Influence of insecticide resistance, wolbachia and their interaction on chikungunya transmission

Vector-borne diseases represent one of the greatest public health challenges. Their incidence and their geographical range have dramatically increased over the past several decades. Due to the lack of protective vaccines, the control of transmission by targeting the mosquito vectors is the only affordable measure. However, mosquito vectors experience a very intense selective pressure from insecticides, which has led ultimately to the selection of insecticide resistance in many vector species. Alternative control strategies that are species-specific and environmentally friendly are being developed. Among them, the use of the symbiotic bacteria Wolbachia as sterilizing agent of mosquito populations through the incompatible insect technique (IIT) appears promising. Furthermore, it was shown that insecticides as well as Wolbachia can affect the infection of mosquitoes by pathogens, and thus their transmission. An important question is how mosquitoes' adaptations to insecticides and to Wolbachia influence the vector competence for pathogens? This proposal addresses this question in the context of the emergence of Chikungunya worldwide in order to sustainably control its transmission with current and prospective vector control tools. It addresses in particular the question whether there are any interactions between insecticide resistance and symbiotic Wolbachia infection that might significantly affect the vector competence of Aedes albopictus for Chikungunya virus. Characterizing the genes likely involved in vector competence and how they can be modulated to alter this trait will provide valuable data for management of transmission control strategies. It will allow a more rational use of insecticides, as well as the development of alternative control methods based on Wolbachia; both approaches are crucial in the context of widespread insecticide resistance.

A social application, which helps to generate ideas, solve problems while using the cyber-space and cyber-society

Be-novative Platform was developed to harness the collective intelligence of organizations while motivate employees to share high-impact ideas, evaluate them and manage the full cycle of the implementation process. By further development of our web-based application and smart phone applications we are going to reach wider spectrum of organizations (SMEs and Non-profits) and potential user crowd (both employees, members of non-profits and university students) while creating a platform that has a global impact on existing innovation management by crowdsourcing creativity, gamification and problem solving.
Before commencing the latest and future developments of Be-novative Platform, we see the space to carry out a study to ensure the developed platform will contain those features that will satisfy existing and attract future users from SMEs, non-profits and talented university students. The study will confirm our developments follow the best direction and has the right methodology for visionaries. Our experts, with help of external technical and market consultants, have identified points to be clarified before submitting a phase 2 application with great confidence and set the following objectives to address in phase 1.
A feasibility study will be developed verifying the practical as well as economic viability. The activities comprise market study, multiple round user involvement and evaluation of results, Intellectual Property (IP) management, partner search for our Ambassador Program and finally technical feasibility of user experience concept. We are addressing to explore further bottlenecks in the ability to increase profitability of Be-novative in the phase 1 action and address them in a phase 2 project. We would further improve to facilitate the take up of results from the phase 1 and later the planned phase 2 actions. The outcome of the project will be a better understanding of the European SMEs and non-profits need regarding the Open Innovation Management, an ev
A deterministic model of the free will phenomenon

The abstract concept of indeterministic free will is distinguished from the phenomenon of free will. Evidence for the abstract concept is examined and critically compared with various designs of automata. It is concluded that there is no evidence to support the abstract concept of indeterministic free will, it is inconceivable that a test could be constructed to distinguish an indeterministic agent from a complicated automaton. Testing the free will of an alien visitor is introduced to separate prejudices about who has free will from objective experiments.  The phenomenon of free will is modelled with a deterministic decision making agent. The agent values ‘independence’ and satisfies a desire for independence by responding to ‘challenges’. When the agent generates challenges internally it will establish a record of being able to do otherwise. In principle a computer could be built with a free will property. The model also explains false attributions of free will (superstitions).
Promoting single cell genomics to explore the ecology and evolution of hidden microeukaryotes

