MACHINE FOR COMPETITION AND ENTERTAINMENT BY IMPULSE ACTION ON AN OBJECT WITH THREE-DIMENSIONAL MOVEMENT FREEDOM

Machine for competition and entertainment by impulse action on an object with freedom of three-dimensional movement, wherein two teams of participants can play, one team on each side, throwing to each other an object which is freely and three-dimensionally (1.3) moved on a play track (1.1) until said object is not repulsed by one of the teams, and thereby one of the participants scoring points or goals. The repulsion of the object is initiated by a repulsion sector (1.9) from which, by actuation of a group of controls (1.7 and 1.8), the object is displaced. The movable object (1.3) is free to move within an area where it is controlled by a mechanical system (1.6) where the movements are produced as a result of the actuation of drive members controlled by a control unit according to the position of the movable object, the situation of the repulsion sector and operations carried out by the controls.

Geographical Disparity in Access to Organ Transplant in the United States and Other Western Countries: A Prolegomenon to A Solution

Background: Disparities in access to and in outcome of organ transplantation are widely discussed topics among transplant researchers in many Western countries. Among various types of disparities examined in existing studies, “geographic disparity,” i.e., disparity due to a recipient's location, is most common. Despite a number of articles that acknowledge the existence of geographic disparities, the literature has been relatively silent about the historical and international efforts to address these issues. Literature discussing remedies or proposing analytical tools to identify remedies is even rarer. This paper investigates potential causes of geographic disparity and advocates possible methodological approaches to analyze and address the disparity. Methods: The paper conducts an in-depth review of geographic disparity and the policy efforts to reduce the disparity in the United States, Canada, France, Spain, the United Kingdom, and Australia. The current organ allocation systems in these countries are also reviewed and compared. Possible causes of the disparity and future analytical approaches are discussed based on the findings of these reviews. Findings: Geographic disparity in organ transplant service is ubiquitous in all countries studied. Many Western countries have a similar organ allocation system with some difference in the degree of interregional and national-level sharing enforced by the government. The organ allocation system in these countries tends to have some inherent mechanism to favor a “home region” where organs are harvested, implying that the locations of candidates matter in accessing a transplant. Geographic allocation boundaries prevalent in the United States were found to be another potential source of geographic disparity. Conclusions: Developing an equitable organ allocation system is a multifaceted problem. The allocation procedure needs to reflect priorities of urgent cases and some geographic areas, patient's severity level, waiting time, cold ischemia time (CIT) and associated travel distance, condition of and compatibility between organ and recipient, etc. Failing to reflect these factors adequately results in disparity of some sort. The implications of geographic boundaries in organ allocation need to be studied further. Utilization of relatively new methodological approaches, such as Geographic Information Systems (GIS) and system dynamic modeling, would help develop a system that allocates organs more equitably.
Online Characterization of Syngas Particulates Using Aerosol Mass Spectrometry in Entrained-Flow Biomass Gasification

Entrained flow gasification is a promising technique where biomass is converted to a synthesis gas (syngas) under fuel-rich conditions. In contrast to combustion, where the fuel is converted to heat, CO2, and H2O, the syngas from gasification is rich in energetic gases such as CO and H2. These compounds (CO and H2) represent the building blocks for further catalytic synthesis to chemicals or biofuels. Impurities in the syngas, such as particulates, need to be reduced to different levels depending on the syngas application. The objective of this work was to evaluate the amount of particulates; the particle size distribution and the particle composition from entrained flow gasification of pine stem wood at different operating conditions of the gasifier. For this purpose, online time resolved measurements were performed with a soot particle aerosol mass spectrometer (SP-AMS) and a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS). The main advantage of SP-AMS compared to other techniques is that the particle compositi...
Hazard Monitoring for Risk Assessment and Risk Communication

