Single molecule analytical raman tools based on dna nanostructures

The monitoring of single molecule reactions promises unrivalled insight into chemical reaction mechanisms, but represents one of the most challenging tasks in chemistry. Surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) is a particularly attractive single molecule (SM) technique due to its high chemical specificity, which allows to directly detect relevant intermediates and molecular subpopulations. However, SM-SERS is still at a premature state due to the highly challenging task to place single molecules precisely in nanoscale gaps of plasmonic nanostructures. These are required to provide sufficiently high electromagnetic field enhancement to reach SM sensitivity. The aim of SMART-DNA is to exploit artificial DNA nanostructures to provide sufficient structural control to assemble both, nanoparticles and target molecules, with nanometer precision. By means of novel DNA origami nanostructures the distance between two nanoparticles will be controlled, and at the same time target molecules will be placed at the positions of highest Raman enhancement through DNA aptamers. 
Apart from Raman enhancement the excitation of the localized surface plasmon resonance of the metallic nanostructures results in other plasmonic effects such as heating and possibly the transfer of hot electrons. This can lead to diffusion, conformational changes or even dissociation of the target molecules. These issues do not only concern SM-SERS, but also make quantitative SERS and the SERS analysis of complex (bio)molecules very challenging. By the improved structural control achieved by SMART-DNA, nanoscale heating and hot electron transfer and their effect on SERS spectra will be studied on an ensemble and a SM level. Finally, reactions induced by plasmonically generated electrons in DNA and DNA modified with electrophilic molecules will be studied by SERS with the aim to develop novel strategies to improve cancer radiation therapies such as the photothermal therapy.
Inteligência geográfica na construção de políticas públicas: rumo à plataforma de monitoramento de áreas verdes urbanas do Estado de São Paulo

Este artigo apresenta o estado da arte de uma plataforma de monitoramento de áreas verdes urbanas − UrbVerde − para municípios do Estado de São Paulo. Sua construção se baseia em Cloud Computing e sensoriamento remoto orbital. Objetiva-se prover métricas de monitoramento das desigualdades socioambientais a partir das escalas municipal e intraurbana, incluindo indicadores de vegetação, temperatura de superfície e sistemas de espaços livres (parques e praças), relacionando-os com dados populacionais agrupados por setores censitários. Constitui-se, assim, uma base de informações acompanháveis e de livre acesso com potencial de aplicação para a construção de políticas públicas, a exemplo do programa Município VerdeAzul. Por meio das ferramentas interativas de análise e correlação de dados, destaca-se o aspecto inter-relacional das variáveis geográficas envolvidas, representando um ganho de inteligência de governança. Além disso, a abordagem utilizada fornece novos olhares sobre a distribuição e a acessibilidade das infraestruturas verdes nos municípios, promovendo a sensibilização dos gestores e uma maior inclusão da população nos processos de tomada de decisão. Deste modo, espera-se, com o apoio de uma tecnologia disruptiva, estimular conjuntamente o processo de suporte à decisão para a retomada verde na Década da Restauração de Ecossistemas (2021-2030), viabilizando o processo de transformação dos municípios em cidades inteligentes e sustentáveis.
Combining ability analysis for yields and it's components in pearlmillet (Pennisetum glaucum L.)

