The Cyclic and Sequence Stratigraphic Characteristics of the Visean–Serpukhovian Deposits in the Southern Part of the Moscow Syneclise

The composition and origin of the Visean–Serpukhovian deposits in the southern part of the Moscow Syneclise have been characterized based upon generalizations of our own results and analysis of published and unpublished data. The levels of karst-influenced rocks correspond to the shallowest biogenic carbonate organogenic-clastic sediments of the initial and final phases of the eustatic cycle, i.e., the early transgression (transgressive system tract) and the late regression (the second half of the high-standing tract). Alluvial sands of the Oka River have been found in the karst cavities. A generalized model of the sequence has been proposed and a sequence stratigraphic interpretation of the studied section has been carried out.
Beyond evidence: a critical appraisal of global warming as a socio-scientific issue and a reflection on the changing nature of scientific literacy in school

Tom G. K. Bryce and Stephen P. Day’s (2013) original article on scepticism and doubt in science education explores the context of citizens’ attitudes towards the complexities and uncertainties of global issues, namely global warming. This response aims to stimulate reflection on some of the implicit assumptions underpinning the relationships between science, technology and the public. I argue that an underestimation of the political and ethical dimensions of science and technology limits the possibilities for education to set the agenda for citizens’ participation in science and technological matters. Drawing on Sheila Jasanoff’s model of co-production, this paper proposes a radical re-affirmation of the aims and purposes of science education to embrace a multiplicity of disciplines, narratives and ways of knowing in science, technology and society issues.
BAG INCLUDING CLOSING PROFILES ACTUATED BY SLIDER

The invention relates to a bag (1) that comprises two substantially parallel sheets (12, 13) defining the main walls thereof, complementary closing profiles (2, 3) respectively attached to said sheets (12, 13), and a slider (5) for actuating the profiles (2, 3) upon opening or closing. The bag is characterised in that at least one of said sheets (12, 13) includes, on the outer face thereof, in the vicinity of the gripping area of the slider (5) and parallel to the movement direction of the latter, a strip-shaped bead defining a build-up having a thickness and a width sufficient for locally modifying the deformability thereof.
Differential cystine and dibasic amino acid handling after loss of function of the amino acid transporter b0,+AT (Slc7a9) in mice

Cystinuria is an autosomal recessive disease caused by mutations in SLC3A1 ( rBAT) and SLC7A9 ( b 0,+ AT). Gene targeting of the catalytic subunit ( Slc7a9) in mice leads to excessive excretion of cystine, lysine, arginine, and ornithine. Here, we studied this non-type I cystinuria mouse model using gene expression analysis, Western blotting, clearance, and brush-border membrane vesicle (BBMV) uptake experiments to further characterize the renal and intestinal consequences of losing Slc7a9 function. The electrogenic and BBMV flux studies in the intestine suggested that arginine and ornithine are transported via other routes apart from system b 0,+ . No remarkable gene expression changes were observed in other amino acid transporters and the peptide transporters in the intestine and kidney. Furthermore, the glomerular filtration rate (GFR) was reduced by 30% in knockout animals compared with wild-type animals. The fractional excretion of arginine was increased as expected (∼100%), but fractional excretions of lysine (∼35%), ornithine (∼16%), and cystine (∼11%) were less affected. Loss of function of b 0,+ AT reduced transport of cystine and arginine in renal BBMVs and completely abolished the exchanger activity of dibasic amino acids with neutral amino acids. In conclusion, loss of Slc7a9 function decreases the GFR and increases the excretion of several amino acids to a lesser extent than expected with no clear regulation at the mRNA and protein level of alternative transporters and no increased renal epithelial uptake. These observations indicate that transporters located in distal segments of the kidney and/or metabolic pathways may partially compensate for Slc7a9 loss of function.
Interactive display of image details using a camera-coupled mobile projector

A mobile projector can be used to enhance a small region of a large projected image. We use a camera attached to the mobile projector to locate a frame-shaped marker embedded in the large image, providing sufficient geometric information to identify the position of the mobile projector in space. The image displayed by this projector can then be warped to fit correctly into the large image, within the frame. Pointing at distant areas of the screen is also possible. The region illuminated by the mobile projector image represents a miniature of the entire projected image. Our software detects shadows in this region in camera images, and locates the position of the user's fingertip, which is interpreted as a pointer. Depth information can also be acquired by measuring the penumbra of the shadow. A prototype system is presented and user reactions are reported.
TIME-DEPENDENT BEHAVIOUR OF A CLASS F FLY ASH-BASED GEOPOLYMER CONCRETE

