METHOD OF APPLYING A HEAT REFLECTIVE COATING TO A SUBSTRATE SHEET

The method of applying a heat reflective coating (28) to a substrate sheet of construction material is directed to the coating of insulation material, such as fiberglass batts (10), at the time of manufacture. However, it may be applied to virtually any flat, planar sheet of material to provide insulating qualities as well as structural value to the material. Economies of scale are achieved by coating the materials at the time of manufacture, or at least at some centralized location. By completely encapsulating fibrous insulation (12) with an impervious coating (28), the emission of irritant fiber particles from the insulation (12) and corresponding health hazards are eliminated. Also, the efficiency of the insulation (12) is improved by sealing out moisture when the insulation (12) is completely encapsulated by the coating (28).
Experimental study of an air-source heat pump for simultaneous heating and cooling – Part 1: Basic concepts and performance verification

This article presents the concepts of an air-source heat pump for simultaneous heating and cooling (HPS) designed for hotels and smaller residential, commercial and office buildings in which simultaneous needs in heating and cooling are frequent. The main advantage of the HPS is to carry out simultaneously space heating and space cooling with the same energy input. Ambient air is used as a balancing source to run a heating or a cooling mode. The second advantage is that, during winter, energy recovered by the subcooling of the refrigerant is stored at first in a water tank and used subsequently as a cold source at the water evaporator to improve the average performance and to carry out defrosting of the air evaporator using a two-phase thermosiphon. Unlike conventional air-source heat pumps, defrosting is carried out without stopping the heat production. A R407C HPS prototype was built and tested. Its performance on defined operating conditions corresponds to the data given by the selection software of the compressor manufacturer. The operation of the high pressure control system, the transitions between heating, cooling and simultaneous modes and the defrosting sequence were validated experimentally and are presented in the second part of this article [1].
Statistical Study of the Properties of Magnetosheath Lion Roars

Lion roars are narrowband whistler wave emissions that have been observed in several environments, such as planetary magnetosheaths, the Earth's magnetosphere, the solar wind, downstream of interplanetary shocks, and the cusp region. We present measurements of more than 30,000 such emissions observed by the Magnetospheric Multiscale spacecraft with high-cadence (8,192 samples/s) search coil magnetometer data. A semiautomatic algorithm was used to identify the emissions, and an adaptive interval algorithm in conjunction with minimum variance analysis was used to determine their wave vector. The properties of the waves are determined in both the spacecraft and plasma rest frame. The mean wave normal angle, with respect to the background magnetic field (B0), plasma bulk flow velocity (Vb ), and the coplanarity plane (Vb × B0) are 23°, 56°, and 0°, respectively. The average peak frequencies were ~31% of the electron gyrofrequency (ωce ) observed in the spacecraft frame and ~18% of ωce in the plasma rest frame. In the spacecraft frame, ~99% of the emissions had a frequency < ωce , while 98% had a peak frequency < 0.72 ωce in the plasma rest frame. None of the waves had frequencies lower than the lower hybrid frequency, ω. From the probability density function of the electron plasma βe , the ratio between the electron thermal and magnetic pressure, ~99.6% of the waves were observed with βe < 4 with a large narrow peak at 0.07 and two smaller, but wider, peaks at 1.26 and 2.28, while the average value was ~1.25.
Novel inter-hemispheric white matter connectivity in the BTBR mouse model of autism

Alterations in the volume, density, connectivity and functional activation of white matter tracts are reported in some individuals with autism and may contribute to their abnormal behaviors. The BTBR (BTBR T+tf/J) inbred strain of mouse, is used to model facets of autism because they develop low social behaviors, stereotypical and immune changes similar to those found in people with autism. Previously, it was thought a total absence of corpus callosal interhemispheric connective tissues in the BTBR mice may underlie their abnormal behaviors. However, postnatal lesions of the corpus callosum do not precipitate social behavioral problems in other strains of mice suggesting a flaw in this theory. In this study we used digital pathological methods to compare subcortical white matter connective tracts in the BTBR strain of mice with those found in the C57Bl/6 mouse and those reported in a standardized mouse brain atlas. We report, for the first time, a novel connective subcortical interhemispheric bridge of tissue in the posterior, but not anterior, cerebrum of the BTBR mouse. These novel connective tissues are comprised of myelinated fibers, with reduced myelin basic protein levels (MBP) compared to levels in the C57Bl/6 mouse. We used electrophysiological analysis and found increased inter-hemispheric connectivity in the posterior hemispheres of the BTBR strain compared with the anterior hemispheres. The conduction velocity was slower than that reported in normal mice. This study shows there is novel abnormal interhemispheric connectivity in the BTBR strain of mice, which may contribute to their behavioral abnormalities.
European researchers' night: researchers' for a better future

