Open research biopharmaceutical internships support

The current process of drug development is lengthy and inefficient. Only 1 out of approximately 10,000 drug molecules enters the market. Therefore more effective medicines, demanded by society, cannot be provided by pharmaceutical industry. To fill this gap, Open Research Biopharmaceutical Internships Support (ORBIS) proposes that the high attrition rate of new drug candidates might be reduced by over 20% by improving early stage R&D productivity. The overarching objective of ORBIS is therefore to form an international and inter-sectoral academic and industrial network. The action is aimed at improving the preclinical pathway of medicine development concentrating on processes and technologies.  The goal is to integrate multidisciplinary research by involving academia and industry from EU (Poland, Ireland, Finland, Germany and Czech Republic), EU associated country (Ukraine) and US to address the poor drug bioavailability as 70% of actives have solubility and/or membrane permeability problems. The action is addressed at selected molecules of class II and IV of Biopharmaceutics Classification System, to improve their pharmaceutical potential. The complementary consortium comprises experts in computations, physical chemistry, material science, nanotechnology, pharmacy, pharmacology and bioanalysis. The secondments will create a stimulating environment for early stage researchers to advance their individual career and soft skills. EU scientists will amalgamate their expertise in drug synthesis and dissolution, oral formulations, and bioanalytical methods with the knowledge on dermal research provided by the US partner. ORBIS will consolidate the existing links, promote long-term cooperation and exchange of knowledge between beneficiaries and partners. ORBIS will also enhance dissemination of new research outcomes and raise the awareness among the general public of the importance of drug delivery research that makes new drugs more accessible and affordable for society.
High arctic polynyas in a changing climate

The Arctic is undergoing a profound transformation. The striking increase in observed Greenland Ice Sheet melt and sea-ice retreat are two symptoms of the multiple impacts of climate change at high latitudes. In the sea-ice covered oceans surrounding northern Greenland however, large areas of year-round open water, termed polynyas, have been present since historical times. Located at two major Arctic-Atlantic gateways, these biological productivity hotspots support not only large mammals and birds but are a vital natural and cultural resource for indigenous Arctic communities. Polynyas also act as a potentially significant carbon sink. Three large polynyas recurrently form around northern Greenland. Paleoceanographic reconstructions of the largest, the North Water Polynya, indicate that the polynya and its associated ecosystem are extremely sensitive to rapid climatic fluctuations during the Holocene. Taking advantage of new, readily available marine sediment cores, I propose to reconstruct, for the first time, ocean circulation and sea-ice dynamics at the two main polynyas in the Greenland Sea (North East Water and Sirius Water). This action will target key climatic intervals in the early (Holocene Climatic Optimum) and late (Little Ice Age, Medieval Warm Period) Holocene and provide direct input to a fully-coupled earth system model to evaluate past and, more vitally, predict future dynamics under different greenhouse gas concentration pathways defined by the IPCC. This action provides a unique opportunity for me to learn a new proxy for Arctic paleoclimate reconstructions, skills in the applicability of paleo-data to modelling and a number of essential transferable skills such as scientific writing and mentorship, coupled with an extensive new network of expert collaborators. Through this action, I believe I can contribute to bringing this field of research forward, while gaining invaluable assets for my career development as an independent Arctic researcher.
ROULETTE PAYOUT CALCULATOR

A mechanical calculator that computes payouts for combinations of roulette bets. A number wheel (50) has an array of payout numbers (54) for a combinations of two types of bets over a range of chips, such as up to 20 chips on a street bet and up to 20 chips on a line bet. A mask wheel (40) overlays the number wheel (50). Windows (44) on the mask wheel each reveal an individual number (54) on the number wheel, depending on the relative rotational positions of the mask and number wheels, which are manually selectable with knobs (28, 32). A cover plate (22) overlays the mask wheel, and has a window (26) that reveals a single combined payout number (54) on the number wheel under a mask window (1-20) and the cover plate window (26). Rotational index numbers (49, 68) indicate the number of chips selected for each bet.
Bioeconomic analysis of giant kelp Macrocystis pyrifera cultivation (Laminariales; Phaeophyceae) in northern Chile

