Improving the accuracy of proximal timing detection from ballistocardiogram signals using a high bandwidth force plate

Ballistocardiography (BCG) is a non-invasive measure of the reactionary forces of the body to cardiac ejection of blood into the vasculature. BCG signals are currently measured by modified weighing scales, chairs, beds, or wearable tri-axial accelerometers. In this work, we measure the BCG using a high bandwidth multicomponent force plate and compare the timing accuracy of our measured signals with a weighing scale BCG that we have developed and verified in prior studies. We also examine the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of BCG signals obtained with each of the two instruments. Our results indicate that the force plate BCG measurement provides more accurate timing information as it allows for more reliable prediction of the pre-ejection period (PEP) — the time the ventricles spend in isovolumetric contraction — than the scale BCG (r2=0.83 vs r2=0.73). The SNR comparison results were as follows: although the force plate BCG has a slightly better SNR, the improvement is not significant and we conclude that SNR is limited by motion artifacts rather than instrumentation.

Estrogen Receptor Beta and CXCR4/CXCL12 Expression: Differences by Sex and Hormonal Status in Lung Adenocarcinoma

Studies have reported differences in lung cancer behavior between sex and hormonal status that suggest a role of estrogens and estrogen receptor beta (ERβ) in lung carcinogenesis. In some types of hormone-dependent cancer, estrogens may regulate CXCL12/CXCR4 expression through ERβ signaling. High expression of CXCL12/CXCR4 is associated with poor prognosis in lung cancer because it promotes tumor growth and metastasis. Therefore, in this study we investigated whether lung adenocarcinoma tissues from pre- and postmenopausal women and from men exhibit different ERβ, CXCR4/CXCL12 expression and whether this expression is associated with clinicopathological features.Sixty primary tumor samples of lung adenocarcinoma from pre- and postmenopausal women and from men were collected for this study. Thirty samples of healthy lung tissue adjacent to the tumor site were used as controls. ERβ and CXCL12/CXCR4 expression was analyzed by immunohistochemistry. Expression of these proteins was measured by digital image software and compared between sex and hormonal status.Lung adenocarcinomas overexpressed ERβ, CXCR4 and CXCL12 compared to normal lung. Moreover, lung adenocarcinomas from premenopausal women exhibited higher signals for ERβ, CXCL12 and CXCR4 compared to postmenopausal women and to men, who showed lower signals for these proteins. A multivariate analysis revealed a strong association between the immunoreactivity level of ERβ, CXCL12/CXCR4 and both sex and hormonal status, but not with tumor stage and smoking.These results demonstrated that ERβ and CXCL12/CXCR4 expression in lung adenocarcinoma depends on sex and hormonal status, which may partly explain the sex and hormonal differences in lung cancer behavior.

Recycling shredded used tyres and rubber waste into personalized recovered carbon black to limit use of fossil fuels and carbon dioxide emission

Rubber tyres have been with us for the last 130 years. Manufactured and used on a massive scale, they have a significant impact on our economy. But they also generate global problems related to handling of over 1.5 billion of used tyres every year, and consuming fossil fuels (mostly crude oil) to produce new ones. Only a small fraction of used tyres is rethreaded, while most end their life generating electricity or producing heat in steelworks or cement kilns, although generating high volumes of CO2. At Syntoil, we aim to change it by overcoming limitations of existing technologies and bringing to the market the continuous pyrolysis. We have developed a working limited-scale prototype with which we show how to minimize the emission of air pollutants, decrease the amount of necessary human labour in harmful environment, improve scalability and increase financial efficiency of the entire process. With CBreCycle, we go one step beyond that focusing on one of the main products of pyrolysis which is char (contaminated pyro-soot), rich in coal but containing ashes and other pollutants. As such, it is mainly used today to produce energy or a filler in construction despite being potentially a valuable recovered material. We developed a unique method able to recover Carbon Black (CB) from the char and replace traditional CB in tyre manufacturing and other applications. We do it at a price level lower than the market price of CB produced out of crude oil. Additionally, our cleaning technology allows for personalizing recovered CB which opens highly profitable applications in various industries. With our solution we can not only mitigate the use of fossil fuels but we minimise generated amounts of CO2. Within support from the EIC Accelerator we plan to develop an industrial scale demonstrator to confirm the scalability of our solution and prepare foundation for post-project commercialization addressing the new and rapidly growing rCB market worth nearly EUR 450M in 2023.
Variability of the semidiurnal internal tides observed on the Timor Shelf

