The once only principle project

The “Once-Only” Principle Project (TOOP) explores and demonstrates the “once-only” principle through multiple sustainable pilots, using a federated architecture on a cross-border collaborative pan-European scale in order to identify drivers and barriers and to provide a basis for future implementations and wider use. Three pilots are implemented: (1) Cross-border e-Services for Business Mobility, (2) Updating Connected Company Data and (3) Online Ship and Crew Certificates. TOOP has the ambition to connect 59 information systems from 21 countries. The methodological approach of TOOP is based on an exploratory and agile pilot life-cycle approach to cross-border pilots, the planning and implementation of which is supported by the development of a generic federated architecture and building blocks, the identification and mitigation of barriers, including legal issues, and the evaluation of the results, with pro-active dissemination and sustainable exploitation of the results throughout the project. TOOP’s main technological innovation is a generic federated OOP architecture that supports the interconnection and interoperability of national registries at the EU level. The pilots planned are ambitious as they contain innovations and provide a basis for recommendations for future implementations and the wider use of the OOP. The project is an important learning environment for OOP in particular and European e-Government in general. The pilots are scalable and can be extended to all Member States in subsequent years. TOOP’s consortium of 51 organisations consists of 19 national administrations (or authorized thereby) from 19 different EU Member States and 2 Associated Countries. The public administrations provide effective piloting, research partners make sure that the key preconditions for effective piloting are met, and private entities support exploitation, all complementing each other in the whole range of activities and areas dealt with in TOOP.
A trust-augmented voting scheme for collaborative privacy management

Social networking sites have sprung up and become a hot issue of current society. In spite of the fact that these sites provide users with a variety of attractive features, much to users' dismay, however, they are prone to expose users' private information. In this paper, we propose an approach which addresses the problem of collaboratively deciding privacy policies for, but not limited to, shared photos. Our approach utilizes trust relations in social networks and combines them with Condorcet's preferential voting scheme. We study properties of our trust-augmented voting scheme and develop two approximations to improve its efficiency. Our algorithms are compared and justified by experimental results, which support the usability of our trust-augmented voting scheme.

OILFIELD OPTICAL DATA TRANSMISSION ASSEMBLY JOINT

A joint for disposing between a rotatable drum and stationary surface equipment. The joint serves as a channel through which optical data from a well access line may be routed through the rotating drum and to the stationary equipment for processing. The optical data may be routed in a manner that allows for multi-fiber transmissions with one fiber dedicated to uphole transmissions and another dedicated to downhole transmissions. This is achieved through embodiments of the joint in spite of the separate optical channels involved sharing the same central axis to allow for data transfer between moving and stationary joint components.

Ospitalità e assistenza nella valle d’Aosta tardomedievale

Tra il XII e il XV secolo, l’esercizio della carità e dell’ospitalità in valle d’Aosta fu profondamente influenzato dalla posizione strategica della regione, nel cuore delle Alpi occidentali. Molti ospedali sorsero lungo i principali itinerari che attraversavano la valle, con lo scopo di offrire lectum, panem et ignem sia ai viaggiatori sia ai pauperes del luogo. A partire dal XIII secolo, una rinnovata sensibilità religiosa favorì la fondazione di nuovi ospizi, che furono in seguito sostenuti da numerose donazioni. Nel corso del XV secolo alcuni di questi enti conobbero una stagione di fioritura, mentre altri caddero in rovina, a seconda della loro ubicazione e del conseguente interesse che i poteri locali mostrarono nei loro confronti. L’articolo, basato sulla bibliografia locale e sull’analisi documentaria delle visite ecclesiastiche quattrocentesche, si propone di studiare i differenti processi legati all’esercizio dell’ospitalità nella diocesi di Aosta del tardo medioevo.
Continuously variable gearbox controlled as a function of load, for internal combustion engines

Continuously variable gearbox controlled as a function of load, for internal combustion engines, with the following principle of operation: lever: driving bevel gear Z = power arm, power-transmitting bevel gear Z1-Z2 abutment, driven bevel gear Z3 work arm; and the following conditions of operation: uniformity in the direction of rotation of the driving gear Z and the driven gear Z3, produced by laterally reversed arrangement of the driving gear Z with respect to the power-transmitting gear Z1-Z2. Ratio of the driving to the power-transmitting gear = 1 : 1; and with the following function: the transmission ratio, which can be selected by means of the construction of the gearbox, can be overridden spatially by the power-transmitting gear by virtue of its construction and, in terms of value, by virtue of its 1 : 1 ratio with respect to the driving gear and its mounting in two planes. Its radial rotation gives a ratio of 1 : 1 between E and A. Its axial rotation gives a ratio of Z : Z3 between E and A. The radial rotation can be influenced with rotation in the same direction since Z and Z3 rotate in the same direction, in a neutral manner via Z since it is in a 1 : 1 ratio with the power-transmitting gear, and in a variable manner by Z3 since the operative ratio is Z : Z3, taking into account that radial + axial = E. Since a relief of the load on Z3 means a reduction loading of Z3 and means an increase in power transmission, load-dependent control is obtained.

