Microbial life in oil

Microbial biodegradation is a key factor influencing the quality of oil and, according to current concepts, takes place mostly at the continuous oil-water transition zone in oil reservoirs. 
I recently discovered microorganisms in minuscule water droplets (1-3 µl) entrapped in oil from a natural oil seep. In EcOILogy, I propose that biodegradation of oil resources takes place in such minuscule water droplets dispersed in the oil phase which is a shift of paradigm and a new conceptional view for environmental science, -life in oil-. EcOILogy aims to explore this new world investigating the generic principles of life in oil. I will study if such droplets are a common phenomenon in degraded oil resources and how significant the respective degradation activities are. To this end, I will develop reverse stable isotope labelling as a novel method for quantifying minute microbial activities (WP 1). The droplets provide a unique test system of micro-ecosystem, all experiencing identical boundary conditions in the oil with no dispersion of microorganisms between the isolated droplets. I will study how microbial communities for oil degradation assemble in the droplets allowing for unprecedented testing of ecological theory including a new bimodal hypothesis of community assembly. To tackle the big challenge of metabolic traits in systems ecology, I will make use of metagenomics, single cell sequencing, and high resolution metabolomics to assess the functions in single water droplets (WP 2). Finally, I will study how microorganisms adapt to this extreme environment under saturated hydrocarbon concentrations by isolation and comparative genome analysis of strains and study the role of different organisms in the droplets by Raman-CLSM (WP 3). 
Thus, EcOilogy opens new horizons for microbial degradation of our most important energy resources with far-reaching implications for fundamental, interdisciplinary understanding of ecological processes, bioremediation, and oil exploratio
Factors Affecting Health Promoting Lifestyle in Nursing Students

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate factors affecting health promoting lifestyle in nursing students. Methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was done using a convenient sampling (n=682) in a three-year nursing college. The health promoting lifestyle was measured by the instrument of Walker's and self esteem was measured by the instrument of Rosenberg's. Data were analyzed by descriptive statistics, chi-square test, oneway ANOVA and Stepwise multiple regression. Results: The average score of health promoting lifestyle was 2.34. The score of psycho-social well-being subscale was higher than that of health promoting behavior subscale. The highest score was on the interpersonal relations subscale, and the lowest score was on the physical activity subscale. The self-esteem, mental health status, satisfaction with school life, school year, perceived economic status, and gender accounted for 31.9% of the variance of health promoting lifestyle. Conclusion: Self-esteem was the most powerful influencing variable of the health promoting lifestyle, and physical activity was the lowest score of the health promoting lifestyle subscale. Therefor nursing educators should consider to include a health promotion program with increasing self esteem and physical activity in the nursing curriculum.
Capacitive measuring of crude palm oil-water mixture

Oil palm is one of the famous commercial crops of Thailand. The production is in the 3th rank of the south east Asia, and plantation is still increasing every year. To investigate the feasibility of using electrical capacitance measuring technique as an alternative method for low-cost non-destructive, oil palm fresh oil (CPO) and water have been prepared and studied. One group is concerned with the immiscible fluid and another is all ultrasonic shakes. The mass concentration (x) of CPO varied from 0 g/cm3 to 0.9 g/cm3 and then all experiments were tested on room temperature (25oC). Guard parallel structure has been used in conjunction with AD7747 capacitive to digital converter to obtain capacitance value (y). The results show that y = 0.11987x2 − 0.46104x + 0.47418 with r2 = 0.98098. The model for second sample is y = 0.08965x2 − 0.41335x + 0.3731 with r2 = 0.9554. The capacitance of first sample is higher than the second sample. As previously mentioned, this project aims to make benefit of interest on seasonable optimistic harvests.
Cryopreservation of Sambar deer semen in Thailand

