Galileo-Assisted robot to tackle the weed rumex obtusifolius and increase the profitability and sustainability of dairy farming

Agriculture provides humans with necessary food and raw materials, but its environmental impact is unacceptably high. Much effort is underway to make agriculture more sustainable, for example through precision agriculture or organic agriculture. In all of agriculture, controlling weeds is a major issue. Weed control with herbicides leads to a large environmental impact. Manual weed control leads to back-breaking labour, high labour costs, and difficulties of finding sufficient labour.
The main objective of GALIRUMI is to deliver robot weeding for herbicide-free weed control in dairy farming. Robotic weeding will reduce the environmental impact of dairy farming by eliminating herbicide use and reducing exposure of farm workers to herbicides. It will also remove an important obstacle for dairy farmers to switch to organic production, thereby contributing to an increase in production of organically produced milk and higher incomes for farmers.
GALIRUMI will develop and demonstrate a number of innovative technologies in weed detection, weed degradation, autonomous vehicles and robot-as-a-service for precision dairy farming based on precise navigation provided by EGNSS. Several areas of expertise are needed for successful development of practical robotic weeding:
•	EGNSS
•	Computer vision for weed detection
•	Construction of farm machinery
•	Providing services to farmers
•	Weed science
•	Dairy research
The robotic weeding control system is the end product that GALIRUMI is aiming to put into practice and commercialise, proposed by dock weeding as a service either by:
•	Laser defoliation system using small robot that requires frequent application in the field. 
•	Medium sized robot system with an electrocution tool that requires single season application in the field. 
GALIRUMI will significantly reduce manual labour for weeding, weed management cost, damage to grassland from the application of herbicide, impact of dairy farming on the environment and dairy cow discomfort
El imperio del Gaviotín Chico. Política y naturalezas en el litoral de Atacama

El caso del gaviotín chico (sternula lorata) y del megapuerto de Mejillones, inaugurado en 2002 (Antofagasta, Chile), constituyen un ejemplo paradigmático, simple y desconcertante a la vez, de las nuevas formas de gobernanza de la naturaleza que estructuran los paisajes contemporáneos del desierto de Atacama. El artículo retrasa la historia reciente del complejo portuario Mejillones y de sus ocho centrales térmicas a carbón y se detiene en la estrategia de conservación del gaviotín chico, principal vehículo de mitigación ambiental implementado por las principales empresas del Puerto y por el Municipio. Se estudia el proceso de construcción social del gaviotín chico desde el punto de vista de su relación a los otros habitantes humanos y no-humanos de la bahía de Mejillones. Así, mientras los nidos de gaviotín chico se multiplican en las áreas de conservación, todo a su alrededor ha sido declarado Zona de Sacrificio Ambiental. El caso del gaviotín chico constituye un archivo inesperado y una crónica posible sobre los últimos veinte años del litoral del desierto de Atacama: aquí, en la Bahía de Mejillones, donde anida del gaviotín chico, donde los perros cazan mar adentro y los jotes duermen en centrales a carbón, no rigen más las leyes de la naturaleza, porque hay otras naturalezas en formación.
Enabling Transitivity for Lexical Inference on Chinese Verbs Using Probabilistic Soft Logic

To learn more knowledge, enabling transitivity is a vital step for lexical inference. However, most of the lexical inference models with good performance are for nouns or noun phrases, which cannot be directly applied to the inference on events or states. In this paper, we construct the largest Chinese verb lexical inference dataset containing 18,029 verb pairs, where for each pair one of four inference relations are annotated. We further build a probabilistic soft logic (PSL) model to infer verb lexicons using the logic language. With PSL, we easily enable transitivity in two layers, the observed layer and the feature layer, which are included in the knowledge base. We further discuss the effect of transitives within and between these layers. Results show the performance of the proposed PSL model can be improved at least 3.5% (relative) when the transitivity is enabled. Furthermore, experiments show that enabling transitivity in the observed layer benefits the most.

