Ultrasonic inspection solution for railway crossing points

The heart of the rail crossings points also known as “frogs”, are a mechanical installation that enable a train to switch from one track to another.Frogs are subjected to repetitive impact collisions from the rolling stock.Such actions cause fatigue cracking which compromise the structural integrity of these safety critical components.For this reason, the EU infrastructure employs manganese steel at safety critical locations such as crossing.
Railway sector involves companies that need to inspect railway crossing accurately and in time.SAFTInspect is the only solution that will warranty the total inspection of the “frog” and it will also monitor the evolution through time with a Data base (Big Data).
SAFTInspect is based on a Synthetic Aperture Focussing Technique (SAFT) that facilitates for the first time full volume inspection of railway crossings devices in order to detect flaws on critical parts reinforcing the railway safety regions.SAFTInspect system will improve levels of safety for the railway industry preventing train derailments.Rail operators, underground operators, rail maintenance service providers and manufacturers, will benefit from our SAFTInspect innovative device that will be used both in pre-service and in-service analysis:
Pre-service: SAFT Inspect will allow the manufacturer to control every asset produced and to offer a better service to its customers (100% of quality). No special infrastructure is required, no special skills from the user.
In-service:Full volumetric inspection is more effective (90%). We will reduce 85% the total time per inspection and 94% on savings from labour costs.
Cracks that occur during service will be detected at an early stage in their growth cycle.Therefore, we will eliminate the unnecessary cost of replacing frogs that are not damaged (savings around €1.89M per year). 
From a global perspective, avoiding unscheduled maintenance, rail operators will save up to €87.5M in penalties in Europe due to train derailments.
Community resilience, globalization, and transitional pathways of decision-making

Abstract This article investigates the impacts of globalization processes on community resilience. It argues that theoretical concepts such as transition theory can provide a lens through which resilience pathways at community level can be better understood, and proposes a framework focused on a social resilience approach for understanding community resilience as the conceptual space at the intersection between economic, social and environmental capital. It argues that certain types of communities are losing resilience through increased embeddedness into globalized pathways of decision-making, while other communities may be gaining resilience, although not one system is either totally resilient or totally vulnerable. Striking the right ‘balance’ between communities and their scalar interactions with the global level is key for maximization of community resilience: while too much isolation of a community may be bad in light of over-dependency on local resources, skills and people, ‘over-globalization’, with possible loss of autonomy and identity, may be equally fraught with problems. In particular, relocalized communities have, so far, not shown much tangible success, as almost all members of the relocalization process at community level are simultaneously embedded within the global capitalist system through their dependencies on global economic processes.
Efficacy and safety of thrombectomy in stroke with extended lesion and extended time window: a randomized, controlled trial

TENSION (efficacy and safety of ThrombEctomy iN Stroke with extended leSION and extended time window: a randomized, controlled trial) strives at providing innovative treatment to patients with severe stroke to reduce the individual and societal burden of death and dependency from stroke. To this end, TENSION is a randomized, controlled, prospective, open label, blinded endpoint (PROBE) trial of thrombectomy in stroke patients with extended ischemic stroke lesions and patients presenting in a late time window, who are currently excluded from available effective treatment approaches. The trial will enroll up to 714 subjects in eight European countries. The primary endpoint is functional outcome at 90 days post-stroke measured by the Modified Rankin Scale. The primary effectiveness endpoint analysis is a chi-square test of the difference in linear trends in ordinal mRS outcomes between treatment groups (“mRS shift analysis”). Outcome evaluation will involve a comprehensive array of clinical and safety parameters, health and socio-economic outcomes including patient reported outcome measures (PROM) for evaluation according to the principles of value-based healthcare. Health economic evaluation with cost-effectiveness analysis will be performed and gender-effects on treatment and outcome will be studied. Trial organization will rely on a network of experienced partners with successful cooperation in previous EU-funded stroke trials. An image core lab will provide central judgement of all images acquired within the trial. Standards of image judgement and intervention will be defined and trial specific training will be provided to all investigators. TENSION addresses a major health problem and will provide evidence for more effective and safer therapeutic intervention for patients with severe stroke resulting in improved guideline development, better individual patient outcomes and beneficial effects for the society at large by reduction of stroke-related costs.
O que sabemos sobre os tatus do Pantanal? Revisão do conhecimento sobre ecologia, biologia, morfologia, saúde, conservação, distribuição e métodos de estudo

