Subtle Influence of the Weibull Shape Parameter on Homer Optimization Space of a Wind Diesel Hybrid Gen Set for Use in Southern Brazil

Wind power is an increasingly important alternative for obtaining energy supplies, both in large interconnected power systems and in smaller hybrid systems and even in backup systems. The temporal and spatial variability of the winds represent an obstacle to be overcome so that wind energy can be increasingly used. The capacity factor of wind farms shows how this variability impacts the operation of the plants and its value is of the order of 30% to 35%. The variability of the wind speed is influenced if the point of interest is on land or on sea, the shape of the surface, the proximity of water bodies, among other factors. The availability of wind is best described by the Weibull probability distribution, which has as one of its defining parameters one which is termed as shape parameter. This parameter is much higher as higher is the variability of the wind speed. This paper studies the subtle influence of Weibull shape parameter on the optimal combination of components in a wind diesel hybrid system, by means of computer simulations with the well known software Homer. The results indicate a relatively small influence (as expected) in the studied system, which appears particularly when the cost of diesel is higher and the availability of wind is lower.

Net4Society5 will be the transnational network of National Contact Points (NCPs) for Societal Challenge 6 (SC6) “Inclusive, innovative, and reflective societies” in Horizon 2020. NCPs are set up to guide researchers in their quest for securing EU funding. Net4Society5 will further develop the current Net4Society network of SC6 NCPs (former NCPs for Socio-economic Sciences and Humanities), which was first established in 2008 and includes currently around 90 SC6 NCPs from over 55 countries in Europe and beyond.
Net4Society5 will ensure that all SC6 NCPs have the relevant knowledge and skills for their work and can offer professional, high-quality and tailor-made services to applicants. All nominated SC6 NCPs (also non-beneficiaries) will continue to have access to information and capacity building tools such as workshops, SC6 NCP Info sessions, trainings, webinars, factsheets or newsletters.
Net4Society5 foresees targeted activities to support applicants in SC6, with a special focus on those countries that have been participating at low levels in the programme up to now. The project will facilitate interdisciplinary and international consortium building through the organisation of brokerage events, through a sector specific partner search service and through a research directory of SC6 key players. In addition, Net4Society5 will organise a regional Info day and proposal check event in a country that has been participating at low level in the programme up to now.
To support the successful integration of Social Sciences and Humanities (SSH) in all parts of Horizon 2020, Net4Society5 will publish success stories and factsheets on “SSH integration”, as well as a document listing funding opportunities for SSH in all of Horizon 2020.
Various promotional activities enhancing the visibility of Net4Society5 services and the SC6 in Horizon 2020 will underline these efforts.
Innovative methodologies and technologies for reducing aircraft noise generation and emission

The proposed project, IMAGE, is relevant to Topic MG-1.10-2015, aiming to enhance the EU-China collaborative effort focusing on “Innovative methods and numerical technologies for airframe and engine noise reduction”. The project consortium consists of 12 partners.

The purpose of IMAGE is to investigate experimentally and numerically innovative airframe and engine noise-reduction technologies and, in a systematic conjunction, to develop robust methodologies of addressing these technologies. Airframe noise is addressed by tackling landing gears and high-lift devices, and engine noise through its fan component. Fundamental investigations of three key control strategies are carried out: plasma actuation, turbulence screens and innovative porous materials, on a platform of three configurations, relevant to airframe and aero-engine noise generation and control, including a wing mock-up, tandem cylinder and engine-fan duct. Beyond this, IMAGE explores further the installation effect of aeroacoustic engine-jet/wing interaction with a simplified configuration, as well as low-noise concepts and optimal noise-actuation methods by means of aeroacoustic optimization.

The project will conclude a comprehensive understanding of the physical mechanisms concerning flow-induced airframe and engine-fan noise generation, propagation and control, and of further improvement of beam-forming technology and noise source identification in aero-acoustic experimental analysis. The experiment will generate well-documented database, supporting the development of numerical modelling and simulation methodologies for reliable validation and verification. To this end, with technical synthesis and industrial assessment, the noise control methods will be optimized and be facilitated towards potential industrial use, and the methodologies developed should form a robust part of advanced tools in industrial practice.

Efficacy of thiamethoxam 30 FS against maize stem borers.

