Virtual design, virtual processing and virtual testing of metallic materials

The project VIRMETAL is aimed at developing multiscale modeling strategies to carry out virtual design, virtual processing and virtual testing of advanced metallic alloys for engineering applications so new materials can be designed, tested and optimized before they are actually manufactured in the laboratory. The focus of the project is on materials engineering i.e. understanding how the structure of the materials develops during processing (virtual processing), the relationship between this structure and the properties (virtual testing) and how to select materials for a given application (virtual design). 

Multiscale modeling will be tackled using a bottom-up, hierarchical, modeling approach. Modeling efforts will begin with ab initio simulations and bridging of the length and time scales will be accomplished through different multiscale strategies which will encompass the whole range of length and time scales required by virtual design, virtual processing and virtual testing. Nevertheless, not everything can or should be computed and critical experiments are an integral part of the research program for the calibration and validation of the multiscale strategies. 

The research will be focused on two cast metallic alloys from the Al-Si-Mg and Mg-Al-Zn systems. The expected breakthrough is precisely to demonstrate that the structure and properties of two standard engineering alloys of considerable industrial interest can be obtained from first principles by bridging a cascade of modeling tools at the different length scales. Once this is proven, further research will lead to the continuous expansion of both the number and the capability of multiscale simulation tools, leading to widespread application of Computational Materials Engineering in academia and industry. This will foster the implementation of this new revolutionary technology in leading European industries from aerospace, automotive, rail transport, energy generation and engineering sectors.
Co-inference for Multi-modal Scene Analysis

We address the problem of understanding scenes from multiple sources of sensor data (e.g., a camera and a laser scanner) in the case where there is no one-to-one correspondence across modalities (e.g., pixels and 3-D points). This is an important scenario that frequently arises in practice not only when two different types of sensors are used, but also when the sensors are not co-located and have different sampling rates. Previous work has addressed this problem by restricting interpretation to a single representation in one of the domains, with augmented features that attempt to encode the information from the other modalities. Instead, we propose to analyze all modalities simultaneously while propagating information across domains during the inference procedure. In addition to the immediate benefit of generating a complete interpretation in all of the modalities, we demonstrate that this co-inference approach also improves performance over the canonical approach.
What the patent dance of the Biosimilars Act means for biosimilars

There are currently only two biosimilars on the market in the US in contrast to the 21 biosimilars have been approved in Europe since 2006.Â Part of the reason for the lack of biosimilars is that until recently, there has been no abbreviated pathway for a biosimilar to reach the market meaning that biosimilars had to undergo the long and costly process of obtaining approval just like an innovator biologic product. After years of negotiation, however, the Biologics Price Competition and Innovation Act (the â€œBiosimilars Actâ€) was signed into law on March 23, 2010, by President Obama as Title VII of the Patent Protection and Affordable Care Act.Â The Biosimilars Act established an abbreviated pathway by which the FDA could approve generic versions of previously licensed biological products. The Biosimilars Act sets forth several requirements for biosimilar applications, including the so-called â€œPatent Danceâ€ which describes the process by which the biosimilar applicant and the reference product sponsor (â€œRPSâ€) exchange patent-related information before the biosimilar can enter the market.Â In this article, we will explore what the Patent Dance is and what it means for biosimilars that are seeking market entry in the US.Â
Structural polymorphism in multiferroic BiMnO3 at high pressures and temperatures

Abstract Structural phase transitions in BiMnO3 were studied by means of energy-dispersive X-ray diffraction in the pressure 0–4 GPa and temperature 300–900 K ranges, and also by means of angle-dispersive X-ray diffraction and Raman spectroscopy at high pressures up to 50 GPa and ambient temperature. The P–T phase diagram of BiMnO3 was constructed. A suppression of the transition temperatures between monoclinic C2/c and orthorhombic Pnma phases was observed under pressure. The temperature and pressure dependencies of lattice parameters were obtained. A new orthorhombic Imma phase was observed at P > 20 GPa. The lattice dynamics calculations were performed for the analysis of the Raman spectra of BiMnO3.

Regularity properties, definability and combinatorics on the real line.

This proposed research is in mathematical logic and foundations of mathematics, more specifically in set theory. It is motivated by the interplay between regularity properties and definability for subsets of real numbers. By ""regularity properties"" we are referring to certain desirable properties of sets, and by ""definability"" to the logical description of such sets, in the sense of Descriptive Set Theory.

