Kinetic study on solid state thermal degradation of epoxy nanocomposite containing Octasilane polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxane

A nanocomposite based on epoxy and octasilane polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (Octasilane POSS) was synthesized and characterized. Thermal degradation kinetics of the epoxy system containing different concentrations of Octasilane POSS was studied by thermogravimetry analysis (TGA). The derivative thermogravimetry (DTG) curves showed a single stage decomposition process. Influence of both the Octasilane POSS concentration and heating rate on degradation characteristics was eliminated. The better thermal and morphological properties were obtained using a formulation containing 1 wt.% of Octasilane POSS. Using Kissinger's method, activation energy of the degradation process was determined to be 155.8 kJ/mol. This is in good agreement with that value determined by Flynn–Wall–Ozawa isoconversional approach. Based on 13 various model functions and the calculation procedures of Coats–Redfern, Van Krevelen, Horowits–Metzeger, and Criado et al. methods the degradation mechanism was found. It was concluded that the kinetics of thermal degradation obeys through a nucleation and growth mechanism described by Avrami–Erofeev equation (A 2 ). The homogeneous dispersion of Octasilane POSS in the polymer matrix was evidenced by SEM and XRD observations. ► Presence of Octasilane POSS at low wt.% results in T g improvement. ► The best degradation kinetic model was found to be A 2 model. ► The nanocomposite showed a homogeneous amorphous morphology.

Fault bars and bacterial infection

Fault bars are conspicuous malformations on bird feathers that are produced during feather growth. The causes of fault bars are poorly understood. In our study, we used the presence of Campylobacter jejuni infection in 302 urban feral pigeons (Columba livia) as a proxy of physiological stress and correlated this stress with fault bar abundance. The overall prevalence of Campylobacter infection in these birds was 24.5 %. Bacterial infection was equally prevalent in young birds and adults, but males showed a slightly higher prevalence than females. Fault bars were more abundant in young birds than in adults, particularly among young males. Pigeons with Campylobacter infection had more fault bars than uninfected birds. These results suggest that the physiological state of the individual bird could be as important as external stressors in determining the occurrence of fault bars and that parasites may play a role in fault bar formation.

REDHAWK for VITA 49 Development in Open Radio Access Networks

This thesis establishes the need for a standardized, interoperable, front end interface to support
the development of open RAN technologies, and establishes the viability and desirability of the
VITA 49 interface standard as the alternative to other interface technologies. The purpose of this
work is to propose a testbed platform for the further development for VITA 49 as a standard frontend interface as other current testbeds are not designed not as well suited to the VITA 49 standard
or open RAN architecture. The VITA 49 interface standard provides a packetized interface
between the front-end and the digital back-end of a split architecture system in a way that enables
hardware interoperability between and within vendor supplies. The VITA 49 Radio Transport
standard is ideally appropriate for integration into SDRs [12] due to its flexibility and metadata
support. The REDHAWK platform is an integrated development environment which is used to
develop a radio system that utilizes a remote radio unit to send and receive signals which transmits
it using the VITA 49 protocol to the base band unit for processing. It was found that REDHAWK
is better than GNURadio for this purpose, and that VRT technology is a much better than the
current CPRI Standard as it provides an open standard, that enables a flexible, scalable interface
that enables long-term growth.

Pathways, memory and information processing in matter

Imagine squeezing a crumpled plastic sheet – what is its response? For complex materials – crumpled sheets, granular media, glassy materials – tiny forces already cause a nonlinear response, associated with hopping in the energy landscape, for which we lack a coherent description. The central tenet of this proposal is that this hopping allows complex materials to process information. I propose to understand and unlock the full potential of such complex materials. Central questions are:

- How can we describe their nonlinear response?
- What are the 	computational capabilities of complex matter?
- Can we create materials for targeted computations?

To answer these questions, I will subject macro-scale complex matter to sequentially and spatially patterned driving forces (information input), and observe the sequential response (information output). The responses to multiple forcings form an intricate web of linked pathways, which can be represented in a graph that I interpret as encoding a sequential computation. This is the central link between driving, pathways and information, which allows me to probe the algorithmic capabilities of complex materials. 

Recent breakthroughs in my group have brought experimental access, modelling and design of pathways within reach. In this proposal, I will investigate these pathways and will develop strategies to create algorithmic matter, using a combination of disordered – crumpling – sheets and carefully designed mechanical metamaterials; I will develop theoretical models for both. 

