Verbesserung der Produktionskapazitäten zur Steigerung der Wettbewerbsfähigkeit von RYSVOLF BULGARIA AD und Steigerung des Exportpotenzials

RYSVOLF Bulgaria AD ist ein führendes Unternehmen, das sich auf umfassende Datenverarbeitung, einschließlich webbasiertes digitales Archiv, spezialisiert hat, das die Datenverarbeitung und -verwaltung ermöglicht. Ziel des Unternehmens ist es, sein Leistungsspektrum zu entwickeln und die Produktionsprozesse so zu verbessern, dass es den immer vielfältigen Such- und Bedürfnissen des nationalen und internationalen Marktes gerecht wird. Es ist die Optimierung von Arbeitsprozessen und der Ausbau der technologischen Fähigkeiten, die eine wesentliche Rolle bei der Umsetzung der Entwicklungspläne des Unternehmens spielen. Derzeit verfügt das Unternehmen nicht über die notwendigen Hardware-Ausrüstungen, um die Arbeitsprozesse im Unternehmen durchzuführen, stehen nicht zur Verfügung und greifen auf die Einstellung von IT-Infrastrukturen in Co-Location-Zentren zurück. Es gibt Voraussetzungen für Verzögerungen, mangelnde Unterstützung rund um die Uhr, Risiken bei häufigen Unfällen usw. Auf der anderen Seite ist angesichts der Besonderheiten der vom Unternehmen angebotenen Dienstleistungen und der modernen Entwicklungstrends in diesem Sektor der Mangel an Sicherheit und Datenschutz, den das Unternehmen nicht in vollem Umfang anbieten kann, eine erhebliche Einschränkung der Entwicklung von RISWOLF Bulgaria AD und der Bereitstellung eines auf höchsten internationalen Standards beruhenden Qualitätsservices. Diese negativen Faktoren schränken die Chancen für die Marktentwicklung und das Wachstum des Unternehmens ein, was es notwendig macht, neue Hightech-Geräte einzuführen, die diesem Projekt unterliegen. Es ist vorgesehen, eine Investition in spezialisierte Software zu tätigen – ein System zum Schutz der Elektronik (ZEP) und des Systems für die Verwaltung, Speicherung und Verarbeitung digitaler Objekte und Inhalte, einschließlich vernetzter Hardwarekomponenten, das die notwendige technische Kapazität für die Implementierung der Dienste und die Steigerung der Produktivität bietet. Das Projekt fällt unter die Kategorie „Erweiterung der Kapazität einer bestehenden Betriebsstätte“.
Ultrasound diagnostic apparatus and signal processing method thereof

The presently disclosed subject matter is intended to correctly determine an ambient sound velocity at each level of pixels or line images constituting an ultrasound image, and construct a high-precision ultrasound image. A region-of-interest setting unit sets a region of interest on an ultrasound image. A transmission focus control unit gives a transmission focus instruction, so that a transmitting circuit performs transmission focusing on the region of interest. A set sound velocity specification unit specifies a set sound velocity used to perform reception focusing on RF data. A focus index calculation unit performs reception focusing on the RF data for each of a plurality of set sound velocities to calculate the focus index of the RF data. An ambient sound velocity determination unit determines the ambient sound velocity of the region of interest on the basis of the focus index for each of the plurality of set sound velocities. In other words, the local sound velocity of the region of interest is determined by optimising the ultrasonic image focusing.
Contextual Factors in Guessing Word Meaning from Context in a Foreign Language

Abstract Guessing word meaning from context is one of the most favored vocabulary learning strategies among second language learners ( Paribakht & Wesche, 1999 ). While inferring the meaning of an unfamiliar word, language learners use different types of clues including contextual ones ( Paribakht & Wesche, 1999 ). The purpose of this study is to investigate whether Turkish EFL learners use contextual clues in guessing process or not. A vocabulary guessing test was administered to the subjects who were the students attending prep classes at the School of Foreign Languages of Uludag University. The results showed that unknown words in a rich context were guessed more successfully than unknown words presented in a poor context.
Effect of the nature of the additives of metal cations (Sr, Ba, and La) on the properties of Co-Mo hydrodesulfurization catalysts

