Smart Specialisation Strategies to build an Innovation model for Alp Clusters

The Smart Specialisation concept is a lever of EU Cohesion Policy. Several EU regions developed Smart Specialisation Strategies (S3). Challenge is to implement S3 through clusters to gain sustainable and incl. growth generating critical mass. No many experiences exist due to lack of knowledge about S3 in other regions. Implementation tools must be developed to fully benefit SMEs. _x000D_
_x000D_
The objective is to improve framework conditions for innovation induced by clusters and SMEs and to create new jobs. S3 implemented by clusters is an innovative approach that improves innovation in the Alpine Space. Cross-regional approach supports coordinated actions between the different sectors/regions. Transnational cluster cooperation brings SMEs critical mass and enhances cross-regional collaboration to innovate for new products in the relevant areas of the Alpine Space. _x000D_
_x000D_
Project outputs are: joint transnational cluster action plan and S3 stress test analysis of advanced, convergence and less advanced regions for agenda setting, strategy development and implementation – fully developed synchronised scheme - S3-based innovation model adapted to regional clusters – better framework conditions for companies through tested innovation model and services. Quadruple helix benefits from these outputs to boost innovation. _x000D_
_x000D_
The work is jointly completed by pilot clusters, entrepreneurs, academics, and supported by public authorities, clusters and S3 experts. Cluster policies will shift “to concentrate resources on the development of those activities that are likely to transform the existing economic structures through R&D and innovation”. Transnational approach bundles the strengths of Alpine regions and SMEs towards smart innovation: they learn from each other through good and bad practices. S3 partners mutual knowledge facilitates framework conditions creation. The outcomes of previous Interreg and existing S3 and their implementation will be taken into account.
Phylodynamics of Alagoas vesiculovirus in Brazil

The vesicular stomatitis virus belongs to the Rhabdoviridae family, genus Vesiculovirus. Four species (New Jersey, Indiana, Cocal, and Alagoas) are responsible for disease outbreaks in Western Hemisphere countries. In Brazil, the Alagoas virus is responsible for the main outbreaks of the disease, mainly in the states of the Northeast, Midwest, and Southeast regions of the country. The present study aimed to perform the genetic characterization of 41 vesicular stomatitis virus samples. RNA was extracted using Trizol and used to amplify part of gene P. Amplicons were sequenced using the Sanger method. The phylogenetic trees generated showed that Alagoas vesiculoviruses were positioned into three groups: group A formed by the first virus isolate; group B by isolates from states in the Northeast region; and group C by isolates from the states of Bahia, Goiás, and Tocantins. Their divergence to date has generated the formation of two genotypes evolving independently in regions that until the present study had little geographic overlap.
Hydrochemical Characteristics and Groundwater Quality Assessment in Krishnagiri District, Tamilnadu, India

The hydrochemical characteristics of groundwater in Krishnagiri district, Tamilnadu have been evaluated based on different indices for drinking, irrigation and industrial uses. Groundwater samples were collected from 34 boreholes and analyzed for chemical parameters. The abundance of the major ions is in order of: Na + > Mg 2+ > Ca 2+ > K + and HCO 3 � > Cl � > NO 3 � > SO 4 2� . Interpretation of analytical data shows three major hydrochemical facies: CaHCO 3, CaNaHCO 3 and CaMgCl. The concentration of Ca 2+ and SO 4 2� is well within the desirable limit in all the locations. The SAR, RSC and Na% shows that most of the samples are suitable for irrigation. High values of TH and CR at many locations restrict its use for industrial purpose.

Ultrastructural and molecular study of the microsporidian<i>Toguebayea baccigeri</i>n. gen., n. sp., a hyperparasite of the digenean trematode<i>Bacciger israelensis</i>(Faustulidae), a parasite of<i>Boops boops</i>(Teleostei, Sparidae)

