Identification of potential embryokines in the bovine reproductive tract

Knowledge of the molecules used by the maternal reproductive tract to regulate development of the preimplantation embryo is largely incomplete. The goal of the present experiment was to identify candidates for this function. The approach was to assess expression patterns in the endometrium and oviduct of 93 genes encoding for hormones, growth factors, chemokines, cytokines, and WNT-related molecules. Results show that all of the genes were expressed in the reproductive tract. Expression in oviduct was affected by day of the estrous cycle for 21 genes with 11 genes having highest expression at estrus (CCL21, CTGF, CXCL10, CXCL16, DKK3, FGF10, IL18, IL33, IL34, PGF, and SFRP2), 1 gene at d 3 (WNT4), 8 at d 5 (BMP7, HGF, IL6, SFRP1, TGFB1, WIF1, WNT2, and WNT5A), and 1 at d 7 (IK). For endometrium, expression of 34 genes was affected by day of the estrous cycle with 11 having highest expression at d 0 (BMP7, CCL14, CCL21, CCL26, CTGF, CXCL12, IGF2, IL16, IL33, SFRP2, and WIF1), 2 at d 3 (HDGF, IL15), 14 at d 5 (CSF2, CX3CL1, CXCL3, FGF1, FGF2, GRO1, HGF, IGF1, IL1B, IL8, SFRP1, SFRP4, WNT5A, and WNT16), and 7 at d 7 (CXCL16, FGF13, HDGFRP2, TDGF1, VEGFB, WNT7A, and WNT11). Results are consistent with a set of genes regulated by estradiol early in the estrous cycle and another set regulated by progesterone later in the cycle. The cell-signaling genes identified here as being expressed in the oviduct and endometrium could serve to regulate early embryonic development in a stage-of-pregnancy-specific manner.

Quantum Models of the Recognition Process — On a Convergence Theorem

One of the main activities of the brain is the recognition of signals. As it was pointed out in [22, 25] the procedure of recognition can be described as follows: There is a set of complex signals stored in the memory. Choosing one of these signals may be interpreted as generating a hypothesis concerning an "expected view of the world". Then the brain compares a signal arising from our senses with the signal chosen from the memory. That changes the state of both signals in such a manner that after the procedure the signals coincide in a certain sense. Furthermore, measurements of that procedure like EEG or MEG are based on the fact that recognition of signals causes a certain loss of excited neurons, i.e. the neurons change their state from "excited" to "nonexcited". For that reason a statistical model of the recognition process should reflect both — the change of the signals and the loss of excited neurons. Now, [5] represents the first attempt to explain the process of recognition in terms of quantum statistics. According to the general conception of quantum theory, the procedure of recognition should be described by an operator on a certain Hilbert space. In [5] we proposed two candidates for such an operator. One of them reflects in a clear sense the mentioned change of the signals. The other one reflects the loss of excited neurons. We will prove (cf. Theorem 4) that for sufficiently high intensities of the signals both operators are approximately equal.
A genealogy of corruption. administrative malpractice and political modernization in eighteenth century wallachia

The transition from the Old Regime to modern European states in the 18th and 19th centuries entailed a transformation in the meaning of “corruption”. While seen as a moral failure from Antiquity to the Early Modern period, with the separation of the public and private domains in the 18th and 19th centuries, corruption came to be strictly defined as the abuse of public office. Until now, this particular transition has been studied only in Western and Northern Europe and in North America, where the reduced level of administrative corruption came to be seen as part and parcel of successful state-building. Although corruption in Southeastern Europe has received ample attention, it has been mostly treated as a quasi-natural characteristic of the region, and completely ignored as a problem of governance. My project addresses this problem by scrutinizing the emergence of the problem of administrative malpractice in the long 18th century Wallachia. Based on archival and published sources (judicial decisions, regulations, chronicles, travelogues etc.), the project offers the first systematic study of the practices which can be called corrupt, of the discourses about corruption and of the reaction of contemporaries to this phenomenon. The importance of the project lies in throwing light on processes of modernization in Southeastern Europe prior to the adoption of the Western cultural and political model during the 19th century.

