GENE, ARS-R ANCHORAGE CASSETTE, ARS-R EXPRESSION- ANCHORAGE CASSETTE, RECOMBINANT PLASMID, BACTERIAL TRANSGENIC LINEAGE, USE OF SAID GENE, USE OF SAID LINEAGE IN ENVIRONMENTAL BIOREMEDIATION PROCESSES

The present invention relates to the construction and insertion of a DNA plasmid vector of broad spectrum for Gram-negative bacteria, that carries a gene sequence which, when expressed, enables the anchorage of a chelating protein for arsenic ions on the Gram-negative bacteria cellular surface. For that end, the structural sequence of the regulatory arsR gene without stop codon (SEQ ID N° 1 ) was amplified by Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) using as a template the chromosome 1 of Cupriavidus metallidurans, CH34 lineage and inserted into the pGEM-T cloning vector, yielding the pGEMT-As plasmid (SEQ ID N° 2). The expression vector containing the sequence encoding the cassette for the expression and anchoring of heterologous proteins in Gram-negative bacteria, under the control of the pan promoter (SEQ. ID N° 3), was obtained upon digestion of the pCM-Hg plasmid with Xbal and Sa/I restriction enzymes. The arsR gene was released from the pGEMT-As plasmid by digestion with Xba\ and Sa/I restriction enzymes and then ligated to the linearized expression vector, called pCM (SEQ. ID N° 4), resulting in the construction of the pCM-As plasmid (SEQ ID N° 5). Additionally, the present invention provides recombinant strains of Gram-negative bacteria containing said recombinant plasmid, method of production, use of the recombinant plasmid to enhance bacterial arsenic resistance and capability to adsorb arsenic ions, as well as the use of the transgenic strains for the adsorption of arsenic ions in environmental bioremediation processes, with the possibility of recovering the metalloid as a byproduct.
VEHICLE HAVING A VENTILATION DEVICE

The invention relates to a vehicle (F) having a ventilation device (10), the vehicle comprising: a firewall (SW) disposed in a front portion (FA) of the vehicle (F), for separating an interior (IR) of the vehicle (F) from an engine compartment (MR) of the vehicle (F), which are mutually adjacent with respect to a vehicle longitudinal center axis (FLA); at least one suspension strut dome (FD) disposed laterally with respect to the vehicle longitudinal center axis (FLA) in the engine compartment (MR) of the vehicle (F); and a ventilation device (10), which is disposed in the front portion (FA) of the vehicle (F) and has: - an air distribution unit (12) designed to distribute air (TL), more particularly temperature-controlled air, into the interior (IR) of the vehicle (F); - a fan filter unit (14) designed to feed air to the air distribution unit (12); and - a fresh-air intake unit (16), through which fresh air (FL) can be fed from the engine compartment (MR) to the air distribution unit (12) by means of the fan filter unit (14). The air distribution unit (12) and the fan filter unit (14) are disposed on the side of the firewall (SW) facing the interior (IR), and the fresh-air intake unit (16) is disposed on the side of the firewall (SW) facing the engine compartment (MR). According to the invention, the fresh-air intake unit (16) is disposed on the side of the firewall (SW) facing the engine compartment (MR) in such a way that the fresh-air intake unit is disposed next to the suspension strut dome (FD) in the vehicle transverse direction (FRQ) such that the fresh-air intake unit is closer to the vehicle longitudinal center axis (FLA) than the suspension strut dome (FD) is.
Pathways to heritage: community heritage and  the archaeology of movement in the adelphi forest, cyprus

PATH is an exploration of heritage, viewed as an active process where the past is remade in the present. Even in the 21st century, archaeological projects impose research questions and methods onto rural landscapes while offering little to those communities who inhabit them. These communities, however, have their own interests, histories and needs, particularly when they face economic and social pressures like depopulation and a changing resource base. As in many such rural communities, the voices of the inhabitants of Nikitari, on the edge of the Adelphi State Forest in Cyprus, are absent from the national heritage, in spite of a nearby World Heritage site and a recent major archaeological project in the area. Why? PATH seeks to answer this question through focusing on the archaeology and heritage of Nikitari’s pathways.
          PATH builds on the Fellow’s research with indigenous communities in British Columbia, Canada, that used community-based participatory research (CBPR) methods to document the heritage value of a 19th century wagon road. This was part of a larger community initiative to reconnect people to their land and identity. PATH’s innovation lies in its ability to transfer and adapt these methods to a new Mediterranean context to ask: what are the dynamics of heritage formation in Cyprus? Can giving voice to local heritage empower community members? PATH’s legacy will extend to other rural settlements in Cyprus and Europe facing challenges of depopulation and under-development. 
         The Fellow will bring to the host organization a unique combination of extensive archaeological fieldwork experience in Cyprus and community-based research with a First Nations group in Canada. One of the greatest benefits of this fellowship will be mobilizing this expertise to develop a world-class knowledge base and advanced techniques for designing and facilitating CBPR projects on local heritage that can be applied across Europe.
Engaging employers from public bodies in establishing sustainable mobility and mobility planning

