Task-specific tremor in violinists: Evidence of coactivation in the 3 to 8 Hz frequency range

Task-specific tremor in musicians severely impairs fine motor control. However, little is known about its pathophysiology. Here, we quantify electromyography (EMG) properties in primary bowing tremor-in particular, muscular coactivation-to determine whether primary bowing tremor affects a specific frequency range of coactivation.We quantitatively compared EMG properties of the wrist muscles between 4 professional violinists who had task-specific tremor and 4 age-matched healthy controls.We observed bowing tremor-specific muscular coactivation in the frequency range of 3 to 8 Hz only in the patients but not in the healthy controls. No muscular activity was observed at the resonance-frequency range.Our findings indicate an association between coactivation and bowing tremor at a specific frequency range (3-8 Hz). The absence of EMG activity and coactivation in the mechanical-reflex frequency of the wrist suggests that central mechanisms play a more dominant role than mechanical-reflex mechanisms in primary bowing tremor.
Development of Hypertension Management Mobile Application based on Clinical Practice Guidelines.

This study aims to develop and evaluate a mobile application for hypertension management based on Clinical Practice Guidelines. The application was developed according to Web-Roadmap methodology. In planning phase, we defined the tasks and product of each phase, selected clinical practice guidelines and extracted intervention items for hypertension management. In analysis phase, we analysed intervention items and made data dictionary, rules, use-case diagram, hypertension management ontology and tailored recommendations for the application. In design phase, we developed an entity-relations diagram, algorithm, and user interface and coded them in the implementation phase. In evaluation phase, first, the knowledge-base was evaluated for its accuracy by experts and they proposed three more detailed recommendations, which were added to the application. Second, mobile heuristics were evaluated. The evaluators pointed out 33 usability-related problems on mobile heuristics items. Out of these, three problems were solved by reflecting evaluators' comments.

Future-Oriented science education to enhance responsibility and engagement in the society of acceleration and uncertainty

The relation between science and society is strongly influenced by the impressive acceleration of scientific and technological development. Within this society of acceleration (H. Rosa), the young are experiencing a sense of derangement and an alarming sense of loss of future and hope. 
FEDORA will develop a future-oriented model to enable formal and informal science education to equip the young with thinking, foresight and action competence skills needed to grapple with the societal challenges. 
In particular, the project aims to address three forms of misalignment that emerge from the difficulties of the educational systems to keep the pace of societal changes: a) the clash between, on one hand, the vertical and hyper-specialized organization of teaching in disciplines and, on the other, the inter-multi-transdisciplinary, multi-actor and open character of the new modus operandi of R&I; b) the mismatch between the formalized and exclusive languages used in schools and the needs for new languages to enhance imagination and the capacity to talk about the contemporary challenges; c) the clash between the a-temporal or historically oriented teaching approaches and the need to support the young to construct visions of the future that empower actions in the present.
These forms of misalignment represent blind spots for science education that FEDORA will explore through a multi-layer (institutional, conceptual, cultural) research approach, an articulated structures of actions and a multiform set of research methodologies (qualitative and quantitative surveys, design-driven and Delphi Study methodologies,..). 
The actions and results will feed into recommendations for anticipatory policies aimed to mobilise visionary attitudes on open-schooling and to orient concrete institutional transformations to nurture, in secondary school students, a new sense of trust and desire needed to support an aware, responsible and sustainable participation in science-related societal issues.
Optical fiber array with lenses

An optical fiber array with lenses (10) connected with a plurality of optical fibers (90) is disclosed. The optical fiber array (10) comprises a base plate (11) having a first end surface (12) and a second end surface (13) opposite to the first end surface (12), a plurality of optical fibers (90) having a tip surface inserted and secured in each of the holes opened on the base plate (11), and a plurality of collimator lenses (82) installed on the second end surface facing the tip surfaces of the optical fiber (90). Each hole has a tapered inside wall having a diameter gradually decreasing from an opening on the first end surface (12) of the base plate (11) toward the second end surface and a parallel inside wall continuing from the tapered inside wall end. In the hole, a refraction index matching agent is preferably filled in between the tip surface of the optical fiber (90) and the collimator lens (82).
Transoceanic fishers: multiple mobilities in and out of the south china sea

In recent years, China’s and Vietnam’s militarized and subsidized fishing fleets have begun to shift their radical marine harvesting techniques, and accompanying trade, from the South China Sea to Africa and Oceania.  Scholarly analysis has largely assumed that fishers are instruments of their states’ geopolitical agendas, responding to regulations and incentives. This both obscures the actual motivations and modalities of fishers’ expansion of their fishing grounds and downplays the transoceanic networks connecting different fishers beyond state territories and localized fishing grounds in past and present. Charting this spike in maritime trespass, TransOcean will analyze and theorize how individuals and groups of fishers move in and out of legal and illegal, state and non-state categories of fisher, poacher, trader and smuggler, and how the emergent mobilities of Asian fishers interact and collide with those of Pacific and African fishers.

