Rare earth free innovative truck traction

Rare Earth Free Innovative Truck Traction (REFITT) will see the full commercialisation of HDSRM, a unique, rare-earth magnet free traction motor concept for use in electric commercial vehicles. The commercial vehicle sector is not well supported by Tier 1 suppliers of electric traction motors, necessary to see the wide spread adoption of zero emissions electric vehicles in our cities. This new traction motor technology has already been proven to TRL6 in a 7.5 tonne parallel hybrid truck and is currently being readied for trial in a range extended truck. REFITT will allow Newcastle University spin-out company, Advanced Electric Machines Ltd, to become such a Tier 1. HDSRM takes the benefits of Switched Reluctance Motor technology and overcomes its weaknesses, through the use of a patent-pending drive configuration, allowing a six phase motor to be driven from an industry standard three phase inverter. This configuration has been demonstrated to increase performance whilst reducing torque ripple and acoustic noise, to levels equivalent to machines which need rare earth magnets; but without the need to use these expensive materials which fall at the top of the EU's critical list. REFITT will support Advanced Electric Machines Ltd in fully proving this traction motor technology, enabling a full process of design for manufacture, undertaking extended vehicle trails in trucks and buses whilst also undertaken the off-vehicle testing to fully prove the system. The company will also prepare itself to become a supplier acceptable to OEMs, putting in place quality management systems and processes and establishing world class facilities. The company is already partnered with a Truck manufacturer and has established links with Bus, Taxi and even Boat builders. REFITT will therefore establish a new leading supplier of traction drives, offering class leading technology, in the critical but poorly served commercial vehicle sector.
High quality fuel production system from plastics, industrial oil and refinery residues.

Kurata Systems Process represents an alternative production method of high added value fuels from residues such as plastics, used industrial oil and refinery residue. We obtained diesel C and other fuels that meet the legislation specifications. Although we have an adequate quality fuel to introduce into the market, the limitation in our productivity scale keeps off the commercialization of our fuels. Based on our pilot-plant results, the objective of this project is to scale-up a continuous process with three different processing lines for each feedstock (plastic, industrial oil and refinery residue) in a new plant.

This project involves an alternative source of fuel, reducing energy supply risks with the corresponding dependance of other countries.  Additionally Kurata is involved as a waste management project.
Land Use, Climate and Transport of Nutrients: Evidence Emerging from the Lake Vicocase Study

Soil erosion is a Europe-wide problem, causing both loss of soil fertility and pollution due to nutrient transport into water bodies. This process is particularly important in the Mediterranean area, where the climate, characterised by long periods of drought followed by intense precipitation, favours soil erosion. Research carried out in this field has amply described this process, showing that climate and land use/land cover (LU/LC) are the two main factors regulating this phenomenon. However, the interaction between these factors is complex and experimental research is needed to understand the nutrient loads deriving from different land uses. This paper shows the results of a long-term monitoring project carried out in the Lake Vico basin (central Italy), using high resolution data and runoff samples to determine the phosphorus (P) export from four different LU/LC classes resulting from the same climatic event. The results highlight the fundamental role that LU/LC plays in terms of phosphorus load. Furthermore, the results appear to indicate that the maximum rainfall registered for 30' (I 30, max), rather than the total quantity of precipitation, has the greatest effect on levels of erosion, and consequently on the migration of nutrients rather than the total quantity of precipitation can affect on erosion and therefore the migration of nutrients. These data could contribute to scientific planning support for land management choices aimed at controlling water pollution from non-point pollution sources.
Magnocellular facilitation of flanked-letter identification disappears with strong flanker interference

Previously, we obtained evidence to suggest that the magnocellular system may reduce interference from flankers during flanked-letter identification. To understand this phenomenon better, we combined the data of our previous experiments, which all used the same flanking letter, and focused on the different target letters that were used. The new analysis showed that after an initial increase, magnocellular facilitation decreased and ultimately disappeared, as the target–flanker combination's level of interference increased. The initial increase was partly while the later decrease was fully replicated in two new experiments that focused on two different target letters while manipulating flanker identity. The outcome of a third new experiment studying the type of interference reduced suggested that although crowding contributed to total interference, it was insensitive to magnocellular mediation. Our results may be understood to reflect the involvement of the magnocellular system in an attentional-selection ...

