Training to complexity: multidisciplinary approaches to rural and mountain sustainable development and conservation for innovative doctoral programmes

CLOE will be an interdisciplinary and inter-sectoral Doctoral Programme developed and coordinated by the University of Genoa, as sole beneficiary, in collaboration with a network of host academic and non-academic organisations. UNIGE will recruit 15 Early Stage Researchers (ESRs, no PhD and less than 4 years FTE research experience), respecting mobility rules of MSCA. CLOE training is focused on  multidisciplinary approaches to mountain and rural sustainable development and conservation starting from historical, environmental and legal perspectives. It will support top-tier ESRs working on 4 closely related topics: mountain areas and heritagisation processes (T1); mountain conservation, cultural landscapes and conflicts (T2); coming back to the mountains (T3); mountain areas and environmental risks (T4). 
The 15 ESRs will be enrolled in 11 doctoral courses involved in CLOE through 2 calls for applications: the first cohort of 7 ESRs will start on November 1, 2021, while the second of 8 ESRs on November 1, 2022. 
A rich and diversified range of training opportunities will allow to broaden the cross-sectoral and interdisciplinary skills of a new generation of early-stage researchers (ESRs) and provide a common ground for their future careers and for new research paths with important implications for sustainable development and environmental and cultural conservation. UniGE, the university of Liguria, with campuses in the major cities of the Region and one of the most important of Northern Italy, is particularly qualified to conduct CLOE due to the previous and on-going projects of the involved supervisors. The doctoral programme will make it possible to network existing doctoral schools that deal with subjects related to mountain areas from different perspectives, and will be the first step in the development of a new Strategic Centre on Mountain and Rural areas (MORA) that will deal with their new centrality.

Sympatric metabolic diversification of experimentally evolved Escherichia coli in a complex environment

Sympatric diversification in bacteria has been found to contravene initial evolutionary theories affirming the selection of the fittest type by competition for the same resource. Studies in unstructured (well-mixed) environments have discovered divergence of an ancestor strain into genomically and phenotypically divergent types growing both on single and mixed energy sources. This study addresses the metabolic diversification in an Escherichia coli population that evolved over ~1,000 generations under aerobic conditions in the nutritional complexity offered by Luria-Bertani (LB) broth. The medium lacked glucose but contained a variety of other resources. Two distinct metabolically-diverged types, coinciding with colony morphologies, were found to dominate the populations. One type was an avid carbohydrate consumer, which could quickly utilize the available (alternative) substrates feeding into glycolysis. The second type was a slow grower, which was able to specifically consume acetate. The capacity to utilize acetate might be providing an advantage to this second type, suggesting an increased capability to deal with adverse conditions that occur in the later stages of growth. The diverged metabolic preferences of the two forms suggested differential and interactive ecological roles within the population. We postulate that these types used different alternative metabolic strategies occupying different niches in a sympatric manner as an outcome of adaptation to the complex environment.
WATER- AND CHEMICAL RECYCLING

Process and equipment for partial but substantial closing of the water and chemical cycle at inter alia automatic automobile washing machines. The wash water, which when used becomes loaded with oil and heavy metals and contains tensides, complexing agents and possibly solvents, is treated by adding breaking and precipitating chemicals, sedimentation and filtration. The main part of water and chemicals can be reused. Fresh water is needed for the final rinsing only.
GASSPRING WHICH AFTER COMPRESSION HAS A TIME DELAYED RETURN TO ITS ORIGINAL LENGTH