Environmental microbial surveys have revealed a remarkable diversity of microeukaryotic life in most ecosystems, the majority of which had previously escaped detection. From an ecological point of view this work highlighted our ignorance of critical microbial players in natural environmental processes, including primary production, biogeochemical cycling and trophic interactions such as parasitism and grazing. Consequently, our understanding of community function is partial, limiting our ability to study environmental change. While, from an evolutionary perspective, we are missing major components of the Tree of Life giving rise to a fragmented understanding of how major cellular functions have evolved.  Single cell genomics (SCG), including single cell transcriptomics, is an emerging technology that has the potential to retrieve genomic information from individual uncultured microbes recovered directly from natural environments and promises to provide new tools to investigate microeukaryotes in unparalleled detail. The aim of this ITN is therefore to train a new generation of scientists with the highest expertise, in SCG, from the initial stages of cell sorting to genome sequencing and gene annotation, to the full exploitation of the data obtained. Such progress will allow the European research community for the first time to address critical ecological and evolutionary questions. SINGEK will drive training through research by both local and network-wide activities, secondments, and workshops, and by establishing an environment that extends far beyond each partner team. This training environment will also provide the transferable skills essential for successful career development. This network of well connected and highly qualified scientists with expertise in eukaryotic SCG will be ready to implement this technology beyond ecology and evolution to other fields such as biomedicine or biotechnology driving innovation across the EU.
Influence of Color on Perceptual Priming: A Picture Fragment Completion Paradigm

Abstract The role of color in perceptual priming still remains unclear. We investigated the influence of color during the identification of natural images using a perceptual priming paradigm. In a learning phase, two groups of participants were presented with either colored or gray-scaled variants of photos. A control group did not participate in the learning phase. We measured the level of fragmentation by which a stimulus was correctly recognized in a retrieval phase. Results indicate that colored (compared to gray-scaled) stimuli improved subsequent identification performance of colored and gray-scaled stimuli. These findings imply that color enhances the effects of perceptual priming.
Time resolved x-ray probing of matter under extreme conditions

The unique properties of a new type of X-ray source produced by a compact laser-plasma accelerator will be used to probe the ultra-fast dynamics of the electronic structure of matter under extreme conditions.

The TeX-MEx project will study: 1) hot dense matter, such as that found at the centre of the Sun; 2) warm dense matter such as that found at the centre of Jupiter and 3) photo-ionized plasmas far from equilibrium such as is found in the exotic environment of an accretion disk surrounding a black hole. These extreme conditions will be created in the laboratory using 1) direct laser heating, 2) proton heating and laser driven shock heating and 3) intense X-ray pumping using the betatron source itself and the extraordinary X-ray fluxes available with a free electron laser.

Using the unique combination of a few-femtosecond duration and broad spectral coverage that the X-rays produced by a laser wakefield accelerator possess, the TeX-MEx project will explore new physics in each of these regimes.  For example we will be able to directly measure the rates of ionization of hot dense matter for the first time; we will observe the onset of ion motion in warm dense matter and how this affects the electron energy levels; we will make the first observations of non-collisional photo-ionized plasmas. These will allow us to accurately test and develop models used to describe matter under extreme conditions in the laboratory and in astrophysics. 

This integrated program of innovative experiments and new approaches to modeling will open up a new field of femtosecond time-resolved absorption spectroscopy of matter under extreme conditions and will drastically improve our understanding of how matter behaves throughout our Universe. It will, for the first time, bring to our laboratories on Earth the ability to probe some of Nature's most violent processes, to date only hinted at in data from a new generation of astronomical instruments.

The impact of climate change on the uptake of arsenic into rice

Rice is the staple food worldwide. Unfortunately, global rice yield is already falling behind population growth. One of the reasons for this is the presence of toxic arsenic (As) in many South(-East) Asian paddy soils, which is known to decrease rice growth and productivity. The current change in Earth’s climate is known to cause land loss due to desertification and inundation and lower (rice) crop yields, thus, threatening the global food security. According to the highest emission scenario for greenhouse gases presented in the 5th assessment report of the IPCC, global annual temperatures could rise by more than 5°C by the year 2100. How increased temperatures and CO2 concentrations affect As uptake into rice and ultimately the quality and production of rice is unknown and the main research question of this proposal. Rice will be grown in fully controlled growth chambers with elevated temperature and partial pressure of CO2, simulating the cli-mate of the year 2100. Besides determining changes in rice growth and grain yield, the amount of organic and inorganic As in the grain will be determined to assess rice quality. Furthermore, the biogeochemical pro-cesses occurring in the soil and atmosphere during climate change will be investigated and thus, will allow to understand the observed changes in rice yield and quality due to climate change. The amount and speciation of As will be quantified in the soil, plant, and atmosphere. Changes in microbial community abundance and richness will be assessed with modern pyrosequencing techniques. Functional microbial guilds of interest (iron and arsenic metabolizing bacteria) will be assessed by qPCR, pyrosequencing, and clone libraries. Overall, the knowledge obtained within the MSC-GF action on the impact of climate change on As uptake by rice will allow a better risk assessment for productivity of rice in the future and may give ideas for how to prevent a loss in rice yield and quality in a strongly climate impacted future.