Xenarthra contém duas ordens, seis famílias, 14 gêneros e 38 espécies viventes. A ordem Cingulata (tatus) representa 22 das espécies de xenartros e seis destas são encontradas no Pantanal (Dasypus novemcinctus, Cabassous tatouay, C. squamicaudis, Tolypeutes matacus, Euphractus sexcinctus e Priodontes maximus). Os tatus se diferem de outros mamíferos por terem uma carapaça formada por placas ósseas articuladas que, como um escudo, cobrem a cabeça e o dorso. Neste artigo, baseamo-nos em extensa revisão bibliográfica e décadas de trabalho realizado pelos autores para descrever o estado do conhecimento sobre ecologia, biologia, características morfológicas, saúde, estado de conservação e distribuição dos tatus no Pantanal. Visando dar subsídios a futuros trabalhos com as espécies, também descrevemos melhores práticas para a captura e o manejo (e.g., anestesia e coleta de material biológico) das espécies em campo. Apesar do recente aumento do número de estudos, ainda restam diversas lacunas de informação sobre a ecologia e a biologia da maioria das espécies de tatus do Pantanal. Sendo assim, esperamos que as informações e os métodos descritos aqui sirvam de estímulo e base para o desenvolvimento de novos estudos, que aumentem nosso conhecimento sobre estas espécies na região do Pantanal e permitam o planejamento de estratégias de conservação eficientes.

A solar energy collector (48) is associated with the housing (70) for collecting solar energy. A solar power storage device (42) is provided in the chamber (32) for receiving and storing solar energy (42) received from the solar energy collectors (40). An illuminator (48) for illuminating at least a portion of the upper surface (12) of the solar stepping stone (10) is contained in the chamber (32) and is powered by solar energy stored by the solar power member (42).
The role of extreme drought and legacy effects of long-term manipulation of water availability on growth and reproduction of scots pine reforest

Drought has been identified as an important driving factor for forest decline, hence the long-term tree-level growth assessment in relation to drought events is necessary to understanding resistance and resilience of forests. In addition, the seedling physiological responses (photosynthesis and respiration) to varying growing conditions are key to forecast the future composition of temperate forests in Europe. Younger stages of a tree’s life cycle are more sensitive to climate variations than the adult stage. Recent studies demonstrate the important role of transgenerational epigenetic effects for the adaptive capacity of a tree. Although the epigenetic control of gene expression during drought has been shown in trees at the molecular level, little is known at the physiological level. In this context, the overall objectives of this study are to quantify radial growth of Scots pine and oak along a latitudinal gradient from southern France to northern Germany with particular focus on the effects of extreme events, and to quantify the potential role of epigenetic effects on seed germination, seedling establishment and survival in variable growing conditions (temperature, light and water). The objective-1 will be based on annually resolved tree-ring data covering the entire gradient. The distinct role of epigenetic changes on seedling growth and survival (objective-2) will be accomplished applying transplanting experiments with seed from long-term irrigated trees (13 years) and trees growing under natural dry conditions, in the field and in the laboratories of WSL, Switzerland. The project will explore the adaptive strategies used by Scots pine trees to drought events, which will strengthen our understanding on the complex relations among climate and ecophysiological mechanisms, essentially benefiting the development of sustainable forest management strategies under climate change in Europe.
Distributed synthesis: from single to multiple agents

Computing is changing from living on our desktops and in dedicated devices to being everywhere. In phones, sensors, appliances, and robots – computers (from now on devices) are everywhere and affecting all aspects of our lives. The techniques to make them safe and reliable are investigated and are starting to emerge and consolidate. However, these techniques enable devices to work in isolation or co-exist. We currently do not have techniques that enable development of real autonomous collaboration between devices. Such techniques will revolutionize all usage of devices and, as consequence, our lives. Manufacturing, supply chain, transportation, infrastructures, and earth- and space exploration would all transform using techniques that enable development of collaborating devices. 
When considering isolated (and co-existing) devices, reactive synthesis – automatic production of plans from high level specification – is emerging as a viable tool for the development of robots and reactive software. This is especially important in the context of safety-critical systems, where assurances are required and systems need to have guarantees on performance. The techniques that are developed today to support robust, assured, reliable, and adaptive devices rely on a major change in focus of reactive synthesis. The revolution of correct-by-construction systems from specifications is occurring and is being pushed forward.
However, to take this approach forward to work also for real collaboration between devices the theoretical frameworks that will enable distributed synthesis are required. Such foundations will enable the correct-by-construction revolution to unleash its potential and allow a multiplicative increase of utility by cooperative computation. 
d-SynMA will take distributed synthesis to this new frontier by considering novel interaction and communication concepts that would create an adaptable framework of correct-by-construction application of collaborating devices.
Structure and Catalytic Properties of the SiO-H Groups on SBA-15 Molecular Sieve: A Density Functional Theory Study

A DFT study on the structural and catalytic properties of the SiO-H groups on SBA-15 molecular sieve was carried out.The geometry and IR spectra data calculated are identical to the experimental data.The electrostatic potential maps of the model clusters show that the H atoms of the single O-H groups on the surface of SBA-15 are the L acid sites and the O atoms of the hydrogen-bonded O-H groups are the B basic sites.The frontier molecular orbitals demonstrate that the hydroxyl groups on the surface of SBA-15 provide the oxidability.Further,the strength of the B acid on the surface of SBA-15 was discussed by means of the deprotonation energy and Mayer bond order.

