description: We have developed a novel, all-electronic biosensor for opioids that consists of an engineered mu opioid receptor protein, with high binding affinity for opioids, chemically bonded to a graphene field-effect transistor to read out ligand binding. A variant of the receptor protein that provided chemical recognition was computationally redesigned to enhance its solubility and stability in an aqueous environment. A shadow mask process was developed to fabricate arrays of hundreds of graphene transistors with average mobility of ~1500 cm2 V-1 s-1 and yield exceeding 98%. The biosensor exhibits high sensitivity and selectivity for the target naltrexone, an opioid receptor antagonist, with a detection limit of 10 pg/mL.

description: Ninety-two wild yeasts were isolated from different fruits, for possible use in brewing, using the technological traits of carbohydrate fermentation and hydrogen sulfide production. Twelve yeasts were selected for identification by sequencing (D1/D2 domain or ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region) and their volatile compounds production analyzed using gas chromatography. From these analyses, three yeasts were chosen for further characterization and beer production. Strains were characterized by their tolerance to osmotic and ethanol stress, their flocculation profile, growth at different temperatures, apparent attenuation (percentage of sugars converted into alcohol), estimated ABV (alcohol by volume) and reducing sugar profile. Beers were analyzed for alcohol content and sensorial analysis. The isolates CL011 and PB111 (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and CB341 (Wickerhamomyces anomalus) showed promising properties for brewing, which included high production of interesting volatile compounds (esters, terpenes, lactones, and C13-norisoprenoids) by CL011, a neutral profile by PB111, and the production of non-classic beer volatile compounds by CB341 in a mixed culture.

LOCALIZATION TECHNIQUES FOR RENORMING
Creators: name: FERRARI, SIMONE

description: Renorming theory involves finding isomorphisms in order to improve the norm of a normed space X. This means to make the geometrical and topological properties of the unit ball of the given normed space as close as possible to those of the unit ball of a Hilbert space. In this work we study different types of geometrical properties. In 1989 Hansell introduced the notion of descriptive topological space: we do not state this definition here, since it is rather technical. Hansell pointed out the role played by the existence of sigma-isolated networks in these spaces. They can replace sigma-discrete topological bases which turn out to be exclusive of metrizable space after the Bing--Nagata--Smirnov theorem. So Hansell proved that a Banach space is descriptive with respect to the weak-topology if, and only if, the norm topology has a sigma-isolated network with respect to the weak-topology. Hansell also proved that if a Banach space has a Kadec norm, then it is descriptive with respect to the weak-topology The main problem in Kadec renorming theory is whether it is possible to prove the converse of the previous theorem: in fact no examples are known of descriptive Banach spaces, with respect to the weak-topology, that do not admit an equivalent Kadec norm. In this work we prove the following theorem: X is a descriptive Banach space with respect to the weak-topology if, and only if, there exists an equivalent weak-lower semicontinuous and weak-Kadec quasinorm q(.), i.e. a quasinorm such that the weak and the norm topologies coincide on the set {x in X s.t. q(x)=1} and a||x||< q(x)<\b||x|| holds for some positive constants a and b. In the second part of this dissertation we state some results on rotund renormings. In this work we will give a characterization of rotund renorming in term of the G$_\delta$-diagonal property: X admits an equivalent, weak-lower semicontinuous and rotund norm if, and only if, X admits an equivalent, weak-lower semicontinuous norm ||.|| such that the set {x in X s.t. ||x||=1} has a G$_\delta$-diagonal with slices. We also prove some transference results. In the third part of the dissertation we begin a study of uniformly rotund renorming theory.

description: The observation of small bodies in the Space Environment is an ongoing important task in astronomy. While nowadays new objects are mostly detected in larger sky surveys, several follow-up observations are usually needed for each object to improve the accuracy of orbit determination. In particular objects orbiting close to Earth, so called Near-Earth Objects are of special concern as a small but not negligible fraction of them can have a non-zero impact probability with Earth. Telescopes are often hosted by amateur observatories. With upcoming new NEO search campaigns by very wide field of view telescopes, like the Vera C. Rubin Observatory, NASA's NEO surveyor space mission and ESA's Flyeye telescopes, the number of NEO discoveries will increase dramatically. This will require an increasing number of useful telescopes for follow-up observations at different geographical locations. While well-equipped amateur astronomers often host instruments which might be capable of creating useful measurements, both observation planning and scheduling, and also analysis are still a major challenge for many observers. In this work we present a fully robotic planning, scheduling and observation pipeline that extends the widely used open-source cross-platform software KStars/Ekos for INDI devices. The method consists of algorithms which automatically select NEO candidates with priority according to ESA's NEOCC. It then analyses detectable objects (based on limiting magnitudes, geographical position, and time) with preliminary ephemeris from the Minor Planet Center. Optimal observing slots during the night are calculated and scheduled. Immediately before the measurement the accurate position of the minor body is recalculated and finally the images are taken. Besides the detailed description of all components, we will show a complete robotic hard- and software solution based on our methods.