Just like a focus on the architecture of complex matter has revolutionized our view of their linear response and gave birth to mechanical metamaterials, a focus on their pathways will revolutionize our understanding of their nonlinear response and opens the door to new forms of information processing matter.
Strengthening of green infrastructures in IT-SI cross-border environment

The cultural landscape in the programme area has great biodiversity. It hosts species important at EU level and protected species. Habitats are also ponds, dry stones walls, glaciers, swamps, etc., connected to the network of natural areas constituting green infrastructures. A common challenge is the loss of green infrastructures and related services in the ecosystem due to abandonment and proliferation of alien species. The main goal of the project is to promote cross-border cooperation to ensure a good state of conservation of species / habitats related to green infrastructures in the cross-border area. The effects are: green infrastructures connection, knowledge and best practices transfer, 17 pilot activities for the renewal of green infrastructures and organization of at least 25 events. The changes will be: better state of biodiversity, better connectivity of the ecosystem, risk prevention, stakeholders awareness raising. The beneficiaries will be green infrastructures managers, visitors, local communities, SMEs and other green infrastructures users. Cross-border cooperation is necessary to connect the green infrastructures network and for protection of species / habitats on both sides of the border.
Clustering of risk factors for non-communicable disease and healthcare expenditure in employees with private health insurance presenting for health risk appraisal: a cross-sectional study

The global increase in the prevalence of NCD's is accompanied by an increase in risk factors for these diseases such as insufficient physical activity and poor nutritional habits. The main aims of this research study were to determine the extent to which insufficient physical activity (PA) clustered with other risk factors for non-communicable disease (NCD) in employed persons undergoing health risk assessment, and whether these risk factors were associated with higher healthcare costs.Employees from 68 companies voluntarily participated in worksite wellness days, that included an assessment of self-reported health behaviors and clinical measures, such as: blood pressure (BP), Body Mass Index (BMI), as well as total cholesterol concentrations from capillary blood samples. A risk-related age, 'Vitality Risk Age' was calculated for each participant using an algorithm that incorporated multiplicative pooled relative risks for all cause mortality associated with smoking, PA, fruit and vegetable intake, BMI, BP and cholesterol concentration. Healthcare cost data were obtained for employees (n = 2 789).Participants were 36±10 years old and the most prevalent risk factors were insufficient PA (67%) and BMI ≥ 25 (62%). Employees who were insufficiently active also had a greater number of other NCD risk factors, compared to those meeting PA recommendations (chi2 = 43.55; p < 0.0001). Moreover, employees meeting PA guidelines had significantly fewer visits to their family doctor (GP) (2.5 versus 3.11; p < 0.001) than those who were insufficiently PA, which was associated with an average cost saving of ZAR100 per year (p < 0.01). Furthermore, for every additional year that the 'Vitality Risk Age' was greater than chronological age, there was a 3% increased likelihood of at least one additional visit to the doctor (OR = 1.03; 95% CI = 1.01 - 1.05).Physical inactivity was associated with clustering of risk factors for NCD in SA employees. Employees with lower BMI, better self-reported health status and readiness to change were more likely to meet the PA guidelines. These employees might therefore benefit from physical activity intervention programs that could result in improved risk profile and reduced healthcare expenditure.

Electric propulsion system for the air transportation of tomorrow

H55 SA is a Swiss company created in 2017 by three members of the Solar Impulse Project, the first round-the-world solar flight. With the strategy of offering electric propulsion solutions to aircraft manufacturers, with systems safety review leading to airplane certification ready, H55 has dedicated the last year and a half to the development of its EPS55 patented technology: The Electric Propulsion System for the Air Transportation of Tomorrow.
EPS55 is a ground-breaking and cost-effective Electric Propulsion System (EPS) for Very Light Aircrafts (VLA) and Vertical Take-off and Landing (VTOL) with a certifiable Battery Management System able to handle multiple battery systems, electric motors, hybrid systems and do so while setting priorities in an organized hierarchical way. EPS55 has already proven its feasibility with the integration of a first prototype in an acrobatic aircraft in 2017 which achieved performance values far ahead any of its EPS competitors: 1 hour flight time with 40% of battery reserves at a direct costs per hour of only 18€.
Electrifying aviation market is a real and urgent need to achieve noise and green-house emissions reduction of the sector, which reached 768 million tonnes of CO2 in 2016. In addition, safety is a major issue and reducing the human failure factors, which account for the largest reason of air accident fatalities among light aircrafts, is a must. Regarding costs, electrifying light aircraft industry will be market feasible only if final operational costs are approximate to other means of transport like vehicles. 
Electric aircraft market has a huge potential: it is projected to grow from 6.61€ Billion in 2018 to 9.27€ Billion by 2021, at a CAGR of 7.33% and is predicted to keep growing at a CAGR over 4% after 2021. EPS55 will reach this market by 2021 and will enable the next necessary step for electric aviation to become a reality.
Traditional medicinal plants in Nigeria—Remedies or risks

