Professional qualification to promote local breweries in Friuli Venezia Giulia and Slovenia

The brewing industry today is undergoing a process of diversification and broadening of the offer, as witnessed by the appearance of micro-breweries. These are generally small and medium-sized businesses engaged in brewing and , in most cases, in direct selling of the beer (Brewpubs). This economic activity is of particular interest but is faced with a lack of professional expertise in the field. These professionals must develop mostly technological skills, related to the transformation of raw materials, as well as economic-managerial skills to ensure an effective management of the production process. A similar context characterises Slovenia. In this case too the professional figure must possess a specific training and familiarity with brewing techniques and methods. He/she must also possess a solid knowledge of the organisational, economic and strategic aspects of microbrewery management. Specifically this professional is expected to be able to perform quality checks on both the raw material and the final product. The assessment of a few chemical-physical parameters provides useful information on the characteristics of the raw material and the resulting beer obtained through set production standards.

Effective Control Method of the Whole Process Project Cost Based on BIM

Engineering industry is one of the important industries in the process of economic development. In the aspect of project investment, how to achieve the expected effect with the minimum investment under the premise of ensuring the project quality has become the topic of common concern of all stakeholders. In view of the difficulty of the traditional project cost control which is not refined and time-consuming, this paper proposes an effective control method of the whole process project cost based on BIM. BIM technology is used to control the cost of the whole process of the project, so as to realize effective management and avoid out of control investment. Through the actual case, the results show that the method presented in this paper has obvious advantages in time consumption and estimation accuracy, and the satisfaction of management personnel, construction personnel and supervision personnel has reached more than 85%.
Effects of the nuclear disaster on marine products in Fukushima

After the release of huge amounts of radionuclides into the ocean from the devastated Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant (FDNPP), safety concerns have arisen for marine products in Fukushima Prefecture. As of October 2012, we had inspected the radionuclide ((131)I, (134)Cs and (137)Cs) concentrations in 6462 specimens within 169 marine species collected off the coast of Fukushima Prefecture from April 2011. Only two species exceeded the Japanese provisional regulatory limit for (131)I (2000 Bq/kg-wet) immediately after the FDNPP accident. In 2011 and 2012, 63 and 41 species respectively exceeded the Japanese regulatory limit for radioactive Cs (100 Bq/kg-wet). The overall radioactive Cs concentrations of the total marine products have decreased significantly. However, the time-series trends of radioactive Cs concentrations have differed greatly among taxa, habitats (pelagic/demersal), and spatial distributions. Higher concentrations were observed in shallower waters south of the FDNPP. Radioactive Cs concentrations decreased quickly or were below detection limits in pelagic fishes and some invertebrates, and decreased constantly in seaweed, surf clams, and other organisms. However, in some coastal demersal fishes, the declining trend was much more gradual, and concentrations above the regulatory limit have been detected frequently, indicating continued uptake of radioactive Cs through the benthic food web. The main continuing source of radioactive Cs to the benthic food web is expected to be the radioactive Cs-containing detritus in sediment. Trial fishing operations for several selected species without radioactive Cs contamination were commenced in Soma area, 50 km north of the FDNPP, from June 2012. Long-term and careful monitoring of marine products in the waters off Fukushima Prefecture, especially around the FDNPP, is necessary to restart the coastal fishery reliably and to prevent harmful rumors in the future.
BURGLAR-PROOF STORAGE SYSTEM DESIGNED TO BE USED IN PARTICULAR AS A CELLAR

A burglar-proof storage system, designed to be used in particular as a cellar. A non-warping PVC or similar container (1) is embedded into an armoured concrete trench (2), the whole structure being buried underground (100). The container (1) can accommodate a plurality of cases (14), designed to contain, in particular, bottles or other articles, whereby said cases are arranged so that they may be removed by sliding from the container (1). Air vents (11 and 12) are provided as well as an absorbing layer (13) whose function is to adjust the hygrometric degree inside the container. The sliding removal means, the heat and humidity-resistant insulation, the ventilation, the lack of vibration and the like lend this system all the qualities of a fine cellar, and provided it is equipped with an armoured door, it constitutes a burglar-proof structure. The invention applies to the storage of goods at relatively constant temperature and hygrometric degree.
Environmental administrative penalty, corporate environmental disclosures and the cost of debt