A new microsporidian Toguebayea baccigeri n. gen., n. sp., hyperparasite of Bacciger israelensis (Digenea, Faustulidae), parasite of Boops boops (Teleostei, Sparidae) is described by means of transmission electron microscopy. The phylogenetic analysis, based on the SSU rDNA gene, places the new species in the clade containing mainly crustacean-infecting microsporidia of the genus Cucumispora, within superclade V (Marinosporidia) sensu Vossbrinck et al., 2014. Mature spores of T. baccigeri are ovoid, uninucleated and measure 2.5 × 1.4 μm. The number of coils of the polar tube is 8-10. The polaroplast is composed of an external lamellar part and an internal vesicular or granular part. The main differences that distinguish the new genus and new species from the closely related microsporidia include hyperparasitism in a digenean host infecting a marine fish, the geographic distribution (coast of Tunisia), presence of one nucleus at all developmental stages, disporoblastic sporogony, and the absence of sporophorous vacuoles.Étude ultrastructurale et moléculaire de la microsporidie Toguebayea baccigeri n. gen., n. sp., hyperparasite du trématode digène Bacciger israelensis (Faustulidae), parasite de Boops boops (Teleostei, Sparidae).Une nouvelle microsporidie Toguebayea baccigeri n. gen., n. sp., hyperparasite de Bacciger israelensis (Digenea, Faustulidae), parasite de Boops boops (Teleostei, Sparidae) est décrite en microscopie électronique à transmission. L’analyse phylogénétique, basée sur l’étude du gène SSU rDNA, place la nouvelle espèce dans le clade qui contient notamment les microsporidies parasites de crustacés du genre Cucumispora, dans le superclade V (Marinosporidia) sensu Vossbrinck et al, 2014. Les spores mûres de T. baccigeri sont ovoïdes, uninucléées et mesurent 2,5 × 1,4 μm. Le nombre de tours de spire décrits par le tube polaire est de 8 à 10. Le polaroplaste est composé d’une partie externe lamellaire et d’une partie interne vésiculeuse ou granuleuse. Les principales différences entre le nouveau genre et la nouvelle espèce et les microsporidies les plus proches sont : l’hyperparasitisme d’un digène parasite d’un poisson marin, la localisation géographique (côtes de la Tunisie), et certains aspects du développement, notamment la présence d’un seul noyau à tous les stades de développement, la sporogonie disporoblastique et l’absence de vacuoles sporophores.

The MEDiterranean pathWAY for innovation CAPitalisation toward an urban-rural integrated development of non-conventional water resources

Challenge-driven cooperation is a crucial shot to provide coherent and continuous cross-border dialogue and process including sustained awareness-raising of public authorities and policy-makers at regional/national level, capacity building, easy access to information and a friendly use of tools for mutual learning. This approach can contribute to mitigating local water crisis, a common challenge in the Mediterranean, through facilitating general access and promotion of best practices including the improvement of treated wastewater reuse as a non-conventional water resource (NCWR). Moreover, indication shows weakness in the multi-level governance and law enforcement, in planning, managerial and operational capacities, further than low-level involvement of the stakeholders in the decision-making process. MEDWAYCAP project will face these issues and address the final beneficiaries, to be equipped with state-of-the-art knowledge on NCWR techniques, management, planning and skills to reuse at territorial level for domestic and agricultural purpose thanks to the well organised capitalization platforms for networking and knowledge transfer and capacity building tool box. The project has been structured to: transfer and “upgrade” knowledge; reinforce new\existing networks & alliances; raise awareness among public authorities, policy-makers and “challenge owners” about NCWR measures and related opportunities for planning policies and related funding measures.
Compact rectifying unit for separation of mixed fluids and rectifying process for separation of such mixed fluids

The invention relates to a compact rectifying unit for separation of mixed fluids using for heat transfer purpose a fluid heat carrier and its vapours on one of the sides of heat and mass exchanging walls. In order to increase the efficiency of the heat and mass exchange process, the heat and mass exchange tubes of the rectifying part and/or of the evaporator part have means to provide irregular (varying) amounts of heat transfer between the inside and the outside of tube wall along the height of said heat and mass exchange tubes. This allows to reduce the rectification column height by 3-10 times.
Probing stresses at the nanoscale

Summary:

I will exploit novel molecules whose fluorescence properties depend strongly on the environment, notably on their spatial confinement, to study local stresses in complex materials down to the nanometer length scale and with unprecedented temporal resolution. Based on successful preliminary tests, I will develop this innovative methodology to tackle the fundamental scientific challenge of quantifying the long-range and very non-linear elasto-plastic stresses that govern the dynamics of friction, the glass transition and rheology.

Friction is an immense global source of energy loss; the glass transition is perhaps the most important unsolved problem in condensed matter physics; and rheology in complex fluids is at the same time ubiquitous and poorly understood. The common denominator of these three open challenges is that in each, the material’s macroscopic mechanical behavior results from a complex interplay between microscopic stresses that remain ill characterized. This presents a scientific bottleneck as well as a major obstacle in the engineering of many important materials and tools such as ball bearings, plastics and foodstuffs.

The fluorescent environmentally sensitive probes will allow me to achieve breakthrough results in three areas at once: (1) Locally measuring stresses in a frictional contact; (2) Probing the glass transition by local stress and viscosity measurements; (3) Visualizing and quantifying stress transmission in flowing complex fluids to explain non-Newtonian and non-local viscosity effects microscopically. 

