Big data processing and artificial intelligence at the network edge

Edge computing offers many technical advantages, e.g., reduced latency, secure decentralized processing and storage, scalability at lower complexity, versatility to adapt the changes in resources and applications, and increased reliability. Edge computing can dramatically boost services and applications by supporting artificial intelligence (AI) natively, instead of relying on the cloud. Edge computing supporting AI is the only technology that will enable many of the long-awaited game changers: Industry4.0 and smart manufacturing, 5G, IoT, self-driving vehicles, remote robotics for healthcare, and machine vision among others.
The BRAINE project’s overall aim is to boost the development of the Edge framework focusing on energy efficient hardware and AI empowered software, capable of processing Big Data at the Edge, supporting security, data privacy, and sovereignty. The approach is to build a seamless Edge MicroDataCenter interlinked with AI enabled network interface cards. BRAINE employs a visionary utilization method for edge resources management and network-edge workload distribution. Predicting resource availability and workload demand, identifying trends, and taking proactive actions are all aspects of these novel methods. 
The impact of BRAINE encompasses advances in the European video distribution ecosystem, improving data processing at the network edge, and proving integrated AI for applications. These will lead to unprecedented savings in performance and energy efficiency: 2x performance/Watt and 50% energy savings; 71% latency reduction for an acceleration centric EMDC; 80% space and maintenance reduction, 99.999% fault tolerance with level 5 autonomy (autonomous driving, robotics, mission-critical system); and significantly faster infrastructure installation and deployment. 
BRAINE boosts EU’s position in the intelligent edge computing field and enables growth across many sectors, e.g., manufacturing, smart healthcare, surveillance, satellite navigation.
Oseltamivir-Resistant Pandemic A/H1N1 Virus Is as Virulent as Its Wild-Type Counterpart in Mice and Ferrets

The neuraminidase inhibitor oseltamivir is currently used for treatment of patients infected with the pandemic A/H1N1 (pH1N1) influenza virus, although drug-resistant mutants can emerge rapidly and possibly be transmitted. We describe the characteristics of a pair of oseltamivir-resistant and oseltamivir-susceptible pH1N1 clinical isolates that differed by a single change (H274Y) in the neuraminidase protein. Viral fitness of pH1N1 isolates was assessed in vitro by determining replication kinetics in MDCK alpha2,6 cells and in vivo by performing experimental infections of BALB/c mice and ferrets. Despite slightly reduced propagation of the mutant isolate in vitro during the first 24 h, the wild-type (WT) and mutant resistant viruses induced similar maximum weight loss in mice and ferrets with an identical pyrexic response in ferrets (AUC of 233.9 and 233.2, P = 0.5156). Similarly, comparable titers were obtained for the WT and the mutant strains on days 1, 3, 6 and 9 post-infection in mouse lungs and on days 1-7 in ferret nasal washes. A more important perivascular (day 6) and pleural (days 6 and 12) inflammation was noted in the lungs of mice infected with the H274Y mutant, which correlated with increased pulmonary levels of IL-6 and KC. Such increased levels of IL-6 were also observed in lymph nodes of ferrets infected with the mutant strain. Furthermore, the H274Y mutant strain was transmitted to ferrets. In conclusion, viral fitness of the H274Y pH1N1 isolate is not substantially altered and has the potential to induce severe disease and to disseminate.

Influence of tomato components in the quantification of four pesticides by gas chromatography

The matrix effect in gas chromatographic analysis is attributed to the presence of coextractives in organic phase obtained in the extraction process. This work reports the quantification study of increased chromatographic response of four pesticides in organic extracts of tomato extracted by solid-liquid extraction with low temperature purification (SLE-LTP). The pesticides chlorpyrifos, λ-cyhalothrin, cypermethrin and deltamethrin showed an increased chromatographic response after the saturation of the chromatographic system with multiple injections of organic extracts of tomato. It was also found that the greater the retention time, the greater the matrix effect, and that the internal standard reduces the matrix effect but does not eliminate it. The matrix effect measured by the analytical curves (in acetonitrile and matrix extract) was 27% for chlorpyrifos, 46% for λ-cyhalothrin, 96% for cypermethrin and 180% for deltamethrin.

