Inclusion of fiber in diets for brown-egg laying pullets: Effects on growth performance and digestive tract traits from hatching to 17 weeks of age

We investigated the effects of fiber inclusion in the diet on growth performance and digestive traits in pullets from hatching to 17 wk of age. The control diets of the 3 feeding periods (0 to 5 wk, 5 to 10 wk, and 10 to 17 wk) were based on corn and soybean meal and did not include any additional fiber source. The experimental diets included 2 or 4% of cereal straw or sugar beet pulp (SBP) at the expense (wt:wt) of the control diet. From 0 to 5 wk of age, fiber inclusion did not affect pullet performance. From hatch to 17 wk of age, the inclusion of straw had little effect on pullet performance but the inclusion of 4% SBP reduced (ADG) (P < 0.05) and reduced feed conversion ratio (FCR; P < 0.001). Pullets fed straw had greater ADG (P < 0.05) and better energy conversion ratio (P < 0.01) than pullets fed SBP. An increase in fiber from 2 to 4% reduced FCR (P < 0.05). Body weight uniformity was not affected by diet. Fiber inclusion increased the relative weight (% BW) of the gizzard at 5 wk (P = 0.056) and 10 wk (P < 0.01) of age, but no differences were detected between fiber sources. At same ages, the relative length (cm/kg BW) of the pullets (P = 0.058 and P < 0.01, respectively) and tarsus (P = 0.079 and P < 0.05, respectively) was higher in pullets fed SBP than in pullets fed straw. Fiber inclusion, however, did not affect any of these traits at 17 wk of age. In summary, the inclusion of 2% straw at the expense (wt:wt) of the whole diet did not affect pullet performance at 17 wk of age. An increase in the level of straw from 2 to 4% reduced FCR but did not affect ADG. The inclusion of SBP, however, reduced pullet growth, with effects being more pronounced at the higher level.
Novel processing of colloidal nanocrystals for optoelectronic applications

NANOPTO aims at developing novel physicochemical routes to obtain a semiconductor matrix embedding dispersed quantum-dots (dots-in-matrix) starting from colloidal nanocrystals.
In recent years, a multitude of different semiconductor materials have been synthesized and studied to  increase the performance of current technologies or to develop new and attractive applications. As a first-order approximation, materials boosting high photoluminescence (PL) quantum yield (PLQY)  possess low or hindered charge mobility, as pristine colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). To overcome this limitation, many different NCs processing techniques have been developed, but all of them either cause the formation of charge trap-states on the NCs surface (thus quenching the PL) or do not significantly enhance the charge mobility. For this reason, NANOPTO will tackle this fundamental limitation of NCs by developing novel general methods to enhance their charge mobility without creating surface trap-states, thus leading the way to the development of more efficient light-emitting diodes (LEDs) and solar cells that can be processed in solution. In particular, NANOPTO aims at exploiting both chemical and physical routes to prepare colloidal core-shell NCs and solder their shells in solid-state thus creating a bulk semiconductor matrix (granting enhance charge mobility) embedding quantum-dots (granting the desired optical properties).

Indigenous research, institutionalisation and neo-politicisation: a conjunctural analysis of sami research in finland

INREPOSA combines Cultural and Indigenous studies to study the shifting terrains of research relating to the Sami in Finland.  Western scientific interest on the Sámi - the Indigenous People in Northern Europe - has a long and rich (colonial) history, but the emergence of ""Sámi research"" as an academic field of its own is usually associated with Sámi demands for Indigenous and academic decolonisation. To date, this field has become highly institutionalised across the Nordic states, but at the same time also the hopes, desires and political, economic and cultural interests that are projected on it have been multiplied, in tandem with the Arctic region's growing importance in the eyes of European states, and due to the general revival of Indigenous cultures and identities. The project aims to examine how this conjuncture of institutionalisation and neo-politicisation is shaping the relationships between Sami politics, research and the state, and what are its consequences for research-based policy-making, as well as for Sami research as a critical discipline committed to Indigenous decolonisation. The project is grounded on conjunctural analysis associated with the work of Stuart Hall. In addition, it will test the relevance of Settler Colonial Theory for understanding the Finnish state's policies in the Sami region. The research materials include relevant literatures and research texts, policy documents and statements issued by the Finnish government, Sami political institutions and organisation and other stake-holders, and other textual materials. This material is analysed interpretatively using critical discourse analysis and ethnographic methods. The project is conducted as part of the international research group ""Social Dimensions of Sami Research"" at the Tromso University Museum, and its main publication outcome is a single-authored original research monograph.
An Analysis of and Reflection on China's Security Environment in the First 2 Decades of the Century

