High capacity space division multiplexing systems

Our information society relies to an unprecedented extent on broadband communication solutions such as high-speed Internet access, mobile voice and data services, multimedia broadcast systems, etc. In order to fulfil the steadily growing volume and bandwidth demand of those data services while simultaneously reducing the cost per transported information bit, communication systems have been continuously improved in terms of reach and aggregate transport capacity. However, it is now recognised that communication systems are rapidly approaching the fundamental information capacity of current technology, a trend with potential negative impact on the economy and social progress. 

HSPACE project targets the development of advanced space division multiplexing (SDM) systems to unlock the capacity of future information systems by enabling the transmission of spatial super-channels over a single fibre. The proposed concept will be implemented using multi-core fibres (MCF) and few-mode fibres (FMFs) as underlying technology platform along with novel digital signal processing (DSP) techniques that minimise the mode/core interference and inter mode/core nonlinearities, keeping the required digital processing at realizable levels. HSPACE offers a continued European leadership in RTD photonics from components to systems, securing the necessary human resources and knowledge to design and produce a new generation of photonic components that support EU’s vision for ubiquitous broadband connectivity to promote European social and economic cohesion and prosperity.

The aforementioned challenges require researchers highly trained in a number of relevant disciplines ranging from nonlinear science to high-speed optical communication techniques. This fellowship will provide a gifted early career researcher with the opportunity to train at one of the foremost research centres in optical communication, the Aston Institute of Photonics Technology (AITP).
Game-Based Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (GB-CBT) Group Program for Children Who Have Experienced Sexual Abuse: A Preliminary Investigation

This preliminary investigation examined the efficacy of a game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy group program for elementary school-aged children who have experienced sexual abuse. Treatment aimed to improve: (a) internalizing symptoms, (b) externalizing behaviors, (c) sexually inappropriate behaviors, (d) social skills deficits, (e) self-esteem problems, and (f) knowledge of healthy sexuality and self-protection skills. Results indicate that game-based cognitive-behavioral therapy was effective for improving internalizing and externalizing symptoms, reducing sexually inappropriate behaviors, and improving children's knowledge of abuse and self-protection skills. Although results pointed in a positive direction for social skills and self-perception, these findings were not statistically significant. Clinical significance was also evaluated to assess the clinical utility of treatment effects. Treatment implications of the findings and future research directions are discussed.
Cold books in hot lands: winning and losing of hearts and minds in the middle east

COLDBIHOT is an interdisciplinary and historical research project that explores the connection between Stalin’s death, the US-backed coup in Iran, and the opening of a US-sponsored publishing house (Franklin Publications) in Cairo in 1953. After Stalin died the American “battle of ideas” with the spread of communism entered a new phase. Key to this “cultural Cold War” was the use of various channels to spread (pro-US) liberal ideas around the world. Franklin was founded to support the translation of American books into the languages of developing countries. Franklin’s record was extensive: it operated for 27 years in 12 countries, publishing 3000 books. However, deep suspicions of US intentions in the Middle East and support for Israel, as well as the rise of Arab nationalism and of nativism and Islamicism in Iran, have complicated assessments of Franklin’s role in cultural life. Existing scholarship sees Franklin as propaganda, a mistake, or a form of cultural imperialism, borrowing from Cold War terminology to write it off as a lost battle for hearts and minds. COLDBIHOT looks beyond such a zero-sum game by investigating it as a US cultural diplomacy initiative to better understand what winning and losing hearts and minds means in practice. Two main questions are posed: 1) how and why did books come to play such a role in US cultural diplomacy, 2) how and why did Franklin fail to win the hearts and minds? These questions are important because the legacies of America’s cultural influence in the region remain contentious, and the contest between different forms of modernity and traditionalism continues throughout daily social life. By exploring Franklin’s dynamics, impact, and legacy in Egypt and Iran, this critical history of Franklin uses primary and secondary sources and employs documentary research, case studies, and semi-structured interviews to collect and analyse the data. Among others, this innovative project contributes to the global Cold War studies.
Solutions to arithmetic differential equations in algebraically closed fields