[1] Semidiurnal internal tides drive strong flow variations on the shelf between Timor Island and Australia. The variability of the internal tide over seasonal to interannual time scales is studied using temperature and velocity measurements from 11 moorings, a first attempt for an observational regional synthesis of internal tide behavior. The energy density and flux carried by the semidiurnal tides were calculated from the full water column profile estimated by the Gauss-Markov fit of the vertical modes incorporating the effects of sloping bottom topography. The estimated energy flux can be interpreted either as generated at and propagating from nearby forcing sites where strong barotropic tides flow over steep topography or as trapped by and circulating around an island topography. The relevant horizontal length scale of the topography is several tens of kilometers, which is the wavelength of the vertical first-mode internal tides. At some of the moorings with sufficiently long records, seasonal variations of energy density and flux are found with maxima in late summer to winter, which is the same phase as the seasonal variation of the temperature stratification between 100 and 200 m depths. The relationship between the temperature stratification and the internal tide energy density is not linear. For the energy density, the amplitude of the seasonal variation as well as the standard deviation correlates well with the mean value with a correlation coefficient >0.8 and a p value <0.03, but the correlation between the energy density and area-integrated barotropic tidal forcing is not significant.
Risky by Design: The Mandatory Private Pillar of Australia's Retirement Income System

Australia's retirement income system has been touted by some as among the world's best. Its contemporary architecture mirrors the ‘ideal’ recommended by the World Bank. Yet occupational superannuation, the mandatory private pillar of Australia's retirement income system, is one to which many uncertainties and, hence, risks are attached almost by design. This article explores some of these systemic risks in light of the impact of the global financial crisis (GFC) and its aftermath and considers some of their implications. The range of risks includes inflation risk, malfeasance and incompetence in the management of superannuation funds, exchange rate risk, investment risk, longevity risk and political risk. However, this article focuses on the latter three. While Australia's federal governments have become increasingly conscious of investment risk and longevity risk, greater sensitivity to political risk and its impacts is still needed.
Green fast ferry - the world’s first 30 knots battery powered air supported commuter ferry

The Green Fast Ferry (GFF) is a full-electric, high speed passenger craft, which will be the only zero emission ferry on the market to meet performances of high speed diesel commuters: 30 knots (55 km/h) speed, large autonomy (26 km routes in 30 min) and fast recharge at port < 20 min. GFF is based on a the patented technology Air Supported Vessel (ASV), that thanks to a pressurized air cushion underneath the hull, reduces energy consumption of > 40%. GFF is suitable for substitution of existing diesel commuters and introduction in sheltered waters and inland where conventional fast ferries are not allowed due to cost erosions, due to strongly reduce wake wash. GFF has a huge market potential in Emission Control Areas in EU (Baltic and North Sea). 
Objective of the project is to engineer, validate and demonstrate the GFF with potential customers and prepare it for the commercialization. In particular the prototype, developed within an EC funded European project and already tested in real scale, will be demonstrated through logged endurance tests (> 500 hours of operation) to get the technical documentation and engineer the components and manufacturing. The prototype will be demonstrated to the target stakeholders under real-life conditions through a “roadshow” in Sweden: one existing route and two potential high speed city commuting routes subject to speed restrictions due to wake wash problems. 
The operation of GFF will result in economical advantage of about 300 k€ per year to alternative diesel ferries, with a pay-back-time of 3 years, even less under financial supports. Each vessel will avoid consumption and emissions corresponding to 500 diesel cars each driving 15.000 km per year. The value chain is covered by the 3 partners, providing the key technologies and know-how, while the rest of components is purchased from the market. The overall revenues are estimated to reach 100 M€ after 5 years with a profit of 32 M€.
Design Artificial Intelligent Parallel Feedback Linearization of PID Control with Application to Continuum Robot

Refer to this research, an intelligent robust fuzzy parallel feedback linearization estimator for ProportionalIntegral-Derivative (PID) controller is proposed for highly nonlinear continuum robot manipulator. In the absence of robot knowledge, PID may be the best controller, because it is model-free, and its parameters can be adjusted easily and separately. And it is the most used in robot manipulators. In order to remove steadystate error caused by uncertainties and noise, the integrator gain has to be increased. This leads to worse transient performance, even destroys the stability. The integrator in a PID controller also reduces the bandwidth of the closed-loop system. Model-based compensation for PD control is an alternative method to substitute PID control. Feedback linearization compensation is one of the nonlinear compensator. The first problem o f the pure feedback linearization co mpensator (FLC) was equivalent problem in certain and uncertain systems. The nonlinear equivalent dynamic problem in uncertain system is solved by using parallel fuzzy logic theory. To eliminate the continuum robot man ipulator system’s dynamic; Mamdani fuzzy inference system is design and applied to FLC. Th is methodology is based on design parallel fu zzy inference system and applied to equivalent nonlinear dynamic part of FLC. The results demonstrate that the model free fuzzy FLC estimator works well to co mpensate linear PID controller in presence of part ly uncertainty system (e.g., continuum robot).
Advanced cyber-security simulation platform for preparedness training in aviation, naval and power-grid environments

