New full-electric propulsion system, completely submerged in water, for zero-emissions navigation

The goal of our project is to launch on the boating market a zero-emissions propulsion system that can be installed on boats up to 10-12 metres long. This goal will be reached by developing an electric propulsion system that is completely submerged in water.  With its wide range of power (10-25-50 Kw) and high endurance (over 2 hours), it will be able to be installed on both pleasure craft and passenger boats.
The strength points of our solution will be:
- integration of motor, propeller and power-assisted steering into a housing submerged in the water.  This latter feature is particularly important, since it significantly simplifies the mechanical design of the motor, which will no longer require a cooling system. The unit will be particularly compact, so the technology can be used even on small to mid-sized boats;
- an operating endurance that can be varied to meet the individual requirements of final users by having the option of installing batteries that are more or less powerful and which can even be supplemented with other energy production technologies such as photocells, mini-wind power and a small endothermic generator for emergency use.        
The new propulsion system drives the propeller shaft directly.  No reduction gear is used, thus mechanical losses are eliminated.
A sophisticated software control system will be developed to allow manoeuvres in tight waterways, even using a joystick. More precisely, when two motors are installed in parallel, the system will allow each motor to turn independently, thus allowing lateral movement that would not otherwise be possible. To further enhance the project, a BMS (battery management system) has been specifically developed to control the batteries.   
We plan to offer a solution that fully meets the needs of the market regarding boats up to 10-12 metres, which consists of more than 63,000 new boats sold every year and which totally produce approx. 113,000 tons of CO2.

A rotor fault intelligence diagnosis system based on virtual instrument

In order to get the rotor fault characteristic component in stator current, an advanced correlation algorithm is presented in this paper. Because of faster and multi-channel ADC subsystem, S3C2410 ARM is chosen as the core of stator current acquisition to meet the need of spectrum analysis. By programming on LabWindows/CVI — a virtual instrument development tool, the fault information can be separated from stator current signal. Then make the spectrum analysis to the residual signal, the broken bar fault can be diagnosed easily. The results of experiment indicate that a reliable and portable system can be realized to meet the purpose of testing and diagnosing the faults of induction motors in-situation, and method is feasible and effective.
Numerical verification and experimental validation of the FEM model of collecting electrodes in a dry electrostatic precipitator

The subject of the present work is the numerical verification and experimental validation of the FEM model which would enable us to analyse the vibrations of collecting electrodes. The effectiveness of electrostatic precipitators (ESP) depends on many factors. One of these factors is the efficiency of periodic cleaning of the collecting electrodes; thus the dust is removed by inducing vibrations. These vibrations are caused by the axial impact of a hammer on an anvil beam. In the course of the impact, and afterwards, the stresses due to the impact are produced in both the rapper system and in the collecting electrode section. The paper presents a modified finite element method which can be used in simulations and to analyse the vibrations of collecting electrodes. In the verification process the calculation results obtained were compared with those from commercial software (Abaqus). The calculations and measured results were compared for validation. The comparisons were made using peak and RMS (root-mean-squared) values as well as special factors and hit rates. An acceptable compatibility of the results proves that the model can be applied in the analysis of vibrations of electrodes in design practice.
Strengths and Weaknesses of Global Positioning System (GPS) Data-Loggers and Semi-structured Interviews for Capturing Fine-scale Human Mobility: Findings from Iquitos, Peru

