The role of functional redundancy on stability mechanisms in multi-level ecosystem processes face to climatic extremes

The present proposal, SMILE, aims to answer core questions on the current climatic and biodiversity crisis. Together with Dr. Francesco de Bello, a prominent authority on functional ecology and biodiversity, at the CIDE-CSIC, Spain, the applicant, Dr. Felícia M. Fischer, seeks to understand how biodiversity responds to extreme climatic events and how this response affects multiple ecosystem functions. For so, SMILE will explore the role of key aspects of the biological communities in terms of functional traits on the resistance and resilience of natural processes and the provision of multiple ecosystem functions connected to various ecosystem services. Two approaches, one using large-scale datasets of permanent plots, and another, within an extensive biodiversity experiment in controlled conditions, will allow testing the effect of functional redundancy within biological communities (i.e. multiple species with similar ecological functions but different environmental preferences) over the ecological stability (insurance hypothesis). SMILE will rely on cutting edge quantitative methods for accessing and testing the role biodiversity to buffer extreme climatic events. It will also count on a transdisciplinary approach to evaluate multifunctionality, involving the fields of climatology, community ecology, functional ecology, soil biology and biochemistry, carbon and water cycles, among others, with promising applications to conservation. For so, SMILE will involve a large multidisciplinary and multinational collaboration network. Moreover, the project is well aligned with the priorities and themes promoted by the Europe 2020 strategies and the Horizon 2020 program, as it can have important role for restoration of degraded lands, and their maintenance. Communication and dissemination will be, thus, a key priority of the project. The execution of SMILE will be key to enhance the applicant`s career, improving her theoretical, methodological, and overall operational skills.
The history of new media in turkey: radio, television, and mobile devices

When radio was first introduced in Turkey in the 1920s, people considered this new medium an alien technology that promoted Western imperialism. In the 2000s, however, the Western origins of digital technologies—as the new media of the present—went unnoticed and they were mostly welcomed as new venues for expressing upward mobility, class distinction, and alternative political opinions. These shifting public responses to new media forms in countries such as Turkey—that are never fully “Western”—have received little attention from media scholars, who mostly trace similar histories in Western contexts. Filling this lacuna in interdisciplinary media studies, this project examines the changing relationship of technology to global, class, and gender inequalities since Turkey’s foundation as a nation-state in the 1920s to the current era. By specifically analyzing the country’s course from a nationalist and developmentalist economy to neoliberalization, the project addresses two particular questions: 1) As new political economic conditions transform gender, class based, and global inequalities, how do these newly reframed hierarchies make visible a medium’s novelty? 2) How does this perceived novelty inform the ways that lower and middle classes, different gender groups, and state officials use new technologies to challenge or reproduce inequalities? The study combines participant observation with archival research and comparatively examines the citizens’ and the state officials’ reactions to new media forms in three periods: radio in the 1920s, television in the 1950s, and mobile devices in the 2000s. As the first comprehensive study on the history of new media forms in a nation-state such as Turkey—that is at the intersection of Europe and the Middle East—my work highlights how technological novelty is constructed in relation to global and national hierarchies. It also shows that not only inventors but also users play a key role in creating technological newness.
Clause Combining in Otomi before and after contact with Spanish

In this contribution, we explore two hypotheses with respect to clause combining. The first one is the assumption that languages with a mainly spoken tradition explicitly code clause relations, both coordination and subordination, to a lesser extent than languages with a long written tradition. And secondly, in case of contact between two such languages, with the latter one in a dominant position, and a sufficient level of bilingualism, we expect the former to borrow both types of relators, and increase the amount of explicit coding. We will investigate our hypotheses on the basis of Otomi, a native language from Mexico, and Spanish, the colonial language which became the official language of that country after its independence.

Community Participation on Water Management; Case Singosari District, Malang Regency, Indonesia

Abstract Instead of being a customer of PDAM, as the local drinking company, in order to get access to piped clean water supply system, there are around 10% of more than 100 million citizens decided to joint participation into a community based water supply system. Hence, the questions are: Why people join, or not join, in the community-based water supply system for access to water? How do social influence processes give effect to their choice to access community-based water supply system? The hypothesis is people with better community ties have ability to organize community-based water supply system. In respect with an empirical research in Singosari district, Malang regency of East Java Province, this research investigates the answers through (i) Centrality in Social Network Analysis which explains social structure of the community and (ii) spatial econometric approach through Spatial Autoregressive (SAR) Probit Model which expresses effects of social interaction among households.
A data base for the Italian residential real estate market

In the real estate appraisal, the principal problem consists in the availability of the prices and the rents bargained, on which to found the forecasts of the prices and the future rents and the appraisal of market value. For the valuation standards, the reference to the real estate market is fundamental in the process of appraisal: to make truthful appraisals doesn’t exist other way that the collection of the true prices whereas they are formed. The study proposes to census the sources of available real estate data and to develop an operational scheme for the punctual collection of the data and for the realization of a data bank with particular reference to one defined real estate reality. To purpose of the study, for a zone of the city was calculated on a  vacancy rate on a sample of urban estate placed in the Municipality of Prato.

