Contribution of the institutions in the Northern region of Brazil to the development of plant cultivars and their impact on agriculture

This paper describes the development of breeding programs in northern Brazil and their main impacts on agriculture. Their contribution to the breeding of the species palm oil, acai fruit, cacao, cupuaçu, guarana, tomato, camu-camu, cocona, peach palm, and rubber was laid out in detail. Advances in breeding programs of institutions such as Embrapa, Ceplac, Inpa, and Universities require investments in infrastructure and in human and financial resources to ensure continuity and efficiency in economic, social and environmental gains. The improvement of native species, the main focus of the breeding programs of the institutions in the Northern region of Brazil, is a form of exploiting the Amazonian biodiversity for the benefit of society. Therefore, policies to foster research institutions should be a subject of deliberation and action of the scientific and technological community in Brazil.
The impact of government incentives and penalties on willingness to recycle plastic waste: An evolutionary game theory perspective

Because governments have introduced policies involving incentives and penalties to promote the recycling of plastic waste, it is important to understand the impact of such incentives and penalties on the willingness of stakeholders to participate. In this study, government is included as a player, alongside waste collectors and recyclers, in a tripartite evolutionary game model of plastic waste recycling. The study explores the evolutionary equilibrium and performs a simulation analysis to elucidate the effect of government incentives and penalties on the willingness of other players to participate in recycling. Three conclusions are drawn from this research. First, an increase in incentives or in penalties increases the probability that collectors and recyclers will participate in the recycling process. Second, policy support incentives encourage collectors and recyclers to participate in plastic waste recycling earlier than subsidy incentives do. Finally, recyclers are more sensitive than collectors to government-imposed penalties.
Nitrogen stable isotope composition and the origins of cupric nitrate mineralization

Abstract Cupric nitrate minerals are rare, but when present may record evidence of past biological activity. The cupric nitrate minerals we examined from localities around the world are broadly divided into four main groups based upon their inferred conditions of formation and δ15N values. These groups, named for their probable source of nitrogen, include: 1) termite, 2) bat, 3) atmospheric and 4) coal mine fires and natural gas. It is clear that in three of these categories, the role of past or present biological activity is critical for formation of cupric nitrate minerals. For cupric nitrate minerals associated with an atmospheric source of nitrogen the link is not clear, though a microbial source is possible. Nitrogen isotope analyses of gerhardtite and buttgenbachite mineral pairs from two localities suggest fractionation between these two minerals at ambient temperatures is 1.1‰ (Australia) to 0.8‰ (Democratic Republic of Congo). Similarly, differences between δ15N values of sal ammoniac and gerhardtite pairs suggest fractionation between these minerals at higher temperatures in coal bed fires is 1.9‰ (Pennsylvania, USA) to 1.7‰ (Germany).
A Discussion on the Relationship between Economic Growth and Land Illegal Use

At present, it is of utmost importance for China's sustainable development to coordinate the conflict between economic growth and land illegal use. In order to have a better understanding of land illegal use in economic development and provide a basis for managing land, the causes and mechanisms of land illegal use should be thoroughly investigated. This paper aims to test the causality between economic growth and land illegal use. Here, per capita GDP and the area of land illegal use were adopted to represent economic growth and land illegal use, respectively. First of all, two hypotheses of this study were presented. Second, provincial panel data of per capita GDP and area of land illegal use from 1999 to 2007 were collected. Third, the co-integration relationship between the per capita GDP and the area of land illegal use was examined. It was found that there is a long-term, balanced and stable relationship between economic growth and land illegal use. Forth, the causality between economic growth and land illegal use was analyzed using the Granger causality test. Results have proven the hypotheses of this study. It was also found that in the processes of China's industrialization and urbanization, there is a simple linear relationship between economic growth and land illegal use, and a two-way causality between economic growth and land illegal use. At the first delaying period, a two-way causality exists between economic growth and land illegal use; at the second delaying period, there is no causality exists between economic growth and land illegal use. It was also showed that economic growth is the incentive of land illegal use at the primary and secondary stages of economic growth. At the advanced stage, there is no causal relationship between economic growth and land illegal use. This is because, on the one hand, economic growth is no longer reliant on increases in land inputs; on the other hand, large-scale land illegal use shows a adverse effect on the quality of China's economic development. Some policy implications are given as follows. At present and in the future, phenomena of land illegal use exist and will continue to exist because of the great driving forces of economic growth. It is unrealistic and unnecessary to sacrifice economic growth to protect land. But disorder and excessive land illegal use would result in shortages of land resources, thus affecting food production, national security, and ultimately affect sustainable development. The effects of land illegal use on economic growth should be made full use of, and economic means, administrative means, and technical means can be taken to jointly control land illegal use within a reasonable range, making land illegal use better serve economic development.
Accurate intravenous therapy for every patient