Co-Producing nature-based solutions and restored ecosystems: transdisciplinary nexus for urban sustainability

Cities and regions in Europe (EU) and Community of Latin American & Caribbean States (CELAC) face shared and urgent global-local challenges to integrate practical actions with strategies to achieve greater inclusion, biodiversity, climate change adaptation and environmental quality. Many cities share problems of landscape fragmentation caused by rapid growth, urban sprawl and economic restructuring. Poorly planned urbanisation leaves a legacy of cities lacking the green areas needed for ecosystems to provide the services essential to human life. Nature-Based Solutions (NBS) have the potential to help reverse these trends, and our combined EU-CELAC palette of socio-cultural, ecological and governance contexts represents a huge opportunity to move forward - faster, together. CONEXUS will co-produce, structure and promote access to the shared, contextualised knowledge needed to support cities and communities to co-create NBS, and to restore urban ecosystems, to help drive the required step-change in urban policy and practice in EU and CELAC countries. It adopts a planetary health perspective: healthy landscapes and ecosystems are vital to support human life, and humanity must restore, create and care for these landscapes and ecosystems in a reciprocal, ongoing and iterative relationship. This transdisciplinary project uses nature-based thinking (NBT) to bring together community, private, public and research partners to meet this challenge, and experiments with novel co-production methods to deliver NBS innovations in ‘Life-Lab’ pilots. The project’s core concept is to co-create context-appropriate NBS for ecosystems restoration and sustainable urbanisation in CELAC and EU cities, using a place-based approach (place-making, place-keeping and place-prescribing), solving problems together with citizens. The CONEXUS cities are: in CELAC - São Paulo, Bogotá, Santiago and Buenos Aires; and in the EU - Lisbon, Barcelona and Turin.
Experience effects on early language acquisition

To what extent does experience affect child language acquisition? Answering this is crucial for our understanding of human cognition, but current evidence is insufficient because causal links between experience and outcomes cannot be established with typical approaches. We will study how the speech infants hear affects their learning of the sounds and structures of their native language, as represented in the speech the same infants produce, using an innovative and ecological technique: Audio-recordings collected with a recorder worn by the child throughout a normal day. Fifteen large-scale corpora will be combined, totaling over 25,000h of audio, collected from over 1,400 infants, living in rural and urban sites in every peopled continent, and learning a wide variety of mostly unrelated languages. 
We will develop cutting-edge machine learning algorithms to automatically analyze these long, messy, and multilingual recordings. This will yield measures representing infants' experiences (the speech addressed to them, and the speech they overhear) as well as how advanced their own vocalizations are.
A subset of data come from Randomized Control Trials (RCTs) where treatment groups have received behavioral interventions aimed at increasing the quantity of speech infants are addressed. We aim to establish to what extent speech addressed to the infants and overheard speech  affect their development by triangulating analyses of variation across individuals, cultures, and treatment-control contrasts. 
In parallel, we will use a reverse-engineering approach to assess the theoretically-predicted effects of experience. A variety of learning mechanisms will be implemented in unsupervised learning systems which take as input audio like that heard by infants and produce as output ""vocalizations"". If a system yields the same experience-outcome curves found in the infants’ data, then those learning mechanisms plausibly resemble those used by infants.
New generation design methods for stainless steel structures

Current structural steel design codes are based on traditional limit state criteria, in which uncertainties are accounted for through partial coefficients when checking members and connections. However, within the frame of resilient and sustainable cities, it is necessary to choose optimised and sustainable construction materials such as stainless steel, as well as to accurately predict the behaviour and failure of structures by means of system-based design approaches. One method that fits these criteria is the Direct Design Method (DDM). Its applications span from the optimized design of new structures to the safety assessment of existing ones (for reutilization or evaluation after possible damage due to time-degradation or intentioned harm). The DDM directly evaluates the system’s strength from finite element analysis without requiring member and connection checks, thus leading to the design of safer, lighter, more economic and potentially faster designs. More importantly, failure modes of the structure are apparent, making it possible to consider the consequences of failure in design and achieve a consistent system reliability. However, there is a need for research to develop system resistance factors based on rigorous system reliability considerations for the DDM, specially for stainless steel. This research project will develop the bases for the system-based New Generation Design Methods for stainless steel structures, and this fellowship will provide a most adequate training in structural reliability for the development of the pioneering DDM for stainless steel structures and the corresponding design recommendations for their inclusion in the Next Generation European Standards. It will be an international and inter-sectorial effort to provide designers with powerful tools that can encourage innovation in design, in addition to enhancing the transfer of knowledge and strengthen research ties not only between Australia and the EU, but also with the industry.
A Framework for Rigorous Qualitative Research as a Component of Mixed Method Rapid-Cycle Evaluation

