description: Soil is the first construction material used by man, widely available and low energy consuming [Quagliarini 2010]. Indeed, about 30% of the current world population lives in earthen structures and, in developing countries, this rate rise to 50%, mostly rural [Houben 2006]. Moreover, earthbased materials allow an improved balance and control of thermal and acoustic indoor climate compared to industrial construction materials. However, most of earthen structures do not reach current requirements in terms of mechanical, thermal or architectural [Aymerich 2012]. To respond to these requirements, a work at scientific and craftsman levels is necessary. Cob is an earth construction type wide-spread in Normandy. In this study, the mechanical behaviour cob is studied. Two different mixes currently used for cob constructions are firstly characterized. In traditional cob, straw is usually used. Straw can act as a thermal insulation material which allows creating pleasant indoor temperatures during unpleasant weather conditions [Bouhicha 2005]. Moreover, adding vegetable fibres can reduce materials thermal conductivity [Khedariet 2005]. An important characteristic for soil-based materials is water content. Usually, in building field, the required water content is the Proctor optimum. However, cob making is done traditionally with higher water content in order to have a plastic mix. In this study, several earth-fibres formulations are developed by varying fibres’ content as well as soil mixes. Mechanical and thermal behaviour of these materials is then determined and assessed according to fibres characteristics and content used and soil mixes characteristics. Results show that a higher fibre content lead to a weaker thermal conductivity of cob. This is due to a lower thermal conductivity of straw than soil and, also, to a smaller density of earth-fibre compared to earth only.

FAIR principles recommendations

description: OntoCommons aims at defining a semantic interoperability framework to support the documentation of industrial data with ontologies. Ontologies are at the cornerstone of the FAIR principles (Wilkinson et al., 2016).The FAIR principles provides a framework for machine actionable data and are used to support the implementation of the Open Science and Research Data Management strategy of the European Open Science Cloud (European Commission, 2022). They gained momentum both internationally in the research communities but also in industry. Supporting the implementation of the FAIR principles is one of the key objectives of the OntoCommons project. To achieve this goal, Task 1.3 aims at working together with the existing European and international projects and initiatives to both reuse their outcomes and to contribute to the their enrichment with industrial constraints.This document summarises the efforts of T1.3 to establish collaborations with relevant projects and initiatives in order to identify and use existing recommendations, guidelines and frameworks for supporting the implementation of FAIR principles within OntoCommons. This report provides a snapshot of our ongoing work in the course of the project.

description: There is an urgent need to improve the infrastructure supporting the reuse of scholarly data. A diverseset of stakeholders—representing academia, industry, funding agencies, and scholarly publishers—have come together to design and jointly endorse a concise and measureable set of principles that we refer to as the FAIR Data Principles. The intent is that these may act as a guideline for those wishing to enhance the reusability of their data holdings. Distinct from peer initiatives that focus on the humanscholar, the FAIR Principles put specific emphasis on enhancing the ability of machines to automaticallyfind and use the data, in addition to supporting its reuse by individuals. This Comment is the first formal publication of the FAIR Principles, and includes the rationale behind them, and some exemplar implementations in the community.

description: The present study aims at evaluating the impacts of raw materials variability (earth and hemp) on hempearth performances. This work is performed in the framework of the ECO-TERRA R&D project in collaboration with four French research laboratories, short circuit hemp producers and craftsmen specialized in hemp and earth constructions. This article is focused on the thermal conductivity, and mention preliminary results of the mechanical characterizations. The results are compared to lime-hemp materials, one of the most studied bio-based concrete for thermal insulation in R&D programs. The typical volumetric mass of a dry lime-hemp mixture is about 330 to 400 kg/m3, which corresponds to a thermal conductivity about λ = 0,11 W.m-1.K-1 (measured with hot plates, at 20°C and 50% relative humidity).

