Electrocatalytic proton and co2 reduction: metal based fused diporphyrins with proton relays for efficient catalysis

This project deals with the use of metal-based fused diporphyrins as electrocatalysts for HER/CO2 reduction. The objectives of the proposed work are as follows:
i) Synthesis of metal complexes of substituted free base monoporphyrin derivatives bearing hydrophilic groups at the periphery (-SO3H, CH3PhSO3H, phenolic –OH groups). Moreover, attempts will be made to introduce functional groups positioned at the secondary coordination sphere facilitating interaction between metal with protons.
ii) Synthesis of fused diporphyrins from respective monoporphyrin derivatives. Elucidation of their geometric and electronic structures through electrochemical, spectroscopic, and X-ray diffraction analyses.
iii) Evaluation of the catalytic activity of the metal complexes in HER and CO2 reduction in both aqueous and non-aqueous mediums. A particular emphasis will be laid on the competitive/tandem proton and CO2 reduction, as well as on the interplay of two metal centers for efficient catalysis.
iv) Quantification of electrocatalytic efficiency, and elucidation of mechanistic pathway to develop structure-activity correlations.
Detailed information’s regarding implementation of objectives have been mentioned in Section 3 of the Part-B containing individual milestones for each sections and expected time period for execution.
The proposed research project,if approved,is expected to bring about significant breakthroughs in the field of HER/CO2 reduction reactions. Furthermore, the study will provide new insights into the mechanistic pathway, which in turn will open up new avenues for the development of more efficient and cost-effective catalysts. Besides, the fellowship will provide an exciting opportunity to the researcher to develop new expertise, acquire knowledge, increase professional contacts and lastly a global exposure via mobility between different labs. Together all these skill sets will drastically improve the employability of the researcher in both industry or in academia.

Social Innovation in the Agri-food sector for Women’s Empowerment in the Mediterranean sea basin

On both sides of the Mediterranean Sea, there is a common trend in terms of low women empowerment and participation in the labor force. InnovAgroWoMed project aims at boosting women labor participation and entrepreneurship, by leveraging on the potential of the agri-food sector - an industry closely linked to the cultural identity of the Mediterranean region - and showing a significant level of untapped potential in terms of innovation and growth. While countries such as Spain and Italy feature comparatively high levels of growth in the agri-food sector, albeit, with very low levels of women participation, the MENA agricultural business is still fragmented, and with low women employment. This project will focus on two European regions (Valencia, Spain and Sicily, Italy) and two MENA areas (Béja and Médenine in Tunisia, and Palestine), identified as suitable for the implementation and scaling up of a sustainable value model in the agri-food sector: Rural Social Innovation (RSI). RSI redefines the boundaries between organizations and the community, addressing broader societal challenges by seeking economic, social and environmental sustainability, balancing tradition and innovation and explicitly seeking community development at the local level.

Comparison of a tipping-bucket and electronic weighing precipitation gage for snowfall

Abstract A comparison of a heated tipping-bucket and an electronic weighing precipitation gage for snowfall was conducted over a 173 day period in winter 2009 and 2010 at the Zermatt weather station in the Swiss Alps (1638 m a.s.l.). The main advantages of the electronic weighing system were lower evaporation losses and a higher accuracy in assessing the beginning of snowfall events. The tipping-bucket gage measured overall 23.7% less precipitation due to heating-related losses, and showed a mean delay of ∼ 30 min in recording the beginning of the events. The delay can be explained by the time it takes to melt the snow and fill the first tip at the given time sampling resolution (∼ 20 min) and by evaporation losses (∼ 10 min). The delay is important if accurate identification of the beginning of events is required.
Social enterpreneurship in structurally weak rural regions: analysing innovative troubleshooters in action