The effect of the nature of the support modified with the ions of alkaline earth and rare earth elements (Sr, Ba, and La) on the properties of Co-Mo catalysts for the hydrodesulfurization of dibenzothiophene (DBT), 4-methyldibenzothiophene (4-MDBT), and 4,6-dimethyldibenzothiophene (4,6-DMDBT) was studied using a set of physicochemical and catalytic techniques. It was found that the introduction of modifying additives decreased the surface concentration of Lewis acid sites (LASs) and increased the concentration of basic sites (BSs) in aluminum-containing supports; these changes were more significant upon modification with lanthanum and strontium. The modification affected the distribution and degree of dispersion of Co-Mo-S sulfide packets. It was found that the rate constants of DBT and 4-MDBT conversion increased with decreasing total surface concentration of both LASs and BSs on the support. The highest rate constant of 4,6-DMDBT conversion was reached at an optimum concentration of weak Lewis sites on Co-Mo catalysts, whose support was modified with strontium or barium.
SMALL-SCALE PLANT FOR PRODUCTION OF LIQUIFIED NATURAL GAS

Plant (30) for the liquefaction of natural gas (NG), characterized in that gas comes from a low pressure reservoir, in particular, a pipeline ( 1 ) or a stranded well, and such gas (1) is joined to a low pressure recycle stream in a methane expansion cycle and it is compressed fairly by a methane compressor (C) that is integrated with a cooling system that pre-cools the unique combined stream of methane (Ia) and refrigerant (18a).
Hierarchical Adaptive Means (HAM) clustering for hardware-efficient, unsupervised and real-time spike sorting

This work presents a novel unsupervised algorithm for real-time adaptive clustering of neural spike data (spike sorting). The proposed Hierarchical Adaptive Means (HAM) clustering method combines centroid-based clustering with hierarchical cluster connectivity to classify incoming spikes using groups of clusters. It is described how the proposed method can adaptively track the incoming spike data without requiring any past history, iteration or training and autonomously determines the number of spike classes. Its performance (classification accuracy) has been tested using multiple datasets (both simulated and recorded) achieving a near-identical accuracy compared to k-means (using 10-iterations and provided with the number of spike classes). Also, its robustness in applying to different feature extraction methods has been demonstrated by achieving classification accuracies above 80% across multiple datasets. Last but crucially, its low complexity, that has been quantified through both memory and computation requirements makes this method hugely attractive for future hardware implementation.
Bayesian mixture of parametric and nonparametric density estimation: A Misspecification Problem

In this paper we study the effect of model misspecifications for probabilitydensity function estimation. We use a mixture of a parametric and nonparametricdensity estimation. The former can be modeled by any suitable parametricprobability density function, including mixture of parametric models. The latteris given by the known B-spline estimation. The procedure also deals withthe situation when a highly structured data are collected so that it is difficultto propose a parametric model with a large number of mixture components.Then a nonparametric part would help to postulate an appropriate model. Inaddition, in order to reduce the computational cost of getting a nonparametricdensity for high dimensional data a parametric mixture of densities could beused as the starting point for modeling such dataset. Our procedure is computedby using EM-type algorithm for a non-Bayesian approach and MCMCalgorithm under a Bayesian point of view. Simulations and real data analysisshow that our proposed procedure have performed quite well even for nonstructured datasets.
A WINDOW FRAME ASSEMBLY

