Pangea aerospace - launch vehicles for small satellites (payload capacity up to 150kg), wich provide affordable access to space tailored to the micro/nano satellite market

Pangea is a company whose purpose is to design, build and operate a new category of Rockets to provide affordable access to space tailored to mcro/nano satellite companies -Payload<150kg- at LEO (Low Earth Orbit).
Aims to design a Greener and cost affordable launch system. Its product development strategy is based on two key elements: i.-REUSABILITY, we will use existing and proven technologies in others industries that we transfer to aerospace sector, ii.-COST EFFICIENCY, for it will use Aerospike Engine –that’s feasible thanks to metal 3D print technology- return to base capabilities and reusable methane and liquid oxygen propellants, which are 5-10% more efficient and may be the standard of the market in 20 years. 
The value proposal of Pangea is to have the lower price per kilogram in the micro launcher industry by coupling a more efficient main engine (aerospike engine) together with reusability, allowed by our RRTB system, and a system solution of electric pumps, liquid oxygen and methane propellants etc. to simplify refurbishment. Furthermore, we offer an end-to-end service to small-satellite manufacturers, from integration to deorbiting of their satellites.
Pangea’s price per launch is between 3-3,6M € with a payload to orbit of 150 kg. This equates to a price of 20K-24K € per kilogram launched for interested parties. This amount represents a drastic cost reduction compared to existing dedicated launch services. 
Our product is tailored around the most advanced manufacturing techniques and takes advantage of mature technologies from other fields of application. We have been rethinking the traditional rocket design procedure from scratch to include reusability from the very start which allows us to create a system that puts less wear on the critical components of the rocket. 
The team is a young multinational team with a broad knowledge base within all fields of aerospace engineering. Together they strive to create the best launching service for small sats.
Age variation and sexual dimorphism in the sixteen diagnostic clusters of risk factors for the metabolic syndrome

OBJECTIVE: To document age- and sex-related differences in the 16 phenotypes of risk factors for the metabolic syndrome (MS) among adults in the Fels Longitudinal Study (FLS). METHODS: Data on risk factors for the MS were analyzed in 471 white men and 503 white women in the FLS. We used the Cochran-Armitage test to compare age- and sex-related differences in the prevalence of the 16 diagnostic clusters of positive risk factors. RESULTS: Of the 974 subjects, 238 were found to meet diagnostic criteria for 15 of a possible 16 phenotypes of the MS. The prevalence of the MS was four times greater in subjects older than 40 years than in subjects 20-40 years old. Older subjects had more risk factors exceeding criterion values than younger subjects. Among those who met three-to-five criteria for the MS, younger subjects were more likely to have dyslipidemia, less likely to have high blood pressure (HBP), and two times less likely to have impaired fasting plasma glucose (IFG) than subjects 40+ years old. Older men were more likely than older women to have HBP and IFG. . We found that if one of the five risk factors reaches a criterion value, the values for the other four risk factors move closer to their own diagnostic criterion values in apparent synchrony. CONCLUSIONS: Subjects 40+ years old are four times likelier to have the MS than younger subjects, and older men are at higher risk than older women. The mean values for each of the five risk factors get progressively worse as the number of risk factors meeting diagnostic criteria increases. Therefore, when one factor is found to meet its diagnostic criterion, levels of the other four risk factors should be measured. The different phenotypic patterns that comprise the MS should prompt clinicians to target specific risk factors for prevention or treatment. Certain phenotypes were found more commonly in women and certain others more commonly in men. Similarly, certain phenotypes were found more commonly in older than in younger age groups. These age- and sex-specific phenotypes should help clinicians to identify subjects at highest risk for certain risk factors and to initiate specifically tailored preventive and therapeutic interventions. Our observations should also stimulate clinical investigators and epidemiologists to ascertain what factors determine the sex and age specificity of certain phenotypes of the MS.
METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR INHIBITING PAIN SIGNALS DURING VACUUM-ASSISTED MEDICAL TREATMENTS OF THE SKIN

An apparatus adapted to inhibit pain signals generated by pain receptors in the skin during a skin related medical treatment such as an injection. An evacuation chamber is provided with an essentially rigid interface element through which a medical treatment can be administered to a selected skin region, one or more walls which are placeable on, or in the vicinity of, the skin region, an interior defined by the walls and by the interface element, and an opening at the bottom of the interior which is sealable by the skin region. A device generates a vacuum within the evacuation chamber interior to a level suitable for drawing the skin region through the opening towards, and in a compressing relation against, the interface element, to inhibit the transmission of a pain signal generated by pain receptors located within the skin region.
Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) for polymer mixing tank

