Commercial appliance for an on-demand & custom reduction of alcohol in wine

Europe remains the heaviest drinking region in the world, with alcohol responsible for approximately 195,000 deaths each
year in the EU as a result of cancer, liver, cirrhosis, road traffic and other accidents.
Wine producers have been experimenting with low and non-alcoholic wine, but certain challenges are holding such products
back from wide uptake by consumers:
- Quality: Current approaches of wine dealcoholisation such as Reverse Osmosis and Vacuum Distillation negatively affect
the key attributes of the wine and its quality.
- Cost and Energy: Such approaches are expensive and require a large setup, making it only applicable for producers in an
industrial setting, and in huge quantities.
- Actors further down the value chain, such as restaurants and bars, have direct access to consumers yet are limited to what
producers and distributors provide.
Our start-up, Alacarte Ventures, has created an appliance that reduces the alcohol content of wine while keeping its taste,
smell and original properties intact. It is the first product of its kind, and is small, fast and easy enough to use for restaurants,
bars and hotels to provide an on-demand service for their guests.
Our low and non-alcoholic wine will help prevent health problems caused or worsened by alcohol, as well as lower the
calories to fit a consumer’s preferred diet. Producers are excited about our product, as well, as it allows consumers to enjoy
reduced alcohol wine with the quality that the winemaker intended and done so at the point of sale using what they already
distribute.
We have already achieved validation from globally recognised sommeliers with a combined range of experience at several
restaurants of Michelin fame, such as El Bulli and El Celler de Can Roca.
Just 2% market share of our Total Addressable Market can lead to over 25m € in revenue. Counting investment, we estimate
cumulative ROI of over 27m € by 2025, resulting in an IRR of 41%.

2-D Spectrum Imaging Algorithm for Hybrid Spaceborne-Airborne Bistatic SAR Based on Space and Time Domain Expansion

In this paper, a new 2-D spectrum focusing algorithm for hybrid spaceborne-airborne bistatic SAR based on space and time domain expansion is proposed. In order to obtain 2-D spectrum, the most of frequency domain algorithm is based on expanding the range history in time domain, but this method can’t represent the spatial characters of scatterer directly; on the other hand, the expansion of range history in space domain doesn’t good to get 2-D spectrum by the principle of stationary phase (PSP). Comparing with traditional algorithm, the algorithm proposed in this paper integrates methods of space and time domain expansion. This mixed-method has advantages that will both represent the spatial character of scatterer directly and get 2-D spectrum by PSP conveniently. It is very beneficial to theoretical analysis and spatial character study of bistatic SAR which has spatial variant characteristic. The validity of algorithm is confirmed through the simulated results.
Corporate (ir)responsibility and the politics of collective memory.

This project aims to provide understanding on why and how we as societies often forget instances of corporate irresponsibility over time, and thus fail to hold firms accountable over the long term, and expose ourselves to recurring trauma. Literature on political CSR has emphasized the active role firms take in influencing their surroundings, while recent research has highlighted the relatively low salience over time of many events of corporate (ir)responsibility. The concept of collective memory offers a lens for interrogating corporate pasts and into why and how we collectively remember and forget meaningful events of corporate irresponsibility, and how corporations may influence this process. This has implications for the efficacy of stakeholder pressure - or voluntary corporate social responsibility - as a mechanism for controlling the negative externalities caused by firm activity, which is particularly significant because of how CSR has become a policy tool for the EU and nation states.
This project is a two-tier empirical study into the remembering and forgetting of instances of corporate irresponsibility. 
- The first part is an in-depth case study combining automated content analysis and discourse analysis of newspaper data in order to identify communications strategies and related discursive practices that can be utilized to influence the content and form of mnemonic traces of firm events.
- The second part is a qualitative comparative analysis of a range of cases of corporate irresponsibility in order to identify the conditions and mechanisms through which instances of  irresponsible firm activity are institutionalized, reconfigured, and forgotten in collective memory. 
The excellent research infrastructure of the beneficiary and the secondment organization and the learning of cutting-edge methodologies would provide me exceptional opportunities to kick off my career as a full-fledged academic researcher, and would be of benefit to the citizens of EU.
Target Temperature Within 3 Hours