Intravenous (IV) therapy involves administration of fluids or medications through a needle or a catheter and it is administered to over 90% of hospitalised patients. Although a simple procedure, a balanced IV therapy has a significant impact by reducing the number of complications by 59% and the length of hospital stay by 3.4 days. Currently the everyday IV treatment is administered manually and monitored visually as the infusion pumps that offer accurate treatment monitoring are very expensive and complicated to use, making them suitable only for emergencies.
A Finnish SME, Monidor, has developed high-accuracy IV infusion monitoring device based on patented technology that uses infra-red light beam drop calculation and specific measurement algorithms. This allows to offer state-of-the-art accuracy in a simple and cost effective form bringing balanced IV therapy to every bed in the hospital. Additional features such as touch-screen interface and wireless connectivity will help to lower the associated workload for the medical staff. Monidor has been developing the technology for the past two years and has reached a prototype device currently defined at TRL7. The technological excellence has been tested with Oulu University Hospital and user needs studies have been conducted with medical staff in Finland, UK, Italy and Denmark. The company has a strong team of 8 experts including doctors and engineers with experience in R&D and business development from companies such as Nokia, Microsoft and Broadcom.
Monidor is now looking to conduct the feasibility studies in order to finalize the development process and introduce the novel solution to the market. As a result of the proposed project Monidor will have a validated technology development plan, IPR strategy for EU-wide technology exploitation and a detailed business plan to commercialize the technology. According to the first estimates the company has the potential to generate revenues of more than 30MEUR by 2022.
A Smart Grid System for Reducing Energy Consumption and Energy Cost in Buildings in São Paulo, Brazil

The National Electric Energy Agency (ANEEL) of Brazil, in a bid to encourage energy-conscious energy consumption, has proposed a new sustainable energy tariff modality (the White Tariff) based on off-peak usage. This study aims to compare and contrast situations in which the White Tariff alone is used, and where it is combined with power generation from a generator set or a photovoltaic cell energy system to reduce energy costs. Furthermore, economic, environmental, and social advantages are outlined in the project summaries. Interviews and documentary analyses were conducted in a technology park that uses only the White Tariff and in condominiums that combine the White Tariff with a generator set or a photovoltaic cell system. The data generated was fed into the database of the Horosazonal software to obtain an overview of these companies. Results show that the company adopting the White Tariff alone achieved 19% and US$14,684 in annual savings. However, when the White Tariff is combined with a generator set, the smart grid project proved to be more efficient over time as it obtained an annual benefit of US$35,832 and 62.38% savings. In contrast, the smart grid project combining a photovoltaic cell energy system with the White Tariff achieved an annual benefit of US$52,712, with 68.31% savings and was 1.3 to 5.3 times more profitable than other projects, demonstrating that it was the best smart grip project studied. Furthermore, opting for the White Tariff produced advantages such as a reduction in energy consumption expenses, contributing to a reduction in power outages and blackouts, reduction in greenhouse gas emissions and boosting the company image within society. This study shows that energy-conscious consumption combined with the use of renewable energy sources is environmentally and economically advantageous and can provide future generations with a healthier environment in which people can make use of natural resources in a sustainable manner that is sustainable for planet earth.
A multivariate time series analysis of energy consumption, real output and pollutant emissions in a developing economy: New evidence from Nepal

