Within the framework of international collaboration, the E.I. Martsinovsky Institute of Medical Parasitology and Tropical Medicine (IMPTM), I.M. Sechenov First Moscow State Medical University, assisted the Public Health System of the Republic of Guinea in detecting, diagnosing, studying, and preventing tropical infections of viral, bacterial, and parasitic etiologies, and in training national scientific manpower. The work was under way in the Soviet-Guinea Research Microbiology and Virology Laboratory, USSR Ministry of Health, in the Republic of Guinea (now the Pasteur Institute in Guinea (PIG)) in 1978-1991. The circulation of pathogens of a number of tropical infections, the fauna of vectors and carriers of transmissible infections, and their involvement of the circulation of pathogens of these diseases were found in this period. Consultative-and-methodological and medical assistance was given; national higher- and middle-level brainpower trained. It is expedient to restore scientific ties between the IMPTM and the PIG.
Effect of Inclusion of Ginger (Zingiber officinale) Waste Meal in the Diet on Broiler Performance

A study was conducted to find out the effect of supplementation of ginger waste meal on growth performance and carcass characteristics in broiler chicken for 7 weeks. Two hundred forty day old coloured synthetic broiler chicks of either sex were distributed randomly in 4 dietary treatments. Each treatment group had 3 replicates with 20 chicks each. The birds in treatment T1 were given standard ration while ginger waste meal was included @ 5, 10 and 15% in treatments T1, T2 and T3, respectively. Inclusion of ginger waste meal in the diets upto 15% resulted in higher (P<0.05) body weight gain and feed consumption compared to control group, however, feed conversion ratio and carcass characteristics were similar in all the groups.
POLYURETHANE GASKETS AND PROCESS FOR FORMING SAME

A method of forming a seal includes preparing a froth from a one component polyurethane precursor, applying the froth to a surface of an article, and simultaneously applying water with the froth, the froth curing to form a gasket having a density not greater than 350 kg/m3 bonded to the article.
Water dimer and the atmospheric continuum

The physical origin of humidity-related atmospheric continuum absorption is examined. The existence of double water molecules (dimers) in equilibrium water vapor at room temperature is proved by direct spectroscopic experiments supported by ab initio calculations. It is demonstrated that diluting water vapor with air does not significantly reduce the abundance of dimers. Numerous previous studies have predicted the presence of water dimers in the atmosphere and their influence on chemical reactions, homogeneous condensation, and Earth's radiation balance. Our results provide experimental proof of the presence of dimers in the atmosphere, thus enabling a detailed study of their role in natural processes. Prospects for future research are discussed.

Influence of the duty cycle on structural and mechanical properties of oxide layers on Al-1050 by a plasma electrolytic oxidation process

Oxide layers were prepared on Al-1050 substrates by an environmentally friendly plasma electrolytic oxidation process using an alkaline solution of Na2SiO3 (8 g/L) and NaOH (3 g/L) as the electrolyte. The effects of three different duty cycles (20%, 40%, and 60%) on the structure and hardness of the oxides were investigated. XRD analysis revealed that the oxides were mainly composed of α-Al2O3, γ-Al2O3, and mullite. The proportion of each phase depended on various electrical parameters, such as the duty cycle and frequency. The morphology, thickness, and the elemental distribution of the oxides were examined by scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy. The thicknesses of the oxides were found to vary from 20 μm to more than 60 μm for various duty cycles, when identical treatment durations were used. The oxidation treatment also resulted in good adhesion between the oxide layer and the substrate. SEM images indicated that the oxide layers formed at the 60% duty cycle exhibited relatively coarser surfaces with larger pore sizes and sintering particles, and slower growth rates than did those formed at the 20% duty cycle, under identical treatment durations. The oxides prepared at the 20% duty cycle showed smooth surfaces. The oxides layers were found to improve the micro-hardness of Al-1050. In particular, the oxide layers formed at the 40% duty cycle exhibited relatively better micro-hardness owing to their compact microstructures.

