METHODS AND SYSTEMS WITH ESTIMATED SYNCHRONIZATION BETWEEN MODULAR DOWNHOLE LOGGING SYSTEM MODULES

A modular downhole logging system includes a transmitter module having a local frequency, wherein the transmitter module transmits interrogation signals into a formation based on the local frequency. The downhole system also includes a receiver module axially-spaced from the transmitter module and that receives response signals corresponding to the interrogation signals, wherein the receiver module includes sampling logic and sync estimation logic. The sync estimation logic is configured to perform sync estimation operations including estimating the local frequency of the transmitter module based on analysis of response signal Fourier transform results corresponding to different frequencies. The sampling logic/clock is configured to sample the response signals based on the estimated local frequency of the transmitter module, wherein a processor derives formation property values using the sampled response signals.

Sustainable land-use

Land is a finite resource and the way it is used is one of the principal drivers of environmental change. Increasing land take affects fertile agricultural land, puts biodiversity at risk, increases the risk of flooding and water scarcity and contributes to both the causes and effects of global warming. Moreover, the effects of land take differ depending on the value, quality and functionality of the land.The main objective of this service on sustainable land-use is to build on existing key relevant studies and projects and suggest measures on how sustainable land use can be promoted and how land-take, soil sealing and urban sprawl can be avoided, reduced and compensated in Europe, its cities and regions. The starting hypothesis is that a sustainable use of land would entail that compact and denser urban development would lead to less need for transport, less energy use and more open spaces enhancing the quality of life thus generating benefits and requiring less costs
A diagnostic device for personalized determination of vitamin b6 status and health

Vitamin B6 is an essential nutrient and part of a well-balanced diet. However, B6 deficiency is often observed in elderly people, diabetes patients and alcoholics and associated with higher rates of cardiovascular disease, stroke and cancer. All these risk populations need a stringent and continuous monitoring of B6 levels. At present B6 detection systems suffer from limited speed, scope, convenience and reliability. These tests require a medical doctor as well as external laboratories with expensive and specialized equipment for analysis increasing the overall costs. We here develop a customized assay for vitamin B6 detection with a desired application as reliable, cheap and easy-to-use point-of-care device. This assay system, termed B6VitaStat, is based on the direct monitoring of cofactor binding into diverse enzyme active sites which will be performed in erythrocytes drawn from blood. Key to B6VitaStat is a tailored probe which mimics the structure of the cofactor. This probe is equipped with a recognition tag allowing to visualize binding to B6-dependent enzymes. The less B6 is bound, the stronger the signal, the higher the overall deficiency. This principle will be incorporated in an easy-to-use device that is based on an antibody printed microarray hallmarked by its cheap and reproducible production. The robust array can be used world-wide including developing countries with less pronounced medical infrastructure. The B6VitaStat team combines complementary expertise including chemistry, engineering and entrepreneurship, which will provide a basis for the envisioned commercialization. Given that B6VitaStat will be the first device of this class we estimate a significant cost reduction compared to current clinical procedures. Overall, we aim to introduce a new device for constant monitoring B6 vitamin status in risk patients and provide a cheap, easy-to-use and reliable method suited for all kinds of applications including those in less-developed countries.

MOBILAB

"This project is part of the plan GRAIES LAB": The main objectiv of MobiLab is to develop the accessibility to rural and mountains’ territories for every category of users, sustaining the transition toward a territorial system of mobility demand and supply axed on the modal rebalancing and on the sustainability of moving. To realize these objectives, MobiLab act in an integrated manner on supply and demand of mobility, enforcing e rationalising the offer, experimenting innovative services and acting directly on the cultural model by actions of communication, information, formation and co-creation (with LivingLab’s method), which address to local administrators of programming and of the governance of mobility system, but also to system users (inhabitants, workers, tourists). From the sharing of complementary experiences gained by partners, the cross-border cooperation will allow the development of an integrated system of actions, experimenting innovative services and testing their efficiency from different point of view, creating good practices of reference for the cross-border territory, and for similar contexts.