In India, maize ranks fifth in total area, fourth in production and third in productivity. Around 250 species of insect and mite species attack maize in field and storage conditions (Mathur, 1991). Among them, spotted stem borer, Chilo partellus (Swinhoe) is the most serious one during Kharif season causing 26.7-80.4 per cent yield losses in different agroclimatic regions of India (Panwar, 2005). Annual loss of 11.05 crores in Rabi is due to Sesamia inferens Walker (Siddiqui and Marwaha,1993). Effectiveness of Endosulfan 35 EC spray and whorl application of Carbofuran 3G for controlling stem borers was reported by Sajjan (983). However, no information on new molecules is available. One of the new molecules, Thiamethoxam is a neonicotinoid, systemic in action, mimic of acetylcholine, binding to Ach receptor site and damaging the insects nervous system resulting in death of the insect. Application of insecticide is independent of weather and amount of active ingredient used per unit area is less in case of seed treatment. Since stem borers attack maize in early whorl stage seed treatment would be effective upto initial 30 days age of the crop. Therefore, the present investigation was carried out during 2009 at Maize Research Centre, Hyderabad to evaluate the bio-efficacy of Thiamethoxam 30 FS as seed treatment against stem borers and its phytotoxic effect on maize plant. MATERIALS AND METHODS Field experiments were conducted at Maize Research Centre, ARI, Rajendranagar, Hyderabad for two seasons during Kharif 2009 and Rabi 2009-2010 in a randomized block design to assess the bio-efficacy of Thiamethoxam 30 FS on maize stem borers. Chemical was supplied by M/s Syngenta India Limited, Mumbai-20 under the trade name of Cruiser 30 FS. The experiment comprised of 7 treatments and 3 replications. DHM-117 seeds treated with five doses of Thiamethoxam 30 FS @ 3 ml/kg, 5 ml/kg, 7 ml/kg, 8 ml/kg and 16 ml/kg, Imidacloprid 600 FS @5 ml/kg and one untreated check were sown on 8.7.2009 during Kharif and on 26.11.2009 during Rabi. Each plot of size 24 sqm comprised of 7 rows of 4 m length. The seed treatment with 16.0 ml/kg was considered only for phytotoxicity but not for bio-efficacy study. Infestation of stem borer was recorded from 10 randomly selected plants in each plot. Phytotoxicity symptoms like leaf injury, wilting, vein clearing, necrosis, epinasty and hyponasty on maize plants were observed on one, three, five, seven and ten days after germination. Maize grain yield was recorded at the time of harvest and expressed as tons per ha at 15 per cent moisture. Data were subjected to two way analysis after arc sin transformation for per cent values as suggested by (Gomez and Gomez, 1976).
DIVERSIFICAZIONE DELLE ATTIVITÀ DELL'IMPRESA QUALE OPPORTUNITÀ PER SUPERARE LE CONSEGUENZE DELL'EPIDEMIA DI COVID-19

Il progetto prevede l'implementazione dell'innovazione di prodotto, di processo e organizzativa, arricchendo l'assortimento dell'azienda con un nuovo prodotto — una maschera viso a tre strati basata su tecnologie innovative. Il tutto sarà supportato da software di gestione della produzione, che porterà la produttività e l'efficienza dell'impresa al livello successivo. In Polonia, dal 16 aprile 2020, è stato introdotto un ordine per coprire la parte inferiore del viso, del naso e della bocca nei luoghi pubblici per ridurre il rischio di infezioni da SARS-CoV-2. Questo ordine è valido fino all'appello. Il Ministero della Salute suggerisce che la necessità di coprire la bocca e il naso continuerà fino a quando il vaccino contro il coronavirus non sarà inventato e commercializzato. Il coronavirus viene trasmesso tramite goccioline — tosse, starnuti o anche una conversazione ravvicinata con una persona infetta. Il virus può penetrare il corpo attraverso il naso, la bocca e gli occhi (direttamente o attraverso il tatto). Indossare maschere protettive riduce questo problema. La produzione di una maschera facciale a tre strati richiede un'infrastruttura tecnica e tecnologica sotto forma di macchine e dispositivi e software all'avanguardia e specializzati. Pertanto, l'oggetto del progetto è: a) acquisto di beni immobili — Linea tecnologica per la produzione di maschere protettive a 3 strati con l'introduzione di filo sul naso e fissaggio ad ultrasuoni di gomme (produzione automatica di corpi maschera x 1, fissaggio automatico di elastici x 4, confezionamento automatico di maschere x 2, sterilizzazione automatica dei raggi UV) e b) acquisto di beni immateriali e legali: licenza di software di gestione della produzione. L'annunciata emergenza pandemica e epidemica, insieme alle misure giuridiche straordinarie adottate, ha portato a restrizioni, che sono il fattore principale che incide sulla condizione delle imprese e sul mercato del lavoro. Misure giuridiche straordinarie hanno ridotto gravemente l'attività economica delle imprese che provocano effetti negativi sulle attività commerciali
Operando chemical space- and time-resolved quantification of solid electrolyte interphase in hard carbon anode for sustainable sodium-ion batteries

