Advanced sylil modified polymers for commercial transportation and automotive elastic adhesive markets

Automotive/transport industry is reducing vehicles weight, thus spurring the use of lightweight materials. Each car today contains 13-18 kg of adhesives, and this amount will increase in the future. Moreover, Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEMs) and Aftermarket sectors need faster and more cost-efficient production processes to remain competitive. 
Polyurethanes (PU) are the most widespread adhesive type in the sector. However, they present toxicity (high VOC emissions) and harmful effects to the environment as well as the need of additional steps for surface preparation and primers. Silyl-modified-polymer (SiMP) adhesives are attracting special attention in the last years due to their greener nature (low VOC emissions and isocyanate/solvent free) and easy application (no need for primer). Nowadays, none of the available SiMP solutions reach the necessary mechanical properties to fulfil the safety standards. 
NPT's Advanced-SiMP is an innovative solution with technical, environmental and economic benefits over current solutions. Advanced-SiMP is the first high-performance SiMP adhesive that keeps the same advantages as standard SiMP, but with improved mechanical properties in terms of tensile strength and elongation. This unique combination of properties will offer the alternative to manufacturers to minimize the use of PU and produce in a more sustainable manner, complying with the stringent Regulations while also allowing for faster application. This implies an important save of time and production costs (average annual savings of €900k in manufacturing lines). The product can be customized according to the production standards of the end-user. 
At NPT (New Polyurethane Technologies), founded in 1993 in Bologna, we are experts in the development and production of high performance adhesives/sealants. We design and produce our own base polymers, contributing to a differentiation over competitors which allows us to have current sales in more than 70 countries.
En torno al surgimiento de la figura social del filósofo en las ciudades griegas

Se propone un estudio histórico de los filósofos presocráticos como seres sociales. Para ello se cruza la información de dos catálogos bien conocidos: Die Fragmente der Vorsokratiker de H. Diels y W. Kranz (8ª edición de 1956) y el Inventory of Arcaic and Classical Poleis dirigido por M.H. Hansen y T.H. Nielsen (2004). Los 106 filósofos del primer catálogo proceden de 40 de las 1035 ciudades examinadas en el segundo. Esta constatación se une al examen de las noticias biográficas sobre los filósofos y de las características de las ciudades donde viven. El retrato robot de la “ciudad con filósofos” señala el predominio de las ciudades coloniales, con territorios mayores, relaciones exteriores estables y una vida institucional rica y relativamente bien conocida. Estos aspectos inciden en su mayor complejidad social de la que los filósofos son un indicio añadido. Destaca, además, cómo las ideas filosóficas se difunden en buena medida por las redes que unen metrópolis y colonias y la escasa y tardía presencia de filósofos en Grecia continental.

Partitioning Real-Time Systems on Multiprocessors with Shared Resources

AbstractIn this paper we propose a blocking-aware partitioning algorithm which allocates a task set on a multiprocessor (multi-core) platform in a way that the overall amount of blocking times of tasks are decreased. The algorithm reduces the total utilization which, in turn, has the potential to decrease the total number of required processors (cores). In this paper we evaluate our algorithm and compare it with an existing similar algorithm. The comparison criteria includes both number of schedulable systems as well as processor reduction performance.KeywordsCritical SectionBlocking TimeMixed ListSporadic TaskSchedulability TestThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

Increased neuronal PreP activity reduces Aβ accumulation, attenuates neuroinflammation and improves mitochondrial and synaptic function in Alzheimer disease's mouse model

Accumulation of amyloid-β (Aβ) in synaptic mitochondria is associated with mitochondrial and synaptic injury. The underlying mechanisms and strategies to eliminate Aβ and rescue mitochondrial and synaptic defects remain elusive. Presequence protease (PreP), a mitochondrial peptidasome, is a novel mitochondrial Aβ degrading enzyme. Here, we demonstrate for the first time that increased expression of active human PreP in cortical neurons attenuates Alzheimer disease's (AD)-like mitochondrial amyloid pathology and synaptic mitochondrial dysfunction, and suppresses mitochondrial oxidative stress. Notably, PreP-overexpressed AD mice show significant reduction in the production of proinflammatory mediators. Accordingly, increased neuronal PreP expression improves learning and memory and synaptic function in vivo AD mice, and alleviates Aβ-mediated reduction of long-term potentiation (LTP). Our results provide in vivo evidence that PreP may play an important role in maintaining mitochondrial integrity and function by clearance and degradation of mitochondrial Aβ along with the improvement in synaptic and behavioral function in AD mouse model. Thus, enhancing PreP activity/expression may be a new therapeutic avenue for treatment of AD.

