The power of parameterization in coinductive proof

Coinduction is one of most basic concepts in computer science. It is therefore surprising that commonly-known lattice-theoretic accounts of principles underlying coinductive proofs are lacking in two key respects: they do not support compositional reasoning (i.e. breaking proofs into separate pieces that can be developed in isolation), and they do not support incremental reasoning (i.e. developing proofs interactively by starting from goal and generalizing coinduction hypothesis repeatedly as necessary).In this paper, we show how to support coinductive proofs that are both compositional and incremental, using a dead simple construction we call parameterized greatest fixed point. The basic idea is to parameterize greatest fixed point of interest over accumulated knowledge of the proof so far. While this idea has been proposed before, by Winskel in 1989 and by Moss in 2001, neither of previous accounts suggests its general applicability to improving state of art in interactive coinductive proof.In addition to presenting lattice-theoretic foundations of parameterized coinduction, demonstrating its utility on representative examples, and studying its composition with up-to techniques, we also explore its mechanization in proof assistants like Coq and Isabelle. Unlike traditional approaches to mechanizing coinduction (e.g. Coq's cofix), which employ syntactic guardedness checking, parameterized coinduction offers a semantic account of guardedness. This leads to faster and more robust proof development, as we demonstrate using our new Coq library, Paco.
Risk of invasive pneumococcal disease varies by neighbourhood characteristics: implications for prevention policies

This study investigates neighbourhood variation in rates of pneumococcal bacteraemia and community-level factors associated with neighbourhood heterogeneity in disease risk. We analysed data from 1416 adult and paediatric cases of pneumococcal bacteraemia collected during 2005-2008 from a population-based hospital surveillance network in metropolitan Philadelphia. Cases were geocoded using residential address to measure disease incidence by neighbourhood and identify potential neighbourhood-level risk factors. Overall incidence of pneumococcal bacteraemia was 36∙8 cases/100,000 population and varied significantly (0-67∙8 cases/100,000 population) in 281 neighbourhoods. Increased disease incidence was associated with higher population density [incidence rate ratio (IRR) 1∙10/10,000 people per mile², 95% confidence interval (CI) 1∙0-1∙19], higher percent black population (per 10% increase) (IRR 1∙07, 95% CI 1∙04-1∙09), population aged ≤5 years (IRR 3∙49, CI 1∙8-5∙18) and population aged ≥65 years (IRR 1∙19, CI 1∙00-1∙38). After adjusting for these characteristics, there was no significant difference in neighbourhood disease rates. This study demonstrates substantial small-area variation in pneumococcal bacteraemia risk that appears to be explained by neighbourhood sociodemographic characteristics. Identifying neighbourhoods with increased disease risk may provide valuable information to optimize implementation of prevention strategies.
Enabling flexible integrated circuits and applications

Thin-film transistor technologies are present in many products today that require an active transistor backplane e.g. flat-panel displays and flat-panel photodetector arrays. Unipolar n-type transistors based on amorphous Indium-Gallium-Zinc-Oxide (a-IGZO) as semiconductor is currently the most promising technology for next generation products demanding a  high-performant, low power transistor, manufacturable on flexible substrates enabling curved, bendable and even rollable displays. a-IGZO is a wide bandgap material characterized by extremely low off-state leakage currents and electron mobility of ~20 cm2/Vs. IGZO transistors fabricated on flexible substrates will also find their use in applications that require flexible integrated circuits. 

The goal of this FLICs proposal is to develop disruptive technology and ground-breaking design innovations with amorphous oxide TFTs on plastic substrates, targeting large scale or very large scale flexible integrated circuits with unprecedented characteristics in terms of power consumption, supply voltage and operating speed, for applications in IoT and wearable healthcare sensor patches.

We introduce a new logic style, “quasi-CMOS”, which is based on unipolar, oxide dual-gate thin-film transistors. This logic style will drastically decrease the power consumption of unipolar logic gates in a novel way by taking advantage of dynamic backgate driving and of the transistor’s unique low off-state leakage current, without compromising on switching speed. In addition, we also introduce downscaling of the transistor’s dimensions, while remaining compatible with upscaling to large-area manufacturing platforms. Finally, we will investigate novel ultralow-power design techniques on system-level, while exploiting the quasi-CMOS logic gates.

