European structural wood - for sustainable building components

ESW proposal outlines the opportunity to develop an innovative technological process which will produce a new constructional material, having higher yields compared with the best alternatives in terms of technical results, economic and environmental footprint performances. That would make ESW advantageous competitor and feasible alternative as structural material representing the best performing material for supporting structure. ESW proposed technology uses Thermo Vacuum Wood (TVW) for manufacturing an outstanding new bio-material which has the potential to replace most commonly used structural materials such as concrete, steel and timber. This novel process will ensure the sustainable supply of raw European materials via extremely environment friendly new solution in construction industry, and will also provide participating SME with the opportunity to derive an ongoing income. The engineered ESW has better technical performances (more resistant, robust, seismic tolerant) in respect to raw wood, laminated wood (glulam), aluminium alloy, concrete. 
Upon successful completion of this project, the likely benefits to the partners, end-users and society will include:
•	The ability for manufacturing large-scale ESW constructional components
•	Significant reduction in carbon emission and consumes of energy via elimination of tropical timber import from extra UE countries
•	Reduction of toxic and pollutant glues used for manufacturing wood laminated constructional components; 
•	Savings (up to 20% €/m3) for multilayer constructional components compared with wood (non tropical) and glulam ones.
•	Savings (up 70% €/m3) compared with constructional structures made of tropical timber or other thermotreated woods thanks of the use of local European (low market value) wood
ESW is made okìf wood treated with Thermo Vaccum process and glue. Thermo Vacuum Process was funded by Eco innovation in 2012 and gives thermovacuum wood that is  strategic for ESW material.
Multiple manifestations of genetic and non-genetic factors in multiple sclerosis disentangled with a multi-omics approach to accelerate personalised medicine

The complex interactions between genetic and non-genetic factors produce heterogeneities in patients as reflected in the diversity of pathophysiology, clinical manifestations, response to therapies, disease development and progression. Yet, the full potential of personalized medicine entails biomarker-guided delivery of efficient therapies in stratified patient populations.
 
MultipleMS will therefore develop, validate, and exploit methods for patient stratification in Multiple Sclerosis, a chronic inflammatory disease and a leading causes of non-traumatic disability in young adults, with an estimated cost of €37 000 per patient per year over a duration of 30 years. Here we benefit from several large clinical cohorts with multiple data types, including genetic and lifestyle information. This in combination with publically available multi-omics maps enables us to identify biomarkers of the clinical course and the response to existing therapies in a real-world setting, and to gain in-depth knowledge of distinct pathogenic pathways setting the stage for development of new interventions.

To create strategic global synergies, MultipleMS includes 21 partners and covers not only the necessary clinical, biological, and computational expertise, but also includes six industry partners ensuring dissemination and exploitation of the methods and clinical decision support system. Moreover, the pharmaceutical industry partners provide expertise to ensure optimal selection and validation of clinically relevant biomarkers and new targets. Our conceptual personalized approach can readily be adapted to other immune-mediated diseases with a complex gene-lifestyle background and broad clinical spectrum with heterogeneity in treatment response.
 
MultipleMS therefore goes significantly beyond current state-of-the-art thereby broadly affecting European policies, healthcare systems, innovation in translating big data and basic research into evidence-based personalized clinical applications.
Behavioral and cognitive mechanisms promoting collective intelligence in human groups

This research project will develop novel tools to investigate the interactions between individuals and the behavioral and cognitive mechanisms that promote the emergence of collective intelligence in humans, by integrating methods from biology, physics, economics and social sciences. Economics and biology, two disciplines that study the behavior of living beings, have followed distinct routes to analyze the behavior of human groups. While macroeconomic models rely on complex individual behavior and study static equilibria and steady states, biologists tend to focus on simple individual behaviors to study population heterogeneities and complex group dynamics. Simultaneously, physicists have developed a powerful set of methods and mathematical models to study the dynamics of particle systems and are very recently being combined with behavioral heuristics borrowed from cognitive science. Merging experimental and theoretical work, we will investigate the mechanisms by which the processing of information between individuals lead to collective decisions, and the specific situations where individual behaviors and choices are affected by the group. We will design and execute specific experiments to study how human groups select alternative solutions to solve specific problems, where anticipation about future actions/events will be formulated under different conditions of information. The resulting mathematical models based on the experimental data, including behavioral and cognitive processes at the individual scale, will give access to the type of information needed by the group to become more efficient in solving a given problem. These models will be analytically and numerically studied by means of classical and novel tools of statistical physics, complex networks and game theory. The present project thus aims to combine insights and methods from diverse disciplines to deliver novel hybrid models to study the emergence of collective intelligence in social human systems.
Green Urban Transport Systems


