Borylated conjugated materials

Recent work at the University of Manchester has developed an efficient synthetic method for transition metal free electrophilic borylation of aromatics and heteroaromatics. This approach has recently been extended to the fusion of conjugated materials containing the acceptor moiety benzothiadiazole – a group that is ubiquitous in materials for organic electronics. This functionalization leads to a significant increase in the electron affinity of the materials and a considerable reduction in the band gap, consistent with near-IR emission in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs), ambipolar organic field effect transistor (OFET) mobility, improved n-type stability and effective light harvesting in organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs). The BORCOM project will use this methodology to deliver novel molecules and polymers that exhibit high electron affinities and small band gaps by functionalization of azole or azine containing acceptors in the conjugated backbone. The performance of the new materials as n-type semiconductors in OFETs, light harvesting and electron acceptors in OPVs and dopants/emitters in OLEDs will be evaluated.
Pavlov and Cajal: Two different pathways to a Nobel Prize

Ivan Pavlov (1849-1936) and Santiago Ramón y Cajal (1852-1934) were two contemporary scientists who not only had a great impact on Russian and Spanish science but also on the international stage. Both shared several common features in their life and work, yet they followed fundamentally different paths during their training as scientists. While Pavlov received his laboratory training under the guidance of Ilya Tsion (1843-1912), Cajal did not receive any formal training within a particular laboratory nor did he have a mentor in the traditional sense, rather he was mainly self-taught, although he was supported by key figures like Maestre de San Juan (1828-1890) and Luis Simarro (1851-1921). In this article, we compare the scientific training of these two Nobel Prize laureates and the influences they received during their scientific lives.
Frequency band structure of locally resonant periodic flexural beams suspended with force–moment resonators

Since the introduction of locally resonant (LR) phononic meta-materials and structures a decade ago, there has been a quest for wide band-gaps of elastic wave attenuation in a low frequency range of practical importance. We investigate periodic Euler?Bernoulli beams suspended with two degrees of freedom force?moment resonators. Based on mathematical analysis and calculations, we present their dispersive characteristics in flexural wave attenuation and propagation. As a prime focus, we identify the appearance a below-resonance band-gap of Bragg-scattering (BS) type?in addition to the normal post-resonance BS band-gap?and the dependence of their edge frequencies on the resonator parameters. Furthermore, we present a full characterization of four different groups of pass and stop frequency bands and six distinct types of transitions between them, with conditions for all band edge frequencies. Our results indicate potentially richer dispersion properties in LR periodic structures with resonators of multiple degrees of freedom than those with the conventional force-only (or moment-only) resonators.
Bio-Based local sustainable circular wear

HEREWEAR innovates with a holistic, systemic approach towards the creation of an EU market for locally-produced circular textiles and clothing made from bio-based waste. New material solutions will build on the latest bio-based polyesters and cellulose developments. Three novel waste streams (seaweed, manure, straw) will be developed for cellulosic textile fibres. Emerging sustainable technologies for wet and melt spinning, for yarn and fabric making, will be developed and piloted at semi-industrial scale. For finishing innovation, coating and colouring biobased agents will be evolved. Microfibre release will be significantly reduced via measures all along the textile manufacturing process.
Garment prototypes for streetwear and corporate clothing will be produced by connecting up microfactories, organised into regional value creation circles; or by platform-supported, networked production resources. Use phase and end-of-life processing management - repair, re-use, recycle - will be implemented through novel structures. Full transparency will be provided through blockchain-enabled labelling and the configuration of a digital twin, informed with LCA information. A database and guidelines will be produced to support the design of fashion goods; with a focus on the best performance for bio-based materials and for reuse/recycling. Further guidelines will help the industry to take-up these results.
The consortium includes 6 research organisations, 1 LE and 8 SMEs coming from EU and 1 from US. To maximise impact, we will build on the TCBL community (>240 sustainable textile businesses) and use the SOURCEBOOK platform (>25000 organisations). Via these networks, blueprints for the transition to bio-based circular textiles will be shared and implemented. That way HEREWEAR aims to establish a bio-based circular textile clothing market segment of ca. €300 million, thus trying to maintain ca. 1200 textile manufacturing jobs in EU.

