Social and Intercultural Dialogue through Governance for  Local development: Mediterranean Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture (UPA)

Project in brief _x000D_
_x000D_
Poverty and social exclusion take complex and multi-dimensional forms which require the mobilisation of a wide range of policies and actors. Alongside employment policy, social and intercultural dialogue has a pre-eminent role to play, while the importance of other factors such as housing, health, culture and communication should also be acknowledged. The Mediterranean area is facing a significant increase in urban groups at risk of social exclusion, although no public campaign involves Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture (UPA) as a poverty and exclusion remedial tool. In addition, UPA is an activity which has been managed primarily by private citizens and it is only recently that local governments have started to seriously look into supporting UPA activities. In this context, SIDIG-MED project aims to use Urban and Peri-urban Agriculture as a means to improve governance processes for public authorities and to promote social and intercultural dialogue through cooperative organizations and associations fighting social exclusion and poverty. Implemented in cities and territories characterized by vast agricultural areas (Rome, Al-Balga, Mahdia and Barcelona), the project will adopt permaculture* and organic farming concepts including innovative and energy-efficient techniques for water harvesting, composting to enrich the soil and beekeeping for income generation and pollination. _x000D_

New ecological bio ceramic ink based on bio-solvents for ink jet printing (bioceramink)

The goal of BIOCERAMINK project is to commercialize a new type of ceramic ink produced using solvents obtained by vegetal oil instead of solvents made of glycol ether.
The BIOCERAMINK wil be derived from vegetable oils, easily available, improving even the graphics, reducing the fouling of the heads and bars of printers, eliminating clogging or the closing of the nozzles, improving and finally reducing the cost of the inks, of about 30%.
In this way the quality of the products will improve and consequently quality of the prints, without increasing production costs. It should be added that the development of vegetable-based inks can solve the problem of the reduced availability of hydrocarbon-based solvents, such as glycol ether (TPnB), due to an over-production of related compounds pollutants, little used.
The expected results at the end of overall innovation project will be:
1. new marketable ecological products, with low content of alcohol, reduced effects of sedimentation and new range of pigments (colors);
2. full range of produce prototype inks based on components renewable and capable of becoming industrial products (pre-industrial prototypes)
3. full demonstration of BIOCERAMINK in industrial application pilots;
In order to achieve the above mentioned innovation objectives, a feasibility study is needed:
1. to carry out an extensive market analysis and validation study allowing to clearly identify and quantify main market segments, also defining main market drivers, customers desiderata and go to market strategy.
2. To define an industrial development plan aiming at setting up the requirements for a pilot plant that will simulate the reproducibility of the BIOCERAMINK product at commercial scale. The technological roadmap will drive DEF in completing the BIOCERAMINK development, according to result of market study and market validation activities.

Gather, gender and transfer of knowledge in hunter gatherer research

This project analyses feminist knowledge transfer in mainstream Science. Following the European Research Area key priority of strengthening the Gender dimension in research programs, the goal of this research is building a methodology to better understand the relations between Knowledge Production, Gendered Organisations and Methodological Challenges through a multidisciplinary case-study; hunter-gatherer (HG) research. 
The knowledge acquired on HG is deeply committed to erasing the frontiers between social and natural sciences and shedding light on the history of Humankind. HG studies are essential for understanding Human nature and how androcentrism has shaped specific disciplines and are also a promising field of research for exploring new methodologies (e.g., experimental games or social simulation). The research project examines the nature of knowledge transfer and the barriers preventing feminist knowledge from being integrated into distinct disciplines.

The research adopts a mixed method approach. The first part consists of a retrospective discourse analysis offering a cartography of feminists’ contributions based on major scientific publications within HG studies from 1960 to present. The second part is a case study combining both quantitative and qualitative techniques. The quantitative online survey will test the first assumptions and enable to identify a group of participants. Also, 40 semi-structured interviews will be conducted with specialists on HG societies. Key questions concern the structural obstacles related to organisational changes, methodologies, and the frontiers between the disciplines that prevent gender from becoming a transversal issue. This research will address how gendered power relations within Academia normalize epistemology today. Finally, a SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats) analysis will propose concrete enhancements to foster the inclusion of gender dimension in research programs.
Troublesome Differences—Dealing with Gendered Violence, Ethnicity, and ‘Race’ in the Finnish Welfare State

Forced marriages, honour-related violence, and violence in transnational marriages have been the focus of public interest in the Nordic welfare states for over a decade. The article analyses how authorities and welfare practitioners discuss differences, ‘race’, ethnicity, and gendered violence in families in this sometimes controversial societal setting. Based on 35 interviews with representatives of the police, social work, shelter movement, and NGO-led projects, it is argued that the main ways to approach the issue are ‘culture speech’ and ‘universalist speech’. In culture speech, differences can be constructed as dichotomous and hierarchical (culturalization), but also in a variable and lateral way. The universalist discourse has paradoxical effects. It functions as a counter-force to culturalization, but it also discourages and prevents discussion about how to take into account the different starting-points of the diverse clientele. The welfare state plays an important role in both. While the universa...
Implementation of modern modeling systems for bridge objects using BIM (Building Information Modelling) technology.

