Factors affecting degradation of dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by fluidized-bed Fenton process

In this study, the target compound is dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), which is used as a photoresist stripping solvent in the semiconductor and thin-film transistor liquid crystal display (TFT-LCD) manufacturing processes. The effects of the operating parameters (pH, Fe(2+) and H2O2 concentrations) on the degradation of DMSO in the fluidized-bed Fenton process were examined. This study used the Box-Behnken design (BBD) to investigate the optimum conditions of DMSO degradation. The highest DMSO removal was 98 % for pH 3, when the H2O2 to Fe(2+) molar ratio was 12. At pH 2 and 4, the highest DMSO removal was 82 %, when the H2O2 to Fe(2+) molar ratio was 6.5. The correlation of DMSO removal showed that the effect of the parameters on DMSO removal followed the order Fe(2+) > H2O2 > pH. From the BBD prediction, the optimum conditions were pH 3, 5 mM of Fe(2+), and 60 mM of H2O2. The difference between the experimental value (98 %) and the predicted value (96 %) was not significant. The removal efficiencies of DMSO, chemical oxygen demand (COD), total organic carbon (TOC), and iron in the fluidized-bed Fenton process were higher than those in the traditional Fenton process.
Beyond precision cosmology:  dealing with systematic errors

Over the past 20 years cosmology has made the transition to a precision science: the standard cosmological model has been established and its parameters are now measured with unprecedented precision. But precision is not enough: accuracy is also crucial. Accuracy accounts for systematic errors which can be both on the observational and on the theory/modelling side (and everywhere in between). While there is a well-defined and developed framework for treating statistical errors, there is no established approach for systematic errors. The next decade will see the era of large surveys; a large coordinated effort of the scientific community in the field is on-going to map the cosmos producing an exponentially growing amount of data. This will shrink the statistical errors, making mitigation and control of systematics of the utmost importance. While there are isolated and targeted efforts to quantify systematic errors and propagate them through all the way to the final results, there is no well-established, self-consistent methodology. To go beyond precision cosmology and reap the benefits of the forthcoming observational program, a systematic approach to systematics is needed. Systematics should be interpreted in the most general sense as shifts between the recovered measured values and true values of physical quantities. I propose to develop a comprehensive approach to tackle systematic errors with the goal to uncover and quantify otherwise unknown differences between the interpretation of a measurement and reality. This will require  to  fully develop, combine and systematize all approaches proposed so far (many pioneered by the PI), develop new ones to fill the gaps, study and explore their interplay and finally test and validate the procedure. Beyond Precision Cosmology: Dealing with Systematic Errors (BePreSysE) will develop a  framework to deal with systematics in forthcoming Cosmological surveys which, could, in principle, be applied beyond Cosmology.
Motive des Ausbruchs und des Aufbruchs in den Hörspielen Ingeborg Bachmanns

Bachman wrote only three radio plays, all of them in the fifties of the XXth century. In spite of different settings, all of them have the same topic: escape from society (either into dream or to an island or to the isolation of a couple wishing to live only for love) and utopia. In the first and third play the male protagonists fail however, unable to give up their bourgeois lives. In the third play the female protagonist is a victim of her ability to love without restrictions. This locates The Good God of Manhattan close to the feminist prose of Bachmanns later years. In the second radio play, The Cikadas, the existence on an island separated from society is judged in the negative. All attempts to win utopian happiness end with defeat; although they are valued differently, they show that in spite of all efforts mankind is not able to reach the ideal of truth and love.
Heritage path, castles crossing

"This project is part of the plan PARCOURS": As part of the plan, the project aims to complement the other single projects and intends to enhance some sites of the construction heritage, able to expand the local tourist offer, rich in natural routes and sporting activities (Espace Mont Blanc). The aim is to stimulate the attractiveness of the cross-border area by guiding visitors in their discovery of this cross-border territory, its resources and specificities. In this context, the expected results provide positive socio-economic benefits in the territory concerned.

This plan, supported by the Departmental Council of the Hautes-Savoie, is integrated in the field of Mont-Blanc’s Space. This plan covers a large part of Mont-Blanc’s Space and goes over peripheric territories, where tourism is less developed. This Plan cover 71 towns and 200 000 inhabitants, a territory which have a natural heritage clearly defined (natural park, 9 natural reserves, 13 protected areas) and valorised yet from a touristic point of view (400 paths for biking or walking). The PITER wants to promote this natural and cultural heritage to enforce local development, including low valleys.