Combining ability analysis for yield and its component traits was undertaken with 6 males sterile line and 10 testers using line x tester analysis. Observation were taken for eleven characters viz. days to 50% flowering, days to maturity, plant height, number of tillers & total effective tillers per plant, 1000 grain weight, number of grains per cm2, ear head girth, ear head length, grain yield per plant and fodder yield per plant. The variance due to males were significant for plant height, number of grains/cm2, ear head length, grain yield/plant and fodder yield/plant. The female variances were significant for all the characters except days to 50% flowering, number of effective tillers/plant and ear head length whereas variance due to crosses were significant for all the characters except 1000 grains weight and number of grains/cm2. These results indicated the presence of substantial variability in the selected materials for study. The estimated components of variance for specific combining ability (SCA) effects were larger in magnitude than the general combining ability (GCA) effects for all the characters, indicating the preponderance of non-additive gene action for these characters. The estimates of GCA effects showed that the parents 418 R and 1358 R were good combiner for all the traits studied except number of grains/cm2 and fodder yield/plant, respectively. The hybrids MS-88004 A x 418 R and MS-863 A x 260 R were found superior with high SCA effects for seven important traits including grain yield as well as fodder yield per plant. Whereas, the crosses namely; MS-98222 A x 1358 R, MS-841 A x UCC-23 R, MS-841 A x 1404 R and MS-94555 A x 268 R registered higher SCA effects for the six important economic traits, including grain yield per plant. These crosses were identified as superior and can be effectively utilized for hybrid breeding programme.

N,N-Diphenyl-4-(1H-pyrrolo[1,2-f][1,10]phenanthrolin-2-yl)aniline ethanol monosolvate

The title compound, C32H21N4·C2H5OH, crystallized as an ethanol monosolvate. In the mol-ecule of this phenanthroline derivative, the pyridine rings are almost coplanar, making a dihedral angle of 1.54 (13)°. The tri-phenyl-amine group, introduced as an electron donor, shows a propeller-type structure, and the dihedral angles between the benzene rings are 68.71 11), 63.92 (16) and 70.81 (15)°. In the crystal, the phenanthroline mol-ecules are linked via the solvent mol-ecule by N-H⋯O, O-H⋯N and C-H⋯O hydrogen bonds, leading to the formation of zigzag chains propagating along [010]. These chains are linked via C-H⋯N hydrogen bonds, forming undulating two-dimensional networks extending in the a- and b-axis directions.
New innovative solutions to adapt governance and management of public infrastructure and services to demographic change in shrinking regions and cities of CE

Shrinking regions and cities are becoming a more and more relevant issue in central Europe. Especially former border regions (Iron curtain) are particularly affected by demographic and social change. On the other hand these regions have large potentials which have to be explored and used. The consequences of demographic change and increasing scarcity of public resources thus require a fundamental review and adjustment of the management and standards of public services and infrastructure in these regions and cities. It has been identified in many studies that demographic change is one of the new global issues that especially central European countries and regions are now facing. Regions need a sufficient framework to be able to share experiences and information and to adapt to the relevant changes in order to be more competitive, more productive and more innovative. The overall goal of ADAPT2DC is to develop transferable strategies for the provision of innovative solutions to restructure the management of services and infrastructure in shrinking regions and cities and thus support the sustainable development of European regions by adapting integrated measures and strategies for regional problems on the transnational level.
Efficient  proofs and computation: a unified algebraic approach

Computational complexity lies at the heart of information and computer science. Its aim is to formally understand the boundary between problems that can be solved efficiently and those that cannot. This has many applications: new algorithms are important to make progress in domains such as machine learning and optimization, and new complexity lower bounds (namely, computational impossibility results) are essential to provably secure cryptography. Beyond practical applications, these questions reveal deep mathematical and natural phenomena. One of the prominent directions to attack the fundamental lower bound questions in complexity comes from the study of resource bounded provability, namely proof complexity. Its aim is to understand which problems possess solutions with short correctness proofs and which do not. Traditionally, proof complexity is concerned with propositional (Boolean) logic, and thus techniques from Boolean function complexity have had a huge impact on the field, driving many of its results and agendas.

In this proposal we suggest to employ recent breakthroughs in the field of proof complexity exploiting algebraic approaches to broaden in a systematic way both the scope and techniques of proof complexity, going from weak settings to the very strong ones, up to the major open problems in the field and beyond. In particular, we propose to use algebraic notions and techniques such as structural algebraic circuit complexity, rank lower bounds, noncommutative and PI algebras, among others to significantly broaden the arsenal of lower bound tools as well as develop new models and insights into proofs, computation and their inter-relations.

