Synthesis of delafossite CuAlO2 p-type semiconductor with a nanoparticle-based Cu(I) acetate-loaded boehmite precursor

Abstract Delafossite CuAlO2 p-type nanostructured semiconductor was synthesized using boehmite (γ-AlOOH) nanorods loaded with copper(I) acetate [Cu(OAc)] as a precursor (nanoprecursor). Because Cu(OAc)-loaded γ-AlOOH nanorods are highly anisotropic, they tend to form inherent bunches consisting of several nanorods during the course of drying the nanoprecursor dispersion droplet on a solid substrate. By annealing the nanoprecursor at 1150 °C in air, a delafossite CuAlO2 polycrystal was successfully obtained as the dominant phase. The CuAlO2 polycrystal is found to exhibit the (1 1 0) crystal orientation. The crystalline anisotropy of CuAlO2, which is not usually attainable using conventional molecular precursors, is presumably originated in the anisotropic morphology of the nanoprecursor. The Seebeck coefficient, resistivity and thermal conductivity of the CuAlO2 polycrystal at 300 K were found to be +560 μV K−1, 1.3 Ω m and 19.4 W K−1 m−1, respectively, confirming the p-type nature of the CuAlO2 polycrystal.
3C-Sic hetero-epitaxially grown on silicon compliance substrates and 3c-sic substrates for sustainable wide-band-gap power devices

Silicon carbide presents a high breakdown field (2-4 MV/cm) and a high energy band gap (2.3–3.2 eV), largely higher than for silicon. Within this frame, the cubic polytype of SiC (3C-SiC) is the only one that can be grown on a host substrate with the huge opportunity to grow only the silicon carbide thickness required for the targeted application. The possible growth on silicon substrate has remained for long period a real advantage in terms of scalability regarding the reduced diameter of hexagonal SiC wafer commercially available. Even the relatively narrow band-gap of 3C-SiC (2.3eV), which is often regarded as detrimental in comparison with other polytypes, can in fact be an advantage. The lowering of the conduction band minimum brings about a reduced density of states at the SiO2/3C-SiC interface and MOSFET on 3C-SiC has demonstrated the highest channel mobility of above 300 cm2/(Vxs) ever achieved on SiC crystals, prompting a remarkable reduction in the power consumption of these power switching devices.
The electrical activity of extended defects in 3C SiC is a major concern for electronic device functioning. To achieve viable commercial yields the mechanisms of defects must be understood and methods for their reduction developed..
In this project new approaches for the reduction of defects will be used, working on new compliance substrates that can help to reduce the stress and the defect density at the same time.  This growth process will be driven by numerical simulations of the growth and simulations of the stress reduction. 
The structure of the final devices will be simulated using the appropriated numerical tools where new numerical model will be introduced to take into account the properties of the new material. Thanks to these simulations tools and the new material with low defect density, several devices that can work at high power and with low power consumption will be realized inside the project.
Industrial manufacturing of eco-innovative, safe, sustainable functionalised microencapsulated fragrances for fabric softeners

Fabric softeners are the most popular laundry care products after detergents. They keep clothes soft, enhance nice smells while preventing musty odours, extend the life of clothes, reduce the formation of wrinkles and improve endurance ability of clothes against stains. 

However, existing fabric softeners are usually inefficient and contain harmful toxic ingredients that are bad for environment and human health. In a laundry cycle, 95% of softeners are lost in water during the draining process, generating excessive impact on the environment. The remaining 5% of softener remains on clothes for only a short time, before slowly releasing the chemical substances on to skin and the environment. 

CARINSA has developed an eco-friendly polymeric coating that microencapsulates fragrances and drastically improves fabric softener efficiency. The fabric softeners produced with our technology do not contain toxic materials, increase the adherence to fabric in the washing process by up to 10 times and will improve softener duration on clothes by up to 330%. ECO-SOFT project represents a huge opportunity for our company (CARINSA) to commercialise an innovative solution that will benefit the whole fabric softener value chain. Our solution, CARINCAP, allows fabric softener manufacturers to increase their gross margin by 30% while final consumers will benefit from an eco-efficient, safe laundry care product that has reduces cost per wash by 61%. 

CARINSA has 24 years of experience in the market and is already present in more than 50 countries. We plan to commercialise the technology among fabric softener manufacturers by exploiting our experience in the sector and by using our present channels, which make this project strategically important for the company. Initial market projections suggest that CARINSA will gain about €6M of net profit in 2024 while directly creating 30 new jobs.