The goal of REALSEI is to visualize for the first time in real-time the Solid Electrolyte Interphase formation at the hard-carbon (HC) anode in a Na-ion battery (NIB). Local electrochemical processes occurring at the solid-liquid interface of Na-ion batteries are currently largely unexplored. To keep global warming around 2.7°C by 2100, the installed global grid energy storage capacity needs to be tripled by 2050. A technological breakthrough is required to meet this challenge: we need a low cost and sustainable alternative to Li-ion batteries. Thanks to recent advances, the so-called ‘beyond-lithium’ batteries (BLB) such as K+ and Na+ based systems could be an everyday reality. Bio-waste mesoporous hard carbon (BHC) is one of the most promising anode materials as a universal ion host for BLBs. The use of BHC as a low-cost and recycled solution in BLBs might provide the breakthrough required and give rise to the next generation of batteries. However, uncontrolled SEI formation limits the large-scale application of BHC in BLBs, in particular for Na-ion batteries (NIBs), the most mature and promising. For NIBs, the SEI is still an unresolved issue that limits its long-term stability. REALSEI wants to establish a comprehensive operando time- and space- resolved characterization methodology to transit from bulk (transmission mode) to surface analytical characterization (grazing incidence mode) based on lab and synchrotron high-resolution X-ray techniques which will results for the first time in a comprehensive visualization and quantification of the species forming the SEI in real-time on HC. REALSEI will apply principles of physics and electrochemistry and its results will have substantial scientific, technological, and societal impact.
Circular Innovation and Resilient City Labs in the Adrion Region

Promotion of circular economy (from cradle to cradle,instead of linear model from cradle to grave) is foundation of effective models of good waste management/recycling.

In CIRCLE’s territories is also a great opportunity both for environmental remediation and mitigation of climate change as well as for creation of new green businesses/jobs.

Indeed, although circular economy concept is widely promoted by EU&scientists,it still remains a broad concept, its boundaries are very wide,its compactness and practical viability are still far from being fully perceived by institutions,economic actors and local communities.

CIRCLE, therefore, aims at increasing and spread knowledge on practical viability of circular economy principles,through a collaborative approach involving innovation producers business actors,administrative and financial organisms as well as civil society within urban areas, where biggest amount of waste is produced but also places where innovative models can be implemented.

To achieve these results, CIRCLE will plan&develop Circular Innovation Resilient Cities Labs,through which to design&test circular models focused on 4 pilot fields that will be jointly developed by PPs:

1) Industrial symbiosis, namely waste materials becoming usable materials for others.

2) Organic wastes: they can largely be re-used for various applications,like bio-fuels.

3) Electronic wastes: a lot of valuable materials (for example copper)got from these types of wastes can be re-used.

4) Demolition wastes, from which recycled aggregates, recycled feed,re-used bricks, plastic-board are obtainable.

Main outputs are: a transnational strategy to design&set up CIRCLABs;a transnational action plan to implement pilot actions; a CIRCLabs network.A transnational approach is needed because it allows exchange& share of experiences and joint research of new innovative approaches. CIRCLabs are an absolute novelty in ADRION region,within wider EUSAIR strategy.

Commercial feasibility of the novio-plaingel: a novel synthetic,  reversible thermosensitive, biomimetic hydrogel for organoid-based precision medicine

Noviocell BV is a highly innovative biotechnology company and builds upon its proprietary polyisocyanopeptide (PIC) hydrogel. This is a novel synthetic, reversible thermosensitive hydrogel for 3D cell culturing. PIC hydrogels uniquely perform like a natural biomaterial, while being fully reversible thermo-sensitive, which allows for ease of cell/tissue recovery and easy downstream processing after culturing. In addition, PIC hydrogel has a unique combination of bio-functionality and biomechanics that makes them excellent matrices for 3D stem cell culture. 
During OPTIMIsE, Noviocell BV will investigate the technical and commercial feasibility of using the PIC hydrogel as a platform for the clinical use of organoids (mini organs ex vivo). The use of organoids in a clinical set-up has the potential to open up unique possibilities for precision medicine, as it can facilitate organoid-based drug testing and provide disease specific models. However, their clinical use is currently hampered because of batch-to-batch variability, sub-optimal extracellular matrix,  small scale production and the risk of immunologic response and pathogen transmission (as they cultured in Matrigel which a basement membrane extract from mouse sarcoma). The PIC hydrogel, due to its unique characteristic, can address these unmet needs and facilitate the use of organoids for personalised medicine. 
The validation of  PIC hydrogel initially as the best hydrogel for growing organoids (using pancreatic organoids as a proof of concept) and at a later stage as a diagnostic platform in clinics will spur the profitability and growth performance of Noviocell BV. It is estimated that within 5 years after market introduction of the PIC hydrogel, Noviocell BV will have cumulative revenues of >€40,7 million (only in the pancreatic cancer market). These revenues will exponentially increase when the PIC hydrogel will become the standard material for growing organoids.
Disentangling Cryptic Species in the Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. and M. siccus (Schwein.) Fr. Species Complexes (Agaricales, Basidiomycota)