The study of such questions goes back to classical issues in topology, analysis and related fields of mathematics, raised by the great pioneers of abstract mathematics of the late 19th and early 20th century, such as Georg Cantor, Emile Borel, Henri Lebesgue and others. These mathematicians were faced with seemingly insurmountable challenges which could only be resolved later with the advent of logical and meta-mathematical methods, developed by Kurt Gödel in 1938 and by Paul Cohen in 1964.

Since that time, the study of Regularity Properties has continued to hold a central position in the foundations of mathematics. Many mathematicians and logicians of high status and prestige have contributed to this area, among them W. Hugh Woodin (winner of the Hausdorff Medal 2013), Stevo Todorčević (winner of the CRM-Fields-PIMS prize 2012) and Saharon Shelah (winner of numerous awards, among them the Erdös Prize 1977 and the Karp Prize 1983).

We propose to contribute to this line of research in a number of interrelated directions, such as: studying new regularity properties (relevant to other fields of mathematics), developing abstract frameworks for such properties, studying higher complexity classes, and generalising results to spaces other than the classical real numbers. Several technical results involving the method of ""forcing"" needed to construct models of set theory, will also be worked out along the way.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR COMPENSATING FOR TIMING VARIANCES IN DIGITAL DATA TRANSMISSION CHANNELS

A high-speed digital interface circuit for use with an N bit digital data signal is disclosed. The circuit comprises a source device (12) that initially receives the N bit digital data signal, and a sink device (14) that receives the N bit digital data signal from the source device (12). The N bit digital date signal has a skew when received by the sink device (14). A detection circuit in the sink device (14) detects the skew in the N bit digital data signal and generates a skew detection signal. A line (28) supplies the skew detection signal to the source device (12). A compensation circuit in the source device (12) receives the skew detection signal and compensates for the skew in the N bit digital data signal.

On the use of the GRACE normal equation of inter-satellite tracking data for estimation of soil moisture and groundwater in Australia

Abstract. An accurate estimation of soil moisture and groundwater is essential for monitoring the availability of water supply in domestic and agricultural sectors. In order to improve the water storage estimates, previous studies assimilated terrestrial water storage variation (ΔTWS) derived from the Gravity Recovery and Climate Experiment (GRACE) into land surface models (LSMs). However, the GRACE-derived ΔTWS was generally computed from the high-level products (e.g. time-variable gravity fields, i.e. level 2, and land grid from the level 3 product). The gridded data products are subjected to several drawbacks such as signal attenuation and/or distortion caused by a posteriori filters and a lack of error covariance information. The post-processing of GRACE data might lead to the undesired alteration of the signal and its statistical property. This study uses the GRACE least-squares normal equation data to exploit the GRACE information rigorously and negate these limitations. Our approach combines GRACE's least-squares normal equation (obtained from ITSG-Grace2016 product) with the results from the Community Atmosphere Biosphere Land Exchange (CABLE) model to improve soil moisture and groundwater estimates. This study demonstrates, for the first time, an importance of using the GRACE raw data. The GRACE-combined (GC) approach is developed for optimal least-squares combination and the approach is applied to estimate the soil moisture and groundwater over 10 Australian river basins. The results are validated against the satellite soil moisture observation and the in situ groundwater data. Comparing to CABLE, we demonstrate the GC approach delivers evident improvement of water storage estimates, consistently from all basins, yielding better agreement on seasonal and inter-annual timescales. Significant improvement is found in groundwater storage while marginal improvement is observed in surface soil moisture estimates.
A prospective study on the efficacy of dupilumab in chronic rhinosinusitis with type 2 inflammation