How much effort it costs to get one person shifted from car use to sustainable transport? What or who is catalyser of such behavior change? Team composed of city representatives, sustainable mobility specialists, environmental and regional agencies/NGOs set up cooperation to start project MOVECIT. It addresses challenge of arising number of individual motorized transportation. Employees of city public institutions are responsible for development of city, why couldn´t cities’ authorities be responsible for own travel commuting habits and impact on low carbon environment? Around 13 public instit. will become frontrunners in implementing own institutional mobility plans and therefore be responsible for travel commuting habits of employees and their business trip. By trendy campaigns to popularize cycling, walking, use of public transport and introduction of carsharing, bikesharing, e-mobility and improving carpool of city hall project strives to increase people´s perception of sustainable transport as mainstream approach and common lifestyle. Choice of employees of city hall and city public institutions in CE region is not random: city halls employ hundreds of commuters whose commuting habits are often linked with suburbanization and need for mounting daily commuting. But what are their sustainable options for commuting and what role plays city in providing them? Taking into account that majority of trips are headed to school or work, main objective of MOVECIT is pretty clear-to influence mobility behavior of city halls’ and public institutions’ employees which are project’s main target group. Finally city’s representatives will be addressed to identify themselves with long-term sustainable mobility plan to become flagships for other cities where new uniform tool for institutional plan will serve as practical solution for tackling urban sprawl generating CO2 emissions. By this we can save up to 800t of CO2 among employees and with sustained business trips.

Knowledge Modeling and Solving Strategy for Product Innovation Design

Knowledge modeling and solving strategy are the key techniques of improving the innovation design ability of a complex product with design knowledge system. Aiming at a formal expression of product behavior knowledge, generalized variables are introduced from the bond graph theory. The attributes of motion behavior are used to realize the unity of dynamic behavior and static behavior. The ontology model of product design function, behavior, structure knowledge is constructed with the six-tuple structure. With the breadth first search FBS ontology mapping strategy, product design is realized by searching within product design knowledge base according to the name similarity. For the new function introduced by new demand in product design, concept learning based on variant space is proposed to get the general function unit or special function unit. Then the innovation design is realized through FBS ontology mapping strategy. The validity of the proposed method is verified by example of innovation design of multi-wire diamond saw.
Self-Reconfiguration of a robotic workcell for the recycling of electronic waste

Currently industrial robots perform rigidly programmed tasks in highly-constrained settings. Any change in product or process requires costly restructuring of hardware and software. ReconCycle will address these issues by introducing the concept of robotic self-reconfiguration in the largely unconstrained domain of electronic waste recycling, which is still dominated by manual labor. Automation in this sector can benefit from the fact that very large batches of the same device type are to be processed but with some model differences and showing different states of damage. To be able to deal with each of these individual models, the robotic system requires flexible adaptation. Thus, the scientific objective of ReconCycle is to introduce in this sector self-reconfigurable hardware and software based on a reconfigurable robotic cell developed in a previous project. A two-step procedure is foreseen: When changing from one device-type to another, reconfiguration shall be performed in an interactive mode, where the application-engineer will be able to provide input. But, when changing from one device-model to another within a given device-type, the cell shall perform re-configuration on its own through a combination of sensorimotor learning approaches and other AI techniques. This constitutes the main novel scientific contributions of ReconCycle and is aimed at advancing our understanding of robotic perception-action processes in unconstrained industrial settings. We will use highly compliant soft robots and end-effectors, allowing humans to operate together with the machines to complete any missing steps. This reduces automation complexity and brings this project into a feasible regime for up to TRL 6. Electronic waste recycling is an important and strongly growing economic and environmental sector. The industrial objective of ReconCycle is to introduce here a much-increased level of automation resulting in a potentially high long-term impact on industry and society.
DEVICE AT AUTOMATIC MARKING OF CONTINUOUSLY ADVANCED TREE STEMS