Little is known of the different freezing and thawing techniques for post-thaw survival of spermatozoa in Sambar deer. So, this study determined the effect of seminal plasma, egg yolk and glycerol extenders and their concentrations, plus cooling, freezing, and thawing protocols on the post-thaw quality of their semen. Semen samples were collected by electro-ejaculation from four Thai Sambar deer stags (Cervus unicolor equinus). As evaluated by post-thaw progressive motility and acrosome integrity removal of seminal plasma was beneficial; Tris-egg yolk was the most efficient extender; a 20% egg yolk concentration was better than the 0%, 10%, or 30%; and a 3% glycerol concentration was better than 5%, 7%, or 9%. Using the optimum dilution techniques, semen was loaded in 0.5 ml plastic straws. Cooling times from ambient temperature to 5°C in 3 hr resulted in higher post-thaw progressive motility and acrosome integrity than 1, 2, or 4 hr. Suspending the straws 4 cm above the surface for 15 min before plunging into liquid nitrogen was better than suspending at 2 or 6 cm. For thawing frozen semen, an intermediate thawing (50°C, 8 sec) protocol was more effective than the slower (37°C, 10 sec) or faster (70°C, 5 sec) thawing rates. Timed insemination following estrus synchronization of 10 hinds resulted in six confirmed pregnancies at 60 days. Five hinds delivered live fawns. This study provides an effective approach for semen cryopreservation and artificial insemination (AI), which should be valuable to scientists for genetics and reproductive management of Sambar deer in developing countries.
A pan-national collaborative analytics platform for the exploration and improvement of population health

Healthcare data analysis has become an integral part of public health policy making, medical research, the development of
new treatments and medical innovation. Governments, pharmaceutical industries, insurance companies, medical research
groups and hospitals increasingly use population-based healthcare data as a critical support to research and decisionmaking.

Citizens are also increasingly keen to learn about the distribution and outcome of conditions which they may be
suffering from. However, an affordable, user-friendly platform that brings together population health and research data from
multiple sources and enables it to be easily presented and ‘mined’ for this wide range of purposes does not currently exist.
iMoHEALTH will meet this need. The completed iMoHEALTH SMEI Phase 1 feasibility study enabled developers, FACE
Recording and Measurement Systems Ltd, to conduct a number of research and development activities to build a detailed
business plan. This, combined with the exceptionally enthusiastic response of both prospective users and potential
commercial partners, confirmed that the product meets a clear market need and will have major perceived benefits to
healthcare stakeholders across Europe. Indeed, the level of response suggested that the need is even greater and more
keenly felt than had been previously anticipated. 

To build on the current TRL6, this project sets out to refine and improve the iMoHEALTH platform by both evolution of the back-end architecture and additional front-end functionality to reach TRL9, as well as performance verification in a broader range of healthcare contexts. FACE has over 20 years of experience in the health and social care sectors, developing solutions that meet the collective needs of practitioners, patients/service users and their carers, managers, policymakers and researchers. FACE has a national reputation for delivering high quality solutions, producing nationally accredited and awarding winning products.
A study on the reduction of noise and vibration of SPM according to reduction of Permanent Magnet

Electric power steering is designed to use an electric motor to reduce effort by providing steering assist to the driver of a vehicle. EPS have advantages which are economical and eco-friendly compare with hydraulic power steering, because power steering oil is not used and efficiency of vehicle is increased to 3∼5 %.[1] Since EPS is connected to handle of vehicle, noise and vibration have an effect on the driver directly. So study on the reduction of noise of vibration of EPS is proceeding. This paper deals with reduction of noise and vibration which are generated by electrical forces between stator and rotor according to reduction of permanent magnet. In order to analyze noise of surface permanent magnet (SPM) motor, this paper deals with relation between deformation of stator and noise from motor. The normal and tangential force which affects on the tooth are computed by equivalent magnetizing current (EMC).
Kinetic Modelling of Synaptic Functions in the Alpha Rhythm Neural Mass Model

AbstractIn this work, we introduce the kinetic framework for modelling synaptic transmission in an existing neural mass model of the thalamocortical circuitry to study Electroencephalogram (EEG) slowing within the alpha frequency band (8–13 Hz), a hallmark of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). Ligand-gated excitatory and inhibitory synapses mediated by AMPA (α-amino-3-hydroxy-5-methyl-4-isoxazolepropionic acid) and GABA A (gamma-amino-butyric acid) receptors respectively are modelled. Our results show that the concentration of the GABA neurotransmitter acts as a bifurcation parameter, causing the model to switch from a limit cycle mode to a steady state. Further, the retino-geniculate pathway connectivity plays a significant role in modulating the power within the alpha band, thus conforming to research proposing ocular biomarkers in AD. Overall, kinetic modelling of synaptic transmission in neural mass models has enabled a more detailed investigation into the neural correlates underlying abnormal EEG in AD.KeywordsAlpha RhythmAlpha BandThalamic Reticular NucleusNeural Mass ModelNeurotransmitter ConcentrationThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.

