Setting up high-value sea cucumber chain in europe through a new fishing gear with no environmental impact and advanced processing equipment

AURORA SEAFOOD is the Icelandic SME currently leading the incipient Sea Cucumber (SC) industry in Iceland —the leading country in the SC business in Europe. The seafood fishery and processing industries are claiming for long-term sustainable and efficient innovations that assure the economical profitability of business. Firstly, the high percentage of the costs of raw material, due to low availability of traditional species at sea, creates the need for species diversification. Europe still has huge potential to exploit other species highly valued in international markets. Secondly, the intensive manual labour in the production of seafood goods poses a risk. TOPBALAT represents an integrative approach to establish for the first time in Europe an advanced SC value chain comprising SC fisheries and processing industry. SC have a high commercial value, and global demand is increasing led by China, the first economy of the world. The innovation of TOPBALAT lies in the resource exploited, the SC-specificity of the technology, and the way our technology components set up a value chain for the whole business. Our approach tackles fishing, automated processing and distribution, and allows for other companies to tap on this market with the introduction of European processed dry SC at competitive prices in the Asian market. TOPBALAT’s specific SC technology saves costs: 20% less total costs due to increased manoeuvrability, reduced gear loss, increased catching efficiency (70%), reduced by-catches (5%), only 5% of meat discards in the processing, and 90% less distribution costs. AURORA will commercialise the final product (dried whole fully processed SC) and the technology to harvest and produce it. TOPBALAT’s product target users are the middle-upper class in China, and our technology target users are seafood companies in Norway, Scotland and Ireland. By 2022, we expect sales of 325 tonnes of processed SC, accumulated gross revenues of €25.2 M, and 7-10 new jobs creation.
Determining indicator taxa across spatial and seasonal gradients in the Columbia River coastal margin

Bacterioplankton communities are deeply diverse and highly variable across space and time, but several recent studies demonstrate repeatable and predictable patterns in this diversity. We expanded on previous studies by determining patterns of variability in both individual taxa and bacterial communities across coastal environmental gradients. We surveyed bacterioplankton diversity across the Columbia River coastal margin, USA, using amplicon pyrosequencing of 16S rRNA genes from 596 water samples collected from 2007 to 2010. Our results showed seasonal shifts and annual reassembly of bacterioplankton communities in the freshwater-influenced Columbia River, estuary, and plume, and identified indicator taxa, including species from freshwater SAR11, Oceanospirillales, and Flavobacteria groups, that characterize the changing seasonal conditions in these environments. In the river and estuary, Actinobacteria and Betaproteobacteria indicator taxa correlated strongly with seasonal fluctuations in particulate organic carbon (ρ=-0.664) and residence time (ρ=0.512), respectively. In contrast, seasonal change in communities was not detected in the coastal ocean and varied more with the spatial variability of environmental factors including temperature and dissolved oxygen. Indicator taxa of coastal ocean environments included SAR406 and SUP05 taxa from the deep ocean, and Prochlorococcus and SAR11 taxa from the upper water column. We found that in the Columbia River coastal margin, freshwater-influenced environments were consistent and predictable, whereas coastal ocean community variability was difficult to interpret due to complex physical conditions. This study moves beyond beta-diversity patterns to focus on the occurrence of specific taxa and lends insight into the potential ecological roles these taxa have in coastal ocean environments.
Innovative Systems to enhance Antifraud Customs Controls

Italy, Albania and Montenegro are important trade partners nowadays and national customs administrations play an important role in securing the movement of goods across borders and the international supply chains by preventing illicit trade in large volume freight and by facilitating the flow of legitimate commercial cargo. Accordingly, the improvement of inspection processes and customs controls is fundamental to address this dual need. The ISACC (Innovative Systems to enhance Antifraud Customs Controls) project responds to this challenge by defining informative methodologies, models, processes and structures that could simplify and harmonise the introduction of innovative approach in the phases of inspection and antifraud control in the three countries. The main objective of the project is to define a so-called customs "footprint", consisting in a digital form that include all info and parameter of a good, aiming to verify in intermediate stages (customs control points) the invariance of the generated information through automatic data analysis systems and geo-tracking information elaborated by AI technologies. The implementation and testing of it will be guaranteed through the prototyping and setting-up of an interoperable custom supervision technological platform, in three specific pilot targets in the Area, in order to measure the effectiveness of the introduction of such systems in terms of process speed and confidence in the results of the inspection and related prompt risk warnings.
On this purpose, the project will be based on three pillars: building up of an international network of public institutions in the customs sector; design, development and pilot of the IT platform supporting customs controls activities; capacity building for customs servants, focusing on the use and functionalities of the ISACC platform, and for private stakeholders, focusing on eCustoms procedures.
Enriched environment and physical activity reduce microglia and influence the fate of NG2 cells in the amygdala of adult mice