A window frame assembly 10 comprising a fibre cement sub-frame 12 which can be secured within a window opening in a wall, an aluminium window frame 18 which can be mounted to the sub-frame; and a number of retaining clips for releasably mounting the window frame to the sub-frame. Being of fibre-cement, the sub-frame is suitable for bonding to a layer of plaster. Exposed inner and outer sides of the sub-frame can be plastered when the external sides of the wall are plastered. Thereafter, at an appropriate time, the window frame, with glazing installed, can be mounted to the sub-frame.
Spatial Planning in Coastal Zones

Coastal areas, especially those in the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Sea region, face a severe pressure for development. Within the next few years, tourism, transport, aquaculture and energy use will increase in these regions. Particularly in enclosed seas or coastal zones close to big urban agglomerations, conflicts with environmental protection occur as the environment is more vulnerable than on the open sea or on less densely populated coasts. An Integrated Coastal Zone Management (ICZM) can help to provide instruments to protect the environmental quality without endangering economic development. The PlanCoast project intends to promote the implementation of ICZM measures in coastal zones of the Baltic, Adriatic and Black Sea by enhancing the role of spatial planning within coastal zone management. In pilot projects the land as well as the seaside will be considered when developing and implementing new fields of spatial planning in maritime areas (sea-use planning) throughout the EU's coastal zones in a coherent manner while complying to international standards and facilitating international exchange and comparison of information. At the same time local and regional needs should be reflected.
SWIVEL COUPLER

The invention provides a swivel coupler (10), for connecting a pool cleaner operatively to a flexible hose. The coupler (10) includes two open ended tubular members (16, 18) arranged in end-to-end axially aligned relationship. A collar member (24) retains the tubular members (16, 18) and connects the tubular members together in a manner which permits relative rotation of the tubular members about an axis (20) and inhibits excessive relative axial displacement. A plurality of ball bearing elements (42) is arranged between opposed faces of the tubular members (16, 18).
Point-Of-Care device based on kets for diagnosis of food allergies

Food allergy is an immune-based disease that has become an important public health problem that affects children and adults and may be increasing in prevalence.In the US, food allergy affects 5% of children under the age of 5 years and 4% of teens and adults, and its prevalence appears to be on the increase. Globally, it is estimated that over 6% of the population, around 200 to 250 million people, suffer from some food allergies, affecting more than 17 million people only in Europe.

The main objective of this proposal is translating an optical diagnostic technology already proven in which the novel AllerScreening platform is based on, to the clinical routine, addressing a priority healthcare unmet need from the laboratory to the clinic. The unique features of AllerScreening will allow clinicians to early detect main food allergies (at least the 90% of European food allergies) through a simple test using a drop of sera, reducing the cost and technical requirements of the current clinical practice. This new and innovative cost-effective sensing system for the in vitro component diagnosis of food allergies will be feasible thanks to the multiplexed disposable BioKits and the optical Pont-of-Care (PoC) reader in which the novel AllerScreening platform is based on, allowing the adoption of a novel PoC diagnostic device specific for food allergies.
Obstruction detection sensor for surveillance on aircraft

Mid-air, near mid-air, and-on ground collisions are one of the most important cause of accident in general aviation. For this reason, engineering an affordable sensor helping pilots in preventing it could be very important in order to prevent accidents. Present sensors, indeed, are very expensive and cannot be affordable for small aircraft and helicopters.
The idea of ODESSA (Obstruction DEtection Sensor for Surveillance on Aircraft) is to provide a small, light, and low-cost sensor (comparing it to the present ones) that could be installed on both airplanes and helicopters, but on unmanned aerial vehicles too. This is possible adopting the modular avionics concepts of on-board system independency, reducing maintenance efforts, granting different platform applicability.
Using millimetric radar, learning techniques from automotive worlds, gives different advantages. One is that automotive technologies are well tested and reliable. These solutions are small, light and cheap too.
Inheriting characteristics from automotive technologies, ODESSA allows to detect small object, increasing on-ground safety during handling and taxing. An issue of these mission phases is the possibility of collision not only with aircraft (that could be minimized by using new generation ADS-B systems), but with other kinds of object (as pushbacks, cars, signals, personnel, birds…) not well detectable from aircraft unless mounting the terrestrial version of ADS-B (that requests the adaptation of the whole airport infrastructure).
ODESSA system makes possible that safety in landing and ground procedures is independent from different component of the airport system, granting danger acknowledgment in different sceneries.
Oxidovanadium(V) complexes with chiral tridentate Schiff bases derived from R(−)-phenylglycinol: Synthesis, spectroscopic characterization and catalytic activity in the oxidation of sulfides and styrene