This study analyzed the economic feasibility of offshore commercial cultivation of Macrocystis pyrifera in northern Chile. To achieve this objective, a continuous-time model including biological, technological, and economic aspects was developed. To implement this model, the biomass growth until marketable size is reached was estimated for three periods of the year. A periodic system of cultivation and harvesting is described, and the main investments, operation costs, remunerations, and operational costs of cultivation and harvesting are defined. The results of the baseline model show that cultivation is not profitable in the long term considering the selling price and the harvest yield. Additionally, at baseline, the revenue is unable to cover the investment costs or the operation costs. However, in a scenario in which productivity is 211 % higher than the base harvest and prices are 25 % higher, cultivation becomes profitable, with positive net present values (NPV) after 14 years. Despite the aforementioned considerations, the opportunity for generating greater value from this type of cultivation is discussed, taking into account its characteristics as units that provide ecosystem services, which is a feature that is starting to be discussed in relation to marine environments.
Development of a laboratory scale for the extraction of high-purity R-phykoerythrin from the red alga Furcellaria lumbricalis

The project will develop a methodology that will allow the extraction of high purity R-phykoerythrin from the red alga Furcellaria lumbricalis to the biotechnology sector.
Securing software against physical attacks

More than 15 years ago, several seminal publications showed that cryptographic keys can be revealed by analysing the power consumption or by inducing faults to devices like smart cards. The publication of these so-called physical attacks sparked off research on all kinds of attack techniques and countermeasures to secure implementations of cryptographic schemes. 

However, a system can still be attacked easily if only the execution of cryptographic schemes is secured. An attacker can for example induce a fault to bypass an authentication or to jump to a privileged function directly. The system might also leak the key before the execution of a cryptographic scheme starts.

Today, there is almost no research on securing systems and software execution against physical attacks. Products like smart cards rely on proprietary best-practice countermeasures. Also countless devices of the Internet of Things are exposed to physical attacks and lack protection. 

Our goal is to close this fundamental gap in system security and to establish the scientific foundation for executing software securely and efficiently in the presence of physical attacks. We aim to address research questions that range from the modelling of the attacks at the hardware level up to system-level questions like how changing properties of programming languages can support achieving protection against physical attacks. 

This project brings together research on physical attacks, cryptography, system architectures, fault tolerant design as well as formal methods. Combining the fields, we pursue novel approaches to securing the control flow, CPU computations and memories. We in particular aim to find efficient methods in hardware and software that allow building systems where critical parts of the overall software can be secured against physical attacks without affecting or trusting the rest of the system. Our research also includes automated generation and verification techniques for the secured software.
Tracing the conditions of the infertility of metals from ash stabilisers

The project is aimed at creating a basic knowledge base connected with the change of fuel base in energy plants following further application within ash stabilisers. Energy plants replace part of the fuel base for wood material and this has a major impact on the ecological parameters of the resulting products. a.
Mobile pelletizing unit

The biopellet market is booming in Europe, and the production of wood pellets (main commercial product) has increased from 6-7 to 26 Mton/year in the period 2006-2015, and is expected to rise to 38 Mton/year in 2025, due to the general interest in substituting fossil fuel with CO2 neutral biomass. There is a need of solutions to utilise the potential of biomass residues currently available in forests, agriculture, agroindustry and parks, not being used today as it is too expensive to handle and process the feedstock. Our innovative solution consists in a mobile pelletizing unit, placed on a trailer that can be connected to a normal truck for transportation. This eliminates associated costs with buying land and obtaining building and permissions. The raw material is crushed, milled, dried, and pressed to biopellets. Our solution can handle a large variety of raw material, like straw, nut shell, rice husk, etc., although the main raw material is expected to be wooden residues. Only one operator is required, and the unit can produce up to 1.2 ton/h with a low energy consumption. Our first sales is expected to be in Switzerland and in France. By 2026, it is expected to have sold more than 400 units.