In the last few years, BIM (Building Information Modeling) technology has been used in Europe and the world for modeling bridges and other engineering structures in the design and communication infrastructure management process. This technology allows you to create a three-dimensional model of construction in a unified format, in which all information about it is also stored. The unification of the format means that information about all industries can be placed in the same model. Furthermore, in addition to the comprehensive model of three-dimensional constructions together with all industries, BIM technology allows the model to include all structural information, such as material properties, repairs and reinforcements, construction costs, repairs and maintenance, etc. This allows more efficient design (integration of all industries into one model allows for the elimination of design errors and losses associated with it), building management (three-dimensional model integrating all sectors with a bridge of construction allows for better integration of the construction costs and costs of other engineering). Consequently, it also reduces the amount of energy, materials and cash used, thereby implementing the objectives of a sustainable development strategy and a low-carbon economy. Therefore, BIM technology is seen as a future in the industry and in the most developed countries is already required as a standard for all larger and more complex engineering designs funded by public money. It is also recently preferred by private investors as a tool to improve the construction process.

Bottom trawling as a driver of deep seascape transformation

Bottom trawling is one of the most common fishing practices worldwide. It involves towing of nets along the seafloor to harvest benthic and demersal living resources for human consumption or industrial uses. The widespread and intensive use of these fishing activities on the continental margin has raised concerns in the European Union about the sustainability of this practice. The impacts of bottom trawling on the seafloor have been extensively investigated in shallow environments. However, very few studies have addressed the effect of continued trawling activities at depths beyond the shelf break. 
The main objective of TrawledSeas is to characterise the impact of bottom trawling, in terms of extent, rates and volume change, on the morphology of different geological and climatic deep (>200 m) seafloor settings. The project is based on an interdisciplinary approach that combines the quantitative analysis of high-resolution multibeam data with geophysical and sedimentological information, in situ observations and satellite-based vessel tracks. These data will be provided by leading research groups or derived from European and global databases of open geospatial data. A main component of the methodology consists of the development of a new automated marine landscape mapping technique to quantify the morphological signature of bottom trawling at fine and mesoscale, which will be conducted at the University of Malta and complemented at the Geological Survey of Norway. 
The collaborative nature of TrawledSeas will reinforce the researcher’s interdisciplinary background and international network. The project will also contribute to the researcher’s career development by providing technical skills on geomorphometry and research expertise on different geological settings, which will provide her with the high scientific profile necessary to develop innovative and integrative projects and to apply for national and European funding calls such as an ERC grant and Horizon 2020.
Advances in time-of-flight PET

This paper provides a review and an update on time-of-flight PET imaging with a focus on PET instrumentation, ranging from hardware design to software algorithms. We first present a short introduction to PET, followed by a description of TOF PET imaging and its history from the early days. Next, we introduce the current state-of-art in TOF PET technology and briefly summarize the benefits of TOF PET imaging. This is followed by a discussion of the various technological advancements in hardware (scintillators, photo-sensors, electronics) and software (image reconstruction) that have led to the current widespread use of TOF PET technology, and future developments that have the potential for further improvements in the TOF imaging performance. We conclude with a discussion of some new research areas that have opened up in PET imaging as a result of having good system timing resolution, ranging from new algorithms for attenuation correction, through efficient system calibration techniques, to potential for new PET system designs.
Pavlov principle and brain reverse engineering

The general principle of the operation of neural systems is considered, which makes clear the efficiency of information-computational structures consisting of neural-like elements. At the heart of the formulated principle lies the highly anticipated hypothesis of I.P. Pavlov that the correctly organized modifications of the connections between the elements and structures of the nervous system is the basis of higher nervous activity of man (in the terminology proposed by Pavlov). The possibility of a clear formulation of the principle, which is naturally called the Pavlov Principle (PP), arose only recently, as a result of the victorious procession of the family of computer training algorithms such as Deep Learning, which led to extremely efficient schemes for using fine-grained computing devices (GPU, etc.) solving cognitively complex problems. The article briefly outlines the line of development of ideas about the work of the nervous system, starting with the discovery by I.P. Pavlov of systemic conditioned reflexes, then through the neural and synaptic schemes of E. Konorsky and D. Hebb, the perceptron of F. Rosenblatt, the connectionist works of the 1980s, to modern schemes of deep learning. For the proper functioning of PP based neural networks essential is (initial) randomness of the interneuronal connections. A computational example of the solution of the model problem based on the direct application of the Pavlov Principle is given.
A direct evaluation of stress intensity factors using the Extended Dual Boundary Element Method

We introduce an alternative method in computational fracture mechanics to evaluate Stress Intensity Factors (SIFs) directly using the Extended Dual Boundary Element Method (XBEM) for 2D problems. Like other enrichment approaches, the new approach is able to yield accurate results on coarse discretisations, and the enrichment increases the problem size by only two degrees of freedom per crack tip. The BEM equations formed by collocation at nodes are augmented by two additional equations that enforce continuity of displacement at the crack tip. The enrichment approach provides the values of SIFs KI and KII directly in the solution vector and without any need for postprocessing such as the J-integral. Numerical examples are used to compare the accuracy of these directly computed SIFs to J-integral processing of both conventional and enriched boundary element approximations.

