The origins of the legal protection of heritage. legislation on the safeguard of monuments and artworks issued in 15th- to 18th-century europe.

LAWLOVE proposes an analysis of the laws on the protection of artworks and monuments that were issued in the European countries between early 1400s and late 1700s. The objective is to develop a comparative analysis of legislation through both a juridical and an art historical perspective, to understand the systems established in early-modern and modern Europe to administer, protect, supervise, conserve, maintain, classify and record what was thought of as “heritage” in various states.
Research will be carried out on original records related to legislation, including documents preserved in archives and institutes in Europe, and will involve an interdisciplinary approach to Art History, Cultural History, History of Restoration and Conservation, Legal History, Comparative Law, History of Heritage Legislation, and History of Administration.
Research objectives will include an understanding of: the conceptual core of legislation; the systems of administration/supervision prescribed by law; the legal instruments provided to implement the law.
Research results will include: a translation of the corpus of legislation into English; a study of the development of a consistent concept of “heritage”; a study of the practices established to administer, restore, safeguard, catalogue the heritage in 15th- to 18th-century Europe.
LAWLOVE will establish a new state-of-the-art and found a first history of legislation on the protection of the artefacts in Europe, which at the moment is completely lacking, dealing also with questions related to the EU policy-making on the preservation of the heritage.
A specific training-through-research will help the fellow to acquire: new research competencies; methodologies and expertise in new interdisciplinary areas; transferable skills; skills in project/financial management; writing/lecturing/communication skills. The fellow will refine her maturity and independence as academic, increasing her competitiveness for future career opportunities.
Energy system transition through stakeholder activation, education and skills development

ENTRUST provides mapping of Europe’s energy system (key actors & their intersections, technologies, markets, policies, innovations) and an in-depth understanding of how human behaviour around energy is shaped by both technological systems and socio-demographic factors (esp. gender, age and socio-economic status). New understandings of energy-related practices and an intersectional approach to the socio-demographic factors in energy use will be deployed to enhance stakeholder engagement in Europe’s energy transition.  
The role of gender will be illuminated by intersectional analyses of energy-related behaviour & attitudes towards energy technologies, which will assess how multiple identities and social positions, combine to shape practices. These analyses will be integrated within a transitions management framework which takes account of the complex meshing of human values and identities with technological systems. The third key paradigm informing the research is the concept of energy citizenship, with a key goal of ENTRUST being to enable individuals overcome barriers of gender, age and socio-economic status to become active participants in their own energy transitions. 
Central to the project will be an in-depth engagement with 5 very different communities across the continent, who will be invited to be co-designers of their own energy transition. The consortium  brings a diverse array of expertise to bear in assisting and reflexively monitoring these communities as they work to transform their energy behaviours, generating innovative transition pathways and business models capable of being replicated elsewhere in Europe. 
Deliverables will include a policy tool-kit incorporating contemporary best practice in promoting energy transitions at a Europe-wide level; a suite of innovative transition pathways and community engagement tools designed to stimulate dialogue and break down barriers to behaviour change and the adoption new technologies at a community level.
HYDROPHILIZED SILICONE PARTICLES AND MAKING METHOD

Surfaces of silicone particles are hydrophilized by plasma treatment. The hydrophilized silicone particles are readily dispersible in aqueous materials without a need for dispersants, typically surfactants. In aqueous cosmetic applications externally applied to the skin such as skin care cosmetics, make-up cosmetics, antiperspirant cosmetics, and UV care cosmetics, for example, products free of skin irritation concern can be formulated because formulation is possible without a need for surfactants.
AN INJECTION TIP AND METHOD FOR NUCLEATING AND PROPAGATING HYDAULIC FRACTURES FROM PROBE RODS

An injection tip assembly 10 and methods for use more reliably provide for delivery of fluid substances, such as materials that promote removal, destruction, or isolation of contaminants, into targeted zones within soil or bedrock. The injection tip assembly 10 permits the application of pressurized fluid 163 so as to erode or cut a desired cavity or eroded volume 164 within the subsurface 14, allows for timely observation, adjustment, and control of pressure within the cavity, and directs the delivery of a second substance or fluid that may incorporate desired materials. The consequence of managed erosion and pressure control is to nucleate and propagate a hydraulic fracture of desirable form that optimally delivers remedial agents throughout the targeted formation.
Environmental protection and enhancement in the coastal territories

