2D-Selective glass – implementation for the production of nano-shelled glass.

The aim of the project is to introduce on the market a significantly improved, innovative, complex nano-shell with mass application in construction and mobility, with characteristics improving the energy properties of buildings and vehicles. The proposed glazing set is characterised by a much better ratio of light to insulation in the infrared electromagnetic wave range. An additional advantage will also be a significant improvement in mechanical parameters and resistance to degradation and aging under weather conditions. A significant feature of the new product will be a significant reduction in the effect of lensing, which will have a positive impact on the environment in particular in large cities. Lower heat accumulation within buildings also improves the comfort of residents.
Unsettling remembering and social cohesion in transnational europe

The main purpose of this project is to deliver new empirical yet also theoretically informed knowledge of those memory agents, practices and contexts capable of countering fixed and essentialist war and conflict memories, opening them to reflexive reinterpretation and change. Theoretically, the project will develop the concept of an agonistic ethico-political mode of remembering as distinct from the antagonistic and cosmopolitan modes, and provide a thick description of their defining characteristics.  A related aim is to assess which of the two reflective modes, the cosmopolitan or the agonistic, best contributes to a shared European ethico-political framework and transnational solidarity. 
Empirically, the project will test the different ethico-political modes of remembering in contemporary heritage discourses and practices by different memory milieus located at various territorial scales in relation to some of the armed conflicts of the 20th century with an enduring legacy. By exploring the relationship between 1) the modes of remembering being negotiated and contested in various European settings; 2) the memory agents promoting them (heritage professionals, policy-makers, historians, creative artists, socio-political activists); and 3) material and immaterial heritage (museums, burial sites, media, visual and written culture), the project will assess how, why and in which contexts certain modes of remembering the violent past are able to prevail as well as their articulation with various territorial identities.
Treatment of Naturally Notoedres cati-infested Cats with a Combination of Imidacloprid 10 % / Moxidectin 1 % Spot-on (Advocate® / Advantage® Multi, Bayer)

Notoedric mange (feline scabies) is a rare, but highly contagious disease of cats and kittens caused by Notoedres cati (N. cati), which can infest other animals and also humans. The study objective was to determine the efficacy and safety of 10 % imidacloprid/ 1 % moxidectin (Advocate®/Advantage® Multi spot-on for cats) against natural N. cati infestation in cats. Sixteen cats were randomly assigned to treatment group or negative control using pre-treatment mite counts. The treatment group received a single spot on treatment of the investigational veterinary product (IVP) according to label instructions. The control group stayed untreated. Five cats from the negative control were treated with the IVP at the end of the study and observed for 28 days to increase the treatment group. Skin scrapings and mite counts were performed 28 days post treatment (p.t.). Notoedric skin lesion assessments with clinical scoring were performed regularly. Five animals had to be removed prematurely from the study population due to different reasons. The number of viable N. cati mites in all treated animals 28 days p.t. was zero compared with 2.8 ± 3.0 in the negative control, being significantly lower for treated cats (p = 0.0019, Wilcoxon test). The resulting efficacy was 100 %. Clinical cure based on skin lesion assessment was achieved 28 days p.t. in 100 % of all treated animals completing 28 study days. The IVP was well tolerated and applied at the minimal therapeutic dose (10 mg imidacloprid/1 mg moxidectin/kg body weight) a high therapeutic efficacy in curing N. cati infestations and feline scabies clinical symptoms was recorded.
Performance-based value engineering application to public highway construction

Public works sector programs such as highway construction and infrastructure projects are increasingly being criticized for delivering projects that fail to meet the following objectives: 1) Achieving expected project goals, 2) Achieving project delivery within a reasonable amount of time, or 3) Costs within their budgeted amounts. Performance based value engineering methodology can help to find ways to improve solutions to these problems by providing a measured balance in cost, schedule, and scope via the generation of a large quantity of innovative alternatives. This requires a motivated team of multi-disciplined professionals in cooperation with well-established project stakeholders who are stimulated and guided by the appropriate process. This study shows the performance measurement based value engineering method and process, and case study applications. The authors found that the project can significantly save cost and improve performance of project functions by using the appropriate VE process at the appropriate time. In addition, this study shows an example of a VE case study that applies the performance measurement process, which led to a very innovative, less expensive way to provide innovative toll plaza modification project. Finally, this study summarizes the benefits and effectiveness of the proposed methodology with recommendations.

International organisations and the rise of a global metrological field

The production of global metrics by International Organisations has not only penetrated the transnational social and policy fields; it has also become an integral mode of the ways International Organisations interconnect. Through their collaborative practices of quantification and commensuration, International Organisations are both constituting new realities and being reconstituted themselves. Thus, the dominance of global measurement regimes has profound implications for the ways International Organisations interact, and for the environments these new interrelationships come to generate. 