Instantaneous road traffic emissions modelling system for cities

IRTEMS aims at developing an instantaneous road traffic emission modelling system for its application at city scale. The final result is a useful and thorough tool to provide accurate city-wide emission results considering European traffic conditions. It will be developed by means of the implementation of an instantaneous traffic emission modelling system with high resolution at city scale. This tool will help to give knowledge-based answers for measures to be implement for a good air quality in the European Union cities taking into account gender dimension and ethical aspects in all steps of the project. For the purpose of the project a 2-year stay in the USA with experts on measuring and modelling emissions is proposed with a 1-year returning phase to an emission and air quality modelling reference group in Europe, located in Madrid. Collaborations with enterprises of the transport sector and other research organizations with expertise on instantaneous traffic emission models are contemplated through the research program. This aspect reinforce the strong inter/multidisciplinary of the project to develop a powerful tool and to provide solutions involving different aspects to generate an important impact on society. On the other hand this ambitious project is a career opportunity that will help to generate new research lines and reinforce an independent position of the researcher through the scientific training activities and complementary skills developed during the action. All the research results and knowledge generated during the project will be openly accessible by scientific publications and several dissemination activities for different target audiences. This will help to involve different sectors on the research activities from the EU, increasing the interest of a wider part of the society. In this case, by contributing to a better air quality in accordance with the targets of the European climate action plan through the analysis of air traffic emissions.
Synthesis and biological evaluation of phaitanthrin congeners as anti-mycobacterial agents

Natural alkaloid, tryptanthrin (indolo[2,1-b]quinazoline-6,12-dione) and its analogues are found to exhibit potent anti-tubercular activity against MDR-TB. A novel class of indolo[2,1-b]quinazolinones have been synthesized to evaluate their anti-mycobacterial activity. Enoyl-acyl carrier protein reductase (InhA) of Mycobacterium tuberculosis is one of the key enzymes and has been validated as an effective anti-microbial target. In silico molecular docking study demonstrates that the synthesized compounds exhibit high affinity for the M. tuberculosis drug target InhA. Phaitanthrin is a natural product, which belongs to a family of tryptanthrin and exhibits structural similarity except at position 6. Phaitanthrin derivatives are prepared by modifying the keto functionality of tryptanthrin. These phaitanthrin congeners are found to display promising anti-tubercular activity.
CEN EN13606 normalisation framework implementation experiences.

Since the approval of the CEN EN13606 norm for the electronic health record communication, a growing interest around the application of this specification has emerged. The main objective of the norm is to serve as a mechanism to achieve the semantic interoperability of clinical data. This will require an effort to use common terminologies, to normalise the clinical knowledge domain and to combine all these formalisations with the existing information systems. This paper presents a methodology and developed tools to reach the seamless semantic interoperability of health data in legacy systems and several study cases where the developed framework has been applied.
A thickness-independent nonlocal shell model for describing the stability behavior of carbon nanotubes under compression

Abstract In this article, a nonlocal Flugge shell model incorporating interatomic potentials is developed to study the buckling behavior of an axially loaded single-walled carbon nanotube (SWCNT). The theory incorporates the relations resulting from establishing a linkage between the strain energy induced in the continuum and the potential energy stored in the atomic bonds, using the so-called Cauchy–Born rule, into the constitutive relations of Eringen’s nonlocal elasticity theory. An exact solution is implemented to solve the set of coupled field equations. In comparison to classical models, the present model provides a much better fit to molecular dynamics (MDs) simulations results and proposes the appropriate value of nonlocal parameter for SWCNTs with simply-supported end conditions. Furthermore, the model developed herein is independent of the nanotube wall thickness and Young’s modulus whose values are scattered in the literature.

