Science together

The objective of NET 2021 is the consolidation and widening of the ScieNcE Together NETwork, which was launched in 2020 by a group public Italian research and academic institutions to build a stable and emphatic dialogue among researchers, citizens and society at large. This years' theme will be climate change and environmental degradation but we are aware that in 2021 the pandemic impacts will still be felt, so to achieve our objective we need to develop a communication approach that both takes into account the pandemic narrative and counterbalance it.  We'll engage our public with inspiring examples of research, a positive narrative that should involve them in the discussion and offset helpless feelings caused by covid-19.We aim to make people aware that sustainable growth is deeply dependant on society's response to the climate and environmental challenges and we will keep the debate alive providing correct scientific facts and involving the public in the fight against fake news through rigor and scientific credibility. Our activity programme will integrate the traditional in presence experience with online resources and virtual experiences, so to help us reach every citizens, regardless of age, gender, or education. Activities will be designed to specifically inform about the European research's contribution to turning climate and environmental challenges into opportunities and favour a better understanding of the Union. Other novelty will be an extended programme for schools aimed at reducing the stereotypes about researchers and their profession and promoting scientific careers among young students, and a pilot training activity for journalists.NET project will take place in 18 italian cities (from North to South): Venezia, Chioggia, Livorno, La Spezia, Camugnano, Ozzano-Emilia, Roma, Monte Porzio Catone, Viterbo, Rieti, Civitavecchia, Tarquinia, Frascati, Rocca di Papa, Portici, Rotondella, Milazzo, Grottaminarda and in Vulcano and Stromboli Aeolianan Islands
TransAlpine Bio Cluster

The ALPS Bio Cluster will establish a transnational cluster network in the biotech and medtech sector by involving actors from 6 alpine regions in research, training and industry, especially small and medium-sized companies, in order to boost joint economic development by reaching a critical mass of key players. The envisaged transnational cluster builds on strong regional cluster structures and will improve innovation capabilities and deepen collaboration by implementing two thematic and sustainable
networks: one on “Autonomy and healthcare” and one on “New diagnosis and therapies” with the two cross-sectoral approaches of linking green and red biotech with environmental health on one side and on bridging ICT and medical devices with healthcare at home on the other side. A "Healthy life at home in the Alps in a natural environment worth to be preserved" will be promoted through marketing of the Alpine brand.
Europe'S reception of the irish melodies and national airs: thomas moore in europe

ERIN offers a network analysis, investigating the cultural articulation of national identity in 19th-century Europe as found in the musical works of Irish poet-songwriter Thomas Moore. He created two European song series, the Irish Melodies and National Airs, of global circulation; these inspired arrangements by European composers. His epic poem Lalla Rookh inspired operas and ballets. ERIN is the first systematic study of this cultural network, and innovative in considering the temporal and spatial aspects of networking. ERIN contributes to the knowledge-based economy and society through accessible research outputs designed to engage the European public: an online forum, a podcast, a radio show, an interactive online exhibit, a database, an edited book. ERIN's research foundation is the substantial Moore collection at host Queen's;  a database of its and other's Moore holdings becomes a dataset to be mined for the remaining outputs. The researcher will establish a network between herself, Queen's and selected European libraries in the process of preparing the database and the online exhibition. The researcher  acquires skills that enhance her intersectoral mobility within Europe by observing a carefully-chosen training programme at Queen's that will also benefit ERIN's project outcomes. This training will also prepare her for an intended media secondment. By leading ERIN, the researcher will gain  project management skills and gain valuable intersectoral contacts. Through leadership, networking, and training, the researcher will be involved in knowledge transfer. She will build on her existing experience as a contributor to several significant bibliographical and historiographical projects; the MSC fellowship will enable her to assume a position of leadership in the scholarly community (or in the media) while enhancing her creativity. Queen's enjoys  ""HR Excellence in Research Status"" and offers the researcher a stimulating interdisciplinary research environment.
A general method for developing high-efficiency organic light-emitting diodes based on aie-active room-temperature phosphorescent polymers

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) as displays and luminaires have generated enormous attention because of their unique advantages compared to other lighting and display technologies. These include the capacity to fabricate ultra-thin, flexible and transparent devices that additionally have a much lower power consumption. Limited by the electron spin statistics, the maximum internal quantum efficiency (IQE) of conventional fluorescent OLEDs is only 25%. In contrast, thermally activated delayed fluorescence (TADF) can theoretically realize 100% IQE by recruiting triplet excitons and converting them into singlet excitons via reverse intersystem crossing. Most TADF materials must be doped into a rigid host matrix in order to suppress aggregation-caused quenching (ACQ) and other nonradiative processes. An alternative mechanism where 100% IQE can be realized is room temperature phosphorescence (RTP). This proposal targets the development of polymers that are both RTP and show aggregation induced emission (AIE). This permits these materials to be used as high-efficiency emitters in low-cost solution-processed OLEDs. Due to the synergistic effect of AIE, RTP, and polymer, high-efficiency RTP materials can be developed in the amorphous state, a previously undocumented advance in materials development. Through this research proposal, a general road map for simple and high-efficiency PLEDs will be constructed based on AIE-RTP polymers.
Surgical treatment of endometrial cancer in developing countries: reasons to consider systematic two-step surgical treatment

