COMPACT MULTI-COLUMN ANTENNA

The invention provides an antenna arrangement having an operating frequency band with a mean wavelength λ and comprising at least two columns of antenna elements with at least two antenna elements in each column. Each column of antenna elements extends above a separate elongated column ground plane with a column separation defined as a distance between midpoints of neighbouring column ground planes. The antenna elements in each column are located along a column axis pointing in a longitudinal direction of the column ground plane wherein all column separations are below 0,9λ and wherein a parasitic element extends above at least one antenna element in each column. Parameters of the parasitic element are adapted for proper excitation thus achieving a reduced beamwidth for each of said columns of antennas. The invention also provides a method to manufacture the antenna arrangement.
Silicon technology for novel semiconductor-superconductor hybrid qubits

The quantum information revolution aims at transforming information technology by engineering quantum systems, i.e. qubits, that can be used for quantum information processing (QIP), which allows to perform computations inaccessible to classical computers. In the quest for such systems, solid-state qubits alongside trapped ions currently are the leading candidates. One of the most advanced solid-state technologies to date is based on superconducting quantum circuits (SQCs), which makes use of Josephson tunnel junctions and their macroscopic quantum coherence between two superconducting islands. Due to recent advances in semiconductor-superconductor hybrid (SSH) devices, novel SSH-based qubit architectures have emerged, demonstrating improved properties compared to conventional SQCs, such as in-situ tunability while not being susceptible to flux noise. These novel SSH qubits make use of the true microscopic particle transport within SSH weak links. The main goal of the project is to unambiguously demonstrate SSH-based qubits as a viable and scalable platform for QIP by combining novel SQCs with advanced silicon-technology. The fellow will develop and characterise SSH weak links solely based on silicon (Si), which have the advantage of being fully CMOS compatible and consisting entirely of crystalline materials. Finally, these Si-based weak links will be implemented in novel SQCs, which will combine the good controllability of SQCs with the unique material quality of Si. This will allow the study of the underlying charge dynamics, giving insight into sources of loss, and offer new possibilities for complex architectures. The successful completion of this project will be a decisive landmark towards understanding and integrating such devices in larger circuits, which will be crucial a step towards a vital roadmap for their application in QIP.
Making Time for Well-Baby Care: The Role of Maternal Employment

The American Academy of Pediatrics recommends children receive six well-baby visits between ages 1 month and 1 year, yet by age 14 months less than 10% of infants have received all six visits. Cost sharing under public and private insurance is very low. Low compliance rates despite the low cost of care suggest other factors, such as time costs, may be important. This paper examines the relationship between maternal employment and receipt of well-baby care. The Medical Expenditure Panel Survey contains rich information on use of preventive care, maternal employment, and other economic and non-economic factors that may influence care decisions. Several approaches, including a proxy variable strategy and instrumental variables analysis, are used to attempt to address the potential endogeneity of maternal employment and examine the sensitivity of findings. Findings indicate mothers who work full-time take their children to 0.18 fewer visits (or 9% fewer at the mean) than those who have quit their jobs. Mothers with employer provided paid vacation leave take their children to 0.20 more visits (or 9% more at the mean) than other working mothers. Time appears to be an important factor in determining well-baby care receipt. Policies that extend paid leave to more employed women may improve compliance with preventive care recommendations.
Modelling Short-run Money Demand for the US

There is a vast amount of empirical evidence concerning the cointegrating relationship between money demand, some kind of interest rate and income. In contrast to this, short-run dynamics are still opaque. In the existing literature, the return to steady state is modeled quite differently. The range goes from simple error correction models to non-linear approaches. Here a method is proposed for considering not only disequilibria between money demand and its steady state of only the last period but also those of the recent past in a parsimonious and economic meaningful way. Different to multicointegration, weights for cumulating of steady-state deviations are geometrically decreasing the more they are located in the past. This model possesses an ARMA (1,1) representation and leads to an ARMAX-model if combined with a conventional error correction model. This approach is shown to track money demand short-run dynamics better and more parsimony than the partial-adjustment model as used by Ball using the same data in order to allow for a comparison of results.

