DELIVERY PUMP FOR A POLYMER MELT, EXTRUSION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR FILAMENT PRODUCTION

The invention relates to a delivery pump (1) for a polymer melt and, in particular, a melt pump for filament production which, as a positive displacement pump, has a feed channel (41) for feeding in a polymer melt, an outlet channel (42) for discharging the polymer melt, and a gearwheel arrangement (4), with a first gearwheel (10) with a first rotational axis (11) and with a second gearwheel (20) with a second rotational axis (21), which second gearwheel (20) is in meshing engagement with said first gearwheel (10), in a transition region between and in a fluidic connection with the feed channel (41) and the outlet channel (42). In the case of the delivery pump (1) according to the invention, the first gearwheel (10) and the second gearwheel (20) can be rotated about their respective rotational axis (11, 21) in a manner which meshes with one another, such that, upon rotation, a polymer melt which is fed in can be transferred from the feed channel (41) to the outlet channel (42). A longitudinal axis (43) of the feed channel (41) and a longitudinal axis (44) of the outlet channel (42) enclose an angle in a range of from 70° to 110°, and preferably enclose an angle of 90°. A connecting line (45) of the rotational axes (11, 21) which lies perpendicularly on the rotational axes (11, 21) of the gearwheels (10, 20) encloses, with the longitudinal axis (43) of the feed channel (41) and with the longitudinal axis (44) of the outlet channel (42), an identical or substantially identical angle in a range of from 30° to 60°, and preferably encloses an angle of 45°.
Central European Network for knowledge based on Innovative Light Sources

Innovative light sources (ILS’s) are one of the most powerful tools for exploring the inner properties of matter. Knowledge about these properties allows novel applications in a large variety in scientific and technological fields. Centres hosting ILS’s are crossroads between fundamental science, state-of-the-art technology, high-level education and training, and business sectors. Therefore, they provide a formidable environment for human capital development. In central Europe one can notice that not all regions are currently taking full advantage of this great potential. CENILS sets out to bring closer the research and industrial applications relying on ILS’s and to exploit this knowledge for fostering human capital.
SYSTEMS FOR COUPLING DECODERS TO QUANTUM REGISTERS

A quantum computing device comprises at least one quantum register including l logical qubits, where l is a positive integer. The quantum computing device further includes a set of d decoder blocks coupled to the at least one quantum register, where d < 2*l. In this way, the decoder blocks may share decoding requests generated by the logical qubits.
Ultra-Fast, spread-spectrum magnetic resonance imaging

Imaging speed is a key factor to capture rapid changes at high spatial and temporal resolution. A major limitation of magnetic resonance (MR) imaging is its rather low speed compared to other modalities like ultra sound or computerized tomography. We aim to explore two novel concepts to boost MR imaging speed by another order of magnitude compared to existing techniques. SpreadMRI fundamentally steps beyond current concepts of image encoding by exploiting a spectral spin modulation that so far has not been utilized. SpreadMRI is based on the rapid and local modulation of magnetic fields produced by current loops and/or radiofrequency (RF) loops. Applied spectral modulations are in the MHz range bridging the low-frequency band of switched gradients (kHz) and the 100 MHz range of the Larmor frequency. SpreadMRI spreads the bandwidth of gradient-encoded spin frequencies using distinct carrier frequencies originating from a certain region of the object. This spatially unique information will then be used to disentangle parts of the object, and thus to drastically boost imaging speed. Approaching this intermediate frequency band requires to address several basic research questions related to image reconstruction, electromagnetic coupling, spin Physics and possible biological effects. Based on theoretical analysis and exhaustive electromagnetic simulations of dedicated current loop and RF coil arrangements, including variants of different modulation patterns, several types of SpreadMRI coils for human head imaging at 9.4T will be developed and applied for high temporal and spatial functional brain imaging. The specific approach of SpreadMRI will lead to major changes in the hard- and software environment of current MR-scanners. It will not only provide new insight within the areas covered by the proposal, but will definitely benefit conventional MR diagnostic by enabling new applications with a simultaneous reduction of motion artifacts and increased patient throughput.
OFFSET TEMPORAL MOTION VECTOR PREDICTOR (TMVP)