Roadmaps for energy

Within the Roadmaps for Energy (R4E) project the partners will work together to develop a new type of energy strategy through visions and roadmaps for the 8 partner cities, in co-creation with local stakeholders. The stakeholders include the benefactors of the strategy, such as citizens, as well as relevant research and industry partners, to offer a clear picture of the future potential of the city.
In the R4E project a four step process is applied. The FIRST step sets the ambitions for the project. The ambitions of the participating cities on sustainable energy and Smart Cities in general are set, as well as the partner cities' choice for 2 focus areas within Smart Energy Savings: 1.Smart Buildings, 2. Smart Mobility or 3. Smart Urban Spaces. The SECOND step is to develop desired scenarios for the cities for the selected focus areas. During the THIRD step the roadmap will be created, existing and future technologies and other developments will be identified, which enable the realization of the desired future scenarios. Opportunities and developments will be plotted on a timeline to provide insight in the required steps and milestones towards the favoured scenarios. The roadmaps will contain generic parts that are common for the partner cities, as well as specific parts that cater for the specific context of the cities. During the final and FOURTH step a project portfolio will be generated with new projects and initiatives to reach the ambitions, visions and roadmaps of the cities. This portfolio provides an overview of individual and joint projects and includes a cross-city learning plan and a financial plan.   
At the end of the project each partner city will each have 2 future scenarios, 2 roadmaps and a portfolio of individual and joint projects to implement sustainable energy policies and measures. Also the visioning and roadmapping capacities within the municipalities are developed to spur future development and implementation of innovative energy solutions.
Light Concentrator System for Precision Thermal Processes

An example light concentrator system for precision thermal processes includes a stabilizing base and a structure attached to the stabilizing base. The structure includes support arms. An azimuth control rotates the structure. A primary solar collector on the support arms is rotatable about two axes based on various positions of the sun throughout the day. Elevation actuators adjust an angle of the primary solar collector relative to position of the sun. Collector distancing actuators adjust distance of the primary solar collector toward and away from the sun. A variety of Thermal Processing Units (TPUs) are configured for a specific process or set of processes implementing concentrated solar energy from the primary solar collector at the receiver plane. Position of the spot can be moved on a fixed receiver plane through translation of the lens relative to the support arms or through rotation of a redirecting mirror.
Modelling the impact over time - consumer transport [Chapter 9]

This chapter considers a few simple scenarios that introduce some potential scale to the input-output multiplier model analyses in Chapters 3, 4 and 6 in considering the potential wider economic impacts of a projected shift to a hydrogen economy. Again, focus is mainly on the case of private transportation and the shift from petrol/diesel (refined fossil fuels) to hydrogen, with the supply chain of the latter proxied by those of the existing UK gas and/or electricity supply sectors. The key characteristic of these proxies is the markedly stronger up-stream supply chain linkages within the UK economy as compared to the more import-intensive refined fuel supply industry. A central conclusion of the modelling work in this paper is that if a future hydrogen sector shares this characteristic, net positive impacts on the UK economy as whole are likely when/if private transportation transitions to the use of hydrogen as a fuel source.
Graph-based pattern-oriented, context-sensitive source code completion

Code completion helps improve developers' programming productivity. However, the current support for code completion is limited to context-free code templates or a single method call of the variable on focus. Using software libraries for development, developers often repeat API usages for certain tasks. Thus, a code completion tool could make use of API usage patterns. In this paper, we introduce GraPacc, a graph-based, pattern-oriented, context-sensitive code completion approach that is based on a database of such patterns. GraPacc represents and manages the API usage patterns of multiple variables, methods, and control structures via graph-based models. It extracts the context-sensitive features from the code under editing, e.g. the API elements on focus and their relations to other code elements. Those features are used to search and rank the patterns that are most fitted with the current code. When a pattern is selected, the current code will be completed via a novel graph-based code completion algorithm. Empirical evaluation on several real-world systems shows that GraPacc has a high level of accuracy in code completion.
Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis (Madelung’s disease)✰✰Please cite this article as: Ikumi-Shibasaki I, Ikuo-Shibasaki H, Nakamoto TS, Baccan FS, Raposo LS. Multiple symmetrical lipomatosis (Madelung's disease). Braz J Otorhinolaryngol. 2014;80:90–1.

