Planetary robots deployed for assembly and construction tasks

The proposal addresses the establishment, with the support of mobile robotic platforms, of a precursor lunar base with essential capabilities in preparation to commercial exploitation of in-situ resources by assembling an ISRU resource extraction and utilization system will be essential for the establishment of future human settlement.  It will in particular include the extraction of oxygen from regolith to serve as oxidizer for fuel and for artificial atmosphere generation within habitats, and 3D printing of relevant structures using regolith (with or without adjuvant, depending on printing strategy) for construction purpose – e.g. tiles for landing pad and roads, panels for berms, elements for shelters.
The primary objective of PRO-ACT is to implement and demonstrate multi-robot cooperation capabilities in a moon construction context, relying on, extending and integrating the outcomes of OG1, 2, 3, 4 and 5. Accordingly PRO-ACT will:
- Review, extend and integrate ESROCOS, ERGO, InFuse, I3DS and SIROM outcomes as part of a comprehensive multi-robot system, in a meaningful moon construction scenario.
- Develop robust multi-robot cooperation capabilities allowing joint interventions (including navigation in close vicinity and joint manipulation actions) in mixed structured / unstructured environment. Make the capabilities available within a CREW module, integrated along with ERGO, InFuse and ESROCOS.
- Perform the customization of existing mobile robotic platforms and prepare facilities (moon analogue) for performing tests and demonstrations in a selection of relevant, partially representative scenarios of moon construction activities in relation to (1) ISRU capabilities establishment and (2) preparing dust mitigation surfaces (3) assembling and deploying a gantry/3D printer. As a baseline, TRL 4 to 5 is aimed at (depending on scenarios subparts).
- Perform needed tests and demonstrations in Lunar analogues to validate the newly developed capabilities.
Occurrence, fate and health risk assessment of 10 common antibiotics in two drinking water plants with different treatment processes

The occurrence of antibiotics in drinking water has become a serious problem worldwide as they are a potential and real threat to human health. In this study, the variability of 10 typical antibiotics in two drinking water plants was investigated in two seasons (n = 12). The total concentrations of target antibiotics in raw water were significantly higher in winter than in summer, which may be attributed to the more frequent occurrence of colds and respiratory diseases as well as less rainfall in winter. The efficiency in removing the antibiotics varied from -46.5% to 45.1% in water plant A (WP-A) using a conventional process and 40.3% to 70.3% in water plant B (WP-B) with an advanced treatment process. Results indicated that the antibiotics in WP-A were mainly removed via the coagulation process. However in WP-B, the ultraviolet + chlorination process played a key role in antibiotics removal, followed by the pre-ozone + coagulation process. According to the human health risk assessment, it was suggested that the risk of drinking water was significantly higher than that of skin contact. However, the risk of carcinogenesis and non-carcinogenesis caused by antibiotics was at an acceptable level.
Characteristics of summer and winter precipitation over northern China

Abstract In this paper, the statistical properties of summer and winter precipitation over the northern China plain are investigated by using a two-dimensional video disdrometer (2DVD) and a micro-rain radar (MRR). The properties of summer precipitation presented herein are bulk properties (radar reflectivity, reflectivity-weighted fall velocity, liquid water content, and rainfall rate), raindrop fall velocity, axis ratio, and particle size distribution. Well correlations can be found among the diurnal cycles of radar reflectivity, liquid water content, and rainfall rate, whereas reflectivity-weighted fall velocity is poorly related to other bulk properties. The vertical profiles exhibit that radar reflectivity for stratiform rain is increasing with the altitude decreasing, in contrast, liquid water content and rainfall rate are reducing during the falling. These facts are useful for the radar-based rainfall rate retrieval algorithm. Axis ratio measurements are, for the first time, obtained and analyzed in northern China, which are particularly important for improving microphysical scheme in the climate models. In the constraint gamma model, the μ  −  Λ relation is adapted to the particle size distribution of stratiform rain, while the normalized gamma distributions for convective rain are separated to maritime-like and continental categories following the orientations and mechanisms of the storms. A new bulk-property-based algorithm is developed for the classification of convective and stratiform precipitation. For winter precipitation, radar reflectivity and snowfall rate for aggregates are calculated from the disdrometer data. The relationship of radar reflectivity and snowfall rate is obtained and validated with MRR data. The characteristics of summer and winter precipitation will be used to improve the microphysical scheme and evaluate the representation of precipitation in the climate models.
PRO-BYKE Cross-border cycling promotion in communities