The aim of this study was to determine the lymph node status in a large cohort of women with endometrial cancer from the public health system who were referred to an oncology reference center in Brazil to identify candidates for the omission of lymphadenectomy based on clinicopathological parameters.We retrospectively analyzed a cohort of 310 women with endometrial cancer (255 endometrioid, 40 serous, and 15 clear cell tumors) treated between 2009 and 2014. We evaluated the histological type, grade (low vs. high), tumor size (cm), depth of myometrial invasion (≤50%, >50%) and lymphovascular space invasion to determine which factors were correlated with the presence of lymph node metastasis.The factors related to lymph node involvement were tumor size (p=0.03), myometrial invasion (p<0.01), tumor grade (p<0.01), and lymphovascular space invasion (p<0.01). The histological type was not associated with the nodal status (p=0.52). Only twelve of 176 patients (6.8%) had low-grade endometrioid carcinoma, tumor size ≤2 cm and <50% myometrial infiltration.The omission of lymphadenectomy based on the histological type, grade, tumor size and depth of myometrial invasion is not likely to have a large impact on the surgical treatment of endometrial cancer in our population because most patients present with large and advanced tumors. New strategies are proposed that prioritize hysterectomy performed in a general hospital as soon as possible after diagnosis, followed by an evaluation of the need for lymph node dissection at a reference center.

Laboratory experiments on magnetic phenomena in geo- and astrophysics

Cosmic magnetic fields, including those of planets, stars, and galaxies, are being generated by the homogenous dynamo effect in flowing electrically conducting fluids. Once produced, these fields may play an active role in cosmic structure formation by fostering angular momentum transport and mass accretion onto central objects, like protostars or black holes, by means of the magnetorotational instability (MRI). Complementary to the decades-long theoretical research into both effects, the last years have seen great progress in respective experimental investigations. The dynamo effect had been verified in three liquid sodium experiments in Riga, Karlsruhe and Cadarache. The helical and the azimuthal versions of the MRI, as well as the current-driven Tayler instability (TI), were demonstrated at Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden - Rossendorf (HZDR). Here, I propose to make three further breakthroughs in this research field. First, I plan to demonstrate dynamo action based on a precession driven flow of liquid sodium in a cylindrical vessel. Besides thermal and compositional buoyancy, precession has been discussed as a complementary power source of the dynamos of the Earth, the ancient Moon, and other cosmic bodies. A second experiment will deal with magnetically triggered flow instabilities of astrophysical importance, with the main focus on attaining standard MRI, and various combinations of MRI and TI. Both experiments will be carried out at the DRESDYN facility at HZDR which has been conceived by me and which will enter into operation in 2019. In contrast to these well-advanced experimental concepts, my third liquid sodium experiment, which aims at showing the magnetic destabilization of rotating flows with radially increasing angular velocity, still requires more numerical simulations and design engineering. Given the comparatively less demanding technical parameters of this set-up, I expect first experimental results within the funding period, too.

Closing unit for an injection molding machine

A closing unit for injection mold machines is disclosed which generally includes two end plates, guide crosspieces connecting the end plates at a distance from one another, an intermediate plate which is parallel to the end plates and displaceable longitudinally relative to the guide crosspieces and moving cylinders which abut an end plate and act at the intermediate plate via their piston rods. The moving cylinders also displace the intermediate plate along the guide crosspiece in the closing and opening direction to vary its distance from the other end plate. The intermediate plate and the other end plate form a gripping plate for the two mold halves of a form tool which is brought into its closing position by the two gripping plates. Increased closing force may be applied to the form tool at a central die via a pressure cushion insertable between one end plate and the intermediate plate.
Architecture and Life History of Female Germ-Line Cysts in Clitellate Annelids

