Innovative antimony recovery process from lead and plastics wastes.

Every year, only the plastics and lead-acid battery manufacturing European industries need 200 ktons of Antimony for their production processes. But, Europe is dependent on import, being China the largest producer of Antimony (86%). The scarcity of the raw material availability, the monopolistic position of China and dumping policies lead to an extremely high and unstable cost for plastics and battery European industries, with a Antimony market price increased of +600% from 2002 to 2016 and expected to reach 20.000 €/ton after 2020. 
Stibiox is a innovative process able to recover pure Antimony from the residues of lead metallurgy and from the flame retardants plastics / lead-acid batteries wastes, thanks to a patented process flow composed by a thermal oxidation, a sulphuric acid leaching, a liquid/liquid separation using Tributyl Phosphate as solvent and a final desorption. The process allows disruptive performance in terms of Sb purity (> 99.9%) and cost of recovery (< 6.000 €/tons), thereby allowing to sell the recycled antimony in the raw material market at a cheaper and stable price (< 8.000 €/ton).  
After the development process started in 2014 and the validation of the solution, TND is ready to develop the first Stibiox prototypal plant, able to recover up to 250 tons/year of Antimony, in order to validate the scaled-up process. The market potentials are huge: only considering the already in progress contacts with potential customers, the Serviceable Addressable Market (SAM) is 25 ktons/year of pure Sb, for a market value of 200 M€/year.
During Phase 1 project, TND will develop a detailed technical and business feasibility analysis, focused on the supply chain optimization for Stibiox process plant fabrication and operation, the prototypal Stibiox process design, the customers validation, the analysis of the achievable markets and the refinement of the Business Model to be implemented in the Market Entry phase.
Functionally Referential Communication in Mammals: The Past, Present and the Future

Whether animal vocalizations have the potential to communicate information regarding ongoing external events or objects has received considerable attention over the last four decades. Such ‘functionally referential signals’ (Macedonia & Evans 1993) have been shown to occur in a range of mammals and bird species and as a consequence have helped us understand the complexities that underlie animal communication, particularly how animals process and perceive their socio-ecological worlds. Here, we review the existing evidence for functionally referential signals in mammals according to the framework put forward in the seminal Macedonia and Evans review paper. Furthermore, we elucidate the ambiguities regarding the functionally referential framework that have become obvious over the last years. Finally, we highlight new potential areas for investigation within referential signalling. We conclude the functionally referential framework is still informative when interpreting the meaning of animal vocalizations but, based on emerging research, requires further integration with other approaches investigating animal vocal complexity to broaden its applicability.

Molecular identification and prevalence of <i>Mycobacterium tuberculosis</i> complex amongst people living with HIV in Osun state, Nigeria.

Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection has created a special niche for Mycobacterium tuberculosis complex in humans as a result of the defect/reduction in cell mediated immunity. M. tuberculosis still responsible for most cases of death due to infectious diseases after HIV. In this study, prevalence of M. tuberculosis was determined in people living with HIV in Osun state of Nigeria with identification of culture positive isolates by polymerase chain reaction. A total of 160 samples were collected from people living with HIV with mean age of 36.8 years old of age (Median -34; age range 16 – 68; 95% confidence interval – 2.49) after seeking ethical approval from the Ministry of Health, Osun State. The result of the microscopy by ZN stain showed that 40 (25%) of the 160 samples were positive for acid fast bacilli while culture on Lowenstein-Jensen (LJ) medium revealed that 30 (18.75%) of the samples processed, grew organism that conformed to the characteristics of M. tuberculosis complex. Polymerase chain reaction for IS6110 was used to confirm the identity of the colonies on LJ slope as M. tuberculosis complex while the PCR for 260 bp of Rv1255c was used in identifying M. tuberculosis. M. tuberculosis represented 92% of the M. tuberculosis complex. The prevalence of M. tuberculosis among people living with HIV was found to be 15% after PCR identification. The effects of socio-demographic factors on the prevalence of TB were analysed. Occupation was found to be associated with the proportional distribution of TB in people living with HIV (X2 = 14.85; p Key words: Molecular identification, Polymerase chain reaction, M ycobacterium tuberculosis complex; Mycobacterium tuberculosis, Prevalence, HIV, Nigeria
Printing cap system with led uv drying system with improved efficiency and quality

