Modelling sterile insect technique to control the population of Anopheles gambiae

There is a renewed effort to develop novel malaria control strategies as even well-implemented existing malaria control tools may fail to block transmission in some regions. Currently, transgenic implementations of the sterile insect technique (SIT) such as the release of insects with a dominant lethal, homing endonuclease genes, or flightless mosquitoes are in development. These implementations involve the release of transgenic male mosquitoes whose matings with wild females produce either no viable offspring or no female offspring. As these technologies are all in their infancy, little is known about the relative efficiencies of the various implementations.This paper describes agent-based modelling of emerging and theoretical implementations of transgenic SIT in Anopheles gambiae for the control of malaria. It reports on female suppression as it is affected by the SIT implementation, the number of released males, and competitiveness of released males.The simulation experiments suggest that a late-acting bisex lethal gene is the most efficient of the four implementations we simulated. They demonstrate 1) the relative impact of release size on a campaign's effectiveness 2) late-acting genes are preferred because of their ability to exploit density dependent larval mortality 3) late-acting bisex lethal genes achieve elimination before their female-killing counterparts.
Tuning electronic correlations in transition metal pnictides: Chemistry beyond the valence count

The effects of electron-electron correlations on the low-energy electronic structure and their relationship with unconventional superconductivity are central aspects in the research on the iron-based pnictide superconductors. Here we use soft X-ray angle-resolved photoemission spectroscopy (SX-ARPES) to study how electronic correlations evolve in different chemically substituted iron pnictides. We find that correlations are intrinsically related to the effective filling of the correlated orbitals, rather than to the filling obtained by valence counting. Combined density functional theory (DFT) and dynamical mean-field theory (DMFT) calculations capture these effects, reproducing the experimentally observed trend in the correlation strength. The occupation-driven trend in the electronic correlation reported in our work supports the recently proposed connection between cuprate and pnictides phase diagrams.
The power of language and ELT textbooks

Abstract This study investigates how language is employed in EFL textbooks to represent a society and its members. The idea that textbooks are neutral and they just serve to transmit knowledge is no longer accepted (Hodge and kress, 1993; van Dijk, 1998; Howard and Dedo, 1989). Howard and Dedo (1989) point out that textbooks can disseminate the idea of accepting power and taking it as natural. This pr study applies the CDA approach, more specifically Hodge and Kress's framework (1993), to a selection of texts found in Spectrum, as sample of EFL textbooks studied in certain EFL institutes in Iran.

Surface Treatment of Quartz Fiber in SiO<sub>2</sub>/SiO<sub>2f</sub> with Composite Properties of Materials

Two methods are adopted to remove wetting agents on surface of the quartz fiber, one is heat treatment, and the other is the combination of organic solvent and heat treatment. By comparing the changes of weight loss rate of quartz fiber before and after surface treatment, analyzing variation of morphology and composition of surface in SEM and XPS approaches, we conclude that the combination of organic solvent and heat treatment is superior to the pure thermal treatment in dealing with surface of quartz fiber. In heating process, different heating rates are used, the results show that: the lower the heating rate is, the greater the mechanical strength of the quartz fiber losses.

The project will design and develop a system for improving response planning strategies and scenario building (TRL 7 or 8) and facilitating organizational coordination among many actors, integrating a wide range of support tools to be used operationally by a large variety of stakeholders (firefighting units, medical emergency services, police departments, civil protection units, command and control centres). The devised system shall integrate existing and newly developed tools to enhance the cooperation between autonomous systems (satellite-, sea-, land- and air-based) from different agencies as well as to consolidate the methodology for cross-border scenario-building. 
The project shall investigate the currently existing tools and methodologies with the involvement of local authorities and end users and provide mechanisms to enhance cooperation among all involved actors. 
The main domains to be taken into account are:
•	The EU Civil Protection Mechanism (natural and man-made disasters, including events affecting critical infrastructure)
•	IPCC recommendations in relation to extreme climatic events
•	The Sendai Framework
The project shall develop on the basis of realistic scenarios in specific geographical areas with the close involvement of local authorities. Since the expected TRL is 7 or 8, the prototype shall be demonstrated by the end of the project in a realistic environment.
Although the project will develop a flexible system which should be adaptable to integrate multiple hazard-specific tools, the main scenarios considered for the time being are: forest fire, flood, flash floods and landslides.

