Effects of mulberry (Morus alba L.) leaf polysaccharides on growth performance, diarrhea, blood parameters, and gut microbiota of early-weanling pigs

Abstract This study aimed to investigate the effects of mulberry leaf polysaccharides (MLPs) dietary supplements on the growth performance, diarrhea, blood biochemical parameters, and gut microbiota of early weanling piglets. A total of 150 Duroc–Landrace–Yorkshire crossbred weanling pigs (age: 28±2 d; body weight: 9.18±0.46 kg), were used in this study. Subjects were randomly divided into five treatment groups with six replicates in each group (n=5 animals per replicate). The dietary treatments were as follows: (1) control treatment (CT): basal diet (BD); (2) low-dose MLPs treatment (LT): 0.3 g/kg of MLPs+BD; (3) medium-dose MLPs treatment (MT): 0.6 g/kg of MLPs+BD; (4) high-dose MLPs treatment (HT): 0.9 g/kg of MLPs+BD; and (5) antibiotic treatment (AT): 0.15 g/kg chlortetracycline+BD. The fasting weight of each animal was measured and recorded in the morning at three time points (0, 10, and 21 d) in addition to food intake per pigpen. These data were then used to calculate the average daily gain (ADG), average daily feed intake (ADFI), and feed-to-gain (F/G) ratio of each subject. The diarrheal status of each piglet was examined and recorded twice daily (morning and afternoon). At the end of the experiment, blood samples were collected for biochemical analysis, and the contents from the ceacum, colon, and rectum were harvested to identify and quantify relevant gut microbiota. Our results showed that there was no significant differences in the ADG, ADFI, or F/G ratio among MLPs-treated groups (P>0.05), but the ADFI in LT, MT, and HT groups were all higher than those of both the CT and AT groups. Additionally, the F/G ratios in LT, MT, and HT groups were lower than those in the CT and AT groups. The LT, MT and HT groups showed a significant reduction in diarrheal incidence (P

Perspective of a real-time structural analysis tool assistant based on computer vision and human intuition

Many of today’s world challenges cover the domain of safety and civil society. In a world like this the need for doctors and diagnosticians of the complex building and infrastructures organisms is imperative and high-priority. The number of variables have exponentially risen and the expert point of view is becoming more and more out of reach. The gap that just some decades ago would have required some years of work experience can be closed nowadays only with the help of new technologies. Artificial Intelligence (AI) is displaying all its power for diagnosing pathologies and diseases in Human Medicine. Imagine to apply the same framework for buildings in order to have the real-time health of the living architectures. Computer science and data analytics are capable of extracting patterns from these data and of producing a knowledge graph of the external reality. The project integrates digital pattern perception with human percepetion models. This models are object of studies for cognitive neurosciences, and by monitoring neurofunctional activity it could be possible to grasp and interpret where a structural intuition resides when a human performs related simple tasks. This structural intuition, in form of a mathematical structure (algorithmic relations), would create an AI tool as structural assistant to see the forces alive by a Computer Vision device. It would represent the growth of a sixth sense for real time structural analyses, building risk perception and architectures performance investigation. The chosen research institutions to carry out in the project are: Structural Engineering Department (DISEG) of Politecnico di Torino, MIT Senseable City Lab and BioRobotic Institute of Scuola Superiore Sant’Anna di Pisa as Secondment. The intelligent structural assistant that represents the research goal will rise up the knowledge to the level of extensive prediction, opening humans to a knowledge based on imaging and exploring more than focus and execution.
Chess move tracking using overhead RGB webcam

This paper proposes a real-time application for detecting the moves of a chess game given a video stream from a camera positioned over the board. A custom implementation based on square identification of flood filled regions is used to detect colored chessboards in arbitrary backgrounds. The detected board is transformed to a normalized image, and occupancy of the chessboard is determined by classifying the pixels within each square of the 8×8 grid to check for a piece of a given color. A move is recognized when the current occupancy grid matches the chessboard that results from one of the possible moves from the previous occupancy grid. These moves and occupancy grids are supplied by a chess engine. A simple motion detection method is used to avoid processing frames in which a player is obscuring any part of the board. It uses hysteretic n-frame thresholding of difference images.
Recon-Nect - the green deal: research communication to communities

Societies underinvest in research either because it is a long term process and the results are not easily seen, either because of the complexity of this enterprise. This along with other difficulties weighs on the researchers who lack the will or power to get more engaged in the public life which further affects the trust in science and research. Breaking the vicious circle is a slow process and should be based on a genuine partnership between the researchers, as promoters of new findings about the world's true nature, the society as a whole, with its most stringent but also subtles needs, and the communication facilitators as a way to surface the unexpressed realities. The partnership, ReCoNnect-ing these different views, should be effective in educating the present citizens, but also shaping the teaching approaches for the members of the future society.

This consortium is made up from 6 research institutes, 4 universities, 1 public body, and 2 civil community associations experienced in promoting science and STEM education, which supported the development of one of the largest educational networks in the country in connection also with EU programmes. Together, we propose a highly innovative concept of European Researchers' Night rooted in a long experience with the programme and well supported by the partner's institutions, which we will implement in a nationwide campaign comprising 21 events in representative urban areas. Three UNESCO/aspiring geoparks will organize events in rural areas, while others will be encouraged to participate remotely.
Focusing the conversation, we tackle a topic of great interest for the European Union countries: The European Green Deal. We propose to map the current perceptions and expectations of the population on this programme by a large number of encounters with the public, and to better communicate on the endeavors and successes that Romanian researchers have in contributing to the very ambitious goals of the EU programme.