Migrations and economic-social changes between Trieste and Capodistria-Koper. The second postwar period in the framework of the twentieth century

This project is logically connected with the initiative “Population movements and social changes in the province of Trieste and in the area of Capodistria-Koper in the second postward period” and aims at completing the research on the sources considered. This initiative aims at examining the wealth of material located at the Historical and Diplomatic Archives of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, at the Ministry of Labour, the Regional Institute for Istrian Culture in Trieste, the Registry Offices in the province of Trieste, ISTAT (Italian National Statistical Institute) and the French National Archives in Paris. Moreover, all data will be cross-referenced with the data deriving from the Slovenian archives. A compared analysis will be carried out on the archives material, studying the sources of memory with the typical methods of oral history. The research and interpretation work is completed by some studies on the migration movements and social-economic changes which have taken place since the end of the nineteenth century. The cooperation and the coordination between the two parties in order to carry out the project are ensured by regular meetings attended by the technical working parties and held at least every three months. Both the intermediate working stages and its final results are discussed during public seminars, where results and methods are compared; they are also dealt with by specific publications. At the end of the project, an international conference will be held about the research programme, in order to submit its results to the local and international scientific community and to the cross-border population; the proceedings of the conference will also be published.
Supporting the interaction of humans and automated vehicles: preparing for the environment of tomorrow

The overall goal of this ETN is to enable rapid and reliable development of safe and user-centred automated vehicles (AVs) for urban environments.Vehicle automation has been identified as a game-changer in transport, promising substantial reductions in road-traffic fatalities while improving mobility. However, the processes to integrate automation in transport have been primarily technology-focussed, with insufficient consideration given to how users both inside and outside of the AVs will interact with AVs.
The main objective of SHAPE-IT is to facilitate the safe, acceptable (and, ideally, desirable) integration of user-centred and transparent AVs into tomorrow’s mixed urban traffic environments, using both existing and new research methods, designing advanced interfaces and control strategies.To realize the objective, the research in this project spans three complementary facets of AV/human factors research: a) understanding the behaviour of different road-users (inside and outside AVs) when interacting with AVs, investigating cognitive processes, predictability, trust, acceptance and safe interaction in initial and long-term AV exposure, b) researching the best design strategies for interfaces used for communication and interaction between AVs and humans (inside and outside AVs), and c) integrating knowledge on human/AV interactions into models to perform prospective mixed traffic AV safety assessments. As AI is a core technology for AV development, this ETN will also seek to integrate knowledge of human factors with that of AI in AV development, reducing the gap between human-factors and AI scientists and AV software developers.The main educational aim of this ETN is to deliver a future generation of human factors researchers with an excellent multidisciplinary (cognitive and behavioural psychology, human-factors, computer science, and engineering) education in human factors experimental and modelling methods, human-AV interaction, safety analysis and AV design.

Crinoids from the Ouarsenis Massif (Algeria) fill the Lower Cretaceous (Berriasian and Valanginian) gap of northern Africa

The Ouarsenis Massif belongs to the Algerian Tell domain, which is considered as the eastern part of the Maghrebian Tethys former margin. The Berriasian-Valanginian Oued Fodda Formation outcropping in the Kef Aïn El Hadjela section, at the foot of the great peak of the Ouarsenis Massif, is composed of marls and laminated and bioturbated limestone alternations. The marl facies reveals diverse microfauna, including crinoids. These latter are represented by: Isocrinida [isocrinids Balanocrinus cf. gillieroni (de Loriol), Percevalicrinus aldingeri Klikushin, Isocrinus? lissajouxi (de Loriol)], Cyrtocrinida [cyrtocrinids (Phyllocrinus sp., Hemibrachiocrinus sp.)], and Roveacrinida gen. indet. sp. indet. [roveacrinids]. All these, with exception of roveacrinids and phyllocrinids, are noted for the first time from Algeria and African continent (southern margin of Tethys in the Maghreb). Knowledge on Cretaceous crinoids formerly described from Algeria is presented. It is also shown that crinoid assemblage and associated invertebrates are typical for relatively shallow, distal depositional setting situated below storm wave base. Le massif de l’Ouarsenis appartient au domaine du Tell algérien qui est considéré comme l’extrémité orientale de l’ancienne marge de la Téthys maghrébine. La Formation d’Oued Fodda (Berriasien-Valanginien) affleurant sur la coupe du Kef Aïn El Hadjela, au pied du grand pic du massif de l’Ouarsenis, est constituée d’alternances de marnes et de calcaires laminés et bioturbés. Les faciès marneux contiennent une microfaune diversifiée, comportant des crinoïdes. Ces derniers sont représentés par : Balanocrinus cf. gillieroni (de Loriol), Percevalicrinus aldingeri Klikushin, Isocrinus? lissajouxi (de Loriol), Phyllocrinus sp., Hemibrachiocrinus sp., et Roveacrinida. Tous ici, à l’exception des rovéacrinides et phyllocrinides, sont rapportés pour la première fois en Algérie et sur le continent africain (marge méridionale de la Téthys au Maghreb). Nous exposons l’état des connaissances actuelles sur les crinoïdes crétacés décrits jusqu’alors en Algérie. Nous montrons également que l’assemblage de crinoïdes et les invertébrés associés sont caractéristiques d’un environnement de dépôt distal, relativement peu profond, localisé sous la limite d’action des vagues de tempête (« SWB »).