The invention consists on the one hand of a cylinder (2) closed at its ends by means of end walls (4, 5) and on the other hand of an enclosed space (10). With a piston (3) capable of axial displacement, the cylinder (2) is divided into two sub-spaces (6, 7). The space (10) communicates with the aforementioned first sub-space (6) via a first openable and closable valve (11a). The second sub-space (7) communicates with the aforementioned first sub-space (6) via a second openable and closable valve (13a). A control device (12) actuates the openable and closable valves (11a, 13a), so that the second valve (13a) is opened when a force (F) acting upon the end of the piston rod (8) has forced the piston (3) in a direction towards the first end wall (4) and into a predetermined position. The second valve (13a) is closed again once pressure equilibrium has been achieved between the sub-spaces (6, 7). The first valve (11a) is opened for a period of sufficient duration to permit pressure equilibrium to be achieved between the second sub-space (7) and the enclosed space (10). After a predetermined period has elapsed after the force (F) acting against the end of the piston rod has ceased to be applied, the aforementioned second valve (13a) opens, when the piston (3) returns to its initial position. Once the piston (3) has reached its initial position, the first valve (11a) is opened.
Divided Pretreatment to Targets and Intentions for Query Recommendation

We propose a query recommendation method called “Divided Pretreatment to Targets and Intentions for Query Recommendation”, which concentrates on the structure, elements and composition of a query. Based on the recognition of query targets and query intentions by a classifying method, the clusters of query intentions are built following the clue of consistent and similar query targets. After that, query recommendations are generated by simple substitution of peer intentions. This method aims to explore a simple and efficient mechanism, which only analyzes and processes query itself and its internal attributes. The experiment demonstrates that, accuracy of “query targets” and “query intentions” recognition is 73.11%, while that of intention clustering reaches 55.67%. The p@1 value of query recommendation gets 57.83%.
The low synaptic release probability in vivo

The release probability, the average probability that an active zone of a presynaptic terminal releases one or more vesicles following an action potential, is tightly regulated. Measurements in cultured neurons or in slices indicate that this probability can vary greatly between synapses, but on average it is estimated to be as high as 0.5. In vivo, however, the size of synaptic potentials is relatively independent of recent history, suggesting that release probability is much lower. Possible causes for this discrepancy include maturational differences, a higher spontaneous activity, a lower extracellular calcium concentration and more prominent tonic inhibition by ambient neurotransmitters during in vivo recordings. Existing evidence thus suggests that under physiological conditions in vivo, presynaptic action potentials trigger the release of neurotransmitter much less frequently than what is observed in in vitro preparations.
Regulating research learning spaces : an ethical-juridical perspective from South African and Canadian contexts

This article explores the need for formal regulations within South African and Canadian higher education institutions' (HEIs) research assistantships in which postgraduate students acquire research knowledge and skills under the supervision of project leaders. While the relationship between research assistants and project leaders is similar to those in other workplaces, the educational and developmental aspects of research assistantships create a unique type of employment relationship that often is predicated on informal practices and subjective perceptions rather than on labour law or ethical standards. The absence of formal regulations, such as a code of professional and ethical conduct specific to research assistantships, therefore, may expose research members to unnecessary challenges. The goal of the article is to address the dearth of literature on legal and ethical standards related to the employment of postgraduate student research assistants and to draw attention to the benefits of formal regulations within research assistantships as research learning spaces.

Politique anti-genre et panique morale au Brésil

En 2018, le député d’extrême droite Jair Bolsonaro a surpris l’opinion publique internationale en étant élu président de la République du Brésil. En utilisant une rhétorique raciste, sexiste, homophobe et antidémocratique, Bolsonaro a réussi à articuler un large front conservateur et d’extrême droite en sa faveur. Cet article analyse une des facettes de cette articulation politique, celle portant sur l’opposition aux expressions de la sexualité en dissonance avec le modèle hétérosexuel. À cette fin, nous utilisons le concept de panique morale pour comprendre les mobilisations à l’encontre de l’exposition QueerMuseu inaugurée en août 2017. L’article utilise l’analyse événementielle comme méthode de recueil des données afin d’identifier les acteurs sociaux impliqués dans la panique morale, leurs tactiques de mobilisation, les arguments qu’ils utilisent, ainsi que les réponses de la société civile et de la classe politique à cette panique morale. L’article vise non seulement à appréhender la pertinence des questions de genre et de diversité sexuelle dans la récente avancée de l’autoritarisme au Brésil, mais aussi à identifier les possibilités et les limites du concept de panique morale en tant qu’outil analytique et empirique en sociologie.