This project focuses on improving the performance of a plant's sludge dewatering process by using Omron CP1E Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) to increase the efficiency of the process which leads to a reduction in cost of the polymer product. The process requires manually mixing the cationic polymer long chains with raw water to produce a product that will be sent to the sludge tank process and filter press process where the sludge will harden for disposal. The addition of PLC into the process will reduce error caused by human. The Omron PLC will control the water intake inlet and pump for polymer needed to be mixed by measuring the level of water inside the tank using the sensor to control amount of water and polymer. The project works on upgrading an established system that uses manual mix method to automated method that will produce more accurate concentration of polymer without any human error.
Crystal and molecular structure and ion selective and complexing properties of 1,5-bis[2-(dioxyphosphoryl-4-methoxy)phenoxy]-3-oxapentane dihydrate [(OH)2(O)P(C6H3OCH3)(OCH2CH2)2 O(C6H4OCH3)P(O)(OH)2] · 2H2O

Ion selective and complexing properties of 1,5-bis[2-(dioxyphosphoryl-4-methoxy)phenoxy]-3-oxapentane dihydrate H4M2 · 2H2O (I) were described. X-ray diffraction analysis for compound I was performed. The crystals are orthorhombic, a = 7.9818(16) A, b = 30.553(6) A, c = 9.0559(17) A, V = 2208.5(8) A3, Z = 4, space group Pnma, R = 0.0500 over 1372 reflections with I > 2σ(I). In I, the H4M2 molecules are combined by hydrogen bonds (HB) with two crystallographically independent H2O(7) and H2O(8) molecules to give neutral H4M2 · 2H2O aggregates. The HB between the phosphoryl and hydroxyl oxygen atoms of the aggregates and the donor O(7)-H…O(8) HB give rise to a layered structure. Conclusions about the Cu(H2M2) compound structure were drawn based on the X-ray diffraction, DTA, and vibrational spectroscopy data.
A revised energy partitioning approach to assess the yields of non-photochemical quenching components

Non-photochemical quenching (NPQ) is a complex and still unclear mechanism essential for higher plants. The intensive research on this subject has highlighted three main components of NPQ: energy-dependent process (qE); state transitions to balance the excitation of PSII and PSI (qT); and photoinhibitory processes (qI). Recently, these components have been resolved as quantum yields according to the energy partitioning approach that takes into account the rate constants of every process involved in the quenching mechanisms of excited chlorophylls. In this study a fully extended quantum yield approach and the introduction of novel equations to assess the yields of each NPQ component are presented. Furthermore, a complete analysis of the yield of NPQ in Beta vulgaris exposed to different irradiances has been carried out. In agreement with experimental results here it is shown that the previous approach may amplify the yield of qE component and flatten the quantitative results of fluorescence analysis. Moreover, the significance of taking into account the physiological variability of NPQ for a correct assessment of energy partitioning is demonstrated.
Specialized help from be my eyes – harnessing technology to connect companies directly with their blind and visually impaired users

For the 25 million blind and visually impaired people within the EU, simple everyday tasks, present a daunting challenge that can leave them dependent on the help of relatives and carers and there is a very narrow set of options focused at facilitating their daily lives. This challenge is exacerbated by the small number of companies who adapt their services to the needs of blind and visually impaired users compared to the rest of their customers. 
Specialized Help from Be My Eyes will build on our existing award-winning digital crowdsourcing app ‘Be My Eyes’ to connect our existing visually impaired user base of 100,000 individuals to customer support functions in subscribing companies. Be My Eyes is in the unique position of being able to provide both the technology and the users to companies who subscribe to our service allowing them to service the visually impaired community, improve their CSR and accessibility agendas and gain relevant product feedback through a single, integrated user platform. 
Specialised Help will be developed to a fully commercialised product meeting the customer needs as determined by a SME Instrument Phase 1 Feasibility Study. 
We estimate that within 5 years of product launch we will have sold 185 Specialized Help licenses achieving revenues of €54.3m. We will have hired 30 additional new employees and will control 4.7% of the European market. The return on the project investment in the third year of commercialisation would be 16.98.