The main purpose of this research is to study the time dependent behaviour of a geopolymer concrete. The geopolymer binder is composed of 85.2% of low calcium fly ash and only 14.8% of GGBFS (Ground Granulated Blast Furnace Slag). Both drying shrinkage and creep are studied. Tests were performed on small size specimens according to Australian Standard AS1012.13 for shrinkage and AS1012.16 for creep. Different curing regimes at elevated temperature were used. All experimental results were compared to Australian Standard AS3600 predictions. Curing regime plays an important role on both creep and drying shrinkage of class F fly ash based geopolymer concrete. A minimum of three days at 40 0 C or one day at 80 0 C is required to obtain final drying shrinkage strains similar or less than the one predicted by AS3600 for OPC concrete. Creep strains are reduced of about 70% compared to predicted OPC concrete values when the geopolymer concrete was cured for three days at 40 0 C. After 7 days at 80 0 C, creep strains were very low.
Mediterranean cultural network to promote creativity in the arts, crafts and design for communities’ regeneration in historical cities

Project in brief _x000D_
_x000D_
Arts, Crafts and Design (ACDs) are traditionally rooted in trading and harbour cities of the Mediterranean area. Historically in these cities the production and sale of such goods were particularly vibrant and, besides inhabitants, concerned visitors came to shop for what they could not find in their place of residence. This commercial network kept alive and dynamic the crafts in Mediterranean cities for a long period of time, but the industrial revolution and then the globalization brought an end to it. The economy of the cities began to decline, and they could no longer compete with larger ports and more advanced economies. In the belief that the economic improvement and the urban liveliness should insist on the creative industries revitalization and on the valorization of traditional heritage, MEDNETA project aims to support creativity in ACDs (i.e. ceramics, goldsmiths, cloth, tapestry, fashion and jewellery) as a means for the regeneration of the communities inhabiting historical districts. The project activities will thus take place in five different Mediterranean cities including Athens (Greece), Florence (Italy), Valencia (Spain), the medina of Tunis (Tunisia), Beirut (Lebanon) and Hebron (Palestine) which have all been selected for the challenges faced by the creative sector based on their geographical context and level of economic development. _x000D_

For this reason, this paper provides a reasonable analysis in accordance with current engagement of college students in extracurricular sports activity and the actual situation in the hope to make students know the benefits of engagement in extracurricular sports activity, improve students' interest and enthusiasm in extracurricular sports activity, and lay the solid foundation for a high-quality life in the future.
Computational Fact Checking from Knowledge Networks

Traditional fact checking by expert journalists cannot keep up with the enormous volume of information that is now generated online. Computational fact checking may significantly enhance our ability to evaluate the veracity of dubious information. Here we show that the complexities of human fact checking can be approximated quite well by finding the shortest path between concept nodes under properly defined semantic proximity metrics on knowledge graphs. Framed as a network problem this approach is feasible with efficient computational techniques. We evaluate this approach by examining tens of thousands of claims related to history, entertainment, geography, and biographical information using a public knowledge graph extracted from Wikipedia. Statements independently known to be true consistently receive higher support via our method than do false ones. These findings represent a significant step toward scalable computational fact-checking methods that may one day mitigate the spread of harmful misinformation.
Gröbner bases and cocyclic Hadamard matrices

Hadamard ideals were introduced in 2006 as a set of nonlinear polynomial equations whose zeros are uniquely related to Hadamard matrices with one or two circulant cores of a given order. Based on this idea, the cocyclic Hadamard test enables us to describe a polynomial ideal that characterizes the set of cocyclic Hadamard matrices over a fixed finite group G of order 4 t . Nevertheless, the complexity of the computation of the reduced Gröbner basis of this ideal is 2 O ( t 2 ) , which is excessive even for very small orders. In order to improve the efficiency of this polynomial method, we take advantage of some recent results on the inner structure of a cocyclic matrix to describe an alternative polynomial ideal that also characterizes the aforementioned set of cocyclic Hadamard matrices over G . The complexity of the computation decreases in this way to 2 O ( t ) . Particularly, we design two specific procedures for looking for Z t × Z 2 2 -cocyclic Hadamard matrices and D 4 t -cocyclic Hadamard matrices, so that larger cocyclic Hadamard matrices (up to t ≤ 39 ) are explicitly obtained.
Boosting cross border Organic Ecosystem through enhancing agro-food alliances