Accessibility, urban form, and property value: A study of Pudong, Shanghai

The effects of metro system development and urban form on housing prices highly depend on the spatial temporal conditions of the urban neighborhoods. However, scholars have not yet comprehensively examined these interactions at a neighborhood-scale. This study assesses metro access, urban form, and property value at both district- and neighborhood-levels. The study area is in Pudong, Shanghai where metro system development coincides with rapid urban growth. 279 neighborhoods are systematically and randomly selected for the district-level investigation and 31 neighborhoods selected from Pudong for neighborhood-level investigation. The analysis of variance shows that metro access is more positively correlated to property price in Pudong. The Pearson correlation, principle component, and ordinary least square regression analyses find that while accessibility attributes have positive influence on housing prices, neighborhood characteristics also exhibit pronounced impact on property price change over time. This study extends our knowledge on how metro system development interacts with land use efficiency; discusses planning policies corresponding to development stage that produce more sustainable urban form.
European nanomedicine characterization laboratory

In order to accelerate the development of the nanomedicine business in Europe, EU-NCL interconnects 8 European and 1 American key reference facilities with a proven expertise in physical, chemical, in vitro and in vivo biological characterisation of nanoparticles for medical applications. The objective is to reach a level of international excellence in nanomedicine characterization for all medical indication, and make it accessible to all organisations developing candidate nanomedicines prior to their submission to the regulatory agencies in order to get the approval for clinical trials and later the marketing authorization. EU-NCL is partnered with the sole international reference facility namely the Nanotechnology Characterisation Lab of the USA to get a faster international harmonization of analytical protocols. EU-NCL is closely connected to national medicine agencies and to the European Medicine Agency in order to permanently adapt its analytical services to the need and requests of the regulators. EU-NCL is designed, organized and operated according to the highest EU regulatory and quality standards in order to provide a full analytical cascade of 42 assays. Within EU-NCL, 6 analytical facilities will offer a Trans National Access to their existing analytical services but they will also develop new or improved analytical assays under the Joint Research Activities in order to keep EU-NCL at the cutting edge of the nanomedicine characterisation. A complementary set of networking activities will make EU-NCL able to deliver to the European academic or industrial scientists the best analytical services they dramatically require for accelerating the industrial development of their candidate nanomedicines. An exploitation and business plan will be proposed at the end of the project in order to submit a sustainable development plan beyond the initial period of 4 years.
S-Wave Velocity Structure in the City of Oued Fodda, Northern Algeria, by Inversion of Rayleigh Wave Ellipticity

The city of Oued Fodda is located in north-central Algeria in the margins of the middle Cheliff basin. This region has suffered several destructive earthquakes, and the strongest was the 1980 El-Asnam earthquake (Ms 7.3). The causative fault of this earthquake is located at about 1 km north of the city of Oued Fodda. It is well known that a good knowledge of the soil characteristics in a city may lead to better evaluate the seismic risk and therefore help to minimize damages in the future. For this purpose, we used ambient vibration data with the application of the horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) method to estimate the soil’s fundamental frequencies (f0) and the corresponding amplitudes (A0). We also applied the random decrement technique method (RayDec) to calculate the ellipticity of the Rayleigh waves. Two measurement campaigns were carried out in the city of Oued Fodda with a set of 102 measurement points. From the visual analysis of the calculated HVSR curves, we divided the study area into four different zones. Thirty Rayleigh wave ellipticity curves were then inverted to characterize the S-wave velocity structures in Oued Fodda city. In the central part of the city, the frequency values (12.5–15 Hz) correspond to the impedance contrast at shallow depth (0–20 m), between the Miocene blue marls (950–1350 m/s) and the ante-Neogene basement (2000–2600 m/s). In the surrounding plain, the frequencies vary between 1.8 and 3.5 Hz, and the existence of a second frequency peak (7.5–11 Hz) is due to the contrast between the Holocene (280–330 m/s) and the Pleistocene (615–710 m/s) deposits.