This project has potential for a transformative impact in theoretical computer science and beyond, with applications to unconditional computational lower bounds, which underlie secure cryptography and derandomization of probabilistic algorithms, as well as improved SAT- and constraint-solving heuristics.
IPO and Financial News

This paper explores the relation between the sentiment of the media and IPOs underpricing which means whether the media were responsible for the phenomenal rise and fall in the market value of IPOs shares from 2010 to 2014. We focus on the effect of pre-IPOs media on the first day’s return and we use sentiment analysis to calculate the media sentiment and use the sentimental words to classify the news. We found that the sentiment of media is significantly related to initial return. This paper also indicates significantly results that initial return is related to market return than sentiment of media in non-electronics industry. Furthermore, as our expected, the number of positive (negative) news has a positive (negative) influence on the initial return in the electronics industry.
Short range communication system

Short range communication systems and techniques are described. In an implementation an interrogator held near a person interrogates multiple transponders and receives information separately from the transponders. The interrogator and/or the transponders may be held in an article of clothing or in a personal effect of the person. The transponders may transmit identifying information and/or information associated with the states of the articles of clothing or personal effects of the person. Such a system enables the clothes worn by a person to communicate with a plurality of items and obtain useful information. In addition, a network system may be configured so that any particular transponder may communicate with another transponder or group of transponders of other locales to activate functions, cause actions or otherwise share data and/or information.

A european study on effectiveness and sustainability of current cardiac rehabilitation programmes in the elderly

Cardiovascular diseases (CVD) cause over 4 million deaths in Europe each year and mass disability: within the coming decades the disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) estimate is expected to rise from a loss of 85 million DALYs in 1990 to a loss of  150 million DALYs globally in 2020. Moreover, patient numbers are expected to rise rapidly in the next decades, due to an ageing society such that the burden of CVD for both patients and the healthcare sector will further rise.

Cardiac rehabilitation (CR) is recognised as an effective approach for risk reduction and long term care of patients facing cardiovascular diseases (CVD). However, knowledge on CR in the elderly is limited, while tailoring of CR programmes to the elderly is needed. The reasons for this relates to the following aspects: 1) the elderly account for the majority of cardiac admissions and procedures, yet studies on cardiac rehabilitation have traditionally focused on younger patients , 2) many older patients who would derive benefit from CR interventions, do not participate, 3) there is a lack of commitment and adherence to CR within in the older population with only a minority completing the full programme  and 4) a cardiovascular event in elderly patients could be a trigger for disability and dependence. Knowledge is lacking on effective approaches for this specific target group and moreover the specific challenges related to the target group must be addressed.

With the ambition to achieve a breakthrough in cardiac care,  the main objective of EU-CaRE is thus to obtain the evidence base to improve, tailor and optimise CR programmes regarding sustainable effectiveness, cost-effectiveness and participation level in the elderly. This is achieved through an comparative effectiveness analysis of current conventional cardiac rehabilitation programmes (CR), as well as new innovative mobile telemonitoring guided cardiac rehabilitation (mCR). As such, the project addresses the objectives of call PHC 17.

Implementation of the AHP and Benchmarking in Strategic Analysis of Polish Regions

Abstract The quality of strategic management is one of the most important factors determining the course of development processes in territorial units (TU). In the Polish public administration (particularly on the local level), there are several problems associated with maintaining adequate levels of efficiency and effectiveness of management. Here can be mentioned the lack of analysis of a reference position of a TU to the benchmarks. This article refers to this problem. The goal of it is to present a mechanism of the strategic analysis on the example of Polish regions, using the methods of Analytic Hierarchy Process and benchmarking (comparative analysis). Assessing the situation of so called Eastern Poland regions, the areas of competition (markets) were identified and then variables available to assess the competitive position were chosen. On this basis, the situation of individual regions was compared, determining the current competitive position and historical trends.
Costing Human Rights and Community Support Interventions as a Part of Universal Access to HIV Treatment and Care in a Southern African Setting