Utilization of long-term care services under the public long-term care insurance program in Korea: Implications of a subsidy policy

South Korea introduced public long-term care insurance (LTCI) in 2008. This study examined the patterns of and factors associated with public long-term care (LTC) utilization among older LTCI beneficiaries in Korea, with special attention to the policy for subsidizing the co-payments of lower income populations.Using a 5% national representative sample of 280,290 older people aged 65 or older obtained from the 2010 national LTCI claims database, we examined socio-demographic and health factors associated with service utilization decisions, service type chosen, and the intensity of service use.About 5.48% of older adults in 2010 utilized the LTC provided under the Korean public LTCI, among which about 26.1% received a subsidy. Compared to their counterparts, the subsidized users were more likely to be low-income, female, and living alone. They were more likely to choose institutionalized care and spend to their monthly benefit limit while paying a lower co-payment. The factors associated with pattern and intensity of LTC utilization were not the same between subsidized and non-subsidized users.The findings imply the subsidy policy promotes equity of access to public LTC services. Further evaluation is necessary on the impact of the policy on the effectiveness of LTC utilization by socially marginalized populations.
Predicting transmissibilities of carbonate-hosted fault zones

This study aims to better understand the controls on carbonate fault seal in order to predict and model the influence of faults on fluid flow in the subsurface. Analysis of the main controls on fault rock formation and their respective permeabilities from several carbonate-hosted fault zones of varying displacements is used in this study to enhance our ability to predict and calculate the seal behaviour of carbonate faults, including their transmissibility and transmissibility multipliers. This has been done by examining the varying deformation style in different carbonate lithofacies and the resultant microstructures of each carbonate fault rock type and linking this to their measured petrophysical properties. Crucial factors on fault rock development has been discovered as being the juxtaposition of different carbonate lithofacies and fault displacement. These factors have significant control on the variety of deformation mechanisms active in fault rock production, fault rock permeability and hence a fault's hydraulic behaviour. Higher displacement fault zones creating juxtaposition of different carbonate lithofacies have less impact on flow than lower displacement fault zones.
Genetic diversity exploitation for innovative macro-algal biorefinery

The GENIALG project aims to boost the Blue Biotechnology Economy (BBE) by increasing the production and sustainable exploitation of two high-yielding species of the EU seaweed biomass: the brown alga Saccharina latissima and the green algae Ulva spp.  GENIALG will demonstrate the economic feasibility and environmental sustainability of cultivating and refining seaweed biomass in multiple use demanded products of marine renewable origin. The consortium integrates available knowledge in algal biotechnology and ready to use reliable eco-friendly tools and methods for selecting and producing high yielding strains in economically feasible quantities and qualities. By cracking the biomass and supplying a wide diversity of chemical compounds for existing as well as new applications and markets, GENIALG will anticipate the economic, social and environmental impacts of such developments in term of economic benefit and job opportunities liable to increase the socio-economic value of the blue biotechnology sector. In a larger frame, conservation and biosafety issues will be addressed as well as more social aspects such as acceptability and competition for space and water regarding other maritime activities. To achieve these objectives GENIALG will foster a trans-sectorial and complementary consortium of scientists and private companies. • GENIALG will involve a diversity of private companies already positioned in the seaweed sector individually for different applications (texturants, feed, agriculture, bioplastics, pharmaceuticals, personal care products…) in order to strengthen interactions for developing a bio-refinery concept and accelerate efficient and sustainable exploitation of seaweed biomass to bring new high-value products on the market.
The origin of the most massive black holes at high-z: BlueTides and the next quasar frontier

The growth of the most massive black holes in the early universe, consistent with the detection of highly luminous quasars at $z> 6$ implies sustained, critical accretion of material to grow and power them. Given a black hole seed scenario, it is still uncertain which conditions in the early Universe allow the fastest black hole growth. Large scale hydrodynamical cosmological simulations of structure formation allow us to explore the conditions conducive to the growth of the earliest supermassive black holes. We use the cosmological hydrodynamic simulation BlueTides, which incorporates a variety of baryon physics in a (400 Mpc/h)^3 volume with 0.7 trillion particles to follow the earliest phases of black hole critical growth. At z=8 the most massive black holes (a handful) approach masses of 10^8 Msun with the most massive (with M_BH = 4 x 10^8 Msun ) being found in an extremely compact spheroid-dominated host galaxy. Examining the large-scale environment of hosts, we find that the initial tidal field is more important than overdensity in setting the conditions for early BH growth. In regions of low tidal fields gas accretes 'cold' onto the black hole and falls along thin, radial filaments straight into the center forming the most compact galaxies and most massive black holes at earliest times. Regions of high tidal fields instead induce larger coherent angular momenta and influence the formation of the first population of massive compact disks. The extreme early growth depends on the early interplay of high gas densities and the tidal field that shapes the mode of accretion. Mergers play a minor role in the formation of the first generation, rare massive BHs.
Solid-State reactions for thermal energy storage