According to defined challenges of ALCOTRA’s program (intelligent, sustainable and inclusive growth), the strategic objective of the PITER is to make attractive the territory of rural and mountainous areas. Attractive means “endowed with an attraction power”, which “attracts toward one” and which it’s pursue in time. Three factors determine this “attraction power”: capacity to attract, which means an approach system, instruments and actions to define the area, rules and direction for the action; experimentation of services and strategies defined according to real needs of the territory; the capacity to transfer competences and passion. The principal result expected, sustainable on long term period, is the creation of Active Rural, Innovative and Solidarity Generations: make actors of the territory (actual and future) consciousness of the added value of innovation and the networking of opportunities and competencies. The PITER is focused on 5 strategic elements: governance, jobs territory, mobility and services of proximity. Direct beneficiaries of the PITER will be local administrators of the concerned sector and those who are living/working/receiving from the territory. The working method, which represents an added value and a new/original element, is based on an open co-creation approach and of CLLD ans on LivingLabs wich will be activated for each project.
Reuse and recycling of cdw materials and structures in energy efficient prefabricated elements for building refurbishment and construction

The overall goal of the RE4-Project is to promote new technological solutions for the design and development of structural and non-structural pre-fabricated elements with high degree of recycled materials and reused structures from partial or total demolition of buildings. The developed technology will aim at energy efficient new construction and refurbishment, thus minimizing environmental impacts. The RE4-Project targets the demonstration of suitable design concepts and building elements produced from CDW in an industrial environment, considering perspective issues for the market uptake of the developed solutions. The technical activities will be supported by LCA and LCC analyses, certification and standardization procedures, demonstration activities, professional training, dissemination, commercialisation and exploitation strategy definition, business modelling and business plans. 
The overarching purpose is to develop a RE4-prefabricated  energy-efficient building concept that can be easily assembled and disassembled for future reuse, containing up to 65% in weight of recycled materials from CDW (ranging from 50% for the medium replacement of the mineral fraction, up to 65% for insulating panels and concrete products with medium mineral replacement coupled with the geopolymer binder). The reusable structures will range from 15-20% for existing buildings to 80-90% for the RE4-prefabricated building concept.
Computer-based cognitive rehabilitation research in a military treatment facility: Recruitment, compliance, and lessons learned

Evidence-based approaches to cognitive rehabilitation are limited; however, new technologies such as brain-training computer programs provide opportunities for novel interventions.This paper describes a randomized controlled training study in a military treatment facility with service members who had combat-related cognitive symptoms. It examines challenges in study design and implementation, and provides "lessons learned" with proposed solutions.Participants were randomly assigned to one of two 6-week computer-based cognitive training (CBCT) programs or a treatment-as-usual (TAU) control group. Feasibility assessments included reasons for consent refusal, compliance, and drop-out rates.The intended sample size for the study was 114 participants before attrition. Of 291 patients referred over 2.5 years, 120 were eligible, 38 consented to participate, and 18 completed the study. Forty-two percent of the participants assigned to CBCT groups completed the required 30 sessions in 6.5 to 32 weeks. Study-design factors that affected enrollment and compliance included eligibility restrictions, lack of a computer-based control condition, and inflexible scheduling.Successful implementation of a high-dose computer-based clinical trial will require design changes such as expanded inclusion criteria, control by sham computer program or wait-list, dosing flexibility, and web-based options.
Pilot project for the setting-up of a cross-border farm network to implement a pattern of direct sale of quality agricultural produce

The agricultural sector has voiced the need to differentiate the sources of income by increasing the number of jobs, improving quality and the supply capacity as well as the marketing of agricultural produce, making the producer-consumer chain as short as possible, and favouring the direct relationship with the final consumer. This project aims at setting up a cross-border network of firms, which adopt a quality protocol in the supply and the direct sale of agricultural produce, obtained with low environmental impact techniques, in order to improve the marketing and the penetration even in those markets that are not part of the programme area. This group of firms will therefore be more easily recognizable to final consumers, through an effective and targeted multimedial communication. Moreover, the project aims at promoting new techniques of corporate management, in direct sales carried out within a cross-border network of farms which can ensure a synergic action, even from the logistic point of view. The initiative intends to professionally qualify and raise the awareness of farmers, with regard to the potential cross-border network based on the quality improvement, health and safety of the products and on a sustainable management; this will result in innovative processes and common services for the firms of the primary sector.
Innovative and sustainable Transport and connections between ports and logistics platforms