The OurFuture: Researchers For a Better Future proposal consists in a two years proposal with different activities that are deeply related. The first activity consists of twelve main Events on the 26th September 2014 and 25th September 2015, organised by five universities, 3 public foundations, one scientific association, one autonomic government and a scientific installation around Spain as well as a Science Museum. A second activity consists on a Drawing Competition, which will be performed before and after the both events. Also special emphasis will be done on the 2.0 tools, using games and videos edited in the previous edition of European Researchers’ Night (ERN). These tools, together with the Drawing Competition, will be used to disseminate Friday Event Activities. 

The main objective of the project is to enhance the recognition of researchers and their role in society, showing that Researchers are among us. In general, all around the world the economic crisis causes an important decrease of budget for research and Researchers. This fact is particularly hard in Spain, where the decrease is about 40% in the past three year. Important economic cuts do not help to improve the image of Science and Scientist; on the other hand, they make people think that one can do with no Research and Researchers. It is necessary to show the society that With No Researchers there is No Future. For this purpose, Researcher will be participating in Researcher’ Night activities to show the importance of Scientists in the current economic context. On the other hand, the Communicative facet of researchers together with some hands-on experiments will be used to bring them closer to the large public enhancing public recognition of Researchers and their Work, as well as convincing young people to embark on scientific careers. It is important also to settle down between Researchers that non-communicated Research is no Research.
The ATLAS electron, photon, tau, jet and missing transverse energy high level trigger algorithms performance with first LHC collisions

Collisions of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) were collected by ATLAS end of 2009 at a centre of mass energy of 900 GeV and are now being collected at √s = 7 TeV. This paper gives an overview of the performance of the ATLAS high level trigger for the selection of electrons, photons, taus, jets and missing transverse energy. Comparisons of the selection variables based on the calorimeter and tracking information calculated by the different trigger levels and the offline reconstruction are shown. This has been an important step in the commissioning of these triggers to ensure their correct functioning and the results from the first data are very encouraging. Furthermore, examples of comparisons between data and Monte Carlo simulations of some of the selection variables are presented. At the end a brief outlook will be given on the steps to be taken to fully commission these triggers with 7 TeV collision data.

Real-time sketch rendering A system for non photo realistic rendering, mimicking graphite pencil drawings.

This paper presents a real-time technique for rendering 3D surfaces in a pencil drawing
style. It is fundamentally based on a paper which introduces a real-time pencil rendering
system (Lee et al., 2006). The authors uses strokes drawn along the principal curvature
directions to shade the interior of a 3D surface. The main focus of this thesis has been
to implement a sketching system with a good support of arbitrary surfaces which are not
uniformly tessellated and to provide results on par with the paper (Lee et al., 2006). To
handle arbitrary surfaces which are not uniformly tessellated, a new way of computing a
curvature direction eld has been implemented. This paper presents an implementation
which visualize the outline of a surface and manages to sketch the geometry of complex
surfaces in good quality.
From fermi to planck : a bottom up approach

The Standard Model of particle physics is a hugely successful theory that has been tested in experiments at ever increasing energies, culminating in the recent discovery of the Higgs boson. Nevertheless, some major riddles cannot be addressed by the Standard Model, such as neutrino oscillations, the existence of Dark Matter, the absence of antimatter in the Universe. New fundamental principles, interactions and unknown yet particles are required to address these questions. Much of the research done during the last three decades on physics ‘beyond the Standard Model’ (BSM) has been driven by attempts to find a ‘natural’ solution of the hierarchy problem: why the Planck and the electroweak scales are so different. The most popular approaches to this problem predict new particles with the masses right above the electroweak scale.

This project explores an alternative idea that the absence of new particles with masses between the electroweak and Planck scales, supplemented by extra symmetries (such as scale invariance) may itself explain why the mass of the Higgs boson is much smaller than the Planck mass. This calls for a solution of the BSM problems by extremely feebly interacting particles with masses below the electroweak scale. Along the same lines we also explore the possibility that cosmological inflation does not require a new field, but is driven by the Higgs field of the Standard Model.
The proposed model offers solutions for BSM puzzles and is among a few ones that can be tested with existing experimental technologies and are valid even if no evidence for new physics is found at the LHC.