Structurally weak rural regions are faced with major social and economic problems. In comparison to urban or intermediate regions, predominantly rural regions are economically less productive and they provide a less extensive scope of desired goods and services. As a consequence, the regions experience a loss of inhabitants, especially of young and highly skilled people. Thus, downward spirals are set in motion that further reduce economic opportunities and prevent rural regions from overcoming their structural deficits. 
The proposed RURACTION research and training network focuses on socially innovative solutions to these rural problems developed by social entrepreneurs. Social entrepreneurs are understood as practitioners who create and implement social innovations by entrepreneurial means. The question arises under which conditions they operate, how they organise solutions, how they network and empower residents, which impacts they actually have on rural development, and how they can be supported in their problem-solving activities. 
The European Commission identifies the subject of social innovation in rural regions as a research gap. RURACTION intends to fill this gap. The research and training network brings together highly acknowledged academics and very experienced practitioners from social enterprises to contribute their expertise in this field (e.g. with spring schools, autumn skills seminars and cross-sectoral secondments). It strives to achieve excellent research results and aims at qualifying early stage researcher as equally scientifically and practically skilled experts for social entrepreneurship and social innovations in rural regions – be it in order to conduct further research in this complex scientific field, to professionally support and promote initiatives of existing social entrepreneurial organisations, and/or to professionally start their own initiatives and social enterprises.
A numerical study on base geometry of transistor laser: Quantum-well location effect

We report a numerical method based on both experimental data and physical model to simulate quantum-well dislocation effect inside the base region of a transistor laser of 150μm cavity length. Utilizing a special calculation method, base recombination lifetime is simulated for different quantum-well locations. In order to investigate optical bandwidth dependence on quantum well location coupled carrier photon equations are analyzed. Simulation shows significant enhancement in optical bandwidth (up to ~51GHz) due to moving the quantum well toward collector while current gain decreases. Also reported in this work is an optimum place for quantum-well to locate in the base region in order to maximize the bandwidth.
Vibration analysis of nanotubes conveying fluid based on gradient elasticity theory

In this paper two theoretical beam models are proposed for the vibration analysis of fluid-conveying nanotubes using the theory of strain gradient elasticity combined with inertia gradients. For comparison purposes, two stress gradient elasticity beam models were also discussed. Both theories were formulated using either the Euler-Bernoulli or the Timoshenko assumptions. Unlike the stress gradient beam models, in which only one material length scale parameter is introduced, the combined strain/inertia gradient beam models include two material length scale parameters related to the inertia and strain gradients, which enable us to investigate the size effect on the dynamical behavior of nanotubes conveying fluid. Results show that the size effect predicted by stress gradient beam models is not pronounced. However, for combined strain/inertia gradient beam models, the natural frequencies obtained display size-dependent properties. For small aspect ratios, the natural frequencies predicted by the combined strain/inertia gradient beam models are much smaller than the stress gradient results. Moreover, the critical flow velocities predicted by the combined strain/inertia gradient beam models are slightly higher than those predicted by the stress gradient beam models, showing that the stability of nanotubes is enhanced due to the consideration of inertia gradients.
Emometer: developing an integrated toolbox for the assessment of emotional functioning in dogs

Dogs have great social (e.g. companion dogs) and economic (e.g. working, assistance, therapy dogs) values. Their increasing presence in our society (~63 million in Europe and 500 million worldwide) calls a timely understanding of emotional processing in dogs, in order to promote human-dog bonds, ensure dog welfare and reduce dog related costs to society (e.g. dog-bite related incidents). Emotional functioning is a complex process and we currently have very little understanding of it in non-human animals, with no consensus on the theoretical framework and limited robust empirical research on dog emotion. Given recent theoretical advances (e.g. multi-component emotion process theory) in human emotion research and improved technology (e.g. integrated wearable wireless sensors), there are new opportunities to address this fundamental issue. This interdisciplinary research programme will break new ground by developing an integrated toolbox (a range of behavioural, cognitive and physiological measures) for emotion assessment, and providing the first systematic study of multi-component emotional functioning in dogs. The novel findings will result in a step change in our understanding of dogs’ capability for processing and functionally responding to emotional signals, such as subtle or even subliminal human expressions. This has significant practical implications for various human-dog interactions and dog welfare. The development of such an integrated toolbox for dogs will pave the way for emotion assessment in a variety of animal species in everyday settings and will ensure Europe remains at the forefront of animal emotion and welfare research. With combined expertise in animal cognition, behaviour and welfare, cognitive neuroscience and computer science, the interdisciplinary supervisory team will provide structured training of research and complimentary skills to the Fellow, and facilitate her development as a future leader in this emerging field.