Expanding access to antiretroviral therapy (ART) has both individual health benefits and potential to decrease HIV incidence. Ensuring access to HIV services is a significant human rights issue and successful programmes require adequate human rights protections and community support. However, the cost of specific human rights and community support interventions for equitable, sustainable and non-discriminatory access to ART are not well described. Human rights and community support interventions were identified using the literature and through consultations with experts. Specific costs were then determined for these health sector interventions. Population and epidemic data were provided through the Statistics South Africa 2009 national mid-year estimates. Costs of scale up of HIV prevention and treatment were taken from recently published estimates. Interventions addressed access to services, minimising stigma and discrimination against people living with HIV, confidentiality, informed consent and counselling quality. Integrated HIV programme interventions included training for counsellors, 'Know Your Rights' information desks, outreach campaigns for most at risk populations, and adherence support. Complementary measures included post-service interviews, human rights abuse monitoring, transportation costs, legal assistance, and funding for human rights and community support organisations. Other essential non-health sector interventions were identified but not included in the costing framework. The annual costs for the human rights and community support interventions are United States (US) $63.8 million (US $1.22 per capita), representing 1.5% of total health sector HIV programme costs. Respect for human rights and community engagement can be understood both as an obligation of expanded ART programmes and as a critically important factor in their success. Basic rights-based and community support interventions constitute only a small percentage of overall programmes costs. ART programs should consider measuring the cost and impact of human rights and community support interventions as key aspects of successful programme expansion.
Study on Performance Evaluation of Intensive Land Use in Wuhan City:1998-2010

Based on the relevant data from 1998 to 2010 in Wuhan city,this paper evaluates the performance of intensive land use in Wuhan and 13 regions under its jurisdiction. The result shows that intensive land use has promoted the improvement of land yield and the development of economy in Wuhan,and also saved the quantity of lands to some extent. However,there are some differences among each region in the intensive land use performance. In the three stages,the intensive land use for land yield contribution of the main urban areas is significantly higher than that in the suburbs,while the increase of the main city areas slows down gradually and the growth rate in the suburbs is obviously increasing. As for the contribution to gross economic volume,the suburbs overtake the main urban areas in the third stage. In terms of land saving amount,the total land saving quantity is basically equal in each stage. But the land saving quantity of urban areas descends persistently,while the suburbs rise steadily at the same time. Rural-urban fringe zones such as Hongshan district and underdeveloped main city areas such as Hanyang district show that land saving quantity first increases and then decreases.
La Formation Professionnelle Transrégionale Occidentale

Vocational training is an increasingly important factor for economic and social regional development. Substantial changes have taken place in Europe in three areas: gradual integration of training sub-systems within states, regional decentralisation of competencies, and conformity and recognition of qualifications on a European level. Against this background, the project aims to strengthen cooperation among regions with regard to vocational training and to help create a European training area while developing the regional economy, especially SMEs which are very widespread within our territory. The following are the most relevant objectives: to promote adaptation of training to the needs of the labour market, and to improve mobility in training and on the labour market. Overall objective / Objectif général Overall objective To establish a network for cooperation between systems and tools for vocational training, facilitating innovation and quality improvement based on collaboration among the partners within the framework of their competencies. This will be mediated through common actions, transparency and standardisation of vocational qualifications, the exchange of good practices and the production of training tools and materials. Expected results / Résultats attendus With regard to the equivalence of qualifications, the results of the operation will be: specific methods for recognition and accreditation; a methodology for certification and recognition; benchmarking and methods for comparison. Regarding in-company training courses, the expected results will be: improved technical, linguistic and social skills among exchange participants (young people and trainers); and greater cooperation among the training centres and companies involved. The products resulting from the organisation of courses will be: a course notebook, and the publication of a document on the European dimension of in-company training. Regarding long-term effects, the project mainly aims to expand the European dimension of training systems and to support worker mobility.