Treatment for chronic rhinosinusitis with nasal polyps (CRSwNP) includes endoscopic sinus surgery and topic and/or systemic corticosteroids, which have only temporary effects. The development of biologic therapies has provided a new treatment paradigm for CRSwNP. Dupilumab is the only biological approved in Italy for CRSwNP, but its efficacy in a real-life context is still scarce.We carried out a monocentric prospective study at our institution with a 6-month follow-up on patients administered biweekly 300 mg dupilumab therapy for CRSwNP, prescribed according to EPOS 2020 criteria. Patients were evaluated at baseline and every 2 months.Median values at baseline and 6 months were, respectively, 3/12 and 8/12 for the Brief Smell Identification Test (p = 0.005), 5/8 and 2/8 for the Nasal Polyp Score (p < 0.001), 10/20 and 6/20 for the Lund-Kennedy score (p < 0.001), 65/110 and 14/110 for the Sinonasal Outcome Test (p < 0.001), and 15/25 and 23/25 for the Asthma Control Test score (p = 0.009). Adverse events were mild, consisting mainly in discomfort at the site of injection. Four patients developed asymptomatic hypereosinophilia. The treatment was not discontinued in any patient.Dupilumab was confirmed to be an effective and safe treatment for CRSwNP, as previously seen in registrational studies.Studio prospettico sull’efficacia di dupilumab per rinosinusite cronica con infiammazione di tipo 2.Il trattamento della rinosinusite cronica include la chirurgia nasosinusale endoscopica e la terapia steroidea locale e sistemica.

Analysis of the Water Quality of Imonite Creek in Ndoni, Rivers State, Nigeria

The water quality of the Imonite Creek was investigated based on nine water quality parameters. These include fecal coliform count, BOD, DO, phosphate, pH, TDS, nitrate, turbidity and temperature. Though heavy metals such as Mn, Fe, Pb, Zn and Ca were analysed, they recorded insignificant and trace amounts. The creek water was investigated for a period of eight months using five stratified sampling stations of A, B, C, D and E. The use of recommended standard methods were employed for the analysis of the water quality parameters. The mean observations for the various water quality parameters in the sampled months of June, September, November and January respectively are BOD, mg/l (0.27, 0.28, 0.33, 0.33), DO mg/l (3.8, 3.78, 2.72, 2.73), pH units (7.43, 7.53, 7.03, 6.95), Temperature O C (26.70, 26.40, 26.08, 24.94), TDS mg/I (27.20, 26.40, 28.00, 28.00), Total phosphate mg/l, (0.28 0.37, 0.09, 0.05), nitrate mg/l, (0.88, 0.74, 1.28, 0.97), Turbidity units (134, 138, 334, 337). Though low pollution potentials due to the negligible values were recorded, the creek water is not potable due to the turbidity and aesthetics but suitable for other beneficial uses.
Synergy of elemental Fe and Ti promoting low temperature hydrogen sorption cycling of magnesium

Abstract We studied the catalytic effects of Titanium, Iron and FeTi intermetallic on the desorption kinetics of magnesium hydride. In order to separate the catalytic effects of each element from additional synergistic and alloying effects, Mg–Ti and Mg–Fe mixtures were studied as a baseline for Mg–Fe–Ti elemental and Mg–(FeTi) intermetallic composites. Sub-micron dimensions for MgH 2 particles and excellent nanoscale catalyst dispersion was achieved by high-energy ball-milling as confirmed by analytical electron microscopy techniques. The composites containing Fe shows desorption temperature of 170 K lower than as-received MgH 2 powder, which makes it suitable to be cycled at relatively low temperature of 523 K. Furthermore, the low cycling temperature prevents the formation of Mg 2 FeH 6 . In sorption cycling tests, Mg-10% Ti and Mg-10% (FeTi), after about 5 activation cycles, show fast desorption kinetics initially, but the kinetics also degrade faster than for all other composites, eventually slowing down by a factor of 7 and 4, respectively. The ternary Mg–Fe–Ti composite shows best performance. With the highest BET surface area of 40 m 2 /g, it also shows much less degradation during cycling. This is attributed to titanium hydride acting as a size control agent preventing agglomeration of particles; while Fe works as a very strong catalyst with uniform and nanoscale dispersion on the surface of MgH 2 particles.
North atlantic fisheries: an environmental history, 1400-1700

