Highly sensitive Fe3O4 nanobeads/graphene-based molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor for 17β-estradiol in water

A novel molecularly imprinted electrochemical sensor based on Fe3O4 nanobeads immobilized on graphene (Fe3O4-MIP@RGO) has been developed for detecting 17β-estradiol (17β-E2) in water using reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) polymerization technique. 17β-E2 can be detected by this electrochemical sensor through the response current change before and after binding 17β-E2. The Fe3O4-MIP@RGO-based sensor amplifies the response current in differential pulse voltammetry measurement, allowing the detection limit reaching 0.819 nM in a wide linear range from 0.05 to 10 μM. Moreover, Fe3O4-MIP@RGO-based sensor exhibits high selectivity and sensitivity towards 17β-E2. This MIP electrochemical sensor has a promising potential in the detection of 17β-E2 in water.
Ekonomska suradnja EU i Kine - učinci i perspektive

This research paper analyzes the effects of economic cooperation between the European Union and China on the growth and development of European industry, foreign trade and EU's better position on the global market. The purpose of the research is to identify the effects of developing and strengthening EU-China trade relations on various aspects of their industries and trade, while the aim of the research is to identify the specific trade and industrial policies of the EU and China, to outline the key stages in the development of their cooperation and to identify their development prospects. The European Economic Community (EEC), the predecessor of the European Union, and China established diplomatic relations in 1975 and today they are important actors in the multipolar world, sharing the responsibility to promote peace, prosperity and sustainable development for the benefit of all. Growth in Chinese consumption, especially in services, has the potential to create new markets for European businesses, while the increase in Chinese investment in the EU, also provides Chinese companies with a platform to improve their global competitiveness. However, many European companies see Chinese businesses as sources of unfair competition, both in the European Union and Chinese markets. Chinese companies, on the other hand, are concerned that the European Union may impose political measures against them, such as anti-dumping and direct customs duties, which China considers unfair. Also, China is currently in the midst of a complex economic transition. The ongoing structual changes in Chinese economy and slower growth rates are creating new challenges for both European and Chinese companies. This turbulent relations, which appeared between EU and China, is where the problem of the research arises. Significant differences between the political and economic systems of the European Union and China contribute to the challenges of deepening their bilateral economic ties. Given the combination of challenges and opportunities, it is important for the leaders of the European Union and China to pay more attention to their bilateral strategy, because given the importance of both world economies, deepening economic ties between the European Union and China will bring mutual benefits and move towards strengthening the global economy and global governance improvements.

Just-In-Time self-verification of autonomous systems

Engineers and computer scientists are currently developing autonomous systems whose entire set of behaviors in future, untested situations is unknown: How can a designer foresee all situations that an autonomous road vehicle, a robot in a human environment, an agricultural robot, or an unmanned aerial vehicle will face? Keeping in mind that all these examples are safety-critical, it is irresponsible to deploy such systems without testing all possible situations---this, however, seems impossible since even the most important possible situations are unmanageably many. I propose a paradigm shift that will make it possible to guarantee safety in unforeseeable situations: Instead of verifying the correctness of a system before deployment, I propose just-in-time verification, a new, to-be-developed verification paradigm where a system continuously checks the correctness of its next action by itself in its current environment (and only in it) in a just-in-time manner. Since future autonomous systems will have a tight interconnection of discrete computing and continuous physical elements, also known as cyber-physical systems, I will develop just-in-time verification for this system class. In order to prove correct behavior of cyber-physical systems, I will develop new formal verification techniques that efficiently compute possible future behaviors---subject to uncertain initial states, inputs, and parameters---within a small time horizon. Just-in-time verification will substantially cut development costs, increase the autonomy of systems (e.g., the range of deployment of automated driving systems), and reduce or even eliminate certain liability claims. The results will be implemented in an open-source software framework and will be primarily demonstrated for automated driving. Successful development of just-in-time verification techniques is yet more challenging than offline verification of autonomous systems, but expected to bring even greater rewards.
Unraveling the molecular network that drives cell growth in plants