Productivity, ownership, and producer concentration in transition: Further evidence from Vietnamese manufacturing

► MNC joint ventures and SOEs were often more productive than private firms. ► Wholly foreign-MNC-to-private productivity differentials were often insignificant. ► Productivity effects of concentration were often insignificant. ► Productivity spillovers from MNCs or SOEs to private firms were often insignificant. ► Estimates varied substantially among industries and time periods. After controlling for firm-level factor intensities and scale, and industry-level concentration, total factor productivity differentials between MNC (multinational corporation) joint ventures or SOEs (state-owned enterprises) and private firms were usually positive and statistically significant in 2001–2006. Differentials between wholly foreign MNCs and private firms were usually positive and significant in a lagged specification but not in a contemporaneous one. Estimates of productivity spillovers from SOEs and MNCs to private firms and the productivity effects of concentration tended to be insignificant statistically. Substantial variation of estimates among industries and time periods suggests that combining heterogeneous industries or time periods biases productivity estimates.
Reviving ghosts of taxonomy past: identifying cryptic species using high-throughput sequencing of historical museum specimens for asian ranids with gastromyzophorous tadpoles

My postdoctoral study is designed to develop protocols and procedures to obtain genomic DNA data from degraded old museum specimens using HTS (e.g., exome-capture and/ or mtDNA genome sequencing) using SE Asian frogs as focal taxa. Specimens housed in natural history museums are essential raw materials for studies of cryptic speciation that is very common in the tropics. These studies require molecular genetic tools that, to date, could only be applied to freshly collected tissue samples. Because HTS is based on short-fragment sequencing technology, it is more effective at obtaining sequence data from historical specimens than Sanger sequencing, particularly for very old samples collected more than 100 years ago. HTS methods will be tested to assess the phylogenetic and taxonomic position of the Asian ranid frogs with gastromyzophorous tadpoles, a group that has defied taxonomic clarification for decades. This proposed study is well aligned to the Work Programme of Horizon 2020 Marie Sklodowska-Curie Actions. The results of this study will be a valuable baseline to assess the feasibility of and to improve exome-capture techniques aimed at retrieving historical DNA from type specimens for future studies. This study will be the first to investigate the evolution of gastromyzophory in Asian ranid frogs. It will also emphasize the need to apply modern techniques in tropical countries with high biodiversity as a critical step in quantifying its diversity and developing conservation actions for cryptic species. Apart from that, this study is an exceptional step towards advancing my career and establish myself as an independent researcher in the field of phylogenetics systematics. Furthermore, I will be able to actively contribute to disseminate my science to broader audience and play an important role as a catalyst for a long term collaborations between the institutions in Germany, USA, and Indonesia in phylogenomic, systematics, and biogeographic studies.
CRIMES AO NORTE: OS ÉGUAS E A TRADIÇÃO DO ROMANCE POLICIAL

O presente estudo tem por objetivo analisar o romance Os éguas, do escritor paraense Edyr Augusto (1998). Parte-se da hipótese segundo a qual o autor não apenas dialoga com a tradição do romance policial em sua diversidade, como também, ao ambientar a narrativa na Amazônia, subverte certa representação/concepção da região amazônica, que a toma como espaço “só natureza”. Tendo isto em vista, recupera a discussão sobre o gênero em sua matriz européia forjada no século XIX e seus desdobramentos com o triller ou hard boiled americano no século XX para, em seguida, analisar o romance se atendo aos três pilares que constituem a narrativa policial: o detetive, o criminoso e os crimes. A análise demonstra que o romance, ambientado na cidade de Belém e em Salinas, mantém o foco no processo investigativo e no desvendamento do enigma, trazendo para o centro da cena uma diversidade de crimes e criminosos, de forma a representar certas dinâmicas sociais até então pouco exploradas nos exemplares de prosa de ficção que tiveram a Amazônia como cenário de suas intrigas. Contrabando, tráfico de drogas e aliciamento de menores para a prostituição constituem o rol de crimes que se desvenda aos olhos do leitor, sem que se perceba a possibilidade de punição e reconciliação com a ordem social.
Symmetry-adapted Wannier functions in the maximal localization procedure

A procedure to construct symmetry-adapted Wannier functions in the framework of the maximally-localized Wannier function approach[Marzari and Vanderbilt, Phys. Rev. B \textbf{56}, 12847 (1997); Souza, Marzari, and Vanderbilt, \textit{ibid.} \textbf{65}, 035109 (2001)] is presented. In this scheme the minimization of the spread functional of the Wannier functions is performed with constraints that are derived from symmetry properties of the specified set of the Wannier functions and the Bloch functions used to construct them, therefore one can obtain a solution that does not necessarily yield the global minimum of the spread functional. As a test of this approach, results of atom-centered Wannier functions for GaAs and Cu are presented.
PAPER-BINDER AND ACCESSORIES THEREFOR

