Renewable Energy as an Underutilised Resource in Cities: Germany’s ‘Energiewende’ and Lessons for Post-Brexit Cities in the United Kingdom

Renewable energy remains an underutilised resource within urban environments. This study examines the ongoing German Energiewende (energy transition) as an example of renewable energy being treated as a necessary resource for urban development. It departs from existing literature by operationalising the Advocacy Coalition Framework (ACF), taking a policy systems approach to analyse (and explain) the cases of three German cities—Munich, Berlin, and Freiburg. This approach helps draw lessons for future UK energy scenarios by placing more abstract conceptions of Sustainable Energy Transitions (SETs) within the context of UK cities, post-Brexit. By discussing five main themes: the shift from government to governance; the need to break ‘carbon lock-in’; renewable energy innovation as an underutilised resource; developing governance strategies for renewable energy resources; the shift from policy to practice, the study yields a detailed reconceptualisation of approaches to renewable energy resource-use policy. The novelty of this study lies in its response to these challenges, taking a policy systems approach to energy governance. The article concludes with a proposed integrated framework. The framework, which is based on multi-scalar and multi-stakeholder integrated energy governance strategy, reconsiders the way in which renewable energy resources are seen in current governance terms in the UK. The framework presents a new approach to renewable energy resource-use policy that embraces innovation, responsible governance, and inclusive processes, (alongside thinking beyond simply technical solutions) to considering the socio-economic impacts of policy decisions in cities.
Explaining Probabilistic Fault Diagnosis and Classification Using Case-Based Reasoning

This paper describes a generic framework for explaining the prediction of a probabilistic classifier using preceding cases. Within the framework, we derive similarity metrics that relate the similarity between two cases to a probability model and propose a novel case-based approach to justifying a classification using the local accuracy of the most similar cases as a confidence measure. As a basis for deriving similarity metrics, we define similarity in terms of the principle of interchangeability that two cases are considered similar or identical if two probability distributions, derived from excluding either one or the other case in the case base, are identical. Thereafter, we evaluate the proposed approach for explaining the probabilistic classification of faults by logistic regression. We show that with the proposed approach, it is possible to find cases for which the used classifier accuracy is very low and uncertain, even though the predicted class has high probability.

Anaerobic biodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol in expanded granular sludge bed and fluidized bed biofilm reactors bioaugmented with Desulfitobacterium spp.

The biodegradation of 2,4,6-trichlorophenol (246TCP) was studied using expanded granular sludge bed (EGSB) reactors and a fluidized bed biofilm reactor (FBBR) filled with activated carbon. One of the EGSB reactor and the FBBR were bioaugmented with Desulfitobacterium strains. 246TCP loading rate was gradually incremented from 10 to 250 mg L−1 day−1. The main pathway of dechlorination was in ortho-position, generating 4-chlorophenol and 2,4-dichlorophenol. The maintenance of both COD degradation efficiency (higher than 80%) and methanogenic efficiency (between 0.3 and 0.6 g CH4–COD g−1 COD consumed) in EGSB reactor implies a great stability of the process. Through isotherm studies in FBBR, it could be deduced that around 52% of 246TCP was completely dechlorinated, whereas the adsorption involved around 16%. By means of FISH studies it was proved that the methanogenic Archaea community was maintained in the bioaugmented EGSB reactor, whereas in the FBBR this community was gradually developed until reaching stability. Desulfitobacterium community was also maintained in the reactors, although D. chlororespirans proportion rise in the FBBR at the higher 246TCP loading rates, implying that this species can withstand the 246TCP toxicity better than D. hafniense.
Proximate Kitaev quantum spin liquid behaviour in a honeycomb magnet

Topological states of matter such as quantum spin liquids (QSLs) are of great interest because of their remarkable predicted properties including protection of quantum information and the emergence of Majorana fermions. Such QSLs, however, have proven difficult to identify experimentally. The most promising approach is to study their exotic nature via the wave-vector and intensity dependence of their dynamical response in neutron scattering. A major search has centered on iridate materials which are proposed to realize the celebrated Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice - a prototypical topological QSL system in two dimensions (2D). The difficulties of iridium for neutron measurements have, however, impeded progress significantly. Here we provide experimental evidence that a material based on ruthenium, {\alpha}-RuCl$_3$ realizes the same Kitaev physics but is highly amenable to neutron investigation. Our measurements confirm the requisite strong spin-orbit coupling, and a low temperature magnetic order that matches the predicted phase proximate to the QSL. We also show that stacking faults, inherent to the highly 2D nature of the material, readily explain some puzzling results to date. Measurements of the dynamical response functions, especially at energies and temperatures above that where interlayer effects are manifest, are naturally accounted for in terms of deconfinement physics expected for QSLs. Via a comparison to the recently calculated dynamics from gauge flux excitations and Majorana fermions of the pure Kitaev model we propose {\alpha}-RuCl$_3$ as the prime candidate for experimental realization of fractionalized Kitaev physics.

