Effect of phenolic compounds on protein cross-linking and properties of film from fish myofibrillar protein

The effects of several phenolic ocmpounds (caffeic acid, catechin, ferullic acid and tannic acid) at various concentrations (1, 3 and 5% based on protein) on cross-linking and properties of film from myofibrillar proteins of bigeye snapper ( Priacanthus tayenus ) were investigated. Among all phenolic compounds used, tannic acid exhibited the highest cross-linking ability on myofibrillar protein as evidenced by higher decrease in free amino groups with coincidentally lower band intensity of myosin heavy chain (MHC). In addition, the extent of protein cross-linking increased with increasing concentration of phenolic compounds. Addition of phenolic compounds could enhance mechanical properties of the resulting films. As phenolic compounds content increased, Young's modulus ( E ) and tensile strength (TS) of the films increased, while their elongation at break (EAB) decreased ( P < 0.05), suggesting stronger and stiffer film structure. At the same concentration used, tannic acid rendered the film with higher mechanical properties, compared to others. Phenolic compounds decreased film transparency and affected color of the films differently, depending on types and concentrations used. Films from myofibrillar proteins with and without polyphenol generally had the excellent barrier properties to UV light at the wavelength of 200–800 nm. Therefore, it could potentially be used as inner packaging material for high-fat foods to prevent the lipid oxidation and thus prolonging the shelf-life of foods during storage.

Targeted molecular imaging and surgery for gastro-intestinal cancer

The treatment for cancer patients is shifting from population-based treatment to the more precise personalized medicine. Tumor-specific molecular diagnostics and treatment are an example of this phenomena to assist clinical decision making and to improve treatment strategies for patients. This change in management will lead to societal benefits such as treatments that fits the patient’s needs and therefore, increased health benefits and increased quality-of-life. The targeted agent we have developed has both an imaging version to improve the detection and resection of cancer and an cytotoxic variant to eliminate potential remaining tumor cells. At this point, there is no agent available that can contribute to both the diagnostic phase and the subsequent treatment in a tumor-specific manner. Near infrared (NIR) fluorescence imaging is a technique that has gained a lot of attention over the last decade because of its role in intra-operative guidance to improve resection, and in, for example, endoscopy to improve detection. Combining a NIR-dye to a specific tumor-targeting ligand, like an antibody or a peptide, dramatically enhances the specificity, providing a solid real-time identification and demarcation technique. In TAcTIC, we propose the clinical introduction of a targeted fluorescent imaging agent against EpCAM, which can also be used for response monitoring during endoscopy, and the initiation of a New Company (in the Netherlands) via a joint venture between LUMC and ElevenBio (Boston, United States) for the future commercialization of this agent. The expected outcomes of this proof-of-concept project are the successful introduction of a novel targeted fluorescent agent for in multiple cancer types, a joint venture between LUMC and ElevenBio for the commercialization of this agent, and societal benefits for the patient in the form of increased health benefits and quality of life due to a treatment strategy that fits the individual patient’s needs.
Global infrastructures for supporting biodiversity research

Biodiversity and ecosystem research is addressing the grand societal challenge to predict the biosphere under global environmental change. To advance scientific progress in understanding the complexity of natural systems it is required that supporting research infrastructures cooperate globally to serve the essential data at different temporal and spatial scales. This includes providing the capabilities to process big and massive datasets. GLOBIS-B is a global cooperation of world-class research infrastructures with a focus on targeted services to support frontier research that deals with predicting the biosphere and measuring the indicators of biodiversity change. The project brings key scientists together with global research infrastructure operators and legal interoperability experts to address research needs and infrastructure services underpinning the concept of Essential Biodiversity Variables (EBVs). EBVs were proposed by the GEO Biodiversity Observation Network (GEO BON) and are a prerequisite for understanding biodiversity and ecosystem change. Integrated scientific and technical workshops will identify the required primary data, analysis tools, methodologies etc. to develop an infrastructure development agenda for computing EBVs and to explore the discovery of required and interoperable data at larger spatial and temporal scales. Applications of common standards and workflows that are ‘self-documenting’ and openly shared facilitate international cooperation, and realistic and pragmatic solutions are explored to streamline the legal bottlenecks for the reciprocal use of data and software tools from different origins. Solutions should be workable for both the scientific communities and the cooperating research infrastructures, especially in regard to achieving direct machine-machine interactions. The interaction with national, supra-national and global policy bodies contributes to potential refinements of general policies supporting legal interoperability.
Avar-Age Polearms and Edged Weapons: Classification, Typology, Chronology and Technology