The objectives of the PRO-BYKE projects concern the definition of quality measures and standards for the future harmonized and standardized coaching of cycling between Italy and Austria and the increasing of the use of bicycles in the analyzed model regions. In order to increase the percentage of cycling mobility and thus to promote national and international climate protection goals, it is essential to implement a policy framework for the promotion of cycling mobility. The aim of the project is to harmonize and professionalize the promotion of cycling mobility in the territories involved, intensifying the cross-border cooperation of the regions, provinces and municipalities through the implementation of pilot measures at local level. To achieve this, model cycling consultations will be carried out in the model regions to develop various experimental measures, evaluating and discussing the results obtained in all regions involved in the project. Based on the notions thus obtained, guidelines and local governance policies will be developed to create a solid foundation for promoting sustainable cycling mobility over time. Signing a Memorandum of Understanding between the regions involved will provide the basis for the future cooperation of the regions on the theme.
Addressing neural declines to promote healthy ageing

This multidisciplinary proposal combines behavioural science, neuroscience, and ageing research with the goal of providing an innovative, state-of-the-art approach to address age related declines in human performance.

The ageing population presents unprecedented challenges for society, and developing novel approaches to understand and address age related declines is an key field for research. Response selection provides a novel and ideal model to examine the effects of ageing on behaviour. The rapid selection of appropriate responses is an essential part of our everyday lives; for example, if we see a red light while driving, it is critical that we can quickly select the correct response of braking. Such behaviour depends not only on our ability to learn to match an essentially arbitrary cue (the red light) with the required response (pushing the brake pedal), but also to automate this response through practice. Response selection thus lies at the intersection between cognitive function and movement control, both of which decline in healthy ageing; older individuals require more time to select correct movement responses even in relatively simple tasks. 

This fellowship will 1) broaden the scientific understanding of response selection using a novel behavioural task, 2) improve this important function in an impaired population using non-invasive brain stimulation techniques, 3) capture the underlying neural mechanisms of both deficit and improvement using a multidisciplinary combination of non-invasive brain stimulation and electroencephalography, and 4) develop biomarkers using magnetic resonance imaging and neuropsychological data to understand and predict interindividual differences.
PILOT OPERATED RELIEF VALVE

A pilot operated safety relief valve (14) in which a pilot valve (32) controls the opening and closing of the main valve member (26). The pilot valve (32) has a spindle valve member (70) between an intermediate dome fluid chamber (52) and an exhaust chamber (54) communicating with exhaust port (52) and exhaust line (38). Spindle valve member (70) has an annular sealing mem-ber of membrane (104) having a relatively thin body (105) with op-posed beads (106, 108) along inner and outer peripheries of body (105) for sealing between spindle valve member (70) and the ad-jacent retainer sleeve (94). Any positive backpressure forces from exhaust line (38) are balanced against spindle valve member (70) by annular seal (80) and membrane (104). Membrane (104) is effective for sealing between spindle valve membre (70) and retainer sleeve (94) without generation of frictional forces therebetween thereby to permit precise actuation of main valve member (70) within the tol-erance of the relieving pressure specified for pilot valve (32).

TH-D-BRA-02: Late Effects from Modern Radiation Therapy

Long‐term survival rates for patients with cancer are large and increasing. In survivors who received radiotherapy the prevalence of radiogenic late effects is also large and increasing with the potential to become a public health issue of considerable proportion. A multitude of late effects are associated with radiation exposure include the development of second cancers cardiac toxicity cognitive deficits and musculoskeletal growth abnormalities in children. In modern radiotherapy much effort is devoted to developing personalized treatments that control the tumor while minimizing acute toxicities to surrounding healthy tissues; comparatively less attention is paid to minimizing late effects. However in recent years much progress has been made toward quantifying the radiation exposures and the associated risks of late effects from modern external beam radiation radiotherapies. The objectives of this lecture are to provide an introduction to radiotherapy‐induced late effects including the governing biologic and technical factors to discuss techniques to minimize radiation exposures and risks and to speculate on future developments that will enable personalized risk‐optimized radiation treatments. Learning Objectives: 1. Understand sources of radiation exposure and risk of relevance to radiogenic related late effects following modern external beam radiotherapy. 2. Understand techniques to quantify radiation exposures and to predict the associated risks of late effects. 3. Understand techniques to minimize radiation exposures and risks using existing technologies.
Strategic and targeted support to incentivise talented newcomers to nmp projects under horizon europe

FIT-4-NMP’s overall objective is to increase the participation of talented newcomers from underrepresented regions in NMP projects in Horizon Europe, as compared to Horizon 2020. Talented newcomers are promising innovation organisations – especially SMEs – that have not participated in H2020 NMP. Meanwhile, underrepresented regions are regions in EU-13, EU-15 and Associated Countries with a low participation in H2020 NMBP. The increase in participation of the talented newcomers will be brought about by connecting them with NMP hotspots, where important NMP innovations are demonstrated, as well as networking them with NMP Top Innovators.

FIT-4-NMP will take strategic and targeted approaches to achieve this overall objective.