description: Quantum key distribution (QKD) is a concept of secret key exchange supported by fundamentals of quantum physics. Its perfect realization offers unconditional key security, however, known practical schemes are potentially vulnerable if the quantum channel loss exceeds a certain realization-specific bound. This discrepancy is caused by the fact that any practical photon source has a non-zero probability of emitting two or more photons at a time, while theory needs exactly one. We report an essentially different QKD scheme based on both quantum physics and theory of relativity. It works flawlessly with practical photon sources at arbitrary large channel loss. Our scheme is naturally tailored for free-space optical channels, and may be used in ground-to-satellite communications, where losses are prohibitively large and unpredictable for conventional QKD.

description: We show how exact diagonalization of small clusters can be used as a fast and reliable impurity solver by determining the phase diagram and physical properties of the bosonic single-impurity Anderson model. This is specially important for applications which require the solution of a large number of different single-impurity problems, such as the bosonic dynamical mean field theory of disordered systems. In particular, we investigate the connection between spontaneous global gauge symmetry breaking and the occurrence of Bose-Einstein condensation (BEC). We show how BEC is accurately signaled by the appearance of broken symmetry, even when a fairly modest number of states is retained. The occurrence of symmetry breaking can be detected both by adding a small conjugate field or, as in generic quantum critical points, by the divergence of the associated phase susceptibility. Our results show excellent agreement with the considerably more demanding numerical renormalization group (NRG) method. We also investigate the mean impurity occupancy and its fluctuations, identifying an asymmetry in their critical behavior across the quantum phase transitions between BEC and `Mott' phases.

description: In malting and brewing, early assessment of small batches of barley is of great interest. Thus, micro-malting methods on a laboratory scale are needed in order to determine the potential quality of raw materials, particularly of new advanced barley genotypes or registered varieties grown under alternative environmental conditions, as well as for countless R&D projects. However, the applicability of laboratory-scale results to industry is often poor and the necessary equipment expensive. The aim of this experiment was to validate and optimize a simple alternative micro-malting mesh-bag-based method to be more representative of the industrial quality than other micro-malting based methods. Comparing the new alternative method on the laboratory and industrial scale, it was observed that, in absolute terms, the quality of the malt obtained through standard micro-malting laboratory equipment is overrated compared with that obtained through the other two methods. Furthermore, the relative malt quality through the mesh-bag was closer to the industrial sample quality. There were no significant statistical allelopathic interactions between alternative bagged genotypes and genotypes used in the commercial batches. Through this alternative micro-malting method, there is the possibility to study the varietal and environmental effects on the malt quality. This alternative micro-malting bag scale was inexpensive, easy to implement, safe, and more representative of actual industrial scale data. Supplemental data for this article is available online at

Why Catechin and Epicatechin from Early Hopping Impact the Color of Aged Dry-Hopped Beers while Flavan-3-ol Oligomers from Late and Dry Hopping Increase Colloidal Instability

description: Dry hopping imparts distinct aromas but also a series of non-volatile compounds suspected of causing flavor and physical instability during beer storage. In this work, color, chill haze, total polyphenols, total flavanoids, and flavan-3-ol monomers (catechin and epicatechin) and oligomers (procyanidin dimers and trimers) were monitored in five commercial pale-colored Belgian dry-hopped beers over 24 months of storage at 20 °C in the dark. Fresh dry-hopped beers contained unusually high levels of flavan-3-ol monomers (up to 6.6 mg/L) and oligomers (up to 14.1 and 10.2 mg/L dimers and trimers, respectively). The increase in color intensity during storage (up to 6.4°EBC) correlated with fresh beer monomer levels, while the oligomer content correlated with chill haze formation (up to 25.7°EBC). The evolution of these two physical attributes also correlated with the level of total polyphenols in the fresh beers. In a pilot-scale production, kettle hopping was shown to impart either monomers (early) or oligomers (late), while dry hopping promoted efficient extraction of both monomers and dimers (extraction yields of 62 and 74%, respectively). Dry hopping thus plays an important role in color and chill haze increase.