I have a track record in providing new insights in long-standing problems, spurring renewed scientific interest, and in combining fundamental research with potential for technological innovation. By probing local stresses in much more detail than was possible before, this project will break open some of the toughest research areas in non-linear physics and (statistical) mechanics with far-reaching engineering consequences.
High quality typical fish production - Enhancement of high quality typical fish production in the Venetian province and in the Slovenian coastal area

This project aims at enhancing one of the most important fish-producing areas: the Upper Adriatic. The province of Venice plays a major role here both for sea and for lagoon production. Yet, all these kinds of production are going through a difficult economic phase which has gradually marginalized them: their suitable enhancement therefore could propound once more to the public at large the Upper Adriatic gastronomic traditions, thus relaunching the local fish economy. This project will carry out bibliographic and archives research, drawing up an inventory of the most important fish production in the Venetian province and on the Slovenian coast, and highlighting the peculiarity and quality of the local products. For each of the productions with characteristics suitable to the project, a data sheet will be drawn up bearing the Latin and the popular denominations used in the Upper Adriatic area. A short history of the methods and time of production will also be written, describing the scale of production in the various fleets fishing in the Gulf of Venice, the most usual methods of preservation and processing of the product, the marketing routes and the most common or peculiar recipes, possibly indicating the way to adjust the use of the product to modern cuisine. In order to enhance the typical fish production, some informative meetings will be organized, such as an event in cooperation with the municipality of Venice (in the framework of another project cofinanced by the Community Initiative Programme INTERREG IIIA Italy-Slovenia) and a joint meeting in the Slovenian town of Izola - Isola. All the documents collected during the project (writings and images) will be gathered in a CD-Rom and distributed to tourist operators, farmhouse accommodations and restaurants, as well as to the local public authorities interested in this topic.
Optoelectronic of narrow band gap nanocrystals

Over the past decades, silicon became the most used material for electronic, however its indirect band gap limits its use for optics and optoelectronics. As a result alternatives semiconductor such as III-V and II-VI materials are used to address a broad range of complementary application such as LED, laser diode and photodiode. However in the infrared (IR), the material challenge becomes far more complex.

New IR applications, such as flame detection or night car driving assistance are emerging and request low cost detectors. Current technologies, based on epitaxially grown semiconductors are unlikely to bring a cost disruption and organic electronics, often viewed as the alternative to silicon based materials is ineffective in the mid-IR. The blackQD project aims at transforming colloidal quantum dots (CQD) into the next generation of active material for IR detection. CQD are attracting a high interest because of their size tunable optical features and next challenges is their integration in optoelectronic devices and in particular for IR features. 

The project requires a combination of material knowledge, with clean room nanofabrication and IR photoconduction which is unique in Europe. I organize blackQD in three mains parts. The first part relates to the growth of mercury chalcogenides nanocrystals with unique tunable properties in the mid and far-IR. To design devices with enhanced properties, more needs to be known on the electronic structure of these nanomaterials. In part II, I propose to develop original methods to probe static and dynamic aspects of the electronic structure. Finally the main task of the project relates to the design of a new generation of transistors and IR detectors. I propose several geometries of demonstrator which for the first time integrate from the beginning the colloidal nature of the CQD and constrain of IR photodetection. The project more generally aims to develop a tool box for the design of the next generation of low cost IR.
Topical therapy of hand eczema - analysis of the prescription profile from dermatologists in private practice

Chronic hand eczema (CHE) is a common dermatological disease. Due to different etiologies, severity levels, and high therapy costs, it presents a challenge for dermatologists. Nowadays, it is recommended that treatment be adapted to the severity of the disease. According to the guidelines on the management of hand eczema, topical corticosteroids are the first-line therapy for hand eczema.The present study investigated the prescription profile of topical treatments. Data sets from 13 191 patients with hand eczema were analyzed.The results indicate that topical corticosteroids are frequently prescribed for the treatment of hand eczema. Corticosteroid treatment (72.6 %) was most commonly prescribed by private practice physicians. Betamethasone was the most frequently prescribed, but other substances such as mometasone furoate, prednicarbate, clobetasol, and methylprednisolone aceponate were often prescribed as well.The results show that the concept of the risk-to-benefit ratio is reflected by the prescription profile of topical corticosteroids (therapeutic index). However, even corticosteroids with a less favorable therapeutic index are sometimes prescribed, perhaps due to economic reasons.
Properties of branched polymer chains adsorbed on a patterned surface