The main environmental problems in cities are linked to the increasing air pollution (currently 31% of all emissions) coming from transport (of which up to 7 % coming from public transport). The challenge GUTS partners are facing is how to reconcile economic development and accessibility of their cities by improving at the same time the quality of life and environmental protection while fighting Climate Change.

GUTS will contribute to sustainable urban mobility in Central Europe, helping cities and urban agglomerations (public authorities, transport operators) to meet requirements for a greener environment. The project will work together on creating a strong institutional, financial &amp; technological basis for the development of sustainable and clean public transport (PT) systems. 

An environmentally sustainable rolling stock, just like user-friendliness or improved accessibility, is crucial to create higher quality Public transport services. GUTS promotes and enhances the quality and sustainability of public transport by preparing the ground for the necessary innovative investments to answer the qualitative and quantitative mobility requirements of urban citizens.
A Study on Motivating Factors to Enter into Poultry Farming with Special Reference to Suguna Broiler Contract Farms in Coimbatore District

Traditionally, an agrarian economy, India suffered hugely due to the ruling of foreign countries, who destroyed the very fabric of this great nation. Also, the truant monsoon did not help the matter and Indian farmers suffered heavily due to either more rain or no rain and were always in the clutches of moneylenders in Indian villages. In the event of rain failure or un-remunerative prices for agricultural produce, farmers had very little to do except borrow heavily, pledging their even marginal lands, thus remaining bonded labourers throughout their life time. Thus, the alternate livelihood, lesser dependence on monsoon, healthy and continuous working conditions made the Indian Poultry Industry a big success story. From a backyard venture, it has made a quantum leap to emerge as a dynamic industry. Over the last 3 decades, there have been significant developments in the poultry industry with each decade focusing on different sectors. The 70‟s saw a spurt in egg production ; the 80‟s an acceleration of broiler production ; the nineties advances in poultry integration, automation and feed production. In the current decade broiler industry is poised to exploit value added products and explore global trade. This research studies explores the various factors which enabled the farmers to enter into poultry farming.
Design and Implementation of the LBS Interface for Personnel Positioning

The realization of the personnel positioning base on LBS for the application is to make a socket based connection first and get the location information from the port of the LBS platform according to some interface specifications. To ensure the location service of the application stable and reliable, a short connection was proposed to solve the disconnection problem caused by network communication quality, and the asynchronous mode for data transportation was chosen to improve the real-time responsiveness of that interface. According to the specific needs for personnel locations, there are two ways to request location: calling the one or calling the group, which make the location services more flexible and convenient. The applying of this interface to a real application system for customer service management shows that the application system has a perfect interface to the LBS platform and obtains a fast and stable personnel positioning service.

Quantification of volcanic halogen impacts in the troposphere through wrf-chem modelling, satellite and in-situ observations