Microvascularized tumour-on-chip for cellular imaging of drug response and cell motility

MImETIC INDiRECT aims to develop a standardised, accessible, versatile organ-on-chip toolkit for cancer biology and drug discovery research, compatible with microscopy-based (live imaging and confocal) techniques. The project is expected to facilitate academia and industry adoption of microfluidic 3D cell culture systems for comparable and reproducible results in a complex biomimetic animal free model for cancer drug discovery, toxicology, advanced (pre)clinical as well as personalized medicine. The toolkit components will consist of an integrated temperature controller dual-chamber chip, the Cherry Biotech CubiX system and growth factor optimized collagenous solutions for each chip chamber. The dual chamber chip, with cellular migration lanes, will have two tailored collagen-based formulations, designed per chamber. The CubiX platform is a compact flow and temperature controller, allowing optional sensor (e.g. O2) integration, compatible with single chips or 24-well plates. The cancer(s) sub-types to be used toolkit standardization will be dictated by market needs, where commercial cell lines (cancerous and non-cancerous) will be used to create the microvascularized complex tissue model.  Potential project risks have been identified with appropriate mitigation strategies, where the project promotes adoption of standardized, cost-effective and versatile cancer organ-on-chip platforms in the market, rather than disruptive academic findings.  Access of the aforementioned system to a worldwide growth market will fully exploit the project results, disseminated by direct and indirect marketing and scientific approaches. Project implementation will be an academic-industry collaborative and multidisciplinary manner providing the acquisition of diverse and unconventional complementary skills, leading to an understanding of both sectors requirements. We envision the above-mentioned to facilitate future academic and industry collaborations.
Saccscan - personalising clinical management of major psychiatric disorders

1 in 5 of us experience mental health problems during our lifetime but more than 50% of patients don’t receive adequate care. Currently, when patients’ symptoms and behaviour don’t meet the criteria set out in the diagnostic manual, it may take up to 10 years to diagnose the illness. Delays in receiving a diagnosis can significantly impede delivery of the most effective treatment plan, exposing the patient to risk of further deterioration in well-being, reduction in quality of life leading to job loss, family breakdown, and self-harming. Mental ill health is now recognised as the largest cause of short and long term disability worldwide costing the global economy US$2.5T with a projected increase to over US$6T by 2030. 
SaccScan is a novel point-of-care (PoC) software diagnostic system which has been demonstrated to detect schizophrenia with better than 95% accuracy and has been extended with the same precision to bipolar disorder and major depression illnesses. The software diagnostic tool successfully utilises eye-movement abnormalities as clinical diagnostic biomarkers for serious mental illnesses. The test can be performed within 30 minutes and results produced over the internet at near real-time speed. Early economic modelling showed that introducing SaccScan into health care services could produce savings of €33 474 per patient in the case of suspected schizophrenia. The global market for this test is in excess of €5 billion with early-adopter customer segments making up over 10% of the total market - creating a potential initial market share of €100 million per annum. 
The purpose of this Phase 1 application is to demonstrate proof of business and develop the necessary partnerships for bringing a minimum viable version to market. Further support from H2020 SME Instrument, will help complete clinical validation and fully commercialise SaccScan in Phase 2 and Phase 3, while addressing the EU challenge of reducing healthcare costs through personalising medicine.

Further, each of the reflection gratings are provided with a heater means for tuning the respective reflection grating to the wavelength channel to be added/dropped and the wide frequency range reflection means reflect all other channels. The first and second phase control elements are adapted to direct the channel to be added/dropped to the multiplex output/drop channel output and to direct remaining channels to the multiplex output.
Characterization of solid excipients: delving deeper by probing the surface.