It is well known that paper-binders, which are not entirely full, are difficult or impossible to pile in lying positions, and in standing positions they can easily tip over, this being inconvenient in many situations. With the invention this is counteracted by the paper-binder being equipped with spacer means (8, 10, 12) between the opposed front and rear sides in such a manner that these can be swung together no further than to respective positions, in which they are mutually parallel. It is particularly advantageous when the spacer means are arranged as respective upper and lower cross wall portions (8, 10) in the binder. The spacer means or such cross walls may be provided integrally with the binder or on a loose plate member (4), which, as an accessory unit (2), may be inserted as the rearmost page in a conventional paper-binder.
Herpes simplex virus type 1 is the main cause of genital herpes in women of Natal, Brazil

The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 in sexually active women who participated in the cervical cancer screening program in Natal, Brazil.The study included 261 sexually active women resident in the metropolitan area of Natal, Brazil and attending a public clinic for cervical screening. From each participant, a sample of exfoliated uterine cervical cells was collected, using a cytobrush which was conditioned in a tube containing a preserving solution (PBS+vancomycin+nystatin) and sent to a laboratory where it was processed for DNA extraction. The samples were analyzed for the presence of HSV-1 and HSV-2 DNA in separate reactions by PCRs using specific primers.HSV-1 in genital infection is four times more prevalent than HSV-2 in the population analyzed. The highest prevalence rates for both viruses were found in women aged 31-39years. We did not observe any association between the presence of both virus serotypes and socio-demographic characteristics in the population studied, nor with some classical risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases.HSV-1 was the major cause of genital infection by Herpes simplex virus in the women included in this study. No association was found between HSV infection and the socio-demographic characteristics or some classical risk factors for sexually transmitted diseases.
Transnational pArks aNd Gardens Resources in Adriatic and ionian tourist Marketplace

ADRION area represents one of the richest regions in Europe in terms of cultural diversity with distinct traditions, languages, religions and architectural monuments ranging from antiquity to modern times. Nevertheless the level of conditions, accessibility and presentation of cultural and landscape sites varies significantly among countries and in particular the parks accessibility. 

TANGRAM project will provide the inputs an solutions in order to develop the optimal framework for coordination of such actions and support the development of transnational strategies for jointly promoting the AI parks and gardens areas as a tourist destination thanks to the development of TANGRAM Transnational network developed in synergy with a benchmarking activity of the best practices in the area. Initiatives for urban regeneration do not complement each other and do not follow always an integrated approach but they will be included in local action plans and in the Transnational Action Plan identifying common actions.

TANGRAM supports a sustainable tourism model though the valorisation and promotion of parks and gardens, networked with major cultural and natural resources of the AI region, on the basis of jointly developed methodological tools and a new governance system based on participative approach.

A different set of offer tourism product, based on a unique and innovative transnational model, will enrich ADRION tourist offer and facilitate tourism flows especially during medium seasons, stimulate the SMEs competitiveness, improve public and private transnational cooperation among actors along the tourism value chain and help improve the living conditions of the local population tested with pilot actions. Overall objective is to build and promote ADRION brand name in tourism by promoting a sustainable valorisation and integration into the tourism offer the parks and gardens as hidden resources by an innovative governance system based on the collaboration between stakeholders.
A note on transfers from LEOs to GEOs visiting libration points of the Sun–Earth CRTBP

Abstract The objective of this work is to explore the use the invariant manifold dynamics of the Circular Restricted Three Body Problem to construct transfer trajectories from a Low Earth Orbit (LEO) to a Geostationary Earth Orbit (GEO). The underlying idea is to determine orbits that shadow the stable and unstable manifolds of the central manifold of the collinear libration points of the Sun–Earth system, and connect both kinds of orbits around the Earth. The resulting transfer orbits have two legs connected at the libration point region. After a first maneuver performed in the LEO ( Δ v ≈ 3.1 km / s ) the spacecraft reaches the neighborhood of the equilibrium point, L 1 or L 2 , driven by the stable manifold of the central manifold of the point. With a small impulse ( Δ v ≈ 100 m / s ), the spacecraft is transferred back to a GEO shadowing an orbit of the unstable manifold of a libration point orbit. Once the GEO is reached, an insertion manoeuvre must be done ( Δ v ≈ 1.2 km / s ). In the paper the total Δ v , together with the total time of flight, are computed considering initial LEOs with different altitudes and several inclinations and final GEOs with inclinations of ± 5 ° around the equator.