Twin-Model based virtual manufacturing for machine tool-process simulation and control

Europe is the world’s largest manufacturer of machine tools but this position is threatened due to the emergence of Asian countries. However, Europe has world-class capabilities in the manufacture of high-value parts for such competitive sectors like aerospace & automotive and this has led to the creation of a high-technology, high-skill industry. European machine tool builders, part manufacturers and other agents have to work together to increase the competitiveness of European manufacturing industry.
Simulation tools are currently a key complement to European machine tool industry expertise but new integrated approaches are needed. The main objective of Twin-Control is the development of a simulation and control system that integrates the different aspects that affect machine tool and machining performance. This holistic approach will allow a better estimation of machining performance than single featured simulation packages, including lifecycle concepts like energy consumption and end-life of components. This integrated concept will also enhance the necessary collaboration between machine tool builders and part manufacturers.
The specific industrial objectives are:
•         Getting machines that work as designed faster (10% reduction)
•         Getting production processes that work as planned faster (20% reduction)
•         To get a first-time-right part manufacturing (75%)
•         To increase production time trough model-based control (increase of 1-2%)
•         To reduce energy consumption (25-50%)
•         Improve machine reliability and increase machine up-time due to a proactive maintenance (2-4.5%)
All these will contribute to reduce machine tool life cycle costs (15 %) with a reduction of O&M costs in the range of 25%.
The project considers the validation and demonstrator in real production scenarios in aerospace and automotive industries. Added to this, 3 demonstrators will be set-up in three pilot lines for spreading results beyond the project end
Las mujeres originarias oaxaqueñas en el poder de la resistencia: Un giro en el reconocimiento social y reconocimiento legal de las “otras inapropiables”

This article is an historical and cultural approximation based on the teachings of native women in their struggle for social and legal recognition in Oaxaca. In parallel to the literary inheritance of the ‘Chicana’ women, the Afro-American and American-Indian women of the book Otras inapropiables. Feminismos desde la frontera, I include the voices of women and other indigenous from Oaxaca who were part of in the process of transgression of moral norms and cultures in the various spaces of power. The women interviewed share their reflexions on how they have lived, felt and experienced sexism, classism, discrimination and racism during the last four decades in the socio-historical process. They appeal to the creation of multiple citizenships, a power form of resistance in the current context of the global economy. Finally, I will try to respond to what are the political effects of the current reconfiguration of the multicultural neoliberal State of Oaxaca; as well as the violence that it generates for the indigenous people’s struggle.

cross-border outdoor course

"This project is part of the plan MITO" : This project aims to improve the attractivity of sportive itineraries thorough the identification of main biking, walking and hors-riding paths within ALCOTRA’s territory and bettering them thorough new infrastructures and sportive equipment. The constitution of this cross-border network, promote besides seasonal adjustment of the touristic offer and diffusion of sustainable tourism in most remoted areas of these territories, the development of cultural and eno-gastronomic sector, completing the offer of the territory either for a new typology of tourists looking for a more naturalistic and sustainable approach, than for the benefice of local inhabitants on the whole ALCOTRA’s territory.

This plan involves 5 Regions and almost all the NUTS III’s eligible areas. Italian and French partners are fronting an important challenge: creating an international market of outdoor tourism in ALCOTRA’s space. From a touristic point of view, this territory includes two poles north-south really famous, which are attracting international tourism: the Mont Blanc and the French Riviera. The territory between these two others has a wonderful natural heritage and an unmatched variety of landscapes. Outdoor activities are developed yet, but some of them known only at a local level, and the ones open to European markets are especially related to ski and winter tourism. The analyse of these problems purposed by the Plan shows that the outdoor products of ALCOTRA’s space is lowly organized, visible and readable by public. The 4 projects composing the PITEM’s strategy use the following schema: creating conditions to harmonize information’s on outdoor offer and make them interoperable, qualify touristic products thanks to formation of operators, realise needed infrastructures, test utilisation solutions of natural spaces in a logic of environment supervision, capitalize service management experiences and the promotion on both sides of the border. The goal is to promote continuity, renewing and outdoor sports users satisfaction thorough a clearest, safer, offer contributing to touristic offer diversification and seasonal adjustment.
Development of a demonstrator for the penetrating particle analyser (pan) technology