Arithmetic differential equations or δ -geometry exploits analogies between derivations and p -derivations δ arising from lifts of Frobenius to study problems in arithmetic geometry. Along the way, two main classes such functions, describable as series, arose prominently namely δ -characters of abelian schemes and (isogeny covariant) δ -modular forms. However, the theory of these δ -functions is not as straightforward in ramified settings. Overconvergence was introduced in [13] to account for these issues which essentially imposes growth conditions extensions of these series to a fixed level of ramification; necessary as such extensions have non-trivial fractional coefficients. In this article, we introduce a rescaling process which identifies a class of δ -functions we call totally overconvergent, which extend all the way to the algebraic closure of ring of integers of the maximally unramified extension of Q p . Applications built on these functions allow one to remove boundedness assumptions on ramification. The bulk of the article is devoted to establishing that most δ -functions arising in practice, namely those in the applications described in [5] , [7] , [8] , are totally overconvergent, which essentially extends results in [13] to unbounded ramification.
hGuard: A Framework to Measure Hypervisor Critical Files

Virtualization has been widely adopted in current computer systems. A key part of virtualization is a hyper visor, which virtualizes physical resources to be shared among multiple guest virtual machines (VMs). Configuration files and security policy files used by the hyper visor control VMs' behavior. If these critical files are tampered with, all the VMs that run on the same hyper visor will be affected. This paper presents hGuard, a framework to measure hyper visor critical files. Each time a critical file is updated, its hash is stored into a non-volatile storage of the trusted chip. When a critical file is loaded into memory, a measurement module computes its hash and a validation module checks its integrity by comparing this hash with that stored in the non-volatile storage. Only if they are the same could the files be used and continuous operation will be allowed. The experiment shows that hGuard can detect illegal modification of hyper visor critical files.
ADJUSTABLE WIDTH BARRIER

A gate has an expandable barrier and a horizontal rail located at a top of the barrier. A post may be coupled to the barrier and may have a portion extending above the horizontal rail. A lock is movably coupled to the post above the rail to provide for the locking and unlocking of the gate.
Propensity to Imitate in Autism Is Not Modulated by the Model's Gaze Direction: An Eye-Tracking Study

Individuals with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) show a diminished propensity to imitate others' actions, as well as a diminished sensitivity and responsivity to others' communicative cues, such as a direct gaze. However, it is not known whether failure to appreciate the communicative value of a direct gaze is associated with imitation abnormalities in this population. In this eye-tracking study, we investigated how 25 preschoolers with ASD, compared with 25 developmental and chronological age-matched children, imitate actions that are associated with a model's direct gaze versus averted gaze. We found that the model's direct gaze immediately prior to the demonstration increased the attention to the model and the propensity to imitate the demonstrated action in children without ASD. In contrast, preschoolers with ASD showed a similar propensity to look at the model's face and to imitate the demonstrated actions across the direct gaze and the averted gaze conditions. These data indicate that atypical imitation in ASD might be linked to abnormal processing of the model's communicative signals (such as a direct gaze) that modulate imitative behaviours in individuals without ASD.

A multimode/multiband envelope tracking transmitter with broadband saturated amplifier

A multimode/multiband envelope tracking (ET) transmitter consisting of a hybrid switching amplifier (HSA) and a broadband saturated power amplifier (PA) is developed across 1.3 to 2.7 GHz. For the various standard signals with different bandwidth and peak-to-average power ratio, the HAS efficiently provides a supply signal to the PA by changing the reference value of the hysteresis comparator. The saturated amplifier employs the nonlinear output capacitor to shape the voltage waveform, resulting in the half-sinusoidal or rectangular waveform. Since the nonlinear capacitor generates harmonic component, the voltage shaping is mainly carried out by the capacitor and slightly supported by the harmonic loading circuit. Thus, with the harmonic load higher than the output capacitor, the saturated amplifier can operate with high efficiency. This characteristic enables the saturated PA to operate with broadband characteristic and high efficiency because the design is mainly focused on the fundamental matching problem. The broadband saturated PA is implemented based on load/source-pull methodology. Broadband matching networks for the high efficiency are synthesized by simplified real frequency technique. For the bandwidth from 1.3 to 2.7 GHz (70% fractional bandwidth), the measured output power, drain efficiency, and power-added efficiency (PAE) performances are between 39.8–42.0 dBm, 55.8–69.7%, and 51.2–65.3%, respectively. The ET transmitter is demonstrated at 1.8425-GHz long-term evolution (LTE), 2.14-GHz wideband code division multiple access (WCDMA), and 2.6-GHz mobile worldwide interoperability for microwave access (m-WiMAX) applications. It delivers the PAE of 32.16, 37.24, and 28.75% for LTE, WCDMA, and m-WiMAX applications, which are improved by 3.1, 4.2, and 1.7%, respectively.
METHOD AND DEVICE FOR DIAGNOSING THE OPERATING STATE OF A PARTICULATE FILTER