From a strategic perspective, FIT-4-NMP will survey talented newcomers and experts responsible for regional and national R&I policy, in order to understand the precise reasons for non-participation of newcomers in NMP projects. In turn, best practices will be identified and policy measures formulated and communicated to relevant stakeholders: talented newcomers; regional/national authorities responsible for R&I policy; local innovation and technology transfer nodes; and the EC.

From a targeted perspective, the FIT-4-NMP will:

• Organise innovation workshops between talented newcomers and NMP Top Innovators;
• Provide hands-on support to talented newcomers to prepare NMP proposals for Horizon Europe;
• Facilitate networking for talented newcomers at major European conferences and regional brokerage events;
• Provide training to talented newcomers on technology-transfer, proposal writing, and use of European networking portals.

FIT-4-NMP will be undertaken by a strong consortium with partners located among many of the EU member states with the lowest participation in H2020 NMBP. Also, these partners represent “umbrella” organisations with extensive networks to innovative NMP organisations and talented newcomers in their regions.

Simulation of Rarefied Gas Flows in Atmospheric Pressure Interfaces for Mass Spectrometry Systems

The understanding of the gas dynamics of the atmospheric pressure interface is very important for the development of mass spectrometry systems with high sensitivity. While the gas flows at high pressure (>1 Torr) and low pressure (<10(-3) Torr) stages are relatively well understood and could be modeled using continuum and molecular flows, respectively, the theoretical modeling or numeric simulation of gas flow through the transition pressure stage (1 to 10(-3) Torr) remains challenging. In this study, we used the direct simulation Monte Carlo (DMSC) method to develop the gas dynamic simulations for the continuous and discontinuous atmospheric pressure interfaces (API), with different focuses on the ion transfer by gas flows through a skimmer or directly from the atmospheric pressure to a vacuum stage, respectively. The impacts by the skimmer location in the continuous API and the temporal evolvement of the gas flow with a discontinuous API were characterized, which provide a solid base for the instrument design and performance improvement.

A federated artificial intelligence solution for monitoring mental health status after cancer treatment

The main aim of FAITH is to apply the latest Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics techniques to better model and predict disease/treatment trajectories of cancer patients, with the goal of improving their quality of life and aftercare. To protect privacy of the individual, but still gain insights that are beneficial to the broader population, FAITH will be applying the concept of federated machine learning, which makes it possible to build machine learning systems without direct access to personal treatment data that will be used for training in machine learning. Devices private to the patient will run their own personalised AI models, via the project’s ‘AI Angel’ application, while a global AI model aggregates the individual model learnings (rather than the traditional approach of a central repository of holding all private patient data). FAITH’s ‘AI Angel’ will remotely analyse depression markers, predicting negative trends in their disease trajectory, giving their healthcare providers advanced warnings to allow for timely intervention. These markers are treated under several distinct categories: Activity, Outlook, Sleep, and Appetite, in accordance with the 3M strategy for population health: Monitor–Measure–Manage. Central to the vision of the FAITH project is to measure population health deeply, it is necessary to monitor individuals on a continuous basis to cast a wide enough net over a user’s health data. A key strength of FAITH is the involvement of eminent cancer hospitals and specialists in the consortium to provide relevant applicable cancer care related use cases that can effectively leverage a big data framework using computational intelligence approaches and methodologies that can be used for long term cancer care health risk and symptom minimisation for patients. FAITH has trial sites in Madrid, Waterford, and Lisbon, with real end users to assess and validate the adoption and usage of the FAITH technologies and platform.
Oral Histories in Meteoritics and Planetary Science--XVI: Grenville Turner

Abstract– In this interview, Grenville Turner (Fig. 1) recounts how he became interested in meteorites during postdoctoral research with John Reynolds at the University of California, Berkeley, after completing a DPhil with Ken Mayne at the University of Oxford. At Berkeley, he worked on xenon isotopes with fellow students Bob Pepin and Craig Merrihue, but Reynolds’ insistence that they analyze all the inert gases in their samples meant that they also made important contributions to Ne isotope studies and potassium-argon dating leading to the Ar-Ar technique. In 1964, Grenville obtained a teaching position at the University of Sheffield where he developed his own laboratory for inert gas isotope measurements. After the return of samples from the Moon by the Apollo program, he became involved in determining the chronology of volcanism and major impacts on the Moon. In 1988, Grenville and his team moved to the University of Manchester as part of a national reorganization of earth science departments. During the post Apollo years, Grenville’s interest turned to the development of new instrumentation (resonance ionization mass spectrometry and the ion microprobe), and to problems in terrestrial isotope geochemistry, particularly the source of inert gases in fluid inclusions. He received the Leonard Medal of the Meteoritical Society in 1999, and he has also received awards from the Royal Society, the European Association of Geochemistry, and the Royal Astronomical Society.