The goal of the project is to build a demonstrator for the Penetrating Particle Analyser (PAN), an innovative energetic particle detection technology to precisely measure and monitor the flux and composition of highly penetrating particles (> ~100 MeV/nucleon) in deep space. The application of PAN is broad and multidisciplinary, covering cosmic ray physics, solar physics, space weather and space travel. PAN will fill an observation gap of galactic cosmic rays in the 100 MeV/nucleon - GeV/nucleon region, which is crucial for improving our still limited understanding of the origin of cosmic rays, and their propagation through the Galaxy and the Solar system. It will provide precise information of the spectrum, composition and timing of energetic particle originated from the Sun, which is essential for studying the physical process of solar activities, in particular the rare but violent solar events that produce intensive flux of energetic particles. The precise measurement and monitoring of the penetrating particles is also a unique contribution to space weather studies, in particular to the development of predictive space weather models in a multi-wavelength and multi-messenger approach, using observations both space and ground based. As indicated by the terminology, penetrating particles cannot be shielded effectively. PAN can monitor the flux and composition of these particles precisely and continuously, thus providing real-time radiation hazard warning and long term radiation health risk for human space travelers. Once developed, PAN can become a standard device for deep space human bases and for deep space exploration and commercial spacecrafts, or as part of a space weather advance warning system permanently deployed in space. It can also be implemented on science missions to perform ground-breaking measurements for cosmic-ray physics, solar physics, planetary science and space radiation dosimetry.
POLYMERIZATION OF CARBON MONOXIDE AND ETHYLENE USING CATALYST CONTAINING NON-COORDINATING, NON-ACIDIC ANION

Carbon monoxide and ethylene are polymerized in the presence of a catalytically effective amount of a catalyst formed from a Group VIII metal source, such as palladium, a bidentate ligand containing a Group VA or VIA heteroatom, such as phosphorus, and an anion which is a non-coordinating, nonacidic tetrasubstituted anion containing a Group IIIA element, such as boron, with the anion preferably being either an unsubstituted or substituted boron tetraphenyl compound. The catalyst is advantageously formed by the exchange reaction of a ligand-conjugated Group VIII metal salt with a salt containing the non-coordinating, non-acidic tetrasubstituted anion containg the Group IIIA element in a solvent medium which causes the separation (due to differing solubilities) of the desired catalyst from the by-product of the reaction which comprises the anion from salt which was used as the Group VIII metal source and the cation from the salt used as the source of the noncoordinating, non-acidic tetrasubstituted anion containing the Group IIIA element. The resulting polyketone product has novel thermal stability characteristics.
Cross-border promotion of high-quality vine-growing and wine-making in the Eastern Veneto. 

This project stems from the need to enhance and promote the quality wine production in the Lison Pramaggiore and Slovenian DOC (registered designation of origin) areas, by increasing the visibility of the product. The first stage of the project involves the study, survey and collection of data, in order to publish a bilingual brochure: “Vine-growing methods in the Lison Pramaggiore DOC area”. The main purpose of research is detecting the types of farming that are most profitable from the qualitative and economic points of view, and which can highlight the vocation and the peculiarities of Lison Pramaggiore and the Slovenian reference territories, thus favouring the best associations with the other types of cross-border typical production. The following stage of the project involves dissemination meetings and events about the importance of vinegrowing in Eastern Veneto, the zoning and enhancement of high-quality wines, with special regard to the topic “Lison Pramaggiore: a territory of wine and sea”. In Venice, a cross-border comparative quality assessment of the producers’ wines in the area concerned has been carried out. The project envisages also the preparation of a multilingual CD-Rom to publicize the results achieved and to confer visibility on the vine-growing areas involved in this initiative.
Using eye movement analysis to study auditory effects on visual memory recall.

Recent studies in affective computing are focused on sensing human cognitive context using biosignals. In this study, electrooculography (EOG) was utilized to investigate memory recall accessibility via eye movement patterns. 12 subjects were participated in our experiment wherein pictures from four categories were presented. Each category contained nine pictures of which three were presented twice and the rest were presented once only. Each picture presentation took five seconds with an adjoining three seconds interval. Similarly, this task was performed with new pictures together with related sounds. The task was free viewing and participants were not informed about the task's purpose. Using pattern recognition techniques, participants' EOG signals in response to repeated and non-repeated pictures were classified for with and without sound stages. The method was validated with eight different participants. Recognition rate in "with sound" stage was significantly reduced as compared with "without sound" stage. The result demonstrated that the familiarity of visual-auditory stimuli can be detected from EOG signals and the auditory input potentially improves the visual recall process.