Abstract A series of vanadium(V) complexes with chiral tridentate Schiff base ligands, obtained by the single condensation of R(−)-phenylglycinol with salicylaldehyde and its derivatives, were prepared. The complexes were characterized by elemental analysis and by their ESI-MS, IR, CD, UV–Vis, 1D (1H, 51V) and 2D (COSY, gHSQC) NMR spectra. The vanadium(V) complexes have the ability to catalyze the oxidation of sulfides [PhSR (R = Me, Bz)] in excellent yields and enantiomeric excesses (over 90%), utilizing aqueous 30% H2O2 or cumene hydroperoxide (CHP) as the oxidant. These complexes are also catalytically active in the oxidation of styrene, using aqueous 30% H2O2 or tert-butyl hydroperoxide (TBHP) as the oxidant, to styrene oxide, benzaldehyde, benzoic acid, phenylacetaldehyde and 1-phenylethane-1,2-diol.
Voltage control method and an electric motor control system

A method for controlling regenerative energy in a system having an motor (10) and a power converter (14) for converting regenerative energy from the motor (10) for supply as electrical current to a receiving apparatus (12) includes estimating a resistance to electrical current flow between the electrical power converter (14) and the receiving apparatus (12) and measuring a first voltage at the receiving apparatus. The method further comprises controlling a regenerative current from the power converter (14) to the receiving apparatus (12) in view of the resistance and the first voltage to limit a second voltage at the power converter.
Multidisciplinary approach and solutions to development of intermodal transport in region - PLUS

As a continuation of the MultiAPPRO project, MultiAPPRO Plus will promote freight transport logistics, strive to make intermodal transportation more competitive and put maritime freight transport on equal footing with other transport modes, as well as continue the creation of frameworks that incentivise investments for the modernization of ports in the Adriatic-Ionian region and continue reviewing the progress made in the development of sustainable mobility as previously proposed by the European Commission. The project’s main goal is to promote the project outcomes and results at the National, European and Macro-regional level, as well as promoting the relevance and use of the application developed within the project’s pilot activity. The project will continue developing and promoting intermodal transport in the Adriatic-Ionian region amidst new challenges. During the past two years, a global health crisis has arisen, in the form of the COVID-19 pandemic, causing issues in the transport and logistic sector with huge consequences. Previously, within the MultiAPPRO project, the Intermodal Transport Network, an expert body at the international level with the purpose of supporting the development of environmentally friendly and sustainable intermodal transport in the region, has been established. Now, with the COVID-19 crisis as the main obstacle, partners will once again collaborate with the ITN to find solutions and overcome the obstacles that have been caused by COVID-

19. The membership of ITN will be expanded, keeping previously included members and including new ones, along with the signing of a new MoU. The experts in the field will be assembled to discuss how to overcome the consequences of the crisis and a pilot activity focusing on the development of an Android and/or iOS mobile application will be performed. This application will allow status checks on documents, entering data and certification of documents. The usage of the application (mostly by port operators and stakeholders) will enable greater flexibility in operations, avoid unnecessary physical contact in offices, and in addition, will represent another step towards complete elimination of paper documentation in the offices of the testing partner.
The project will promote the outcomes previously achieved within the MultiAPPRO project, which include the ITN network, SSS and MoS promotion action plan, Promotion network and Transport performance strategy. These outputs will be presented to stakeholders at European, National and Macro-regional level in the field of transport and logistics with the aim of engaging them in high-level debate over the role of the Adriatic-Ionian transport and logistics connections, and how the COVID-19 pandemic changed the relationship between key actors and the economic factors in the field of transport and logistics.
Layer-by-layer structured polysaccharides film-coated cellulose nanofibrous mats for cell culture