Sustainable oceans : our collective responsibility, our common interest. building on real-life knowledge  knowledge systems for developing interactive and mutual learning media

The project will develop well-targeted and sound communication material that raises awareness on our (individual and collective) responsibility and interest in ensuring the sustainability of the ocean and of its ecosystems. The project builds on critical assessments of: (1) existing communication strategies, material and governance that focuses on the ocean; (2) the values, perceptions and understanding of the state, functioning and role of the ocean by different types of stakeholders and of the wider public; (3) the (scientific) knowledge that exist on the ocean-human relationship, in particular in terms of ecosystem services that can be delivered by ocean ecosystems and support (future) development opportunities and blue growth and of pressures that are imposed on the oceans. These critical assessments will help identifying priority target groups with key responsibilities and interests in the state of our oceans - today and in the future. 

Within a participatory process involving the stakeholders of the knowledge creation &  sharing system from four European marine regions  (Baltic Sea, Mediterranean Sea, Northern Sea and Atlantic _ including in its transatlantic dimension), and building on the scientific knowledge-base established and on project-dedicated IT strucure/platform, the project will then develop and test under real conditions innovative communication tools. Key principles guiding this development will be interactivity, mutual learning, creativity and entertainment. Finally, specific activities will be performed for ensuring proposed communication tools are made accessible and available to their future users in Europe but also elswhere.
Turbulent separation upstream of a forward-facing step

Abstract The turbulent flow over a forward-facing step is studied using two-dimensional time-resolved particle image velocimetry. The structure and behaviour of the separation region in front of the step is investigated using conditional averages based on the area of reverse flow present. The relation between the position of the upstream separation and the two-dimensional shape of the separation region is presented. It is shown that when of ‘closed’ form, the separation region can become unstable resulting in the ejection of fluid over the corner of the step. The separation region is shown to grow simultaneously in both the wall-normal and streamwise directions, to a point where the maximum extent of the upstream position of separation is limited by the accompanying transfer of mass over the step corner. The conditional averages are traced backwards in time to identify the average behaviour of the boundary-layer displacement thickness leading up to such events. It is shown that these ejections are preceded by the convection of low-velocity regions from upstream, resulting in a three-dimensional interaction within the separation region. The size of the low-velocity regions, and the time scale at which the separation region fluctuates, is shown to be consistent with the large boundary layer structures observed in the literature. Instances of a highly suppressed separation region are accompanied by a steady increase in velocity in the upstream boundary layer.
Numerical crack simulation and identification techniques

Europe’s built cultural heritage is very diverse, ranging from large and impressive Roman amphitheaters to small and modest dwellings of European cities’ historic quarters. Despite the immense differences in dimensions, architecture and use, these structures share the construction technique: brick or stone masonry. 

Built cultural heritage is a key factor for Europe’s social cohesion, economic growth and sustainable development. However, heritage structures in a large part of Europe are under the threat of earthquakes. While we can do nothing to prevent earthquakes, we can prepare predictive tools for assessing the seismic safety of masonry structures. This proposal aims to develop numerical CRACK simulation and Identification Techniques (CRACK-IT) for stone masonry structures that can be used in professional practice. To achieve this, we will first develop a crack detection tool that will allow the automatic and objective crack documentation of damaged masonry structures, by combining information from experiments with image processing and machine learning aproaches. This tool aims to be applicable in post-earthquake surveys for automated crack detection in masonry structures. Second, we will develop and validate a structural analysis tool that permits the efficient and accurate simulation of stone masonry structures and the robust estimation of their seismic response. For this, we will focus on the simulation of irregular stone masonry, because despite being a common used typology in historic structures, there is still no structural analysis approach tailored to it. The core for the development of these two numerical tools will be the execution of an experimental campaign including the shear-compression tests of irregular stone masonry walls. This campaign, apart from allowing the validation of the numerical tools, will give the first experimental dataset on the effect of the size of masonry walls to their in-plane structural response.

Vertical-type InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes with high efficiency reflector ITO/APC alloy on p-GaN

We demostrate the efficient p-type reflector for high performance vertical InGaN/GaN light emitting diodes (LEDs) with 1 × 1mm2 chip size. The reflector consists of Indium-Tin-Oxide (ITO) and Ag-Pd-Cu (APC) alloy. The ITO was inserted between p-GaN layer and APC alloy using RF magnetron sputtering to prevent inter-diffusion of APC into GaN layer. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) result shows that ITO plays an impotant role as a diffusion barrier to APC alloy. In addition, the contact resistivity of ITO to p-GaN layer was measured to be 1.32 × 10-3 Ωcm2 at annealing temperature of 600 °C for 1 minute. APC alloy was adpoted to acheive a higher reflectance for improvement of a light extraction efficiency. The APC alloy reflector appeared to have a higher reflectivity compared to conventional Ni/Ag film reflector. The verical LEDs with ITO/APC alloy reflectors showed the light-output power of 295 mW at an injection current of 350 mA, which is 15% higher than that with Ni/Ag reflectors. The output power enhancement is attributed to the increase of light extraction efficiency due to high reflectivity of APC alloy (© 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