World production for wine and spirits bottle caps is supported by a niche market focused on the manufacturing of offset printing machines for the cylindrical shapes of these items. Due to the intrinsic characteristic of this shape, two independent machines are required, one for the side of the cap, and a different one for the tops. Despite the adoption of UV curable inks around 30 years ago by the offset printing technology in general, this has not been possible for the offset printing machines for the sides of the caps because the plastic deformations produced in the side edging would lead to paint breaking during UV varnish. As a consequence, the total of the caps side globally are printed in ancient solvent-based inks printers, requiring cumbersome conventional ovens for the drying process, with 9 times higher energetic consumption than required by conventional UV technology. In addition, about 20% of caps printed do not reach it final use due to wastage because of read failures, off-centering, tolerances and precision issues.   Our project, called Print4Caps, is a new revolutionary off set caps printing machine specific for tops that uses LED UV inks and is built with contained LED UV lamps system to dry the ink. This delivers high quality finishes with centered images with 0.1mm precision. Print4Caps allows the change standard procedures (large ovens or UV ink systems). All in all, we accomplish reducing 90% carbon footprint of the process, avoiding 95% VOC emissions, minimising machine dimensions down to a 10%, increasing productivity by 3 times (30,000 pieces / hour) and decrease the caps waste by 20%. Above all, quality would improve dramatically, reducing off-center error to 0.1 mm (20% of state of the art). All in all, we intend to launch the product in 2021, achieving accumulated profits worth 5.1 M€, a ROI of almost .08 and creating 9 new jobs all within 5 years.
New frontiers in e-health. Policies and the Doctor@Home case study.

In recent years, and even more following the need for social distancing generated by the global COVID-19 pandemic, e-health has become an increasingly widespread reality in clinical practice, especially for those clinicians operating in the front-line, like nurses. Its growing importance has been followed by increasing attention both by the literature as well as in the generation of specific rules aimed at regulating the phenomenon.A regulatory review of the literature aims to outline the current regulatory framework relating to telemedicine. Telemedicine, especially in a pandemic context, calls for regulation that runs parallel to the rapid evolution of the phenomenon itself. The paper traces the European, Italian, and Regional legislation, focusing then on a practical experience of telemedicine, called Doctor @ Home, active at the IRCCS National Cancer Center in Aviano (Italy).First, the need for regulatory harmonization emerges. Secondly, the potential of co-production and co-learning processes for healthcare professionals and patients arises to adapt to the outpatient needs of patients in a post-pandemic "new normal," exploiting the new technological tools made available by the National Health Service.INTRODUZIONE: Negli ultimi anni, ed ancor più, a seguito delle necessità di distanziamento sociale generatesi a causa della pandemia mondiale COVID-19, l’e-health si è trasformata in una realtà sempre più concreta e diffusa nella pratica clinica anche per il personale infermieristico, che lavora in prima linea a contatto diretto con i pazienti. A tale rilevanza è seguita un’attenzione sempre maggiore sia in ambito di letteratura, che di generazione di norme specifiche finalizzate a disciplinare il fenomeno. METODI: Questa revisione normativa della letteratura punta a disegnare l’attuale assetto normativo relativo alla telemedicina, tema, soprattutto in un contesto pandemico come quello attuale, in forte crescita e con necessità di regolamentazione che corra pari passo con la rapida evoluzione del fenomeno stesso. L’articolo ripercorre la normativa europea, nazionale e regionale, focalizzandosi poi su un’esperienza pratica di telemedicina, denominata Doctor@Home, attiva presso l’IRCCS CRO di Aviano (Pordenone). DISCUSSIONE: L’analisi fa emergere innanzitutto una necessaria armonizzazione normativa per la regolamentazione ed attivazione di piani condivisi, che possano essere comuni ai diversi territori e realtà. In secondo luogo, si sottolinea la potenzialità di processi co-produttivi e di apprendimento al fine di adattare le esigenze ambulatoriali dei pazienti nella “nuova normalità”, sfruttando i nuovi strumenti tecnologici a disposizione del Servizio Sanitario.

THEmatic Transnational church Route development with the Involvement of local Society

Central Europe needs to sustain and transform a wide range of cultural heritage through innovative investment in projects with a lasting impact on regions and people. Churches and sacral architecture play a significant role especially in rural areas, as these monumental buildings need large scale investments, play a very important role for local communities and attract tourists. Transnational cooperation projects can help regions to look for long-term strategies for preservation and sustainable exploitation of cultural heritage and raising awareness of local actors.

