Ground-Breaking retractable ship bow foils for unbeatable cost-saving, emission reduction and motion stabilization

Medium-size ships navigating in waves suffer up to 100% higher resistance than in calm water. This added resistance has several
consequences: 1) dramatic speed loss, 2) increase of fuel consumption and CO2 emissions, and 3) dangerous roll (side to side) and
pitch (up and down) movement that causes seasickness and decreases crew productivity.  Adding wings or foils to a ship bow can use wave energy to propel the ship forward and damp roll and pitch motions, stabilizing the ship. However, navigating with bow foils is counterproductive in certain situations, such as in calm or extreme weather, where the foils increase the ship resistance. A retraction and storage mechanism for the foils in these situations is desired, but until now no practical solution had been developed for bow foils retraction.

We, at Wavefoil, have developed the first ever retractable bow foils. Combining the use of strong and flexible composite materials with an
innovative and patent-pending vertical retraction mechanism, we have developed the first and only retractable bow foil modules that fit the narrow bow of any vessel. Our bow foils: 1) reduce the energy consumed to propel the ship by 5-20%, 2) reduce pitch and roll motion, promoting a more comfortable and productive trip, 3) can be retracted/deployed to optimize the ship performance for any given situation. Our unique foil retraction system allows, for the first time ever, to exploit the full range of benefits of bow foils. The SmartWings project aims to mature and bring to market a unique solution for ship stabilization and forward thrust for medium-size ships. The retractable foils will become our gold-standard product and will boost Wavefoil growth, generating €75m profits and 26 new job positions by 2027. In this time, commercialization will save 1,097k tonnes of CO2(eq) emissions and €179m for global shipping. Zero-emission ships are facilitated as they will need less reserve battery capacity to traverse rough seas.
A review of energy recovery from waste in China

Although municipal solid waste (MSW) disposal in Europe and other developed countries has led to a widespread production of solid recovered fuel (SRF) and its incineration in various technical combustion processes, such developments have not yet occurred that widely in developing and transitional economies. This article puts mass-burn technologies and SRF into a China perspective, reviewing issues from technology application problems to emerging trends and future perspectives. Over the last two decades, growing waste volumes have prompted a move to waste incineration, especially in the large densely populated first-tier cities. However, with an organic fraction above 70% and a resulting water content of up to 65%, it is still argued that MSW in China is too moist for incineration. The introduction of mechanical biological treatment (MBT) or mechanical physical stabilization (MPS) technology for SRF production could provide the solution, either by offering further pre-drying options to mass-burn incinerators or by creating SRF to be burnt in co-incineration plants. First experiences of MBT and MPS technologies show promising results in terms of the capacity to deal with organic waste fractions, but the further disposal/utilization of the plants’ output stream has not yet been fully addressed.
Super-Eddington slim accretion discs with winds

We construct Super-Eddington Slim Disks models around both stellar and super-massive black holes by allowing the formation of a porous layer with a reduced effective opacity. We show that at high accretion rates, the inner part of the disks become radiation pressure dominated. However, unlike the standard scenario in which the disks become thick, super-Eddington disks remain slim. In addition, they accelerate a significant wind with a "thick disk" geometry. We show that above about 1.5 times the standard critical mass accretion rate (needed to release the Eddington luminosity), the net luminosity released is above Eddington. At above about 5 times the standard critical rate, the central BH accretes more than the Eddington accretion rate. Above about 20 m-dot_crit, the disk remains slim but the wind becomes spherical, and the present model breaks down.
MOLD CHARGE DELIVERY

An apparatus for placing a mold charge into a cavity (12) includes a pair of hubs (16, 18) mounted for rotation around parallel axes, a link (24) connected between the hubs at positions off-center relative to the parallel axes and a blade (26) connected to the link. Rotation of the hubs causes the blade to travel in an elliptical path relative to an extrusion orifice (28) to cut mold charges from the orifice and place the mold charges into cavities passing beneath the blade. The apparatus preferably includes a drive (14) that simultaneously rotates both of the hubs to drive the blade relative to the extrusion orifice and cavities. The blade preferably includes an arm (96) that extends into a cavity to place a mold charge into the bottom of the cavity for consistent and accurate placement of the mold charges from one cavity to the next.

