Planning and monitoring of the Transnational Park Gran Monte - Natisone

The project envisages the formulation of a plan for the Transnational Park to be later established and managed. The identification of the area requires the transposition and the inclusion of the existing urban instruments, such as the Areas of Considerable Environmental Interest and the existing municipal and intermunicipal parks. The Park area will therefore include the Municipal Park of Gran Monte - Rio Bianco in the Municipality of Taipana; the intermunicipal Park of the Lerada stream in the Municipalities of Attimis, Faedis and Taipana; the Area of considerable environmental interest of Forra del Pradolino and Monte Mia in the Municipality of Pulfero; the Area of considerable environmental interest of Forra del Cornappo in the Municipality of Nimis and the site of Monte Matajur in the Municipality of Savogna and Pulfero. After defining the borders of the area, the most suitable management method of the park will be chosen, followed by the creation of an open databank and, by means of aircraft flights, common mapping tools will be prepared and an environmental monitoring will be performed. The project aims at the gradual set up of a Transnational Park for the protection and the enhancement of existing naturalistic, landscape, rural and historical aspects. The integration and synergy between the enhancement of the natural and rural environment and the reasonable and sustainable development of tourism seems to be the best therapy to put an end to the isolation of this border area which, more than other adjacent areas, has suffered because of the well known phenomena of depopulation, land abandonment and productive depletion.
Global encounters between china and europe: trade networks, consumption and cultural exchanges in macau and marseille (1680-1840)

In the last decade the approaches of the global history have been emphasized in order to visualize the progress, form and method which historians have undertaken when carrying out ambitious research projects to analyse and compare diverse geographical and cultural areas of Asia and Europe. But when dealing with comparisons and cross-cultural studies in Europe and Asia, some scholarly works have exceeded of ambiguities when defining geographical units as well as chronology. In this project I examine perceptions and dialogues between China and Europe by analysing strategic geopolitical sites which fostered commerce, consumption and socioeconomic networks between China and Europe through a particular case study: Macau, connecting with South China, and Marseille in Mediterranean Europe.  
     How did foreign merchant networks and trans-national communities of Macau and Marseille operate during the eighteenth century and contribute to somehow transfer respectively European and Chinese socio-cultural habits and forms in local population? What was the degree and channels of consumption of European goods in China and Chinese goods in Europe? These are the main questions to answer during my research to explore the bilateral Sino-European trade relations and how the trans-national dimension of exotic commodities changed tastes by creating a new type of global consumerism.
     Such concrete comparison can help to narrow the gap that some researchers have created when widely analysing differences between Asia and Europe without a specific geographical and chronological delineation. The major novelty of this project is based on the use of Chinese and European sources to study changes in consumer behaviour. The principal investigator of the project works in China which is and added value for the achievement of outstanding results. So the expected results will bring an obvious breakthrough by adding the specific part of the project in which each team member will work.
Detection of associations with rare and common SNPs for quantitative traits: a nonparametric Bayes-based approach

We propose a nonparametric Bayes-based clustering algorithm to detect associations with rare and common single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) for quantitative traits. Unlike current methods, our approach identifies associations with rare genetic variants at the variant level, not the gene level. In this method, we use a Dirichlet process prior for the distribution of SNP-specific regression coefficients, conduct hierarchical clustering with a distance measure derived from posterior pairwise probabilities of two SNPs having the same regression coefficient, and explore data-driven approaches to select the number of clusters. SNPs falling inside the largest cluster have relatively low or close to zero estimates of regression coefficients and are considered not associated with the trait. SNPs falling outside the largest cluster have relatively high estimates of regression coefficients and are considered potential risk variants. Using the data from the Genetic Analysis Workshop 17, we successfully detected associations with both rare and common SNPs for a quantitative trait. We conclude that our method provides a novel and broadly applicable strategy for obtaining association results with a reasonably low proportion of false discovery and that it can be routinely used in resequencing studies.
Influência da palha de cana-de-açúcar e precipitação nos processos de sorção-dessorção e lixiviação de indaziflam