An Organophosphorus Hydrolase-Based Biosensor for Direct Detection of Paraoxon Using Silica-Coated Magnetic Nanoparticles

Rapid detection of organophosphorous (OP) compounds such as paraoxon would allow taking immediate decision on efficient decontamination procedures and could prevent further damage and potential casualties. In the present study, a biosensor based on nanomagnet-silica core-shell conjugated to organophosphorous hydrolase (OPH) enzyme was designed for detection of paraoxon. Coumarin1, a competitive inhibitor of the OPH enzyme, was used as a fluorescence-generating molecule. Upon excitation of cumarin1 located at the active site of the enzyme, i.e., OPH, the emitted radiations were intensified due to the mirroring effect of the nanomagnet-silica core-shell conjugated to the enzyme. In presence of paraoxon and consequent competition with the fluorophore in occupying enzyme's active site, a significant reduction in emitted radiations was observed. This reduction was proportional to paraoxon concentration in the sample. The method worked in the 10- to 250-nM concentration range had a low standard deviation (with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 6-10%), and the detection limit was as low as 5 × 10(-6) μM.
Integrated solar heating and cooling unit based on a novel zeolite chiller and heat pump

The overall objective of this project is to develop a new advanced solar cooling and heating product, using advanced heat
exchanger technology and integrating a heat pump for covering peak demand. This new product is based on the further
improvement and integration of the products already commercialized by Fahren and Akotec. It uses synergies between the
technologies of thermal chillers (heat to cooling technology) and heat pump (electricity to cooling technology) and combines
know-how on design and manufacturing of adsorption chillers and solar thermal collectors in Germany, with the know-how in
heat pump and dry cooling systems of CNR and NTUA.
The main innovation of the project is the adsorption chiller unit based on Fahren’s patented zeolite coating technology,
reducing the unit’s volume and cost by about two times. This new product is expected to become cost-effective and with high
flexibility for providing both cooling (during summer) and heating (during winter) from the same compact product, being more
competitive than existing mainstream solution, reducing energy costs of the end-users and leading to short ROI. The main
target market is the heating, ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) market, with the ambition to become front-runners and
provide the first cost-effective product, with low maintenance requirements. The target cost is to reach just 2000 €/kW (with
solar field and cooling, heating and thermal storage included) and secure a short return on investment.
The new product will be commercialized by a new joint venture established between Fahren and Akotec with Diadikasia
being a strategic partner for promotion and sales in south Europe. The initial target markets are in Greece, Italy and
Germany, while further expansion steps will follow once sales increase.
High variation-tolerant obstacle-avoiding clock mesh synthesis with symmetrical driving trees

For high-performance chip designs, a clock network with high tolerance towards process-variation is essential for chip synchronization. Clock mesh structure are widely used in these designs because of its resistant to variations. However, traditional mesh structures suffer from several drawbacks such as difficulty in timing estimation, inability to handle obstacles, and high power consumption. This paper proposes a new obstacle-avoiding clock mesh synthesis method which applies a two-stage approach of mesh construction followed by driving-tree synthesis. The method achieves very low skew through structural optimization, thus eliminating the need of direct timing estimation and/or SPICE simulation during clock network synthesis. In addition, our approach handles obstacles with the structural consideration, and reduces power consumption by removing non-critical mesh components and optimizing the driving-tree structure. Based on the benchmarks of the ISPD'10 Clock Network Synthesis Contest, the top contest performers result in 1.32X skew over our approach by using mesh structure, and more than 2.0X skew over our approach by using tree structure. Our approach runs 8326X/11421X faster than teams that used simulation, and 67X/90X times faster than teams that did not use simulation.
Source-differentiated analysis of exchange rate effects on US beef imports