Intellectual Property Rights for SEE

The need for IPR-related support services for SMEs is based on the reasoning that the system of IPR has gained importance over the past twenty years however, SMEs seem to use this system to a much lesser extent than large firms. Reasons usually forwarded for such behaviour are primarily related to costs, enforcement issues and/or lack of awareness on IPR issues on the side of the SMEs. This overall finding deserves special attention in the SEE context: first, the rather poor performance of these countries in terms of number, e.g., of patent applications has to be noted, secondly, many analyses show that indigenous SMEs are lagging behind their Western European counterparts with regard to key business performance aspects such as productivity or struggle heavily with access to finance. The situation could be even further aggravated by country-specific aspects, e.g. the observable extent of counterfeiting activities. The project springs from this analysis and aim at increasing maturity of SMEs for intangible asset like IPR:1. Through an analysis of gaps existing between local/SMEs needs and services available, five innovative service proposals(with related tools) will be identified and implemented; 2. particularly, this new services will be organized according to innovative modalities and e-learning modules for the requalitification and updating of operators will be implemented; 3. 9 pilot actions involving about 300 SMEs, from different economic sectors, aiming at testing these new services with a specific methodology will be carried out; 4. An independent Evaluation Committee (composed by NPOs and EPO) will evaluate results according to a methodology and a set of indicators in enlarge use of new services. 5. Agreement for sustainability of those services will be signed by the partners. 6. Communication / dissemination activities, according to a detailed communication plan, in view to widen involvement and improve linkage with National and EU networks.
Optimum Dosage of Deformed Steel Fibres in Fibrous Concrete Beams under Predominant Shear

This study presents an analytical approach to evaluate an optimum content of deformed steel fibres in shear-dominated fibrous concrete beams in order strength and ductility requirements to be satisfied. The proposed methodology is based on the calculations of the flexural and shear capacities and to the concept that a pure flexural response should be achieved. The goal of this method is to evaluate the minimum required value of the fibre factor, F, which expresses the effect of the volume fraction and the geometrical characteristics of the used steel fibres. The calculation of F is achieved using a cubic formula derived from the described procedure. Fibres can be used either as the only shear reinforcement or in combination with stirrups. Test results from 47 beams of the literature are used to verify and to illustrate the application of the proposed approach. Comparisons between experimental and predicted results showed a very good agreement. Design charts have also been plotted by the implementation of this methodology as an analysis tool.
Cancer therapy using non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma with ultra-high electron density

Cancer therapy using non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma is a big challenge in plasma medicine. Reactive species generated from plasma are key factors for treating cancer cells, and thus, non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma with high electron density has been developed and applied for cancer treatment. Various cancer cell lines have been treated with plasma, and non-thermal atmospheric plasma clearly has anti-tumor effects. Recent innovative studies suggest that plasma can both directly and indirectly affect cells and tissues, and this observation has widened the range of applications. Thus, cancer therapy using non-thermal atmospheric pressure plasma is promising. Animal experiments and understanding the mode of action are essential for clinical application in the future. A new academic field that combines plasma science, the biology of free radicals, and systems biology will be established.
Electrophysiological index of acoustic temporal regularity violation in the middle latency range