Agriculture puts a lot of pressure on the environment. Soil fertility, biodiversity and human life are all negatively impacted by intensive and extensive farming. There is no doubt that organic agriculture is a great solution to achieve food safety and security as well as environmental sustainability. However, organic agriculture is still relatively underdeveloped in Mediterranean countries with heterogeneous situations from country to country. Main shared challenges are inconsistent or lacking support policies from national/local governments, low innovation capacities, limited knowledge of sustainable farming practices, and a weak value chain where MSMEs operate in a disaggregated way. ORGANIC ECOSYSTEM project aims at reducing these obstacles and make the MSMEs operating in organic agriculture more competitive and better integrated. The project intends to establish a cross-border agro-food ecosystem which will set the ground for the development of the Mediterranean whole organic sector. This will be encouraged through new business alliances, creation of innovative value chains, and specialized support provided to MSMEs to increase the quality and the commercialization of products and their capacities to access to new markets.
GLYCOSIDASE INHIBITORS AND METHODS OF SYNTHESIZING SAME

A method for synthesizing Salacinol, its stereoisomers, and non-naturally occurring selenium and nitrogen analogues thereof having formula (I). The compounds are potentially useful as glycosidase inhibitors. The synthetic schemes comprise reacting a cyclic sulfate with a 5-membered ring sugar containing a heteroatom (X). The heteroatom preferably comprises sulfur, selenium, or nitrogen. The cyclic sulfate and ring sugar reagents may be readily prepared from carbohydrate precursors, such as D-glucose, L-glucose, D-xylose and L-xylose. The target compounds are prepared by opening of the cyclic sulfates by nucleophilic attack of the heteroatoms on the 5-membered ring sugars. The resulting heterocyclic compounds have a stable, inner salt structure comprising a heteroatom cation and a sulfate anion. The synthetic schemes yield various stereoisomers of the target compounds in moderate to good yields with limited side-reactions. In an alternative embodiment of the invention, the cyclic sulfate may be similarly reacted with a 6-membered ring sugar containing a heteroatom (X) to yield a compound having formula (XII).

ENZYME FUSION PROTEINS AND THEIR USE

Cellulase fusion proteins comprising an endoglucanase core region and a heterologous cellulose binding domain are described. The fusion proteins may be produced by recombinant techniques using appropriate polynucleotides, expressing vectors and host cells. The fusion proteins and enzyme preparations thereof are useful in treating cellulosic material, such as textile material, and they are particularly useful in biostoning denim or in biofinishing fabrics and garments. In addition the fusion proteins may be used in pulp and paper industry, oil extraction from plants, detergent compositions, or for improving the quality of animal feed.
A proteomic analysis of the wound response in Medicago leaves reveals the early activation of a ROS-sensitive signal pathway

Wounded Medicago truncatula leaves produce a burst of O(2)(-) (phase I) between 1 and 15 min, then of O(2)(-) and H(2)O(2) (phase II) between 1 and 3 h. Our previous results suggest reactive oxygen species (ROS) may provide signals to mobilise early (6 h), apoplastic, wound-responsive proteins (WRPs). 2DE and MALDI-TOF/TOF were used to analyse how the suppression of ROS production at different time points by diphenyleneiodonium (DPI), affects the expression of WRPs. Rapid (≤3 min) DPI inhibition of phase I O(2)(-) production suppressed the differential regulation of 7 out of 19 WRPs, which were consequently classified as ROS-dependent WRPs. DPI inhibition of only phase II ROS production failed to suppress the wound regulation of 18 out of 19 WRPs, but led to the altered expression of 1 ROS-dependent WRP and 2 non-WRPs (Group B). The data indicates Group B proteins are alternatively targeted via the modulation of phase II ROS production. This reinforces an important role for phase I O(2)(-) signalling in the early wound response, but indicates that this response is partly regulated by phase II of the oxidative burst. This data provides an informed basis for further proteomic studies aimed at identifying early activated O(2)(-) signalling components in wounded Medicago.