Therapeutic hypothermia has been shown to improve neurological outcomes for patients who survive cardiac arrest. Timely cooling can be achieved by rapid initiation of a comprehensive targeted temperature protocol, which includes shivering assessment and management. The purpose of the study was to evaluate an updated therapeutic hypothermia protocol for patients who survive cardiac arrest. The first 6 patients who met inclusion criteria were placed on the updated protocol. These cases were compared with historical cases. Upon discharge or death, cases were analyzed for time to reach the target temperature, the use of paralytic agents, and discharge disposition. Patients placed on the updated protocol cooled 2 hours faster than did the patients from the historical cases (median = 179 vs 285 minutes). The use of paralytic agents appeared to safely accelerate the time to goal temperature. Four of the 6 patients were discharged home or to rehabilitation compared with only 1 patient from the historical cases. Implementing this evidence-based protocol for therapeutic hypothermia led to faster cooling.
Collective Classification for Spam Filtering

Spam has become a major issue in computer security because it is a channel for threats such as computer viruses, worms and phishing. Many solutions feature machine-learning algorithms trained using statistical representations of the terms that usually appear in the e-mails. Still, these methods require a training step with labelled data. Dealing with the situation where the availability of labelled training instances is limited slows down the progress of filtering systems and offers advantages to spammers. Currently, many approaches direct their efforts into Semi-Supervised Learning (SSL). SSL is a halfway method between supervised and unsupervised learning, which, in addition to unlabelled data, receives some supervision information such as the association of the targets with some of the examples. Collective Classification for Text Classification poses as an interesting method for optimising the classification of partially-labelled data. In this way, we propose here, for the first time, Collective Classification algorithms for spam filtering to overcome the amount of unclassified e-mails that are sent every day.
Ion Exchange Fractionation of Rabbits Seminal Fluid: Recognizing a DNA Retardation Activity from the Main DNase Activity

The role of seminal proteins charge on the nature of seminal fluid inhibitory effect that exerted against exogenous DNA. Has been identified and an approach closely with more details to the nature of inhibitory activities available in rabbit seminal fluid proteins that prevent the entry of exogenous DNA into the head of sperm. After collection of rabbit’s ejaculate and removing sperm cells, seminal fluid was incubated with fixed concentration of exogenous DNA. The seminal fluid – exogenous DNA mixture was analyzed by electrophoresis. Ion exchange chromatography was used to separate seminal proteins on the basis of their charge. Positively charged proteins were eluted, lyophilized, and their profile was characterized by SDS-PAGE and native-PAGE. After incubation of this eluted group with the same source of DNA, the same electrophoretic conditions were applied on this group. According to our knowledge, this is the first paper in which ion exchange chromatography was used to separate two DNA counterfeiting activities of the seminal fluid using non-radioactive method in rabbits and even in other mammals. Thus, more than one inhibitory activity were identified and separated. DNA retardation activity (or DNA binding activity) which repressed DNA electrophoretic migration was the only activity that found to be available on the positively charged fractions while the DNase activity was found exclusively on the negatively charged group. Key words : Seminal fluid , transgenesis techniques , DNA electrophoretic migration , DNase
The International Pulsar Timing Array second data release: Search for an isotropic gravitational wave background

We searched for an isotropic stochastic gravitational wave background in the second data release of the International Pulsar Timing Array, a global collaboration synthesizing decadal-length pulsar-timing campaigns in North America, Europe, and Australia. In our reference search for a power law strain spectrum of the form $h_c = A(f/1\,\mathrm{yr}^{-1})^{\alpha}$, we found strong evidence for a spectrally-similar low-frequency stochastic process of amplitude $A = 3.8^{+6.3}_{-2.5}\times10^{-15}$ and spectral index $\alpha = -0.5 \pm 0.5$, where the uncertainties represent 95\% credible regions, using information from the auto- and cross-correlation terms between the pulsars in the array. For a spectral index of $\alpha = -2/3$, as expected from a population of inspiralling supermassive black hole binaries, the recovered amplitude is $A = 2.8^{+1.2}_{-0.8}\times10^{-15}$. Nonetheless, no significant evidence of the Hellings-Downs correlations that would indicate a gravitational-wave origin was found. We also analyzed the constituent data from the individual pulsar timing arrays in a consistent way, and clearly demonstrate that the combined international data set is more sensitive. Furthermore, we demonstrate that this combined data set produces comparable constraints to recent single-array data sets which have more data than the constituent parts of the combination. Future international data releases will deliver increased sensitivity to gravitational wave radiation, and significantly increase the detection probability.
Comparative morphometric and glycohistochemical studies on the epididymal duct in the donkey (Equus asinus) and dromedary camel (Camelus dromedarius)