Constructing such a theory requires consolidated efforts in domains of high-energy theory, particle physics phenomenology, physics of the early Universe, cosmology and astrophysics as well as analyses of the available data from previous experiments and from cosmology. We will make predictions and establish the sensitivity goals for future high intensity experiments.
Stabilized Cyclopropane Analogs of the Splicing Inhibitor FD-895

Targeting the spliceosome with small molecule inhibitors provides a new avenue to target cancer by intercepting alternate splicing pathways. Although our understanding of alternate mRNA splicing remains poorly understood, it provides an escape pathway for many cancers resistant to current therapeutics. These findings have encouraged recent academic and industrial efforts to develop natural product spliceosome inhibitors, including FD-895 (1a), pladienolide B (1b), and pladienolide D (1c), into next-generation anticancer drugs. The present study describes the application of semisynthesis and total synthesis to reveal key structure-activity relationships for the spliceosome inhibition by 1a. This information is applied to deliver new analogs with improved stability and potent activity at inhibiting splicing in patient derived cell lines.
A REFINING MEMBER AND HUB WITH SPLINES WITH A WEAR INDICATOR

A hub and a member, the member having a central opening. The hub is received in the member central opening. The hub has a center, and a hub axis through the center. The hub also has a splined exterior with a plurality of splines, each spline having a spline surface, and the member central opening has internal splines that engage with the hub splined exterior. At least one of the hub splines has a wear indicator, the wear indicator comprising a surface mark that extends along a portion of the spline surface in the same direction as the hub axis.
Technical Note: 3D From Standard Digital Photography of Human Crania-A Preliminary Assessment

This study assessed three-dimensional (3D) photogrammetry as a tool for capturing and quantifying human skull morphology. While virtual reconstruction with 3D surface scanning technology has become an accepted part of the paleoanthropologist's tool kit, recent advances in 3D photogrammetry make it a potential alternative to dedicated surface scanners. The principal advantages of photogrammetry are more rapid raw data collection, simplicity and portability of setup, and reduced equipment costs. We tested the precision and repeatability of 3D photogrammetry by comparing digital models of human crania reconstructed from conventional, 2D digital photographs to those generated using a 3D surface scanner. Overall, the photogrammetry and scanner meshes showed low degrees of deviation from one another. Surface area estimates derived from photogrammetry models tended to be slightly larger. Landmark configurations generally did not cluster together based upon whether the reconstruction was created with photogrammetry or surface scanning technology. Average deviations of landmark coordinates recorded on photogrammetry models were within the generally allowable range of error in osteometry. Thus, while dependent upon the needs of the particular research project, 3D photogrammetry appears to be a suitable, lower-cost alternative to 3D imaging and scanning options.
Empowering citizens to transform european public administrations

High quality public services constitute the backbone of citizens’ social welfare and are also essential to a region’s competitiveness and business entrepreneurship. Delivery of high quality public services is instrumental so that society and its economy can function. Despite this, the future provision of public services faces significant social challenges, as stated in H2020 “Understanding Europe - Promoting The European Public And Cultural Space”. Key challenges include those due to demographic change and others, related to the EU´s continued search for a model of advanced economic and social development compatible with demands for competition in a globalized economy. All of these longer-term challenges mean that public service provision must be reinforced on the basis of more and better innovation, and greater efficiency and productivity.
CITADEL will create an ecosystem of best practices, tools and recommendations to transform Public Administrations (PAs) via an inclusive approach in order to provide stakeholders with more efficient, inclusive and citizen-centric services. The CITADEL ecosystem will allow PAs to use what they already know and new data to implement what really matters to citizens in order to shape and co-create more efficient and inclusive public services. CITADEL innovates by using ICTs to find out why citizens stop using public services, and use this information to readjust provision to bring them back in. Also, it identifies why citizens are not using a given public service (due to affordability, accessibility, lack of knowledge, embarrassment, lack of interest, etc.) and, where appropriate, use this information to make public services more attractive, so they start using the services. CITADEL will be implemented and validated in four use cases in Latvia, Italy, The Netherlands and Belgium.

Lactoferrin moderates LPS-induced hypotensive response and gut injury in rats

Hypotension is a physiologic state of low blood pressure, the causes of which range from dehydration to underlying serious medical disorders. The aim of this study was to assess the utility of lactoferrin (LF), a natural immunomodulator, to restrain LPS-induced hypotension in rats. LF has previously demonstrated a role in mediation of immune responses, including control of inflammatory cytokine production during acute inflammation. Rats were administered with LF by gavage at 1h or 18 h prior to LPS injections. Heart rate (HR) and mean arterial blood pressure (MAP) were continuously recorded post LPS administration for 6 h. Simultaneously to hemodynamic measurements, serum was examined for TNF-α, IL-6, and TGF-β production. At termination, the proximal duodenum was subjected to histopathological analysis. LF administered at 1h prior to LPS protected rats from the LPS-induced hypotension. The protective effect on MAP was also apparent when LF was administered as a pretreatment 18 h prior to LPS challenge, although the effect was lessened. For all groups, LF pretreatment led to a minor, but insignificant, improvement in HR post LPS administration. In addition, when rats were given LF 1 h before LPS, they showed a significant decrease in serum TNF-α and IL-6 production. LF did not affect the production level of serum TGF-β. Of high importance, LF was able to confer histo-pathological protection of intestinal tissue post LPS administration, for both the 1h and 18 h LF pretreatment groups. These studies indicate a potential for clinical utility of LF to control hypotension.