Soil pollution due to increasing industrialization is a reality that is taking its toll on mankind today. Considering the population of people that use herbal remedies especially in developing countries and the discharge of industrial waste on surrounding herbal vegetation, it is imperative to determine the heavy metals contamination in some commonly used medicinal plants.Representative samples of five medicinal plants Ageratum conyzoides, Aspilia africana, Alchornea cordifolia, Amaranthus brasiliensis and Chromolaena odorata were collected from Ikpoba-Okha L.G.A, Edo State Nigeria, around a paint company and another set of same plants were collected from a non-polluted source. Dried leaves and roots of collected plants were digested and analyzed using Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometer (AAS) for the presence of Lead (Pb), Cadmium (Cd), Chromium (Cr), Nickel (Ni) and Zinc (Zn). Soil samples from polluted and non-polluted areas were also analyzed to ascertain the levels of these heavy metals in the environment.Results show that the concentrations of these heavy metals in the leaves and roots of plants collected from polluted soil were significantly higher than those obtained from unpolluted soil. Correspondingly heavy metal concentrations were significantly higher in polluted than in unpolluted soil samples.As part of continuing effort in the standardization of traditional remedies, environmental contamination control and abatement is evident. The source of medicinal plants/herbs should also be a cause for concern since the toxicity of medicinal plants is sometimes associated with environmental sources of the plants.
Barocaloric effect and the pressure induced solid state refrigerator

The current refrigerators are based on the heating and cooling of fluids under external pressure variation. The great inconvenience of this refrigeration technology is the damage caused to the environment by the refrigerant fluids. In this paper, we discuss the magnetic barocaloric effect, i.e., the heating or cooling of magnetic materials under pressure variation and its application in the construction of refrigerators using solid magnetic compounds as refrigerant materials and pressure as the external agent. The discussion presented in this paper points out that such a pressure induced solid state refrigerator can be very interesting because it is not harmful to the environment and can exhibit a good performance.
Vital metal complexes of levofloxacin as potential medical agents: Synthesis and their spectroscopic, thermal, computational, and anticancer studies

Metals chelation to biologically active molecules can be used as a medical model of enhancement of their antimicrobial activity. This paper is devoted to synthesis, physicochemical characterization, computational and antimicrobial studies of some complexes of vital metal ions including Ca(II), Fe(III), Pd(II), and Au(III) with levofloxacin (LFX) ligand. Structures of such complexes were elucidated with the help of elemental analyses and spectral measurements (IR, Raman, 1H NMR, 13C NMR and electronic). The accumulated data confirmed that formation of LFX complexes had two coordination pathways as bidentate ligands. One of those proceeded via deprotonation of the carboxylic group followed by bounding to Ca(II) or Fe(III) ion via the carbonyl group and carboxylate oxygen atoms. Alternatively, LFX acted as a neutral ligand bound to Pd(II) or Au(III) ion via nitrogen atoms of the piperazine ring. Molar conductance measurements of the 1: 1 complexes in DMSO had non-electrolyte nature with the exception of Au(III) complex. Formulae assigned to the complexes were [Ca(LFX−)(Cl)(H2O)] (I), [Fe(LFX−)(Cl)2(H2O)2]·6H2O (II), [Pd(LFX)(Cl)2)] (III), and [Au(LFX)(Cl)2]·Cl (IV). The nano-scale nature of Pd(II) and Au(III) complexes has been elucidated on the basis of X-ray powder diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The antimicrobial tests of the complexes I–IV demonstrated some activity against several kinds of bacteria and fungi. Cytotoxic activity of the complex IV was tested against the human colon carcinoma (HCT-116) and human hepatocellular carcinoma (HepG-2) tumor cell lines.