The myth of sovereignty: British immigration control in policy and practice in the nineteen-seventies

This article explores how British immigration control policy was carried out during the nineteen-seventies to filter immigration, while addressing the perceived problem of ‘non-white’ colonial migration. Recently released government documents suggest that the immigration control system should be viewed as a series of inter-connected institutions and actors that operated under the influence of a number of different, and often contradictory, factors. The result of these competing factors was an immigration control system that, relying on the paradoxical whims of the government and other sections of civil society, was restrictive and suspicious towards potential migrants, but at the same time constrained in its behaviour.
Motherboard with additional voltage regulator module slot area and associated electronic module

A motherboard includes a central processing unit (CPU) slot, a voltage regulator module (VRM), a VRM slot area, and a control unit. The VRM is electrically connected to the CPU slot and used for supplying a CPU installed inside the CPU slot with a first power. When a VRM card is inserted into the VRM slot area, the control unit electrically conducts the VRM slot area with the CPU slot so as to make the VRM card and the VRM together supply the CPU installed in the CPU slot with a second power. The second power is greater than the first power.
Boost Environmental Guardianship for Inclusion PLUS

The Begin project carried out between 2018 and 2020 has favored the creation and development of social enterprises for the work inclusion of disadvantaged people in 6 countries - Slovenia, Italy, Croatia, Serbia, Bosnia Herzegovina and Montenegro.

The target social enterprises had a common characteristic, namely a positive environmental impact.
The project led to the generation of 2 outputs:


1. An international network of social enterprises facilitators, for the use of Social Business Models as a tool to stimulate the development of the social economy in the territories


2. Local Action Plan and a General Action Plan, for use by social enterprises facilitators, to promote the creation and development of new social enterprises by startuppers and various stakeholders

Begin PLUS intends to update and develop social enterprise models adapting them to public high schools, thus involving students and teachers in the project.

In particular, the objective is to stimulate the new generations to consider the social economy as a job opportunity in order to encourage them the creation of new social enterprises for work inclusion. For this reason the project wants to adapt the output of Begin n. 1 and the Social Business Models to the school system.

For this reason the project goals are:
-accompanying students and teachers to design and test social enterprise models;
-analyze the results and define a social economy education manual to repeat the experiences in other schools;
-disseminate the manual in other schools, involving teachers as potential facilitators;
-expand Begin&#39;s network of social enterprise facilitators with teachers interested in using the manual.

The project also aims to involve public authorities to encourage the adoption of tools in high schools.

Effects of permafrost thaw on the global nitrogen cycle: the role of thermokarst systems

Global change leads modifications in climate on Arctic regions, where temperatures have risen faster than in any other region on Earth. Those regions store vast amounts of soil organic matter (SOM) in permafrost soils, covering ~25% of terrestrial surface. When they thaw, it leads to rapid release of nutrients and greenhouse gases (GHG). So far, many studies have addressed the importance of permafrost thaw in the carbon cycle. However, little attention has been paid to the nitrogen (N) cycle, despite nitrous oxide (N2O) is a powerful GHG, an ozone-depleting agent and may create an unaccounted permafrost-climate feedback.

Permafrost with low ice content suffers a gradual top-down thawing process during seasonal freeze-thaw period. However, thaw of ice-rich permafrost results in thermokarst processes, which occur abruptly and lead to ground surface collapse. Its widespread occurrence affects large areas (~40% of the northern permafrost region) contributing to develop ecosystems like ponds and lakes. In such ecosystems, the presence of anaerobic environments enhances microbial activity. As Arctic warms, permafrost thaw and thermokarst processes will increase, releasing soluble N into the environment and enhancing microbial decomposition of SOM.