7 Affordable and Clean Energy

description: This paper investigates the energy efficiency and emissions benefits possible with connected and autonomous vehicles (CAVs). Such benefits could be instrumental in decarbonising the transport sector. The impact of CAV technology on operation, usage and specification of vehicles for optimised energy efficiency is considered. Energy consumption reductions of 55% - 66% are identified for a fully autonomous road transport system versus the present. 46% is possible for a CAV on today's roads. Smoothing effects and reduced stoppage in the drive cycle achieve a 31% reduction in travel time if speed limits are not reduced. CAV powertrain optimised for different scenarios requires just 10 kW - 40 kW maximum power whilst the vehicle mass is reduced by up to 40% relative to current cars. Urban-optimised powertrain, with only 10 kW - 15 kW maximum power, allows energy consumption reductions of over 71%. UK energy consumption by cars could be 30% - 45% of current levels with a fully autonomous road transport system, depending on an energy efficiency versus travel time trade off. This could be reduced to just 26% if ride-sharing in urban areas achieves a doubling in average occupancy and travel times remain at today's levels. A comparison of IC engine and battery-electric powertrains optimised for a fully autonomous road transport system indicates the benefits of electric powertrain, with a primary energy requirement per unit distance of the equivalent IC engine CAV. Greenhouse gas emissions per unit distance for the battery-electric CAV are 55% of an IC engine CAV with current UK electricity emissions intensity, reducing to 13% at 2030 emissions target levels. Reduced drive cycle energy requirements (44% of current levels) allow greater range and improved economics of electric vehicles whilst reduced power variance allows smaller batteries for hybrids, similarly helping their case.

description: The existence of illegal landfills is an environmental problem in most countries. However, research on this issue is scarce and limited by the availability and quality of data on the subject. Thus, most illegal landfill studies have only been conducted in a partial manner, focusing on geographical aspects or the causes of these landfills (lack of environmental awareness, inadequate waste management systems, and the role of local government). This research analyses a sample of 120 possible areas with illegal landfills in Andalusia using logistic regression in order to obtain a predictive model for the occurrence of these landfills, including both types of variables (geographical and behavioural) jointly. The results confirm that the variables that most influence the occurrence of illegal landfills are spatial (“Industrial Land”, “Plains” and “Rural Land”); whilst the variables that most reduce the likelihood of illegal landfills are those related to certain characteristics of the municipal waste management system and environmental awareness, such as “Availability of Recycling Facilities”, “Punitive Policies”, “Supervision” and “Awareness-raising Campaigns”. The model obtained shows that variables of very different nature and magnitude interact in the occurrence of illegal landfills, each of which contributes a series of features characteristic of its scale. It is advisable, therefore, to perform an analysis using a multi-scale approach in order to gain an overall understanding of the phenomenon.

description: This study presents the analyses of urinary biomarkers (1-OHPyr, α- and β-naphthols) of polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) exposure and biomarkers of effect (i.e. blood parameters) in petroleum-refinery workers (RFs) and auto-repair workers (MCs). Exposed subjects had higher concentrations of white blood cell (WBC) count than control subjects (CN) subjects (5.31 × 103 μL−1 in exposed vs. 5.15 × 103 μL−1 in CN subjects), while the biomarker of oxidative DNA damage (8-OHdG) was significantly higher in MCs. The exposure among these two cohorts could be influenced by the ambience of the workplaces; in fact, MCs’ shops are relatively damp and enclosed workplaces in comparison with the indoor environment of refineries. PAHs in the dust samples from mechanical workshops probably originated from mixed sources (traffic exhaust and petroleum spills), while the incremental lifetime cancer risk (ILCR) for MCs showed moderate-to-low cancer risk from exposure to dust-bound PAHs. The study shows that increasing PAH exposure can be traced in MC workstations and needs to be investigated for the safety of public health.

description: Aminophenols (AP) are synthetic intermediates in pharmaceutical, photographic and chemical dye industry. They can be released into the environment from wastewater and can react during water treatment processes. Therefore, it was interesting to study the oxidation of AP with chlorine and monochloramine in aqueous solution. In particular, the chlorination and monochloramination of 3-aminophenol (3AP) were investigated, and the formation of first by-products and kinetic rates were determined. The chlorination rate was 3.6 × 105 times greater than the monochloramination rate at pH 8.6. Two reaction pathways can explain the variation of the monochloramination apparent rate constant with pH. The first one was an electrophilic substitution of Cl+ on the aromatic ring of the non-ionized 3AP, leading to the formation of chloroaminophenol, with an individual rate constant of 6.7 × 102 M−1 h−1. The second reaction pathway was a monochloramine attack on the amino group of 3AP catalyzed at acidic pH with an individual rate constant of 9.2 × 109 × M−2 × h−1.