Quantifying human mobility has significant consequences for studying physical activity, exposure to pathogens, and generating more realistic infectious disease models. Location-aware technologies such as Global Positioning System (GPS)-enabled devices are used increasingly as a gold standard for mobility research. The main goal of this observational study was to compare and contrast the information obtained through GPS and semi-structured interviews (SSI) to assess issues affecting data quality and, ultimately, our ability to measure fine-scale human mobility. A total of 160 individuals, ages 7 to 74, from Iquitos, Peru, were tracked using GPS data-loggers for 14 days and later interviewed using the SSI about places they visited while tracked. A total of 2,047 and 886 places were reported in the SSI and identified by GPS, respectively. Differences in the concordance between methods occurred by location type, distance threshold (within a given radius to be considered a match) selected, GPS data collection frequency (i.e., 30, 90 or 150 seconds) and number of GPS points near the SSI place considered to define a match. Both methods had perfect concordance identifying each participant's house, followed by 80-100% concordance for identifying schools and lodgings, and 50-80% concordance for residences and commercial and religious locations. As the distance threshold selected increased, the concordance between SSI and raw GPS data increased (beyond 20 meters most locations reached their maximum concordance). Processing raw GPS data using a signal-clustering algorithm decreased overall concordance to 14.3%. The most common causes of discordance as described by a sub-sample (n=101) with whom we followed-up were GPS units being accidentally off (30%), forgetting or purposely not taking the units when leaving home (24.8%), possible barriers to the signal (4.7%) and leaving units home to recharge (4.6%). We provide a quantitative assessment of the strengths and weaknesses of both methods for capturing fine-scale human mobility.
Evaluation of supply chain performance using delivery-time performance analysis chart approach

Abstract Variability reduction and business synchronization are acknowledged as keys to achieving timely deliveries in supply chain networks. The evaluation of delivery performance is a crucial component in the overall management and time control of a supply chain. This study uses lead time, delivery window and delivery performance chart (DPC) to measure the delivery performance of every stage in a serial supply chain. Lead time is an important delivery performance metric for organizations. DPC, which is integrated by the process capability indices (PCIs) and the concept of Motorola Six-Sigma, is proposed to provide several simultaneously visualized important features of delivery performance in a supply chain. We also consider the uncertainty of the estimated PCIs caused by sampling data and plot their lower confidence bounds (LCBs) in the DPC to measure the minimum delivery capability of each stage in the supply chain. Finally, a case study related to a supply chain of notebook industry is presented to d...
Assessment and management of pain in chronic wounds: a national survey of Australian health care practitioners caring for people with chronic wounds

Background Pain is one of the key characteristics which distress patients with chronic wounds. Chronic wound pain has a significant impact on the patient’s quality of life and delays wound healing. Assessment and management of pain during wound dressing changes is well addressed, however, chronic persistent wound pain is underassessed and under-treated resulting in patients’ perception that wound pain is something they have to suffer or manage themselves. The purpose of this study was to investigate wound practitioners assessment of chronic persistent wound pain. It sought to identify what assessment tools are utilised in determining the level of pain, the frequency of assessment and how the pain is managed.

An efficient floating structure and installation of offshore large wind turbines.

WHO WE ARE? BERIDI is a spin-out company of Berenguer Ingenieros, founded in 2018, as the division of the group specialized in the offshore wind energy sector. Our group is a leading seashore engineering firm, which has worked in more than 1,200 projects in Spain and LATAM, including + 40 multimillion projects.

THE PROBLEM: EU must install 230-450 GW new offshore capacity before 2050 to fulfil the Green Deal Goals. but current space available in shallow imposes a limit of 112 GW. Only new floating platforms can help EU fulfil its objectives, but the installation of floating turbines is still technically challenging, very expensive and highly time-consuming, especially for the largest turbines (>15 MW).

THE SOLUTION: We have patented a new floating technology that enables the safest and most efficient (time, costs and performance) installation of turbines in deep waters. ARCHIME3 is, to the best of our knowledge, the only technology today that will enable the installation of the largest turbines (15-20 MW) in deep waters in an efficient and safe manner.

MARKET OPPORTUNITY: The market opportunity at a global level for now to 2030, reaches more than €20 Billion. Just by achieving a market penetration of 10%, our market opportunity can reach €2 Billion from now until 2030. Our financial projections for 2026, when we expect to have installed our first wind farm (400 MW), would mean €44M of cumulated turnover, €20M of cumulated EBIDTA and close to €240M of company value, meaning a x13 ROI for the investment (2.4 M Grant + 4.8 M equity) requested to the EIC for this project.
Sensory attributes of wine influenced by variety and berry shading discriminated by NMR metabolomics