A male patient, 47 years old, white, without comorbidi-ties, alcoholic for 20 years, presented to this unit with a complaint of bulging in the bilateral supraclavicular region, painless, which had been progressively growing for the past five years.At physical examination, he showed good overall status, with bilateral supraclavicular mass of soft consistency, pain -less, measuring 10 × 6 cm to the left and 12 × 8 cm to the right (Fig. 1A). The computed tomography (CT) confirmed the presence of a symmetrical supraclavicular mass, whose density was compatible with fat (Fig. 1C). The mass was sur-gically removed, and the anatomopathological analysis of the specimen evidenced the presence of lipomatosis (Figs. 1D, 1E, 1F). To date, the patient has progressed well with-out recurrence, and outpatient follow-up has been main-tained (Fig. 1B).
Co-Translational chaperone action at the single-molecule level

The mechanism of protein translation by ribosomes has been the focus of recent single molecule investigations. Understanding translation at a single-molecule level is of particular interest to the life sciences and relevant for various degenerative diseases. Although protein translation and folding are well studied subjects, cotranslational folding has been proven difficult to observe. How proteins adopt their native structure with efficient fidelity while being synthesized by the ribosome remains largely unexplored. Using optical tweezers we recently measured the mechanics of synthesis and simultaneous folding in real-time, in the absence of chaperones. We found that cotranslational folding occurs at predictable sequence locations, exerting forces on the nascent polypeptide chain. We showed that transient pauses of translation occur in particular locations along the protein sequence, facilitating native secondary structure formation. Several crucial mechanistic questions concerning the effects of chaperones on co-translational folding remain unanswered: How do the chaperones trigger factor (TF), the major bacterial heat shock protein 70 (Hsp70/DnaK) and the GroEL/ES chaperonin system affect cotranslational protein folding? Do they affect the translation rate? What effect do the chaperones have on initial hydrophobic collapse? When and how often do they (un)bind? How do these chaperones assure reliable and fast native folding during protein synthesis? Here, I propose a combined optical tweezers and laser scanning confocal microscopy study to investigate the effects of chaperones on cotranslational folding in real-time, using the host's instruments, chaperones and collaboration network, as well as my previously developed cotranslational assay and collaboration network. The group of Prof. S. J. Tans at AMOLF with its expertise and experience in single-molecule chaperone investigations is ideally suited for me to pursue this study of cotranslational chaperone activity.
Inish mini for on-site rapid detection of bacteria in beer directly from the tap

Cellix's goal is to launch the INISH MINI-BAR; a new low-cost, portable, rapid diagnostic device for fast and reliable detection of bacteria in beer directly from the tap enabling easy continuous monitoring of beer for contamination.  At present, breweries have no control over the quality of draught beer delivered to their customers as the existing ATP luminometer test is too time-consuming to be adopted as part of routine quality control programs.  Data now show that revenues of beer sales and profits for breweries are directly correlated to the quality of beer delivered to the customer with revenues affected by as much as 10%.  With a market value of ~€209 billion, it is easy to understand why quality control of beer at the tap is now a high priority for breweries.  

Target customers are breweries such as Heineken, Carlsberg and AB InBev where the end-users are the breweries’ trade operators, whose job it is to service and clean beer taps and lines in bars and restaurants.  INISH MINI-BAR has a cost per test of <€1 vs. >€7 for the ATP luminometer test.  This can potentially save breweries ~€1.9M per region enabling them to implement a rigorous quality control program which can boost their profits.  This product development enables Cellix to open up a new market in field based testing.  Cellix’s aim is to scale up revenue to ~€28M by Year 5 of market introduction resulting in the creation of an additional 82 jobs.