Water and energy efficient induction humidification system for textile applications

Located near Bergamo, Italy, our company, AERIS Group, is specialized in design, development, manufacturing and commissioning of air technological applications, ranging from air conditioning over process air technology up to removal and heat recovery. With more than 50 years of experience and a turnover above €4 million, our group is composed of 3 companies: AERIS air technologies, expert in HVAC and filtering, EDENYA for air cooling solutions and MAZZINIICI, our textile division. The technical know-how of our high-specialized professionals, our detailed knowledge of materials, production processes and production methods in the different industrial fields as well as a business strategy turned towards continuous innovation and global presence are the basis of our success and growth. 

We listen carefully to our customers from the textile sector – which represents 35% of or turnover –, their feedback and concerns on product quality, water and energy consumption. This led us 20 years ago to the development of the patented Supra high pressure water technology.

Today, we propose the next step, called Induction Humidification System (IHS): by integrating a customized air distribution and diffusion system with specific diffusers, we can “move” a volume of air 10 times equal to the primary air, and fully mixed with micronized water for even humidity level without water waste. The IHS reduces drastically water consumption by 50% and energy by up to 80%, while guaranteeing an optimum control of humidity (+/-0.5%) and temperature (+/- 0.5 degrees). 

The IHS system will achieve long-term profitability for both our customers and our company, with an increase of sales reaching €5.7million by 2023, for a total of €15.0 million of accumulated revenues of the 2019-2023 period.

Park of literary travels in Greece and Magna Graecia

Polysemi will create an innovative model of sustainable literary tourism through the creation of a Park of literary travels in Greece and Magna Graecia. Bari, Taranto and the islands of the Ionian archipelago will become the stages of fascinating itineraries on the steps of travelers-writers that those places have traveled and described. Nature, history, art, folklore and literature will be the ingredients of these tourist proposals, aimed at enhancing and promoting good practices of economic and territorial development.

An internet portal dedicated to the Park will give space to a section dedicated to tourist-cultural itineraries and will also host a digital library with travel literature texts to promote the historical-cultural heritage shared by Italy and Greece.

Finally, there will be specific sections for cultural and tourist promotion of places. Through an app-mobile for the traveler, but also for the local populations, will be possible to have, in real time, cultural, naturalistic and tourist information on the places of POLYSEMI.

A network of stakeholders will be created, composed of cultural and tourist operators in synergy with local enterprices (hospitality, crafts, food and wine, agriculture, cultural associations, art galleries, museums, guides, etc.) that can freely join the Park Network . International study conferences, art exhibitions, theater workshops, tourist-literary training courses are others of the many activities that will animate the project area.

Thanks to these initiatives, the places in the area will be promoted and valorized by exploiting the sustainable tourism economy and thanks to the rediscovering of history and culture.
Impact des réseaux sociaux sur la perception avant le jour du scrutin : étude de cas des élections européennes de 2019

L’élection du Parlement européen de 2019 a fait l’objet d’un examen minutieux, car de nombreuses opérations d’influence visant l’opinion publique avaient fait l’actualité et semblaient mettre en évidence la possibilité d’influencer les opinions et les votes des citoyens. Une étude de terrain a été menée en France au cours des 30 jours précédant l’élection du Parlement européen. Il a observé l’effet d’avoir un autocollant sur les profils Facebook en termes de chambre d’écho, d’influence sur les utilisateurs de réseaux sociaux et l’effet de contenus chargés d’émotion sur les croyances et les habitudes de vérification des faits. Cette étude de terrain a analysé les premiers posts apparus sur les profils Facebook créés dans le cadre de l’étude empirique, et les entretiens menés avec les gestionnaires de profils. Nous avons constaté que les internautes peuvent être influencés plus qu’ils ne le pensent possible, et que cela a eu un impact sur leurs habitudes de vérification des faits, leurs perceptions du contexte et enfin leurs croyances.
Supportability scenario-based contract alternatives for operating life of a mechanical system