Personalisierte Medizin bei der rheumatoiden Arthritis

Nowadays B and T-cell directed biologics in addition to TNF inhibitors are established as effective and safe treatment options for rheumatoid arthritis. As shown by the approval of rituximab for the treatment of systemic vasculitis, these drugs can also be useful for the treatment of other systemic autoimmune diseases; however, to optimize therapeutic strategies, predictive factors for treatment response as well as a good characterized safety profile are essential. So far implementation of real personalized medicine is not feasible in the field of rheumatology, but first biomarkers have already been identified and provide promising results. In this context, it has been shown that a B-cell directed therapy with rituximab is more effective in seropositive patients with rheumatoid arthritis. In addition, characterization of the cytokine milieu as well as of circulating and tissue infiltrating B and T-cell subsets might be useful for prediction of treatment response in the near future.
Cross-correlation of bio-signals using continuous wavelet transform and genetic algorithm

Continuous wavelet transform allows to obtain time-frequency representation of a signal and analyze short-lived temporal interaction of concurrent processes. That offers good localization in both time and frequency domain. Scalogram and coscalogram analysis of two signal interaction dynamics gives an indication of the cross-correlation of analyzed signals in both domains.We have used genetic algorithm with a fitness function based on signals convolution to find time delay between investigated signals. Two methods of cross-correlation are proposed: one that finds single delay for analyzed signals, and one returns a vector of delay values for each of wavelet transform sub-band center frequencies. Algorithms were implemented using MATLAB.We have extracted the data of simultaneously recorded encephalogram and arterial blood pressure and have investigated their interaction dynamics. We found time delay whose value cannot be precisely determined by scalograms and coscalogram inspection. The biomedical signals used come from MIMIC database.Cross-correlation of two complex signals is commonly performed using fast Fourier transform. It works well for signals with invariant frequency content. We have determined the time delay between analyzed signals using wavelet scalograms and we have accordingly shifted one of them, aligning associated events. Their coscalogram indicates the cross-correlation of the associated events.Introducing new methods of wavelet transform in cross-correlation analysis has proven to be beneficial to the gain of the information about process interaction. Introduced solutions could be used to reason about causality between processes and gain bigger insight regarding analyzed systems.
The coastal sites of the Upper Adriatic arch: topographic surveys on land and at sea

This project envisages a systematic research on Roman and Medieval structures, which have been partially or totally submerged and on the finds in the area lying behind, along the coast strip between the mouth of the Timavo river and Piran-Pirano. This initiative is consolidated by the new prospects for research, conservation, enhancement and use of the archaeological sites: the landscape archaeology, aims at restoring the integrity and the common identity of landscape. To profit from the acquired knowledge, the project envisages the preparation of material to be used both inside the museums and outside, in the framework of a Coastal Archaeological Park or Itinerary related to land and underwater tourism. A series of teaching aids is going to be provided to the schools located in the territory: aerial mosaics provided with information about the location of port structures, photographs, explanations on the survey techniques used, the reconstruction of the coast with the various landings and port facilities, a computer console (a 3D reconstruction of the coast, attempts to reconstruct the same structures, etc.). All these instruments are major reference points in the tourist-cultural itinerary deriving from the research, and running from the mouth of the Timavo river to Sicciole saltworks. The project also envisages the preparation of informative material to be placed next to the studied sites, in a mirror-like relationship between the sites and the museum sections.

Variation in General Price Level in Pakistan: A Recent Evidence by Using ARDL Approach (1974-2016)

The main purpose of this study to investigate the impact of the bank rate, budget deficit, FDI and money supply M2 on inflation in the case of Pakistan applying the ARDL model using yearly data from 1974-2016. The Experimental evidence highlight that there is a unique and stable relationship among dependent variable inflation and other different explanatory variables, bank rate, budget deficit, Foreign investment, GDP, Exchange rate and trade openness. After analysis, the result of ARDL indicates that bank rate, exchange rate, and GDP have a negative impact on inflation in the long-run co-efficient. On the other hand, budget deficit, FDI, Money supply M2 and trade openness have a positive impact on inflation. These two tests CUSUM and CUSUMSQ shed light on validates and stability of coefficients in this approach.
Experimental evidence for lamellar magnetism in hemo-ilmenite by polarized neutron scattering

Large local anomalies in the Earth's magnetic field have been observed in Norway, Sweden, and Canada. These anomalies have been attributed to the unusual magnetic properties of naturally occurring hemo-ilmenite, consisting of a paramagnetic ilmenite host (α-Fe2O3-bearing FeTiO3) with exsolution lamellae (≈3μm thick) of canted antiferromagnetic hematite (FeTiO3-bearing α-Fe2O3) and the mutual exsolutions of the same phases on the micron to nanometer scale. The origin of stable natural remanent magnetization (NRM) in this system has been proposed to be uncompensated magnetic moments in the contact layers between the exsolution lamellae. This lamellar magnetism hypothesis is tested here by using polarized neutron diffraction to measure the orientation of hematite spins as a function of an applied magnetic field in a natural single crystal of hemo-ilmenite from South Rogaland, Norway. Polarized neutron diffraction clearly shows that the ilmenite spins do not contribute to the NRM and that hematite spins account for the full magnetization at ambient temperature. Hematite sublattice spins are shown to adopt an average angle of 56∘ with respect to a saturating magnetic field, which is intermediate between the angle of 90∘ predicted for a pure canted moment and the angle of 0∘ predicted for a pure lamellar moment. The observed NRM is consistent with the vector sum of lamellar magnetism and canted antiferromagnetic contributions. The relative importance of the two contributions varies with the length scale of the microstructure, with the lamellar contribution increasing when exsolution occurs predominantly at the nanometer rather than the micrometer scale.
Ultraestructura en la etapa larval vitelina de Brycon moorei (Steindachner 1878) producida en un sistema con recirculación de agua