Correlation between contrast-enhanced ultrasound quantitative parameters with microvessel density in ovarian masses

Objective To assess the correlation between the parameters of contrast-enhanced ultrasound(CEUS)and microvessel density(MVD)in ovarian masses.Methods Forty-eight patients with fifty-one ovarian masses were enrolled in this study.All patients took CEUS examinations and quantitative analysis using SonoLiver software.The patients were divided into benign and malignant groups according to the pathological findings.Immunohistochemistry was performed to evaluate the level of MVD in ovarian masses.The relationship between CEUS parameters and MVD counts was statistically analyzed.Results The maximal intensity(IMAX)and area under the curve(AUC)in the malignant group were higher than those in the benign group(24.72±5.15 vs.7.53±5.90 and 1940.97±565.96 vs.397.57±299.46,P0.05).The MVD in ovarian malignant group was significantly higher than that in benign group(32.5±10.4 vs.12.7±4.4,P0.05).IMAX and AUC were significantly correlated with the level of MVD in ovarian masses(IMAX:r=0.42,P=0.009 and AUC:r=0.57,P=0.008).Conclusion PI and AUC of ovarian masses in CEUS were correlated significantly with MVD,which could be helpful for the assessment of tumor vascular distribution in ovarian masses.
Traceability at wine industry through integrated labelling of typicality, health protection effect and organoleptic attributes

The wine market has changed dramatically in the last fifty years, moving from small national markets, scarcely spread and limited to specialists, to the globalized web revolution. Wine industry represents an important part of both agriculture and food industry in many countries (i.e ES, FR and IT represent alone a total of 32% of world vineyard surface area, being within top 5 world producers of grapes in 2018). However, wine industry is threatened by counterfeit products and illicit trades. The overall research and technology development goal of TRACEWINDU is to improve productivity of vineyards by using novel combination of Plant Protection Products while simultaneously geographic origin analysis is integrated in a multi-approach strategy to ensure wine traceability/authentication. Such approach will be correlated with the obtained outputs of sensory analysis to generate a labelling score chart data in form of product passport included in smart tags. The smart tag are physical labels with unique item-level identifiers in form of QR codes for digital and dynamic information sharing and provisioning of all relevant product information throughout product’s lifecycle, and transparency of product data facilitating decentralized blockchain technology. Through implemented smart tags, TRACEWINDU supports tracing bottles back directly to producer and each time a bottle changes hands, the origin is updated, and ownership is transferred, and those bottles certified at the time and place of production, by producers will carry even more value in secondary markets. Overall, TRACEWINDU aims to foster, improve and develop permanent international and inter-sector collaboration between academic research centers and private sector, enhancing the exchange of knowledge, best practices, know-how, innovations, experience, mutual cooperation and culture of work at different regions and countries (ES, FR, IT, ME, RS, AR) through a series of scheduled secondments.
Selenium, Vanadium, and Chromium as Micronutrients to Improve Metabolic Syndrome

Trace metals play an important role in the proper functioning of carbohydrate and lipid metabolism. Some of the trace metals are thus essential for maintaining homeostasis, while deficiency of these trace metals can cause disorders with metabolic and physiological imbalances. This article concentrates on three trace metals (selenium, vanadium, and chromium) that may play crucial roles in controlling blood glucose concentrations possibly through their insulin-mimetic effects. For these trace metals, the level of evidence available for their health effects as supplements is weak. Thus, their potential is not fully exploited for the target of metabolic syndrome, a constellation that increases the risk for cardiovascular disease and type 2 diabetes. Given that the prevalence of metabolic syndrome is increasing throughout the world, a simpler option of interventions with food supplemented with well-studied trace metals could serve as an answer to this problem. The oxidation state and coordination chemistry play crucial roles in defining the responses to these trace metals, so further research is warranted to understand fully their metabolic and cardiovascular effects in human metabolic syndrome.
Condom use, Sexual behaviour and STD risk of HIV/AIDS Rural men in Gianyar, Bali