The FORESIGHT project aims to develop a federated cyber-range solution to enhance the preparedness of cyber-security professionals at all levels and advance their skills towards preventing, detecting, reacting and mitigating sophisticated cyber-attacks. This is achieved by delivering an ecosystem of networked realistic training and simulation platforms that collaboratively bring unique cyber-security aspects from the aviation, smart grid and naval domains. The proposed platform will extend the capabilities of existing cyber-ranges and will allow the creation of complex cross-domain/hybrid scenarios to be built jointly with the IoT domain. Emphasis is given on the design and implementation of realistic and dynamic scenarios that are based on identified and forecasted trends of cyber-attacks and vulnerabilities extracted from cyber-threat intelligence gathered from the dark web; this will enable cyber-security professionals to rapidly adapt to an evolving threat landscape. The development of advanced risk analysis and econometric models will prove to be valuable in estimating the impact of cyber-risks, selecting the most appropriate and affordable security measures, and minimising the cost and time to recover from cyber-attacks. Innovative training curricula, guiding cyber-security professionals to implement and combine security measures using new technologies and established learning methodologies, will be created and employed for training needs; they will be linked to professional certification programs and be supported by learning platforms. Aside from the development of skills, the project aims at a holistic approach to cyber-threat management with the ultimate goal of cultivating a strong security culture. As such, the project puts considerable emphasis on research and development (i.e. research on cyber-threats, development of novel ideas, etc) as the key to increasing training dynamics and awareness methods for exceeding the rate of evolution of cyber-attackers
METHOD OF MANUFACTURING A NONWOVEN MATERIAL

Method of producing a nonwoven material by hydroentangling a fiber mixture containing continuous filaments, e.g. meltblown and/or spunbond fibers, and natural fibers and/or synthetic staple fibers. The method is characterized by foamforming a fibrous web (14) of natural fibers and/or synthetic staple fibers and hydroentangling together the foamed fiber dispersion with the continuous filaments (11) for forming composite material where the continous filaments are well integrated with the rest of the fibers.
Runtime Configurable Service Process Model

Service process has been increasingly adopted in various domains with the development of service computing. As more and more service processes come to have complex business logic for changing business requirements, service process must have the ability to configure itself automatically in a certain business context. In this paper, we provide an approach to realize service processi¯s self-configuration based on the process structure tree. In this way, context-based rules with business context are defined for each fragment in different hierarchy, and when the fragment is invoked, rules that meet the needs of the current environment are chosen and applied on the fragment, making the service flexible enough to always adapt itself to satisfy the context during the runtime.
Dynamics of cavity fields with dissipative and amplifying couplings through multiple quantum two-state systems

We consider simultaneous dissipative and amplifying coupling of cavity fields to multiple two-state systems. We derive a master equation for optical field in a leaky cavity coupled to a reservoir through multiple two-state systems. In our previous works we have limited our study to systems where the reservoir either solely absorbs energy (detector setup) or adds energy (amplifying setup) to the cavity through a single two-state system. In this work we allow both interactions simultaneously and derive a reduced dynamic model for the optical field. We also generalize our model to cover the coupling of the field to several two state systems and discuss its connection to macroscopic interaction, e.g., in semiconductors. Our model includes four physical parameters: the field two-state system coupling $\ensuremath{\gamma}$, the excitation and deexcitation couplings of the two-state system by the reservoir ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{A}$ and ${\ensuremath{\lambda}}_{D}$, respectively, and the mirror losses of the cavity $C$. We solve the steady-state fields at different regimes of these physical parameters. Furthermore, we show that, depending on the parameters, our model can describe the operation of a detector, a light emitting diode, or a laser.
Terraced landscapes of the Alpine arc

Project ALPTER has been built to contrast the disappearence of agricultural terraced areas: a problem of great span, with consequences as loss of productive land and increase of natural hazard, damage to bio-diversity and cultural heritage; so much to deserve attention of international institutions as UNESCO and UNCCD.
Working in areas all over Alps, the project will collect knowledge, develop technologies and produce examples of productive recovery to prompt large-scale transformation. 
To the same end the project will build a network to put in contact different subjects interested in this topic, promoting exchange of information and active synergies.

Step-by-step strategy of the project: 
- acquisition of the base knowledge necessary for recovery
- development of innovative technologies designed for terracements
- pilot works to produce representative examples of recovery
- construction of a network, linked to global ones (Mountain Partnership, UNCCD)
- diffusion of project results among institutions and stakeholders
Towards realistic parametrization of the kinetic anisotropy and the resulting instabilities in space plasmas. Electromagnetic electron–cyclotron instability in the solar wind

Measuredin situ, the particle velocity distributions in the solar wind plasma reveal two distinct components: a Maxwellian (thermal) core, and a less dense but hotter suprathermal halo with a power-law distribution described by Lorentzian/Kappa distribution function. Despite this evidence, the existing attempts to parametrize anisotropic distributions and the resulting wave instabilities are limited to idealized models, which either ignore the suprathermal populations, or minimize the core, assuming it is cold. Here, a more realistic approach is identified, combining an isotropic Maxwellian core and an anisotropic bi-Kappa halo. This model is relevant at large heliocentric distances and for the slow winds, when the field-aligned strahl is less pronounced and kinetic energy densities in the core and halo are comparable. A comparative study with the cold-core-based model is performed on the electron whistler–
