How to turn a drainage ditch into a trail

A farmtown called Brackley, located in the province of Prince Edward Island in Canada, is making use of the Coalition for Active Living, a program which encourages communities to adopt policies and implement projects that make it easier for residents to get out and exercise. Brackley has a 1.62 mile link to a regional trail system under construction, which is part of a larger installation to connect neighboring downtown Charlottetown to the south to the Confederation Trail along the north coast of the island. As 11.8 miles of trail will run next to a two-lane arterial road, users will be separated from traffic by the road's former drainage ditch, instead of a shoulder. This land now conveys stormwater in an enclosed structure, using corrugated high-density polyethylene (HDPE) pipe; increases the area's scenic appeal; and adds an attraction for tourists and residents to utilize.
Transit Systems Development for Urban Regeneration

Urban public transport systems such as tramways, buses, and light rail systems not only enhance overall mobility in cities they also improve environmental conditions and generate wider benefits related to economic development and urban regeneration. However, in planning, implementing, and maintaining public transport systems, urban areas typically face a number of challenges including high investment costs, lengthy planning and implementation phases, the need to reorganize the urban road network, and the need for public subsidies to sustain operation. Overall objective / Objectif général The overall aim of “TranSUrban- Transit Systems Development for Urban Regeneration” is to exchange experience and transfer know-how concerning the planning, implementation and operation as well as the extension and upgrading of urban transit systems in small and medium sized cities. Issues to be addressed by the partnership of cities include technical aspects as well as accompanying measures, the institutional and legal frameworks, funding mechanisms, and procedures to evaluate the potential environmental and urban regeneration benefits as well as socio-economic impacts. Expected results / Résultats attendus The operation results in more effective introduction and operation of urban transit systems. It increases awareness among policy-makers, citizens and other local stakeholders about the benefits of urban transit systems and provides participating urban areas with improved information and decision-making tools and improved transport and mobility policies. Activities include the analysis of the present situation in participating urban areas, including market research and travel behavior analysis. Based on feasibility and financing studies and joint socio-economic assessments of benefits, partners develop strategic and operational plans for their areas.

A study of the prevalence of diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli in children from Gwagwalada, Federal Capital Territory, Nigeria

Diarrhoeagenic Escherichia coli (DEC) are major causes of diarrhoea in Nigeria. This study was conducted to determine the prevalence of diarrhoea caused by DEC within the Federal Capital Territory, Abuja, Nigeria.A total of 730 rectal swabs obtained from 201 children with diarrhoea and 529 healthy controls aged 0-24 months were cultured for the isolation of Escherichia coli. All E. coli isolates were investigated by PCR to determine their pathotype.A total of 61 DEC strains were recovered at a rate of 18.4% and 2.6% from children with diarrhoea and healthy controls respectively. The DEC strains recovered were Enteroaggregative Escherichia coli (34.4%), Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli (31.1%), Enterotoxigenic Escherichia coli(18.0%), typical enteropathogenic Escherichia coli (15.0%) and Enteroinvasive Escherichia coli (1.6%). Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli andEnteroinvasive Escherichia coli were recovered only from children suffering from diarrhoea and the overall prevalence of DEC strains was significantly higher among the children with diarrhoea (P < 0.0001). The number of DEC strains obtained during the dry season was significantly higher (P = 0.012) than the number obtained in the rainy season.Diarrhoea caused by E. coli in the Nigerian children studied is associated with several diarrhoeagenic pathotypes and a significant proportion of the healthy children were found to harbour EAEC and ETEC strains. These asymptomatic carriers may be regarded as potential transmitters of infection to vulnerable children in the study area.
Territorial and Urban Potentials Connected to Migration and Refugee Flows

The service contract will contribute in raising knowledge on the territorial impact of migration and refugee flows in the Adriatic-Ionian and Danube macro-regions in order to take these aspects into account in the framework of the EUSAIR and EUSDR strategy and the ETC programmes. Both the Adriatic-Ionian and Danube macro-regions face substantial inflows of migrants and refugees coming from outside the EU due to their geographical location. Some regions, like North Aegean and Puglia, have become the main landing points. Others, like Bavaria and Baden-Württemberg, are regions facing the highest influx of migrants as points of final destination. Therefore, both macro-regions are characterized by strong interdependencies and similar challenges in this matter. The main outcome should be a comprehensive overview of the recent migration and refugee flows in the Adriatic-Ionian and Danube macro-regions from a qualitative and quantitative point of view looking at the main driving forces affecting the geographical distribution of the migrants (e.g. attractiveness of specific regions and cities to migrants and refugees). In addition, the territorial impacts of migration will be investigated seeking to explain how migration affect the current socioeconomic challenges and possibly provide opportunities as well. As a result the policy recommendations will focus on how different territories can overcome challenges of unpredictable and large scale inflows, manage integration and enhance the potentials in their endeavors to cope with the current migration and refugee inflows within their strategic policy and development objectives.
Recent Trends for Discovery and Enhancement of Enzyme Function: A Review

RECENTLY, there is a growing recognition of enzymes utilization as ecofriendly alternative for chemical catalysts in various industrial sectors. Two main approaches are used to expand the enzymes utilization in various industrial applications including (i) Searching nature for discovery of better performing novel biocatalysts and (ii) Improvement of the enzyme function and properties. The recent advances in biocatalyst discovery and engineering have led to an increase of the efficiency and functional diversityof enzymes. Therefore, enzyme application is expanding to broader industrial processes, including those which were previously restricted to the classical chemical catalysts. Furthermore, there is a significant success in developing made-to-order enzymes that meet the industrial process conditions requirements, leading to more efficient and cost-effective processes. Here I highlight state-of-the-art strategies and tools for novel enzyme discovery and function enhancement, including enzyme engineering at the molecular level through different approaches such as directed evolution, rational design, semi rational design and computational de novo enzyme design; in addition to the recently developed field, nanobiocatalysis.
Biodiesel Production from Neem Seed (Azadirachta indica) Oil Using Calcium Oxide as Heterogeneous Catalyst