This project delivers a multi-faceted approach to understanding the halogen, ozone, and mercury chemistry of volcanic plumes in the troposphere. Small eruptions and continuous degassing volcanoes release halogens that are converted into reactive forms (e.g. BrO) in the plume and are known to have significant impacts such as the destruction of ozone and conversion of mercury into more toxic forms. However, at present, we lack the tools to quantify these impacts. By combining novel model and measurement approaches to this problem, this project will provide a very first quantification of the local-to-regional impacts on tropospheric ozone and mercury. To deliver this break-through the ER, Host and academic and industry partners each bring complementary expertise in high- and low-temperature plume models, multi-phase chemistry, satellite remote sensing, small sensors, and in-situ measurement of volcanic plume gases. The resulting ER’s training-by-research will place him at the centre of an EU collaborative activity on volcanic halogens.
Central to this project is the ER’s development of a new atmospheric chemistry model of volcanic halogen impacts, WCV, with initialization based on high-temperature emissions. This tool will be an extension of the free and open-source community 3D model WRF-Chem and will be made available under the same terms. The ER will evaluate WCV through analyzing data from the newly-launched Sentinel 5-P satellite to trace volcanic BrO-SO2 at unprecedented resolution. Two field campaigns will make in-situ measurements of volcanic emissions and plume mercury, by industry mini-sensors and sampling methods. The combined WCV model-observation approach will make some very first case study assessments of volcanic halogen impacts on tropospheric ozone and mercury over local-to-regional scales. It will fill a critical gap in our understanding and quantification of volcanic plume hazards, bringing tools of strong interest to both research and policy groups.
Development of quantification procedures for simultaneous pet-mr data for human brain imaging

Imaging of physiological functions in the living brain provides a unique possibility to study biological processes during disease or drug interventions. Functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) and Positron Emission Tomography (PET) are important tools that enable brain imaging. Whereas PET enables determination of molecular target densities, fMRI provides information about brain hemodynamic responses to, e.g., a drug intervention. 

There are several research questions where the synergy between these modalities combined provides unique opportunities, including drug development and pharmacokinetic modeling. With the development of imaging systems that simultaneously acquire PET and fMRI signals, a need for analytical tools to interpret the recorded data has become paramount. My proposal focuses on the development of quantification schemes that use both signals.

I will investigate two areas where simultaneous PET-MR can make a significant difference: 1) assessment of drug effects by coupling drug binding to a receptor to its downstream effect in tissue, 2) using cerebral blood flow estimates to inform modeling of PET data. I will develop models that serve for quantification of simultaneous PET- and fMRI data, validate them via simulations, and evaluate them using experimental data.

The project will serve to leverage usage of simultaneous PET-MR, and assist in future studies with task- or drug-induced interventions. The project seeks to establish quantification methods that serve not only the imaging society, but specifically address the pharmaceutical companies' need to test their compounds prior to clinical trials.

By transitioning to hybrid imaging, I have the possibility to use my strong background in PET to impact a young field under development. The host institution is world leading in applied simultaneous PET-MR studies, thus the MSCA fellowship presents a unique possibility for me to gain invaluable knowledge of the next generation of medical imaging.
European best practices for endangered language revitalisation

Language endangerment has become a global crisis. According to estimates only 600 of the 6,000 or so languages in the world are ‘safe’ from the threat of extinction. In Europe we have an increasing amount of expertise in language revitalisation for endangered languages. These are skills and knowledge that are transferable to other language revitalisation movements worldwide giving Europe the potential to be a leader in the field. 

However, as we develop revitalisation techniques and as they become more nuanced, sociolinguistic analysis shows those working in the field that while there have been some successes, several endangered revitalisation efforts are either failing or at least only stemming the rate of decline in speaker numbers.

The proposed research will address this last issue and using both case studies and a thematic approach examine various language revitalisation efforts so as to measure their success (or otherwise) in increasing both speaker numbers and everyday users. In short it will seek to establish what is working in endangered language revitalisation, where and how, and, in an area renowned for being poorly resourced, what is not working.
High-throughput phenotyping technology for maize roots

This paper describes the development of high-throughput measurement techniques allowing acquisition of phenotypical data describing maize roots. One of a maize root’s traits is the level of complexity, which was expressed in a Fractal Dimension (FD) calculated from root images. Another important trait is the Root Top Angle (RTA) that was measured using a new machine vision algorithm. The measurement system consisted of a semi-automated imaging box that provided a highly diffuse lighting scene and allowing imaging of up to 700 roots per day. The measurement techniques were evaluated using roots recovered from a set of 200 recombinant inbred lines (RILs) derived from a cross between maize inbreds B73 and CML333. B73 and CML333 are known to have different root characteristics and their progeny are expected to show segregation for root traits. Since standard protocols for the measurement of the two root traits are non-existent, no comparisons could be made. Nevertheless, the data showed that the techniques were capable of confirming significant differences in FD among the two inbred lines and their progeny, as well as measuring variations in RTA that are known for the inbreds and their crosses. In addition, first hypotheses about the inheritance of root complexity (as expressed in the FD) and RTA in maize were derived and tested: initial evidence showed that root complexity is a phenotype probably determined by a multitude of genes with small effects. In contrast, the data indicated that the RTA is additively inherited.
Deubiquitinating Enzyme Inhibitors and their Potential in Cancer Therapy