As federal, state, and local governments continue to test innovative approaches to health care delivery, the ability to produce timely and reliable evidence of what works and why it works is crucial. There is limited literature on methodological approaches to rapid-cycle qualitative research. The purpose of this article is to describe the advantages and limitations of a broadly applicable framework for in-depth qualitative analysis placed within a larger rapid-cycle, multisite, mixed-method evaluation. This evaluation included multiple cycles of primary qualitative data collection and quarterly and annual reporting. Several strategies allowed us to be adaptable while remaining rigorous; these included planning for multiple waves of qualitative coding, a hybrid inductive/deductive approach informed by a cross-program evaluation framework, and use of a large team with specific program expertise. Lessons from this evaluation can inform researchers and evaluators functioning in rapid assessment or rapid-cycle evaluation contexts.
Arrangements of Real Lines and Surfaces withAandDSingularities

Algebraic surfaces with many nondegenerate singularities can be constructed with the help of a class of bivariate polynomials with complex coefficients, associated with the affine Weyl group of the root system A2. Real variants of the polynomials are related to certain simple arrangements of real lines in the plane. In the study of its critical points, additional arrangements appear, which can be used to generate other singular surfaces. The existence of a high number of singularities in the associated surfaces is due to the fact that the polynomials based on the arrangements have many critical points with few critical values. Surfaces with singularities of types A2, A3n + 1, and D4 are constructed.
Optoelectronic medicine - nerve cell regulation with light

Bioelectronic medicine today is growing in leaps and bounds, with ambitious new technologies entering the clinic and already changing the lives of more than a million patients worldwide. Materials scientists are called to craft biomedical devices that are smaller, smarter, and less invasive. We propose to create implantable photovoltaic devices which can wirelessly stimulate the nervous system and enable a new type of minimally invasive optoelectronic medicine. To achieve this, we will use biocompatible organic semiconductors which can efficiently absorb light in the near infrared part of the spectrum, where biological tissues are transparent. By micropatterning stimulation pixels on ultrathin conformable substrates, we will create optoelectronic nerve cuff electrodes which will be orders-of-magnitude thinner than what is used clinically today. We will explore deeply the physics of this new type of electrolytic photovoltaic stimulator. The designs will be optimized to operate with safe light intensities delivered from outside of the body. Benchmarking the targeting of precise optoelectronic stimulation will be done in ex vivo and in vivo nerve models. Via control of spatial patterning and localized light actuation, we will develop unique understanding of highly specific and nuanced neural control. The unique aspect of precise neuromodulation wirelessly positions us to explore a number of fundamental questions in applied neuroscience. The project is driven by answering milestone scientific questions in device physics, photoelectrochemistry, and electrophysiology, however the project is simultaneously designed to tackle an important clinical application: vagus nerve stimulation (VNS). We will apply our findings to implement an implantable stimulator actuated transcutaneously by portable light sources. We will develop standard operating procedures for chronic optoelectronic VNS in rodent animal models, paving the way for future clinical trials.
(γ, 2n)-Reaction cross-section calculations of several even-even lanthanide nuclei using different level density models

There are several level density models that can be used to predict photo-neutron cross sections. Some of them are Constant Temperature + Fermi Gas Model (CTFGM), Back-Shifted Fermi Gas Model (BSFM), Generalized Superfluid Model (GSM), Hartree-Fock-Bogoliubov microscopic Model (HFBM). In this study, the theoretical photo-neutron cross sections produced by (γ, 2n) reactions for several eveneven lanthanide nuclei such as 140,142Ce, 142,144,146,148,150Nd, 144,148,150,152,154Sm, and 160Gd have been calculated on the different level density models as mentioned above by using TALYS 1.6 and EMPIRE 3.1 computer codes for incident photon energies up to 30 MeV. The obtained results have been compared with each other and available experimental data existing in the EXFOR database. Generally, at least one level density model cross-section calculations are in agreement with the experimental results for all reactions except 144Sm(γ, 2n)142Sm along the incident photon energy, TALYS 1.6 BSFM option for the level density model cross-section calculations can be chosen if the experimental data are not available or are improbable to be produced due to the experimental difficulty.

Howl: A Graphic Novel

Beat movement icon and visionary poet, Allen Ginsberg was one of the most influential poets of the twentieth century, and broke boundaries with his fearless, pyrotechnic verse. The apocalyptic Howl, originally written as a performance piece, became the subject of an obscenity trial when it was first published in 1956. It is considered to be one of the defining works of the Beat Generation, standing alongside that of Burroughs, Kerouac, and Corso. In it, Ginsberg attacks what he saw as the destructive forces of materialism and conformity in the United States at the time, and takes on issues of sex, drugs and race, simultaneously creating what would become the poetic anthem for US counterculture.
