Greentribos

The world is warming and the weather is becoming increasingly unstable and extreme, and whether we like it or not, the overwhelming scientific consensus is that mankind’s use of fossil fuels is a key component in this climate change. Friction, wear and lubrication are major players in the consumption of energy, and so reducing friction and wear and using green lubrication is the most direct route to reducing energy consumption and pollution and so contributing to a better environment for us all. GreenTRIBOS takes up this very important challenge by developing innovative, but sustainable and green, technologies to decrease both friction and wear and improve lubrication. The 12 early-stage researchers (ESRs) will be working in three science-based work packages to develop integrative green concepts, their functional mechanisms, and lifecycle analyses to verify the sustainability, as well as quantifying the tribological performance to reduce energy consumption, resource depletion and polluting emissions. In the overarching integrative work package, the ESRs will assimilate these results into a coherent set of generic, green-tribology concepts and design rules – that will be made freely available to all – with a measurable impact on sustainability over the whole lifecycle of the system. All 12 ESRs will use complementary techniques, tools, models and approaches supported by their supervisors, research groups and non-academic mentors throughout their individual PhD-specific ESR project plans. By training the ESRs in scientific, technical and transferrable skills, they will become the next generation of high-potential scientists and engineers to instigate the step change that is required for a sustainable engineering future to serve the needs of a sustainable 21st century Europe.
Double Electron–Electron Resonance Between Trapped Electron and Hole in a Semiconductor

We demonstrate the spin interactions between dispersedly trapped electrons and holes in a semiconductor using the double electron–electron resonance (DEER) method of the pulsed electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) techniques. An aluminum-doped titanium dioxide crystal is adopted as a spin system, in which optically generated electrons and holes are trapped, to reveal EPR signals that appear close to each other at a selected crystal orientation under an external magnetic field. We used the four-pulse DEER method by applying two microwave frequencies to a microwave cavity for pumping electrons and probing holes at the optimum temperature of 32 K. The dipolar modulation in the probed signal by pumping interacting spins was successfully detected. The observed non-oscillating decay shape indicates that the detected interaction is caused by widely distributed trapped electron and hole spins over long distances. We were able to extract a spin-pair distribution function by the first derivative of a background-corrected curve, referring to a previously reported method.
Co-evolution of coastal human activities & Med natural systems for sustainable tourism & Blue Growth in the Mediterranean.

Complex modeling system for optimization of compounding process in gasoline pool to produce high-octane finished gasoline fuel

Abstract The process of gasoline compounding is a difficult multistage industrial technology. Octane number is a numerical equivalent of gasoline detonation resistance, the main operational characteristic of trade gasoline. Prediction of octane numbers of individual hydrocarbons was performed with calculations of dissociation energy of their molecules. In this paper, a new approach is proposed for optimization and prediction of the unit operation modes for processing of multicomponent hydrocarbon mixtures, based on a complex mathematical model that considers reactivities of hydrocarbons of wide gasoline fraction in the reforming, isomerization, and compounding processes. The accuracy of calculations is confirmed with huge massive of experimental data obtained from catalytic reforming, catalytic cracking (FCC), isomerization and alkylation units.

MYCNOSfunctions as an antisense RNA regulatingMYCN

Amplification or overexpression of neuronal MYC (MYCN) is associated with poor prognosis of human neuroblastoma. Three isoforms of the MYCN protein have been described as well as a protein encoded by an antisense transcript (MYCNOS) that originates from the opposite strand at the MYCN locus. Recent findings suggest that some antisense long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) can play a role in epigenetically regulating gene expression. Here we report that MYCNOS transcripts function as a modulator of the MYCN locus, affecting MYCN promoter usage and recruiting various proteins, including the Ras GTPase-activating protein-binding protein G3BP1, to the upstream MYCN promoter. Overexpression of MYCNOS results in a reduction of upstream MYCN promoter usage and increased MYCN expression, suggesting that the protein-coding MYCNOS also functions as a regulator of MYCN ultimately controlling MYCN transcriptional variants. The observations presented here demonstrate that protein-coding transcripts can regulate gene transcription and can tether regulatory proteins to target loci.

Situational analysis of nursing education and work force in India

Nursing care has been mentioned in the Indian culture from the times of the Vedas. However, according to World Health Organization, the nursing workforce in India is still insufficient to meet the needs of the country. The purpose of this article is to examine the status of nursing education and the nursing workforce in India and the challenges faced by the profession. Data supporting the statements made in the article were obtained from the Nursing Council of India, the Ministry of Health and Family Welfare, the Government of India Web sites, printed journals and communication with experts in the field. In India, there is a need to train approximately a million nurses to meet the current shortfall of health workers in the country. The nursing "brain drain" suggests that it may be one of the factors responsible for this shortfall. Further, nursing education faces challenges, such as streamlining nursing education, enriching the curriculum, strengthening faculty development and increasing the use of innovative teaching and learning techniques.
New Cross-border Connections for the Unitary and Sustainable Mobility of People