The infrastructure in mountainous areas or regions with seismic activity is greatly threatened by hazards such as landslides, avalanches or earthquakes. MONITOR offers a basis for a standardised risk management of land-use activities threatened by natural hazards. The project's target groups and their regions vary in their risk exposure and their hazard potentials. MONITOR takes into account a broad variety of local and regional natural hazards and does not only focus on one hazard category. Early warning and risk evaluation monitoring is indispensable in risk management. Prevention of damage has to be correlated with land-use planning. In the project the methodological basis of preventive measures will be provided by risk analyses: For this MONITOR uses an integrative approach by considering the viewpoints of all relevant groups which can be seen as an important baseline for risk communication. The most important stakeholders identified are politicians, administrative bodies, experts, the directly affected population and the media. MONITOR will use synergies of existing knowledge and communication potentials and integrate activities at different organisational levels for interdisciplinary risk management. It will improve the methodology of risk analysis and the regulations for risk communication and thus support the entire process of risk evaluation and especially risk communication through a participatory approach. This should lead to transnationally-accepted standards of risk assessment and communication.
SOCIALAB

"This project is part of the plan GRAIES LAB": The project covers the territories of Savoy and the metropolitan city of Turin, characterized by the presence of small communes which have in common difficulties of access to services from certain categories of users: dependent elderly people, people in economic hardship and young people. Based on the existing services and the needs of the inhabitants, the main objective of the project is therefore to improve the quality, sustainability and proximity of services to the population of the territory. It especially foresees the introduction of the social Manager, the creation of shared places of access to information about services, the identification of methodologies for the elaboration of service plans and the implementation of solidarity mobility devices directed at the target audiences.

According to defined challenges of ALCOTRA’s program (intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth), the strategic objective of the PITER is to make attractive the territory of rural and mountainous areas. Attractive means “endowed with an attraction power”, which “attracts toward one” and which it’s pursue in time. Three factors determine this “attraction power”: capacity to attract, which means an approach system, instruments and actions to define the area, rules and direction for the action; experimentation of services and strategies defined according to real needs of the territory; the capacity to transfer competences and passion. The principal result expected, sustainable on long term period, is the creation of Active Rural, Innovative and Solidarity Generations: make actors of the territory (actual and future) consciousness of the added value of innovation and the networking of opportunities and competencies. The PITER is focused on 5 strategic elements: governance, jobs territory, mobility and services of proximity. Direct beneficiaries of the PITER will be local administrators of the concerned sector and those who are living/working/receiving from the territory. The working method, which represents an added value and a new/original element, is based on an open co-creation approach and of CLLD ans on LivingLabs wich will be activated for each project.

Solution processed oleds for lighting

Highly efficient organic electroluminescent devices (OLEDs) are a technology that promises to reduce significantly the electricity consumption. The estimated market for OLED lighting products is large ($8 billion) and European lighting manufacturers are ideally positioned to capture a large part of it. 
Glass OLED products prepared by vacuum evaporation techniques have been demonstrated with good performances, yet the main bottle neck for larger market introduction is the high cost. At high production volumes the cost of OLED production is directly related to the efficiency of materials usage which is estimated to be 70 % for vacuum deposition and 90 % via solution processing.
Hence, roll-to-roll solution processed OLEDs, will lead to a significant price reduction due to more efficient organic material usage, lower capital investments and higher throughput. Additionally, these OLEDs will be produced directly on flexible substrates allowing for new light weight and space saving designs.

SOLEDLIGHT will develop hybrid and fully S2S and R2R solution processed multilayer OLEDs with power efficiencies > 100 lm/W and lifetimes > 15000 hours at 3,000 cd/m2. 

This will be addressed by:

• New emitter and charge transport materials
• Methods to control multilayer stack formation.
• Interface and emitting layer morphology control.
• Implementing large-area roll-to-roll solution processing.
• Demonstration of flexible OLEDs integrated into a luminaire.

SOLEDLIGHT will scale up both the chemical synthesis of these material systems and the R2R coating technology to a pilot production line.