In Avar-Age Polearms and Edged Weapons, Gergely Csiky offers a presentation of close combat weapons of a nomadic population that migrated from Inner Asia to East-Central Europe. During the late 6th - early 7th centuries, the Avars led successful military campaigns against the Balkan realms of the Byzantine Empire, facilitated by their cavalry's use of stirrups for the first time in Europe. Besides the classification, manufacturing techniques, fittings, suspension, distribution, and chronology of polearms and edged weapons known from Avar-age burials, a special emphasis is laid on the origins and cultural contacts of these weapons, among them the first edged weapons with curved blades: the sabres. The social significance and, function of these artefacts is discussed in order to place them in nomadic warfare.
MAESTRALE

The project Maestrale intends to lay the basis for a Maritime Energy Deployment Strategy in the Mediterranean. Based on a survey of existing and innovative technologies, hindrances and potentials in participating countries, it aims to widen knowledge sharing among scientists, policy makers, entrepreneurs and citizens and prompt effective actions and investments for blue growth._x000D_
Notwithstanding the large number of academic and technical studies in the field of renewable blue energy, there is a lack of concrete initiatives and operating plants in the MED area. To fill this gap, project partners will cooperate to detect maritime renewable energy potentials in participating countries as regards their physical, legal, technological, economic and social contexts. Among the issues to be faced, there are environmental sustainability, technological innovation, acceptability by citizens, and possible conflicts with marine ecosystems._x000D_
The main output will consist in the creation of Blue Energy Labs (BEL) to take place in each participating region. BELs will involve local enterprises, public authorities, knowledge institutions and citizens and will operate to support future blue energy policies and plan concrete strategies for blue growth. A number of pilot projects will serve the purpose of raising awareness among local stakeholders, facilitating social acceptance, decreasing uncertainty and increasing feasibility of concrete interventions.
Mechanisms of epidermal stratification and force-mediated regulation of stem cell fate and positioning

As a self-renewing organ maintained by multiple distinct stem cell populations, the epidermis represents an outstanding, clinically relevant research paradigm to address mechanisms of stem cell regulation. To achieve the dynamic turnover and maintenance of the critical skin barrier function, epidermal stem cells (SC) commit to differentiate and delaminate from the basal layer to form suprabasal layers. What triggers SC differentiation, how the differentiating cells move upwards, and how differentiation and self-renewing divisions are balanced remain key open questions. Cells within the epidermis are constantly exposed to tissue- and cell-scale forces that result in changes in cell and nuclear shape and volume. Based on the emerging role of cell density and size in regulating SC fate, I hypothesize that dynamic nuclear and cell shape changes play central roles in regulating epidermal SC fate and in coupling fate changes to cell positioning within the tissue. By combining an innovative, live embryo imaging pipeline, quantitative image analysis, and theoretical models, I aim to decipher the dynamics of epidermal morphogenesis. Using transgenic reporter mice for the nucleus, plasma membrane, cytoskeleton, and differentiation, I will map large-scale and local mechanical transitions along the developmental timeline and correlate them with nuclear and cell shape changes, cell division, differentiation and delamination. I will combine these quantitative imaging experiments with computational modeling, genetic manipulation of contractility, spatial single cell transcriptomics and in vitro cell biology to discover the cellular and molecular mechanism by which tissue geometry and cell/nuclear shape guide cell fate and dynamic positioning. Altogether, this project will uncover fundamental mechanisms of epidermal stratification during development and homeostasis.

A Clustering K-Anonymity Scheme for Location Privacy Preservation

The continuous advances in sensing and positioning technologies have resulted in a dramatic increase in popularity of Location-Based Services (LBS). Nevertheless, the LBS can lead to user privacy breach due to sharing location information with potentially malicious services. A high degree of location privacy preservation for LBS is extremely required. In this paper, a clustering K-anonymity scheme for location privacy preservation (namely CK) is proposed. The CK scheme does not rely on a trusted third party to anonymize the location information of users. In CK scheme, the whole area that all the users reside is divided into clusters recursively in order to get cloaked area. The exact location information of the user is replaced by the cloaked spatial temporal boundary (STB) including K users. The user can adjust the resolution of location information with spatial or temporal constraints to meet his personalized privacy requirement. The experimental results show that CK can provide stringent privacy guarantees, strong robustness and high QoS (Quality of Service).