This project aims to create a Joint Action Plan to identify the bottlenecks of maritime passenger interconnections in the cooperation area, particularly between the continental ports and the two islands of Sardinia and Corsica. The Action Plan will identify the infrastructure needed to improve passenger transport connections, also considering the existing freight traffic of secondary and tertiary port nodes. It will also schedule cross-border actions and measures based on joint feasibility studies of passenger mobility priorities. NECTEMUS will thus produce a useful investment decision-making tool—not just for infrastructure—to be used in the programme area in conjunction with the actions already in progress and the results obtained with previous planning. The project systematises and innovates the knowledge already available; it provides a Dashboard of potential actions and priorities identified by the Joint Action Plan that exemplifies the feasibility of the proposals and their impact on cross-border passenger mobility. This Transferability Dashboard will assist institutions and operators involved in the passenger transport chain, particularly port nodes, and reclassify the project's data and analyses. NECTEMUS is the twin project of CIRCUMVECTIO, proposed by Regione Liguria and developed for the freight segment; it builds on its analyses and combines it with the passenger segment, as both share maritime transport between the Continent and the islands. It also connects with the GEECCTT-iles governance tools proposed by the OTC (Corsica Transport Office).
Research models in infection, cancer and regeneration: replacement and translation

REMODEL combines the existing local expertise in bioengineering, cancer and infectious diseases with partners at the frontline in developing organoid systems, manipulating them to fit specific purposes and validating their use as models, in order to build capacity to work with innovative model systems that can replace animal experiments and increase translational relevance. In doing so, REMODEL addresses a key issue in today’s biomedical research: how non-animal model systems can be developed to meet the needs for translationally relevant research in the era of precision and personalized medicine, whilst at the same time accounting for societal pressure to replace animal experiments. REMODEL will capacitate the coordinating institution, IBMC-i3S, through the establishment of organoid advanced in vitro models and their customization for the main areas of research (infection, cancer and tissue regeneration). REMODEL will contribute to raising the research profile of the institution and scientific skills of its staff developed through training schools and short-term scientific training periods as well as transferable skills training and mentoring of Early Stage researchers, but also through staff participation in international conferences presenting work within the REMODEL themes / framework. Organoids as experimental models are at the frontline of methodological development in biomedicine, and demonstrating competence in working with such models will place i3S in the spotlight in an international research context, and make the institution an attractive partner for future collaborations beyond the REMODEL network. On the European level, REMODEL represents an important initiative to bring together key partners in the development of innovative models to overcome the present fragmentation of European organoid research and move towards applications in animal replacement.
Ultra-high temperature ceramics developments for hypersonic applications

Ultra-High Temperature Ceramics are good candidates to fulfil the harsh requirements of hypersonic applications. For more than a decade, the Materials and Structures Department (DMAS) of ONERA has been actively involved in several programmes to develop such materials for different applications (hypersonic flights, propulsion systems...). In our laboratories, monolithic and composite materials have been investigated as well as several processing methods. In this paper, we present for example the ZrB2-SiC and HfB2-SiC compositions with TaSi2 or Y2O3 additions which have been especially studied in the European Projects ATLLAS and ATLLAS II. Assessments of several prototypes in realistic environment are also described. Furthermore, based on these material developments, a specific study on the oxidation behaviour of such monoliths from 1200 °C to 2400 °C with a dedicated test bench using a 2 kW CO2 laser has been carried out (oxidation under air and water vapour atmospheres). Recently, some work on the manufacturing of Ultra-High Temperature Ceramic Matrix Composites has been initiated using slurry infiltration and pyrolysis. The behaviour and properties of these materials are encouraging.

Children and social robots: an integrative framework

Robots used to be made for labor; now, they are increasingly also made for relationships. Social robots can learn from us, teach us, play with us, and assist us. With the market for social robots expected to grow substantially in the next 20 years, social robots are likely to become a life-changing technology similar to personal computers or smart phones. Still, we still know little about one of the most intriguing, relevant, and timely issues in this process – children’s interaction with social robots. Children are not only increasingly recognized and targeted as early adopters of new technologies; they may also be more susceptible to potential effects of interacting with robots than are adults.
As research on child-robot interaction (CRI) is still a fragmented field, the main aim of the proposed project is to develop an integrative framework of CRI. This framework synthesizes theories and concepts from communication research, human-robot-interaction, as well as developmental and social psychology in an entirely new way. It will focus (1) on the antecedents of children’s acceptance of social robots; (2) the con-sequences of CRI for children’s learning of social skills from social robots and their relationship formation with them; and (3) the processes that explain why such effects emerge. 
The project combines survey and experimental research, thereby bringing an unprecedented, but much needed multi-methodological approach to the field of CRI. Focusing on 8-9 year-old children, the project will also provide two crucial methodological innovations: (a) the creation an inventory of standardized measures for CRI and (b) new procedures and research designs to study long-term CRI. In its pioneering focus on a disruptive new technology, its theoretically unifying character, and its original methodological contributions, the project will not only define the field of CRI, but will also present a completely new agenda for it.