We will demonstrate the power of this innovation with circuits for item-level Internet-of-Things, UHF RFID, and wearable health sensor patches.

The Cà Vendramin museum: a place of historical, cultural and tourist interest

The project aims at implementing a number of actions to promote among the general public the museums present in the architectural site of Cà Vendramin (Rovigo). Known today as the Regional Museum of Land Reclamation, it housed from 1903 to 1969 the main draining centre for the mechanical reclamation of the Island of Ariano. Cà Vendramin can therefore be the first “gate” for all visitors of the most valuable Po delta environment. In this sense, the building should not be confined to the role of a mere memory repository, but must represent instead a cultural opportunity to learn about a major historical and environmental heritage and become a place where to spend leisure time and learn. The Cà Vendramin museum is therefore the logical support to several initiatives connected with local tourism and week-end excursions, which have an interest in the local gastronomic delights and the rural environment in general. The project provides the opportunity to promote and enhance the local environment in order to foster thematic tourism connected with the environmental and human history, which had a significant influence on the environment itself. In this way the project is going to qualify and diversify the supply of tourist services in the area which is potentially very significant but is still on the fringes of the most relevant tourist flows.
Strengthening of a Private Brand: the Aspect of a Store’s Image

According to many scientists a brand is one of the most important sources of acquiring competitive advantage. This attitude is confirmed by the fact that there are many scientific works on brand image. But there is a lack of theoretical and empirical research on the formation and strengthening of an image of a private brand. It should be noted that theoretical and empirical research, performed by Reda (2002), Ailawadi et al. (2003), based on Batra and Sinha (2000), Garretson et al. (2002), Burton and Lichtenstein (1998), confirm that factors that influence the formation and strengthening of the image of a private brand have not been sufficiently analysed. The scientific problem of this article is formulated with the help of the following questions: what is the influence of a store’s image and factors that determine it on the image of a private brand? The aim of this article is to analyse and summarize factors that form private brand image theoretically, and to test them empirically with the help of the example of the store “Aprangos galerija”. The methods of comparative analysis of scientific literature and systematization were used in order to reach the set aim. Quantitative research method (survey) was applied for empirical research of private brand image strengthening in the aspect of the store “Aprangos galerija”. Factor analysis was used for data analysis. Multiple linear regression was used for identification of causalities between variables. Based on the analysis of scientific literature, having summarized the results of the performed theoretical and empirical research it is stated that one of the sources of competitive advantage for stores is the creation of a positive and strong private brand image in consumers’ consciousness. It should be noted that brand identity elements and associations, related to the product itself and its perceived quality and emotions, form a positive private brand image. Having revealed the conceptual essence of an image, having analysed the structure of a company’s image, having identified factors that determine a store’s image and based on the results of scientific theoretical and empirical research it is stated that a store’s image depends on the following factors: services, convenience, quality, product variety, product prices, and store atmosphere. The results of the performed empirical research have shown that factors forming a store’s image (convenience and store atmosphere) have the biggest influence on a positive private brand image. It should be noted that factors determining a store’s image such as product variety and price also form a positive private brand image. Based on theoretical provisions and results of empirical research a conclusion is made that in order to strengthen a private brand image it is necessary to make decisions related to the store’s place, atmosphere, stock formation, and pricing.DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.5755/j01.ee.23.1.1227

Gender Differences in Academic Productivity and Advancement Among Dental School Faculty

Background: An equal number of women and men are now graduating from dental school, but women dentists have lower income and are less likely to achieve positions of leadership, including within dental academia. Materials and Methods: Demographic information and academic rank were obtained for all faculty at the eight dental schools who received the most funding from the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research in 2017. Years since dental school graduation, total number of PubMed-indexed citations, first- and last-author publications, and H-index were determined for each faculty member. Gender differences in productivity and advancement were evaluated. Results: Of 702 faculty members, 36.5% were female; only 24.4% of full professors were women. Men had significantly higher numbers of publications (30.2 [95% confidence interval [CI, 28.6-39.5] vs. 20.4 [95% CI 16.3-24.6], p = 0.02) and higher H-index (8.2 [95% CI 7.1-9.1] vs. 4.7 [95% CI 3.9-5.5], p < 0.0001). Women had graduated more recently than their male colleagues at all levels of academic advancement (overall 22.83 years [95% CI 21.29-24.39] vs. 30.19 years [95% CI 28.84-31.55], p < 0.0001). When corrected for academic productivity and years since graduation, the association between gender and academic rank was not significant. Conclusions: Women are underrepresented at each academic rank except instructor; however, women may advance more quickly than their male counterparts. Increasing scholarship and mentorship opportunities for female faculty members may help improve gender equity in dental academia.
Determination of electronic conductance of solid oxide fuel cells

