Localization of brain electrical activity sources and hemodynamic activity foci during motor imagery

Studied are sources of brain activity contributing to EEG patterns which correspond to motor imagery. The accuracy of their classification determines the efficiency of brain-computer interface (BCI) allowing for controlling external technical devices directly by brain signals without involving muscle activity. Sources of brain activity are identified by Independent Component Analysis. Those independent components for which the BCI classification accuracy are at maximum are treated as relevant for motor imagery task. Two of the most relevant sources demonstrate strictly exposed event related desynchronization and synchronization of mu--rhythm during imagery of contra--and ipsilateral hands. These sources are localized by solving inverse EEG problem taking into account individual geometry of brain and its covers provided by anatomical MRI images. The sources are shown to be localized in BA 3A relating to proprioceptive sensitivity of the contralateral hand. Their positions are closed to foci of BOLD activity obtained by fMRI.

The molecular mechanisms of sex determination in a malaria parasite

Sexual reproduction is an obligate stage in the complex life cycle of Plasmodium parasites, the causative agent of malaria. While cyclic asexual replication of the parasite in the vertebrate host is associated with all clinical symptoms of malaria, transmission of the disease to a new host relies on sexual reproduction of the parasite in the mosquito. Transmission and reproductive success depend on the ability of malaria parasites to produce fertile male and female gametes at an optimal ratio. Haploid malaria parasites lack sex chromosomes, and sex-ratio is an adaptive and changeable trait to optimize transmission success in response to varying conditions, including multiplicity of infection and immune status of the host. The molecular mechanisms of sexual development hold the key to new transmission blocking interventions and to a broader understanding of how life cycle decisions in an important group of parasites can be regulated. Recent breakthroughs have identified a master regulator for commitment to sexual development, but how one transcription factor can give rise to the completely different gene expression programs of male and female gametocytes has remained elusive. Successful reprogramming experiments and genetic screens in a rodent model have now led to the identification of a small panel of genes, mostly encoding putative nucleic acid binding proteins which I propose here will unlock the question of how sex ratio is determined. By applying a combination of targeted biochemical, cell biological and genetic techniques I aim to characterize the function of three strongly supported, male-determining candidate genes. The obtained results will provide insights into the molecular mechanisms facilitating sex, and thus transmission, of malaria parasites. Moreover, this study will elucidate the fascinating biology of sex determination in an ancient and divergent eukaryote lacking sex chromosomes.
Surface as practice

This chapter complements my investigation on textile culture; it draws together and builds on my research developed over the last five years, into the importance of haptic learning and its disappearance. In 2008 I organised the first two exhibitions of haptic design held in the UK. 'Haptic: awakening the senses' was shown at RIBA London (8.5.2008 - 7.6.2008) with an international conference (8.5.2008), and at the Lighthouse, Glasgow (18.6.2008 - 29.9.2008). The project originated through collaboration with the first designer to recognise the importance of the haptic in design processes: Kenya Hara, Design Director of MUJI and CEO of Hara Design, Tokyo. The exhibition featured an international cohort of designers who had each created work of haptic design for the exhibition. The second exhibition, 'Make-Do it Haptic', featured the Haptic dictionary created by Masayo Ave and was shown at The Gallery, UCA Epsom (3.4.2008 - 7.5.2008) accompanied by workshops with local, visually impaired participants.
A systematic review of short courses for nonspecialist education in intensive care

The availability of reliable and accessible educational material for the training of nonspecialist intensive care physicians is potentially advantageous. We assessed the availability, cost, and content of generic short courses designed to teach basic critical care skills to junior physicians or nonspecialist intensive care physicians taking up duties in intensive care units.A PubMed and Internet searches were conducted to identify and compare short courses that provide a curriculum similar to that proposed by the Society of Critical Care Medicine and the Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists for resident training purposes. Course material available should allow the short course to be conducted independently by third parties.Two courses, Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care and Fundamental Critical Care Support, met most of the Society of Critical Care Medicine and Australian and New Zealand College of Anaesthetists curriculum requirements and can be independently conducted by third parties.Both identified courses use a mixture self-learning, didactic lectures, and experiential learning using manikins and "minisimulations." Organizing bodies provide administrative support and can readily be located and contacted online. Basic Assessment and Support in Intensive Care charges no license fee, whereas Fundamental Critical Care Support offers fees at a reduced rate for developing countries. Both courses are recognized and conducted internationally.