Supramolecular hydrogels as local controlled drug delivery carriers

In recent years, macroscale drug delivery systems have been designed and investigated to spatiotemporally control the release of various bioactive agents and drugs at specific locations in the body.  Many of these macroscale drug delivery vehicles are based on hydrogels.  Depending on the location of application, and the temporal release kinetics, these hydrogel drug carriers need to be adjusted to the need of the application. Many of the currently available hydrogel systems do not have the capacity to be totally tuned. These systems: a) display a substantial initial burst release of the drug resulting in high drug doses at the initial phase; b) are difficult to apply (surgical implantation is necessary for various systems, thereby limiting their potential of easy/convenient application); c) provide only limited opportunities for chemical adjustment of their composition to improve key material properties such as their release kinetics and/or degradation rate. SupraCarrier aims to address these unmet needs by developing an injectable, supramolecular ureido-pyrimidinone (UPy) based hydrogel (UPy-hydrogel) drug delivery system that allows for local and sustained drug release. The unique selling points of this UPy-hydrogel system are: a) its demonstrated sustained drug release profile in vitro (with no initial burst release); b) its injectability due to its unique physicochemical properties (that allow for the development of clinical strategies using minimally invasive procedures); and c) its chemical structure and supramolecular assembly behaviour which allows for easy modification of either the UPy-hydrogel carrier or the drug (resulting in a versatile drug delivery platform). With SupraCarrier we aim to a) validate the commercial feasibility of a UPy-hydrogel as a novel local drug delivery system for controlled (and sustained) drug release; b) prioritise the medical applications where this system can be used; and c) provide a proof of concept for using a UPy-hydrogel
LATTICE STRUCTURE REPRESENTATION FOR A THREE-DIMENSIONAL OBJECT

Certain described examples relate to the generation of data for use in producing a three-dimensional object. Certain examples utilize lattice indexes to define a lattice associated with a particular portion of the three dimensional object. The lattice index may be used in a matrix generation operation that compares index values with threshold values to generate a three-dimensional lattice matrix. The three- dimensional lattice matrix is useable to instruct a structure of the three-dimensional object.
Application of biological indices and a mathematical model for the detection of metal coagulant overload in a laboratory scale activated sludge reactor with phosphate simultaneous precipitation

Abstract Phosphorous simultaneous precipitation by coagulants reduces the volatile solids percentage which can be deleterious to the biological process. In this work a mathematical model was developed and biological indices were applied to control Fe(III)-dosed activated sludge systems. A molar ratio Fe:P = 1.9–2.3:1 on the aeration basin of a laboratory-scale activated sludge reactor caused a progressive enrichment of the sludge with inorganic solids deteriorating the system performance. Crawling and attached ciliates were the most sensitive organism groups to these changes. The proposed mathematical model estimated: (i) the threshold concentration of fixed suspended solids, above which the reactor performance deteriorates, and (ii) the decay of the most sensitive organism groups with time. The Shannon–Wiener and sludge biotic indices predicted the decrease of the reactor performance by coagulant overload. The simultaneous application of the mathematical simulation and the biological indices guarantees a successful control of systems operated with phosphorous simultaneous precipitation by Fe(III).

Finally the Cd and Se containing nanocrystalline composite isolated. In another embodiment the reaction mixture is formed by adding into a suitable solvent the element Cd, or a precursor thereof, Se, where applicable M and where applicable A. In this embodiment the reaction mixture is heated and water formed during the process is being removed.
Parent–adolescent discrepancies in reports of adolescent tobacco and alcohol use associated with family relationships in Taiwan