A silver path to a new generation of quantum materials.

Silver(II) fluoride is a strongly correlated charge transfer insulator, with characteristics remarkably similar to those of parent high-temperature superconducting cuprates. AgF2 has the potential to be the basic building block to a new class of strongly correlated materials with fascinating properties. The purpose of SILVERPATH is to develop appropriate models to characterize and predict magnetic, metallic and superconducting properties by combining analytical and computational methods. In collaboration with leading chemistry and experimental groups silver fluorine based materials and heterostructures will be designed, possible routes to metallization explored, and their properties studied. The project will ensure large progress in understanding low-dimensional quantum magnetism and has great potential to contribute to the discovery of a new class of high-temperature superconductors. The project will give the ER the opportunity to follow all the processes in the construction of a theory for a quantum material, from the model building and parameter determination to the prediction of physical properties, putting her in a position of leadership in this class of correlated materials and ready to attack any new material in the field. Moreover, SILVERPATH will contribute to strengthen the transfer of knowledge between condensed matter physics and chemistry communities.
A METHOD OF REMANUFACTURING A PRECHAMBER ASSEMBLY

A method of remanufacturing a prechamber assembly includes determining a width W of an original circumferential weld bead (50) that extends around and joins a proximal end of an outer peripheral wall of a prechamber housing (30) and a distal end of an outer peripheral wall of a body assembly (20), cutting through the weld bead (50) in order to separate the prechamber housing (30) from the body assembly (20), and removing material from an outer peripheral portion of a distal end portion of the body assembly (20). The method includes removing the material in an axial direction parallel to the central axis of the prechamber assembly for a distance that is from 2.5 - 3 times the width W.

Duality in formal languages and logic - a unifying approach to complexity and semantics

Dualities between algebraic and topological structure are pervasive in mathematics, and toggling back and forth between them has often been associated with important breakthroughs. The main objective of this project is to bring this important tool to bear on a number of subjects in theoretical computer science thereby advancing, systematising, and unifying them.

One subject of focus is the search for robust extensions of the theory of regular languages. A powerful technical tool for classifying regular languages and proving decidability results is  Eilenberg-Reiterman theory, which assigns classes of finite monoids or single profinite algebras to classes of languages. Recent results by the PI and her co-authors show that the theory may be seen as a special case of Stone duality for Boolean algebras with operators. We want to:
- Develop an Eilenberg-Reiterman theory beyond regular languages with the goal of obtaining new tools and separation results for Boolean circuit classes, an active area in the search for lower bounds in complexity theory.
-Systematise and advance the search for robust generalisations of regularity to other structures such as infinite words, finite and infinite trees, cost functions, and words with data.

The second subject of focus is the development of duality theoretic methods for logics with categorical semantics. We want to approach the problem incrementally:
-  View duality for categorical semantics through a spectrum of intermediate cases going from regular languages over varying alphabets, Ghilardi-Zawadowski duality for finitely presented Heyting algebras, and the Bodirsky-Pinsker topological Birkhoff theorem to Makkai's, Awodey and Forssell's, and Coumans' recent work on first-order logic duality, thus unifying topics in semantics and formal languages.

Our main tools come from Stone duality in various forms including the Jonsson-Tarski canonical extensions and profinite algebra, and from universal algebra and category theory.
The first process to synthesize leather ‒ a fabric with the identical chemical composition and exact mechanical properties as leather

Leather is a highly sought-after product for its very specific look, touch, feel and durability properties. It is considered a premium material in the fashion, upholstery and automobile industries. The leather production market, with an estimated value of €100 billion is projected to grow by 6.2% to 2023.  Sadly, the leather industry is one of the most polluting, due to the hide and skin tanning processes (excess water use, chemical spills, millions of CO2 emissions, worker health problems, skin diseases, filthy working conditions especially for women). Sustainability in leather production is a must in this day and age when eco-labels are sought after by brands to stand out from the crowd, as consumers demand higher quality standards. Currently, the one and only way to produce real leather is by taking the skin from an animal. Yes, alternatives like PVC and plant-based products exist, but their composition and properties are nowhere near that of real leather. Hence, they can never be adequate substitutes. At Gelatex, we have developed a cutting-edge new method of synthesizing layers of collagen, made from gelatin, creating a fabric of unprecedented quality, chemically equivalent to leather. Gelatex is the first to deliver this new animal-like leather without the need for tanning. The material is designed and configured following the industry requirements on tensile strength, resistance (to tear, to flexing, to puncture), good heat insulation, water vapor permeability and comfort. Ours is a scalable and efficient process allowing for Gelatex to be sold below the cost of current leather. We will can sell our tailor-made leather in colors thicknesses and sizes desired by our customers (manufacturers of leather articles). We thus expect to achieve revenues of €10 million in just 3 years. As our production facilities expand alongside a possible licensing model, our tech has the potential to generate €2 billion in revenue in only 10 years.