This work considers electronic conductance in solid oxide fuel cells and consequences of its existence. Various types of electrolyte are analyzed. The voltage characteristics of cells show dierences between a theoretical maximum circuit voltage and open circuit voltage (OCV). A relationship is assumed between the OCV value and electronic conductance. Based on experimental measurements an appropriate mathematical model was created. The model is used to calculate the temperature dependence of electronic conductance for the most popular types of electrolytes: GDC (Gadolinia-Doped Ceria), ScSZ (Scandia Stabilized Zirconia), LSGMC (Cobalt, Strontium, and Magnesium Doped Lanthanum Gallate), YSZ (Yttria-Stabilized Zirconia). The obtained results point to the possible existence of a very tight relationship between the electronic conductance and the open circuit voltage. This relationship enables OCV to be calculated when electronic conductance is known. Appropriate formulae can be determined. Temperature is one of the factors which influences the value of electronic conductance. Other influencing factors also exist but their impact on OCV is not well know. This article mentions some of them.
Dissecting and leveraging glucagon-like peptide-1 brain pathways in obesity

Obesity is a major health challenge in the EU and globally, and yet the best drug therapies achieve only modest reductions in weight loss and require life-long treatment. To prevent and treat obesity it is crucial we understand the neural pathways controlling appetite and how they can be ‘hijacked’ therapeutically. The brain glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP1) system is a promising target. GLP1 receptor agonists (GLP1RAs) decrease food intake and bodyweight in obese patients, effects which are mediated by two brain regions: the arcuate nucleus of the hypothalamus (Arc) and the nucleus of the solitary tract (NTS). This project, Ob_GLP1, combines the neuroscience background of Dr Holt with the next-generation technology and imaging expertise of Dr Hodson to test the hypothesis that obesity disrupts the function of GLP1RA-responsive Arc and NTS circuits and that obesity can be rescued by selectively targeting intracellular signalling in GLP1RA-activated neurons. This hypothesis will be tested through the completion of four independent, yet complementary work packages. Work package 1-3 will determine the effect of obesity on 1) GLP1RA access to the Arc and NTS measured using fluorescently labelled GLP1R antagonist and whole-brain light-sheet microscopy; 2) the molecular distribution and oligomerisation state of GLP1Rs in the Arc and NTS; and 3) the innervation pattern and synaptic density of Arc and NTS GLP1R neurons. Work package 4 will assess the potential of a novel GLP1-conjugated antisense nucleotide as an effective anti-obesity treatment. Ob_GLP1 will advance our knowledge of the brain’s control over obesity, while allowing Dr Holt to reintegrate into the European research environment and will facilitate substantial two-way transfer of knowledge between the host lab and Dr Holt, ultimately benefitting both parties, as well as society as a whole.
Development of microalgae-based natural uv sunscreens and proteins as cosmeceuticals and nutraceuticals

The biotechnology of microalgae has gained considerable importance in recent decades, as they represent a largely untapped reservoir of novel and valuable bioactive compounds. The biological and chemical diversity of the microalgae, has been the source of unique bioactive molecules with the potential for industrial development as pharmaceuticals, cosmetics, nutritional supplements. The proposed project will combine both basic and applied research in the fields of –omics technologies, biochemistry, applied and enzyme biotechnology in order to exploit microalgae resources for the development: 1) Natural UV sunscreens, based on algae mycosporine-like aminoacids, 2) Algae-based nutraceuticals as functional foods and food supplements, 3) Algae-derived proteases with applications in cosmetic (skin repair enzymes) and food industry. The implementation of the project will offer to the involved academic and SMSs the opportunity to translate scientific research into well defined knowledge-based ‘green’ products and analytical tools. Apart from scientific objectives, the project will enhance the European’s capacity in the field of Blue Growth and Marine Biotechnology by exchanging interdisciplinary knowledge, developing and disseminating joint research activities, thus strengthening the intersectoral links between academia and industry for sustainable growth.
2 Das periphere Europa und sein Aufstieg durch afrikanischen Sklavenhandel