Animal female and male germ-line cells often form syncytial units termed cysts, clusters, or clones. Within these cysts, the cells remain interconnected by specific cell junctions known as intercellular bridges or ring canals, which enable cytoplasm to be shared and macromolecules and organelles to be exchanged between cells. Numerous analyses have shown that the spatial organization of cysts and their functioning may differ between the sexes and taxa. The vast majority of our knowledge about the formation and functioning of germ-line cysts comes from studies of model species (mainly Drosophila melanogaster); the other systems of the cyst organization and functioning are much less known and are sometimes overlooked. Here, we present the current state of the knowledge of female germ-line cysts in clitellate annelids (Clitellata), which is a monophyletic taxon of segmented worms (Annelida). The organization of germ-line cysts in clitellates differs markedly from that of the fruit fly and vertebrates. In Clitellata, germ cells are not directly connected one to another, but, as a rule, each cell has one ring canal that connects it to an anuclear central cytoplasmic core, a cytophore. Thus, this pattern of cell distribution is similar to the germ-line cysts of Caenorhabditis elegans. The last decade of studies has revealed that although clitellate female germ-line cysts have a strong morphological plasticity, e.g., cysts may contain from 16 to as many as 2500 cells, the oogenesis always shows a meroistic mode, i.e., the interconnected cells take on different fates; a few (sometimes only one) become oocytes, whereas the rest play the role of supporting (nurse) cells and do not continue oogenesis.This is the first comprehensive summary of the current knowledge on the organization and functioning of female germ-line cysts in clitellate annelids.
Advanced nanomembranes for exact polymer production

The production of synthetic polymers with precisely defined monomer sequences – exact polymers, which I call “exactymers” – is highly challenging. Iterative synthesis, in which specific monomers are added one-at-a-time to the end of a growing polymer chain, affords exquisite control over the final sequence, but requires accurate purification of the growing polymer with each and every cycle. EXACTYMER will create new super-stable, ultra-selective nanomembranes, with high permeances, enabling rapid, repeated purifications, which will transform exactymer fabrication. Multiple growing polymer chains will be attached to a central hub molecule to create a macromolecular homostar with enhanced molecular size, promoting accurate separation of the growing exactymer from reaction debris via nanomembrane processing. Automation and engineering will enable rapid, accurate and precise cycles of exactymer chain growth. EXACTYMER objectives will be achieved through curiosity-driven research into (1) the creation of nanomembranes with exquisite molecular selectivity between growing homostars and monomer plus reaction debris; (2) advancing the chemistry of iterative synthesis by creating strategies for step-wise growth of polyethers, polysiloxanes, and polyesters, and side chain functionalised monomers of these species; (3) combining iterative chemistry and nanomembranes together in an automated homostar nanofiltration platform, and; (4) exploring the use of exactymers in healthcare, nanotechnology and information storage. EXACTYMER will undertake pioneering research at the boundaries of membrane technology, polymer synthesis, process engineering and nanotechnology. The most profound anticipated outcome is a new capability to produce synthetic polymers, over 20 monomers in length, with exactly defined monomer sequences to an unprecedented accuracy, at multi-gram scale. New scientific insights will derive from the properties and performances of these newly accessible molecules.
Climate change impact and vulnerability assessment of forests in the Indian Western Himalayan region: A case study of Himachal Pradesh, India

Climate change impact and vulnerability assessment at state and regional levels is necessary to develop adaptation strategies for forests in the biogeographically vital Himalayan region. The present study assesses forest ecosystem vulnerability to climate change across Himachal Pradesh and presents the priority districts for vulnerability reduction under ‘current climate’ and ‘future climate’ scenarios. Vulnerability of forests under ‘current climate’ scenario is assessed by adopting indicator-based approach, while the vulnerability under ‘future climate’ scenario is assessed using climate and vegetation impact models. Based on the vulnerability index estimated to present the vulnerability of forests under current and projected climate change impacts representing climate driven vulnerability, five districts – Chamba, Kangra, Kullu, Mandi and Shimla are identified as priority forest districts for adaptation planning. Identifying vulnerable forest districts and forests will help policy makers and forest managers to prioritize resource allocation and forest management interventions, to restore health and productivity of forests and to build long-term resilience to climate change.

Abstract 4779: HERV-K env plays important roles in cell proliferation, migration and tumor progression in melanoma.

Proceedings: AACR 104th Annual Meeting 2013; Apr 6-10, 2013; Washington, DC

Human endogenous retroviruses (HERVs) are remnants from ancient retroviral infections, and most of them are inactive in normal tissues. However, one family of HERV, HERV-K, is reportedly active in several cancers, including melanoma. Increased expression of HERV-K in melanoma cells correlates with malignant transformation, while a serological response to HERV-K in melanoma patients correlates with survival probability. The mechanism behind these observations remains obscure. Our group reported that anti-HEEV-K envelope (env) protein antibodies shows antitumor potential in targeting breast tumors, indicating that HERV-K env may play an important role in tumorigenesis. In this study, we produced a cell line derived from melanoma cell line A375, in which the expression of HERV-K env was stably knocked down by a lentivector based shRNA. Compared to the control cells, these cells exhibit lower proliferation/migration/invasion rates and lower tumorigenicity in vitro. In vivo, their tumorigenic potential was found to be reduced after inoculation into NOD/SCID gamma mice. Moreover, results of antibody array, RNAseq and Western blotting indicate that altered HERV-K env expression led to changes in expression of several proteins important in oncogenesis and metastasis. These results suggest that HERV-K env plays specific and important roles in melanoma carcinogenesis.