This study assessed the discrepancies between reports from parents and adolescents concerning family relationships and the use of tobacco and alcohol by adolescents. Data were obtained from a sample of 2015 parent–adolescent dyads recruited from 30 junior high schools in Taipei City and Taouyun County, Taiwan, in 2010. The results indicated that more than 90% of parent–adolescent dyads agreed to no tobacco/alcohol use by adolescents. More than half (38 parents; 68%) of responding parents were unaware of the tobacco use that was reported by 56 adolescents in this study. A high percentage (133 parents; 93.7%) of the responding parents were unaware of the alcohol use reported by 142 adolescents in this study. Parents reported higher levels of parent–adolescent attachment, communication, monitoring and teaching than was reported by their adolescent children. Multivariate logistic regression results showed that lower ratings by adolescents on questions of family attachment, poor academic performance and delinq...
Agricultural Extension in Nigeria's Transformation Agenda: Key Recommendations Based on a Field Study

Nigeria’s smallholder farmers constitute about 70 percent of the nation’s population and giving them access to agricultural extension services is critical to successful agricultural transformation agenda. This study addressed a fundamental issue on whether Nigeria’s extension practitioners have the capacity to address smallholder farmers’ needs. Multi-stage sampling procedure was used to sample 47 extension workers in the six geo-political zones of Nigeria. We used structured questionnaire to elicit information on respondents’ job satisfaction, training needs, and effectiveness of extension workers. Significant challenges facing extension which must be tackled to avoid impeding the transformation agenda include: a) training and equipping extension workers with information and communication technologies that will expand their ability to reach large numbers of smallholder farmers deep in the rural hinterlands; b) enlarging their knowledge and skills of development and communication to facilitate integrated rural development programming; and c) improving performance by adopting creative ways for motivating workers. All these challenges can be tackled easily by adopting a “Communication for Development” (C4D) approach the World Bank and the Food and Agriculture Organization contend is essential to “achieving the Millennium Development Goals”. By adopting C4D Nigeria could be the first in Sub-Saharan Africa in demonstrating the impact of communication on development.
Resurrect your zombiapp. or are you just going to let it die?

The emerging game app mobile market has shown great economy potential. However, revenues are highly concentrated. At the top end of the revenue scale there are just 1.6% of developers, while 57% of app games are below the ‘app poverty line’ due to two main problems:
1) Developers find difficulties for getting their new apps noticed. App developers believe that marketing is necessary for success, but small developers such as SMEs, entrepreneurs and independent developers cannot afford or take advantage of current marketing tools. 
2) Obtaining user downloads is no longer enough in order to build a great business with mobile apps. The most successful game apps are free-to-play, monetising a tiny fraction of their audience via consumable in-app purchases. A recent study shows that, in average, developers invest €139 in marketing for each €100 they earn. 

Thus, user attraction can be easily but costly boosted by current approaches but user retention and optimizing revenues per user to support apps with freemium strategies is still an on-going issue. BIKO intends to offer a disruptive game apps marketing tool, the ZombiApp service, with a twofold innovative approach: 
1) Automated assessment of users interaction for marketing recommendations.
2) User profiling/segmentation for cross-promotion focused on user engagement, IAPs monetization strategy and user expenditure behaviour. 

The service will redirect users within the network to indicated games in timely moments taking into account its monetization potential in the current app (the likelihood of these user still spending money on it) and the estimated exhaustion points of the app (when users tend to uninstall the game). 

Moreover, BIKO proposes a disruptive business model based on a shared revenue approach easing the access to app promotion tools to small developers.
Accounting for the Familial: Discourse, Practice and Political Possibility

Families can be frustrating. Donna Haraway is not alone when she remarks that she is “sick to death of bonding through kinship and ‘the family,’” and longs “for models of solidarity and human unity and difference rooted in friendship, work, partially shared purposes, intractable collective pain, inescapable mortality and persistent hope” (Haraway, 1997, 265 cited in Nash, 2005, 450). Nash (2005) echoes this frustration in her refusal to specify her own genealogy in her research on Irish genealogy tourism. But as Nash also points out, this irritation arises from her own privileging of mobile, unrooted identities, a position resonant with the emergence of transnational identity literature. Perhaps this tendency to privilege mobility, flows, and transnational identities is in part responsible for the family’s ‘absent presence’ in geography (Valentine, 2007). Indeed, a number of geographers have called for more focused research on the family and heterosexuality (Domosh, 1999; Hubbard, 2000), intimacy (Valentine, 2007; Oswin, 2010), geopolitics (Harker, 2010, 2011, 2012), biological relatedness (Nash, 2005), and immigration politics (White and Gilmartin, 2008; Conlon, 2010; Martin, 2011). In this intervention, I pull together recent work beyond and between geographers, rethinking familial relatedness and showing how taking families seriously opens up opportunities for connecting seemingly disparate political projects.