The strategies for the preservation of churches as well as raising awareness about preservation of sacral architecture are in the focus of the project THETRIS. Its partners also intend to explore innovative ways of improving cultural heritage tourism and issue recommendation for other European regions.
Laser lightning rod

Controlling lightning is a long time dream of mankind. The goal of the present project is to investigate and develop a new type of lightning protection based on the use of upward lightning discharges initiated through a high repetition rate multi terawatt laser. The feasibility of the novel technique and the project’s prospect of success are based on recent research providing new insights into the mechanism responsible for the guiding of electrical discharges by laser filaments, on cutting-edge high power laser technology and on the availability of the uniquely suitable Säntis lightning measurement station in Northeastern Switzerland. 

The LLR consortium is ideally positioned to succeed and to raise the competitiveness of Europe in lightning control as it relies on the integration of trans-disciplinary fields in laser development, nonlinear optics, plasma physics, remote sensing, and lightning: The project team is made up of leaders in the domains of high power nonlinear propagation of laser pulses in the atmosphere, laser control of electric discharges, lightning physics, high power laser development, and high-repetition-rate lasers. In addition, the largest European company in aeronautics brings its expertise in lightning direct effects and protection means on aircraft and infrastructures.
Biophysical manipulation of adult stem cell epigenetics (biomasce) by cell-penetrating nanoneedle substrates

Human mesenchymal stem cells (hMSCs) are a promising cell source for regenerative therapies. In part, their capacity for multi-lineage differentiation and subsequent therapeutic efficacy is controlled by the epigenetic status of the DNA. The Stevens Group at Imperial College London (ICL) has recently developed a novel material platform of porous silicon (pSi) nanoneedles (nNs) that penetrate the cell membrane, stimulating physical changes in the nucleus. Interestingly, nuclear mechanics and shape parameters have been shown to control epigenetic status in various cell types, but this remains under-investigated in hMSC. Therefore, in the present study, pSi nNs will be used to manipulate hMSC nuclear size and shape, as well as the resulting epigenetic status, as a means to identify novel mechanisms for enhancing differentiation capacity. The inherent porosity of the nNs, coupled with their ability for cell penetration, will be exploited as a delivery tool for a cutting-edge class of non-coding RNAs into hMSCs to interfere with, and further regulate, epigenetic status and resulting therapeutic potential. This discovery-driven project leverages a one-of-a-kind engineering tool for investigating and manipulating hMSC behaviour. In parallel, the applicant has proposed to undergo a secondment to a UK-based, non-academic partner organisation to enhance his knowledge of intellectual property protection, technology development, and product commercialisation in order to translate his research findings for clinical benefit. The applicant will increase his knowledge base during the project, creating new contacts in his personal network, as well as for the Stevens Group and ICL. This project represents a multidisciplinary, cutting-edge approach to stem cell biology and biomedical engineering, utilising cross-sectoral collaboration for enhanced training and potential for industrial translation of basic research findings.
Aces: air cargo explosive screener

The ACES (Air Cargo Explosive Screener) program will be devoted to the certification of a new generation of explosive screeners based on vapor detection, targeting the airport security market for cargo screening. ACES has been developed to identify explosive threats with sensitivity and discrimination power orders of magnitude better than state-of-the-art systems.  It is unmatched in its ability to screen large volumes in minutes, such as cargo containers and whole trucks, without disassembly.
This line of business is backed up both by a very high social demand and a strong institutional support: explosive screening for aeronautical cargo loaded in passenger aircrafts is mandatory in the EU and nearly all nations. This inspection task is presently executed carried out by X-ray screening, which presents two relevant deficiencies: 1) the cargo load must be broken down into pieces where the maximum side is lower than 120 cm, and 2) a human operator interprets the X-ray image, in order to detect  an arbitrarily shaped explosive a few centimeters in size, seen with a depth of 120 cm.
In previous years, SEDET has developed an unmatched technology in the area, has been selected as the leading vapor screener developer by several European Union aviation testing Agencies and Israel, and is currently undergoing more thorough evaluations on its way to certification. 
From the technical perspective, ACES´s vapor detection technology first turns into ions minute quantities of vapor molecules released into the atmosphere by hidden explosives.  Then these ions are separated at atmospheric pressure according to their size in a mobility filter (a differential mobility analyzer, DMA), and then by filtering the original ions and their fragments according to their respective masses in the vacuum system of a sophisticated triple quadrupole mass spectrometer (MS).
ACES technology is protected by several patents and patents applications, both in the US and the EU.
Modern optics in exceptionally preserved eyes of Early Cambrian arthropods from Australia