Performance differences in different lots of solid excipients often cannot be detected by bulk physicochemical methods. This is because some of these (performance) differences originate at the surface of individual excipient particles, accounting for attributes that comprise a disproportionately large part of the surface but a very small fraction of the total amount of the material. Because surface interactions play a significant role in the formulation and stability of solid dosage forms, it should not be surprising that excipients that
may be indistinguishable at the compendial, and/or bulk level, may yet behave differently due to their different surface characteristics. Surface acidity, surface free energy, surface charge, surface roughness and surface
amorphicity (crystallinity) of a bulk excipient powder represent attributes that are not usually measured as part of routine raw material testing by the end user. In addition to the apparent values of these surface characteristics, their intra- and inter-lot heterogeneity can influence functionality, and in some instances, significantly cause it to change.
Differential Spaces, Power Hierarchy and Collaborative Planning: A Critique of the Role of Temporary Uses in Shaping and Making Places

Drawing upon collaborative planning theory and on the work of Lefebvre and de Certeau, this paper explores the multistage governance arrangements leading to the employment of temporary uses as an instrument for regeneration in a context of economic crisis. It contributes to a thorough understanding of the relations between the power hierarchy and the strategy/tactics developed through a more or less inclusive collaborative process from place-shaping (weak planning) to place-making (masterplanning). By decrypting the different paths that can be taken by the collaborative process, the paper demonstrates how temporary uses on differential spaces shape space from a use value point of view, influence and challenge the distribution of power and enable (temporary) occupants to acquire and sometimes sustain a position in the place-making process.

Research on the design of skiving tool for machining involute gears

Although the power skiving of gear process has demonstrated excellent capability in the latest research, the key to the successful application of skiving is the design of suitable tools. We propose a method to design and calculate the skiving tool for machining involute gears. First, according to the principle of power skiving for internal gear, the helical skiving cutter was designed with the modification coefficient and the tapered teeth that were oriented under a helix angle. The structure can avoid friction and interference, as well as ensure the even cutting load during the processing of skiving. Then, the kinematical model of power skiving was established and the profile of cutter with a rake angle was calculated based on the crossed helical gear engagement theory. Finally, using a helical cutter to simulate the machine for an internal spur gear, the results demonstrate that the proposed design method of skiving cutter can avoid interference and meet the requirement of power skiving.
Entre barragens e Defesa Civil no Brasil: uma história de institucionalização recente da atenção sobre riscos socioambientais

Analisa-se a institucionalização da prevenção e defesa contra tecnodesastres no Brasil, com atenção ao deslocamento histórico da defesa civil entre os anos 1970 e 2010. A leitura está ligada à percepção do papel que o desenvolvimento exerceu na grande aceleração brasileira desde os anos 1950, considerando a tecnologia de força bruta como categoria de análise para a interpretação. A emergência de paisagens “arriscadas” também está atrelada à perspectiva de um estado controlador de recursos naturais, e que passou, ao longo do século XX, a não medir esforços para a construção de instrumentos e percepções (leis, aparelhos burocráticos) que se ampararam na ideia de governo da técnica sobre recursos. Para isso, trabalhamos com a leitura de documentos legislativos e técnicos. A partir deles, tecemos uma análise documental, tendo o cuidado de prestar atenção, também, para os discursos, à luz do cotejo com uma discussão mais ampla sobre sociedade de risco.

A dynamic statistical method based on peer grouping for spatial data access laws in a distributed system

The spatial data access laws reflects the general characteristics of user preferences in tile access. According to the access laws, the strategy of storage and organization can be adjusted and utilized to store the spatial data in right place. However, the tile access has dynamic features(server peer capability, storage device and hot tiles have dynamic features). Dynamic statistical method are an important theoretical basis for improving the accuracy of storage and organization. A dynamic statistical method for the access law of spatial data based on the peer grouping is proposed in this paper to resolve above-mentioned problems. All distributed server peers are grouped and the size of group is controlled to reduce the flow rate of exchanging spatial data access information each other. The capabilities of the server nodes are calculated in this algorithm. And the leader peer with good service capabilities are chosen preferentially in the group to fuse dynamic statistical information. The experimental results show that this method has a shorter average fusion time for the dynamic statistics of spatial data access laws and thus can improve the efficiency of the large scale distributed spatial information service system.