Deubiquitinating enzymes (or DUBs) attack the ubiquitin-based isopeptide bond, thus counteracting ubiquitinprotein ligase activity in vivo. By disassembling ubiquitin-substrate and ubiquitin-ubiquitin covalent links, deubiquitinating enzymes exert a very powerful control of many signaling processes within the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS). Very active research in this field in the last decade shows that deubiquitinating enzymes play important regulatory roles in aspects relevant to cancer, such as proteasome activity, p53 stability, the regulation of fanconi anemia related proteins, tumor cell apoptosis induction, to mention a few. Thus, deubiquitinating enzymes have emerged as interesting drug targets in cancer research. Here, the pharmacological inhibition of DUBs and its potential effect in cancer treatment are reviewed.
Algunas observaciones sobre el estado de la democracia en Francia

En este ensayo se analiza la situación actual de la democracia francesa, después del surgimiento de diversos movimientos populistas y, entre ellos, el del actual presidente Macron. En el texto se sostiene que E. Macron es un «ciudadano» que ha triunfado, es decir, un candidato que se presentó como ajeno al sistema y ha conseguido colonizarlo desde el interior.
Investigation of an outbreak of bloody diarrhea complicated with hemolytic uremic syndrome

In July-August 2009, eight patients with bloody diarrhea complicated by hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS) were admitted to hospitals in Tbilisi, Georgia. We started active surveillance in two regions for bloody diarrhea and post-diarrheal HUS. Of 25 case-patients who developed HUS, including the initial 8 cases, half were ⩾15 years old, 67% were female and seven (28%) died. No common exposures were identified. Among 20 HUS case-patients tested, Shiga toxin was detected in the stools of 2 patients (one with elevated serum IgG titers to several Escherichia coli serogroups, including O111 and O104). Among 56 persons with only bloody diarrhea, we isolated Shiga toxin-producing E. coli (STEC) O104:H4 from 2 and Shigella from 10; 2 had serologic evidence of E. coli O26 infection. These cases may indicate a previously unrecognized burden of HUS in Georgia. We recommend national reporting of HUS and improving STEC detection capacity.
History, Space and Nature: Building Theory from the Exception

Uneven Development endeavours to derive a theory of uneven geographical development by putting in motion a ‘historical dialogue’ between Marx's critical theorisation of capitalism and the geograhical reality of capitalism at the close of the twentieth century, and by theorising the relations between material nature and the spatial dynamics of capitalist accumulation. The result, however, is a theory of uneven development predicated on a logical rather than a historical conception of capitalism, which furthermore supersedes the question of the production of nature in conceptualising the spatial dynamics of (contemporary) capitalism. This article argues for a re-theorisation of uneven geographical development that considers the production of nature, namely extractive industry, as a point of departure in theorising the spatial dynamics of contemporary capitalist accumulation, focusing briefly on the concentration and centralisation of capital.

Does Vegetation Restoration Change Regional Ecohydrological Condition at the Loess Plateau in China?

The Loess Plateau is a severely eroded and very venerable area in the northwestern China. Large scale vegetation restoration has been conducted in this region during the recent decades, its effect on the regional ecohydrology is under concern. In this study, long term satellite and derived data were used to analyze regional hydrological condition at the major part of the Loess Plateau (35°-37°N and 105°-110° E). The results indicate that there was an increase in the regional normalized difference vegetation index, evapotranspiration, rainfall intensity, soil water storage (surface 1m layer) and runoff. It was also observed that the total annual precipitation did not change significantly.The possible mechanisms may be related to the complicated processes of vegetation on ecohydrology. Our results and approach may be useful to evaluate the benefits of ecological restoration and further vegetation restoration at the Loess Plateau and other regions.