Abstract For the first time, a novel fibrous polysaccharide scaffold for cell culture was fabricated by the combination of electrospinning and electrostatic layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly technique. Oppositely charged chitosan (CS) and alginate (ALG) in aqueous media were alternatively deposited onto the negatively charged cellulose nanofibrous mats which hydrolyzed from electrospun cellulose acetate mats. The morphology and biocompatibility of the resultant scaffolds were investigated by regulating the pH of dipping solutions, the number of deposition bilayers, and the composition of outermost layer. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images indicated that the scaffolds possessed the fibrous structure and the thickness of CS/ALG bilayer formed on fibers was estimated in the range of 8–15 nm. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results verified the existence of nitrogen element of CS on the surface of LBL films. The cell culture experiments demonstrated that the scaffolds have good biocompatibility for Beas-2B human bronchial epithelial cells in vitro.
STABILIZED NANOFIBERS, METHODS FOR PRODUCING, AND APPLICATIONS THEREOF

A surface treatment method is described herein where a stabilizing (e.g., crosslinking agent) is pre-mixed into a fluid stock comprising a processable polymer. The stock is processed to form products (e.g., nanofibers or films), followed by exposing the products to a stabilizing (e.g., crosslinking catalyst, such as acid vapors), which results in stabilization (e.g., polymer cross-linking on the surface of the product). In some embodiments, the morphology of the product is not changed upon crosslinking. Moreover in some instances, this method does not need strong acids and is performed with weak acids such as acetic acid which reduces environmental pollution. In addition to water soluble polymers (e.g., PVA), this method is applicable to proteins such as soy protein, and combinations of polymers and proteins in various embodiments.
CAROTENOID BIOSYNTHESIS ENZYMES

This invention relates to an isolated nucleic acid fragment encoding a carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme. The invention also relates to the construction of a chimeric gene encoding all or a portion of the carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme, in sense or antisense orientation, wherein expression of the chimeric gene results in production of altered levels of the carotenoid biosynthetic enzyme in a transformed host cell.
Crisis communication and deterrence: the interaction of facts and fictions

This media-historical project examines crisis communication from the Cold War up to the subsequent War on Terror and beyond. The goal is to investigate how the interaction of the factual and fictitious crisis communication triggered fear and deterrence concepts--and vice versa. Media studies lack an analysis of how media participate in a political actor network. The proposed project is the first contribution that examines the chain of operations in politics in detail and discusses how media become political. First, the researcher seeks to show how both factual and fictitious channels of communication characterize the Cold War as a conflict that is not only determined by actual events and political concepts, but also by fictions of nuclear war. The mutual analysis of the fictitious Red Telephone and of the existing hotline between Washington and Moscow should unfold the interwoven history of Cold War crisis communication. It is proposed that both facts and fictions affect deterrence concepts and fear. Second, the researcher examines the ambivalent function of third parties who intervened in the bipolar structured channel between the USA and the USSR. The objective is to show that disruptive third parties provoke societal self-reflections: While British and French hotlines to the USSR paradoxically strengthened the USA-USSR-channel, fictitious actors such as computers questioned rational actors within the military chain of command and excluded human actors to secure peace or trigger a nuclear war. Third, the researcher investigates the media break after the Cold War and the simultaneous emergence of networked crisis communication and the War on Terror. In fiction, the networked hotline must protect itself from attacks by hackers. In real life, digital diplomacy emerges along with the establishment of new media, such as Twitter. The inherent danger of social media (e.g.,Tweets from D.Trump) is that they could constitute a hyperreality that loses connections to reality.