Diversos fatores podem contribuir com a mobilidade e comportamento dos herbicidas no solo, dentre eles destacam-se a pluviosidade, as características físico-químicas do ingrediente ativo e do solo, assim como a presença de palha no sistema de cultivo.O indaziflam é um ingrediente ativo registrado e comercializado no Brasil, para diversas culturas com a aplicação na pré-emergência das plantas daninhas.O objetivo deste estudo foi avaliar sorção e dessorção do indaziflam no solo e em palha de cana-deaçúcar, bem como a sua lixiviação em diferentes pluviosidades e quantidades de palha no solo.A sorção e dessorção foram avaliadas através do método de equilíbrio em lotes, tanto para o solo quanto para a palha, com o produto aplicado em diferentes doses (10, 25, 50, 75 e 100 g ha -1 ).A lixiviação foi avaliada em colunas de vidro, avaliando a influência de 3 quantidades de palha (0, 5 e 10 t ha -1 ) e 2 precipitações (40 e 80 mm em 24 horas).A distribuição do indaziflam foi mensurada no perfil do solo (0 -30 cm) e no lixiviado.A sorção do indaziflam foi elevada, tanto no solo (Kd =14,76 a 18,16 L kg -1 ) quanto na palha (Kd = 100,00 a 113,62 L kg -1 ), com valores maiores que 71% de sorção para ambos fatores.A porcentagem de dessorção variou de 11,45 a 15,01% no solo e 8,57 a 9,12% na palha.O processo de sorção-dessorção mostrouse reversível no solo e na palha, favorecendo a biodisponibilidade do herbicida na solução do solo.Os dados da lixiviação indicaram que o indaziflam permaneceu na camada superficial do solo em ambas as precipitações estudadas, não sendo detectado em profundidades superiores a 5 cm.Valores de 3,25 -8,30% do herbicida aplicado ficou retido na palha e 91,03 -99,78% ficou retido na camada 0-5 cm no perfil do solo.A presença da palha em combinação com o volume de chuva aplicado pode afetar a deposição do herbicida da superfície do solo.O indaziflam conseguiu ultrapassar a camada de palha e ficou retido na camada superficial, indicando a manutenção da eficácia no controle do banco de sementes do solo ao mesmo tempo que não lixiviou para maiores profundidades, indicando um baixo potencial de contaminação de lençóis freáticos.
The evolution of terrestrial planets: insights from models of planetary evolution with coupled internal, atmospheric/surface development

It is critical to integrate knowledge from multiple disciplines in order to gain a better understanding of the Earth and other terrestrial planets evolution, as well as the effects of this evolution on the expression of surface tectonics. While plate tectonics is currently observed on Earth, both its onset and length of activity are uncertain. Here we will use models of planetary evolution to begin to understand the implications for coupled internal/surface processes through changing lid states over planetary timescales (e.g. C, H2O, and O2, cycles, generation of atmosphere, dynamo generation, and coupled lithosphere-asthenosphere evolution). Further, the internal chemical composition, heterogeneities, and initial conditions within the mantle may be critical factors in setting the evolutionary path of a planet, as such we will determine what role these heterogeneities may play in the evolution of the planet. Finally we seek to understand the controls on the dynamics of a transitional episodic-lid, a state suggested for the early Earth, such as its onset, duration, recurrence interval, and location of overturns, and use these results to assess the implications for planetary development (e.g. dynamo heat flow, generation of atmosphere). This work will begin to address the following open questions: (A) What role does the coupling of internal and surface processes have through changing lid-states? (B) What role do heterogeneities (in viscosity, radiogenics and composition) play in the evolution of the planet? (C) What controls the dynamics of the enigmatic transitional episodic-lid?

Recovery and upgrading of stone processing waste for ecological sustainability

Stone extraction and cutting have various impacts on the environment with implications for the surrounding ecosystem. The objective of CLEANSTONE is to improve environmental protection and resource efficiency in the stone industry by developing an innovative technology that minimises and reutilises waste from stone processing and by promoting the adoption of optimised manufacturing practises. This will be done by acting on several levels (technological, behavioural, normative) to make the stone manufacturing sector more competitive and environmentally sustainable. The main project outputs will be :1) A set of guidelines defining criteria for assessing the environmental impact of stone processing and innovative protocols enabling optimized recovery of usable secondary raw materials from slurries and broken slabs of different stone types; 2) A white paper with proposals for amending the stone manufacturing waste legislation in Austria and Italy, which currently does not allow exploiting
the full potential of waste reuse. The project is original since it is the first attempt to integrate different recovery techniques in a single framework specifically designed for the companies in the stone sector (mostly SMEs). Local, regional and national authorities will also benefit from an increased awareness of the advantages produced, in terms of circular economy dynamics and environmental protection, by the implementation of the proposed practices.
Complex stationary-phase points in dynamical-tunneling emissions