Instrumental seismic catalogue of Mt. Etna earthquakes (Sicily, Italy): ten years (2000-2010) of instrumental recordings

&lt;p&gt;Instrumental seismic catalogues are an essential tool for the zonation of the territory and the production of seismic hazard maps. They are also a valuable instrument for detailed seismological studies regarding active volcanoes and, above all, for interpreting the magma dynamics and the evolution of eruptive phenomena. In this paper, we show the first instrumental earthquake catalogue of Mt. Etna, for the period 2000-2010, with the purpose of producing a homogeneous dataset of 10 years of seismological observations. During this period, 16,845 earthquakes have been recorded by the seismic network run by the Istituto Nazionale di Geofisica and Vulcanologia, Osservatorio Etneo, in Catania. A total of 6,330 events, corresponding to approximately 40% of all earthquakes recorded, were located by using a one-dimensional VP velocity model. The magnitude completeness of the catalogue is equal to about 1.5 for the whole period, except for some short periods in 2001 and 2002-2003 and at the end of 2009. The reliability of the data collected is supported by the good values of the main hypocentral parameters through the time. The spatial distribution of seismicity allowed the highlighting of several seismogenetic areas characterized by different seismic rates and focal depths. This seismic catalogue represents a fundamental tool for several research aiming to a better understanding of the behavior of an active volcano such as Mt. Etna.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt; &lt;/div&gt;
Effects of Different Ocean Tide Models on GPS Baseline Solutions in Coast Area,East Antarctica

Ocean tide loading(OTL),which is usually computed from an ocean tide model,is a factor that cannot be ignored in high accuracy GPS data processing.Due to the lack of highly accurate altimetry data and the presence of sea ice,the polar region is one of the regions where ocean tide model has the lowest accuracy in the world.To show the intermodel discrepancies on polar regions and the effect of OTL on GPS baseline solutions,the OTL computed by seven different models(FES2004,DTU10,ETO11 a,GOT4.7,HAMTIDE11 a,OSU12,and TPXO.7.2)at Zhongshan and six other IGS stations in the coastal area of East Antarctica were calculated,and the effects of these seven models on GPS baseline solutions were compared using GAMIT software.The results show that,the effect of OTL on GPS baseline solutions was subjected to the station locations and baseline directions,and can reach centimeter level and 10-8 for absolute and relative accuracy,respectively.The effects of OTL must be considered during high accuracy GPS data processing.The effects of OTLs computed from different ocean tide models on GPS baseline solutions for the coastal area of East Antarctica are not significant and can be disregarded.
Wearable Audio Monitoring: Content-Based Processing Methodology and Implementation

Developing audio processing tools for extracting social-audio features are just as important as conscious content for determining human behavior. Psychologists speculate these features may have evolved as a way to establish hierarchy and group cohesion because they function as a subconscious discussion about relationships, resources, risks, and rewards. In this paper, we present the design, implementation, and deployment of a wearable computing platform capable of automatically extracting and analyzing social-audio signals. Unlike conventional research that concentrates on data which have been recorded under constrained conditions, our data were recorded in completely natural and unpredictable situations. In particular, we benchmarked a set of integrated algorithms (sound speech detection and classification, sound level meter calculation, voice and nonvoice segmentation, speaker segmentation, and prediction) to obtain speech and environmental sound social-audio signals using an in-house built wearable device. In addition, we derive a novel method that incorporates the recently published audio feature extraction technique based on power normalized cepstral coefficient and gap statistics for speaker segmentation and prediction. The performance of the proposed integrated platform is robust to natural and unpredictable situations. Experiments show that the method has successfully segmented natural speech with 89.6% accuracy.