Introducción. Brycon moorei (Dorada) es una especie endémica de la cuenca del río Magdalena con una fuerte presión pesquera comercial, deportiva y de consumo. Sin embargo, es considerada altamente vulnerable por la pérdida de sus hábitats. Objetivo. Observar y determinar algunas estructuras del estado larval usando Microscopía Electrónica de Barrido (MEB). Materiales y métodos. En un sistema de recirculación de agua se obtuvieron larvas por reproducción seminatural usando extracto de hipófisis de carpa (EHC). Para la visualización en MEB, 10 larvas a diferentes tiempos de desarrollo fueron fijadas en solución de Karnovsky, siguiendo los protocolos internos del Centro de Microscopía Avanzada (CAM) de la Universidad de Antioquia. Resultados. De la inducción hormonal se obtuvieron ovocitos de 1110.7±97.3 μm de diámetro; el tiempo de latencia fue de 6 horas a una temperatura de 26°C; la longitud total y el peso de la larva recién eclosionada fue de 3,05±0,05 mm y 1,8±0,2 mg respectivamente. Las observaciones en MEB muestran células del pavimento que tapizan el cuerpo en la eclosión; neuromastos, el primordio del sistema branquial, células olfativas ciliadas y la glándula de cemento. El sistema de recirculación permitió mantener las condiciones de calidad de agua dentro del confort de la especie, asegurando sobrevivencias larvales del 95 %. Conclusiones. Las microfotografías de MEB permitieron determinar estructuras como células especializadas asociadas a su comportamiento caníbal (olfato, detección de ondas) y otras relacionadas con su hábitat (glándula de cemento). A su vez el sistema de recirculación permite un adecuado manejo ambiental de las larvas.
ACTUATOR SUPPORT SYSTEM

A bed assembly (10) includes a sub-frame (12) and a configurable mattress support frame member (14). A plurality of electrically operated actuators (30-38) are hingedly coupled at one end to a respective pivotable or movable frame member or strut and at the other end to the sub-frame (14). The sub-frame (14) is of a rectangular form, provided by four connected frame struts (40-46). Within the rectangular frame there is a support member (50) which is formed of a plurality of sections (52-56) arranged substantially at right angles to one another. The support structure (50) allows for many actuators (30-38) to be located within the sub-frame (14) in a very compact form. It also allows for relatively simple electrical connection to the actuators (30-38).

Micro-Guts for the study of translocation of microplastic

The presence of micro and nanoplastics is now documented in the drinking water, ocean, marine invertebrates and fishes. Their toxicity for humans is still mostly unknown, as well as their capacity to translocate through the gut barrier, especially since it depends strongly on the size, shape, surface state, material of these plastics, which are strongly heterogeneous or even contaminated by organic or toxic compounds. In this project, I propose to develop new in-vitro systems in order to quantify the translocation of environmental nano and microplastics obtained from plastic wastes, through the gut epithelial barrier. This proposal includes the development of 1- microphysiological systems mimicking that barrier and 2- detection techniques for the characterization of micro and nanoplastics directly inside biological tissues (Raman-SERS, SEM, AFM, confocal microscopy) or in liquids.
Quantifying functional impairment and metamorphopsia in a low vision population

Visual perception is required to interact with our environment on a daily basis. Pathological vision loss can disrupt perception and cause systematic functional changes. Quantifying these changes is essential to monitor deficits associated with visual disease, but measurement is complicated by retinotopic impairment, an overlap of symptoms, and influence from higher visual processes. Visual search provides a way to examine visual functioning in a ubiquitous task that involves an interplay between high-resolution central vision and low-resolution peripheral vision. We examined visual search performance in 12 participants with peripheral visual field loss (PVFL) and eight participants with central visual field loss (CVFL). Visual search behavior in PVFL participants was significantly different from age-matched controls with no field loss; yet oculomotor parameters were not significantly different. This suggests that PVFL impairs eye movement strategies, but not dynamics of oculomotor control. CVFL participants completed a visual search task with a set of image modifications designed to improve common perceptual deficits of CVFL patients. There was no significant benefit of image modification on performance, but a multivariate model accurately predicted performance on the basis of age, acuity and extent of field loss. Attempts to improve search may be more successful if they are tailored to the individual’s deficits. Metamorphopsia (visual distortion) often precedes visual field loss, may be caused by retinal layer displacement, and can be used to study the progression of retinal disease. A retrospective study of more than 7,000 Amsler grids showed systematic variations in the spatial pattern of distortion across different etiologies and concluded that metamorphopsia is a prevalent symptom that varies across disease type. However, a study of patient reported outcomes determined that metamorphopsia is under-reported in retinal disease patients, which may impact self-referral and clinical management. We also developed novel psychophysical methods to quantify metamorphopsia, yet found that measures across methods were uncorrelated. This suggests that metamorphopsia is not simply a consequence of pathological retinal displacement, but involves higher visual processes. Finally, we considered how metamorphopsia interacts with visual acuity and found a nonlinear relationship between the spatial properties of distortion and performance on a letter recognition task.