NorFish aims to understand the restructuring of the North Atlantic fisheries, fish markets and fishery-dependent communities in the late medieval and early modern world. The project exploits a multi-disciplinary, humanities-led approach to marine environmental history, assessing and synthesizing the dynamics and significance of the North Atlantic fish revolution, equipped by methodological advances in which the PI has been to the fore in delivering. It establishes a robust quantitative framework of extractions, supplies and prices, while also charting the qualitative preferences and politics that motivated actors of the fish revolution across the North Atlantic. 
Fish contributed to environmental and societal change in the North Atlantic for over 300 years, shifting from being a high-priced, limited resource in the late Middle Ages to a low-priced, abundant one by early modern times. Conditioned by market forces, the ‘fish revolution’ of the 1500s and 1600s reshaped alignments in economic power, demography, and politics. With acute consequences in peripheral Atlantic settlements from Newfoundland to Scandinavia, it held strategic importance to all the major western European powers. While the fish revolution catalysed the globalization of the Atlantic world, we lack adequate baselines and trajectories for key questions of natural abundance, supply and demand, cultural preferences, marketing technologies, plus national and regional strategies. 
In short, the core questions are what were the natural and economic causes of the fish revolution, how did marginal societies adapt to changing international trade and consumption patterns around the North Atlantic, and how did economic and political actors respond? The answers will help explain the historic role of environment and climate change, how markets impacted marginal communities, and how humans perceived long-term change.
Reproducibility of concentric isokinetic and isometric strength measurements at the hip in patients with hip osteoarthritis: A preliminary study

To determine the reproducibility of isokinetic and isometric hip flexion, extension, abduction and adduction strengt h scores in patients with hip osteoarthritis (N = 16) and healthy subjects, testing was conducted twice 7 days apart. The patient group (PG) consisted of 16 subjects with unilateral or bilat eral osteoarthritis of the hip (11 women, 5 men; age 56-75y). The control group (CG) included 13 age-matched healthy subjects (9 women, 4 men; age 54-73y). The standard error of measurement (SEM) served as the reproducibility outcome parameter. The highest SEM values were obtained for hip extension measurements (15.4-16.7 Nm), followed by hip adduction (7.9-11.8 Nm) and hip flexion measurements (5.2-7.5 Nm). The smallest values were quantified for hip abduction measurements (4.7-7 .7 Nm). PG showed larger values in all isometric measures except for hip extension and isokinetic hip abduction. When the 95% confidence interval is incorporated, these SEMs become sign ificant. Thus clinicians should be aware of the large measurement error in patients with hip OA. Adequate preparations and firm fixa tion of the pelvis are key elements to achieve reproducible results.
Open mining infrastructure for text and data

Recent years witness an upsurge in the quantities of digital research data, offering new insights and opportunities for improved understanding. Text and data mining is emerging as a powerful tool for harnessing the power of structured and unstructured content and data, by analysing them at multiple levels and in several dimensions to discover hidden and new knowledge. However, text mining solutions are not easy to discover and use, nor are they easily combinable by end users. OpenMinTeD aspires to enable the creation of an infrastructure that fosters and facilitates the use of text mining technologies in the scientific publications world, builds on existing text mining tools and platforms, and renders them discoverable and interoperablethrough appropriate registriesand a standards-based interoperability layer, respectively. It supports training of text mining users and developers alike and demonstrates the merits of the approach through several use cases identified by scholars and experts from different scientific areas, ranging from generic scholarly communication to literaturerelated tolife sciences, food and agriculture, and social sciences and humanities. Through its infrastructural activities, OpenMinTeD’s vision is tomake operational a virtuous cycle in which a) primary content is accessed through standardised interfaces and access rules b) by well-documented and easily discoverable text mining services that process, analyse, and annotate text c) to identify patterns and extract new meaningful actionable knowledge, which will be used d) for structuring, indexing, and searching content and, in tandem, e) acting as new knowledge useful to draw new relations between content items and firing a new mining cycle. To achieve its goals, OpenMinTeD brings together different stakeholders, content providers and scientific communities, text mining and infrastructure builders, legal experts, data and computing centres, industrial players, and SMEs.

Environmental benefits of PV powered lighting products for rural areas in south east Asia: A life cycle analysis with geographic allocation

Photovoltaic (PV) lighting products are increasingly used to provide rural households in developing countries with clean and safe lighting. These households usually do not have access to electricity from a power grid and rely on either kerosene lamps or electricity from car batteries which are inefficiently charged at local charging stations. PV lighting products can deliver a higher quality of service. Moreover, they are safer and more reliable (1). Another important aspect is their environmental benefit when compared to their traditional alternatives, which we have evaluated by a life cycle assessment. Our study is based on a case in Cambodia (2).