SOLEDLIGHT has assembled a consortium comprising a Osram (leading OLED manufacturer and integrator), Solvay (leading OLED materials manufacturer), TNO/Holst Centre (an excellence centre for organic devices with a state-of-the-art R2R line and leading universities in the field (Univ. Valencia, EPFL and Imperial College). The participation of Osram ensures a rapid transfer to future products.
First fully autonomous fire detection and extinction system for industrial settings

Fire is the most frequent hazard for industrial facilities processing or storing highly flammable material such recycling, waste-to-energy (W2E) and biomass plants. The waste management sector currently ranks as the 3rd most accident-prone industry, with fire being involved in nearly 80% of all accident occurrences. Fire represents one the biggest threats due to its devastating consequences: up to 70% of the companies suffering from a big fire report insolvency in the next year. Current fire protection systems do not accomplish the specific requirements of this type of industries yet. They have either a too long detection time (as those based on smoke detection) or a very high rate of false alarms (thermal detection). There are no automatic fire detection systems in the market as all of them require the permanent presence of a person that must determine whether the triggered alarm corresponds actually to a real fire. At GROMA247 we have brought together our expertise in fire prevention and software development to create FIREOUT, the first fire detection and extinction system in the market working fully autonomously and with a detection time below 1 minute. Our system captures thermal images with an IR camera that are processed by our outstanding SW that can unambiguously distinguish any hotspot from a real fire, reducing the number of false alarms to zero. In addition, we have incorporated an automatic fire extinction system linked to a 3D image able to direct the suppression agent only to the affected area. FIREOUT aims at reducing the unacceptable number of fire events happening in industrial facilities every year in Europe. We will positively impact this sector in terms of personnel safety and increase company’s benefits by reducing the impact of fire events in their businesses. Thanks to FIREOUT, at GROMA247 we expect to obtain revenues amounting €30 million and incorporate up to 25 new employees (headcount: 30) by the end of 2023.
Galileo-Based trusted applications for health and sustainability

GNSS user technology is now widely available in mass market devices including personal devices, connected vehicles, Internet of Things (IoT) objects, etc. The widespread availability of GNSS receivers, joint with ubiquitous communication capabilities of devices and the ability of cloud-based ICT platforms to federate with each other through open standards and APIs, is enabling a new generation of Location Based Services (LBS) able to support highly-scalable pervasive applications where large number of geographically-distributed users are engaged e.g. in immersive games and commercial services. While GNSS proves to be able to support such applications successfully, a major drawback prevents such approach to be used in more serious (and potentially highly rewarding) mass market applications i.e. the lack of authentication features, resulting in high difficulties in preventing users from spoofing position information to gain advantages or damage other users.
GOEASY will leverage unique Galileo features such as increased trust and improved availability, joint with interoperability with existing Internet of Things (IoT) infrastructures to enable more secure and privacy-savvy mass-market applications of LBS.
GOESY will be evaluated by means of two concrete use cases, namely the ApesMobility and the AsthmaWatch, both evaluated engaging real users in a medium-scale pilot in Torino (Italy) and Stockholm (Sweden).
Ostoform; using advanced material combinations to improve ostomy skin health.

Ostoform is a spin-out medical device company from the University of Limerick, Ireland with a range of patented technologies, and the potential to scale, becoming a global leader in the area of ostomy skin health. There is enormous opportunity to address needs in the ostomy market, with 66% of all ileostomy and urostomy patients suffering from skin complications. The company’s first, award winning product, uses a combination of advanced absorbent and non-absorbent materials to prevent acidic output from contacting the patient’s skin. Benefits of this product include healthier skin, better usability, increased patient confidence and improved patient quality of life. Ostoform will release this product in 2018, and major ostomy companies, including B Braun and For Life have already expressed strong interest in distribution.
The addressable patient population for Ostoform’s first product is approximately 1,000,000 in the EU and US combined, resulting in an annual market of $725m. The device is typically reimbursed by healthcare systems, resulting in a smoother route to market. 
This feasibility study will be used to further develop a global reimbursement and go-to-market strategy for Ostoform’s first product. It will also assist in establishing a final cost of manufacture for the device.

Characterization of the role of netrin-1 in the regulation of the epithelial-to-mesenchymal transition during tumor progression.