Strategic Consumer Behavior and Price Guarantees in Supply Chain Coordination

A supply chain consisting of one manufacture,one seller,and a group of consumers with strategic behavior is considered in the paper.The retailer proclaims to implement price guarantee policy before selling.The selling season is divided into two periods,which are the regular period and the salvage period.If the consumer purchases in the regular period,he can claim the price difference in the salvage period.Strategic consumers must decide whether buy now or later.Combined contract of wholesale price and markdown money is implemented between the manufacturer and the retailer.The manufacturer offers the retailer compensation for the leftover after the selling reason.Results indicate that strategic consumer behavior reduces the profit of supply chain and price guarantees policy alleviate the strategic consumers' waiting behavior rather than eliminating it.In addition,with the existence of strategic consumers,combined contract of wholesale price and markdown money can partly increase the profit of retailer and lessen the adverse effect caused by strategic consumers' waiting behavior.
Enable rpas insertion in controlled airspace

Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems (RPAS) have positively impacted civil and military applications. RPAS access to non-segregated airspace is essential to exploit their full capabilities, offering new services to the community and enabling market opportunities with huge economy benefits. To make insertion of RPAS into the ATM system a success, key challenges have to be addressed: to design a harmonised way to operate in nominal and emergency conditions; that RPAS do not adversely impact operations of existing airspace users; to ensure interoperability with current safety nets; to develop common standards and procedures.
ERICA will assess operational and technical capabilities to allow RPAS to safely operate (in nominal and emergency conditions) in controlled airspace (class A to C) and will develop and validate solutions without negative impacts on air traffic. A Detect and Avoid system for the “collision avoidance” and “remain well clear” functions will be developed. A framework for inserting RPAS into the non-segregated airspace will be developed in two streams: “Accommodation”, with platforms, missions and applications to meet the initial demand, exploiting existing capabilities, and “Integration”, to reach the final objective.
The benefits expected from the project are: developing recognised European RPAS operations in non-segregated airspace; enabling civil and military RPAS, fixed and rotary wing aircraft, to operate mixed with the manned traffic under a single European sky; increasing RPAS access to the airspace and equity with conventional traffic; contributions to regulatory and standardisation bodies; assuring interoperability with ATM system within and outside Europe; Safety, Human Performance and Cyber Security KPAs will also be investigated.
The ERICA partnership, which consists of expert ANSPs, Industry and R&D stakeholders, brings  the essential assets to deliver the RPAS integration with a common European view, the key for the success of the Project.

Technology advances for pilotline of enhanced semiconductors for 3nm

In line with industry needs, Moore’s law, scaling in ITRS 2013, and ECSEL JU MASP 2017, the main objective of the
TAPES3 project is to discover, develop and demonstrate lithographic, metrology, EUV mask technology, devices and process modules enabling 3nm node technology. This is planned with available EUV/NA 0.33 scanners, and with system design and integration of a new hyper NA EUV lithography tool to enable more single exposure patterning at 3nm to create complex integrated circuits. Process steps for 3D devices as alternative to the conventional FINFet will be explored for application in the 3nm node. The impact of the application of these so called 3D devices  on circuit topology and logic design will be explored. During the development, specific challenges in metrology for the characterization of 3D devices will be assessed and metrology tools will be newly developed. The result will be demonstrated in the imec pilot line.
The TAPES3 project relates to the ECSEL work program topic Equipment, Material and Manufacturing. It addresses and targets, as set out in MASP, the grand Challange of ""More Moore Equipment and Materials for sub 10nm technologies"" by exploring the requirements and solutions for the 3nm node. The project touches the core of the continuation of Moore’s law. Moreover, the cost aware development process will support the involved companies, and will place them in a preferred position over their worldwide competition. Through their worldwide affiliations, the impact of the TAPES3  project will be felt outside Europe in America and Asia Pacific semiconductor centers and is expected to benefit the European economy a lot by supporting its semiconductor equipment and metrology sectors with innovations, exports and employment.
BASF eyes China project

BASF CEO Martin Brudermuller has signed a nonbinding agreement with Chinese authorities to build a wholly owned chemical complex in Guangdong, China. The German chemical giant says spending on the new site could reach $10 billion by 2030, making it the largest investment in the company’s history and the biggest in China by a foreign company. BASF’s project is part of a wave of foreign investments in China totaling $23 billion pledged by various companies in the past week. The catalyst for the proposed investments is China’s removal of a policy requiring foreign manufacturers to form a partnership or joint venture with local Chinese firms. Petrochemical consulting firm PCI Wood Mackenzie says the policy change could shift investment dollars from other leading petrochemical-producing regions, including North America and the Middle East. Some 15 rules relating to foreign companies investing in China have been lifted. The European Chamber of Commerce in