China's security environment witnessed a big change in the first decade of the 21st century.There is little possibility for China to be invaded or get involved in a world war,but the possibility of its involvement in a local war has increased.China's land security can be guaranteed,but its marine security has been a serious problem;its conventional security remains basically unchanged,but its non-conventional security problems have increased.In the next ten years,the Taiwan issue、the East China Sea issue、South China Sea disputes、the boundary problem between China and India may make China encounter more troubles.The tension between China and the major countries in this area would intensify.In particular,the conflict between China and America would be the single most serious security threat to China.In response,China should continue to develop its economy,improve its comprehensive strength and national defense and its security cooperation with its neighboring countries and regions,and to enhance its soft power and the ability to deal with non-conventional security issues.
Characterization of antibiotic-resistant and potentially pathogenic <i>Escherichia coli</i> from soil fertilized with litter of broiler chickens fed antimicrobial-supplemented diets

The objective of this study was to characterize antimicrobial resistance and virulence determinants of Escherichia coli from soil amended with litter from 36-day-old broiler chickens ( Gallus gallus domesticus ) fed with diets supplemented with a variety of antimicrobial agents. Soil samples were collected from plots before and periodically after litter application in August to measure E. coli numbers. A total of 295 E. coli were isolated from fertilized soil samples between August and March. Antibiotic susceptibility was determined by Sensititre, and polymerase chain reaction was performed to detect the presence of resistance and virulence genes. The results confirmed that E. coli survived and could be quantified by direct plate count for at least 7 months in soil following litter application in August. The effects of feed supplementation were observed on E. coli numbers in November and January. Among the 295 E. coli, the highest antibiotic resistance level was observed against tetracycline and β-lactams associated mainly with the resistance genes tetB and bla CMY-2 , respectively. Significant treatment effects were observed for phylogenetic groups, antibiotic resistance profiles, and virulence gene frequencies. Serotyping, phylogenetic grouping, and pulsed-field gel electrophoresis confirmed that multiple-antibiotic-resistant and potentially pathogenic E. coli can survive in soil fertilized with litter for several months regardless of antimicrobials used in the feed.

Desenvolvimento de tecnologia inovadora de produção de ferro fundido de baixa temperatura sob cargas dinâmicas com método de fundição melhorado para tais condições de operação

O projeto visa desenvolver uma nova tecnologia para a produção de ferro fundido dúctil dedicada ao trabalho a baixas temperaturas. Além da nova tecnologia de produção, o projeto se concentrará no aumento da estabilidade das peças fundidas fabricadas em termos de seus parâmetros de desempenho. O projeto prevê a implementação de três fases de I & D. Dois deles se concentrarão na pesquisa industrial, onde, primeiro em escala laboratorial, com a participação de um subcontratante científico — a Faculdade de Fundação da AGH University of Science and Technology, será desenvolvida uma nova tecnologia para a produção de ferro fundido dúctil. Em seguida, com base nos resultados obtidos, será desenvolvido em condições semelhantes às da fundição do requerente. A terceira fase do projeto (obras de desenvolvimento) centrar-se-á em questões relacionadas com a inundação de moldes de fundição e dominando a técnica de adição de gás ao metal líquido para a sua refinação. Como parte desta etapa, os princípios de projetar moldes de areia serão desenvolvidos, em que a possibilidade de transferir inclusões não metálicas para a cavidade do molde reproduzindo a geometria da fundição é efetivamente limitada e a possibilidade de penetração de gases da massa de moldagem em metal líquido será reduzida. Como resultado, as peças fundidas fabricadas de acordo com a nova tecnologia estarão livres de inclusões não metálicas e gasosas, o que melhorará efetivamente suas propriedades mecânicas, principalmente plasticidade e resistência ao impacto. As peças vazadas produzidas como resultado do método desenvolvido serão utilizadas como componentes de máquinas e equipamentos em indústrias como: ferrovia, automotiva, engenharia de energia, ou como elementos de acessórios industriais sob a forma de vários tipos de válvulas, válvulas, decide, etc. Number_reference_aid_programa: SA.41471(2015/X) Objetivo do auxílio público: Artigo 25.º do Regulamento (CE) n.º 651/2014, de 17 de junho de 2014, que declara certas categorias de auxílios compatíveis com o mercado interno, em aplicação dos artigos 107.º e 108.º do Tratado É isso mesmo.