An improved method for temporal motion vector prediction for inter block HEVC is provided that relies on a block translational model. The method adds an offset to a temporal motion vector predictor (TMVP) to improve prediction accuracy. The method first designates a current prediction block as an area for motion compensation where all the pixels inside the prediction block perform identical translation temporally using motion vectors MVs. A coordinate offset is then derived for a current prediction block from the MVs of its spatially neighboring blocks. The offset TMVP is then defined for the current prediction block as the MV of an offset block which is in the geometrical location of the current prediction block coordinate plus the coordinate offset in a specified temporal reference picture. The offset TMVP is then used to code MVs.
Assessing Knowledge and Attitudes of U.S. Healthcare Providers about Benefits and Risks of Consuming Seafood

An online needs assessment survey of healthcare providers was developed and implemented to determine knowledge and attitudes about the benefits and risks of consuming seafood along with how this might impact patient/clientele counseling. Only 6 of the 45 knowledge items queried (13%) met the 80% subject mastery or proficiency with a total knowledge score of 56 ± 18%. Based on this survey, it was found that healthcare providers were less than proficient regarding all knowledge areas for seafood. Understanding of seafood safety and contaminants was low. In addition, while the majority (76%) of healthcare respondents knew the correct recommendation for seafood meals per week, they failed to identify the groups that were targeted by the Food and Drug Administration/Environmental Protection Agency (FDA/EPA) advisory about seafood and mercury and therefore could be providing inaccurate information. Attitudinal responses for 18 items resulted in an overall average score of 3.28 ± 0.47 meaning slightly agree (based on a 5-point Likert scale strongly disagree—strongly agree). While trends showed that it was important to the respondents to provide accurate information (3.78 ± 1.06) about seafood to their patients, they felt more comfortable recommending that their patients follow government advice (3.52 ± 0.91) about both seafood safety and which seafood to eat over other sources. Combined with a low knowledge base, attitudinal responses indicate that there could be a barrier to both outreach education to these healthcare providers and to their patient counseling regarding seafood consumption. Results also showed that a combination of online, science-based, easy to access information with the capability to provide brochure-formatted information would appear to be the best way to communicate seafood safety, nutrition, and health information.
Hybrid organic thermoelectrics: an insight into charge transport physics towards high-performance organic thermoelctric generators

Thermoelectric generators (TEGs) which directly convert heat to electricity could be a valuable contributor to the world’s increasing demand for renewable energy. Organic semiconductors offer several unique advantages over inorganic materials, such as solution processable, flexibility and biocompatibility, thus development of organic thermoelectrics (OTEs) will enable applications not currently feasible with traditional inorganic thermoelectrics (ITEs). Preliminary results showed that the thermoelectric performance of two organic semiconductors can be significantly improved through an evaporation doping methodology as well as incorporation of nanomaterials such as black Phosphorus (BP). Although the breakthroughs are promising, the charge transport mechanism is still unclear. Without such an understanding, the OTE systems can never be optimised. It is the objective of the proposed project (i) to understand charge transport in the semiconductors and their nanocomposites by integrating experimental output into charge transport model, (ii) to optimise their thermoelectric performance based on understanding of the charge transport mechanism, (iii) to fabricate the a hybrid OTE system with optimised thermoelectric performance (i.e. P > 1250 μWm-1K-2, κ<0.5 Wm-1K-1, and ZT≥1), and (iv) to fabricate a prototype hybrid OTE generator and demonstrate its application as a flexible solar thermoelectric generator and/or wearable thermoelectric generator for electronic-skin.
Twitter and the Welsh language

The emergence of new domains, such as the Internet, can prove challenging for minority languages. Welsh is a minority, regional language and is considered ‘vulnerable’ by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The Welsh-speaking community appears to have responded positively to the Internet and the new media it facilitates. This paper uses an online questionnaire to examine the community's response to Twitter. The results show that Twitter has become a new domain for the production and consumption of the Welsh language, as well as facilitating new connections between members of the Welsh-speaking community. However, while Twitter may provide a new domain for the Welsh language, it is also a new domain for the production and consumption of the English language by Welsh speakers. While the presence of the Welsh language on Twitter should be seen as encouraging, the overall effect of Twitter on the maintenance of the Welsh language remains difficult to determine.
Dynamic models for safety shutdown of distillation columns