Hence, mineralization, nitrification and denitrification rates are expected to increase, and thus, N2O emissions to the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the impact of permafrost thaw on N cycling remains understudied, and almost unknown in thermokarst systems. 
NITROKARST will explore the underlying mechanisms of the N cycle in thermokarst systems, looking at how microbial pathways promote N transformation and how thawing controls the operation of these processes. N cycling will be studied along a thermokarst transect by combining isotope tracing, metagenomics and microcosm incubations. This multidisciplinary approach will increase our knowledge about the importance of thermokarst-affected permafrost soils in the global N cycle.
Feature-Aware Surface Interpolation of Rooftops Using Low-Density Lidar Data for Photovoltaic Applications

Digital surface models (DSM) are used to estimate the solar irradiation on rooftops. Estimates are more accurate when the precise geometrical characteristics of roofs are well represented in the DSM. The existing DSM covering Switzerland has a low accuracy for buildings. It was derived from a low density Lidar dataset with an average point density of 0.5 points per square meter. In this paper, we present a method to interpolate a DSM from point cloud data focusing on geometric modelling of rooftops. The method uses a combination of robustly fitted planes to local point clouds and inverse distance weighting interpolation. It was applied to roughly 3 million buildings, and compared to a reference DSM from a high density point cloud, which revealed a significant reduction of error compared to the existing DSM.
Human needs and utility maximization

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to provide alternatives to the economic man image of human behavior and incorporate these alternative images which are based on motivational needs into utility analysis. Design/methodology/approach Empirically derived psychological variables define the individual's personality type in terms of an altruistic or non‐altruistic orientation. These variables are incorporated into the individual's utility function, and an analysis is made of utility maximization based on human needs. Findings Behavioral and motivational characteristics of individuals are relatively constant and are a function of the underlying personality traits of the individuals. Empirical support is offered for these characteristics, they are incorporated into the individual's utility function, and an analysis if performed on the interactions between individuals. Originality/value This paper not only goes beyond the economic man image of human behavior to analyze altruistic and selfish behavior but also analyzes the utility functions of both potential donors and recipients.

PHOTODYNAMIC THERAPY FOR CHOROIDAL NEVUS WITH SUBFOVEAL FLUID

To report the efficacy of photodynamic therapy (PDT) for management of choroidal nevus associated with subfoveal fluid.A retrospective chart review of 15 patients with choroidal nevus and associated subfoveal fluid treated with PDT was performed. Standard-fluence PDT was used in all patients and response to treatment was assessed with optical coherence tomography.Complete resolution of subfoveal fluid was achieved in 9 eyes (60%) and partial resolution in 4 eyes (27%); 1 eye (7%) experienced worsening subfoveal fluid, and 1 eye (7%) was stable after PDT. After PDT, visual acuity improved in 8 eyes (53%), was stable in 6 (40%), and worsened in 1 eye (7%). Five patients (33%) required a second session of PDT with a median of 4 months (mean, 9 months; range 2-25 months) between the first and second sessions of PDT.Photodynamic therapy is a safe and effective treatment modality for choroidal nevus with subfoveal fluid. Photodynamic therapy provided satisfactory rates of resolution of subfoveal fluid in 87%, which was complete in 60% and partial in 27%. Further studies could further define the role and limitations of PDT for management of subfoveal fluid from choroidal nevus.
Shared innovation space for sustainable productivity of grasslands in europe

Grasslands are vitally important for European agriculture. The 20 partners of Inno4Grass gather farmers’ organisations, extension services, education and research in eight countries (Germany, Belgium, France, Ireland, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland & Sweden) where grasslands contribute a major share of the agricultural area. The overall objective of the project is to bridge the gap between practice and science to ensure the implementation of innovative systems on productive grasslands to achieve profitability while providing environmental services. The associated animal productions are dairy and beef cattle and sheep.
Inno4Grass will set up a Facilitator Agents network, capture novelties from innovative farms scrutinized via 85 case studies, discuss and synthesize them in electronic farm networks and through cognitive mapping. It will upgrade this capital via multi-actor approaches and science dialogue, transfer innovation capital and boost collaboration and exchanges beyond the borders of regions and among Member States (MS). Dedicated dissemination approaches and events like national and European Wikimedia, decision support systems and grassland awards are designed and applied to convey innovations to practice with highest acceptance by practitioners and beyond the project term. Inno4Grass will ensure delivery and training of grassland knowledge at operational, tactical and strategic levels for farmers, advisors, and students (specific syllabus, materials for existing MOOCs) and for the value chain mobilizing key actors within the collaborating MS. At least 100 practice abstracts and 104 video clips describing innovative practices will be provided. The project strongly contributes to the implementation of the EIP and many consortium members are involved in their national contact points. This supports the establishment and cross linkage of Operational Groups on grasslands.
Findings with AVC Design for Mitigation of Human Induced Vibrations in Office Floors