Managing Beryllium in Nuclear Facility Applications

Beryllium plays important roles in nuclear facilities. Its neutron multiplication capability and low atomic weight make it very useful as a reflector in fission reactors. Its low atomic number and high chemical affinity for oxygen have led to its consideration as a plasma-facing material in fusion reactors. In both applications, the beryllium and the impurities in it become activated by neutrons, transmuting them to radionuclides, some of which are long-lived and difficult to dispose of. Also, gas production, notably helium and tritium, results in swelling, embrittlement, and cracking, which means that the beryllium must be replaced periodically, especially in fission reactors where dimensional tolerances must be maintained. It has long been known that neutron activation of inherent iron and cobalt in the beryllium results in significant {sup 60}Co activity. In 2001, it was discovered that activation of naturally occurring contaminants in the beryllium creates sufficient {sup 14}C and {sup 94}Nb to render the irradiated beryllium 'Greater-Than-Class-C' for disposal in U.S. radioactive waste facilities. It was further found that there was sufficient uranium impurity in beryllium that had been used in fission reactors up to that time that the irradiated beryllium had become transuranic in character, making it even more difficultmore » to dispose of. In this paper we review the extent of the disposal issue, processes that have been investigated or considered for improving the disposability of irradiated beryllium, and approaches for recycling.« less
A METHOD OF MANUFACTURING AN ARCHITRAVE

The present disclosure envisages a method for manufacturing an architrave. The method comprises the step of laminating a first operative surface and a second operative surface of a core sheet to obtain a laminated core sheet. A cutting operation is performed on the laminated core sheet to obtain laminated core strips. A grooving operation is performed on a body of the laminated core strip to configure a groove of a pre-determined width on the laminated core strip. Subsequent to configuring the groove, a bonding agent is applied in the groove. A vertical element is then fitted in the groove and is pressed at a pre-determined pressure for a pre-determined time period. The advantage of the architrave, manufactured in accordance with the present disclosure, is that the installation of the architrave requires less time and effort as compared with the conventional architraves.
Well-posedness and regularity of partial differential equation control systems

Wellposed and regular linear systems are a quite general class of linear infinite-dimensional systems, which cover many control systems described by partial differential equations with actuators and sensors supported at isolated points, sub-domain, or on a part of the boundary of the spatial region. This class of infinite-dimensional systems, although the input and output operators are allowed to be unbounded, possess many properties that parallel in many ways to finite-dimensional systems. In this talk, I shall introduce briefly the development of this theory with exemplification of one-dimensional vibrating system control. The relations among well-posedness, exact controllability, and exponential stability under the proportional feedback control for the abstract first order and second order collocated systems are specially emphasized. The focus will be on the abstract formulation, verification of well-posedness and regularity of multi-dimensional Schrodinger equation, wave equation, plate equation, and coupled both weakly and strongly wave equations with variable coefficients. Finally, the significance of well-posedness is also illustrated by non-collocated control of multi-dimensional wave equations.
Driving smart industrial growth through value chain innovation

CHAIN REACTIONS addresses the challenge for industrial regions not benefitting from innovation activities from large leading corporations to increase regional capacity to absorb new knowledge and turn it into competitiveness edge and business value. There is a strong need to help SMEs to overcome capacity shortages for innovation and integration into transnational value chains.
The project aims at empowering regional ecosystems with the knowledge and tools to help businesses overcome those barriers and generate sustained growth through value chain innovation.
CHAIN REACTIONS focuses thereby on modern approaches considering value chains and their complex developments rather than linear technology transfer approaches. The framework of value chain innovation builds on Porter’s 5 forces framework (new entrants, substitutes, customers, suppliers and rivalry) and transversal innovation drivers: key enabling technologies,  resource efficiency, digital transformation and service innovation. The focus is on key sectors: advanced manufacturing , ICT and electronics, energy and environment, health and bioeconomy in accordance with their S3 priorities and will:Develop practical instruments (e.g. maturity models) to measure innovation potential and capacity of businesses for the application of the innovation drivers, as wells as instruments enabling to foster and support value chain innovation processes.Set up triple helix Innovation and Growth Alliances and developing their capacity to support value chain innovation through training and practical implementation.Set up value chain observatories to analyse selected industrial sectors and their value chains, and implement the models and instruments developed (pilot).Foster transnational S3 implementation and the emergence of new transnational value chains by creating transnational open spaces for collaboration in the selected industrial sectors.