Acoustic violations in temporal regularity have been traditionally indexed by mismatch negativity (MMN). However, recent studies have demonstrated that humans can detect auditory changes in physical sound features, such as frequency, location and intensity, in the first 50 ms after sound onset. Our aim was to examine if temporal regularity violations could be detected in the middle latency range.We used an oddball paradigm with 290 ms as standard stimulus onset asynchrony (SOA) and 200 ms as deviant SOA. We also employed a control paradigm that comprised of seven SOAs including 200 and 290 ms, in order to control for differences due to refractoriness.In the middle latency range, temporal regularity violations led to enhanced Pa and Nb responses, which behaved differently to the corresponding SOAs in the control condition. In the long latency range, temporal regularity violations led to similar behaviours in both oddball and control paradigms.These findings suggest that with a fast presentation rate, human brains are capable to detect temporal regularity violations in the middle latency range.Together with previous studies that found early change detection responses, the current study emphasises that the human brain can encode simple regularity violation as early as approximately 50 ms post-stimulus onset.
Examination of the energy phase space of mixed copper grain boundaries by EBSD and the sphere-on-a-plate method

Abstract This article reports on an experimental study of the energy phase space of mixed copper grain boundaries by a combination of electron backscatter diffraction (EBSD) and the so-called sphere-on-a-plate method. Single crystal copper spheres with diameters of a few microns were sintered onto flat single crystal {1 1 1} copper plates, resulting in random initial grain boundary configurations. EBSD measurements together with an assumption about the grain boundary plane orientation were used for the determination of the five macroscopic degrees of freedom of the grain boundaries. The tilt and twist components of the grain boundaries were calculated making use of the interface plane scheme representation of grain boundaries. Upon annealing, the spheres rotated along gradients in the grain boundary energy phase space. Thus, points of the trajectories of single spheres could be recorded between the single annealing steps, allowing for tracing the path of single spheres towards and into energy minima regions. The results gathered from 13 spheres underline a strong complexity of the grain boundary energy phase space.
ENTERING A SEQUENCE OF CHARACTERS INTO AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

An electronic device (200), and method (300), for entering a sequence of characters. The method (300) performs determining alternative sequences of character input entries (310) that are entered by actuation of aphanumeric keys (220) on a keypad (155) of the electronic device (200). The actuation of the alphanumeric keys (220) is in an actuation sequence, wherein the alternative sequences of character input entries correspond to the actuation sequence and at least one of the alphanumeric keys (220) in the actuation sequence is mapped to more than one character thereby resulting in the alternative sequences of character input entries. The method (300) provides for displaying (315) on a display screen of the electronic device (200), at least one character string derived from the alternative sequences of character input entries and indicia identifying the actuation sequence.
Epidemiologie der Augenbeteiligung beim Morbus Adamantiades-Behçet

Epidemiological studies demonstrate a prevalence of Adamantiades-Behçets disease (MAB) in the range of 0.12–420 per 100,000 inhabitants with the highest rates in Istanbul, Turkey and the lowest rates in the USA. Ophthalmological data on the prevalence of ocular involvement are limited for MAB in Germany because most epidemiological studies are based on rheumatological or dermatological data. Berlin is the city with the highest number of non-native German inhabitants and its multiethnic character renders it uniquely appropriate for epidemiological studies on MAB. This article summarizes the most important epidemiological data of 140 patients (63 female and 77 male) with a mean follow-up of 6.4 years (range 0.5–22 years) which we have recently published. The mean age was 23 years at the first manifestation and 32 years when the fully developed disease was recorded. The mean age at onset of ocular involvement was 30 years, 56% of patients developed ocular involvement, which was the first manifestation in 8.6% and the second manifestation in 19.3%. More than half the patients developed ocular involvement. The calculated prevalence of ocular involvement in MAB is 1.77/100,000 inhabitants for the population of Berlin.