Recent data coming from both basic research and clinical trials converge toward the importance of the epithelial/mesenchymal status of a tumor to respond to conventional chemotherapies and immune-checkpoint inhibitors. These observations set the Epithelial-to-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) program at the centre of cancer biology. Besides its multiple roles in development and during adulthood, EMT is activated during tumor progression not only to allow metastatic dissemination of cancer cells, which is responsible for the vast majority of patients’ death, but also to provide cells with stem-like properties and resistance mechanisms to survive chemotherapy. It is now widely accepted that future therapies will have to target and/or block the EMT process and allow conventional therapies to efficiently kill the differentiated, epithelial cells to treat patients with advanced solid tumors.  NetriCan will analyse for the first time the implication of netrin-1 and its dependence receptor UNC5B in the regulation of EMT, either directly or via its cell death-related function. Moreover, the re-epithelialization effect of the anti-netrin-1 monoclonal antibody observed in tumors in vivo and in a preliminary cohort of patients shows that netrin-1/UNC5B may not only be involved in the direct regulation of maintenance of EMT but also serve as a survival mechanism for metastatic tumor cells. To achieve this, Netrican will first analyse how the upregulation of netrin-1 and UNC5B is regulated during EMT. It will then investigate the role of the netrin-1/UNC5B axis in the establishment and maintenance of the EMT program needed for cell dissemination and metastasis. Finally, this project will elucidate the therapeutic potential of the anti-netrin-1 strategy for both triggering primary tumor re-epithelialization and killing mesenchymal tumor cells. In summary, NetriCan will provide innovative findings to develop novel promising therapeutic approach for patients with advanced solid tumors.
Advances in 3D neuronal cell culture

In this contribution, the authors present our advances in three-dimensional (3D) neuronal cell culture platform technology contributing to controlled environments for microtissue engineering and analysis of cellular physiological and pathological responses. First, a micromachined silicon sieving structure is presented as key parameter for a modified version of a planar tissue culture, allowing seeding of single neurons in pyramidal shaped pores by a hydrodynamic sieve flow. Second, a nanogroove–hydrogel interface is presented as a more biomimetic in vivo representation of neuronal tissues, where 3D culturing is required to reproduce the layered tissue organization, which is observed in the microenvironment of the brain. To further our understanding of uniquely nanopatterned interfaces, the authors evaluated 3D neuronal outgrowth into Matrigel atop of primary cortical cell (CTX) cultured on nanogrooves. The interface facilitates conformation of cell somas and aligned outgrowth in 3D with outgrowth alignment preserved in Matrigel up to 6 μm above the nanogrooved substrate, which has a pattern height of just 108 nm. Finally, with the view to incorporate these guided culture interfaces in our previously designed hybrid Polydimethylsiloxane bioreactor, the authors have also explored 3D cellular culture matrix as a variable in such systems. By analyzing the effect of different gel matrices (Matrigel, PuraMatrix, and collagen-I) on the neuron model cell line SH-SY5Y, the authors bring together the ability to guide neuronal growth in spatially standardized patterns and within a bioreactor potentially coupled to an array of single cells that could facilitate readout of such complex cultures by integration with existing technologies (e.g., microelectrode arrays). Various combinations of these novel techniques can be made and help to design experimental studies to investigate how changes in cell morphology translate to changes in function but also how changes in connectivity relate to changes in electrophysiology. These latest advancements will lead to the development of improved, highly organized in vitro assays to understand, mimic, and treat brain disorders.
Returns to Human Capital and the Incorporation of Highly-Skilled Workers in the Public and Private Sector of Major Immigrant Societies: An Introduction

Across the major immigrant societies of the European Union, EU-15 countries, migrants and minorities still experience economic disadvantage. This failure of economic integration poses significant questions about the utilization of human capital, the management of mobility and the competitiveness of European labour markets (Cameron, 2011; OECD, 2017). Using a variety of datasets, this special issue pushes the debate forward in several ways. We will consider the integration outcomes of both migrants and second generation minority members in comparison to majority members. Labour market outcomes will be considered broadly: the probability of employment but also overqualification will be taken into account. Offering both analysis of single country cases and a cross-national comparison, the special issue will build a comprehensive picture of the factors associated with labour market disadvantage of migrant men and women, and their descendants—particularly, differential returns to foreign qualifications and educational credentials, differences between public and private sectors placements, and where possible the period of the economic crisis will be examined as well.