Dermatologic research in the Nordic countries 1989-2008 - a bibliometric study

Bibliometric methods, based on the count of articles published in scientific journals, are increasingly used to evaluate scientific productivity. Bibliometric studies may identify factors that promote or inhibit research performance. We set out to analyze dermatologic research activity in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway using bibliometric methods.We performed repetitive searches on Medline, using the PubMed interface, for the period 1989-2008. Dermatologic articles were defined as all articles in dermatologic journals plus articles in nondermatologic journals in which the address of first author included an institution of dermatology. Articles were allocated to the country of first author's address.The number of dermatologic articles from Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway was 1896 (214 per million inhabitants), 1502 (281), 1017 (196), and 249 (55), respectively. Dermatologic articles represented 1.4%, 2.3%, 1.6%, and 0.6% of each country's total number of Medline articles in English over the same period. Similar patterns were found in relation to gross domestic product, number of dermatologists, and number of medical schools. After 2000, the yearly number of dermatologic articles from Denmark increased and that from Finland decreased, whereas the numbers from Sweden and Norway remained relatively stable.Despite similarities in social and economic conditions in Sweden, Denmark, Finland, and Norway, there are great differences in dermatologic research activity in the four countries, with Denmark performing best and Norway poorest. Historical and cultural factors may partly explain these differences.
DEVICE AND METHOD FOR TESTING THE FUNCTION OF AN ANTENNA SYSTEM FOR FOREIGN METAL DETECTION

The invention relates to a device for testing the function of an antenna system, in particular fr foreign metal detection, comprising an antenna system having a plurality of antennas (A0,..., A31) which are connected to an associated input of a selection unit (SE). The antennas (A0,..., A15) of a first antenna group of the plurality of antennas (A0,..., A31) are connected to the inputs of a first multiplexer (MUXa) of the selection unit (SE). The antennas (A16,..., A31) of a second antenna group of the plurality of antennas (A0,..., A31) are connected to the inputs of a second multiplexer (MUXb) of the selection unit (SE). The antennas (A0,..., A15) of the first antenna group and the antennas (A16,..., A31) of the second antenna group are arranged next to one another and/or overlapping in pairs. A computing unit (CU) is designed to feed in an AC signal into a selected antenna (A0,..., A15) of the first antenna group by providing control signals (CTRL_MUX_I, CTRL_MUX_II, CTRL_MUX_III, CTRL_DIAG) for the selection unit (SE), and to detect the antenna signal present at every antenna (A16,..., A31) of the second antenna group at an output (SEO) of the selection unit (SE) for the selected antenna (A0,..., A15) and store same for a subsequent evaluation. From the comparison of the determined antenna signals for the selected antenna (A0,..., A15) of the first antenna system and associated expected antenna signals, an error in the selected antenna/antenna system can be inferred.
DEVICE FOR ATTACHING INTERCHANGEABLE ITEMS OF EQUIPMENT RAPIDLY, FOR AN EXCAVATOR

The invention relates to a device for rapidly attaching interchangeable items of equipment to the boom of an excavator. The device has a latch mechanism (4) which in the locked position engages in a suitably shaped recess in the item of equipment being attached. A hydraulic cylinder (16) for operating the latch mechanism (4) is provided in the changing device (1), the piston rod of said cylinder being coupled to said latch mechanism (4). A safety bolt (15) is provided to prevent the latch mechanism from being moved back unintentionally. Said safety bolt rests against the rear side (14) of the latch mechanism (4) when in its operating position and prevents said latch mechanism from being pushed back into the rapid attachment device (1). A hydraulic cylinder (16) is provided for operating the safety bolt (15), the piston rod of said hydraulic cylinder (16) preferably forms the safety bolt (15) directly. The piston in the hydraulic cylinder (16) is spring-loaded, so that the safety bolt (15) is pushed into its operating position when there is no pressure in the cylinder (16). This ensures that the safety bolt (15) is always pushed into its operating position when there is a pressure drop in the hydraulic system.