Next-Gen software in legal documents automation

Legal systems are critical for a prosper society. From individual to governmental levels, we all are involved in these systems and must deal with a series of legal documents to interact with our administrations, companies and other individuals. Legal documentation can make the difference between a perfectly operative entity and a massive failure. Since the late 90s, IT systems aimed at efficiently manage legal documentation, but they are incapable of satisfying the needs of the modern society. Indeed, up to 75% of entities still elaborate their legal documents manually, which involves several problems: (1) Massive amounts of work hours (around 120 minutes per document); (2) High costs (near €54 per document); (3) Human errors due to the inherent need for human intervention. BIGLE IBERIA S.L. co-founders have realized about this problem and have launched the company in 2016, developing a first version of Bigle Legal Software. Now the company has 18  high-skilled professionals in the legal and technology sector and it is working in the future version of Bigle Legal, which based on advanced techniques of Natural Language Processing (NLP) automates most of the work involved in creating and managing legal documents and applying Artificial intelligence (AI) understands what the document is and what the users want, leveraging much of the repetitive work and leaving them customize the resulting document to match their specific needs.  The target users will be initially Law firms, Real Estate companies and Notaries and in future stages it will be extended to in-house legal departments and individual lawyers. BIGLE IBERIA is very well known in the Real Estate and Legal sectors, having engaged relevant clients with worldwide presence. Using Bigle Legal, they will be able to complete a legal document in 10 minutes at a cost of €5 which, for a medium-sized firm it would represent 11,000 man hours and ~€295,000 savings/ year.
Habe eine Kiste mit 16 Menschenschädeln geschickt

Liebe Mutter ! Da sich heute wieder Postgelegenheit bietet, sende ich Dir einen weiteren Brief, obwohl ich nichts besonderes zu schreiben weiß. Wir gehen Mittwoch dieser Woche weg nach Tonga, laufen aber vorher noch die Inseln Tutuila u. Savaii an, wo Unruhen ausgebrochen sein sollen. In Tonga hoffe ich dann Mitte Juli weitere Postgelegenheit zu haben. Hier möchte ich nun noch eine besondere Sache erwähnen. Auf Wunsch der Pariser Gesellschaft (Société d’anthropologie à Paris) habe ich dieser Anfang vorigen Monats eine Kiste mit 16 Menschenschädeln geschickt u. als Preis 800 francs gefordert. Wenn die Gesellschaft auf die Forderung eingeht, so habe ich Ihr Deine Adresse mitgetheilt u. dieselbe angewiesen den genannten Betrag an Dich zu senden. Andernfalls hat sie die Kiste an Dich zurückzusenden. In jedem Falle wirst Du mir also sogleich nach Empfang des Geldes oder der Kiste mittheilen, was angekommen ist. Im Falle die Kiste kommt hebe sie gut auf u. warte auf meine Order, wohin sie weiter zu senden ist ; kommt das Geld an, so lege es für mich an. Entstehende Frachtkosten bezahle ; ich vergüte sie Dir wieder. Das ist so ziemlich alles von Wichtigkeit.
CAST-IN INSERT

An insert for embedment in a concrete component during casting, having a tubular cavity for receiving a threaded anchorage member, the tubular cavity having an opening arranged to face outward of the concrete component when cast for insertion of the threaded anchorage member, wherein the insert is externally tapered such that, when the insert is embedded in the concrete component and the anchorage member is threadedly engaged within the tubular cavity, axial loading applied to the anchorage member in a sense to withdraw the anchorage member from the insert causes reactional force from the surrounding concrete to be applied to the insert in a direction radially inwardly of the insert, and wherein the insert is formed of deformable plastic material such that said reactional force in turn causes the insert to exert force radially inwardly upon the anchorage member.

PERSISTENT C II ABSORPTION IN THE NORMAL TYPE Ia SUPERNOVA 2002fk

We present well-sampled $UBVRIJHK$ photometry of SN 2002fk starting 12 days before maximum light through 122 days after peak brightness, along with a series of 15 optical spectra from -4 to +95 days since maximum. Our observations show the presence of C II lines in the early-time spectra of SN 2002fk, expanding at ~11,000 km s$^{-1}~$ and persisting until ~8 days past maximum light with a velocity of $\sim$9,000 km s$^{-1}~$. SN 2002fk is characterized by a small velocity gradient of $\dot v_{Si~II}=26$ km s$^{-1}$ day$^{-1}$, possibly caused by an off-center explosion with the ignition region oriented towards the observer. The connection between viewing angle of an off-center explosion and the presence of C II in the early time spectrum suggests that the observation of C II could be also due to a viewing angle effect. Adopting the Cepheid distance to NGC 1309 we provide the first $H_{0}$ value based on near-IR measurements of a Type Ia supernova between 63.0$\pm$ 0.8 ($\pm$ 2.8 systematic) and 66.7$\pm$1.0 ($\pm$ 3.5 systematic) km/s/Mpc, depending on the absolute magnitude/decline rate relationship adopted. It appears that the near-IR yields somewhat lower (6-9 %) $H_0$ values than the optical. It is essential to further examine this issue by (1) expanding the sample of high-quality near-IR light curves of SNe in the Hubble flow, and (2) increasing the number of nearby SNe with near-IR SN light curves and precise Cepheid distances, which affords the promise to deliver a more precise determination of $H_0$.
Smart protein for a changing world. future-proof alternative terrestrial protein sources for human nutrition encouraging environment regeneration, processing feasibility and consumer trust and accepta