This project arises from a common problem: the high level of noise pollution that affects the urban areas located between ports and logistics platforms. The general objective is to develop a cross-border strategy to reduce noise pollution in these areas through the adoption of traffic flow regularisation models to be applied to the land movement of goods. Noise pollution in these areas comes not only from port activities, but also from related logistics activities. TRIPLO will tackle the challenge of noise management by focusing on these highly populated areas exposing a high number of people to the risk of acoustic pollution. The project intends to propose an innovative approach. It will gather specific linguistic parameters to evaluate the exposed population’s perception of the phenomenon. It will also collect the usual physical parameters, through low-cost monitoring networks in 3 pilot areas (2 IT, 1 FR), affording real-time acoustic monitoring and the production of live noise maps, and integrate them with with the linguistic data. The most appropriate ITS solutions will be identified based on these data, in addition to complementary measures to reduce noise pollution. A Joint Strategic Plan will collect these results, one of TRIPLO’s primary outcomes. Strategies and solutions will be more effective thanks to the participation of the diversified key actors making up the TRIPLO partnership. The project’s sustainability challenge involves a series of awareness-raising initiatives to promote Strategic Plan measures and their inclusion in local governance tools.
Parental cognitions, stress and coping in parents of children with developmental disabilities

The review examines the literature in relation to parental cognitions and their relationship to child behaviour in parents of children with intellectual disability. It is generally recognised that mental health difficulties are at least partly influenced and maintained by cognitive differences and style. A literature search was carried out to identify articles relevant to parental locus of control, self-efficacy and attributions of behaviours in people with intellectual disability. It is argued that there is a need to develop a multidimensional model of parental cognition to fully describe parental cognitions and their relations to child behaviour and parental mental health. Within the empirical paper, parental perceptions of their child’s genetic syndrome were explored using the Common Sense Model of Illness Representations (Leventhal et al., 1980). Associations between parental perceptions, coping behaviours, affect and mental health were explored. Participants completed the Illness Perceptions Questionnaire Revised for Genetic Syndromes, measures of positive and negative affect, anxiety and depression and coping behaviours. Findings provide preliminary support for the hypothesis that the Common Sense Model of Illness Representations can be applied to the caregivers of children with rare genetic syndromes. Findings suggest that illness representations may have important implications for coping strategies and caregiver wellbeing.
Preserving biodiversity from plastics in Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas

The Mediterranean Sea is one of the areas most affected by Marine Litter (ML) in the world. The impacts of ML on marine biota within Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), including endangered species, remain poorly addressed, however it is clear that prevention and mitigation measures are urgently needed. The overall objective of the PlasticBusters MPAs project is to contribute to maintaining biodiversity and preserving natural ecosystems in pelagic and coastal MPAs, by defining and implementing a harmonized approach against ML. The project entails actions that address the whole management cycle of ML, from monitoring and assessment to prevention and mitigation, as well as actions to strengthen networking between and among pelagic and coastal MPAs located in Italy, France, Spain, Croatia, Albania and Greece. This is the first project at basin scale where EU and IPA countries join forces to tackle ML via a coordinated approach in order to: i) diagnose ML impacts on biodiversity in MPAs, including the identification of "ML hotspots"; ii) define and test tailor-made ML surveillance, prevention and mitigation measures in MPAs; iii) develop a common framework of ML actions for Interreg Med regions towards the conservation of biodiversity in Med MPAs. A joint governance plan will be defined through a participatory approach and the concretized commitment of Med MPAs (MoUs) to implement it will result in an increased surface area of habitats supported to attain a better conservation status.
Role of technologies in an energy efficient economy – model-based analysis of policy measures and transformation pathways to a sustainable energy system

REEEM aims to gain a clear and comprehensive understanding of the system-wide implications of energy strategies in support of transitions to a competitive low-carbon EU society. Comprehensive technology impact assessments will target the full integration from demand to supply and from the individual to the entire system. It will further address its trade-offs across society, environment and economy along the whole transition pathway. The strong integration of stakeholder involvement will be a key aspect of the proposal. The assessments performed within REEEM will focus on integrated pathways, which will be clustered and categorised around two focal points: the four integrated challenges of the Integrated Roadmap of the Strategic Energy Technology (SET)-Plan and the five dimensions of the Energy Union. Case studies will further serve to investigate details and highlight issues that cannot be resolved at a European level. A range of outputs will target the specific needs of various stakeholder groups and serve to broaden the knowledge base. These include, among others, Policy Briefs, Integrated Impact Reports, Case Study reports and Focus Reports on economy, society and environment. A focus on technology research, development and innovation will be included through the development of Technology Roadmaps with assessments of the Innovation Readiness Level of technologies. Further, a set of enabling tools will help to disseminate and actively engage stakeholders, including a Stakeholder Interaction Portal, a Pathways Diagnostic Tool and an Energy System Learning Simulation. Access to all work developed and transparency in the process will be guiding principles within this project exhibited by, for example, providing open access to a Pathways Database.
Dynamics, transition states, and timing of bond formation in Diels–Alder reactions