Abstract Pressure relief valves are commonly used to protect distillation columns from overpressure in emergency situations like loss of cooling. An alternative safeguarding method, which may eliminate the need for relief altogether, is safety shutdown of the energy inputs to the column. Keeping the holdup enclosed in the pressure system is especially advantageous in hazardous, corrosive or reacting systems. Furthermore, the time required for restarting operations may be shorter if the holdup is not relieved to a flare. Shutting down the heat input leads to a rapid collapse of the pressure profile and fast draining of low boiling liquid from the internals to the hot column bottom. During the dynamic draining process, the mixture's vapor pressure continuously changes and may increase considerably. The maximum pressure rise during the shutdown process must be considered in the mechanical design pressure of all connected equipment. During shutdown, the flow regime leaves the stable hydraulic operating range. Experimental data from an industrial valve tray column is analyzed. A standard hydraulic model is unable to predict the pressure dynamics. A literature sieve tray weeping model is adapted to valve trays and fitted to plant data. Simulation results show good dynamic agreement with experimental data.
Seasonal dynamic and influencing factors of coarse woody debris respiration in mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest

Carbon dioxide released from the respiration of coarse woody debris(RCWD) is an important component of carbon budget in forest ecosystem with moderate to large amount of CWD.Accurately estimating the fluxes of RCWD may thus be important for assessing the current and long-term C balance of forest ecosystems.Though CWD pool has been quantified in many forest ecosystems,direct measurement of RCWD is limited,especially in mid-subtropical evergreen broad-leaved forest.Thus,the importance of RCWD in most forest ecosystems is unknown.Accurate RCWD measurements are challenging because the decomposer communities may be highly sensitive to change in temperature and water content,and to natural or anthropogenic disturbances.In early studies,RCWD was measured by soda lime traps,in which the physical disturbance to CWD can be avoided during measurement process.However,the traps are well known to underestimate respiration rates and measure efflux only at the surface though decomposability of CWD varies over the cross-section of a log.The infrared gas analysis(IRGA) method provides a precise measurement on respiration from the entire cross-section of the CWD,but may involve physical disturbances such as removing it from its environment and cutting a sample.In this study,the IRGA method with LI-8100 automated soil CO2 flux system was used to measure RCWD and its seasonal dynamic.The objectives were to determine how environmental factors(mainly substrate temperature and water content) and decay class influence rate of RCWD,which may provide valueable information for greenhouse gas inventories of CWD and construction of forest carbon cycle models.The results show that: substrate temperature is commonly the most important environmental factor influencing RCWD,but substrate water content(WCWD) interacted with substrate temperature(TCWD) on RCWD across a broad WCWD gradient(from 13.65% to 153.86%).RCWD generally increased with increase in substrate temperature and water content until to a certain level,and then tended to decline.Differences in RCWD among decay classes were due to variations in substrate water content and the sensitivity of RCWD to environmental conditions.Rates of RCWD of all decay classes showed distinct seasonal variation with a single peak,with the maximum rate of 9.69 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 in August and the minimum rates of 0.60 μmol CO2·m-2·s-1 in February.There were significant differences in RCWD rates among different decay classes.The comparisons indicated that the RCWD for ClassⅠ was significantly lower than that for Class Ⅲ and Class Ⅳ(P0.05),and the RCWD for Class Ⅲ and Ⅳ did not differ.Rates of RCWD were significantly positively correlated with substrate temperature(P0.01),which can explain 70.2%—85.6% of seasonal variations in RCWD.The correlation between RCWD and substrate water content was not significant(P0.05).The sensitivity of RCWD to seasonal substrate temperature,evaluated as Q10,ranged from 2.46 to 2.83 and increased with decay classes.
British Quaker Aid to Spanish Republican Exiles in Concentration Camps in the South of France (1939–1940)

When a failed military coup provoked civil war in Spain in July 1936, British Quakers were among the first t respond to the tremendous need for humanitarian aid among the civilian population. They distributed food and clothing, set up canteens and hospitals, provided schooling and workshops, and organized the evacuation of children from war zones. Then, in January 1939, when the Spanish Republic finally succumbed to the might of the rebel forces, the Quakers accompanied thousands of refugees in their flight towards the French border. This became known as ‘la retirada’ (the Retreat). Once in French territory, the refugees were herded into improvised internment camps. These were simply vast open spaces on the beaches encircled by barbed wire, with no shelter, no latrines and barely any food. Quakers were the first to obtain permits to access the camps in order to alleviate the suffering and deprivation found there. They distributed not only the most basic aid such as food and clothing, but also pencils and notebooks, as well as tools and materials of all kinds to work with. Thus, in characteristic fashion, they provided people with the means by which they could help themselves.
Therapeutic hijacking of e3 ligases