The invention relates to a device for preventing length measuring errors resulting from accidentally remaining local offshoots from a portion of the butt end of a tree stem which is continuously advanced toward a cross-cutting member for cutting the stem in predetermined length sections. A stemmeasuring device periodically emits a cutting impluse to the cross-cutting member so that the advancing stem will be cut into predtermined lengths. Two detectors are provided in a spaced relationship for sensing the entering of the butt end into a detecting station and then emitting an actuating signal to start the measuring device. The spacing of the two detectors, which are symmetrically positioned with respect to the centerline of the stem path, does not exceed a predetermined minimum butt diameter. The measuring device is not actuated until signals from both detectors are emitted. Thus, sensing of a local offshoot from the butt end by only one of the detectors does not start the measuring device with the result that the offshoot does not cause a shorter-than-desired length of stem.
High-Quality graphene dispersion in water for anti-corrosion applications

Corrosion has been a perennial issue of concern for the metal industries, especially steel. Non-ferrous metal-based coatings are well known pre-treatments but due to environmental concerns and legislations (i.e. REACH), their use has been drastically restricted. The industrial community, pushed by these legislations, has been long demanding an economically viable and eco-friendly pre-treatment coating alternative, without having to compromise on the durability and corrosion performance of the overall coating system. With its outstanding properties, graphene appears as a promising alternative for non-ferrous metals in the coating market, having the potential to provide corrosion protection even when applied in thicknesses of a few nanometers. But the new graphene industry faces still crucial challenges, mainly production cost, quality and consistency. 
Our company, Carbon Waters, has developed a unique, patented, extremely controllable technique of chemical super-exfoliation to produce GRAPHENE WATER, which consists on dispersing few-layer graphene in water, without using additives and at a competitive cost. Its advantages face to competitors are unprecedented: our high-quality graphene dispersion allows for a stabilized, safe, homogeneous effect on the treated surfaces, ensuring optimum performance. Within this project, we aim to bring our current developments on graphene based anti-corrosive coatings to industrial applications and market readiness (TRL9). With GRAPHENE WATER, Carbon Waters will provide to the EU metal industries an eco-friendly alternative for surface protection, allowing them to commit with the regulatory framework without jeopardizing cost-competitiveness. Exploiting this technology, we aim to become a reference in the field of carbon-based nanomaterial products with expected income reaching €27.7 million cumulated revenues and +40 additional staff by 2025.
Are there rules to the game? patterns of genome evolution in paleopolyploid plants

Polyploidy events (i.e. the process of genome doubling that gives rise to organisms with multiple sets of chromosomes) have had a strong impact on land plants diversification, adaptation and speciation. Genomic investigations have found that polyploidy is ubiquitous among angiosperms and have identified independent lineage-specific ancient polyploidizations. Traces of these polyploidy events are still present, although duplication events are followed by massive gene loss and chromosome structural rearrangements. However, the mechanisms/principles that govern these genomic changes following polyploidization are still poorly understood. Our project aims to overcome this limitation by analyzing genomic changes following polyploidization in three plant families among which two are of particular agricultural and economical importance. Specifically I will test if common mechanisms (e.g. presence of repetitive elements) are involved in chromosomal rearrangements. I will combine physical mapping approaches (molecular cytogenetic and optical mapping) and sequence analysis to characterize and compare genomic collinearity (synteny) between genomes of Brassicaceae, Cleomaceae and Solanaceae species. This work will improve our understanding of genome evolution by looking mechanisms of chromosomal changes and will improve synteny analysis between model plants such as Arabidopsis and more distant crops for homolog identification.
Interaction of Ag with the Si(111)1×1–H surface

Abstract Synchrotron radiation based photoemission spectroscopy (SRPES) and low energy electron diffraction (LEED) are used to study the interaction between Ag atoms and the Si(1 1 1)1 × 1–H surface. At an Ag coverage of 0.063 monolayers (ML) on the Si(1 1 1)1 × 1–H surface, the Si 2p component corresponding to Si–H bonds decreases, and an additional Si 2p component appears which shifts to a lower binding energy by 109 meV with respect to the Si bulk peak. The new Si 2p component is also observed for 0.25 ML Ag on the Si(1 1 1)7 × 7 surface. These findings suggest that Ag atoms replace the H atoms of the Si(1 1 1)1 × 1–H surface and form direct Ag–Si bonds. Contrary to the widely accepted view that there is no chemical interaction between Ag particles and the H-passivated Si surface, these results are in good agreement with recent first-principles calculations.
Evaluation ofo-cresol degradation potential by a strain ofPseudomonas aeruginosaS8