The present study was undertaken to compare morphometric and glycohistochemical differences in the epididymal duct of the donkey and the dromedary camel. Paraffin-embedded sections from the different regions of the duct (caput, corpus and cauda) of both species were stained conventionally for general histology and histomorphometry and also with fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) conjugated lectins for glycohistochemical mapping. Morphometric data (means ± SE) showed that the luminal diameter was widest (1029.76 ± 15.04 μm) in the donkey cauda and narrowest (179.80 ± 3.27 μm) in the camel corpus. The thickness of the peritubular muscle coat had the highest (74.32 ± 1.85 μm) and the lowest (24.32 ± 0.74 μm) values in the donkey cauda and corpus respectively. The greatest (94.44 ± 2.08 μm) and the least (21.48 ± 0.66 μm) values of epithelial height were reported respectively in the camel caput and in the donkey cauda. The length of stereocilia of principal cells in the camel was greatest (21.88 ± 0.57 μm) and lowest (6.68 ± 0.28 μm) in the caput and cauda. Binding sites for only six out of eight lectins could be found. The distribution pattern of binding sites of different lectins showed significant variations in both a species-specific and also region-specific manner. Distinct labeling was found in the Golgi zone, apical cytoplasm and on stereocilia of principal cells in the camel (WGA and DBA) and donkey (DBA) caput region, while other lectins exhibited variable reactivity in the other regions in both species. The basal cells showed variable binding to most of the lectins, however, they displayed distinct binding to WGA and PSA throughout the duct in camel and donkey respectively. In conclusion, both morphometric and glycohistochemical findings displayed regional species-specific and potentially functional relevant characteristics.
Emergo

When maintaining a feature in preprocessor-based Software Product Lines (SPLs), developers are susceptible to introduce problems into other features. This is possible because features eventually share elements (like variables and methods) with the maintained one. This scenario might be even worse when hiding features by using techniques like Virtual Separation of Concerns (VSoC), since developers cannot see the feature dependencies and, consequently, they become unaware of them. Emergent Interfaces was proposed to minimize this problem by capturing feature dependencies and then providing information about other features that can be impacted during a maintenance task. In this paper, we present Emergo, a tool capable of computing emergent interfaces between the feature we are maintaining and the others. Emergo relies on feature-sensitive dataflow analyses in the sense it takes features and the SPL feature model into consideration when computing the interfaces.
Integrated Scheduling and Control of Continuous-Time Blending Processes

Abstract Scheduling and control of multiproduct blending processes is important in many fields of process systems engineering. It is characterized by nonlinear process dynamics, numerous product specifications and discrete state variables. Due to the high complexity of the resulting mixed-integer dynamic model, integrating all these properties simultaneously in continuous time has not been addressed for blending processes in literature so far. In this contribution, a novel modeling framework for integrated scheduling and control of continuous-time multiproduct blending problems is presented. The framework incorporates the flexible handling of production and transition stages. Moreover, product demand is treated as continuous-time specification of the production process with possible discrete demand due dates. The resulting non-convex mixed-integer dynamic optimization problem is solved by means of a single-shooting method embedded in a branch & bound framework. The novel methodology is illustrated by means of a blending case study with a variety of feed streams with different property compositions and numerous specifications for each of the three manufactured products.
Lipid Phase Behavior and Protein-Lipid Interactions within Nanolipoprotein Particles upon Sol-Gel Derived Encapsulation