Diagnostic Test Generation for Statistical Bug Localization Using Evolutionary Computation

Verification is increasingly becoming a bottleneck in the process of designing electronic circuits. While there exists several verification tools that assist in detecting occurrences of design errors, or bugs, there is a lack of solutions for accurately pin-pointing the root causes of these errors. Statistical bug localization has proven to be an approach that scales up to large designs and is widely utilized both in debugging hardware and software. However, the accuracy of localization is highly dependent on the quality of the stimuli. In this paper we formulate diagnostic test set generation as a task for an evolutionary algorithm, and propose dedicated fitness functions that closely correlate with the bug localization capabilities. We perform experiments on the register-transfer level design of the Plasma microprocessor coupling an evolutionary test-pattern generator and a simulator for fitness evaluation. As a result, the diagnostic resolution of the tests is significantly improved.
Enhanced high-rate capability and cycling stability of Na-stabilized layered Li1.2[Co0.13Ni0.13Mn0.54]O2 cathode material

Na-stabilized Li1.2−xNax[Co0.13Ni0.13Mn0.54]O2 is synthesized by introducing larger Na ions into the Li slabs of the layered material through a simple polymer-pyrolysis method. The structural and morphological characterization reveals that the Na doping leads to a more ordered structure with regular cubic morphology and enlarged Li layer spacing. Electrochemical experiments show that the Na-doped Li1.17Na0.03[Co0.13Ni0.13Mn0.54]O2 electrode can deliver larger reversible discharge capacity (307 mA h g−1), higher initial coulombic efficiency (87%), greatly improved rate capability (139 mA h g−1 at 8 C) and cycling stability (89% capacity retention after 100 cycles) in comparison with the undoped Li1.2[Co0.13Ni0.13Mn0.54]O2 electrode. The superior electrochemical performance of the Na-doped material is due to the enhancement of the structural stability and the enlargement of the Li slab space of the layered material, which facilitate the stabilization of the host lattice and allow rapid diffusion of Li ions in the bulk lattice.

Functional glass

The scientific objective of the project FUNGLASS- FUNctional GLASS integration in photonic devices and components- addresses one of the most crucial challenges in research and innovation which lies in the design and manufacturing of optical components and systems. Among the materials used in photonic devices, glasses play a central role: they are used as laser sources, lenses, smart screen, optical fibers and specialty fibers to name a few.  FUNGLASS breakthrough relies on the control of nano/micro processing and 3D printing of glass by laser writing or poling, offering extraordinary opportunities for fabrication of elementary building-blocks such as multimaterial optical fibers with unique topology, morphology and novel properties for the design of integrated multifunctional components and devices.

FUNGLASS proposes interdisciplinary European scale staff exchange programme with unique positioning on laser/field 3D nano/micro patterning and functionalizing of novel photonic glass materials allowing fabrication of sophisticated components and systems on their own. The involvement of large international centers with state of the art facilities for developing photonics components will enable provision of the required skills for developing a career in the private sector, as an entrepreneur, a CEO, a chief of R&D department etc. The involvement of international experienced and recognized professors, ER, involved in the project will also ensure that ESRs are prepared for a career in research excellence. Moreover, the strong lasting links between those centers allow the popup for an unpreceded international network in photonics and material. This proposal will contribute to sustain this network by the creation of joint unit laboratory between participants.

International Evidence on the Determinants of Organizational Ethical Vulnerability

This paper proposes a model to explain what makes organisations ethically vulnerable. Drawing upon legitimacy, institutional, agency and individual moral reasoning theories we consider three sets of explanatory factors and examine their association with organisational ethical vulnerability. The three sets comprise external institutional context, internal corporate governance mechanisms and organisational ethical infrastructure. We combine these three sets of factors and develop an analytical framework for classifying ethical issues and propose a new model of organisational ethical vulnerability. We test our model on a sample of 253 firms that were involved in ethical misconduct and compare them with a matched sample of the same number of firms from 28 different countries. The results suggest that weak regulatory environment and internal corporate governance combined with profitability warnings or losses in the preceding year increase organisational ethical vulnerability. We find counterintuitive evidence suggesting that firms’ involvement in bribery and corruption prevention training programmes is positively associated with the likelihood of ethical vulnerability. By synthesising insights about individual and corporate behaviour from multiple theories, this study extends existing analytical literature on business ethics. Our findings have implications for firms’ external regulatory settings, corporate governance mechanisms and organisational ethical infrastructure.
An information theoretic approach to improving the reliability of weather and climate simulations