Extractive continuous ammonia monitoring system

Disclosed are methods and apparatus for treating and analyzing a gas stream to determine the ammonia concentration. A gas stream is continuously monitored to determine the ammonia concentration by extracting gas samples from one or more locations and sending it to a tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy instrument for analysis. By proper placement of sampling probes within a duct, depending on the particular flow patterns that have been determined by suitable modeling, e.g., computational fluid dynamics or cold flow modeling, the valves can be operated manually or by a controller to take samples at predetermined locations within the duct. This will enable taking samples from particular locations, samples representative of the entire cross section, or samples that are an average of a particular cross section. It will be possible by judicious placement of the probes and operation of the valves to map the concentrations of ammonia at a plurality of load settings and will permit continuous control.
Comparison of Thrust Vector Control Scheme for Solid Launch Vehicle Based on Launching Capability Evaluation

The thrust vector control schemes for solid launch vehicle were compared from the view of launching capability.Three multiple-stage solid launch vehicle schemes with different thrust vector control systems were designed,the ascent trajectory of launch vehicle was optimized by combining augmented lagrangian method with Powell method,and the evaluation results of launching capability were provided.Research results show that,with the same take-off mass of 50000 kg and object orbit of 300km SSO,the scheme using jet thrusts and grid vane achieved heavier lauching capability,115 kg bigger than the scheme using vectored nozzle,and 70 kg bigger than the scheme using jet thrusts and jet vane,respectively.All the above can provide theoretic reference for scheme demonstration of solid launch vehicle.
2009 influenza A (H1N1): a clinical review

Since the onset of the 2009 influenza A (H1N1) pandemic, the virus has caused significant morbidity and mortality. Most cases of 2009 H1N1 have presented as mild febrile illnesses with cough, sore throat, and occasional gastrointestinal symptoms. Dyspnea has been more commonly associated with the onset of severe pulmonary disease. Unlike seasonal influenza, the prevalence of 2009 H1N1 is greatest among children and young adults, although older patients and those with comorbidities are more likely to experience worse clinical outcomes. Among the most severely affected, critical illness evolves within 4 to 6 days from symptom onset, and approximately 70% of these patients require mechanical ventilation ranging in duration from days to weeks. Compared with prior influenza seasons, the need for rescue oxygenation therapy with nitric oxide, prone ventilation, high-frequency oscillation, and extracorporeal membrane oxygenation has increased. Specific medical care with neuraminidase inhibitors and antibiotics for secondary bacterial pneumonia are the mainstays of therapy. With optimal care, mortality rates range from 5% to 7% among those hospitalized and reach approximately 20% among those admitted to the intensive care unit.
Parental bonding for a better start in life

Annually, 130.000 babies in the EU are born extremely premature, ranging from 24 to 32 weeks of gestation (so called
preterms). Currently the vital signs of these pre-terms are monitored with an adhesive electrode system that was originally
designed for adults. These electrodes cause stress and pain for the pre-term during the daily removal by which skin damage
can occur. Furthermore, the system prevents skin-to-skin contact with the pre-term parents (Kangaroo Mother Care) due to
the wires. Stress, pain and impaired Kangaroo Mother Care prevent pre-term development. Research shows that one out of
two pre-terms develops concentration disorders and/or cognitive impairments during their lifetime. This results in high
healthcare costs. Therefore, neonatologists demand an better solution that allows them to better assess pre-term wellbeing.
Bambi Medical, a rising med-tech company, responds to this market need with the introduction of the Bambi Belt. The Bambi
Belt is an innovative wireless and non-invasive system that can measure the vital signs of pre-terms. With the Bambi Belt
sensors are kept in place via an elastic belt that does not harm the fragile pre-term skin. In addition, the system is wireless
and therefore parents are enabled to give significant more Kangaroo Mother Care. This will improve the development of the
pre-term and reduce both short-term (less hospital days) and long-term (less costs due to development delays) healthcare
costs. These benefits of the Bambi Belt result in a higher quality of care and a more cost-effective solution.