description: While tremendous advances in visual and auditory realism have been made for virtual and augmented reality (VR/AR), introducing a plausible sense of physicality into the virtual world remains challenging. Closing the gap between real-world physicality and immersive virtual experience requires a closed interaction loop: applying user-exerted physical forces to the virtual environment and generating haptic sensations back to the users. However, existing VR/AR solutions either completely ignore the force inputs from the users or rely on obtrusive sensing devices that compromise user experience. By identifying users' muscle activation patterns while engaging in VR/AR, we design a learning-based neural interface for natural and intuitive force inputs. Specifically, we show that lightweight electromyography sensors, resting non-invasively on users' forearm skin, inform and establish a robust understanding of their complex hand activities. Fuelled by a neural-network-based model, our interface can decode finger-wise forces in real-time with 3.3% mean error, and generalize to new users with little calibration. Through an interactive psychophysical study, we show that human perception of virtual objects' physical properties, such as stiffness, can be significantly enhanced by our interface. We further demonstrate that our interface enables ubiquitous control via finger tapping. Ultimately, we envision our findings to push forward research towards more realistic physicality in future VR/AR.

description: Deep Reinforcement Learning (RL) is unquestionably a robust framework to train autonomous agents in a wide variety of disciplines. However, traditional deep and shallow model-free RL algorithms suffer from low sample efficiency and inadequate generalization for sparse state spaces. The options framework with temporal abstractions is perhaps the most promising method to solve these problems, but it still has noticeable shortcomings. It only guarantees local convergence, and it is challenging to automate initiation and termination conditions, which in practice are commonly hand-crafted. Our proposal, the Deep Variational Q-Network (DVQN), combines deep generative- and reinforcement learning. The algorithm finds good policies from a Gaussian distributed latent-space, which is especially useful for defining options. The DVQN algorithm uses MSE with KL-divergence as regularization, combined with traditional Q-Learning updates. The algorithm learns a latent-space that represents good policies with state clusters for options. We show that the DVQN algorithm is a promising approach for identifying initiation and termination conditions for option-based reinforcement learning. Experiments show that the DVQN algorithm, with automatic initiation and termination, has comparable performance to Rainbow and can maintain stability when trained for extended periods after convergence.

description: This document D7.3 System Validation and Evaluation describes the effectiveness of the VALKYRIES outcomes according to the validation and evaluation methodology (D7.1). This deliverable includes all the activities related to testing the components, modules, interfaces, procedures, etc., reference integrated as well as their interoperability, normalization, and harmonization to support first aid responses on disaster scenarios. This covers the evaluation of the whole VALKYRIES reference architecture, with integration tests and system validations.
Functional, modular, inter-modular, scalability and security tests were executed on the testbed developed and integrated in the adapted virtual labs and testbeds (T7.1). The validation and evaluation of integrations for use case demonstration and their outcomes will be performed, including a broad study based on the expectations and null/alternative hypothesis, and the impact of the massive cross-border demonstrations in both the attending stakeholders and the expected operational and collaborative enhancements. The latter will also assess the effect of the demonstration outcomes bearing in mind the opinions of experts.
The following summarises the main contributions of D7.3:
- Harmonisations to be verified by Inspection, analysis, test, and demonstration.
- The scope of the harmonization opportunities and justification.  System Validation definition
- Criteria for assessing compliance based on effectiveness measures (EM), performance measures (MR) and parameters or key performance indicators (KPIs). 
The results achieved in each verification test, the quality of the results and the validation questionnaires are provided in each UC Report. 
Changes from previous version A0 of this document have been highlighted in yellow according to the general project review consolidated report for easy identification.

description: We deform conformal field theories with classical gravity duals by marginally relevant random disorder. We show that the disorder generates a flow to IR fixed points with a finite amount of disorder. The randomly disordered fixed points are characterized by a dynamical critical exponent $z>1$ that we obtain both analytically (via resummed perturbation theory) and numerically (via a full simulation of the disorder). The IR dynamical critical exponent increases with the magnitude of disorder, probably tending to $z \to \infty$ in the limit of infinite disorder.