Plants differ strikingly from animals by the almost total absence of cell migration in their development. Plants build their bodies using a hydrostatic skeleton that consists of pressurized cells encased by a cell wall. Consequently, plant cells cannot migrate and must sculpture their bodies by orientation of cell division and precise regulation of cell growth. Cell growth depends on the balance between internal cell pressure – turgor, and strength of the cell wall. Cell growth is under a strict developmental control, which is exemplified in the Arabidopsis thaliana root tip, where massive cell elongation occurs in a defined spatio-temporal developmental window. Despite the immobility of their cells, plant organs move to optimize light and nutrient acquisition and to orient their bodies along the gravity vector. These movements depend on differential regulation of cell elongation across the organ, and on response to the phytohormone auxin. Even though the control of cell growth is in the epicenter of plant development, protein networks steering the developmental growth onset, coordination and termination remain elusive. Similarly, although auxin is the central regulator of growth, the molecular mechanism of its effect on root growth is unknown. In this project, I will establish a unique microscopy setup for high spatio-temporal resolution live-cell imaging equipped with a microfluidic lab-on-chip platform optimized for growing roots, to enable analysis and manipulation of root growth physiology. I will use developmental gradients in the root to discover genes that steer cellular growth, by correlating transcriptome profiles of individual cell types with the cell size. In parallel, I will exploit the auxin effect on root to unravel molecular mechanisms that control cell elongation. Finally, I am going to combine the live-cell imaging methodology with the gene discovery approaches to chart a dynamic spatio-temporal physiological map of a growing Arabidopsis root.

INFORMATION AND ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS

Systems (34) which have an integrated unit that allows both television signals and information retrieved from an onboard information storage device (32) to be presented in a visual, audio or video/audio learn-while-doing form via output devices such as television screens and audio speakers. The operating mode - television or stored information retrieval and display - is selected by the user. The user is coached through steps leading to retrieval and presentation of the wanted information if the information retrieval mode is selected. To this end, the data storage devices are encoded with data corresponding to: (a) information for coaching a user in accomplishing one or more steps of a specified task in learn-then-perform way, and (b) an instruction set which enables the user access to access the information on a user-selected step of the task. Methods for providing the encoded data storage devices and for employing those devices in the operation of the systems are also described. A novel remote control (36) allows the system user to choose the mode of operation and to navigate the steps needed to reach the wanted information from a location convenient to the user.

ADRIPASS – Integrating multimodal connections in the Adriatic-Ionian region

One of the main reasons that hamper the growth and the economic development of transport sector in ADRION region is lack of efficient maritime - hinterland connections, mainly caused by the existence of various bottlenecks at border level._x000D_
ADRIPASS will tackle this problem by (1) analyzing physical and non-physical bottlenecks on the Trans European Transport Networks (TEN-T) corridor sections of the ADRION region, with a specific focus on those recently extended to the Western Balcans, where most Border Crossing Points (BCPs) are located and (2) by testing specific Information and Communication Technology solutions for streamlining freight transport in ADRION ports, setting standards which may be replicated to Electronic Data Interchange interfaces at BCPs._x000D_
ADRION region will therefore benefit from the results of the above-mentioned activities thanks to the replicability of concrete project tools as the transnational action plan for transport facilitation in the Adriatic-ionian region and the Information and Communication Technology action plan for improving multimodal transport in ADRION regions._x000D_
Setting up an enduring multilevel and multidisciplinary transnational cooperation network (3), simultaneously and innovatively combining a bottom-up and top-down approach at BCPs, will then guarantee an important impact on the relevant area._x000D_
Through the results of ADRIPASS project, and in particular through the ADRIPASS strategy for the enhancement of multimodal transport efficiency and competitiveness, planning capacities of transport stakeholders (port terminal/logistic operators, freight forwarders, railway companies) and national and European policymakers (Ministries of Transport, European Commission, TEN-T Corridor coordinators) will be significantly improved, since all of them are facing the same challenges concerning the multimodal transport accessibility and network efficiency on the TEN-T Corridor sections in the ADRION region (from the port to the hinterland)._x000D_
Thanks to ADRIPASS project and results the entire process of regional transport planning will be strongly supported and complemented thus allowing an harmonization with EU transport policy in the relevant area.
Institutions and society: towards a critical theory of economic institutions