Proliferative cells expressing proteoglycan neuron-glia 2 (NG2) are considered to represent parenchymal precursor cells in the adult brain and are thought to differentiate primarily into oligodendrocytes. We have studied cell genesis in the adult amygdala and found that, up to 1 year after the labeling of proliferating cells with bromodeoxyuridine, most proliferating NG2 cells remain NG2 cells, and only a few slowly differentiate into mature oligodendrocytes, as assessed by the expression of 2',3'-cyclic nucleotide 3'-phosphodiesterase. We have detected no signs of neurogenesis but have confirmed the expression of "neuronal" markers such as Doublecortin in NG2 cells. Nestin-expressing NG2 cells in the amygdala show electrophysiological properties known for oligodendrocyte precursor cells in the corpus callosum. Application of the glutamate agonist kainate elicits a "complex" response consisting of a rapid and long-lasting blockade of the resting K(+) conductance, a transient cationic current, and a transient increase of an outwardly directed K(+) conductance, suggesting the responsiveness of NG2 cells to excitation. Proliferation of NG2 cells increases in response to behavioral stimuli of activity, voluntary wheel running, and environmental enrichment. In addition to reducing the number of newborn microglia, behavioral activity results in a decrease in S100β-expressing newborn NG2 cells in the amygdala. Because S100β expression in NG2 cells ceases with oligodendrocyte maturation, this finding suggests that NG2 cells in the amygdala undergo activity-dependent functional alterations, without resulting in a measurable increase in new mature oligodendrocytes over the time period covered by the present study. The adult amygdala thus shows signs of mixed activity-dependent plasticity: reduced numbers of microglia and, presumably, an altered fate of NG2 cells.

Use of Medicines from the Group of Benzodiazepines in the Period of 2003-2013 Year in the Republic of Macedonia

AIM: The aim of this study was to analyze the use of benzodiazepines in the period of 2003-2013 year in the Republic of Macedonia (MKD).METHOD: The study was cross sectional and analyzes the available data on the use of benzodiazepines in the country. This study used several sources of data: Statistical Reports of the United Nations regarding the consumption of psychotropic substances; data from the Ministry of Health associated with the use of benzodiazepines (BZD), derived from reports of Ministry of Health stakeholders; Data extracted from the database of the Ministry of Health in the electronic database "My term" and Analysis of reports of Health Insurance Fund.RESULTS: The analysis for the period 2003-2013 showed that the most consumed drug in MKD from the group of BZD is Diazepam, with 54.8 and predominantly is use of diazepam of 5 mg with 59 %. According to the Health Insurance Fund, Diazepam is second most prescribed medicaments of all medicaments with marketing authorization in MKD.CONCLUSIONS: The analysis shows that the use of BZD in MKD is particularly high. Limited number of studies was performed for this kind of drugs relating to their effects; differences in use between genders; adult population. There is need for additional focused research that will contribute to developing a full picture of the situation.
Developing risk set-back lines for coastal protection using shoreline change and climate variability factors

In a changing climate, coastal zones are increasingly susceptible to coastal hazards. In South Africa this is exacerbated by growing pressure for coastal frontage development. Hence the recognised, urgent need to better control and manage development in the coastal zone. A formal guideline in this regard, is the development of coastal set-back lines to ensure new development is protected from coastal events and slower, climate driven changes. Authorities concerned over potential hazards in the coastal zone are now thinking of how to determine and implement risk set-back lines. This paper presents the stepwise process arrived at, to determine such a risk set-back line for KwaZulu-Natal. The process is simple, cost-effective and considers three key factors; historical shoreline change, sea-level rise and coastal vulnerability. For this study, three set-back line lifespans where considered; 25, 50 and 100 years. This time range allows for both long-term management and short-term understanding of coastal risks and vulnerability. Set-back lines for the three time scenarios range from 0 to 99m, 198m and 394m respectively. The methodology is robust and easily repeatable, and has been designed in such a manner that alternative or additional data can be easily included and the methodology can be refined over time. The delineation and enforcement of risk set-back lines is a quick solution to address the pressing problems of coastal KZN, and should also ensure effective short- to medium-term management of the coast.
A therapeutic vaccine candidate for lung cancer based on an exclusive cell line of plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pdc*line)

Since 2014, the revolution of immuno-oncology gives unprecedented hope for cure to cancer patients thanks to immunotherapies such as anti-PD(L)-1. However around 80% patients still don’t respond to anti-PD(L)-1. Several barriers are still to be overcome to sustain the path of a novel paradigm responding both unmet therapeutic needs and health economy sustainability; cancer being estimated as a leading cause of deaths in Europe (350’000 deaths in 2012– Globocan) corresponding to an economical burden of €126BN in total costs

PDC*line Pharma develops a ground-breaking therapeutic vaccine platform using an exclusive cell line of Plasmacytoid Dendritic Cells (PDC*line); potentially doubling the response rate to anti-PD(L)-1 without additional toxicity, eliminating complex and costly process usually required by cell therapies.