description: This work is part of the PNEEB / TYPHA project for the use of an invasive reed, the Typha Australis, as a thermal insulation which aims to contribute to the energy efficiency of buildings in Senegal. The Typha australis is widespread in aquatic environments and in humid regions, particularly in the Senegal River valley, whose proliferation has become an ecological threat. In this study, an agromaterial based on aggregates of Typha australis and clay is prepared: the influence of the morphology and of the amount of Typha on the behaviour of the material are investigated. Different combinations are tested. The first two have almost the same amount of binder but they differ in the production mode of the Typha aggregates: one type of the aggregates uses the longitudinal section of the plant while the other uses its cross-section. The third combination is an aggregate produced by cross-section with a higher amount of binder. Compression tests are carried out and the following properties are determined: apparent modulus and compressive strength. The Moisture Buffering Value is also characterized. The reaction to fire is estimated. The results show an impact of the amount of aggregates on the compressive strength. However, the influence of the morphology of the aggregates is negligible on this test. This material is an excellent moisture regulator regardless of the part of the Typha aggregate that is used. This material can be considered as a combustible but non-flammable material due to the presence of clay.

description: High entropy alloys (HEAs) have been drawing increasing attention recently and gratifying results have been obtained. However, the existing metallurgic rules of HEAs could not provide specific information of selecting candidate alloys for structural applications. Our brief survey reveals that many commercial superalloys have medium and even to high configurational entropies. The experience of commercial superalloys provides a clue for helping us in the development of HEAs for structural applications.

description: This paper was presented at the ASCILITE (Australasian Society for Computers in Learning in Tertiary Education) 2019 Conference (Personalised Learning. Diverse Goals. One Heart.) This poster was awarded the Best Full Paper presented at the ASCILITE annual conference 2019.AbstracteLearning can create more flexibility for students; more efficiently utilise infrastructure; and can provide high-quality learning at scale. We have investigated perceived value and learning gains associated with online (eLearning) and face-to-face (f2f) components of a blended learning experience. We hypothesised that individual student preference for eLearning and f2f learning would be variable but that participation in f2f learning opportunities would enhance student learning. Using a design-based research approach, we have evaluated blended learning with interactive eLearning materials, and a collaborative, active f2f class. We have combined qualitative evaluation survey data and quantitative f2f attendance data and student grades. Students overwhelmingly value active learning, both within eLearning materials and f2f classes. Final marks positively correlate with the number of f2f classes students attend. Analysis of a subset of intended learning outcomes (ILOs) shows that students who access the eLearning materials independently and students who attend the f2f class perform equally-well in ILO-related assessment tasks; however, students are more likely to choose an assessment task directly-related to a class they have attended. We suggest that attendance at f2f classes as part of a blended learning experience is beneficial however students can sufficiently obtain selected ILOs from engaging eLearning materials.

description: The protein S100P has been associated with the aggressiveness of several neoplastic disease, including pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). S100 proteins are a family of calcium binding proteins that are small dimeric members of the EF-hand superfamily of Ca2+ binding proteins. In pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma, protein S100P is overexpressed, and thereby meditate tumour growth, drug resistance and metastasis. Extracellular S100P binding to the cell surface receptor for advanced glycation end products (RAGE), triggers downstream signalling pathways and mediates cell growth and differentiation, cell cycle regulation and metabolic control. An effective treatment strategy would be to disrupt the formation of this S100P-RAGE complex by blocking the active binding site of S100P to the RAGE receptor. The aim of the present study was to investigate the interactions of drug compounds that are designed to block the S100P-RAGE complex formation. In order to perform this S100P protein was expressed in Escherichia. coli using a recombinant plasmid for wild type S100P and purified by affinity chromatography using a HisTrap column. The purity of the protein was assessed using sodium dodecyl sulphate polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE). The concentration of the purified protein was determined by either the Bradford assay or bicinchoninic acid assay (BCA). In this study, the interactions sites of the recombinant S100P with each of the compounds was assessed by nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The interaction sites were modelled by a HADDOCK approach, using the interacting residues as constraints to model the structure. In conclusion the ligands C72, IBS409, IBS798 and IBS863 were identified to interact with S100P mainly in the hydrophobic pockets of the protein S100P. Binding sites of the ligands were identified via NMR, and the binding was found to be dominated by hydrophobic interactions. Further ITC experimentation may be required in order to gain an understanding of the stoichiometry and the binding affinity for these ligands.