User-generated ratings may have been previously created at a ratings source by a user associated with a customer profile. The method for aggregating ratings includes importing the ratings from the ratings source, storing the ratings in a customer profile, normalizing the ratings, and storing the normalized ratings. The normalized rating may be used to determine recommendations and preferences. The method for importing ratings includes receiving authentication information for a ratings source, authenticating to the ratings source, importing the ratings from the ratings source, and storing the ratings in a customer profile. Changes in the ratings may be detected and updated in the customer profile.
Realistic Approach of the Relations of Uncertainty of Heisenberg

Due to the requirements of the principle of causality in the theory of relativity, one cannot make a device for the simultaneous measuring of the canonical conjugate variables in the conjugate Fourier spaces. Instead of admitting that a particle’s position and its conjugate momentum cannot be accurately measured at the same time, we consider the only probabilities which can be determined when working at subatomic level to be valid. On the other hand, based on Schwinger's action principle and using the quadridimensional form of the unitary transformation generator function of the quantum operators in the paper, the general form of the evolution equation for these operators is established. In the nonrelativistic case one obtains the Heisenberg's type evolution equations which can be particularized to derive Heisenberg's uncertainty relations. The analysis of the uncertainty relations as implicit evolution equations allows us to put into evidence the intrinsic nature of the correlation expressed by these equations in straight relations with the measuring process. The independence of the quantisation postulate from the causal evolution postulate of quantum mechanics is also put into discussion.
Role of Cytokines in Treatment-Resistant Depression

The exact pathophysiology of major depressive disorder (MDD) has yet to be fully elucidated. The belief that depression is strictly a disorder of monoaminergic consequences is undergoing great reconsideration due to the lack of efficacy of the current pharmacotherapeutics. There is compelling clinical literature implicating a role for cytokines in the pathophysiology of MDD. IL-6 and IL-1β are pleiotropic inflammatory cytokines that have been reported to be elevated in patients with MDD. The present studies were undertaken to investigate the relationship between IL-6 and IL-1β in animal models of depressive-like behavior. In rats subjected to learned helplessness or a submissive behavior paradigm, analysis of brain tissue homogenates revealed elevated levels of IL-6 protein in the absence of elevations in IL-1β. Central administration of recombinant mouse IL-6 produced depressive-like phenotypes in mice in the absence of IL-1β induced increases in brain tissue or IL-1β related sickness behavior typical of a general CNS inflammatory response. These data therefore suggest that IL-6 and IL-1β have distinct roles in mediating depressive-like and sickness behaviors, respectively. Administration of the SSRI fluoxetine in the presence of centrally administered IL-6 failed to produce the expected antidepressant-like response in mice. Further, administration of fluoxetine to mice with endogenous overexpression of brain IL-6 (MRL/MpJ-Faslpr/lpr (LPR mice)) failed to produce the expected antidepressant-like effect relative to fluoxetine-treated WT control mice (MRL/MpJ+/+). Interestingly, blockade of IL-6 trans-signaling by co-administration of a gp130/Fc monomer or an anti-mouse IL-6 antibody with IL-6 prevented the IL-6-induced depressive-like behavior as well as attenuated IL-6-induced increases in brain protein levels. Taken together these data indicate that depressive-like behavior may be related to elevated levels of IL-6 in the brain and suggest that modulation of the IL-6 signaling pathway by way of preventing de novo IL-6 production may have therapeutic potential for treatment-resistant depression.