The aim of this project is to develop a new synergy between climate and computer science to increase the accuracy and hence reliability of comprehensive weather and climate models. The scientific basis for this project lies in the PI’s pioneering research on stochastic sub-grid parametrisations for climate models. These parametrisations provide estimates of irreducible uncertainty in weather and climate models, and will be used to determine where numerical precision for model variables can be reduced without degradation. By identifying those bits that carry negligible information – typically in high-wavenumber components of the dynamical core and within parametrisation and Earth-System modules – computational resources can be reinvested into areas (resolution, process representation, ensemble size) where they are sorely needed. This project will determine scale-dependent estimates of information content as rigorously as possible based on a variety of new tools, which include information-theoretic diagnostics and emulators of imprecision, and in a variety of models, from idealised to comprehensive. The project will contribute significantly to the development of next-generation weather and climate models and is well timed for the advent of exascale supercomputing where energy efficiency is paramount and where movement of bits, being the single biggest determinant of power consumption, must be minimised. The ideas will be tested on emerging hardware capable of exploiting the benefits of mixed-precision arithmetic. A testable scientific hypothesis is presented: a proposed increase in forecast reliability arising from an increase in the forecast model’s vertical resolution, the cost being paid for by a reduction in precision of small-scale variables. This project can be expected to provide new scientific understanding of how different scales interact in the nonlinear climate system, for example in maintaining persistent atmospheric flow regimes.
Bootstrap voltage supply

Smart household waste management

EU Waste Framework Directive targets recycling rates of 50% by 2020 for municipal waste. To reach this goal new waste management strategies need to be applied by municipalities, not only to align with EU recycling targets but also to be able to cover increasing disposal costs. Strategies should begin by making households aware of the necessity to lower their waste generation, while increasing their recycling rate. One of the most effective ways to motivate households, is through ""Pay as you throw"" (PAYT) schemes, based on the implementation of a disposal fee per household, according to the amount of waste generated. In order to be able to apply PAYT schemes, selective waste collection needs to be implemented by municipalities or waste management companies. One of the most common, is door-to-door (DtD) waste collection, as it greatly facilitates the application of PAYT schemes while promoting recycling among households. Even though, the combination of DtD collection with PAYT greatly reduces the load of waste generated, current systems to account for the amounf of waste generated per household are not accurate. They quantify based on the number of bags/bins (with a set volume) each household generates, without considering that in many occasions these bags/bins are just partially filled upon collection. Nevertheless, households are charged the same, neglecting if all the volume has been filled. A new accurate measuring system is needed. We are Distromel, a spanish company specialized in the develoment of technological solutions for the waste management market. Aiming to solve an increasing concurrent demand from private and public WM companies, we have created SmartDtD: a certified weighing and identification system (RFID number) integrated in a container that can be embedded in any truck (under EN-840).SmartDtD is a technological solution specially designed for door-to-door waste collection that will help optimize waste collection services as well as PAYT programs.
Do Political Science Majors Succeed in the Labor Market?

ABSTRACT Despite some stakeholders’ concerns about the practical value of an undergraduate degree in political science, our graduates actually do quite well in the labor market. Based on analysis of a sample of 3.4 million college graduates (including 86,000 in political science) from the 2009–2014 American Community Surveys, our majors earn two-thirds more than demographically similar high school graduates if they stop with bachelor’s degrees, but they are among the most likely to obtain graduate degrees, especially in law. Only engineering, economics, computer science, and health science majors make at least 10% more than our graduates, who make nearly as much as those who major in business and 10% to 25% more than those who major in most other social sciences and humanities. Political science majors have relatively high unemployment rates in their 20s, however, and may end up in very different occupations than they imagined when they chose political science.

Local economic development in airport catchment areas

Aviation is deemed to be one of the most dynamic industries in the world and airport planning requires intensive study and fore thought. The most efficient plan for an airport has to take into account many variables and still there are adjacent areas that are not considered yet but increasingly regarded as catalysts for local economic development. Integrated economic development linked to airports poses a major challenge. Ambition to achieve this calls for the functional division of tasks and scope of responsibility between cities and settlements in the vicinity of airports, and also the strengthened cooperation between various stakeholders, such as municipalities, development agencies and private companies.

Within the AIRLED project the partners, representing public bodies, join their forces to work out a strategic framework along the vision of becoming an “Airport City” that is suitable to its needs and also boosts development in other territories. Working out the complex approach to the local development of airport surrounding areas various stakeholders will be involved.