Glyceroglycolipids Affect Uptake of Carotenoids Solubilized in Mixed Micelles by Human Intestinal Caco-2 Cells

We previously reported that phospholipids markedly affected the uptake of carotenoids solubilized in mixed micelles by human intestinal Caco-2 cells. In the present study, we found that two classes of dietary glyceroglycolipids and the corresponding lysoglyceroglycolipids affected uptake of β-carotene and lutein by differentiated Caco-2 cells. The levels of carotenoid uptake from micelles containing digalactosyldiacylglycerol or sulfoquinovosyldiacylglycerol were significantly lower than that from control micelles. On the other hand, the uptakes from micelles containing digalactosylmonoacylglycerol or sulfoquinovosylmonoacylglycerol were significantly higher than that from control micelles. In dispersed cells and Caco-2 cells with poor cell-to-cell adhesion, however, the levels of uptake from micelles containing these lyso-lipids were much lower than that from control micelles. The uptake levels from control micelles were markedly decreased depending on the development of cell-to-cell/cell-matrix adhesion in Caco-2 cells, but the uptake levels from the micelles containing these lyso-lipids were not substantially changed, suggesting that the intercellular barrier formed by cell-to-cell/cell-matrix adhesion inhibited the uptake from control micelles, but not from the lyso-lipid-containing micelles. The lyso-lipids appeared to enhance carotenoid uptake by decreasing the intercellular barrier integrity. The results showed that some types of glyceroglycolipids have the potential to modify the intestinal uptake of carotenoids.
Abstract 15927: Successful Pharmacological Cardioversion by Oral Amiodarone Therapy is Correlated With Favorable Post-Ablation Clinical Outcomes in Non-Paroxysmal Atrial Fibrillation

Backgrounds: Catheter ablation (CA) for non-paroxysmal atrial fibrillation (AF)(non-PAF) is less successful in patients (pts) with highly remodeled atria. It is still controversial that how far CA should be indicated in non-PAF pts with highly remodeled atria. Impacts of successful pharmacological cardioversion of non-PAF by oral amiodarone (AMD) on post-CA clinical outcomes remain to be evaluated. Purposes: To assess efficacy of oral AMD and implications of successful cardioversion by AMD in advance to CA on post-CA clinical outcomes in non-PAF pts. Methods: In consecutive 418 non-PAF pts (age: 63±9 years, AF duration: 28±37 months, LA diameter: 44±5mm), oral AMD (300 mg/day for 2 weeks and 100 mg/day thereafter) was initiated at outpatient clinic one month prior to the initial CA procedure. Recurrence-free survival after last CA procedure was compared between those with successful pharmacological conversion to sinus rhythm, atrial flutter or atrial tachycardia by the time of the initial CA procedure (Group non-AF) and those without (Group AF) . Results: At the beginning of initial CA procedure, 79 pts were in sinus rhythm, 8 in typical atrial flutter, 3 in atrial tachycardia (Group non-AF: 90 pts (22%)) and the remaining 328 still in AF (Group AF: 78%) . During follow-up period of 287±204 days after last CA procedure (procedure number:1.6±0.7/pt, range: 1-4), 45 pts (11%) were followed up while taking AMD, whereas the other 373 pts (89%) without any antiarrhythmic drugs. Kaplan-Meier analysis revealed that recurrence-free survival after last CA procedure was significantly higher in Group non-AF than in Group AF (88 (98%) vs. 291 (89%) pts; p=0.02) . Group non-AF pts exhibited significantly shorter AF duration (9±9 (range: 1-46) vs. 33±41 months (range: 1-240): p&lt;0.0001) and smaller LA diameter (42±5 (range: 28-54) vs. 44±5 mm (range: 31-61): p&lt;0.0001) as compared with those in Group AF pts. Conclusions: Successful cardioversion by AMD in advance to CA was correlated with higher recurrence-free survival after last CA procedure. This simple criterion is helpful to find pts with less remodeled atria and good candidates for CA who will benefit from CA in non-PAF pts.
Cultural Interpretation of Space and the Harmonious Development of China in Transition

Since 1980s,the research in western new cultural geography has turned from geographical approach to culture to cultural approach in geogra- phy,which features the interpretation of space in a cultural perspective and broaden the research of cultural geography.This paper argues that the concerning inthe interpretation of spacein western new cultural geography is of great value to that in China,which could be demonstrated in at least three aspects: First,it broadens the research and application of cultural geography. Then,it helps to the merging of cultural geography to other social and human sciences.In addition,it contributes to breaking a lot of limits such as superorganic nature of culture and the effect of elite culture,which promotes the development of the human geography study. This paper also argues that the experience of the western cultural geography can not be completely copied in the cultural space study in China because it is based on the background of post-modern and post-industrialized society and it shows overconcern in the interpretation of the modern urban landscape, the contest of social space and the cultural space and cultural politics represented power.As a contrast,it is showed that Chinese social cultural space mainly have four characteristics on the whole:Firstly,focusing on the central task of economic construction strengthen the contemporary study to the reconstruction of economic space;Secondly,fruitful results of China's economic development has greatly benefited from participation of globalization;Thirdly, the rapid economic development accompany the widening gap within the income and changing in the structure of social stratification.Fourthly,changes in the mode of economic development may lead to a new transition in social and economic space.While,the Chinese values of increasing diverse makes it sense that interpret space from the perspective of culture or values.Therefore,interpreting the cultural space in Chinese perspective will have great effects on the construction of industrialization,urbanization,internationalization, modernization,ecologization,and the harmonious development of Chinese economy and society in transition period.
Trust-Enhancing certified solutions for security and protection of citizens’ rights in digital europe