HIV-AIDS case in Bali each year continued to increase. Rural areas rarely got the intervention of HIV-AIDS program. Whereas cases of HIV-AIDS in Bali continues to rise and cafes in rural areas that provide female sex worker. This condition causes the spread of HIV-AIDS rapidly increased in rural areas. The study was done in a qualitative and quantitative mix in Gianyar regency. Observation participated and survey to 150 rural men and in-depth interview to 15 rural man that was risky. Respondents were selected based on snowballing sampling. Respondents were met from a place they like to hang out in the village shops, fields, village roads, banjo hall (a village meeting place). Rural men consistent use condom only 24.67%, have experience with sexual transmitted disease 46.67%, sexual contact with direct and indirect female sex worker 29.33%, get information from electronic media and mass media 72%, knowledge respondent about HIV-AIDS still low which 14% don’t know and 58% less know. The Rural men usually went to the place of prostitution with his group, most of the rural man did not feel comfortable used the condoms. Some of them had been affected by sexual transmitted diseases and usually bought medicine themselves or being told by a friend. The habit bought medicine on their own without the proper dosage and not to health services increased the risk of HIV transmission. Sexual behaviors that did not use condoms and changed partners was at risk of the spread of HIV/ IDS. Health promotion interventions need to be done on rural areas so that their behavior could decrease risk for HIV.
MESOSTRUCTURED MATERIAL HAVING A HIGH ALUMINIUM CONTENT AND COMPOSED OF SPHERICAL PARTICLES OF SPECIFIC SIZE

A mesostructured material is described that is composed of at least two elementary spherical particles, each of said particles comprising a mesostructured matrix based on aluminium oxide, said matrix having a pore diameter between 1.5 and 30 nm and an aluminium oxide content that represents more than 46% by weight relative to the weight of said matrix, which matrix has amorphous walls of thickness between 1 and 30 nm, said elementary spherical particles having a diameter D greater than 10 µm and less than or equal to 100 µm (10 100). Said mesostructured matrix may also contain silicon oxide. Each of the spherical particles of the mesostructured material may also contain zeolite nanocrystals so as to form a material having a mixed porosity of both mesostructured and zeolitic nature. The preparation of said material is also described.
Microelectronic Device with Magnetic Excitation Wires

The invention relates to a microelectronic device (200), particularly a magnetic biosensor, comprising B/E-electrodes (21) that can generate a magnetic field (B) in a sample chamber (10). The device further comprises E-electrodes (23, 24) that can generate an electrical field (E) in the sample chamber (10) in cooperation with the B/E-electrodes (21). Thus the B/E-electrodes are used for two purposes. Electrical fields (E) in the sample chamber (10) may particularly be used for pumping and/or mixing of a fluid sample or for a stringency test of particle bindings.

The folding transportable structure provides a strong, safe, insulated weatherproof structure with a quick setup time, and requires NO tools or separate loose components for assembly.
Renewed Demands for Mine Water Management

The intensity and diversity of resource development projects has increased by orders of magnitude over the past two decades. At the same time, there has been an emphasis on environmental issues, decontamination of former industrial sites, a recognition of global warming issues, and a focus on the ability of project developers to initiate, operate, and close transient projects without compromising the land and water resource values that underpin existing and future land uses. This concurrence of issues is creating a massive demand for hydrogeologists and groundwater engineers throughout the world. Neither academic institutions nor their funding bodies have foreseen this demand. As a consequence, Australia is seeking to fill its demands by either temporary or permanent importation of skills but, since the same issues afflict other countries, or may come to do so in the near future, the Australian approach will probably be only marginally successful. Another issue confronting all countries active in groundwater management is that the range of skills now required for competent groundwater management around resource development projects have increased. These cannot be readily met by simply increasing the training load on new industry entrants. Rather, delegation of expertise will be necessary and management teams will need to include diverse professions in teams in order to cover the range of responsibilities that must be applied if sustainable decisions are to be made. The authors believe that there is an urgent need for groundwater managers to take up the learning opportunities and expand their skills by working even more internationally. This process should ensure cross fertilization of experience to the benefit of all the countries where groundwater issues are taken seriously.
Efficacy of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone in intrauterine insemination: a systematic review and meta-analysis