Traditional drug design relies on inhibition of enzymes or receptors with accessible hydrophobic pockets. The concept of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) promised to overcome this limitation. Following our discovery of the first PROTAC that induced selective protein degradation in vivo, this technology has seen a boost in academia and industry. Despite global research efforts, advances are so far incremental: (i) most focus is on degrading targets that can be liganded and are druggable with conventional inhibitors; (ii) currently, only 3 out of 600 E3 ligases can be exploited. Glue2Degrade aims to transform the pharmacologically targetable space of the proteome. The project is built on the hypothesis that molecular glues (MGs), non-chimeric small molecules that degrade target proteins by inducing cooperative binding to E3 ligases, are much more prevalent than anticipated. Lenalidomide and related immunomodulatory drugs (IMiDs) are prime examples of the potential of MGs. Without a specific targeting moiety, IMiDs induce cooperative binding of the E3 ligase CRBN to undruggable proteins like IKZF1/3, thereby inducing their degradation. However, no technologies exist to rationally develop MGs that hijack other E3 ligases.  ERC-funding would allow us to address this limitation. Based on data generated in my laboratory, we will systematically identify novel MGs and their E3 ligases by innovating (i) phenotypic discovery strategies, and (ii) an orthogonal chemical genetics pipeline. To elucidate the mechanisms of novel MGs, we will (iii) conduct target identification via unbiased proteomics followed by (iv) chemical optimization and initial translational characterization. Glue2Degrade, if successful, will transform the engageable E3 space and identify novel MGs, thereby opening up the potential for therapeutic development of cell-, tissue-, and cancer-type specific chemical degraders for undruggable proteins.
Historical itineraries between the Karst and the Isonzo river

The Project aims at setting up a network of cross-border thematic itineraries and pathways, in order to relaunch the tourist offer of the area of reference. Two options are available. The first one concerns the setting up of the “service system”, which is necessary for a coordinated and cohesive management, and the preparation of the “logical framework” required to define activities, results and objectives and to periodic assessment. The second one includes the creation of a network of cross-border routes and thematic itineraries to increase the visibility of “lesser” tourist destinations, which so far have remained at the margins of tourist flows, in spite of their historical-archaeological and landscape appeal. This leads to a unified tourist offer in the cross-border area, through the establishment of a single system of itineraries including existing ones and a new network of thematic routes so as to diversify the tourist offer and enhance lesser destinations. The historicalarchaeological, naturalistic, wine and food tasting itineraries play a key role in the planning of an “open-air museum”, that is to say a system bringing together different aspects of one single context. The project also envisages a joint promotion, through the publication of brochures and of a tourist guide and the organization of events in the area of reference.
Establishing a european knowledge and learning mechanism to improve the policy-science-society interface on biodiversity and ecosystem services

The aim of EKLIPSE is to establish an innovative, light, self-sustainable EU support mechanism for evidence-based policy on biodiversity and ecosystems services open to all relevant knowledge holders and users, and to hand over this mechanism to the wider knowledge community by the end of the project. The mechanism will build on existing science-policy-society interfaces and be further refined via iterative evaluation and learning throughout the project. The mechanism will provide trustworthy evidence for policy and society upon request and will make the knowledge community more able to provide synthesized and timely evidence by providing a platform for mutual learning and engagement. All relevant knowledge holders and users will be actively encouraged and supported by the project team through their individual strengths and interests, thus ensuring targeted contributions. Many institutions have already expressed their interest in the “Network of Networks” of potential contributors to the EU mechanism’s activities. EKLIPSE will directly support the further development of this network and ensure the involvement of relevant stakeholders in the following key areas: (a) jointly developing and setting up a business plan for the mechanism after the end of the project (WP1), (b) conducting joint evidence assessments using established and innovative methods to support policy and societal needs (WP3), (c) jointly identifying research needs and emerging issues (WP4), actively building the Network of Networks and (d) encouraging societal engagement (WP6). This will be supported by an interim governance structure, a strong communication component, including a Science-Policy-Society Forum, and an independent formative evaluation to ensure learning (WP2).