In recent years, there have been extensive active vibration control (AVC) studies for the mitigation of human induced vibrations in a series of office floors, in which such vibrations are deemed to be ‘problematic’ and have been found to affect only certain sections of the floors. These floors are predominantly open-plan in layout and comprise of different structural configurations for their respective bays and this influences their dynamic characteristics. Most of the AVC studies have comprised extensive analytical predictions and experimental implementations of different controller schemes. The primary measures of vibration mitigation performance have been by frequency response function (FRF) measurements, responses to controlled walking tests, and in-service monitoring, all tests with and without AVC.
Hrmeg: high-resolution magnetoencephalography: towards non-invasive corticography

To date, neuroimaging has provided a wealth of information on how the human brain works in health and disease. With functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), we can obtain spatially precise information about long-lasting brain activations whereas electro- and magnetoencephalography (EEG/MEG) can track transient cortical responses at millisecond resolution. However, none of these methods excel in time-resolved detection of sustained cortical activations, which are typically reflected as bursts of gamma-range (30–150 Hz) oscillations, frequently present in invasive recordings in patients. Although we have recently demonstrated that in exceptional situations MEG can detect even single gamma responses, their signal-to-noise ratio is usually prohibitively low, largely due to the substantial distance (4–5 cm) between cortex and sensors. Here, I propose to exploit recent advances in a novel magnetic sensor technology—atomic magnetometry—to construct a new kind of MEG system that allows capturing cerebral magnetic fields within millimetres from the scalp. Our simulations show that this proximity leads up to a 5-fold increase in the signal amplitude and an order-of-magnitude improvement of spatial resolution compared to conventional MEG. Therefore, a high-resolution MEG (HRMEG) system based on atomic magnetometers should enable non-invasive recordings of cortical activity at unprecedented sensitivity and detail level, which I propose to capitalize on by characterizing cortical responses, particularly gamma oscillations, during complex cognitive tasks. Additionally, since atomic magnetometers can recover within milliseconds from fields of several tesla, I also propose to combine transcranial magnetic stimulation (TMS) with MEG, leveraging the reciprocity of TMS and MEG and thus allowing better-than-ever characterization of TMS-evoked responses. This proposal comprises the research towards a HRMEG system and its application to study the working human brain in a new way.
Principles of musical structure building: theory, computation, and cognition

Music is a central human trait across all cultures and historical periods, involving a great rich variety of parameters, cognitive processes, and forms of structure building. The proposed project aims at advancing the understanding of human cognition and, specifically, the capacity to represent and process complex auditory sequences and syntactic structures by exploring the rich potential of music perception.
Building on the PI’s previous work, this interdisciplinary research programme will be divided into three core strands:
(A) The theoretical strand will be devoted to the investigation of formal principles that govern musical syntax and structure building in Western and non-Western music. Many current approaches share the expressive power of (tree-based) context-free grammars and are mostly confined to harmonic syntax only. Therefore, they face difficulty in expressing certain crucial syntactic phenomena in music. To address this lacuna, the theoretical strand will develop a novel unified theory of musical syntax that exceeds context-free complexity and reconciles harmonic structure with the constraints of voice leading within a single coherent framework.
(B) Addressing the lack of machine-readable corpora in music research, a large corpus of digitized syntactic analyses will be compiled and published in the context of the project’s computational strand. Further, the unified syntax theory will be implemented based on a generalized parsing approach and graph grammars, and trained and evaluated using the analytical corpus. 
(C) The formal framework developed in (A) entails specific predictions about mental representations of musical structure that will be empirically tested in the experimental strand of the project. Particular focus will be on aspects of nonlocal dependency relations, learnability, revision, and tension. 
The outcomes of the project will make a significant contribution to both the field of music cognition and to the cognitive sciences in general.