Abstract The aim of this study was to investigate the properties of polymer chains strongly adsorbed on a planar surface. Model macromolecules were constructed of identical segments, the positions of which were restricted to nodes of a simple cubic lattice. The chains were in good solvent conditions, thus, the excluded volume was the only interaction between the polymer segments. The polymer model chain interacted via a simple contact potential with an impenetrable flat surface with two kinds of points: attractive and repulsive (the latter being arranged into narrow strips). The properties of the macromolecular system were determined by means of Monte Carlo simulations with a sampling algorithm based on the local conformational changes of the chain. The structure of adsorbed chains was found to be strongly dependent on the distance between the repulsive strips, whenever this distance was very short. The mobility of the chains was also studied and it was found that diffusion across repulsive strips was suppressed for large distances between the strips.

Objetivo: Determinar el efecto que tiene la dinámica de los ingresos laborales a nivel departamental en el Perú sobre la afiliación al Sistema Privado de Administración de Pensiones (SPP), en el periodo 2004-2021. Método: Se utilizó un modelo de datos de panel con efectos fijos para estimar el efecto que tiene la dinámica de los ingresos laborales durante el periodo 2004-2021, entendido como la proporción de la Población Económicamente Activa Ocupada (PEAO) que tiene ingresos laborales dependientes por encima de la Remuneración Mínima Vital (RMV), sobre un indicador de acceso como la afiliación al SPP referido al porcentaje de la PEAO que se encuentra afiliado a dicho sistema. Resultados: Se observa que existe una dinámica diferenciada tanto en el ritmo de afiliación al SPP como en el crecimiento del ingreso laboral, y el ingreso laboral dependiente entre los departamentos. Asimismo, se determinó un efecto positivo y estadísticamente significativo de la proporción de la PEAO que cuenta con ingresos laborales dependientes por encima de la RMV sobre el porcentaje de afiliación al SPP. Conclusión: Los departamentos cuya población cuenta con mayor proporción de ingresos laborales dependientes por encima de la RMV tienen mayor acceso al SPP, entendido como un nivel más alto de afiliación como parte de la PEAO.
Sialic acid and glycopeptides conjugated PLGA nanoparticles for central nervous system targeting: In vivo pharmacological evidence and biodistribution

Polymeric nanoparticles (Np) have been considered as strategic carriers for brain targeting. Specific ligands on the surface allowed the Np to cross the Blood-Brain Barrier (BBB) carrying model drugs within the brain district after their i.v. administration in experimental animals. It is known that sialic acid receptors are present in several organs, including in the brain parenchyma. Thus, in this paper, we prepared PLGA Np surface modified with a BBB-penetrating peptide (similopioid peptide) for BBB crossing and with a sialic acid residue (SA) for the interaction with brain receptors. This double coverage could allow to obtain novel targeted Np with a prolonged residence within the brain parenchyma, thus letting to reach a long-lasting brain delivery of drugs. The central analgesic activity of Loperamide (opioid drug, unable to cross the BBB) loaded in these novel Np was evaluated in order to point out the capability of the Np to reach and to remain in the brain. The results showed that the pharmacological effect induced by loaded Np administration remained significant over 24h. Using confocal and fluorescent microscopies, the novel Np were localized within the tissue parenchyma (brain, kidney, liver, spleen and lung). Finally, the biodistribution studies showed a localization of the 6% of the injected dose into the CNS over a prolonged time (24h). Notwithstanding an increased accumulation of SA-covered Np in those organs showing SA-receptors (liver, kidney, and lung), the pharmacological and biodistribution results are proofs of the ability of double targeted Np to enter the brain allowing the drug to be released over a prolonged time.

Local segmental dynamics ofcis-1,4-polybutadiene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate via molecular dynamics simulations

The local segmental dynamics of cis-1,4-polybutadiene, polypropylene and polyethylene terephthalate have been investigated via isothermal-isobaric molecular dynamics simulations. The simulation pressure was 1 atm for all systems, with all simulation temperatures being at least 150 K above the polymer's glass transition temperature. The trajectories have been analysed via autocorrelation functions (ACFs) of chord vectors spanning different number of chain backbone bonds. Inverse Laplace transformations of these ACFs using the CONTIN algorithm afforded the corresponding distribution of relaxation times (DRTs) for the simulated dynamics. All DRTs illustrated a peak on fast timescales corresponding to short length scale segmental motion and a peak at longer timescales corresponding to longer length scale relaxations. A third peak, intermediate between the fast and slow processes, appears as the relaxation of chord vectors spanning increasing number of backbone bonds is considered. The temperature dependence o...