A REVIEW OF TREE CONVEX SETS TEST

A collection of sets may have some interesting properties which help identify efficient algorithms for constraint satisfaction problems and combinatorial auction problems. One of the properties is tree convexity. A collection S of sets is tree convex if we can find a tree T whose nodes are the union of the sets of S and each set of S is the nodes of a subtree of T . This concept extends that of row convex sets each of which is an interval over a total ordering of the elements of the union of these sets. An interesting problem is to find efficient algorithms to test whether a collection of sets is tree convex. It is not known before if there exists a linear time algorithm for this test. In this paper, we review the materials that are the key to a linear algorithm: hypergraphs, a characterization of tree convex sets and the acyclic hypergraph test algorithm. Some typos in the original paper of the acyclicity test are corrected here. Some experiments show that the linear algorithm is significantly faster than a well-known existing algorithm. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

SUBSTRATE PROCESSING SYSTEM

A substrate processing system includes a primary processing assembly (500) and secondary processing assembly (510). The secondary processing assembly (510) has one or more interconnected modules (514, 516, 322, 502, 504, 524, 526, 540, 542) and includes one or more process stations (520, 530). The primary and secondary processing assemblies (500, 510) are connected by a vacuum conveyor, so that the substrates remain in vacuum during transport. The secondary processing assembly (510) may include one or more modules (514, 516, 322, 502, 504, 524, 526, 540, 542) which are interconnected to provide a desired system configuration. A dual processing module (520), including first and second process stations, is selectably operable in a serial mode or a parallel mode.
Adaptive dimensional control based on in-cycle geometry monitoring and programming for CNC turning center

This paper presents a method to compensate the dimensional deviation, irrespective of the sources for its components, and to integrate the dimensional verification and dimensional control processes. Nowadays, approach in compensation of dimensional deviation is based on decomposing the deviation. The decomposing criterion is the error source such as positioning errors, thermal deformation, mechanical loads, tool wear, kinematical errors, dynamic force, and motion control. Then, one or even more components are modeled and compensated. On contrary, the proposed method is based on the decomposing of the tool path and consideration of the batch samples. The decomposition criteria ignores the error sources as: (1) speed of variation in space of the total deviation value for the tool path decomposition and (2) the speed of variation in time of the deviation model parameters values for batch samples decomposition. The data from the geometry holistic monitoring are used for both modeling and compensation of systematic component of the total error, also for checking the compliance with technical requirements. Two algorithms for processing of the data provided by geometry monitoring, namely the adaptive–predictive algorithm and adaptive–optimal algorithm, are presented. Nine experimental batches were machined to verify the efficiency of the proposed method using various model structures and processing algorithms. The results of method application have shown a reduction of deterministic and even nondeterministic part of the total error in what concern accuracy and precision. For the entire batch, the level of remanent error is less than 5% for deterministic part, and less than 75% for nondeterministic part. These results are clearly better than the other results reported; moreover, they refer to the whole processing error and entire batch.
Lithium sulphur for safe road electrification

Li-ion batteries are still the limiting factor for mass scale adoption of electrified vehicles and there is a need for new batteries that enable EVs with higher driving range, higher safety and faster charging at lower cost. LiS is a promising alternative to Li-ion free of critical raw material (CRM) and non-limited in capacity and energy by material of intercalation. LISA proposes the development of high energy and safe LiS battery cells with hybrid solid state non-flammable electrolytes validated at 20Ah cell level according to EUCAR industrial standards for automotive integration. LISA will solve specific LiS bottlenecks on metallic lithium protection, power rate, and volumetric energy density; together with cost the main selection criteria for EV batteries. The sustainability of the technology will be assessed from an environmental and economic perspective. The technology will be delivered ready for use within the corresponding state of charge estimator facilitating battery pack integration. Today, LiS is twice lighter than Li-ion and has reached only 10% of the sulphur theoretical energy density (2600Wh/kg) at cell prototype level (250-300Wh/kg), with potentially 800Wh/l (600Wh/kg) achievable by improving materials, components and manufacturing. LISA is strongly oriented to the development of lithium metal protection and solid state electrolyte; and will incorporate manufacturability concepts enabling integration in future manufacturing lines. Moreover, the outcome of the project in terms of new materials, components, cells, and manufacturability will be transferable to other lithium-anode based technologies such as Li-ion and solid state lithium technologies. As such, LISA will have a large impact on existing and next-generation EV batteries, delivering technology with higher energy density beyond the theoretical capacities of chemistries using CRM – i.e. natural graphite and cobalt - or silicon-based chemistries inherently limited by their manufacturability.