In this project proposal reversible solid-state chemical reactions (eutectoids, peritectoids) are proposed for the storing of thermal energy at high temperature (300-800 °C). The development of a novel heat storage concept, based on solid-solid reactions, proposed in this project, could contribute to open new scenarios in the thermal energy storage field. To the best of our knowledge, the use of this class of reactions for TES applications has not been explored so far. The goal of this study is the identification of solid-state reactions fulfilling a large number of scientific and technological requirements (high storage capacity, good thermal conductivity, mechanical and chemical stability, complete reversibility of a charging/discharging cycles etc.). 
For this scope, an interdisciplinary research strategy will be followed involving materials chemistry, physics and engineering disciplines to achieve a complete overview of their behaviour starting from basic research challenges, focused on the material development and characterization (reactivity, stability, kinetic, reversibility, heat and mass transfer etc.), up to arrive to the investigation of their feasibility in real applications (e.g. concentrated solar power technologies (CSP) and waste heat recovery). 
During the project a two direction transfer of knowledge will be applied. On one side, an intense training will be offered to the applicant by the host laboratory with the objective to increase his scientific and managerial skills. Secondment in one established European technological center with recognized international expertise in concentrating solar plants (CSP) technologies is also planned. On the other side, the applicant will make available the knowledge and competences matured along his career both to give an impulse to the scientific work and fulfil the objectives set in the project and to explore other funding opportunities and collaborations.
Sustainable mobility, affordable cities: how do workplace sustainability plans shape transport affordability in brussels and sofia?

‘Sustainable Mobility, Affordable Cities: How do workplace sustainable mobility plans shape transport affordability in Brussels and Sofia?' is a 2-year research action. The project involves an innovative comparative study of workplace mobility management programmes in Brussels, Belgium and Sofia, Bulgaria. The research will shed light on the socio-economic effects of environmentally-focused mobility measures. The action will use a mix of qualitative and quantitative research methods to examine the effects of workplace sustainable mobility plans on transport affordability for participating employees. The focus will be specifically on small privately owned businesses, and low-wage employees in sectors such as catering, cleaning and retail. These are sectors which have had limited involvement in sustainable travel planning to date. Alongside gathering key data, the project will help identify practical approaches to involving small employers in such inititatives.

Sustainability interventions in most European cities, including Brussels and Sofia, have had limited success to date in engaging such sectors in workplace mobility planning. Because of this, the research action incorporates an initial stage of identifying and recruiting up to four interested small employers, and working with them collaboratively to develop their workplace sustainable mobility plans. Following on from this initial phase inspired by action research methods, a quantitative survey and in-depth interviews will be used to grasp the effect of the sustainability measures on affordability. The unit of analysis will be the household, reflecting its importance in shaping travel behaviours. A mixed-method approach will incorporate quantitative aspects of expenditure alongside accessibility and everyday mobility practices. The project takes an integrative approach to environmental and social urban sustainability, with public engagement at the centre of the research design.
InnoXenia PLUS: Innovation in Tourism in the Adriatic-Ionian Macroregion PLUS

Tourism is one of the sectors most hardly hit during the COVID19 pandemic. The InnoXenia PLUS project has been designed in such a way so as to allow the exploitation of the tangible and intangible results of the previous Adrion InnoXenia project, optimize their value, enhance their impact and facilitate their integration at multiple levels, also taking into account the pandemic impact on tourism.
It, thus, pays particular attention to the sustainability of the results and the enhancement of their impacts at regional level through direct involvement of local and regional policy makers, stakeholders and enterprises.
The valorisation procedure ensures that all possible channels and opportunities are used so that InnoXenia’s outcomes reach as many potential beneficiaries as possible, in order to provide benefits that meet the specific needs of a wider audience of beneficiaries, achieving so the longevity and sustainability of the project.
The project envisaged activities:


1. Organization of phygital events, either in person or online, in all partner countries promoting the InnoXenia outcomes and results at national/regional level.


2. Organization of phygital stakeholders’ events, either in person or online, in all partner countries addressed to tourism stakeholders such as travel agencies, hotels representatives and other tourist operators, promoting practical application of InnoXenia products/practices.


3. Organization of events in cooperation with ADRION National Contact Points, either in person or online, in each partner country providing first-hand information on managing and implementing European projects to future potential beneficiaries hosting project and potential partners on future projects. 


4. Enhancement of InnoXenia produced strategies relevant to tourism so as to both address need for Covid 19 negative impact recovery and to make tourism more innovative and resilient to future relevant crises.
InnoXenia Plus will thus increase overall awareness on InnoXenia outputs and results, enhance them and promote their transferability, while facilitating also territorial cooperation in the ADRION partner territories.