A dominância do paradigma tecnológico mecânico-químico-genético nas políticas para o desenvolvimento da bioeconomia na Amazônia (Paper 540)

A difusão de tecnologias agrícolas em franco desenvolvimento na Europa e nos EUA durante o século XIX para regiões tropicais, permeou as relações coloniais e a cooperação internacional no pós-guerra. Em consequência, países com florestas tropicais foram alvos de uma compulsória mudança na base tecnológica da agricultura que para se difundir precisou incorporar terrasaos sistemas de produção. Do ponto de vista tecnológico, tal mudança ocorreu sob forte mediação de um paradigma tecnológico baseado na mecânica, na química e na genética. O artigo restitui os traços gerais da formatação do PMQG na Europa e nos EUA, sua difusão no Brasil e como ele continua a influenciar esforços de pesquisa, financiamento e a elaboração de políticas públicas no âmbito das agendas de bioeconomia dirigidas à Amazônia.Palavras-chave: Amazônia. Agricultura. Bioeconomia. Paradigma Tecnológico.

The complex behaviour of the microquasar GRS 1915+105 in the ρ class observed with BeppoSAX - III. The hard X-ray delay and limit cycle mapping

Context. The microquasar GRS1915+105 was observed by Beppo SAX in October 2000 for about ten days while the source was in ρ mode, which is characterized by a quasi-regular type I bursting activity. Aims. This paper presents a systematic analysis of the delay of the hard and soft X-ray emission at the burst peaks. The lag, also apparent from the comparison of the [1.7–3.4] keV light curves with those in the [6.8–10.2] keV range, is evaluated and studied as a function of time, spectral parameters, and flux.Methods. We apply the limit cycle mapping technique, using as independent variables the count rate and the mean photon rate. The results using this technique were also cross-checked using a more standard approach with the cross-correlation methods. Data are organized in runs, each relative to a continuous observation interval.Results. The detected hard-soft delay changes in the course of the pointing from ~3 s to ~10 s and presents a clear correlation with the baseline count rate.

A drug discovery and target identification screening platform for age-associated neurodegenerative disorders

Battling human neurodegenerative pathologies, and their pervasive societal impact, is a global multi-billion Euro enterprise. Ageing is universally associated with marked decrease of neuronal function and higher susceptibility to neurodegeneration. In human populations, this is manifested as an ever-increasing prevalence of devastating neurodegenerative conditions, including Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s disease, stroke, several ataxias, and other types of dementia. Development of therapeutic interventions against such maladies is becoming a pressing priority. Drug discovery and drug target identification are two intimately linked facets of intervention strategies aimed at effectively combating human disorders. Genes linked to human diseases often function in evolutionary conserved pathways, readily dissected in simple model organisms. Such organisms provide attractive platforms for devising and streamlining efficient drug discovery and target identification methodologies. During the course of the ERC project NeuronAge, we developed a convenient and versatile platform for high-throughput chemical compound screening based on the nematode C. elegans (Nature 521: 525; Nature 490: 213). This innovative platform uniquely combines state-of-the-art microfluidics technologies for imaging and manipulation of neurons in vivo, with the experimental prowess of C. elegans, a highly malleable genetic model, which offers a precisely defined nervous system, two features that are not available in any other organism. We propose to: (1) bring this high-throughput compound screening system to pre-demonstration stage; (2) evaluate its dependability for drug target identification and drug discovery; (3) file US and European patent applications for IPR protection; and (4) identify potential commercialization opportunities. The overarching aim is to facilitate the exploitation of the innovation generated in the context of NeuronAge towards the betterment of human health and quality of life.