The Global Care Chain: An Ethics of Care Approach to Transnational Gender Justice in Migrant Domestic Care Work

description: In recent decades, there has been a growing phenomenon of women migrating from the Global South to work as live-in caregivers for households in the Global North. This creates a tension between local and transnational pursuits of gender justice - while care worker migration “liberates” women in the Global North from care burdens by giving them the freedom to choose between work and care, it also perpetuates gender injustice transnationally. The thesis is framed in two parts. Firstly, it argues that the dominant egalitarian paradigm is insufficient in characterizing the issues of injustice that arise from the industry of migrant domestic care work. Secondly, it forwards a positive argument for an ethics of care approach that is grounded in an empirical view of the self as relational, vulnerable, and embodied. By foregrounding care relations as a central aspect of justice, an ethics of care provides a simultaneously critical and complementary approach to egalitarianism, by painting a more complete picture of how the industry for migrant domestic care work perpetuates systemic inadequacies in care, and by being better able to motivate solidarity and action for transnational gender justice.

description: The delay in aging observed in long-lived individuals (LLIs) runs in families and has become the object of intense investigation. LLIs are thought to be enriched/depleted in single-nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) that influence aging, a phenomenon associated with progressive decline in nitric oxide (NO) production and impairment of endothelial function. Preliminary data have shown that a variation of the bactericidal/permeability-increasing fold-containing family B member 4 (BPIFB4) is highly enriched in three independent LLIs populations. It was part of a four-SNPs haplotype that codified for a wild type-WT, a Longevity Associated Variant-LAV and a Rare Variant-RV. We have demonstrated the ability of the Longevity Associated Variant of BPIFB4, LAV-BPIFB4, to induce an improvement in vascular reactivity in opposition to changes in age. Thus, LAV-BPIFB4 may provide a potential tool for innovative therapeutic strategies aimed at fighting age-related dysfunction.

description: Beer flavor is primarily impacted by malt kilning and the choice of yeast/hops in the beer recipe. Although barley malt is the material backbone of most beers, variety has until recently been largely overlooked with respect to flavor differences. In this study, 11 malt variety samples from multiple Australian and international (UK, Canada, China) growing regions were infusion mashed (65 °C) at laboratory scale to produce unboiled wort to investigate differences between the flavor profiles observed with sensory assessment and headspace-SPME gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (HS-SPME GC-MS). Sensory evaluation identified wort flavor differences with the control heritage samples, Maris Otter/Schooner, having the highest overall flavor complexity and acceptability. The Chinese malted Chinese/Canadian samples had the lowest overall flavor complexity rankings. Overall, flavor complexity was correlated with KI, malt protein (negative), and β-glucosidase (negative), while sweetness intensity was correlated with limit dextrinase and pH. HS-SPME GC-MS analysis focused only on compounds that were significantly different between varieties (ANOVA, P ≤ 0.05). Overall, 107 compounds were identified with significantly different levels between the varietal worts. The resultant PCA plots (overall, aldehydes, alcohols, esters, organic acids, terpenes, ketones) supported the sensory assessment, with Maris Otter and the Australian samples clustering in different PCA sectors compared to the Chinese malted Canadian/Chinese samples. These findings provide a basis for key compound identifications that influence malt flavor through the brewing process. The results have the potential to assist barley breeders in selecting optimized germplasm for future variety development and can assist maltsters and brewers to consistently target desired flavors for finished beers and potentially whisk(e)y.

Novel structure formation of a phase separating colloidal fluid in a ratchet potential

description: Based on Dynamical Density Functional Theory (DDFT) we investigate a binary mixture of interacting Brownian particles driven over a substrate via a one-dimensional ratchet potential. The particles are modeled as soft spheres where one component carries a classical Heisenberg spin. In the absence of a substrate field, the system undergoes a first-order fluid-fluid demixing transition driven by the spin-spin interaction. We demonstrate that the interplay between the intrinsic spinodal decomposition and time-dependent external forces leads to a novel dynamical instability where stripes against the symmetry of the external potential form. This structural transition is observed for a broad range of parameters related to the ratchet potential. Moreover, we find intriguing effects for the particle transport.