The role of environmental information disclosure (EID) in debt financing for penalized enterprises remains limited in the current literature. This research seeks to investigate this topic by focusing on manufacturing firms that have been penalized by the Chinese government for violating environmental rules and regulations. Further, it analyzes how environmental administrative penalties impact the debt cost in the following year. Based on our results, the environmental administrative penalty significantly increases the debt cost in the following year through the negative increment of the company's disclosure quality, and the incremental disclosure plays a mediating role in this relationship. Besides, it has also been found that environmental administrative penalties cannot affect the debt cost by changing the disclosure level. While the existing literature has established that environmental penalties can lead to changes in corporate information disclosure, this research contributes to this literature by revealing that the decline of environmental disclosure quality of penalized firms leads to the increase of financing costs.
Sub array technique applied to reducing the number of sensors in blind source separation

This work describes an efficient technique to separate electromagnetic sources, which present very small frequency difference (ΔF = 0.41%). The proposed technique needs fewer sensors than sources to collect the data. The case of sensors array with elements distant λ0/4 is presented, but can be extended to λ0/2. It is applied the independent component analysis (ICA) method. An ICA algorithm based on the maximization of nongaussianity and symmetric orthogonalization (FastICA) is used. The appropriate measuring system is mounted to demonstrate the procedure used for data acquisition. Three different antennas were used as independent sources. An array of two planar dipole antenna connected to a radio frequency analyzer was used as sensors in the measuring system. Experimental results show that it is possible the identification of several sources with fewer sensors.
Phase Transitions in Spatial Connectivity during Influenza Pandemics

We investigated phase transitions in spatial connectivity during influenza pandemics, relating epidemic thresholds to the formation of clusters defined in terms of average infection. We employed a large-scale agent-based model of influenza spread at a national level: the Australian Census-based Epidemic Model (AceMod). In using the AceMod simulation framework, which leverages the 2016 Australian census data and generates a surrogate population of ≈23.4 million agents, we analysed the spread of simulated epidemics across geographical regions defined according to the Australian Statistical Geography Standard. We considered adjacent geographic regions with above average prevalence to be connected, and the resultant spatial connectivity was then analysed at specific time points of the epidemic. Specifically, we focused on the times when the epidemic prevalence peaks, either nationally (first wave) or at a community level (second wave). Using the percolation theory, we quantified the connectivity and identified critical regimes corresponding to abrupt changes in patterns of the spatial distribution of infection. The analysis of criticality is confirmed by computing Fisher Information in a model-independent way. The results suggest that the post-critical phase is characterised by different spatial patterns of infection developed during the first or second waves (distinguishing urban and rural epidemic peaks).
IRESbase: A Comprehensive Database of Experimentally Validated Internal Ribosome Entry Sites

Internal ribosome entry sites (IRESs) are functional RNA elements that can directly recruit ribosomes to an internal position of the mRNA in a cap-independent manner to initiate translation. Recently, IRES elements have attracted much attention for their critical roles in various processes including translation initiation of a new type of RNA, circular RNA (circRNA), with no 5' cap to support classical cap-dependent translation. Thus, an integrative data resource of IRES elements with experimental evidence will be useful for further studies. In this study, we present IRESbase, a comprehensive database of IRESs, by curating the experimentally validated functional minimal IRES elements from literature and annotating their host linear and circular RNAs. The current version of IRESbase contains 1328 IRESs, including 774 eukaryotic IRESs and 554 viral IRESs from 11 eukaryotic organisms and 198 viruses, respectively. As IRESbase collects only IRES of minimal length with functional evidence, the median length of IRESs in IRESbase is 174 nucleotides. By mapping IRESs to human circRNAs and long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), 2191 circRNAs and 168 lncRNAs were found to contain at least one entire or partial IRES sequence. IRESbase is available at http://reprod.njmu.edu.cn/cgi-bin/iresbase/index.php.
Investigating the mechanism of spatiotemporal control over genome activation by zelda in an in vitro reconstituted system