Destriping method based on transform domain

To remove the stripe noise from the line scan images, a transform domain destriping method which combined Fourier transform and wavelet decomposition was proposed. Firstly, the image was decomposed using multi-resolution wavelet decomposition to separate the subband which contained the stripe noise from other subbands. Then the subband that contained stripe noise was transformed into Fourier coefficients. The Fourier coefficients were processed by a band-stop filter to remove the stripe noise. The live collected cotton foreign fiber images with stripe noise were used in the simulation experiment. The experimental results indicate that the proposed approach which combined Fourier transform with wavelet decomposition can effectively remove the stripe noise from the image while preserving the characteristics of the original image. It gets better destriping effect than just using Fourier transform or wavelet decomposition separately.

Leydigia (Neoleydigia) cf. striata Birabén, 1939 (Crustacea: Cladocera: Chydoridae) from Colombia and its differentiation from L. (N.) cf. ipojucae (Brehm, 1938)

This paper concerns the chydorid cladoceran Leydigia (Neoleydigia) cf. striata Birabén, 1939 in plankton samples from Ciénaga El Convento, Colombia. The specimen from Colombia bears the diagnostic features of L (N) cf. striata as redescribed by Kotov and Elías-Gutiérrez (2003), Kotov et al. (2004), and Kotov, (2009). However, this particular specimen shows some subtle differences in the morphology of basal spine of claw, spine-like setules on first and second endopod segments of antenna II, and striation on valve. In the Neotropics, L. (N.) cf. striata Birabén, 1939 most closely resembles L. (N.) cf. ipojucae Brehm, 1938 in the structure of thoracic limb II and postabdominal claw, but can be separated from the latter by differences in setules in lateral fascicles on labrum, postpore distance (PP), shape of postabdomen, preanal margin of the postabdomen, and seta 2 of thoracic limb III.

Extracellular matrix derived products from human placenta to engineer bone microtissues for in vitro disease models.

The aim of ‘AMNIOGEL’ is the development of human extracellular matrix (ECM) based materials, as radically innovative,
highly versatile human-derived platforms for 3D cell culture, microtissue development and disease models establishment. In
particular, we will develop 3D disease models that could be used as an enabling tool for personalized drug discovery,
increasing our understanding of the mechanisms behind bone cancer.
The proposed cutting-edge technology enables the culture of human cells in a physiologically relevant microenvironment for
applications in cell culture research, drug screening and development, cancer research, tissue engineering, replacement of
animal testing and therapeutic applications. The potential of this technology to reduce or completely replace use of animals
for biological screenings is expected to have a significant impact in the 3D cell culture market and pharmaceutical industry
by accelerating drug screening and development reducing associated costs. The innovation potential of our products is
based on the fact that contain human biochemical cues (vital for cell function), is a complete xeno-free solution (avoids
contamination) for human cell culture and easy to manipulate. It is worth mentioning that offers the possibility to be
personalised (using the patient’s own ECM) according to the customer needs. Moreover, our culture substrates are easily
processed in multiple geometries and in microarrays amenable to ‘organ-on- a-chip’ systems designed for high-throughput
screening (HTS) applications.
Flexible mid-infrared photonic solutions for rapid farm-to-fork sensing of food contaminants

Analytical techniques for the measurements of chemical and microbial contaminations along the food chain require detection levels in the ppb range. A direct measurement of contaminants at theses concentrations in a food matrix is not possible by any photonics principle. PHOTONFOOD aims to overcome this barrier by developing an integrated solution that combines innovations in smart paper-based sample treatment, mid-infrared (MIR) sensing and advanced data analysis. Mid-infrared (MIR) spectroscopy has proven to be the most reliable and broadly applicable spectroscopic method for detection, characterization and quantification of chemical and microbial contamination. To transform MIR sensing from existing lab solutions into a portable solution to broad usage in the food chain, PHTONFOOD aims to develop novel infrared light sources, specifically interband cascade light emitting diode (IC-LED), and interband and quantum cascade lasers (ICL/QCL). The light sources will be combined with sophisticated waveguide technology and 3D-paper microfluidics. The project will develop a solution consisting of: (1) A mid-fidelity (MI-FI) device with an envisioned low-price range that can be used for daily monitoring, and (2) a medium-price range high-fidelity (HI-FI) device for reference analysis and accreditation. The solution will be validated and demonstrated in real scenarios for fungal and water mould (oomycetes) contamination, mycotoxins in wheat, nuts, dried fruits and aquaponic-based herbs, as well as pesticides and antibiotics in aquaponic-based herbs. The research will be performed by a multidisciplinary and highly acknowledged research team in collaboration with leading mycotoxin analysis laboratories, an aquaponics farm, a distributor of dry foods and farms with on-site food processing and vending. Strategies for transferring the obtained data and integrating it into data platforms for tracing food contamination, improving food quality and reducing waste will be developed.