Despite the status of the eye as an "organ of extreme perfection", theory suggests that complex eyes can evolve very rapidly. The fossil record has, until now, been inadequate in providing insight into the early evolution of eyes during the initial radiation of many animal groups known as the Cambrian explosion. This is surprising because Cambrian Burgess-Shale-type deposits are replete with exquisitely preserved animals, especially arthropods, that possess eyes. However, with the exception of biomineralized trilobite eyes, virtually nothing is known about the details of their optical design. Here we report exceptionally preserved fossil eyes from the Early Cambrian (∼ 515 million years ago) Emu Bay Shale of South Australia, revealing that some of the earliest arthropods possessed highly advanced compound eyes, each with over 3,000 large ommatidial lenses and a specialized 'bright zone'. These are the oldest non-biomineralized eyes known in such detail, with preservation quality exceeding that found in the Burgess Shale and Chengjiang deposits. Non-biomineralized eyes of similar complexity are otherwise unknown until about 85 million years later. The arrangement and size of the lenses indicate that these eyes belonged to an active predator that was capable of seeing in low light. The eyes are more complex than those known from contemporaneous trilobites and are as advanced as those of many living forms. They provide further evidence that the Cambrian explosion involved rapid innovation in fine-scale anatomy as well as gross morphology, and are consistent with the concept that the development of advanced vision helped to drive this great evolutionary event.
Transition of Origin of Old Indian Kingship's Legitimacy

For a long time,political science field generalizes origin of kingship by given by god and given by people,which limits the explanation of Indian legitimacy of kingship.In Vedic times,Aryan original theory of kingship unifies both of them in one theoretic structure.Therefore,the source of kingship not depends on action subject of authority,but in who demand it.Form Vedic times to various time,the main stream of original theory of kingship is Monarch's power from people's needs.Since this theory delegates the selection of king's candidate to gods,which remain the significance of gods in structure of legitimacy of kingship.After Maurya dynasty,Kingship went through one process of deifying.Due to the tradition of polytheism,however,Kingship could not acquire paramount state,instead of strength for deifying,it has been weaken eventually.
Unveiling stomata 24/7: using stable isotopes and cos to quantify diurnal and nocturnal carbon and water vegetation-atmosphere fluxes under future climate scenarios

Rising atmospheric CO2 concentration, increasing temperature and altered precipitation patterns dramatically impact the terrestrial biosphere with important consequences for all biogeochemical cycles. Predictions of carbon (C) and water exchange between vegetation and the atmosphere require detailed mechanistic understanding of how plants control water loss and C gain through their stomatal pores. Currently, global circulation models incorporate formulations of stomatal conductance (gs) based on stomatal optimisation theory. However, these models ignore gs regulation: (1) during night time, despite clear evidence for significant nocturnal transpiration, (2) in non-vascular plants and (3) during leaf development and senescence. To reduce the uncertainty associated with current C and water fluxes in models, we need to incorporate robust predictions of gs in response to novel environmental conditions (higher temperature, decreased water availability and elevated CO2). To fill these gaps, USIFlux, will develop a novel tracing technique to measure gs during the dark, when fluxes are an order of magnitude smaller than during the day. To do so, we will combine measurements of COS (carbonyl sulphide) uptake with CO18O fluxes and changes in the oxygen isotope composition (δ18O) of water in leaves. We will relate the response of gs at night to changes in gs during the day and in response to drought and elevated CO2. These measurements will be coupled to an experiment to investigate stomatal regulation during leaf ontogeny and in different life forms. Here, we will challenge the stomatal optimisation theory in life forms lacking active stomatal control (mosses and brackens) and during leaf development, when leaf construction costs constrain the optimisation of C gain. Empirical formulations arising from these experiments will be incorporated into large-scale soil-vegetation-atmosphere transfer models to explore their impact at larger scales.