Démêler les espèces cryptiques dans les complexes d'espèces Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. et M. siccus (Schwein.) Fr. (Agaricales, Basidiomycota). Marasmius haematocephalus (Mont.) Fr. et M. siccus (Schwein.) Fr. (ser. Haematocephali) ont été respectivement décrits du sud-est du Brésil et de l'est des États-Unis, signalés par la suite comme pantropicaux et pantempérés. Dans des études phylogénétiques récentes, ils semblent étroitement liés dans leurs concepts généraux et au moins M. haematocephalus est suggéré comme un complexe d'espèces. Nous avons cherché à déterminer ici si M. haematocephalus est ou non pantropical et si M. siccus est ou non pantempéré. Les phylogénies combinées nrITS + nrLSU et nrITS + rpb2 + ef1-α ont été reconstruites dans les analyses de vraisemblance maximale et bayésiennes et intégrées avec des données morphologiques détaillées. Les résultats ont indiqué que M. haematocephalus ‘sensu stricto’ (s. str.) n’est pas pantropical mais tout au plus néotropical, avec des espèces proches en Afrique tropicale et en Indo-Malaisie. De façon similaire, M. siccus s. str. est tout au plus néarctique, avec des espèces proches dans le paléarctique tempéré. Pour l’instant, on peut reconnaître environ 23 espèces dans les complexes M. haematocephalus et M. siccus, dont quatre sont décrites ici comme nouvelles.
Collision free and permutation invariant formation control using the root locus principle

In this paper, permutation invariant and collision free trajectories for a formation control problem are generated by using the root locus principle. A polynomial based representation space of multiple robots in two dimensional space is proposed, and the invariant properties in this space are analyzed. The formation control problem is solved in the representation space. A set of permutation invariant trajectories is generated by the generalized root locus dynamics. This method can be realized without the knowledge of global coordinates, but only with the local interaction between robots. In addition, the generalized root locus principle gives one degree of freedom to choose a different assignment in the formation. At the end, an example of permutation invariant safe control is provided.
Pediatric patients' orthodontic treatment need, quality of life, and smiling patterns - an analysis of patient, parent, and provider responses

The objectives of this study is to explore the relationship between pediatric patients' orthodontic treatment need, the patients' assessments of their smile-related quality of life (QoL), their parents' proxy assessment of their child's QoL and own assessments of their child's smile, and the patients' objectively assessed smiling patterns.Survey data were collected from 102 patients (53 boys/49 girls; age range: 9-13 years) and their parents. Orthodontic treatment need was assessed with the Index of Complexity, Outcome, and Need (ICON). Smiling patterns were determined by videotaping patients' smiles while they watched a cartoon. Thirty predetermined sections of these tapes were then assessed by two independent raters to measure the patients' smiling patterns.The aesthetic component and total ICON scores correlated with the patients' smile-related QoL (r = 0.25; P = 0.014/r = 0.23; P = 0.024), parental proxy assessments of the child's smile-related QoL (r = 0.29; P= 0.004/r = 0.26; P= 0.009), the parents' own assessments of their child's smile (r= 0.32; P= 0.002/ r = 0.29; P = 0.005), and the number of negative adjectives chosen by the parents to describe their child's smile (r= 0.32; P = 0.002/r = 0.30; P = 0.004). Although the smiling patterns were correlated with the patients' smile-related QoL responses (height of smile: r = 0.29; P = 0.005/number of teeth shown: r = 0.30; P = 0.004), the ICON scores were not correlated with the patients' smiling patterns.Objectively assessed orthodontic treatment need correlates with the patients' and parents' assessments of the child's smile-related QoL scores. However, while objective smiling patterns are related with the patients' smile-related QoL, they are not correlated with the patients' orthodontic treatment need.