Mountain economies will have to play a central role in attaining the global pursuit of green economic growth as crucial bearers of ecosystems goods and services. However, these economies are not adequately represented in the development policy debates in spite of their fundamental importance towards global sustainable development. This study examines the inter relationships between energy consumption, output and carbon emissions in a developing mountainous economy using an augmented Vector Autoregression model. Time-series data over the period 1975–2013 is studied applying a multivariate framework using population and gross fixed capital formation as additional variables for Nepal. Testing for Granger causality between integrated variables based on asymptotic theory reveals a long-run unidirectional Granger causality running from GDP to energy consumption, and a unidirectional Granger causality running from carbon emissions to GDP. We suggest that the government of Nepal can address energy poverty by accelerating the adoption energy conservation policies such as rationing energy consumption and energy efficiency improvements to narrow the energy supply-demand gap. The opportunity to promote the uptake of decentralised off-grid renewable technologies in remote areas and the large scale development of hydropower at the national level also needs to be prioritized. Our results remain robust across different estimators and contributes to an emerging literature on the nexus relationships between energy consumption, income and carbon emissions in mountainous developing economies.

Analysis on the relationship between selective pressure and nucleotide substitution rate in nucleus and organelle genes of sorghum and maize.

[Objective]The aim was to research the relationship between nucleotide substitutions rate and selective pressure.[Method]Synonymous and nonsynonymous substitutions and their ratios for some sorghum and maize genes in nucleus and organelle genomes were analyzed by statistical method,and comparative analysis of related functional genes were carried out.[Result]The pure selective pressures of the related functional genes were similar between nucleus and chloroplast genomes,but was lower in mitochondrial genome.The significant differences of nucleotide substitution rate between sorghum and maize orthologous genes in nucleus genome,and among different functional genes in nucleus genome were mainly due to the nonsynonymous substitution difference.[Conclusion]The molecular evolutional rate of different functional genes and different lineages were influenced by selective pressure.The differences of molecular evolutional rate among nucleus,chloroplast and mitochondria genomes had no direct relationship with selective pressure.
Military Assets as Public Spaces

MAPS intends to enhance the system of military assets and areas in the development strategies of European cities for social cohesion and inclusion purposes. The project promotes the transnational exchange of experiences and learning, in order to develop an innovative methodology of intervention and urban planning, helping Municipalities to deal with the presence of abandoned military assets and empty spaces playing a major role in the collapse of social cohesion and inclusion in some parts of the city, which do not benefit from urban development policies and urban renewal. The project may promote a profitable exchange between local authorities and the private sector, supporting the spread of a culture aimed at investing on public spaces to foster social inclusion and cohesion. Abandoned urban areas are important resources from the economic, social, environmental and cultural point of view and it is fundamental to protect, develop and rethink them in order to benefit the community in a sustainable way on the long term. The renewal of dismissed military areas is not only an opportunity for the creation of new jobs, but also an important chance to transform featureless areas into places where cultural and social exchange & inclusion can be fostered. Indeed, MAPS will answer the needs of developing urban regeneration actions where social, cultural and economic matters become integrated in order to provide a joint solution.
Hybrid entanglement of light for interconnected optical networks

In quantum information science and technology, two main encodings of information are traditionally used: a ‘discrete-variable’ (DV) approach, based for instance on single photons, and a ‘continuous-variable’ (CV) one, which relies on continuous degrees of freedom such as amplitude and phase of a light field. A mostly unexplored area combines these two different approaches to create ‘optical hybrid schemes’. Recently, entanglement between particle-like and wave-like optical qubits, i.e. CV-DV entanglement, has been generated for the first time by the host group. This resource holds the promise of heterogeneous quantum networks where the two encodings can be combined or interconverted. In this context, the proposed research activities aim at investigating, harnessing, and using the potential of this yet unexplored photonic resource.

Electro-Optical polariton router

In this proposal we plan to bring to a development stage TRL 3 an electro-optical device working at room temperature and based on polaritons (an hybrid photon-exciton particle) made of 2D perovskites and of an optical surface mode in a Distributed Bragg Reflector waveguide. Such a device could lead to extremely compact and ultrafast electro-optical modulators that can be fully integrated in a microchip to allow for fast signal communications between each peripheral component of a processor. As a matter of fact one of the major bottlenecks in processing speed is caused by retardations and dissipations in the interconnections between the CPU and the memory elements as well as other interconnect functions. Conversion of the electrical signal into an optical one can allow for faster and more efficient processing. Our prototype can allow for switching and routing of guided optical beams via electrical signals using the intrinsic nonlinearities of the hybrid photon-exciton states.