A Method to get the Forward Kinematics of Parallel Kinematics Mechanisms Based on the Fixed Point Iteration

The fixed point iteration method was proposed to solve the forward kinematics of parallel kinematics mechanisms as a new method. In every iteration through the reverse kinematics the previous iteration intermediate position and posture determined stick orientation vectors. And the stick ports, which were obtained by multiplying stick orientation vectors and given stick lengths, determined the next iteration intermediate position and posture. The final position and posture satisfying the convergence conditions would be obtained. 6-SPS was taken as an example to verify that this method was available and correct. Compared with the Newton iteration, this method possesses more advantages, such as simpler formula, higher speed of the convergence, smaller program workload, and less influence of initial values on the convergence.
Multiscales and critical transitions in the earth system

The objective of CriticalEarth is to train a cohort of exceptional young scientists, and to advance our understanding of tipping points and assess possible connections between tipping elements in the climate. Fundamental development of the mathematics involved in such multi-scale problems and methods for exploring rare events and critical transitions in computationally heavy state-of-the-art climate models are in focus. The dynamical behavior of complex systems such as the climate in terms of bifurcations and the dependence on stochastic fluctuations as well as the feedbacks involved in the physical processes causing critical transitions will be subject of the research. This is important for underpinning the planetary boundaries and the response to increased levels of greenhouse gases. Ultimately, defining the thresholds for irreversible climate change is a grand scientific challenge and a matter of huge societal importance. Predicting the future climate beyond the linear response to greenhouse forcing, developing early warning systems and quantifying safe operating spaces are challenges for the next generation of scientists. CriticalEarth will train 15 early stage researchers to develop new methods for assessing the mechanisms and associated risks of critical transitions in the climate. The program will enable them to generate, integrate and apply multidisciplinary knowledge from applied mathematics, climate science (paleo and projected future) and numerical simulations. The network will give them an excellent background for collaborating in cross-disciplinary teams in academia, industry, governmental- and non-governmental institutions. CriticalEarth's main outcomes will be (i) a cohort of trained scientists within a research field with high demand for years to come; (ii) a ground-breaking understanding of multiscale dynamics in the Earth system and (iii) better foundations for understanding and better tools for assessing and avoiding irreversible climate change.
Opportunities for domesticating the African baobab (Adansonia digitata L.): multi-trait fruit selection

Among the priority species identified for domestication in the Sahel region of Sub-Sahara Africa is the baobab (Adansonia digitata L.) tree. The quantification of the variation in nutrient content and fruit morphological traits of trees is one of the most important steps in identifying superior planting material for domestication. Ten provenances in Mali covering all the different agro-ecological zones were selected and the fruit morphological traits, vitamin C, calcium, iron and colour were studied. Mean pulp content was 2,149 ± 1,117 , 2,406 ± 776 and 25 ± 17 mg kg−1 for vitamin C, calcium and iron, respectively. Fruit pulp colour varied from white, creamy to pink and a significant correlation between pulp vitamin C content and reflectance in the green and blue bands was observed. Significant negative correlations were found between rainfall and pulp vitamin C content and between mean annual temperature and fruit and pulp weight and pulp fraction, suggesting that these traits are influenced by the environment. Pulp iron content correlated positively with topsoil sodicity and base saturation. Similarly, pulp vitamin C content correlated positively with topsoil sand fraction. Pulp reflectance in the blue and green bands correlated negatively with topsoil pH water and base saturation, respectively. The variation in nutritive and morphological traits offers the opportunity for selecting plus trees with a combination of desired traits for domestication.
Vivilforte

The system of fortifications in the North-Cadses area was defined in the last few years both at territorial level (in Italy and Slovenia) and in terms of heritage-architectural priorities. In these areas, the project aims at setting up a system for the promotion of three areas, “Chioggia, Mestre - Venice, Bovec” by means of historical re-enactments and far-reaching dissemination systems targeting the local population. The project was inspired by the common existing military architecture, in order to highlight the moments and the particular aspects that characterised relations between Venice and the “Alpine Slovenian Community” of the Isonzo and Natisone valleys throughout their historical evolution from the 1400s to the dissolution of the Republic of Venice. The project consists of a historical study to be drawn up on the relations between selected areas, the organisation of historical re-enactments set in fortified sites dating back to the 1500s and 1800s in the Partner Towns and two workshops on the State “reorganisations” that followed Napoleonic transformations and the defence arrangements set up in the city of Venice and along north-eastern borders in the 1500s. The closing conference focuses on relations between the Republic of Venice and the ethnic communities on the border. The project’s initiatives contribute to promoting historical-cultural bonds between the Venetian area and the Slovenian one in the Valleys of Isonzo and Natisone, with a resulting opening up of new prospects in terms of tourism and cultural exchange as well as to making the fortifications and abandoned military installations accessible to the population at large.