Legal Interpretations of the Works of St. Thomas Aquinas

the intention of this paper is to classify the main legal interpretations of the work of st. thomas aquinas and to describe the more common misconceptions about his legal thinking. the reason for adopting a bipartite classification that divides explanatory interpretations and thomistic thinking is explained. the interpretations that only seek to make clear what aquinas says are addressed and his lines of thought are analyzed, drawing on several of the more important authors who have developed them. Against this backdrop, the paper ends with an indication of what have been the most common errors in the legal interpretation of thomistic thought.
Photon beam audits for radiation therapy clinics: a pilot mailed dosemeter study in Turkey

A thermoluminescent dosemeter (TLD) mailed dose audit programme was performed at five radiotherapy clinics in Turkey. The intercomparison was organised by the University of Wisconsin Radiation Calibration Laboratory (UWRCL), which was responsible for the technical aspects of the study including reference irradiations, distribution, collection and evaluation. The purpose of these audits was to perform an independent dosimetry check of the radiation beams using TLDs sent by mail. Acrylic holders, each with five TLD chips inside and instructions for their irradiation to specified absorbed dose to water of 2 Gy, were mailed to all participating clinics. TLD irradiations were performed with a 6 MV linear accelerator and (60)Co photon beams. The deviations from the TL readings of UWRCL were calculated. Discrepancies inside the limits of ±5 % between the participant-stated dose, and the TLD-measured dose were considered acceptable. One out of 10 beams checked was outside this limit, with a difference of 5.8 %.
Class entities from timber house production sector in Brazil

Corporate representativeness is an important issue for engineering and its industrial sectors, considering that producer associations can defend represent the rights and ambitions of their members. This study aims to investigate timber housing producer participation in generalist organizations, as well as to identify which examples of class entities could be created to consolidate this industry in the Brazilian scenario. A short survey was personally applied to entrepreneurs from the timber house production sector in Brazil. This survey was based in four qualitative queries, whose responses were converted into percentage. The studied producers revealed that the sector does not have an official organization to represent them, forcing them to search for different representation mechanisms from other sectors related to this industry. The lack of corporate and/or labor representation is visible to the point where several interviewed entrepreneurs declared the need to create unions for workers, as well as class associations for producers. Thus, suggestions for a new organization were described to establish a direction for organizing this sector in Brazil.
Dealing with Ocean Acidification: The Problem, the Clean Water Act, and State and Regional Approaches

Ocean acidification is often referred to as climate change’s “evil twin.” As the global ocean continually absorbs much of the anthropogenic carbon dioxide produced through the burning of fossil fuels, its pH is dropping, causing a plethora of chemical, biological, and ecological impacts. These impacts immediately threaten local and regional fisheries and marine aquaculture and pose a longer-term risk of a global mass extinction event. As with climate change itself, the ultimate solution to ocean acidification is a world-wide reduction in carbon dioxide emissions. In the interim, however, the Center for Biological Diversity has worked long and hard to apply the federal Clean Water Act to ocean acidification, while states and coastal regions are increasingly pursuing more broadly focused responses to its local and regional impacts. This Article provides a first assessment of these relatively nascent legal efforts to address ocean acidification, concluding that ocean acidification should prompt renewed Clean Water Act attention to stormwater runoff and nutrient pollution but also that more comprehensive adaptation law and policy will become and increasingly necessary part of coastal state and regional responses to ocean acidification.
Higher-order phase transitions with line-tension effect

The behavior of energy minimizers at the boundary of the domain is of great importance in the Van de Waals-Cahn-Hilliard theory for fluid-fluid phase transitions, since it describes the effect of the container walls on the configuration of the liquid. This problem, also known as the liquid-drop problem, was studied by Modica in [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincare, Anal. non lineaire 4 (1987) 487–512], and in a different form by Alberti et al. in [Arch. Rational Mech. Anal. 144 (1998) 1–46] for a first-order perturbation model. This work shows that using a second-order perturbation Cahn-Hilliard-type model, the boundary layer is intrinsically connected with the transition layer in the interior of the domain. Precisely, considering the energies where u is a scalar density function and W and V are double-well potentials, the exact scaling law is identified in the critical regime, when .