Biofuel is an alternative and environment friendly source of energy, originated by the use of fossil fuels and have led to a notable growing demand from the last few decades. As biodiesel are usually acquired from renewable sources like vegetable and animal oils, for example coconut oil is extracted from the coconut and then characterized for further usage. The aim of this study is to investigate the production of biodiesel from neem oil and to characterize the parameters that affect biodiesel performance. The Biodiesel was produced using trans-esterification process resulting in the values of saponification 191 mg KOH/g, iodine 10 mgl2/g, acid 14.0 mg KOH/g, density 0.91 g, viscosity 23 mm2/s and flash point 266°C. The biodiesel was also characterized and showed that the it has density of 820 kg/m3, viscosity 3.5 mm2/s, saponification value 91 mg KOH/g, iodine value 8.9 mgl2/g, acid content 30.8 mg KOH/g and flash point 110°C. The physicochemical properties obtained were also compared to standard biodiesel in the range of ASTM specifications.
What Explains Big Gender Disparities in India? Local Industrial Structures and Female Entrepreneurship

Despite rapid economic growth, gender disparities in women's economic participation have remained deep and persistent in India. What explains these huge gender disparities? Is it poor infrastructure, limited education, and gender composition of the labor force and industries? Or is it deficiencies in social and business networks and a low share of incumbent female entrepreneurs?This paper analyzes the spatial determinants of female entrepreneurship in India in the manufacturing and services sectors. Good infrastructure and education predict higher female entry shares. There are strong agglomeration economies in both manufacturing and services, where higher female ownership among incumbent businesses within a district-industry predicts a greater share of subsequent entrepreneurs will be female. Moreover, higher female ownership of local businesses in related industries (similar labor needs, input-output markets) predicts greater relative female entry rates. Gender networks thus clearly matter for women's economic participation. However, there is a need to develop a better understanding of how gender networks influence aggregate efficiency. There is no doubt that gender empowerment can be the escalator to realizing human potential and for creating a robust platform for growth and job creation.
Self-relevance modulates brain responses to angry body expressions

In a social context, the direction of the body of surrounding agents indicates whether one is the potential target of an impending action or simply an observer, and thus influences the way one processes and reacts to their emotional expressions. The present functional magnetic resonance imaging experiment investigated how self-relevance influences anger processing in the brain by independently manipulating target (oriented to self or to other) and emotion (neutral and anger). The perception of body expression of anger elicits activity in a previously identified network that includes the amygdala, the fusiform gyrus, the superior temporal sulcus and the premotor cortex. Activity within this network is independent of body direction and is parametrically modulated by the intensity of the bodily emotional expression. Moreover, the ventromedial prefrontal cortex and somatosensory cortices responded preferentially to anger expressions oriented to self. We suggest that these brain areas may participate in the selection of specific behavioural strategies when one is the potential target of someone's anger.

FoxPSL: An Extended and Scalable PSL Implementation

In this paper we present foxPSL, an extended and scalable implementation of Probabilistic Soft Logic (PSL) based on the distributed graph processing framework SIGNAL/COLLECT. PSL is a template language for hinge-loss Markov Random Fields, in which MAP inference is formulated as a constrained convex minimization problem. A key feature of PSL is the capability to represent soft truth values, allowing the expression of complex domain knowledge. To the best of our knowledge, foxPSL is the first end-toend distributed PSL implementation, supporting the full PSL pipeline from problem definition to a distributed solver that implements the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) consensus optimization. foxPSL provides a Domain Specific Language that extends standard PSL with a type system and existential quantifiers, allowing for efficient grounding. We compare the performance of foxPSL to a stateof-the-art implementation of ADMM consensus optimization in GraphLab, and show that foxPSL improves both inference time and solution quality.

5G enhanced robot autonomy

5G-ERA is oriented towards a user-centric paradigm of integrating vertical knowledge into the existing standardised 5G testing framework to improve Quality of Experience (QoE). The project addresses the new challenges on experimental facilities for the vertical developers and designers through the following activities: 1) integrating operational processes of essential autonomous robotic capabilities into Open Source MANO (OSM), ensuring the vertical specific adaptation of existing experimentation facilities, 2) realising an intent-based networking paradigm by aligning the end-to-end (E2E) resource optimisation with the autonomous operations, ensuring effective policy to be designed 3) Cloud native Network Services (NSs) on the experimental facilities will create, ensuring robotic applications exploiting NFV/SDN infrastructures efficiently, 4) extending the experimentation facilities into robotic domains thorough standard APIs under Robot Operating System (ROS), prompting third-parties’ experimentation activities as well as engagement from new players.

Robot autonomy is essential for many 5G vertical sectors and can provide multiple benefits in automated mobility, Industry 4.0 and healthcare. 5G technology, on the other hand, has the great potential to enhance the robot autonomy. Use cases from four vertical sectors, namely public protection and disaster relief (PPDR), transport, healthcare and manufacturing will be validated in the project by rapid prototyping of NetApp solutions and enhanced vertical experiences on autonomy. These case studies can be regarded as showcases of the potential of 5G and 5G-ERA to the acceleration of the ongoing convergence of robotics, AI & cloud computing; and to unlock a next level of autonomy through 5G based learning in general.