Deploying the innovative concept of relational and shifting multiple mobilities and employing thalassographic analysis, TransOcean develops a novel theoretical and methodological framework of fishers as mobile maritime actors who exploit their multiple occupations, incomes and networks to pursue transoceanic expansion. TransOcean studies, for the first time, diverse groups of interconnected fishers outside of territorially bounded fisheries and area studies, by analyzing mobilities beyond sea-borne migration or diasporic settlement. Though multi-scalar and globally oriented TransOcean remains firmly rooted in fine-grained ethnography, with a focus on Vietnamese and Chinese and African and Pacific fishers in specific on-shore nodal points, connected by the growing Sino-Vietnamese demand for illicit seafood. Thus, TransOcean breaks new methodological and theoretical ground for tackling intractable marine problems of significant scientific and policy value.
Fluoropolymer-coated textile material.

1. A process for laminating a textile material with a polyvinyl fluoride film comprising: preparing a polyvinyl fluoride dispersion (15) from a polyvinyl fluoride resin and a latent solvent so as to have a solids content of from 5 to 50%, by weight, coating a heated belt surface (21) (22) with said polyvinyl fluoride dispersion to a thickness that will give a dried film thickness not exceeding 25 mu m while maintaining the belt surface temperature adequate to heat the dispersion to a temperature high enough to gel the dispersion but below the fusion temperature of the resin, forming a gelled, coalesced polyvinyl fluoride film layer on the heated belt surface and maintaining contact with the heated belt surface long enough to remove enough of the latent solvent to coalesce the polyvinyl fluoride layer to form a cohesive gel, passing the textile material (10) adjacent to the cohesive gel so that the cohesive gel adheres to the textile material, and passing the textile material with the adhered cohesive gel into a nip point (33) (34) so as to form a laminate (35) of the textile material with the adhered cohesive gel and heating said laminate to temperatures high enough to fuse said polyvinyl fluoride film layer.
Multiscale analysis of thermomechanical behaviour of granular materials

Granular materials are ubiquitous in nature and in various industries, such as chemicals, pharmaceuticals, food and ceramics. Their thermomechanical behaviours are governed by the interactions between solid particles, as well as between particles and the surrounding media (gas or liquid). Although granular materials have been investigated extensively, there are still some unsolved challenging issues concerning the thermomechanical behaviours, including heat generation (i.e. self-heating) and transfer, and thermal effects on material properties and process performance. Furthermore, the unique thermomechanical attributes have led to emerging applications with granular materials, such as additive manufacturing, powder coating, high quality composites, insulation and efficient thermal processing for energy conservation, but there is a lack of mechanistic understanding of thermomechanical behaviour of granular materials in these emerging applications. MATHEGRAM will hence deliver a timely, concerted research and training programme to address these challenges, bringing together a multi-disciplinary and inter-sectorial consortium consisting of 6 leading academic institutes, 4 non-academic beneficiaries and 6 partner organisations from 8 EU member states. Our vision is to develop robust new numerical models and novel experimental techniques that can predict and characterise heat generation and transfer, as well as thermal effects in granular materials. The enhanced mechanistic understanding of granular materials will enable them to be used in diverse industries, while also achieving energy conservation and CO2 emission reduction. We will also train a cohort of 15 ESRs with balanced gender, who will be the next generation scientific and technological leaders with competency and the research and transferable skills to work effectively across disciplinary and sectoral boundaries.
Improving the energy efficiency of buildings through BIM and RFID technologies