The time-resolved mechanisms for eight Diels–Alder reactions have been studied by quasiclassical trajectories at 298 K, with energies and derivatives computed by UB3LYP/6-31G(d). Three of these reactions were also simulated at high temperature to compare with experimental results. The reaction trajectories require 50–150 fs on average to transverse the region near the saddle point where bonding changes occur. Even with symmetrical reactants, the trajectories invariably involve unequal bond formation in the transition state. Nevertheless, the time gap between formation of the two new bonds is shorter than a C─C vibrational period. At 298 K, most Diels–Alder reactions are concerted and stereospecific, but at high temperatures (approximately 1,000 K) a small fraction of trajectories lead to diradicals. The simulations illustrate and affirm the bottleneck property of the transition state and the close connection between dynamics and the conventional analysis based on saddle point structure.
Design and Implementation of Hybrid Coaching System based on Web Service for College Career Guidance

Recently, a coaching helps individual to lead and maximize performance. Generally there is a face to face coaching at the current spot of education, and the e-coaching is on the rise. And the face-to-face coaching means that coach and the coachee come face to face directly. And, the effective coaching method is required to supply the weakness and to maximize the strength of the e-coaching using the Internet. Accordingly, we are studying a hybrid coaching to overcome the difficulty and the limit of face-to-face coaching and online coaching. In this paper, we design and implement the career coaching system to provide the face-to-face coaching and the e-coaching for coachee based on the Web service on the Internet. We provide the hybrid coaching using Web service based on the Restful and connect with the database based on the Web to save and manage the profiles and the coaching history of the coach and the coachee. Proposed hybrid coaching system for coachee career improves remote accessibility between the coach and the coachee. This system provides the interaction without the limit of the time and the space, and overcomes the limit of the traditional face-to-face coaching on the online environment.
Design Thinking for a Smart Innovation eco-system in Alpine Space

SMEs innovation-oriented services in AS are fragmented and lacking in adaptability towards the specifics of companies of the area and the request of a more sustainable and flexible approach to businesses. Multiple forces – social, technological, competitive-combined with the Alps specificities make today’s challenge for small businesses to adapt and grow even more complex for AS SMEs, already weakened by physical and cognitive distance from innovation centers. _x000D_

The Design Thinking (DT) process can help start a new wave of business innovation through collaboration, new decision making process and more sustainable added value creation without overturn the strong link to the territory that characterizes the companies in this area, combining both technological and non-technological elements. A systemic and strategic vision is missing, which should be created starting from the development of stronger framework conditions for design (www.designpolicy.eu). The opportunity with DesAlps is to create a fertile framework for boosting DT approach on SME services, through the analysis of the impact that it can bring and the creation of a mutual cooperation among intermediaries and policy makers toward this task. SMEs, intermediaries, stakeholders and Policy Makers will benefit from the shared methodologies and will empower the impact of this innovation process thanks also to the connection with S3 of each territory as it will have a thematic approach centered on sustainable living linked to relevant enabling technologies and services in order to maximize the impact on the already existing policies and generation of new ones._x000D_

Risk sharing and real exchange rates: The role of non-tradable sector and trend shocks

Abstract In this paper, we show that the tradable and non-tradable total factor productivity (TFP) processes of the US and Europe have unit roots and can be modeled by a vector error correction model (VECM). Then, we develop a standard two-country and two-good (tradable and non-tradable) DSGE model. Our model implies that using cointegrated TFP processes and including non-tradables help solve the real exchange rate (RER) volatility and risk sharing puzzles. Cointegrated TFP shocks, or trend shocks, generate significant income effects and amplify the mechanisms that produce high RER volatility. Moreover, trend shocks can break the tight link between relative consumption and RER for low and high values of trade elasticity parameters. The non-tradable sector in the model improves the results for the risk sharing significantly.