TRUESSEC.EU is a CSA on certification and labelling of trustworthiness properties from a multidisciplinary SSH-ICT perspective and with emphasis on human rights.
The current complexity of ICT products and services makes it difficult to appraise their trustworthiness. Thus, certification becomes a must to restore transparency and trust. TRUESSEC.EU aims at exploring the situation, the barriers, and the benefits of security and privacy labels; engaging stakeholders in the discussions, and issuing recommendations that may foster the adoption and acceptance of labels.
With that aim, TRUESSEC.EU works and results are sustained by three pillars: 
1) A StakeHolders' Online Platform (SHOP), where associated cluster projects and stakeholders from industry, academia, governments and civil society will gather, participate in debates, get informed, and provide their opinions and feedback on the topics of the project.
2) A series of Support Analysis and Studies (SUPPA) from multidisciplinary perspectives on issues of trustworthiness certification and assurance, to study the situation of trust-enhancing labels, barriers/incentives to industry adoption and consumer acceptance. Information will be gathered from both public sources and the interactions with stakeholders through SHOP. Four different approaches will be applied:
-Socio-cultural
-Legal & ethical
-Technological
-Business
3) A set of Recommendations on European Trust-Enhancing Labels (ETEL) dealing with: methodological aspects of certification and assurance, a catalogue of criteria for labels and certifications, and regulatory aspects to foster their adoption, plus a strategic agenda. These recommendations reflect the conclusions obtained from the support analysis and from the stakeholders.
The community of stakeholders will nourish, among others, from: (a) members of the consortium partners that are stakeholder networks themselves (DIGICAT, APWG, KTN, AUI), and (b) H2020 RIAs & IAs from the associated cluster.
Experimental observations of mechanical dilation at the onset of gas flow in Callovo-Oxfordian claystone

Understanding the mechanisms controlling the advective movement of gas and its
potential impact on a geological disposal facility (GDF) for radioactive waste is important to performance
assessment. In a clay-based GDF, four primary phenomenological models can be defined
to describe gas flow: (i) diffusion and/or solution within interstitial water; (ii) visco-capillary (or
two-phase) flow in the original porosity of the fabric; (iii) flow along localized dilatant pathways
(micro-fissuring); and (iv) gas fracturing of the rock. To investigate which mechanism(s) control
the movement of gas, two independent experimental studies on Callovo-Oxfordian claystone
(COx) have been undertaken at the British Geological Survey (BGS) and LAEGO–ENSG
Nancy (LAEGO).
The study conducted at BGS used a triaxial apparatus specifically designed to resolve very small
volumetric (axial and radial) strains potentially associated with the onset of gas flow. The LAEGO
study utilized a triaxial setup with axial and radial strains measured by strain gauges glued to the
sample. Both studies were conducted on COx at in situ stresses representative of the Bure Underground
Research Laboratory (URL), with flux and pressure of gas and water carefully monitored
throughout long-duration experiments.
A four-stage model has been postulated to explain the experimental results. Stage 1: gas enters at
the gas entry pressure. Gas propagation is along dilatant pathways that exploit the pore network of
the material. Around each pathway the fabric compresses, which may lead to localized movement of
water away from the pathways. Stage 2: the dendriticflow path network has reached the mid-plane of
the sample, resulting in acceleration of the observed radial strain. During this stage, outflow from the
sample also develops. Stage 3: gas has reached the backpressure end of the sample with end-to-end
movement of gas. Dilation continues, indicating that gas pathway numbers have increased. Stage 4:
gas-fracturing occurs with a significant tensile fracture forming, resulting in failure of the sample.
Both studies clearly showed that as gas started to move through the COx, the sample underwent
mechanical dilation (i.e. an increase in sample volume). Under in situ conditions, the onset of
dilation (micro-fissuring) is a necessary precursor for the advective movement of gas.

Creating a Model of Technical Wear of Buildings in Mining Areas with the Use of Fuzzy Inference Systems

Technical wear is a measure of a technical condition of a building. The natural wear related to the ageing of building materials under specific environmental and exploitation conditions has a dominant influence on the rate of wear of a given object. On the other hand, the technical wear is affected by a number of additional factors, which are, in a statistical sense, random, and which also include the effects of mining (e.g. [1]). The relationship between the technical condition st, usually referred to in the form of verbal description, and the value of a rate of technical wear of a building sz, adopted in this work, have been presented in table 1.