FLEXIBLE PAGING FOR PACKET DATA

A system (100) and method including a flexible paging protocol which adjusts the allocation of resources for paging in response to the amount of actual paging traffic, by increasing resources for paging when paging traffic is heavy and decreasing them when paging traffic is light. A base station (204) transmits a paging packet message over a paging broadcast channel containing a set of paging messages and a next page pointer. The next page pointer identifies when the next set of paging packet messages will be transmitted. A user station (105) monitoring the paging channel receives the next page pointer, and, if not being paged, goes to sleep until the next paging packet message is due. When paging traffic is light, paging messages are sent infrequently, freeing up base station resources and allowing the user station (105) to remain asleep longer. When paging traffic is heavy, paging messages are sent more frequently, ensuring rapid response to the pages and reducing the probability of a missed call.
Planning Fire and Rescue Services by Visualizing Mobile Phone Density

This paper focuses on how calculating and visualizing mobile phone density would assist fire and rescue services in Helsinki, Finland. Studying the relationship between population distributions (over time) and population density hot spots can lead to better emergency preparedness and the more efficient allocation of fire and rescue services. Current data are restricted to the administrative boundaries of census data and limited in their time dimension. Data acquired from mobile phone locations have a high temporal and spatial dimension and are better suited for the purpose of showing changing population density hotspots over time. Viewing population density as a continuous surface, using kernel density estimations, and visualizing it as a “landscape” can support the understanding of density distributions, which are of particular importance in the planning of fire and rescue services.
Cost Savings of Telemedicine Utilization for Child Psychiatry in a Rural Kansas Community

The costs of pediatric telemedicine services remain underreported and understudied; however, there is evidence that telepediatric services can be cost competitive with traditional ones. For 15 years, the University of Kansas Center for Telemedicine and Telehealth has been providing telemental health outreach from the University of Kansas Medical Center (KUMC). One service site is located in Crawford County, Kansas, which provides telepsychiatry services to children and adolescents. The purpose of this study was to examine the costs of operating the Crawford County site relative to accessing services at KUMC, the likely alternative service location. The cost of travel time to parents who accompanied a dependent to either location also was estimated. Patients and parents were examined over a 6-month period in 2006. One hundred thirty-two patients received 257 telemedicine psychiatric consultations during this period. Cost estimates for using the pediatric telemedicine service were assessed for all patients; however, travel and related costs were collected from a sample of 26 patient-parent dyads. The estimated costs of services were obtained using standard cost-accounting procedures. An average cost per consultation in Crawford County was $168.61. The cost savings in travel time and other expenses to parents and patients were substantial between use of the county site and KUMC. Subtracting average savings in travel costs to patients and parents produced an average cost of a telepsychiatry consult in Crawford County of only $30.99. This study was conducted over 6 months with a small number of observations; it should be replicated over a longer study period, with more patients, and with more data that might capture marginal costs of services.
An Amplified Experience: A Phenomenological Study of Studying Abroad During the COVID-19 Pandemic

COVID-19 largely brought U.S. education abroad to a halt. As universities and education abroad organizations bolstered risk management policies, students slowly returned to study abroad programs. Our phenomenological study explored the meaning that students who studied abroad during the pandemic gave to their experiences. We found that the essence of the phenomenon was an amplified version of the meaning that students gave to pre-pandemic study abroad experiences. Abstract in German Der Ausbruch der Covid-19-Pandemie hat US-Austauschprogramme weltweit nahezu zum Erliegen gebracht. Nachdem Universitäten und Austauschorganisationen ihre Richtlinien für ihr Risikomanagement verschärft haben, kehrten Studierende langsam zum Angebot von Auslandsaufenthalten zurück. Unsere phänomenologische Erhebung hat die Bedeutung untersucht, die Studierende, die während der Pandemie im Ausland eine Hochschule besucht haben, ihrer Auslandserfahrung zugeschrieben haben. Wir sind zu dem Ergebnis gekommen, dass jene Studierende dem Format eines Auslandsaufenthalts eine noch größere Bedeutung beigemessen haben als es Studierende bereits vor der Coronakrise getan haben.