The project concerns the coastal habitats of the Veneto Region, which are managed by Veneto Agricoltura and have been acknowledged as Sites of Community Importance (SCI) and/or Special Protection Areas (SPA) in keeping with the “Habitat” and “Birds” Directives of the European Community, and are protected by national and regional legislation, as is the case for Bosco Nordio Integral Nature Reserve and Ca’Mello Oasis. Specifically, the project aims at the environmental protection and requalification of territories and their enhancement by means of educational-information activities and the improvement of the area’s fruition and accessibility. Special web pages will be designed for Veneto Agricoltura’s website and for the site www.parks.it., the internet site of Italian Park Federation. With special regard to the Bosco Nordio Reserve, initiatives have been planned in the field of environmental heritage protection (maintenance of infrastructures, surveillance services, fire-fighting equipment), study and enhancement of the fauna (re-introduction of the European Pond Turtle -Emys orbicularis, and its reproduction for the aim of reentry in the environment), preparation of thematic visiting routes accessible to disabled persons, promotion of naturalistic education initiatives. In the Vallevecchia SCI/SPA the project envisages renaturation interventions in reflooded wetlands, forestation, research and monitoring activities on the pathogens of the coastal pine forest. Once again the environmental improvement interventions are coupled with environmental education and dissemination, especially through the management of the Naturalistic Education Centre. Lastly, in the Ca’ Mello Oasis SCI, phytopathological fight measures have been planned in the coastal forest.
Modification of three hardwoods with an N-methylol melamine compound and a metal-complex dye

This study evaluated the combined modification and staining of ash, beech and maple wood with a low molecular weight N-methylol melamine compound (NMM) and a metal-complex dye. Wood samples were treated with aqueous solutions of 10, 20 and 30 wt% NMM and 5 wt% of the dye. The treatment caused the fixation of the water-soluble dye by the NMM resin. Vacuum pressure impregnation of unsealed wood blocks did not result in different solution uptake and weight percent gain after curing among the three species, but sealing of the surfaces of the wood blocks to allow penetration only into one direction revealed easiest penetrability of beech followed by maple and ash. UV micro-spectrophotometry and light microscopy indicated that NMM was partly deposited in the cell wall and partly in the lumens. Penetration of the metal-complex dye was shown by means of X-ray micro-analysis (SEM–EDX). The study shows that a combined resin modification and staining of the three wood species tested is possible and that NMM causes fixation of the water-soluble dye.

A model for potato storage organ differentiation from the cambial meristem

Plant species forming storage organs like bulbs, tubers, or tuberous roots are cultivated as staple food and feed crops because of their high starch caloric content, and elevated yields per hectare. These organs can differentiate from the petioles, stems or the roots, in a secondary growth program whose control is little understood. Tubers and bulbs serve as propagation organs to the plant and remain dormant in soil during winter, to be reactivated the following spring and generate a new plant that is genetically identical to the mother plant. Plants sense short days and cool nights as an indicator of the approaching winter. In potato, these external cues activate expression of a member of the FLOWERING LOCUS T (FT) gene family acting as a main tuberigen signal, on be transported to the underground stolons. In this proposal I aim at characterizing the genes acting downstream of FT, and to identify the cells that respond to this mobile signal, thereby serving as tuber initials. As storage organs can initiate from different tissues, my working hypothesis is that this secondary growth process relies on the cambium meristem, which is induced to divide and differentiate into storage parenchyma instead of its default pathway to xylem vessels. Outcomes of this work will not only contribute to a better comprehension of cambium function, but unveil key regulators for storage organ identity which will imply a major breakthrough in our understanding on how these highly economical relevant plant organs are differentiated.
Social anxiety disorder in the Canadian population: Exploring gender differences in sociodemographic profile

The present study examined the prevalence and sociodemographic profile of Canadians with social anxiety disorder using data from the Canadian Community Health Survey Cycle 1.2 (N = 36,984). Social anxiety disorder was assessed using the World Mental Health Composite International Diagnostic Interview and sociodemographic variables were explored by gender. Results suggested significant gender differences for prevalence, comorbid depression, marital status, living arrangements, employment status in the past 12 months, and self-reported mental health status. These observations suggest that individuals with social anxiety disorder experience life disruption, and that of all socially anxious respondents, females may be experiencing more distress than males.
Exploiting binary translation for fast ASIP design space exploration on fpgas