2 Das periphere Europa und sein Aufstieg durch afrikanischen Sklavenhandel Man versteht besser, warum fast alle Historiker und Kommentatoren sich über dieses Phänomen ausschweigen: Es fällt ihnen schwer, anzuerkennen, dass die wirtschaftliche Wiedergeburt des Okzidents zwischen dem 8. und 11.Jahrhundert über den Handel mit menschlichen Wesen verwirklicht wurde [Übersetzung Michael Zeuske]! 26 Europa war immer Sklaverei-und Sklavenhandels-Gebiet.Es war zugleich meist ein peripheres Gebiet (für das Kalifat, für Byzanz, für China oder die Reiche im Norden Afrikas, Persiens bzw.Chinas), aus dem andere Mächte Versklavte bezogen.Wenn es eine einigermaßen sinnvolle Gesamt-Bezeichnung für den "Balkon" der großen Landmasse gibt, die etwa seit dem 16.Jahrhundert mit einem der Kontinent-Namen (Asia-Africa-Europa) benannt worden ist, dann ab der Wieder-Konsolidierung des Byzantinischen Reiches und der Konsolidierung des fränkischen Karolinger
Epidemiology of Aquatic and Recreational Water Sport Injuries: A Case-Control Analysis

The purposes of the current investigation are to evaluate the epidemiology of water sport injuries at a coastal tertiary trauma center and to determine the association of these activities with spinal column injury and to determine whether aquatic trauma injuries differ significantly from those that occur terrestrially. A retrospective review of a consecutive series of 105 patients with aquatic-based mechanisms of injury admitted to a Level II trauma center over a 3-year period, as well as a matched control cohort with terrestrial-based mechanisms of injury, was conducted. Patients were treated at a Level II trauma center from January 1, 2008, to December 31, 2010. All patients received a full trauma work-up on arrival. Patients were identified retrospectively from a prospectively collected database (N=5298). Eligible patients were identified from billing/coding data as having mechanisms of injury related to an aquatic setting. Patients were evaluated using standard trauma protocols. Spinal column and cord injury occurrence and differences between groups were reviewed. Personal watercrafts accounted for the majority of injuries (n=39). Cervical (33.3%), closed-head (25.7%), and thoracolumbar (21.9%) injuries accounted for the majority of injury types. The cervical spinal column and the spinal cord were at an increased risk of injury in the aquatic injury cohort (P<.0001). The current data show the high incidence of spinal column and cord injuries in this patient population relative to controls. Practitioners who care for trauma patients near an aquatic environment should be aware of the high prevalence of these injuries, with proper spinal cord preservation protocols in place to optimize outcome.

An automatic extraction method of the domains of competence for learning classifiers using data complexity measures

The constant appearance of algorithms and problems in data mining makes impossible to know in advance whether the model will perform well or poorly until it is applied, which can be costly. It would be useful to have a procedure that indicates, prior to the application of the learning algorithm and without needing a comparison with other methods, whether the outcome will be good or bad using the information available in the data. In this work, we present an automatic extraction method to determine the domains of competence of a classifier using a set of data complexity measures proposed for the task of classification. These domains codify the characteristics of the problems that are suitable or not for it, relating the concepts of data geometrical structures that may be difficult and the final accuracy obtained by any classifier. In order to do so, this proposal uses 12 metrics of data complexity acting over a large benchmark of datasets in order to analyze the behavior patterns of the method, obtaining intervals of data complexity measures with good or bad performance. As a representative for classifiers to analyze the proposal, three classical but different algorithms are used: C4.5, SVM and K-NN. From these intervals, two simple rules that describe the good or bad behaviors of the classifiers mentioned each are obtained, allowing the user to characterize the response quality of the methods from a dataset's complexity. These two rules have been validated using fresh problems, showing that they are general and accurate. Thus, it can be established when the classifier will perform well or poorly prior to its application.