AbstractThe aim of this study was to evaluate the potential of a selected Pseudomonas aeruginosa strain (strain S8) isolated from an Algerian soil to degrade o-cresol in water. This strain was used to study the biodegradation of o-cresol in batch aerobic experiments under variable pH values, heavy metals ions (Zn2+, Cd2+ and Cu2+) and NaCl concentrations. The results showed that P. aeruginosa S8 strain has a high o-cresol biodegradation potential; it could degrade completely 1250 mg L−1 o-cresol within 85 h. Furthermore, o-cresol biodegradation potential of the strain was slightly affected by alkalinity (pH 9), presence of heavy metals and salinity (NaCl). Growth kinetics and degradation activity data obtained for the concentrations ranging between 250–1250 mg L−1 fitted well to Andrews growth kinetic model with a coefficient of determination (R2) higher than 0.99. Due to its high o-cresol biodegradation potential and its relative tolerance to alkalinity, salinity and heavy metals, the strain S8 seems to ...

Risk of Toxocara canis eggs in stray and domestic dog hair in Egypt

The aim of the study was to assess whether the hair of stray and domestic dogs in Egypt was contaminated with the eggs of the zoonotic parasite Toxocara canis, and also to identify risk factors for T. canis for contamination. Paired samples of hair and feces were collected from 53 stray and 47 domestic dogs, and hair samples were obtained from a further 11 stray and 9 domestic dogs. All samples were examined to identify T. canis eggs and, if eggs were found, their maturation stage. Eggs were identified in 26.6% of stray and 10.7% of domestic dog's hair samples. A significantly increased risk of embryonated T. canis eggs in hair samples was found in stray dogs (p=0.04), stray dogs had 3.18 (95% CI: 1.04-9.74) times the odds of having T. canis eggs present compared with domestic dogs. There was also a significant difference (p=0.02) between the mean quantity of eggs per gram in stray (77.6±6.54) and domestic (48.7±6.65) dog's hair. Fecal examination found a T. canis egg prevalence of 35.8% and 21.3% in stray and domestic dogs, respectively. As no domestic dogs which were positive from hair samples had negative fecal samples, this indicates that the presence of T. canis eggs in hair is probably due to self contamination. Two stray dogs had positive hair samples but negative fecal samples indicating that contamination may also be environmental. As both non-embryonated and embryonated T. canis eggs were found in the hair of domestic dogs, direct contact with dogs may be a potential risk factor for transmission of T. canis eggs to humans.
COVALENT MODIFICATION OF RNA FOR IN VITRO AND IN VIVO DELIVERY

The post-synthetic modification of RNA for the delivery of the RNA to a mammalian cell is described. The modifications enhance resistant of the RNA to nuclease digestion and delivery of the RNA to the cell whether the RNA is delivered alone or in combination with a transfection agent. Activity of the RNA in the cell is maintained.
Cognitive Capitalism

Traditional economic theories stress the relevance of political, institutional, geographic, and historical factors for economic growth. In contrast, human-capital theories suggest that peoples’ competences, mediated by technological progress, are the deciding factor in a nation’s wealth. Using three large-scale assessments, we calculated cognitive-competence sums for the mean and for upper- and lower-level groups for 90 countries and compared the influence of each group’s intellectual ability on gross domestic product. In our cross-national analyses, we applied different statistical methods (path analyses, bootstrapping) and measures developed by different research groups to various country samples and historical periods. Our results underscore the decisive relevance of cognitive ability—particularly of an intellectual class with high cognitive ability and accomplishments in science, technology, engineering, and math—for national wealth. Furthermore, this group’s cognitive ability predicts the quality of economic and political institutions, which further determines the economic affluence of the nation. Cognitive resources enable the evolution of capitalism and the rise of wealth.
Randomized source coding with limited common randomness

We study a Shannon-theoretic version of the so-called distribution preserving quantization problem. In this problem, a stationary and memoryless source is encoded under a distortion constraint with the additional requirement that the reproduction also be stationary and memoryless with a given law (which may be different from the source distribution). The encoder and decoder are stochastic and assumed to have access to common randomness which is independent of the source. Recent work has obtained the minimum achievable coding rate for a given distortion level under the assumption that unlimited common randomness is available. Here we consider the general case where the available common randomness may be limited. Our main result completely characterizes the set of achievable coding and common randomness rate pairs at any distortion level, thereby providing the optimal tradeoff between these two rate quantities. Connections with recent work by Cuff on distributed channel synthesis are also discussed.