The project aims to reinforce the transnational cooperation between enterprises and research institutes, improving the innovation basis for enterprises, specifically focusing on the “home system”. This improvement will be possible through the development of an integrated hardware and software system and of facades for the realisation and management of sustainable buildings, thus facing some of the main technological challenges for the sector, which will become more and more critical, such as the smart management of energy efficiency and buildings comfort.
Design and functioning of buildings need to be more and more optimized for the entire lifecycle based on BIM (Building Information Modeling), taking advantage of RFID sensors and integrated softwares of simulation and control. The aim of the project is the development of an integrated platform that overcomes current solutions’ limits (inadequate systems’ interoperability, difficulties on the application on existing buildings) which could be adopted or work as reference for SMEs. In fact, they have an important weight in the programme area. Secondly, the aim is to create facade systems with digital intelligence and new systems for controlling connected to sensors with RFID technology. These systems will allow a drastic reduction of the real energy consumption of buildings, increasing their efficiency and improving the maintenance and inspection of the elements.
Method for sensing gas composition and pressure

A method for sensing gas composition and gas pressure, based on the thermal constants of a variable electrical resistor, is presented. The method for sensing gas composition and pressure includes monitoring a variable electrical resistor whose dynamic thermal response is determined by the thermal conductivity and thermal capacity of the surrounding gas of a given atmospheric environment. In the thermal domain, the sensor has a low-pass characteristic, whose phase delay is determined by the thermodynamic characteristics of the surrounding gas such as composition and pressure. The method can be used for sensing gas composition and can also be used for sensing gas pressure.
Les stalles de l’ancien duché de Bretagne : de la fin de la guerre de Succession jusqu’au concile de Trente

The choir stalls of the ancient Duchy of Brittany present an exceptional corpus from the historical point of view as well as from that of the history of art. This thesis focuses on this particular church furniture, supplying its inventory, a study of its iconography and the history and conditions of its creation. The first step of the inventory reveals about ten groups of choir stalls still preserved in Breton churches, which, at least, represent more than 300 stalls and a thousand of sculptures. Themajority of those groups were created between the last decades of the 15th century and the middle of the 16th century. Furthermore, archives give a certain number of useful information for the comprehension of a context of their creation, patrons’ wishes and woodcarvers’ work. Carvers appear to be qualified independent workers possessing an important experience and qualification. The conditions of work depend on geographic and linguistic areas, type of patronage and, afortiori, the specific political and religious context of this period. For example, the Franco-Breton nobility plays a key role in this context, especially in the diffusion of Italian motifs. Iconography of the choir stalls is, finally, of a high interest because of the richness of motifs and the variety of references used in its. The opening of the duchy to the world trade in the late Middle Ages contributes to the diffusion of models and the development of artistic exchanges. Mixing in joyful syncretism religious and profane themes, images from International Gothic and new vocabulary of the first Renaissance, the choir stalls’ carvings of Brittany show us the clerical vision of a world, where moralistic meanings, Christian hermeneutic, satirical views of the society and carnival culture are merged together without contradiction
Tracking of gross motor coordination in Portuguese children

The purpose of this study was to investigate the tracking of gross motor coordination (GMC) and to profile children at 6 years of age who consistently showed higher stability patterns in different levels of GMC. The participants were 245 children (123 boys and 122 girls) who were assessed longitudinally from 6 to 9 years of age. GMC was assessed using the Korperkoordinationtest fur Kinder (KTK) test battery. Anthropometry, physical activity, and health- and performance-related physical fitness were also measured. Cohen's kappa (κ) was used to estimate tracking. Tracking was poor for all GMC tests (0.17 ≤ κ ≤ 0.38) and moderate for the GMC motor quotient (MQ) in both boys and girls (0.44 ≤ κ ≤ 0.45). Instability at the extremes was low in GMC tests and negligible for MQ. Children who consistently showed high GMC levels during the 4 years of follow-up were lighter, had lower body mass index and subcutaneous fat, and showed higher scores in physical fitness tests at 6 years of age than those who consistently had low GMC levels. In conclusion, GMC showed low-to-moderate tracking over time in childhood. However, children who consistently demonstrated high GMC levels over time had healthier profiles at 6 years of age.
A new approach to modeling isotropic damage for Mullins effect in hyperelastic materials