Complex Application Specific Instruction-set Processors (ASIPs) expose to the designer a large number of degrees of freedom, posing the need for highly accurate and rapid simulation environments. FPGA-based emulators represent an alternative to software cycle-accurate simulators, preserving maximum accuracy and reasonable simulation times. The work presented in this paper aims at exploiting FPGA emulation within technology aware design space exploration of ASIPs. The potential speedup provided by reconfigurable logic is reduced by the overhead of RTL synthesis/implementation. This overhead can be mitigated by reducing the number of FPGA implementation processes, through the adoption of binary-level translation. Hereby we present a prototyping method that, given a set of candidate ASIP configurations, defines an overdimensioned ASIP architecture, capable of emulating all the design space points under evaluation. This approach is then evaluated with a design space exploration case study. Along with execution time, by coupling FPGA emulation with activity-based physical modeling, we can extract area/power/energy figures.

New Earth-Abundant Thin Film Solar Cells Based on Chalcogenides

At the end of 2017 roughly 1.8% of the worldwide electricity came from solar photovoltaics (PV), which is foreseen to have a key role in all major future energy scenarios with an installed capacity around 5 TW by 2050. Despite silicon solar cells currently rule the PV market, the extremely more versatile thin film-based devices (mainly Cu(In,Ga)Se2 and CdTe ones) have almost matched them in performance and present room for improvement. The low availability of some elements in the present commercially available PV technologies and the recent strong fall of silicon module price below 1 $/Wp focused the attention of the scientific community on cheap earth-abundant materials. In this framework, thin film solar cells based on Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) and the related sulfur selenium alloy Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSSe) were strongly investigated in the last 10 years. More recently, chalcogenide PV absorbers potentially able to face TW range applications better than CZTS and CZTSSe due to the higher abundance of their constituting elements are getting considerable attention. They are based on both MY2 (where M = Fe, Cu, Sn and Y = S and/or Se) and Cu2XSnY4 (where X = Fe, Mn, Ni, Ba, Co, Cd and Y = S and/or Se) chalcogenides. In this work, an extensive review of emerging earth-abundant thin film solar cells based on both MY2 and Cu2XSnY4 species is given, along with some considerations on the abundance and annual production of their constituting elements.
Advanced low-carbon energy measures based on thermal energy storage in buildings: A review

Abstract Thermal energy storage and management in builtable dings play a major role in the transition towards a low-carbon economy. Buildings are the largest energy-consuming sector in the world, where heating and cooling are around 60–70%. This paper provides a comprehensive review of advanced low-carbon energy measures based on thermal energy storage technologies for heating and cooling applications in buildings. With the aim of structuring and identifying the most promising solutions towards low-carbon energy buildings, a global classification of technologies for thermal storage and management is carried out. The most advanced commercial solutions, emerging technologies, and recent research activities reported in the literature and international projects are analysed. The main achievements are reported together with the status of research and the most promising solutions in the short- and long-term. It is a comprehensive review of the most outstanding applications, operation modes, implementation techniques and their potential benefits. Solutions based on sensible and latent heat storage show a higher development status and the best performance, through the use of aerothermal energy in free-cooling ventilation systems, solar energy through small-scale thermal energy storage units, and large-scale underground thermal energy storage systems. For an optimal integration in buildings, they should be combined with heating and cooling generation technologies through smart demand-side management strategies. Regarding thermochemical storage applications for buildings, despite the high energy density of thermochemical storage materials and their reduced heat losses, at the current research stage, the final volume of prototypes is highly penalized by the required auxiliary components. Moreover, recent studies report low-to-moderate efficiency values and poor heat transfer rates after a relatively large number of storage cycles. Therefore, although promising developments are expected in this field, at the present time the greater advances with thermochemical storage processes have been obtained on cooling applications based on solar sorption cycles and large-scale systems.
Optical systems exhibiting improved lifetime using beam shaping techniques