Structure-Function relationship of chimeric kdpfabc complex

The structure-function relationships that explain the transport mechanism of membrane proteins on a molecular level are poorly understood and define one of the most complex and interdisciplinary research fields at the interface of Biology, Chemistry and Physics. Here I propose the investigation of the KdpFABC complex for the potassium uptake into the cell. It combines features of three membrane transport systems (P-type ATPases, channels and ABC transporters), which traditionally are considered to be mechanistically and structurally distinct. I propose to decipher the mechanism of action of the KdpFABC system, which is likely to overthrow the conceptual boundaries conventionally used to describe membrane transport mechanisms. The work might lead to the design of novel antibiotics, as these systems are exclusively found in prokaryotes. The structural studies will be conducted exploiting the recent breakthroughs in high-resolution single particle cryo electron microscopy (cryo-EM) that will be established by me as experienced researcher and thereby contribute to the cutting-edge research at UG. The complementary expertise of myself in structural biology and of Prof. Slotboom, as a world-leading scientist in the functional characterization of membrane proteins, are ideally suitable for the successful completion of the research objectives. Ultimately, this project will provide me a unique opportunity to establish myself as an independent researcher and use the knowledge and skills acquired to obtain an academic position within the EU.
Monetary economics and communication: new data, new tools, new and old questions

In the last 25 years, communication has become a core lever of monetary policy. This has important implications for academic research in monetary economics -- an area intrinsically linked to the policy environment. The framework change raises new questions, and we must rethink how we empirically study existing questions. We need new approaches and new data. 

My ground-breaking research agenda, rooted in important academic questions, comprises of 6 pioneering projects across 3 related themes that emphasise the increasingly-important role of central bank communication in policy.

Theme I concerns the fundamental empirical question in monetary economics: what is the effect of monetary policy? Though an old question, two projects innovate by using tools from data science to develop new measures of monetary and information shocks from central bank communication. 

Three projects in Theme II examine the issue of monetary communication and expectations management. The projects will (i) test, for the first time, the Morris-Shin prediction that communication might overly-coordinate expectations formation; (ii) develop a rich, new high-frequency dataset of expectations for EU countries to enable us to better address the questions in this theme; and (iii) develop new surveys and pioneering research on the role of the communication in affecting expectations of the general public.

Theme III examines the complex interaction between monetary policy and uncertainty; monetary policy both reacts to shocks to the economy, but it is also a source of policy uncertainty.  We shall develop new indices of each type of uncertainty. This unique combination is central to our being able to understand the complex, but vital, relationship.

The novelty of the data and the complexity of analysing communication make this research program highly ambitious. Nonetheless, the importance of developing our academic understanding make this agenda incredibly high-return.

HAND-HELD, BATTERY POWERED CLEANING TOOL WITH STAND

A hand held cleaning tool (100) is powered by commonly available batteries (114). An output shaft (158) of the tool includes an expandable coupling, such as, for example a set of swaging cams (202). Torque delivery arms (644) radiate outward from the output shaft (158). For example, the torque delivery arms are carried by a hub (170). The hub (170) is attached to the output shaft (158) with a pin (168) and acts to secure a power train to a housing of the tool. The torque delivery arms (644) are received in slots or interdental spaces associated with a cleaning head (430). Torque is delivered to the cleaning head (430) with a reduced stress concentration. The cleaning tool (100) is associated with a compact stand. The stand can be incorporated into a housing of the tool. For example, a battery compartment door can include the stand (908). Alternatively, the stand can be a separable item. A separable stand (1410) can accommodate a plurality of cleaning heads.