Nanolipoprotein Particles (NLPs) and liposomes were entrapped within transparent, mesoporous silica derived from Tetramethylorthosilicate (TMOS). NLPs are discoidal patches of lipid bilayer that are belted by amphiphilic scaffold proteins. NLPs possess an average thickness of 5 nm, with a diameter that ranges from 10-15 nm. The phase behavior of lipids within liposomes and NLPs was examined, as well as the scaffold protein conformational changes within NLPs. Liposomes have previously been examined inside of silica gels and been shown to be exhibit instability. This is attributed by their size (∼150 nm) and altered structure and lipid dynamics upon entrapment within the nanometer scale pores (5-50 nm) of the silica gel. Using various spectroscopic techniques, we have demonstrated that NLPs are much more compatible with the nanometer scale size of the porous environment than liposomes. In addition, we utilized fluorescence quenching of tryptophan to find that the scaffold proteins in NLPs were minimally altered upon entrapment, thus suggesting that the NLPs remained stable. NLPs are capable of solubilizing a wide variety of Integral Membrane Proteins (IMPs). Successful NLP immobilization allows for the development of of biohybrid nanomaterials that exploit the functionality of IMPs. Areas of application of this work include high-throughput drug screening, chromatography, and biosensors.
Restructuring Cultural Landscapes

Industrial processes, such as mining, have altered and disturbed landscapes within a short time. Natural and cultural heritages as well as regional identities have often been neglected by changing economic structures. REKULA, the Restructuring of Cultural Landscapes, aims at establishing integrated and co-ordinated measures for a renewed appreciation of altered cultural landscapes. A committee of experts was established in order to develop landscaping criteria and assume the evaluation tasks. The expert commission acts as a group of consultants for the EU via the REKULA project and transmits the dialogue to the European level as an international discourse on the treatment of altered landscapes. Pilot projects are intended to help establish the necessary set of tools for application throughout Europe. They are intended as a set of rules for the production, i.e. preservation, of the balance of natural resources as well as handy tools for managing the entire process.
Modeling and fabrication of single cantilever piezoelectric microgenerator with optimized Zno active layer

Abstract This paper presents design and fabrication process details of a piezoelectric generator with a thin-film zinc oxide (ZnO) layer. Structure of the piezoelectrical cantilever beam harvester consists of ZnO layer in between two insulating Al 2 O 3 layers and outer aluminium contacts deposited on a silicon substrate. This multilayer system was prepared by the combination of radio-frequency and direct-current magnetron sputtering. Geometrical arrangement of the substrate holder and deposition target was optimized in order to reduce the disruptive effect of the high energy ions bombardment on the ZnO film microstructure. We present ZnO microstructure characterization by means of X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy related to the estimation of internal micro-strains, crystallite sizes and deposition rates. Maximum generated open-circuit voltage achieved close to the cantilever resonant frequency of 595 Hz was 0.975 V.
Effect of perioperative treatment with a hypoxia-inducible factor-1-alpha inhibitor in an orthotopic surgical mouse model of thyroid cancer.

Despite an excellent prognosis, certain patients with thyroid cancer suffer from locally invasive disease that cannot be controlled by conventional therapy. Our previous study suggested that hypoxia inducible factor-1-alpha (HIF1α) might be an important marker for the identification of and a treatment target of intractable thyroid cancer. Therefore, in the present study, we established an orthotopic mouse surgical model of thyroid cancer that mimics the clinical setting, and evaluated the effect of perioperative treatment with a HIF1α inhibitor.Seven thyroid cancer cell lines (SNU-790, BCPAP, KTC1, TPC1, TPC1-M, KTC2, and FRO) and four HIF1α inhibitors (echinomycin, LAQ824, temsirolimus, and vorinostat) were used in the present study. Expression of HIF1α and related proteins was evaluated in all cell lines; immunoblotting and cell proliferation assays were conducted; and echinomycin was validated in an orthotopic surgical mouse model.Nuclear expression of HIF1α increased in tumorigenic cell lines, while HIF1α inhibitors inhibited proliferation and colony formation. In the orthotopic surgical model, the group treated with surgery and the echinomycin-treatment group showed a highly significant survival gain (p=0.001) compared to the control group.The highly significant survival gain resulting from their use in perioperative adjuvant treatment in vivo and their anticancer effect in vitro suggest that HIF1α inhibitors might be candidates for perioperative adjuvant chemotherapy for thyroid cancer. Combining adjuvant HIF1α inhibitor chemotherapy with surgery might be an effective therapeutic strategy for thyroid cancer that is refractory to conventional treatments.