A long-standing question in biology is how do transcription activators and repressors exert their function over large batteries of specific targets spread throughout the genome in a timely and coordinated way. An excellent model system to study this process is zygotic genome activation (ZGA) that happens during development of every animal and hallmarks initiation of transcription from the zygotic genome. During ZGA, developmental cues such as morphogen gradients are converted into coordinated and robust spatiotemporal patterns of gene expression. I will study the mechanisms that govern this process by focusing on transcriptional activator Zelda – a key protein that orchestrates ZGA in Drosophila melanogaster. Using in vitro assays on purified recombinant proteins, I will investigate Zelda’s interactions with DNA, chromatin, RNA and transcription factors and examine the capability of such reconstituted system to recapitulate key aspects of gene regulation such as local clustering of regulatory DNA regions and transcription factors. I will examine structural and biophysical properties of Zelda, test its propensity to undergo liquid-liquid phase separation and explore the consequences it has for its interactions with its binding partners and its function. The in vitro approach will be combined with in vivo experiments in Drosophila using tagged wild-type and mutant variants. This combined approach will give us novel insights into mechanisms governing zygotic genome activation as well as general rules of transcriptional regulation. Local clustering of enhancer and promoters emerges as a general principle of transcriptional regulation. Understanding the mechanisms that could drive formation of these micro-domains is therefore of paramount importance, not only to basic biology, but also for development of new strategies to treat diseases caused by transcriptional dysregulation.
Influence of steam supply parameters variation on performances of steam accumulator system

Analysis of off-design performance on the steam accumulator charge system is a key link in the investigation into the system control strategy.A mathematic model for each system component was established based on variable-mass system thermodynamics and viscous fluid mechanics theories.Then,a solution was proposed to calculate the system model.The adjustment of the joint operating parameter(the charging steam flow) resulted in obtaining the system performance parameters which met the requirement of steam supply.On this basis,the influence of steam supply parameters variation on the system performances was simulated and calculated.The result shows that the temperature of steam supply has less influence on the system performance,while a decrease in the steam pressure will lead to failing to meet the requirement of steam supply under the original control strategy.

Automated Region-Based Vehicle Conflict Detection Using Computer Vision Techniques

An approach for vehicle conflict analysis based on three-dimensional (3-D) vehicle detection is presented. Techniques for quantitative conflict measurements often use a point trajectory representation for vehicles. More accurate conflict measurement can be facilitated with a region-based vehicle representation instead. This paper describes a computer vision approach for extracting vehicle trajectories from video sequences. The method relied on a fusion of background subtraction and feature-based tracking to provide a three-dimensional (3-D) cuboid representation of the vehicle. Standard conflict measures, including time to collision and postencroachment time, were computed with the use of the 3-D cuboid vehicle representations. The use of these conflict measures was demonstrated on a challenging data set of video footage. Results showed that the region-based representation could provide more precise calculation of traffic conflict indicators compared with approaches based on a point representation.
Impact of stepwise introduction of smoke-free legislation on population rates of acute myocardial infarction deaths in Flanders, Belgium

Many studies demonstrated a decline in hospital admissions for cardiovascular diseases after the implementation of a smoking ban, but evidence for reductions in cardiovascular mortality is more limited. In Belgium, smoke-free legislation was implemented in different phases. Public places and most workplaces became smoke-free in January 2006, whereas the legislative ban on smoking in restaurants was introduced in January 2007. These successive steps in legislation provided us the opportunity to investigate possible stepwise changes in fatal acute myocardial infarction (AMI) rates.Data on all AMI deaths of 30 years of age or older in Flanders (Belgium) between 2000 and 2009 (n=38 992) were used. Age-standardised AMI death rates were analysed with segmented Poisson regression allowing for secular trends, seasonality, temperature, PM10 and influenza.An immediate decrease in AMI mortality rates was observed in January 2006 (smoking ban at work). The effect was highest for women younger than 60 years of age (-33.8%; 95% CI -49.6 to -13.0), compared with an effect of -13.1% (95% CI -24.3 to -0.3) for male counterparts. Estimates for the elderly (≥60 years) were -9.0% (95% CI -14.1 to -3.7) for men and 7.9% (95% CI -13.5 to -2.0) for women. An additional effect of the smoking ban in restaurants was observed for elderly men, with an annual slope change of -3.8% (95% CI -6.5 to -1.0) after 1 January 2007.Smoking ban interventions are associated with reductions in the population rate of myocardial mortality, with public health gains even before and during the middle-aged period of life.
Estimation of Fluoride Concentration in Vegetations in Ikot Abasi, Akwa Ibom State,Nigeria