Feasibility study for clinical validation of ntprocnp as a novel biomarker for pregnancy complications

In Europe and US about 12 million women are pregnant every year. 2 % to 8 % are affected by pre-eclampsia and intra uterine growth restriction. And more dramatically worldwide more than 50,000 mothers and babies are dying yearly due to undetected pre-eclampsia. Accuracy and prognostic performance of the current “gold standard” diagnosis, relying on blood pressure and urinary protein measurement, are relatively poor. Thus a reliable test for the common causes of fetal and maternal morbidity is needed. BDF previously developed an improved research-use-only test system for measuring NTproCNP for prediction of severe events in pregnancy very early before month 16. This marker is superior to all other solutions on the market, and to coming up solutions. However, before entering of NTproCNP measurement into medical routine, the marker has to be validated in a large prospective clinical study and NTproCNP measurement has to be made available in an automated and most robust way to guarantee worldwide application and distribution.
Having this diagnostic tool in hand assuming 20,000 of severe cases in western countries could be prevented, saving lives and improving quality of life for women and families. Moreover, health care costs up to 1.3 billion Euro could be saved. The absolute market for the diagnostic tool is estimated to be nearly 290 million €, promising as well high economic prospects and growth for BDF GmbH. 
In phase 1 of the project, information on potential clinical market in gynaecology as well as regulatory requirements in this segment will be collected and analysed, the clinical trial will be planned, and the elaborated business plan will be prepared.
Intensified by design® for the intensification of processes involving solids handling

IbD® will create a holistic platform for facilitating process intensification in processes in which solids are an intrinsic part, the cornerstone of which will be an intensified-by-design® (IbD). The IbD approach is hinged on the use of robust data about a process to ‘redesign’, modify, adapt and alter that process in a continuous, intensified system, and will be the new paradigm in the intensification of processes based on statistical, analytical and risk management methodologies in the design, development and processing of high quality safe and tailored chemicals, pharmaceuticals, minerals, ceramics, etc. under intensified processes. 


The IbD Project will deliver the EU process industry with an affordable and comprehensive devices-and-processes design-platform endeavoured to facilitate process intensification (PI), which specially targets -but is not limited to- solid materials processing. Five PI industry case studies will be implemented in mining, ceramics, pharmaceutical, non-ferrous metals and chemical processes using the IbD approach and to validate the IbD methodologies, tools, PI modules, control and fouling remediation strategies and the ICT Platform itself for the industrial implementation of PI in processes involving solids. The Platform includes design modules for the commonest intensified reactors-Rotating fluidized beds, micro-structured reactor and spinning disk, among others, as well as a generic Module Builder -equipped with a set of both proprietary and third-parties design tools- for designs carried out on the basis of radically novel ideas. The IbD Platform output is basically a data set that comprises the intensified reactor design -ready to be built or assembled-, an optimised whole process design including the upstream/downstream intensified unit operations and their solids handling capability, as well as cleaning methods, etc. and the expected economic and environmental quantitative impacts.

Longitudinal Associations of Metabolic Syndrome Severity Between Childhood and Young Adulthood: The Bogalusa Heart Study

Childhood metabolic syndrome (MetS) is associated with insulin resistance and increased risk for later development of type 2 diabetes (T2DM) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). In using MetS severity z-scores, our objective was to assess longitudinal associations in MetS severity, fasting insulin levels as a sign of insulin resistance and risk for T2DM, and uric acid levels as a biomarker of oxidative stress leading to CVD.We used linear regression to analyze longitudinal data from 285 white and black participants from the Bogalusa Heart Study evaluated at baseline at ages 5-19 and as young adults after a mean of 12.0 years follow-up. We assessed correlations between childhood MetS severity and young-adult MetS severity, fasting insulin, and uric acid levels, both overall and by sex- and racial subgroups.Overall, childhood MetS z-scores were positively associated with young-adult MetS z-scores (r = 0.52), insulin (r = 0.34), and uric acid (r = 0.28) (all P < 0.001). These associations were consistent across all sex- and racial subgroups, except for young adult uric acid in white males in which childhood MetS-z was not associated (r = 0.15, P = 0.243). There was a strong cross-sectional association of young-adult MetS z-scores with insulin (r = 0.70) and uric acid (r = 0.57) (both P < 0.001), which was consistent for all sex- and racial subgroups.These positive longitudinal correlations between childhood MetS z-scores and markers of later insulin resistance and oxidative stress suggest long-term durability of risk for CVD and T2DM. This suggests potential for MetS severity to serve as an indicator to monitor for future risk of T2DM and CVD.