The non-linear Inverse Almost Ideal Demand System is used in estimating the impact of exchange rates on source-differentiated import demand for beef in the USA. We estimate scale, own and cross-price flexibilities for six major beef suppliers and the rest of the world, incorporating exchange rates exogenously. Results indicate that beef imports from Canada and ROW were own-price flexible but, the remaining countries – Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, Australia and New Zealand were own-price inflexible. Though exchange rate pass-through differs among sources, nearly all of the exporting countries had a near complete exchange rate pass-through. All own exchange-rate effects are negative and significant, except beef imported from Uruguay while nearly all cross exchange-rate effects are insignificant.
Cambium genetics in arabidopsis and aspen: basic science meets wood production

Multicellular organisms require an accurate coordination of multiple growth programs to develop. In plants, the lateral growth is the process by which stems and roots grow in diameter. Lateral growth is a pivotal process for plant development that (i) provides the mechanical stability that plants need to expand their growth and sustain their structures and (ii) brings about large amounts of extremely useful plant biomass, especially in the form of wood in trees. Lateral growth is mediated by a specialised group of stem cells collectively called cambium. Remarkably for such a crucial cell-type for plant development and biomass generation, very little is known about the genetic regulation of cambium. Dr. Agusti’s lab has identified new strong potential cambium regulators through a novel approach that combines natural variation and Genome-Wide Association Studies (GWAS) in the model plant Arabidopsis thaliana. Based on the sophisticated skills that I acquired in the field of tree genetics and genomics and on the large experience on genomics techniques held in the lab of Dr. Agusti, I present a project that will:
1) Characterise the role of new potential cambium regulators identified in Dr. Agusti’s lab in Arabidopsis and Aspen trees, using state of the art genetic and molecular techniques.
2) Discover new cambium regulators in Arabidopsis by expanding the natural variation and GWAS approach previously used in Agusti’s lab.
3) Translate the results obtained through 1) and 2) into the generation of new Aspen varieties (using state of the art techniques on tree genetics and genomics that I have extensively used in the past) with the view of enhancing biomass production in Aspen in the form of wood.
Results will (i) unravel new and fundamental aspects of the genetic regulation of cambium activity, illuminating our general understanding on plant development and (ii) strongly impact on Europe excellence by enhancing our capacity for plant biomass production.
Raman response of stage-1 graphite intercalation compounds revisited

We present a detailed in-situ Raman analysis of stage-1 KC8, CaC6, and LiC6 graphite intercalation compounds (GIC) to unravel their intrinsic finger print. Four main components were found between 1200 cm-1 and 1700 cm-1, and each of them were assigned to a corresponding vibrational mode. From a detailed line shape analysis of the intrinsic Fano-lines of the G- and D-line response we precisely determine the position ({\omega}ph), line width ({\Gamma}ph) and asymmetry (q) from each component. The comparison to the theoretical calculated line width and position of each component allow us to extract the electron-phonon coupling constant of these compounds. A coupling constant {\lambda}ph < 0.06 was obtained. This highlights that Raman active modes alone are not sufficient to explain the superconductivity within the electron-phonon coupling mechanism in CaC6 and KC8.
Late effects of a perinatal exposure to a 16 PAH mixture: Increase of anxiety-related behaviours and decrease of regional brain metabolism in adult male rats

Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbons (PAHs) are ubiquitous pollutants originated from incomplete combustion processes. Ingestion of contaminated food is the main route of exposure for humans. These molecules are able to cross the placental barrier and are also found in breast milk. Since PAHs are neurotoxic agents, the potential adverse effects of a perinatal exposure of the developing brain is a key issue for public health especially concerning PAH mixture. In this study, female rats were exposed trough diet to a mixture of 16 PAHs, at doses of 2 μg/kg/day or 200 μg/kg/day during gestation and 1.5 μg/kg/day or 150 μg/kg/day during breast-feeding period. To assess late neurotoxic effects in male offsprings, behavioural and cognitive tests were carried out and histochemical analyses using cytochrome oxidase as a cerebral metabolism marker were performed on adult animals. Results showed that anxiety-related behaviours significantly increased in exposed animals, but there was no significant alteration of motor activity and learning and memory abilities. Several brain areas of the limbic system showed a neuronal hypometabolism in exposed animals. This work highlights that exposure to PAHs at early stages of brain development can cause later troubles on behaviour and that PAHs are able to partly alter the central nervous system metabolism on adulthood.