It is undeniable that protein is an indispensable part of the human diet, but the way we produce and consume it today presents many challenges, in terms of both global consumption patterns and their social, environmental and economic impacts. Providing a growing global population with healthy diets from sustainable food systems is therefore an immediate challenge. SMART PROTEIN aims to industrially validate and demonstrate innovative, cost-effective and resource-efficient, EU-produced, nutritious plant (fava bean, lentil, chickpea, quinoa) and microbial biomass proteins from edible fungi by up-cycling side streams from pasta (pasta residues), bread (bread crust) and beer (spent yeast and malting rootlets) industries. The alternative SMART protein will be used for the production of ingredients and products for direct human consumption, through developing future-proofed protein supply chains with a positive impact on bio-economy, environment, biodiversity, human nutrition, food and nutrition security and consumer trust and acceptance. These priorities will be addressed through global partnerships forged with consortium members from Europe, North America, Israel, Thailand and New Zealand to develop and demonstrate a climate-smart, sustainable protein-food system for a healthy Europe. We will harness plant and microbial protein knowledge to significantly enhance the sustainability and resilience of a new European protein supply chain, improve professional skills and competencies, and support the creation of new jobs in the food sector and bioeconomy.
Anticancer Effect of Ginger Extract against Pancreatic Cancer Cells Mainly through Reactive Oxygen Species-Mediated Autotic Cell Death

The extract of ginger (Zingiber officinale Roscoe) and its major pungent components, [6]-shogaol and [6]-gingerol, have been shown to have an anti-proliferative effect on several tumor cell lines. However, the anticancer activity of the ginger extract in pancreatic cancer is poorly understood. Here, we demonstrate that the ethanol-extracted materials of ginger suppressed cell cycle progression and consequently induced the death of human pancreatic cancer cell lines, including Panc-1 cells. The underlying mechanism entailed autosis, a recently characterized form of cell death, but not apoptosis or necroptosis. The extract markedly increased the LC3-II/LC3-I ratio, decreased SQSTM1/p62 protein, and enhanced vacuolization of the cytoplasm in Panc-1 cells. It activated AMPK, a positive regulator of autophagy, and inhibited mTOR, a negative autophagic regulator. The autophagy inhibitors 3-methyladenine and chloroquine partially prevented cell death. Morphologically, however, focal membrane rupture, nuclear shrinkage, focal swelling of the perinuclear space and electron dense mitochondria, which are unique morphological features of autosis, were observed. The extract enhanced reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation, and the antioxidant N-acetylcystein attenuated cell death. Our study revealed that daily intraperitoneal administration of the extract significantly prolonged survival (P = 0.0069) in a peritoneal dissemination model and suppressed tumor growth in an orthotopic model of pancreatic cancer (P < 0.01) without serious adverse effects. Although [6]-shogaol but not [6]-gingerol showed similar effects, chromatographic analyses suggested the presence of other constituent(s) as active substances. Together, these results show that ginger extract has potent anticancer activity against pancreatic cancer cells by inducing ROS-mediated autosis and warrants further investigation in order to develop an efficacious candidate drug.

Unrestricted divide-expand-consolidate coupled cluster methods for large open-shell molecules

Computational chemistry is a modern and multidisciplinary subject, which underpins many areas of chemistry, physics, biology and material science. Due to recent advances in both theory and computational facilities, it is now quite clear that computational chemistry has reached the point where it should be considered as an equal partner to experiment and that in some cases it may even guide and unite the experimental efforts across multiple scientific disciplines.
The proposed “DECOS” project (Unrestricted Divide-Expand-Consolidate Coupled Cluster Methods for Large Open-Shell Molecules), addresses one of the most challenging problems of contemporary computational chemistry: the ability of theoretical modeling to describe accurately large open-shell systems (molecules with one or more unpaired electrons) at affordable computational costs. To this end the Divide-Expand-Consolidate (DEC) scheme must be extended to unrestricted formalism. The new method constitutes crucial breakthrough because it combines linear scaling and rigorous error control of the established DEC scheme with the ability of treating large open-shell systems for biological and industrial use. Indeed, magnetic and catalytic properties, reactivity and spectroscopy often must be entirely attributed to special electronic structure of the open-shell systems. Additionally, through collaboration with Oak Ridge National Laboratory, the new methods will be implemented, tested and run on “TITAN” – one of the largest super computers in the world.
Besides cutting edge science proposed in the project, it will also become a crucial step towards reaching professional maturity and independence in the applicant’s career. The project has potential for creating broad scientific impact and to establish long-term collaborations. Also, it assures the new knowledge will be secured, transferred and applied fully. The proposed developments will likewise be used and maintained for many years beyond the lifetime of the grant.