Sensory analysis of wine is expensive and time consuming. Alternatives to characterise aspects of wine flavour and aroma are thus highly desirable. Here, it can be demonstrated that certain mouth-feel parameters identified from sensory analysis can be strongly correlated to NMR-based metabolomics analysis of wine. Wines were made from Cabernet Sauvignon and Shiraz grapes (Vitis vinifera L.) subjected to different levels of sun exposure in a commercial vineyard in the Sunraysia region of Victoria, Australia. Descriptive analysis revealed that the wines from the shaded treatment were significantly different from other treatments for a number of flavour and aroma characters, particularly those related to mouth-feel. Metabolomic analysis allowed classification of the wines based on grape variety and shade treatment in a manner similar to that by sensory analysis. The NMR analysis described here is rapid, inexpensive and allows the simultaneous assessment of multiple metabolites contributing to wine quality. Metabolomic analysis of wine may therefore offer a more affordable technique to investigate certain sensory aspects of wine.
Urban downburst vulnerability and damage assessment from a case study in Argentina

This paper presents a study of the damage pattern caused by a severe storm consisting of a downburst, a type of gustnado, and a tornado on Bell Ville, Argentina. Two damage surveys were conducted, one involving around 4000 questionnaires, which afforded both quantitative and qualitative insights about the damage on infrastructure, building components, and trees. Key findings include the identification of the most vulnerable urban elements which represented a significant portion of overall damage. Damage interdependencies among urban elements were also identified. The findings gained in this study help to characterize the vulnerability of this and similar cities for the most frequent intensity of downbursts, and along with some general recommendations which are also presented, they can inform local building codes, land-use regulations, and community development ordinances for cities facing this type of hazard in order to increase resilience.
Specimen homogeneity requirements for EDS in high count rate mode

This work describes limits with pile-up correction considering EDS spectra evaluation in the case of processing high count rate spectra from inhomogeneous specimen areas. The pulse processor pile-up rejection has some limitations with detection of X-ray event coincidences. Therefore, remaining pile-up artefacts are always present in measured spectra and it is necessary to consider these artefacts to avoid mistakes in qualitative and quantitative results. Any pile-up calculation is based on probabilities for coincidences of X-rays, some of which cannot be resolved by pile-up rejection due to the constantly limited time resolution. A fundamental assumption with all calculation approaches is the time-related random distribution of emitted X-rays. This rule is violated with spectra from inhomogeneous specimen areas. Examples are shown and opportunities to avoid the fundamental shortcoming are discussed.
Challenges to agroecosystem management.

<title>Abstract</title> As growth in population, gross domestic product (GDP) and consumption continues, further demands are placed on land, water and other resources. The resulting degradation can threaten the food security of poor people in fragile environments, particularly those whose livelihoods rely largely on agricultural activities. The concept of diversified or multifunctional agroecosystems is a relatively recent response to the decline in the quality of the natural resource base. Today, the question of agricultural production has evolved from a purely technical issue to a more complex one characterized by social, cultural, political and economic dimensions. Multifunctional agroecosystems carry out a variety of ecosystem services, such as the regulation of soil and water quality, carbon sequestration, support for biodiversity and sociocultural services, as well as meeting consumers' needs for food. In turn, these systems also rely on ecosystem services provided by adjacent natural ecosystems, including pollination, biological pest control, maintenance of soil structure and fertility, nutrient cycling and hydrological services. However, poor management practices in agroecosystems can also be the source of numerous disservices, including loss of wildlife habitat, nutrient runoff, sedimentation of waterways, greenhouse gas emissions, and pesticide poisoning of humans and non-target species. This chapter discusses the challenges to agroecosystem management, and how adopting a diversified approach will enable farmers to farm longer and more sustainably in an environment of greater uncertainty, in the face of climate change.
Sustainability of the land-­sea system for eco-tourism strategies.