Tra historia, ricordi e raccordati medicamenti: la peste di Padova nella cronaca di Alessandro Canobbio

Nel contesto inquieto del secondo Cinquecento, nei territori dell’Italia settentrionale, un’inspiegabile catastrofe sopraggiunse e scatenò il panico tra la popolazione. Una violenta epidemia di peste dilagò infatti tra i territori degli stati di Milano e di Venezia, i quali – cercando in tutti i modi di contrastare l’emergenza – furono costretti a adottare duri provvedimenti di isolamento e di controllo della popolazione. A causa del malcontento generale e delle istanze di rinnovamento religioso della Controriforma, in breve tempo la peste divenne terreno di dibattito politico, sul quale le scelte del potere laico si scontravano con le interpretazioni spirituali della rinnovata Chiesa cattolica. Focalizzando l’interesse sul contesto veneto di terraferma, verrà qui analizzata una scrittura di memoria storica nata dal trauma dell’epidemia, Il Successo della peste di Padova di Alessandro Canobbio, scrittura immediata nella quale l’urgenza controriformistica di raccontare la verità del silenzioso disastro si scontra con la mitologia laica della Repubblica di San Marco. Analizzando la struttura e le strategie narrative dello scritto, verranno messi in rilievo sia la peculiare tensione che anima la prosa del Canobbio sia quegli elementi che ben iscrivono la cronaca della peste nel panorama storiografico del secondo Cinquecento.
Strength Analysis of High Strength Steel Hydraulic Support

Based on the importance and complex working environment of hydraulic support, welding residual stress (WRS) measurement to main components were carried out respectively by X-ray diffraction and the measured data were further analyzed theoretically. Tests were made on the gob shield and base for two times, each was measured before and after heat treatment respectively. The results indicate that WRS in the base are higher than that in the gob shield before heat treatment. After heat treatment, residual stress (RS) level of gob shield and base decreased significantly, WRS in every region keep at a lower level and regional RS differences become smaller. Therefore, heat treatment processes is an effective method to reduce RS of hydraulic support after welding. Through the test results we measured, got the real residual stress level of gob shield and base, which can provide the basis of experiment to search for an appropriate welding and heat treatment process.
A Parallel VOF Method for Simulation of Water Impact on Rigid Structure

This article introduces a numerical scheme to simulate water impact on rigid structures, in which the air-water two phase flow is solved using the pressure-based Computational Fluid Dynamics method. This method is implemented using an in-house code, the General Transport Equation Analyser, which is an unstructured grid finite volume solver. The performance of the PC is greatly developed, so as expected the network can provide great computational capability. Based on this point, we developed a data structure system and parallel code. Two simple test cases have been done with the program and reasonable results were obtained. The air cushion has a great effect on the peak pressure of the impact process, while the impulse is almost constant with different air densities. Air density also influences the free surface distribution, which causes different flow characteristics.
Evolution of strategic risks under future scenarios for improved utility master plans

Integrated, long-term risk management in the water sector is poorly developed. Whilst scenario planning has been applied to singular issues (e.g. climate change), it often misses a link to risk management because the likelihood of impacts in the long-term are frequently unaccounted for in these analyses. Here we apply the morphological approach to scenario development for a case study utility, Empresa Portuguesa das Águas Livres (EPAL). A baseline portfolio of strategic risks threatening the achievement of EPAL's corporate objectives was evolved through the lens of three future scenarios, 'water scarcity', 'financial resource scarcity' and 'strong economic growth', built on drivers such as climate, demographic, economic, regulatory and technological changes and validated through a set of expert workshops. The results represent how the baseline set of risks might develop over a 30 year period, allowing threats and opportunities to be identified and enabling strategies for master plans to be devised. We believe this to be the first combined use of risk and futures methods applied to a portfolio of strategic risks in the water utility sector.