In a recent paper [Phys. Rev. A 83, 023827 (2011)] it has been suggested, based on numerical simulation, that tunneling emission in dielectric microcavities can be explained through a two-step process: first dynamical tunneling to reach the critical line and then interference among tangential wave components refractively escaped from the critical line. Here we investigate again the tunneling-emission mechanism by using a stationary-phase method in a circular microcavity. It is shown that the stationary-phase point becomes complex for a tunneling emission and gives a tunneling-ray picture. The imaginary part of the point determines the distance {delta} between the tunneling ray and the cavity surface. In addition, we demonstrate numerically that the two-step tunneling process with a proper window function works very well, even in deformed microcavities.
Le théâtre Guyanais contemporain: entretien avec Odile Pedro Leal

Comédienne, formée au Conservatoire National Supérieur de Bordeaux, metteure en scène, auteure dramatique et directrice artistique du Grand Théâtre Itinérant de Guyane (Grand T.I.G), qui succède depuis 2017 au Guyane Art Théâtre, aussi Chargée de mission culturelle dans le Conseil Régional de Guyane entre 2010 et 2012, nous pouvons dire que Odile Pedro Leal est une femme multiple, comme la Guyane, comme le théâtre guyanais. Dans sa thèse de doctorat, Mme Pedro Leal développe le concept du théâtre caché-montré, un théâtre présent au quotidien guyanais, surtout concentré autour du Carnaval: «Le carnaval est un théâtre caché, parce qu’il se passe du tréteau ou de la scène, comme du professionnalisme de l’acteur, pour sa réalisation; et il est un théâtre montré, parce que visiblement on y joue.» (PEDRO LEAL, 2000, p. 37).
Bulk and Liquid–Vapor Interface of Pyrrolidinium-Based Ionic Liquids: A Molecular Simulation Study

Using molecular dynamics simulations, we have studied the structure of three 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium ionic liquids whose anions are triflate, bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl)imide, and tris(pentafluoroethyl)trifluorophosphate. The structure of the bulk phase of the three ionic liquids has been interpreted using radial and spatial distribution functions and structure factors that allows us to characterize the morphology of the polar and nonpolar domains present in this family of liquids. The size of the polar regions depends on the anion size, whereas the morphology of the nonpolar domains is anion-independent. Furthermore, the surface ordering properties of the ionic liquids and charge and density profiles were also studied using molecular simulations. The surface tension of the liquid-vapor interfaces of these ionic liquids was also predicted from our molecular simulations. In addition, microscopic structural analysis of orientational ordering at the interface and density profiles along the direction normal to the interface suggest that the alkyl chains of the cation tend to protrude toward the vacuum, and the presence of the interface leads to a strong organization of the liquid phase in the region close to the interface. In the interfacial area, the polar regions of the ionic liquids are more structured than those in the bulk phase, whereas the opposite behavior is observed for the nonpolar regions.

Understanding the role of microbiome interactions in the freezing stress tolerance of plants

Current methods used by growers to prevent or reduce freezing damage include mainly physical approaches, which have
several limitations in terms of cost, efficacy and environmental impact. The use of natural plant beneficial bacteria is a
promising approach against freezing damage. With the aim of developing new microbial-based products for freezing
protection of apple, the goal of this project is to taxonomically and functionally characterise the bacterial communities
associated with the anthosphere of a wild cold-adapted rosaceous plant (Dryas octopetala) and to assess their freezing
protection abilities on apple. To achieve these goals, we will use the combination of high-throughput sequencing and rapid throughput screening of bacterial isolates with interdisciplinary approaches of molecular biology, bioinformatics, microbiology and plant physiology. In particular, bacterial taxa associated with D. octopetala flowers under freezing stress tolerance will be identified and targeted isolation methods will be used to recover psychrophilic bacteria. Screening of bacterial isolates will be carried out to examine their ice-active traits (ice recrystallization inhibition and ice shaping) and environmental stress tolerance (drought, starving and UV). Efficacy tests of the isolates for their freezing protection abilities on apple will be performed, followed by feasibility checking of industrial production of the best candidates. The scientific outcomes of this project will contribute in the development of a microbial product for freezing protection of fruit crops that will be further developed for the EU market, which agrees with the promotion of sustainable biological methods. FreezingBioprotector will be fundamental to my professional career development by broadening my expertise in microbial ecology and crop protection, as well as transferable skills on teamwork, leadership, analytical thinking and project management that will be essential for my future research career.
&gt;b&lt;Relação temporal de parâmetros fisiológicos, comportamentais e ecológicos na raposa-do-campo (&gt;i&lt;Lycalopex vetulus&gt;/i&lt;)&gt;/b&lt;