How is one to make sense of this emerging reality? The embryonic –but rapidly deepening– alliances between International Organisations to find global solutions to global crises, is an opportune moment for a two-fold enquiry: a. an in-depth investigation of the labour of the joint production of metrics; and b. an examination of the ways this labour reconfigures interdependencies between International Organisations and hence the field of transnational governance itself. This is a novel, problem-driven perspective that goes beyond the role and impact of International Organisations through ‘governing by numbers’: instead, we bring together multiple bodies of knowledge in order to cast light on the role metrics play in re-shaping the data collectors themselves.

Hence, focusing on the policy areas of Education and Development, this is an interdisciplinary study of the ways International Organisations co-exist, compete and survive in an increasingly quantified yet uncertain world.   Building on International Relations theory, Science and Technology Studies, and using theoretical perspectives from Organisational Sociology, as well as the newly emerging field of the social studies of metrics, this research will apply a mixed-methods research design to examine the interrelationships of International Organisations in co-constructing the global metrological field.
Huge Carbon Sequestration Potential in Global Forests

Forests play an important role in mitigating climate change by absorbing carbon from atmosphere. The global forests sequestrated 2.4±0.4 Pg C y-1 from 1990 to 2007, while the quantitative assessment on the carbon sequestration potential (CSP) of global forests has much uncertainty. We collected and compiled a database of site above-ground biomass (AGB) of global mature forests, and obtained AGB carbon carrying capacity (CCC) of global forests by interpolating global mature forest site data. The results show that: (i) at a global scale, the AGB of mature forests decline mainly from tropical forests to boreal forests, and the maximum AGB occurs in middle latitude regions; (ii) temperature and precipitation are main factors influencing the AGB of mature forests; and (iii) the above-ground biomass CCC of global forests is about 586.2±49.3 Pg C, and with CSP of 313.4 Pg C. Therefore, achieving CCC of the existing forests by reducing human disturbance is an option for mitigating greenhouse gas emission.
Synthesis of some novel pyridine compounds containing bis-1,2,4-triazole/thiosemicarbazide moiety and investigation of their antioxidant properties, carbonic anhydrase, and acetylcholinesterase enzymes inhibition profiles

Some novel derivatives of thiosemicarbazide and 1,2,4-triazole-3-thiol were synthesized and evaluated for their biological activities. The title compounds were prepared starting from readily available pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylic acid. The reaction carboxylic acid with absolute ethanol afforded the corresponding dimethyl pyridine-2,5-dicarboxylate (1). The reaction of dimethyl-2,5-pyridinedicarboxylate (1) with hydrazine hydrate good yielded pyridine-2,5-dicarbohydrazide (2). Refluxing compound 2 with alkyl/aryl isothiocyanate derivatives for 3-8 h afforded 1,4-disubstituted thiosemicarbazides (3a-e). Base-catalyzed intra-molecular dehydrative cyclization of these intermediates furnished the 4,5-disubstituted bis-mercaptotriazoles (4a-e) in good yield (85%-95%). Among the target compounds, 2,2'-(pyridine-2,5-diyldicarbonyl)bis[N-(p-methoxyphenyl)hydrazinecarbothioamide] (3c) showed very high activity with value of 72.93% against 1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl free radical at the concentration of 25 μg/mL. The inhibitory effects of the target compounds against acetylcholinesterase (AChE), hCA I, and II were studied. AChE, cytosolic hCA I and II isoforms were potently inhibited by synthesized these derivatives with Ki s in the range of 3.07 ± 0.76-87.26 ± 29.25 nM against AChE, in the range of 1.47 ± 0.37-10.06 ± 2.96 nM against hCA I, and in the range of 3.55 ± 0.57-7.66 ± 2.06 nM against hCA II, respectively.
Nano-Structured glass for future display and communication technologies

Optical displays and communication have a tremendous impact on modern life. We routinely interact with tactile smart phones and tablets, televisions, laser projection panels and constantly use internet services. Glass is the constituent material of transparent screens and optical fibres, which are essential elements of optical displays and communication. 

CORNING and ICFO, the industrial and academic partners, respectively, of the proposed ITN action (NANO-GLASS), aim at introducing disruptive nano-structuring designs and methods for glass display screens and optical fibres, with the PhD students (ESRs) playing a pivotal role in undertaking challenging projects with high industrial relevance. Potential outcomes of the research programme include optical screens without reflections, improving visibility in sunlight, self-cleaning tactile display that do not leave finger-prints, car windows that enable head up laser projection whilst still being transparent, optical fibres that generate quantum signals with high efficiency and highly secure encryption of sensitive information over the internet. 

CORNING has created Gorilla glass, the premier material for any kind of display screen today, and introduced the first low loss optical silica fibre which, among the others, has allowed the data transmission powering internet. ICFO and the participating groups are world-leaders in nano-photonics and quantum technologies, central topics to NANO-GLASS. 

Starting from an ongoing collaboration, the ESRs will face ambitious scientific and technical challenges, with the unique opportunity to bridge academic (fundamental) research to product (industrial) development. They will become leaders in highly relevant fields for the future society, which is increasingly permeated by ever more sophisticated display and communication technologies.