Our innovation project is aiming to establish the clinical proof of concept that PDC*lung, our leading candidate for lung cancer can induce strong anti-tumour immunity in patients. Lung cancer is of high priority for Europe since 1.9 million people are affected worldwide of which 340 000 in Europe (Globocan, 2012). It also represents an attractive market segment opportunity for PDC*line Pharma with an expected market growth of 4% per year: $6.1BN in 2013 to $8.6BN in 2023 worldwide (IMS, 2015).
Development of a design-through-analysis methodology based on a coupled isogemetrcic-maximum entropy approach

Although from an historical point of view Computer Aided Design (CAD) and Numerical Analysis have always been two detached engineering disciplines, a lot of effort has been made over the last few years to seek a tighter integration between them. The recent development of Isogeometric Analysis (IGA) was one of the main achievement in this direction. The key idea of IGA is to use for the Analysis the same basis functions employed for the CAD representation, which in most of the cases are non-uniform rational B-splines (NURBS). However, the tensor product nature of NURBS poses some limitations in the trivariate volume parametrization of complex shapes and in local refinement, operations that are not needed for CAD purposes but are particularly important for the Analysis. This project aims at developing a coupled approach where IGA is blended with the Maximum Entropy meshless approximants, in order to overcome to such limitations, which prevents IGA to fully develop outside of the academic world into industry, and thus to create a design-through-analysis methodology with many potential industrial applications. Such methodology will be first developed for three-dimensional applications in the framework of NURBS boundary representations and then alternative frameworks, based on T-splines and subdivision surfaces, will be also explored. The application of the method to practical problems of industrial relevance will be then considered in detail. The programme will boost the career prospects, increase employability and widen the set of skills of the experienced researcher.

Concentration of Cesium and Strontium Elements Involved in a LiCl Waste Salt by a Melt Crystallization Process

As an alternative to conventional Group I and II separation methods (such as adding a chemical agent and ion exchange), melt crystallization processes, zone freezing, and layer melt crystallization were tested for the separation (or concentration) of cesium and strontium fission products in a LiCl waste salt generated from an electrolytic reduction process of a spent oxide fuel. In these melt crystallization processes, impurities (CsCl and SrCl 2 ) are concentrated in a small fraction of the LiCl salt by the solubility difference between the melt phase and the crystal phase. As experimental variables, initial molten salt temperature, crucible rising velocity in the zone freezing case, and cooling air flow rate in the layer crystallization case were used. In the zone freezing process, although the operating time is long (1.7 mm/h of crucible rising velocity) when assuming a LiCl salt reuse rate of 90 wt%, >90% separation efficiency for both CsCl and SrCl 2 was shown. In the layer crystallization process, the crystal growth rate strongly affects the crystal structure and therefore the separation efficiency. At a 25 to 30 l/min cooling air flow rate, 700 to 710°C initial molten salt temperature, and <5 g/min crystal growth rate, the separation efficiency of both CsCl and SrCl 2 exceeded 90% by the layer crystallization process, assuming a LiCl salt reuse rate of 90 wt%.

Structure and Vibrational Dynamics of NASICON-Type LiTi<sub>2</sub>(PO<sub>4</sub>)<sub>3</sub>

Small single crystals of NASICON-type LiTi2(PO4)3 of high quality were grown by means of long-term annealing of polycrystalline specimens synthesized using conventional solid state reaction. A thorough study of their structural properties and vibrational dynamics was carried out by means of an integrated experimental and theoretical approach. A single-crystal X-ray diffraction analysis at room temperature allowed us to determine the precise crystal structure and the anisotropic displacement parameters of all atoms. In addition, all the 25 independent components of the polarizability tensor, expected on the basis of the group theory for the LiTi2(PO4)3 crystal, were observed using polarized Raman spectroscopy in backscattering geometry on a microcrystal, properly oriented by a micromanipulator. Thus, all the expected Raman modes have been unambiguously identified by determining both their wavenumber and symmetry throughout an accurate analysis of the spectral profiles observed in the different polarization...
Effects of rotation amplitude on arm movement when rotating a spherical object

Arm movements when rotating a spherical object were experimentally investigated. Twelve volunteers participated in the experiment and were asked to rotate a sphere for a large range of amplitude. Results showed that subjects anticipated their posture at the beginning of object manipulation even for low rotation amplitudes. The way of anticipation strongly depended on rotation direction. The end-state comfort hypothesis, effects of joint limits and principle of minimum work were examined for explaining motion control. The anticipation would ensure a better end-state comfort while avoiding joint limits in case of higher amplitude of object rotation. Meanwhile, it should not deteriorate the comfort at the beginning of manipulation too much. High postural variability for low rotation amplitude tasks suggested that there might exist a range of postures of similar level of comfort. These findings will be useful in developing human behaviour-based motion simulations for digital human.Arm movement was investigated when rotating a spherical object with a large range of amplitude. The end-state comfort hypothesis, effects of joint limits and principle of minimum work were examined for explaining motion control. Results will be helpful for a better design of rotary controls and for developing motion simulation algorithms.