Expanding the gospel according to matthew: continuity and change in early gospel literature

My fellowship project, ‘Expanding the Gospel according to Matthew: Continuity and Change in Early Gospel Literature’, takes an integrative approach to early Christian literature that intervenes in ongoing debates about textual continuity and change. Recent scholarship has challenged conventional conceptions of Gospels as stable texts, pointing to porous constellations of Gospel material in the first centuries of the Common Era. This renewed critical attention disrupts reductive analytical frames and invites fresh questions. Nonetheless, emphasis on fluidity risks concomitant fragmentation, obscuring connections between diverse instances of Gospel tradition. Both continuity and change characterized early Gospel literature. My project addresses this tension through a rigorous reception-historical study of the Gospel according to Matthew. Matthew is a fruitful locus of investigation because of its centrality to Gospel scholarship and because it is richly attested in early expansions. Matthew takes many textual forms. This diversity stands in tension with the bibliographic continuity that underlies common-sense notions of ‘Matthew’ as a recognizable body of material. But, I argue, these diverse forms express the possibilities, the DNA, of Matthew as a work over time. By attending both to the diverse ways in which Matthew expanded and to underlying patterns uniting these various instances, the project advances scholarship on Matthew. The method and results of this project will enrich broader conversations about the production and reception of early Christian literature. My project will result in a completed book manuscript, two articles submitted to top-tier journals, and other scholarly communications. The project will contribute to Oxford’s vibrant interdisciplinary research environment and advance my development as an early career researcher, laying a foundation for future scholarly excellence.
Mixotrophy in marine microalgae for renewable biomass production

Diatoms are unicellular eukaryotic algae (microalgae) and one of the most common and diverse type of marine phytoplankton. Thanks to a flexible cell metabolism, they dominate in environmental conditions normally unfavorable for photosynthesis, i.e. freezing seawater, low light intensity and short photoperiod. Moreover, diatoms are able to synthesize storage lipids (20-50% of cell dry weight) that can be used for production of renewable biomass and high-value fatty acids. However, the success of these microalgae as feedstock depends on lowering the production cost. The proposed project aims to develop mixotrophic cultivation (i.e. the simultaneous use of light and carbon dioxide for photosynthesis and organic carbon for respiration) to maximize growth and outdoor productivity for selected strains from the Swedish west coast. The focus will be on the bloom-forming coastal diatom Skeletonema marinoi (S. marinoi) whose sequence annotation is ongoing, and the recent knowledge on mixotrophic growth of the model diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum will be employed. The main objectives will be: i) using the bloom-forming S. marinoi to better understand mixotrophic metabolism in diatoms; ii) exploring the optimal mixotrophic conditions for enhanced productivity of S. marinoi; iii) investigating the potential industrial applications of S. marinoi when cultivated under mixotrophy. To achieve these objectives, an interdisciplinary approach including computational, biophysical, analytical, biotechnological and biological methods will be employed. A mixotrophic outdoor cultivation of marine microalgae in the dynamic climate of the Swedish west coast could provide a higher total production of renewable biomass for industry.
THE IMPACT OF COMMODITY TRANSACTION TAX ON FUTURES TRADING IN INDIA: AN EX-ANTE ANALYSIS

Trading in commodity derivatives on exchange platforms is an instrument to achieve price discovery and better price-risk management besides helping the macroeconomy with better resource allocation. In the 2008–2009 budget, the Indian government proposed to impose a commodity transaction tax (CTT) amounting to 0.017% of trading value. In this context, we examine the relationship between trading activity, volatility and transaction cost for five most traded commodities in India. Results suggest that there exists a negative relationship between transaction cost and liquidity and a positive relationship between transaction cost and volatility. Further, the results of structural model support the results of VAR analysis. Therefore, if the government imposes CTT, it would lead to higher volatility and lower trading activity affecting market efficiency and liquidity.