• A novel formulation and computational procedure for damage in hyperelastic materials. • Damaged curve corresponds to hyperelastic behavior, virgin to damage evolution. • No explicit material parameters are employed neither for hyperelasticity nor damage. • Both initial and unloading–reloading response are exactly captured. • Algorithmic details and the consistent tangent are given. In this work we present a new approach to damage mechanics in hyperelastic materials and an efficient numerical procedure for modeling the Mullins effect in isochoric, isotropic materials. The formulation is based on the idea that both the virgin loading and the damaged unloading–reloading behavior may be measured, but only the unloading–reloading curve corresponds to hyperelastic behavior. The damaged unloading–reloading curve is the true hyperelastic behavior and may be described by any suitable hyperelastic constitutive model. We employ a spline-based formulation which is known to exactly capture the behavior. The virgin loading curve, which does not correspond to hyperelastic behavior and involves damage evolution is only employed to compute the energy release rate. The procedure does not employ any material parameter (and hence no parameter-fitting procedure) or any explicit damage evolution function. We highlight similarities and differences of the present model with usual damage mechanics models and with pseudo-elasticity. As a result of the detailed computational procedure which simply involves the solution of a nonlinear scalar function, the virgin loading curve and the damaged unloading–reloading curves are exactly captured. The computational algorithm for three-dimensional implicit finite element analysis is also addressed in detail. Examples show that there is no significant increase in computational effort respect to a pure hyperelastic model.
On the inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schrödinger equation: Local, global and stability results

Abstract We consider the inhomogeneous biharmonic nonlinear Schrodinger equation (IBNLS) i u t + Δ 2 u + λ | x | − b | u | α u = 0 , where λ = ± 1 and α , b > 0 . We show local and global well-posedness in H s ( R N ) in the H s -subcritical case, with s = 0 , 2 . Moreover, we prove a stability result in H 2 ( R N ) , in the mass-supercritical and energy-subcritical case. The fundamental tools to prove these results are the standard Strichartz estimates related to the linear problem.
A comparison of 0 + 5 versus 5 + 2 applicants to vascular surgery training programs

The new integrated 0 + 5 vascular surgery (VS) training paradigm introduced in 2007 required program directors and faculty to reconsider recruiting methods and exposure of medical students to VS. As a means to identify variables important for recruitment of 0 + 5 VS applicants, we sought to analyze national 0 + 5 VS residency application trends and to compare medical school demographics of applicants to both our 0 + 5 residency and 5 + 2 fellowship programs.Electronic Residency Application Service and National Resident Matching Program online public databases were queried to evaluate nationwide trends in the number of applicants to integrated VS residency programs between 2007 and 2010. Demographic data from Electronic Residency Application Service applications submitted to our institution's 0 + 5 and 5 + 2 VS training programs during the same time period were reviewed.From 2008 to 2011, there were 190 applicants to our 0 + 5 VS residency program and 161 applicants to our 5 + 2 fellowship program, with 127 (66.8%) and 122 (75.8%) being United States medical graduates, respectively. Annual application volume to our programs over these years remained stable for both training pathways (range, 39-49 for 0 + 5 integrated; range, 39-43 for 5 + 2 traditional). Nationally, applications to 0 + 5 programs increased sixfold over the same time period (52 in 2007 to 340 applicants in 2010; P < .001), far exceeding the available training positions. Compared with applicants to the 5 + 2 VS fellowships, medical students applying to the 0 + 5 programs are more likely to be female, be slightly older, have additional postgraduate degrees and publications, have higher United States Medical Licensure Examination test scores, and are more likely to be in the top quartile of their medical school class.Nationwide interest in the 0 + 5 vascular surgery residency training paradigm continues to significantly increase. Significant differences exist between the cohorts of 0 + 5 residency and 5 + 2 fellowship program applicants at the completion of medical school, suggesting that 0 + 5 VS residency programs are attracting a different medical student population to the VS specialty. VS program directors should continue to foster interest in this new applicant pool through early exposure, mentorship, and extracurricular research activities.
A DATA PROCESSING DEVICE

The device (10) comprises a large number of transputers T1? to T16? (only T1? and T16? are shown), Tmem?, Tx?, Ty?, Tz?, Tt?. These are divided into a set of working transputers T1? to T16?, and a set of interface transputers Tx?, Ty?, Tz?, Tt? providing input/output facilities for the device, both sets being under the control of a transputer Tmem?. The transputer Tmem? receives instructions for the device and breaks them down into programs for parallel processing by the transputers T1? to T16?. These transputers will normally need to communicate, and the necessary connections are provided by a switch network (12), under the control of the transputer Tmem?. The programs are so allocated to the transputers T1? to T16? and the switch network (12) is so arranged that direct connections are provided between any transputers which must communicate for the execution of their respective programs. Other connection arrangements are described, including a universal circuit capable of connecting the transputers T1? to T16? to form any theoretically possible network.