The invention relates to a device for diagnosing the operating state of a particulate filter (10) mounted in an exhaust line (9) of an internal combustion engine (1), comprising: - means (14) for determining the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the particulate filter; - means (16) for determining the loading state of the particulate filter; and - a central unit (11) provided with means (18) for evaluating a diagnostic parameter on the basis of the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the particulate filter (10) and storage means (19) for storing a set of values representative of the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of a particulate filter in normal operation as a function of the filter loading state and the volumetric flow rate of exhaust gas, in order to calculate the diagnostic parameter from the pressure difference between the inlet and the outlet of the particulate filter (10) and a corresponding pressure difference value taken from the storage means.
ELECTROMECHANICAL ENERGY STORE, IN PARTICULAR FOR INTEGRATED CIRCUITS

The invention relates to an energy store for an electric circuit, in particular for an integrated circuit, comprising a piezoelectric element (2) consisting of a piezoelectric material between two electrodes. The energy store further comprises a mechanical storage element (1) which is designed and arranged such that, when an electric voltage is applied to the piezoelectric element (2), the mechanical storage element (1) is elastically deformed. Such an energy store has a higher energy density than a purely capacitive energy store and is therefore easier to integrate into integrated circuits.
Frequency-domain computation of inflow broadband noise due to interaction of a rectilinear cascade of flat plates with incident turbulence

This paper deals with the broadband noise due to the interaction between convected turbulent gusts and a rectilinear cascade of flat plates bounded by two parallel walls. An analytic formulation for the acoustic power spectrum due to this turbulence-cascade interaction is derived, which can be used to assess the effects of the span-wise wavenumber components of ingesting turbulent gust on the overall acoustic power spectrum. This three-dimensional theory is based on the two-dimensional theory of Cheong et al. (2006, 2009). The three-dimensional model is shown to provide a close fit to the measured spectrum of rotor-stator interaction. The predictions using this three-dimensional model are also compared with those using the previous two-dimensional model by Cheong et al. (2006; 2009). Through this comparison, it is found that the contributions to the acoustic power of the span-wise wavenumber components of incident turbulent gust are increased as the frequency is augmented, which is mainly due to three-dimensional dispersion-relation characteristics of acoustic waves. This implies that the number of incident turbulent gust modes directly involved in generating cut-on acoustic waves increases as the frequency increases. Therefore, in the lower frequency range, three-dimensional acoustic power is less than its corresponding two-dimensional one, whereas, as the frequency increases, the three-dimensional acoustic power spectrum closely follows those of two-dimension. The formulation is also used to make a parametric study about the effects on the power spectrum of the blade number, stagger angle, gap-chord ratio, and Mach number.

Ancient philosophy and the emergence of european thought: phenomenology in conversation with classical studies

Phenomenological thinkers (most notably E. Husserl, M. Heidegger, J. Patočka, and J. Derrida) outlined influential
philosophical perspectives on the ancient roots of European thought. The action’s aim is to provide a critical reassessment of
those perspectives by developing an extensive comparative analysis between them and research done by prominent
classicists, in particular W. Jaeger, B. Snell, J.-P. Vernant, G.E.R. Lloyd, and M. West. This comparative approach will take the following questions as reference framework: (1) How did ancient thought shape European identity? (2) How did the Greek roots of European thought interact with other sources of European culture? (3) Is there a connection between the much-debated crisis of Europe and the ancient roots of European culture? (4) Does the retrieval of the ancient roots of European culture play a role for the future of Europe? This design of the planned action implies five major innovations. (i) It is the first attempt to provide an extensive comparison between phenomenology and classical studies with a view to their respective readings of ancient thought. (ii) It is the first extensive attempt to discuss questions related to the ancient sources of European identity by addressing fascinating interdisciplinary intersections between phenomenology and classical studies. (iii) It is the first extensive attempt to challenge phenomenological readings of ancient thought by assessing them from an external viewpoint. (iv) It is the first extensive attempt to approach phenomenological conceptions of the ancient roots of Europe by avoiding a merely author-oriented approach and using a theme-oriented analysis. (v) Finally, the planned action is a concrete example of how contemporary societal, political, and cultural challenges, such as the question of European identity, can be approached by using academic scholarship, in this case two disciplines such as philosophy and classical studies.
Social Innovation for integrated health CARE of ageing population in ADRION Regions