A survey of fluoride contents of certain fodder plants like cassava, bitterleaf and  wire grass at close locations around aluminium smelting company in Ikot Abasi , Nigeria, were conducted in July , October and November , 2010 and July, October and November, 2011 .The fluoride contents of the vegetations obtained in this study were compared with the background fluoride content in vegetations determined elsewhere around the aluminium smelting plant before the commissioning of the plant . From the results of this study, the fluoride contents in vegetations considered were far higher than the background fluoride contents of less than 2 mg/kg . Fluoride content in cassava increased by 200 % , bitterleaf increased by 300 % in 2010, and fluoride content in cassava increased by more than 1000 % , wire grass increased by 200 % and bitterleaf increased by 500 % in 2011. As has been suggested that the daily fluoride intake should not exceed 10 mg per person, there is the need to set up bio-indicator systems for routine monitoring of fluoride emissions and control around the smelting plant. Keywords : Fluoride , Aluminium smelting, Vegetation, Fluorosis , Phytotoxic.

Inorganic therapeutic nanoparticles for osteoporosis

The aim of the proposed interdisciplinary project is to design, make and test novel nanoparticles that will have direct and rapid impact in osteoporosis. The unique aspect of these injectable nanoparticles is that they will deliver active therapy locally, to where it is needed, and that the cargo is not a conventional drug, but a sustained delivery of a combination of active inorganic cations and rare earth nanoparticles. Certain cations can promote bone growth and inhibit resorption and nanoceria can scavenge free radicals that would otherwise accelerate osteoporosis. Systemic concentrations of active agents will be much smaller that caused by taking oral drugs. Delivery will be sustained because it is controlled by the dissolution rate of biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles, which will improve over biodegradable polymer capsules that often deliver a burst release of their drug cargo. Beyond the project, long-term impact could include slowing metastasis of tumours into bone (e.g. breast cancer to the sternum). The biodegradable mesoporous silica nanoparticles will be synthesised by sol-gel, while the nanoceria will be synthesized by co-precipitation method and microwave treatment and entrapped within the silica network. Key aspects will be: incorporation of active ions and nanoceria within monodispersed silica nanoparticles of controlled size; ensuring the particles remain dispersed in body fluid (control of surface chemistry); testing efficacy in cell co-culture (uptake and cell stimulation) and investigating the effect of the presence of the particles on immune cells. The effect of process variables on composition, particle size, bioactivity, degradation rate, radical scavenger ability and the cellular response will be investigated.
Forms of Sulphur in Some Rapeseed-growing Soils of Assam

Relationship of different forms of sulphur and its availability index with soil properties were investigated in some rapeseed-growing Alfisols of four districts of Assam. The total S content ranged from 268 to 901 mg kg−1 with a mean of 545 mg kg−1 soil. Organic-S constituted the dominant form (65.9 to 79.6%) of total S followed by non-sulphate-S (14.9 to 27.4%). Water soluble S (3.37 to 6.24%), available S (5.56 to 6.25%) and adsorbed-S (0.95 to 2.95%) constituted only small fractions of the total S, respectively. All forms of sulphur gave significantly and positively correlated with organic-C and clay content. Significant negative correlation of total, organic, water soluble and heat soluble–S and positive correlation of non-SO4-S with Fed revealed formation of S-compounds with free iron oxides upon release of S during mineralization of the S-bearing minerals. Organic-C had the most dominant influence on sulphur availability index (r = 0.629**) followed by free iron oxide content (Fed) (r = -4.439**) and CEC (r = 0.434**) in these soils. Based on the available S content, only 6.7 to 8.3% of the soil exhibited S deficiency.

A comparison of prevalence estimates for selected health indicators and chronic diseases or conditions from the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System, the National Health Interview Survey, and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey, 2007–2008

To compare the prevalence estimates of selected health indicators and chronic diseases or conditions among three national health surveys in the United States.Data from adults aged 18 years or older who participated in the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=807,524), the National Health Interview Survey (NHIS) in 2007 and 2008 (n=44,262), and the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) during 2007 and 2008 (n=5871) were analyzed.The prevalence estimates of current smoking, obesity, hypertension, and no health insurance were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.7% to 3.9% (relative differences: 2.3% to 20.2%). The prevalence estimate of poor or fair health from BRFSS was similar to that from NHANES, but higher than that from NHIS. The prevalence estimates of diabetes, coronary heart disease, and stroke were similar across the three surveys, with absolute differences ranging from 0.0% to 0.8% (relative differences: 0.2% to 17.1%).While the BRFSS continues to provide invaluable health information at state and local level, it is reassuring to observe consistency in the prevalence estimates of key health indicators of similar caliber between BRFSS and other national surveys.