<p><strong>The genus <em>Triozocera</em> Pierce, 1909 (Insecta: Strepsiptera: Corioxenidae) in South America</strong></p>

A new species of Triozocera from the Brazilian Amazon basin was found in a sample of male Strepsiptera from the collection of the Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia (INPA-Manaus, Amazonas, Brazil). Triozocera buehrheimi sp.n. is described and the status of T. paulistana Kogan, 1958, the first strepsipteran described from Brazil, is reviewed, with additional diagnostic characters used to reinstate the species based on comparative analyses to the other three species occurring in southern US, Mexico, and Central America: T. mexicana Pierce, 1909, T. tecpanensis Brailowsky and Márquez, 1974, and T. vernalis Kifune and Brailowsky, 1987. A key to those species is included.
Climate change and biometeorology, the International Society of Biometeorology and its journal: a perspective on the past and a framework for the future

Anthropogenic climate change is inherently a biometeorological issue. As such, it would be reasonably expected that the International Society of Biometeorology (ISB) and its journal, International Journal of Biometeorology (IJB), would have had climate change feature prominently in their activities, articles etc., and to therefore have made a substantial and valuable contribution to the science of the issue. This article presents an analysis of climate change science in ISB and IJB. The analysis focusses on climate-change-related publications by ISB Presidents found through searches of Thomson Reuters Web of Science; contributions to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's (IPCC's) Working Group II (WGII) by ISB Presidents; and climate change-related publications in IJB found through searches of Thomson Reuters Web of Science. The results demonstrate that the ISB, as represented by its recent, current, and future Presidents, is actively engaged in climate change research and the production of scholarly climate change publications. For example, ISB Presidents have contributed as authors to all four IPCC WGII Assessment Reports, with some Presidents having contributed to more than one Assessment Report or several chapters of the one report. Similarly, it is evident that the IJB is increasingly attracting and publishing climate-change-related articles, with such articles generally having greater impact (as indicated by citations) than other IJB articles. Opportunities for the ISB to provide an internal framework for, and showcase, its climate change work are described. Such opportunities, if enacted, would complement the recent creation of two IJB climate change Field Editor positions.

Care of the self and ethics for the other:  from a genealogy of asceticisms to the critique of the subject

This fellowship will draw together Western and Chinese theories and literatures to develop a truly comprehensive genealogy of asceticism, and will explore how this expanded understanding of ascetic practice can enhance contemporary therapeutic practices.  It will examine the relationship between the idea of the “care of the self,” whose early Western genealogy was explored by 20th Century thinker Michel Foucault, and an ethics of concern for the other as developed in Chinese traditions, with a view to surmounting the solipsism that seems to plague Foucault’s ethics of transgression. This fellowship will be hosted by Royal Holloway University of London (RHUL) under the supervision of Prof. Nathan Widder.
Grocerybot – ai-supported text dialog agent for communication with grocery stores in european languages

This project will develop a business plan for the commercialisation of Grocerybot – a novel Artificial Intelligence (AI) powered chat bot supporting grocery shopping on-line. 
In recent months, the market has witnessed an exponential growth in the popularity of chatbots. This has been triggered by the actions taken by technology giants like Microsoft and Facebook who made it possible to release bots in their messengers such as Facebook Messenger. The market is dynamic and includes a number of still non-occupied niche areas where chatbots can solve unmet needs of business and technological nature. One such niche is on-line grocery shopping. 
Grocery shopping online continues to lag behind other domains, mainly due to issues with convenience. Typically, customers shopping for groceries on-line are required to fill their carts by clicking the products and defining the quantities. This process (ubiquitous in e-commerce) is very cumbersome in on-line grocery shopping. This is because of large number of items typically purchased and the need to define and review the quantities and weights of the products.
A chatbot powered by AI technologies featuring machine learning, natural language processing and knowledge engineering could solve those problems by offering adequate customer assistance. However, no such technology has been proposed on the market to date. 
Loglab has been created to address this niche. We have a strong proof-of-concept of a grocerybot capable of guiding the user throughout the entire shopping journey online - a human-like assistant while shopping in an online grocery. The innovativeness of this concept has already been acknowledged by The National Centre for Research and Development in Poland which granted Loglab EUR 360K to develop the first commercial version of the bot for the Polish market. 
As a part of the Phase 1 project, we will develop a roadmap for scaling this innovation across the EU, powering the growth of online grocery retail in Europe.