Population projections across ADRION countries show that the share of elder adults with declining functional capacities will triple in the next 40 years (Eurostat 2019), largely dependent on the help of others and in need of long-term care services. The analysis of current situation show also that the ageing population is a driving expenditure for a healthcare (HC) and long-term care (LTC), without a visible improvement in the elderly’s life quality. Healthcare industry indeed consumes 3-9% of GDP in ADRION Regions and its divide is unacceptably large with growing inequities. Provide an adequate healthcare services for an increasing number of ageing people is a crucial question, and one of the answers, given the technological advancement, is the ambient assisted living technologies and intelligence. Social Innovation plays an important role here: applied to a healthcare system it creates social value with effective impacts on society, aggregating needs & interests, increasing civic participation and strengthening social cohesion. SI4CARE Partners will address (i) the fragmentation of institutional capacities and actors’ efforts in delivering healthcare services to the elderly; (ii) the lack of integration and coordination of existing innovative ICT tools for healthcare provision, usually tested and implemented in isolation; (iii) the lack of a shared vision across PAs on how to effectively face this changing health demand pattern in an integrated and social innovative way. SI4CARE will contribute to the creation of a transnational effective ecosystem for the Social Innovation application in integrated healthcare services for the ageing population in ADRION through a joint collaboration network and a shared strategy translated into regional and national action plans, implemented and monitored within pilots in telemedicine and accessibility to healthcare facilities, once innovative approaches have been tested and backboned by an ICT Decision Support System.
Therapieintensivierung bei mit basalunterstützter oraler Therapie (BOT) unkontrolliertem Typ-2-Diabetes: Subanalyse der SoliMix-Studie bei Teilnehmern in Europa

Change. the development of the monetary economy of ancient anatolia, c. 630-30 bc.

This project gathers, for the first time, the evidence for the development of the monetary economy of Anatolia, from the invention of coinage there in the late 7th century BC to the absorption of the region by Rome c. 30 BC. Using new digital technology, it organizes this evidence to deploy it for the first time to answer major questions concerning the economic history of this region over the longue durée.
Part 1 creates a complete overview of the relevant coinages produced by c.300 cities, 4 empires, 6 kingdoms, and c.50 independent dynasts in this period and region. Delivered with established Linked Open Data technology, this framework amalgamates coins in 5 public collections to create a database of c.50,000 coins. This database will be used to quantify monetary production over time and place.
Part 2 assembles for the first time a full record of published finds of coins from hoard and excavation contexts. This data will be amalgamated with that from Part 1 to produce a detailed mapping of movement of coinage over time and place.
Part 3 assembles a checklist of epigraphic documents attesting to monetary behaviour across the period of interest. This will be analysed for types and change of monetary activity over time, thus overlaying the evidence from one discipline on that of another.
Part 4 comprises a series of interdisciplinary enquiries into the change in the monetary economy based on data from Parts 1-3. Major questions regarding the purpose of coinage, extent of monetisation, and efficiency of transaction will be investigated. It also addresses questions that have dominated recent debates such as economic connectivity, the existence of networks, and economic balance between large states and small. CHANGE will offer a case study of what can be achieved through the marriage of ‘traditional’ research with new methods and tools created by ‘Digital Humanities’. It offers a model for the re-evaluation of the monetary economy of the whole Ancient Mediterranean.
Hyperplane Intercept Vector Calibration Method in Grey Analytical Systems

A novel vector calibration method, hyperplane intercept, is proposed for grey analytical systems to resolve the concentrations of the chemical components from the multi-component data gained from attenuated total reflectance-Fourier transform infrared (ATR-FTIR) spectroscopy. This method is capable of quantifying a particular component known to be present in the mixture without having to know the identity of the rest of the components. Through the target factor analysis (TFA), a section of the IR spectrum of the interested component is chosen to calculate the concentration by the proposed hyperplane intercept method. Results calculated from on-line ATR-FTIR spectroscopy data of cyclohexanone ammoximation process are used to illustrate the simplicity and efficiency of this proposed method.