Microrevolution - a high-throughput drop-based microfluidic platform for rapid screening of highly diverse antimicrobial peptide mutant libraries generated via directed evolution.

The extensive overuse of antibiotics in both the medicine and food industry resulted in the emergence of multidrug-resistant bacteria strains, putting at risk lives of millions of patients worldwide. Finding new antibiotics is a highly challenging and continuous process, as, eventually, bacteria develop resistance for specific antibiotic(s). Thus, there is an urgent need for alternative long-lasting antimicrobial agents.
Antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) are a part of the innate host defence system that counteract microbial infections. AMPs exhibit a rapid antimicrobial activity covering both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria. Due to this feature, AMPs are very appealing as potential pharmacological agents that could be used as an alternative for conventional antibiotics. Although many AMPs show high antibacterial activity, they also exhibit undesirable characteristics that prevent their widespread implementation in clinical use. In nature, development of biomolecules is driven by evolution, which can be mimicked in the laboratory using directed evolutionary processes to generate billions of variations of genetic sequences that encode myriad peptides or proteins some of which possess improved characteristics. One of the main experimental challenges in directed evolution studies is the relatively large size of the DNA-encoded libraries that must be screened. In the context of AMP evolution studies, an additional challenge is the time-consuming nature of the conventional assays used to assess the antimicrobial activity of AMPs.
Here, I propose establishing MicroREvolution as a novel high-throughput microfluidics-based platform that will overcome limitations of current conventional assays and realise a novel concept, offering an exceptional possibility to rapidly explore the therapeutic potential of myriad laboratory-evolved AMPs in a time- and cost-effective manner.
Going for gold: A prospective assessment of the economic impacts of the Commonwealth Games 2014 on the East End of Glasgow

Host cities have increasingly sought to combine the staging of a multi-sports event with the regeneration of run-down areas. Like London 2012, Glasgow has sought to use the Commonwealth Games 2014 as a catalyst for the physical, social and economic renewal of its East End. This paper presents a novel approach to the assessment of legacy for a host community which recognises the complexity of potential impacts, without assuming a trickle-down effect to the local area. This comprises a holistic approach to evaluation, encompassing consideration of plausibility, the specifics of people and place, and legacy programmes. Three requirements for sustained economic legacy impacts for the host community are identified: continued and extended partnership working at a strategic level; extending the scope and duration of legacy programmes beyond that required for the event itself; resolving inherent tensions between delivering legacy at different spatial scales, and ensuring the equitable treatment of disadvantaged areas.
Expression of osteoprotegerin and receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand in root resorption induced by heavy force in rats

The aim of this study was to investigate the expression patterns of osteoprotegerin (OPG) and the receptor activator of nuclear factor κB ligand (RANKL) in root resorption during orthodontic tooth movement.Forty 12-week-old male SD rats were used with the right maxillary side as the experimental group and the left maxillary side as the control group. After 1 N (100g) force was loaded on the right maxillary first molar, the rats were sacrificed on days 0, 1, 4, 8, and 12. Mesial root resorption of the first molar, the number of odontoclasts and osteoclasts, and OPG and RANKL mRNA expression were determined by hematoxylin-eosin and scanning electron microscopy, tartrate-resistant acid phosphate staining, and in situ hybridization, respectively.Serious root resorption was apparent on the pressure side of the mesial root of the right maxillary first molar on days 8 and 12. The number of odontoclasts in the cementum lacuna was elevated on days 8 and 12. OPG expression rose significantly on the tensile side, while RANKL expression increased on the pressure side. The mRNA level of RANKL was significantly elevated on days 4, 8, and 12. Moreover, the RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio was increased on the pressure side, but decreased on the tensile side.Changes in the expression of RANKL mRNA and the RANKL/OPG mRNA ratio are accompanied by a parallel alteration in the number of odontoclasts and tooth resorption, suggesting crucial involvement of RANKL and OPG in tooth resorption.
Evaluation des Dresdner Tympanoplastik Modells (DTM)

The training of microsurgical motor skills is essentiell for surgical education if the interests of the patient are to be safeguarded. In otosurgery the complex anatomy of the temporal bone and variations necessitate a special training before performing surgery on a patient. We therefore developed and evaluated a simplified middle ear model for acquiring first microsurgical skills in tympanoplasty.The simplified tympanoplasty model consists of the outer ear canal and a tympanic cavity. A stapes model is placed in projection of the upper posterior tympanic membrane quadrant at the medial wall of the simulated tympanic cavity. To imitate the annular ligament flexibility the stapes is fixed on a soft plastic pad. 41 subjects evaluated the model´s anatomical analogy, the comparability to the real surgical situation and the general model properties the using a special questionnaire.The tympanoplasty model was very well evaluated by all participants. It is a reasonably priced model and a useful tool in microsurgical skills training. Thereby, it closes the gap between theoretical training and real operation conditions.