An optical system includes a lens assembly and a light source. The lens assembly includes an optical lens positioned to transmit and refract light provided by the light source, and a lens holder coupled to the optical lens and maintaining a position of the optical lens relative to the light source. The optical lens is coupled to the lens holder with a bonding agent arranged in an interrupted configuration at positions proximate to a circumference of the optical lens. The light source provides light to the optical lens of the lens assembly that has an optical footprint that includes a plurality of high-intensity regions separated from one another by low-intensity regions and the bonding agent is positioned in a circumferential orientation relative to the light source such that the bonding agent is spaced apart from the high-intensity regions of the optical footprint of the light.
Synthesis and photopolymerisation of new fluorinated macromonomers for the obtaining of high performance fluoropolymers

The PhotoFluo project consists in a consortium of three teams (two from Europe and one from Canada) committed to work for developing novel fluoropolymers suitable for optical and electronic devices, membranes for fuel cells and Li batteries, microfluidics, and biomaterials. This ambitious goal will be achieved starting from designing new perfluoropolyalkylether building blocks (PFPAE) improving safety (not bioaccumulative like perfluoroalkylics) and having chemical inertness, flexibility in a wide temperature range, very low refractive index and wettability. PFPAE will be chain extended to tune final properties; exploiting OH functionalities, these precursors will be functionalized to make telechelic macromonomers for suitable crosslinking (via both radical and ionic processes). The polymers will be synthesized by photoinduced polymerization, chosen as an efficient and eco-friendly process: the polymer formation is fast (no more than minutes compared to hours requested by thermal processes), is solvent free, is carried out at room temperature consuming low amount of energy, permits spatial resolution, as it mainly occurs in the illuminated areas. After obtaining an original portfolio of PFPAE polymers, they will be fully characterized and tested in view of innovate applications. 
The project is conducted by research groups with a relevant scientific record in the fields: (i) fluorochemistry (TWU, Canada), (ii) photopolymerization (iii) polymer science (POLITO, Italy and ENSCM, France). The combination of expertises makes the objective  feasible. For the implementation of the program, 24 secondments are planned to exploit the complementarities of the different expertises of each groups, to share them and to reinforce young researchers career.  The project  includes a strong dissemination plan to report on the results, not only to the scientific community, but also to potential users and non-specialized audience.
APPARATUS FOR PNEUMATICALLY PLACING SEMI-FLUID MATERIALS

Quick-setting concrete is applied to a work surface by air conveying wet concrete through a hose to a nozzle and air conveying a dry accelerator powder for the wet concrete through a separate hose into juncture with the stream of suspended wet concrete a predetermined distance back of the nozzle. A positive metering concrete pump meters the concrete into a T-intersection where compressed air entering through one side of the top of the T impinges at substantially right angles to the flow of wet concrete through the base of the T resulting in shearing off of discrete pieces of wet concrete which are conveyed through a hose attached to the other side of the T-intersection. The positive metering concrete pump is directly attached to a positive metering device for the accelerator powder so as to maintain the ratio of wet concrete to accelerator constant.
Multi-year Satellite Observations of Sulfur Dioxide Gas Emissions and Lava Extrusion at Bagana Volcano, Papua New Guinea

Bagana, arguably the most active volcano in Papua New Guinea, has been in a state of near-continuous eruption for over 150 years, with activity dominated by sluggish extrusion of thick blocky lava flows. If current extrusion rates are representative, the entire edifice may have been constructed in only 300–500 years. Bagana exhibits a remarkably high gas flux to the atmosphere, with persistent sulfur dioxide (SO2) emissions of several thousand tons per day. This combination of apparent youth and high outgassing fluxes is considered unusual among persistently active volcanoes worldwide. We have used satellite observations of SO2 emissions and thermal infrared radiant flux to explore the coupling of lava extrusion and gas emission at Bagana. The highest gas emissions (up to 10 kt/day) occur during co-extrusive intervals, suggesting a degree of coupling between lava and gas, but gas emissions remain relatively high (~2,500 t/d) during inter-eruptive pauses. These passive emissions, which clearly persist for decades if not centuries, require a large volume of degassing but non-erupting magma beneath the volcano with a substantial exsolved volatile phase to feed the remarkable SO2 outgassing: an additional ~1.7–2 km3 basaltic andesite would be required to supply the excess SO2 emissions we observe in our study interval (2005 to present). That this volatile phase can ascend freely to the surface under most conditions is likely to be key to Bagana's largely effusive style of activity, in contrast with other persistently active silicic volcanoes where explosive and effusive eruptive styles alternate.