Supportability for a user is the ability of the manufacturer to execute all the support activities that are required for the upkeep of the system, in the most effective, efficient and timely manner throughout the operating life of the product, whenever and wherever needed. In this work, the various issues of supportability of mechanical systems have been studied. The case study is conducted on a compressor manufacturer (Burckhardt), which provides support to their end products that are installed at compressed natural gas stations in National Capital Region (NCR). Both the Burckhardt and its customer have aggressive plans of expanding their operations to new locations in future. As a first step, it is necessary to have a mechanism to generate and evaluate various contract alternatives (CAs) with an objective of minimising the costs incurred to various players in the contract and at the same time, ensuring the minimum service level performance of the system. The methodology presented in this paper will be helpful to Burckhardt and/or any original equipment manufacturer in general, for selecting supportability-based CAs. This study will also be helpful to researchers, engineers, maintenance professionals and other persons concerned, to understand the issues involved in supportability-based CAs.
Preparation and structural investigation of nanostructured oxide dispersed strengthened steels

Although capability of steels has been improved in the past by thermomechanical treatment, utilization of powder metallurgy provides more controlled microstructure, a homogeneous dispersion of nanosized oxide particles in the metal matrix and tailored properties in terms of strength and radiation resistance. This article is summarizing recent results on preparation, structural, and mechanical investigation of oxide dispersed strengthened steel (ODS). Two commercial steel powders, austenitic 17Cr12Ni2.5Mo2.3Si0.1C and martensitic Fe16Cr2Ni0.2C powders have been used as starting materials. Nanosized yttria dispersed martensitic and austenitic sintered steel samples have been realized by powder metallurgical methods. An efficient dispersion of nano-oxides in ODS steels was achieved by employing high efficient attrition milling. A combined wet and dry milling process of fine ceramic and steel particles is proposed. Spark Plasma Sintering (SPS) was applied to realize nanostructured steel compacts. Grains with 100 nm mean size have been observed by SEM in sintered austenitic ODS. In comparison, the sintered martensitic dry milled and martensitic dry and combined milled ODS microstructure consisted of grain size with 100–300 nm in each case. A brittle behavior is shown in all of the cases. The martensitic ODS is two times harder than the austenitic ODS. The bending strength high as 1806.7 MPa was found for the martensitic ODS, whereas 1210.8 MPa was determined for the austenitic ODS. The combined milling assured higher strength and hardness compared to dry milling.

Bill Waters on Schumpeter

Bill Waters’ dissertation “Entrepreneurship, Dualism, and Causality: An Appreciation of the Work of Joseph A. Schumpeter” completed at Georgetown University in 1952 is significant for two reasons. The first is clear enough from the very beginning: Schumpeter and the entrepreneur. The other comes to light through hindsight: Bill brings to bear an understanding of economic affairs which is personalist rather than individualist or collectivist in nature. In short, Bill sees as the main activating force in economic affairs not the impersonal forces of the market, not the central planning board, but the person who innovates, who acts bolding in economic affairs, the banker who creates credit, and the capitalist who supplies old funds. Thus the Waters’ dissertation says much not only about Schumpeter but also about Bill himself. His dissertation is his only book-length publication.
Development of an intelligent lighting system using LED ceiling lights into an actual office

As a demonstration, our proposed system has been introduced into actual offices in Tokyo. It consists of fluorescent lighting fixtures, light control units, microprocessors, illuminance sensors, and distributed optimization software. The lower control limit of a fluorescent light fixture is between 20% and 30%. We measured the relationship between the color temperature and the dimming range for the illuminance. The experimental results showed that the dimming range for the illuminance was narrow. To provide each worker's desired illuminance and color temperature, an LED ceiling light which can control the luminance between 0% and 100% is preferable. However, LED ceiling lights for office use have not been developed so far. The two leading light equipment makers have prototyped LED ceiling lights. We developed an intelligent lighting system using these lights and verified its effectiveness. The experimental results showed that the proposed system could provide the required illuminance and color temperature, and could achieve an energy savings of 60 to 80%. The intelligent system has a high affinity for LED lights. From the point of view of effective utilization of energy, the intelligent lighting system using LED ceiling lights showed good performance. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
