerically and experimentally. The question arises whether and to what extent the internal field distribution can be determined in a method of moments (MoM) based simulation. It is known from literature that the classical electric field integral equation (EFIE) approach is not able to provide a zero field inside a completely closed body. Hence the in-coupled fields may become distorted by the superposition of spurious solutions also in the presence of small apertures. It will be demonstrated that an integral equation approach which is based on two different electric current layers provides solutions which are in a good agreement with measured results. The obtained results are interpreted with respect to EMC requirements in aircraft.
From museums to everywhere: nubart's highly innovative audio guides are looking for new verticals

85 % of museums in Europe are currently not providing an audio guide service to their visitors due to the high expenses and maintenance they require. 
Digital Tangible SL, founded in Barcelona, developed in 2016 an innovative audio guide concept named “Nubart” to allow even small and medium museums to offer a profitable audio guide. Visitors use cards with unique codes to stream the content directly to their smartphone, not having to download any app. Thanks to Nubart’s Light Weight Content Protection (LOCP) technology, the access to the content is protected, making the audio guides commercially profitable, securing the user's privacy and protecting licensed digital content. Neither expensive maintenance nor other troubles are involved. 
But most importantly: Nubart audio guides also provide rich usage data and visitor’s feedback that traditional competitors are unable to register, allowing the museum to develop new commercial strategies to attract more visitors by improving its exhibitions.  And the cards are a nice collectible item for visitors, who can also access the content at home after the visit. 
Since the launch of Nubart in 2016 we manage to get 18 customers (mostly museums) in 7 countries. Now that our product is market-validated in the museum sector in Europe, it is time for us to look for new verticals, unleashing the power of audio guides by bringing them out of museums to natural parks, real-estate, cruises... SME-Instrument phase 1 will help us to identify the most suitable new verticals and new technological requirements.
Nitrous oxide emissions in response to ESN and urea, herbicide management and canola cultivar in a no-till cropping system

Abstract Environmentally Smart Nitrogen (ESN), a type of polymer-coated urea, synchronizes N release with crop demand to increase N use efficiency and potentially reduce N2O emissions. This study investigated the effects of ESN and weed management on N2O emissions from soil under a canola (Brassica napus L.) no-till cropping system. The experiment was conducted from 2005 to 2008 at three sites: Lethbridge, Lacombe, and Beaverlodge, located in southern, central and northern Alberta, Canada. Treatments included a hybrid and an open-pollinated canola cultivar, with ESN and urea applied at 1 and 1.5 times (×) the recommended rate, and herbicide at 50 and 100% of registered in-crop application rates. Canola was grown in rotation with barley (Hordeum vulgare L.) and both phases of crop rotation were present each year. The N2O fluxes from soil were measured using vented static chambers at 2-week intervals during the growing season from 2006 to 2008. Except for a few occasions with higher fluxes from urea than ESN earlier in the growing season and higher fluxes from ESN than urea later on, N2O fluxes were similar among all treatments for all three years and three sites. The N2O fluxes also varied over the growing season, and peak flux occurred in response to rainfall events. Similarly, cumulative N2O emissions, expressed as either per land area or per canola seed yield, over the three growing seasons were low (0.15–2.97 kg N ha−1 yr−1 or 0.05–1.19 g N kg−1 seed) for all treatments and sites, and unaffected by weed management or crop variety (P > 0.05). The N2O emission across the three sites from ESN averaged 20% lower (P = 0.040) than from urea although the differences between fertilizer types or application rates were not significant (P > 0.05) at each site. Elevated N2O emissions (72% higher; P = 0.028) from 1.5 × ESN (0.83 kg N ha−1 yr−1 or 0.33 g N kg−1 seed) relative to 1 × ESN (0.26 kg N ha−1 yr−1 or 0.16 g N kg−1 seed) were only observed at Beaverlodge while emissions were similar (P > 0.05) at the other two sites. The higher N2O emissions at 1.5 × ESN at Beaverlodge were due to excess N accumulation in soil caused by unfavourable weather conditions that reduced canola N uptake and yield. Our results suggest that ESN fertilizer could reduce N2O emissions in Alberta, Canada, but reductions will depend on rainfall events and canola N utilization.

Glucorticoid receptor in human cutaneous melanoma: immunohistochemical and immunofluorescence study

GR is a nuclear receptor which, when activated by its specific ligand, can act as a transcription factor that binds to glucocorticoid response elements (GRE) or negative GRE. It affects inflammatory responses, differentiation and cell proliferation. The ligand activated glucocorticoid receptor induces a G1 cell cycle arrest or apoptosis in immature thymocytes and impairs proliferation of fibroblasts of undifferentiated mammary epithelial cells. It impairs proliferation and differentiation of neural progenitor cells in vivo and in vitro. Glucocorticoids are widely used in cancer therapy and have cell type-specific pro- or antiapoptotic effects. In melanoma, however, the antitumor activity of glucocorticoids remains an open question. A recent report demonstrated that in mouse embryo tissue and in human undifferentiated cells, cytoplasmic accumulation of GR is determined by nestin in conjunction with vimentin, copolymerised into an intermediate filament system, and that this anchoring of GR to the nestin/vimentin etheromeric complex is related to the maintenance of a high proliferation rate. The aim of this study was to analyse the expression of subcellular GR in cutaneous melanoma by immunofluorescence, immunohistochemistry and laser scanning confocal microscopy and to evaluate any effect in melanoma progression. The results will be discussed.

Resection surgical laser appts. - has organ clamping jaws with slot and groove reflecting laser beam

The surgical apparatus has a laser light source at the input end of a light conductor, whose output end has a collector lens. Clamping jaws (2, 3) of material impermeable to laser beams, compress the walls of a hollow organ (4) of a human being or animal from opposite sides along a line. A slide, also impermeable to laser beams (11), travels along a guide, and carries the outlet end of the light conductor (12) with collector lens (13). A slot is formed in one of the jaws along the line for the laser beam to reach the compressed organ, its walls reflecting the beam to a high degree. There is a groove in the other jaw opposite the slot, also reflecting and diffusing the beam. When the organ is compressed, the slot walls, groove and slide form a closed passage for the beam to its compressed part.