Bibliographic index coverage of open-access journals in six subject areas

We investigate the extent to which open-access (OA) journals and articles in biology, computer science, economics, history, medicine, and psychology are indexed in each of 11 bibliographic databases. We also look for variations in index coverage by journal subject, journal size, publisher type, publisher size, date of first OA issue, region of publication, language of publication, publication fee, and citation impact factor. Two databases, Biological Abstracts and PubMed, provide very good coverage of the OA journal literature, indexing 60 to 63% of all OA articles in their disciplines. Five databases provide moderately good coverage (22–41%), and four provide relatively poor coverage (0–12%). OA articles in biology journals, English-only journals, high-impact journals, and journals that charge publication fees of $1,000 or more are especially likely to be indexed. Conversely, articles from OA publishers in Africa, Asia, or Central/South America are especially unlikely to be indexed. Four of the 11 databases index commercially published articles at a substantially higher rate than articles published by universities, scholarly societies, nonprofit publishers, or governments. Finally, three databases—EBSCO Academic Search Complete, ProQuest Research Library, and Wilson OmniFile—provide less comprehensive coverage of OA articles than of articles in comparable subscription journals. © 2011 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Spatial scenarios in relation to the ESDP and EU Cohesion Policy 

The main objective of the project is to develop spatial scenarios which should on the one hand be prospective, capable of prognostics with reference to a laissez-faire scenario on themes of the ESPON and policy orientations of the ESDP.

On the other hand the scenarios should as well be proactive testing alternative objectives and provide insight for recommendations on policy adjustments/changes in EU policies that would favour a balanced and polycentric territory and territorial cohesion within an enlarged European Union. The time horizon for the spatial scenarios is set to 2015 (mid term) and 2030 (long term).
Planning the obstacle-avoidance trajectory of mobile anchor in 3D sensor networks

Localization plays an important role in many applications of wireless sensor networks. Recently, mobile anchor assisted localization methods become promising, and the moving trajectory planning of anchor is an interesting and basic issue in these methods. In this paper, an obstacle-avoidance trajectory planning method for three-dimensional wireless sensor networks is proposed. After dividing the network into grids, a depth-first-search algorithm with greedy strategy is proposed to get the approximately shortest path, and a trigonal function based localization method is presented to estimate the positions of the sensor nodes. Simulations show that this method can obtain almost the optimal path and localize almost all the sensor nodes.
Adapting Value for Cultivation and Use testing to stimulate the release of improved varieties for the organic sector. The case of spring wheat in The Netherlands

Value for Cultivation and Use (VCU), the mandatory variety testing system for agricultural crops in the European Union (EU), has been used as a policy instrument by favouring the release of variety types that enable socially desirable developments, such as reducing fungicide use. With this paper, we aim to assess whether VCU can be used to enhance the availability of varieties suitable to organic farming. Therefore, we analyse data of an organic spring wheat VCU project that was conducted between 2001 and 2004 at three locations in the Netherlands. Varieties selected through organic VCU were clearly more suitable for organic production than those registered through the conventional procedure. However, new varieties could not match the baking quality of the organic standard variety. We conclude that enhancing the number of suitable varieties for the organic sector requires adapting both conventional breeding programmes as well as the VCU system.
SWORDS OF LIONS AND EAGLES

During the 14th and 17th c., the area of the Province of Belluno and the regions of Tyrol and Friuli experienced an economic rise due to the exploitation of two major resources, wood and iron. The Province of Belluno acquired fame throughout Europe thanks to its swordsmiths who forged blades of highest quality. These blades were then marketed abroad and cherished by the eminent monarchs of the day, such as Maximilian I. The iron mine of Fursil, managed by the Bishopric of Brixen, was vital for this success as its iron ore was skilfully extracted by miners coming from all parts of the Empire, Tyrol in particular, and was characterised by high elasticity and anti-rust properties. At that time, the Maniago area became a major production site of blades, a tradition still continued today both industrially and as a handcraft. All participating areas are united by specific features which intertwine thanks to the shared history - the territory was once governed by the Republic of Venice, represented by the St. Mark’s Lion, or by the eagle of the Hapsburg Empire. As part of this interdisciplinary project proposal, the following measures will be adopted in order to enhance the tangible and intangible heritage: creation of a tourist route crossing the three regions; renovation of sites linked to sword manufacture; organisation of cross-border events; educational initiatives; cooperation in the context of advanced research programme, the creation of a hoplologic cataloguing system.