The global financial crisis of 2007-2008 that was followed by The Great Recession and European sovereign debt crisis caused the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression in 1930s. In Europe, the economic crisis developed into a serious political challenge to the (economic) institutions of monetary union and the existing institutional framework of the European Union as well. The future of the institutional framework of the EU will vastly depend upon a comprehensive theoretical and interdisciplinary assessment. Although academic study of the subject of (social) institutions is on the rise in ethics, sociology and politics, it remains unjustifiably underdeveloped in economics. The proposed study investigates the possibility of devising a critical theory of institutions in general, and of economic institutions in particular. It expounds critical contributions to the understanding of economic institutions from a variety of disciplinary fields and it contributes to the establishment of a multidisciplinary account of social validity, economic function, ethical normativity, and political foundation. Additionally, it would represent a landmark study in critical theories of economic institutions – filling a definite gap in the literature, offering a first dedicated and exclusive delineation of a critical theory of economic institutions. Finally, it would act as an instructive case study, offering an indispensable resource for scholars of economic institutions, and provide a robust analytical framework for the assessment of raison d’etre of institutions and institutional reform. With an eye to project's overall success, the study will be conducted at an academic environment of leading experts on critique of political economy and critical theory. Hence, it will endow the fellow with ground-breaking expertise in agenda-setting and action-oriented research, strengthen the academic and interdisciplinary prowess and open the path to independent and further research.
Modelling the physiological strain and physical burden of chemical protective coveralls

This study determined the impact of selected chemical protective coveralls (CPC) on physiological responses and comfort sensations. Fifteen males exercised at approximately 6 METS in three CPC (Tyvek®, Gulf and Tychem®) and a control garment. Physiological strain was characterised by core and skin temperatures, heart rate, V̇O2, perceived exertion, hotness and wetness. Physical burden was characterised by restriction to movement, V̇O2 and RPE. The highest levels of physiological strain and physical burden were found in Tychem®, and the lowest in control. Seven statistical regression models were developed through correlation and multiple regression analyses between the human responses and the results from previously conducted fabric and garment property testing. These models showed that physical burden was increased by adding weight and/or restricting movement. Oxygen consumption was best predicted by clothing weight and fabric bending hysteresis. Fabric evaporative resistance and thickness were the two best predictors of physiological and perceptual responses. Practitioner Summary: Traditional evaluation of chemical protective coveralls (CPC) involves testing at the fabric and garment levels and rarely is based on human trials. This study integrates information from fabric, garment and human trials to better understand physiological strain and physical comfort during prolonged exercise in CPC.
Is Bounded Rationality in Entry Decisions Necessarily Bad for Social Welfare?

In the article Boundedly Rational Entrepreneurs and Antitrust, Professor Tor provides an excellent overview of the effects of bounded rationality on the behavior of entrepreneurs in the marketplace. In this short note, I offer some observations on the article. In particular, it suggests several additional parameters that might be worth exploring before we can reach a conclusion about the role that bounded rationality plays in economically irrational entry decisions. It also suggests some factors that should be weighed before determining whether irrational entry is socially harmful. Finally, the note provides several observations with regard to regulation, including the effects of algorithmic applications on bounded rationality decisions by entrepreneurs.
Meteorological Radars Union

The project's aim is to harmonize the measurement systems of violent storms and rains on the involved territories, and to establish a cross-border management of the alert-system for operators (civil protection, firefighters, etc) and populations. The real-time diffusion of information through different media (web, app), thanks to shared systems of monitoring and data convergence and calculations, represents a strong added value from a cross-border civil protection point of view. Moreover, thanks to awareness raising campaigns, populations will be able to apply by themselves some life-saving operations.

Structure dynamics control approach to supply chain planning and adaptation

Many of the existing methods and models of supply chain planning and control consider only one supply chain structure and assume it's more or less static in nature. In practice, supply chains have a multi-structural semantics and those multiple interrelated structures (organisational, functional, informational, financial, topological, technological, product, and energy structures) are dynamic and subject to many planned and disturbance-based changes. These changes are tackled by control activities which make planning an adaptive process. Although the supply chain optimal planning domain for static structures has been extensively investigated, the domain of planning and control of supply chains with structure dynamics merits more systematic and critical attention. In this study, an original form of supply chain representation as a dynamic system with changing multi-structural characteristics is developed. The structure dynamics control is a dynamic interpretation of the supply chain (re)synthesis process a...
A novel approach to measuring the frictional behaviour of human skin in vivo

Abstract Friction involving human skin plays a key role in human life. The availability of a portable tribometer improves the accessibility to large number of both subjects and anatomical sites. This is the first mobile device suitable to measure skin friction with a controlled and variable normal load (range 0.5–2 N) and velocity (range 1–10 mm/s) of a material of choice making a sliding rotational movement over the skin. The results of a pilot study, using stainless steel samples on the ventral forearm compare to results in the literature. The new device can be used for more extensive research to found these results and determine the effects of normal load or sliding velocity on the skin's frictional behaviour.