Since their emergence, organisms have lived with rhythmic processes in the environment such as the day and night cycle, seasons of the year, and moon phases.In this essentially variable environment, animals evolve by restricting many of their behavioral activities to specific temporal niches, maximizing fitness and survival.This adjustment takes place through biological clocks, which integrate endogenous timing with environmental information.Although these temporal processes are decisive in the relationship between animals and their environment, the interface between chronobiology and ecology is still a little-explored frontier in science.It is in this territory that we worked on this thesis.We monitored ten hoary foxes (Lycalopex vetulus) in the Cerrado of Central Brazil.It is the only carnivore species endemic to the Cerrado and one of the seven least studied canids in the world.We studied the species' behavior at different scales, combining detailed field observation data with spatial monitoring by GPS transmitters.We proposed analytical methods that could elucidate how different ecological parameters vary over time.Our results showed that the hoary fox is nocturnal and concentrates specific behaviors at certain times within this period of activity.We also showed that this daily behavior routine changes throughout the year, depending on the reproductive stage.We also proved the existence of important rhythmic processes concerning the hoary fox's space use and social interactions.Throughout the year, there were significant variations in the size of the used area, shelter displacement, fidelity to specific regions, and couple home range overlap.These variations were consistent, cyclic, and related to the reproductive cycle of the species.Our results brought insights into the importance of rhythmic processes for behavioral ecology studies, and the methodological advances proposed here will serve as a basis for future studies to continue exploring this frontier of knowledge.
Design of nanomaterials for targeted therapies guided by super resolution imaging

Nanomaterials revolutionized the field of targeted cancer therapies introducing innovative approaches towards the molecular recognition of diseased cells. However, despite the large investments in nanotechnology-based drug delivery the translation into clinical applications is still unsatisfactory and up to date there are no actively-targeted materials approved for clinical use. One of the main reasons is the lack of knowledge about the behaviour of nanostructures in the biological environment that makes the rational design of effective drug delivery carriers extremely challenging. 

NANOSTORM proposes the use of an innovative optical imaging technique such as super resolution microscopy to visualize and understand the molecular interactions of nanomaterials with their cellular targets in unprecedented detail. We recently reported for the first time the ability of Stochastic Optical Reconstruction Microscopy (STORM) to image self-assembled synthetic materials in vitro with nanometric resolution. NANOSTORM aims to bring this to the next level, using STORM to unveil the structure-activity relations of therapeutic nanomaterials in the biological environment at the single molecule level. The knowledge arising from this investigation will provide novel design principles for the next generation of nanomaterials for targeted therapies. In particular, in the framework of NANOSTORM novel nanomaterials for the targeted treatment of prostate cancer will be synthesized and evaluated. 
This interdisciplinary research program will advance our understanding of nanostructures for targeted drug delivery and guide the formulation of novel materials for cancer therapy.
Effects of capacitor termination to an antenna coil on the plasma parameters in a radio frequency inductively coupled plasma

The effects of capacitor termination to a solenoidal antenna coil on the plasma parameters, such as the plasma density, the electron temperature, the electron energy distribution function and the plasma potential, are studied in an Ar or O2/N2 gas mixture inductively coupled plasma (ICP). As the capacitance is varied from tens to hundreds of pF, the plasma parameters change significantly. When the reactance of the capacitor is half that of the antenna, there is a resonance condition where the electrostatic coupling between the antenna coil and the chamber wall is effectively suppressed. The plasma density is maximal, while the electron temperature and the plasma potential are minimal under this resonance condition. This result shows that the ICP generated by the antenna coil with capacitor termination can be applied to a plasma process that requires high plasma density and low ion damage. The ashing process of a photoresistor by the ICP source with capacitor termination is also performed in this study and it is found that the ashing rate is enhanced under the resonance condition compared with the non-resonance condition.