Social Relations Management towards Sustainable Growth: A Study of the Development of E-Commerce Towns in China

Based on the context of e-commerce towns’ boost in rural parts of developing countries, this study examines the role of e-commerce association in the organizing and management of social relations to achieve sustainability and address existing social problems. Referring to the existing literature on resource dependence theory and social network theory, the present study aims to investigate the tensions arising from these two theories about relation management by exploring the contingent conditions for the two streams of research. This research-in-progress report presents a preliminary framework, which is based on the theories, initial primary data collection as well as secondary data. This framework presents three phases of the development of the e-commerce towns. In each stage, specific network structure, social relations and corresponding sustainable initiatives are discussed. The case study approach is adopted in this explorative research. Additional data collection and analysis will be conducted in next stage and the findings will be further enhanced. Also, expected theoretical and managerial implications will be discussed in the end of this paper.
Sewer inventory system to safeguard waste water infrastructures

Waste water networks have been an organic growing system in a 200 year process of pipes, leads, wells, etc. As there was never a standardized inventory system, governments have no or only partial information of their underground (waste) water infrastructure. 
Without this information crisis management plans for health threats, floods, collapses or calamities are hard to execute. Plans for water management (scarcity of water resources), next generation emergency services (fire brigades), rainwater drainage challenges (enlarging urban environments) or strategic use of sensor systems to detect gas, drugs or explosives are essential and complex tasks. 
As Europe is urging to solve the issues mentioned above (Groundwater directive, Urban Drainage, Water Framework directive), local governments are looking into this matter. Compiling all the data concerning the exact location and structural status of complete sewerage facilities is expensive and very time consuming. Additionally, all inventory jobs are done manually, error prone & inaccurate, dangerous and operator bound. 
SEGU offers a solution to the European challenge by allowing for accurate digital 3D data that can be obtained 4 times faster, less expensive and safer. The aim of the SEGU (SEwer inventory system to safeGUard waste water infrastructures) project is to ensure market introduction of a Waste Water Infrastructure Data Service within EU28 as well as proper management of waste water infrastructure. 
This feasibility study will focus on partner search, study of market mechanisms, local legislation / restrictions, and will result in an extensive business plan towards an EU strategy. 

Specifically, phase I entails: 
- Market mechanisms analysis 
- Business models assessment (services of big data) 
- (Local) regulations & legislations 
- Financial verifications & impacts on Business plan 

Phase II funding will be applied for to develop and build demonstrators to validate and set-up full scale database roll-out.
Imaging nm: a nanoparticulate precision medicine approach to target cancer

Cristal Therapeutics (CT) develops the next generation of nanomedicines to treat cancer. Cancer remains one the leading causes of death worldwide, and current treatment options are insufficient, in part due to the tumour heterogeneity between patients. CT has developed state-of-the-art nanoparticles (CriPec®) to target a drug of choice more selectively to the tumour site(s). The superior therapeutic performance of this approach has already been demonstrated preclinically for CT’ lead product CriPec® docetaxel and a promising clinical phase I trial is finalizing, providing a significantly increased pharmacokinetic and safety profile. CT already observed activity in patients and much reduced neutropenia and alopecia. 
In INTACT, CT will perform phase II clinical trials in ovarian and bladder cancer to evaluate the therapeutic efficacy of CriPec® docetaxel. Furthermore, CriPec® docetaxel will be decorated with a PET tracer (89Zr), which enables oncologists to visualize CriPec® biodistribution in real-time. Tumour uptake will be correlated with therapeutic responses and result in parameters for future patient selection. 
This approach turns the drug into a personalized medicine whereby only those patients that exhibit enhanced tumour-targeting will be treated. This personalisation assures maximum efficacy in selected patients, avoids exposing patients to inappropriate drugs and adverse effects, and allows patients with limited tumour targeting to receive other more appropriate treatment.
CT will use INTACT to close the gap from lab to market and facilitate a licensing deal for CriPec® docetaxel, projected to generate revenues exceeding >€100M in 2024. More importantly, INTACT will validate the CriPec® nanomedicine platform, boost product development for other diseases through licensing deals, and provide a growth of 10FTE by 2022. Success in INTACT will truly launch Cristal Therapeutics’ business.
Analysis of dynamic parameters in a metal cylindrical rod striking a rigid target

The initial-boundary value problem of one-dimensional dynamical plastic deformation within the scope of large strain of a metallic cylindrical rod has been analytically solved in a closed form in this paper. The deformation of a flat-ended rod has been caused by its normal impact on a rigid target. The rod material in the deformed part is defined by an incompressible, rigid-plastic, power strain hardening model. Such a model of the material provided better correlation with experimental data than a perfectly-plastic model. Results presented in this paper have applicable values. Derived in the paper closed analytical relations, written by elementary functions, give researchers and engineers insight into interaction of the physical parameters of the rod during of the impact process and post-impact.