The Land-Sea project contributes to tackle the issue of the management policies for the coastal areas, by especially addressing the preservation of the land­-sea eco­system and its sustainable fruition for proposed socio­ economic development connected to eco-tourism strategies. For coastal areas, we mean a complex system identified not only with the coastline itself but also with its various subsystems and with its linked river basins. In fact, the EU coastal areas represent fragile and vulnerable systems in physical, territorial, anthropic, social and economic terms. The challenge of the project is to turn "defensive" measures into "pro­-active" occasions for promoting interventions of regional growth in the field of the eco­-tourism sector and its connected fields. The general objective of the project is to favour a more inclusive, effective and efficient processes of regional governance so to increase and to encourage the creation of institutional competences and skills for the development of a sustainable coastal system, able to preserve natural habitats and contextually to support the development of regional eco-tourism strategies.
The approach is founded on a participated process of interregional learning, based on the exchange of experience and knowledge, finalized to the production of the 4 action plans to implement, during the last period, mainly within the Structural Funds Operational Programmes of the concerned regions. The expected result is the improvement of the 4 chosen regional Policy Instruments, thanks to a better governance of the Instruments and to the proposal of new projects and/or new measures of intervention. This change will be concrete and will interest both the Managing Authorities, the concerned directorates, the individuated stakeholders and the beneficiaries of the chosen Programmes/Plans (i.e. local authorithies, economic operators in the field of the eco-tourism sector and of the environmental management of the coastal areas).
Time-related surface modification of denture base acrylic resin treated by atmospheric pressure cold plasma

The changes of denture base acrylic resin surface properties under cold plasma and the relationships with time were investigated. Cold plasma treated the specimens for 30 s, 60 s, 90 s, and 120 s, respectively. Water contact angles were measured immediately after the treatment, 48 h, 15 days and 30 days later. Surface roughness was measured with 3-D laser scanning microscope. Candida albicans adherence was evaluated by CFU counting. Chemical composition was monitored by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. Water contact angle reduced after treated for 30 s. No changes were observed with time prolonged, except the durability. There were no differences in roughness among all groups. However, treatment groups showed significantly lower C. albicans adherence. XPS demonstrated a decrease in C/O, and this reduction was affected by treatment time. Cold plasma was an effective means of increasing hydrophilicity of acrylic resin and reducing C. albicans adherence without affecting physical properties.

Fifty Communities Putting Prevention to Work: Accelerating Chronic Disease Prevention Through Policy, Systems and Environmental Change

The burden of preventable chronic diseases is straining our nation's health and economy. Diseases caused by obesity and tobacco use account for the largest portions of this preventable burden. CDC funded 50 communities in 2010 to implement policy, systems, and environmental (PSE) interventions in a 2-year initiative. Funded communities developed PSE plans to reduce obesity, tobacco use, and second-hand smoke exposure for their combined 55 million residents. Community outcome objectives and milestones were categorized by PSE interventions as they related to media, access, promotion, pricing, and social support. Communities estimated population reach based on their jurisdiction's census data and target populations. The average proportion of each community's population that was reached was calculated for each intervention category. Outcome objectives that were achieved within 12 months of program initiation were identified from routine program records. The average proportion of a community's jurisdictional population reached by a specific intervention varied across interventions. Mean population reach for obesity-prevention interventions was estimated at 35%, with 14 (26%) interventions covering over 50% of the jurisdictional populations. For tobacco prevention, mean population reach was estimated at 67%, with 16 (84%) interventions covering more than 50% of the jurisdictional populations. Within 12 months, communities advanced over one-third of their obesity and tobacco-use prevention strategies. Tobacco interventions appeared to have higher potential population reach than obesity interventions within this initiative. Findings on the progress and potential reach of this major initiative may help inform future chronic disease prevention efforts.
Water Resources Vulnerability Assessment in the Yanggongjiang Watershed in Lijiang,China

An index system,including 17 indicators covering five aspects—— Driver- Pressure- State- Impact- Response( DPSIR model),was constructed to assess the water resource vulnerability( WRV) in the Yanggongjiang watershed in Lijiang,China. The weights of the indicators were calculated using the analytic hierarchy process( AHP). The result illustrated that the WRV degree was extreme high,high,and median in the watershed in 2008,2020,and 2030 respectively. It delineated that the risk would remain highalthough the WRV degree would reduce significantly after implementing the water resource master plan in the future in the Lijiang plain. Water resource management need to be reinforced in the watershed in order to address the coming difficulties and challenges.