To evaluate the efficacy of luteal phase support with vaginal progesterone in women undergoing intrauterine insemination (IUI).Systematic review and meta-analysis. Randomized controlled trials (RCT) comparing supplementation of luteal phase with vaginal progesterone among women undergoing IUI versus a control group were included. The main outcome assessed was live birth rate.Five RCT met the inclusion criteria. In all 1,271 patients were included (951 IUI cycles in the progesterone group, 935 in the control group). Women treated with vaginal progesterone achieved significantly higher live birth rate (risk ratio [RR] 1.94, 95 % confidence interval [CI] 1.36 to 2.77,), and clinical pregnancy rate (RR 1.41, 95 % CI 1.14 to 1.76) as compared with controls. In the subgroup analysis per stimulation protocol, this beneficial effect of receiving progesterone was only observed in the group stimulated with gonadotropins (RR 2.28, 95 % CI 1.49 to 3.51), compared to the group stimulated with clomiphene citrate (CC) (RR 1.30, 95 % CI 0.68 to 2.50). No differences were observed in the miscarriage and multiple pregnancy rates.The supplementation of luteal phase with vaginal progesterone significantly increases live birth among women undergoing IUI when receiving gonadotropins for ovulation induction. Women receiving CC to induce ovulation do not seem to benefit from this treatment.
Pediatric Specialty Transport Teams Are Not Associated With Decreased 48-Hour Pediatric Intensive Care Unit Mortality: A Propensity Analysis of the VPS, LLC Database

The purpose of this study was to determine if pediatric specialty pediatric team (SPT) interfacility-transported children from community emergency departments to a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU) have improved 48-hour mortality.This is a multicenter, historic cohort analysis of the VPS, LLC PICU clinical database (VPS, LLC, Los Angeles, CA) for all PICU directly admitted pediatric patients ≤ 18 years of age from January 1, 2007, to March 31, 2009. Categoric variables were analyzed by the chi-square and Mann-Whitney tests for non-normally distributed continuous variables. The propensity score was determined by multiple logistic regression analysis. Nearest neighbor matching developed emergency medical services SPT pairs by similar propensity score. Multiple regression analyses of the matched pairs determined the association of SPT with 48-hour PICU mortality. P values < .05 were considered significant.This study included 3,795 PICU discharges from 12 hospitals. SPT-transported children were more severely ill, younger in age, and more likely to have a respiratory diagnosis (P < .0001). Unadjusted 48-hour PICU mortality was statistically significantly higher for SPT transports (2.04% vs. 0.070%, P = .0028). Multiple regressions adjusted for propensity score, illness severity, and PICU site showed no significant difference in 48-hour PICU mortality.No significant difference in adjusted 48-hour PICU mortality for children transported by transport team type was discovered.
When and how to be creative? neuro-cognitive investigation of creative metacognition.

Creativity, defined as the ability to generate novel and effective ideas, elevates cultural progress and as a basis for innovation is crucial for enhancing economic competitiveness and strengthening society. On personal level, creativity increases well-being, positive affect, flourishing, and plays an essential role in learning. Creative behavior is an agentic decision and it also depends on the conviction about one’s own abilities to manage the creativity challenge and on how much creativity is valued by that person and surroundings. The constellation of beliefs that determine a person’s engagement and performance on creative endeavors called creative self-beliefs. It was proved that these self-beliefs play an intermediary role between creative abilities and creative action behavior So far, of the all components of creative self-beliefs we know the least about creative metacognition, which is defined as a combination of creative self-knowledge (knowing one’s own creative strengths and limitations) and contextual knowledge (knowing when, where, how, and why to be creative). Even though several researchers and theorists pointed out that creative metacognition plays an essential role in the process of creative potential realization, there is still very little research on this topic.Based on available theories and research results, we propose a two-stage research program to extend knowledge about individual differences in creative metacognition (CMC) considering 1) CMC accuracy and 2) CMC regulation facets from a behavioral and neuroscientific perspective. The Maria Skłodowska Fellowship participation will facilitate successful execution of the project, but also target areas, in which I require additional skill development to prepare and position me for a career as an independent researcher, ready to gain habilitation.