description: Can evidence reconcile idealized policy formation processes with the messy reality of large-scale sustainable projects? Was the main driver of the UK eco-towns project the national housing need or a local version of sustainability? To answer, this paper traces the progress of the eco-town policy: from a government-funded initiative to start a cohort of new towns, via the first pilot sites, to the delivery of a single eco-town. It maps the national policy intent, which incorporated industry and academic expertise into a strategic policy vision. Then the local interpretation of this generic eco-town definition is reviewed, along with how the authoritative knowledge on innovative eco-planning is distilled into guidance. By revisiting the original eco-town objectives, comparing them with the recently published garden cities prospectus, the limitations for intra-national implementation of national policy frameworks are considered, asking whether any lessons have been incorporated in the current round of policy formation. The success or failure of such policy implementation is found to be more of a socio-political exercise than an empirical or rationalist process. The eco-towns were less an attempt to establish new forms of sustainable habitations than a political attempt to use eco-planning to justify new large-scale housing settlements.

description: Since 2003 the Centre for Egyptological Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (CES RAS) has been conducting underwater archaeological reconnaissance in Alexandria (Egypt). A concession assigned to the CES RAS by the Supreme Council for Antiquities of Egypt includes a vast water area of around 80 km2. A part of it is occupied by the modern Western port of Alexandria but the remaining area (c. 30 km2, its depth is up to 40 m) contains numerous traces of submerged port structures and ancient navigation. The work was concentrated at two zones — at the regions of Anfushi and Agami capes. The remains of a massive breakwater, numerous ancient anchors and a cargo of a Hellenistic shipwreck dating from the middle of the 4th–2nd centuries BC were discovered here. In addition, the remains of a shipwreck of the late 18th century (French transport ship ‘Le Patriote’) were examined, including a sea gun and numerous firearms. The most promising directions of future activities of the CES RAS in Alexandria are considered in the ‘Conclusions’.

Одной из задач специалистов по текстилю было получение максимально полной научной информации в полевых условиях. Использовалась отточенная за годы работы и хорошо себя зарекомендовавшая методика описания тканей, являющихся на египетских памятниках массовым материалом. Однако для более подробного изучения многих фрагментов и подготовки их к публикации требовалось провести их первичную реставрацию. При этом за последние 10 лет методика осуществления такого рода работ была адаптирована к особенностям нашего материала. Результаты первичной реставрации фрагментов тканей представлены в данной статье.

description: The sarcophagus of Tjay, a royal scribe of correspondence of the Lord of the Two Lands, was discovered in 1905 by R. Mond in the burial chamber of TT 23. Since then this object did not attract scholarly attention. Due to the fact that the corpus of private sarcophagi of the New Kingdom is still to be compiled, it seems important to provide some details on this object. The sarcophagus if Tjay is mummiform, its lid represents the deceased as a mummy with exposed face and hands. The sarcophagus is hewn out of pink granite. Its length is app. 267 cm, which corresponds to the ‘large’ size of the New Kingdom anthropomorphic sarcophagi. It is possible that it was made by two groups of stoneworkers — gangs of the right and the left hands. Defects of stone and faults of workers were fixed with clay. The shape of the coffin is irregular: outlines and dimensions of the chest and lid do not match. Outer surface of the sarcophagus is decorated with painted reliefs. The main subjects of these reliefs are guarding the deceased, who is identified with Osiris, by the goddesses Isis and Nephthys, and vignettes and the text of the ‘Spell 161’ of the ‘Book of the Dead’. The closest parallels to the sarcophagus of Tjay are granite sarcophagi of Amenhotep Huy from Mit-Rahina, Amenempope and Djhutimes from Thebes (TT 41 and TT 32). A relatively small number of inscriptions and mentioning of the owner’s name only twice are among peculiarities of Tjay’s sarcophagus. This can be a sign of speedy production or adaptation of a sarcophagus that was made for sale.

description: С 2006 г. Центр египтологических исследований РАН ведет археологические работы в фиванской гробнице No 23 (ТТ 23). В ходе полевого сезона 2019 г. были изучены и описаны фрагменты 13 мумифицированных тел. Для каждого индивида произведена реконструкция процедуры мумификации. В результате были выявлены признаки как общие для всех погребенных, так и разделяющие их на группы. Полученные данные помогут установить локальные варианты обряда мумификации, практиковавшиеся на памятнике в разные периоды его существования.

description: В ноябре 2019 г. в фиванской гробнице чиновника Чаи (ТТ 23) работала экспедиция Центра египтологических исследований Российской академии наук (ЦЕИ РАН). Методика описания такого массового археологического материала, как ткани, уже давно разработана и за прошедшее время хорошо себя зарекомендовала. В ходе изучения древнеегипетского текстиля выявились интересные особенности различных частей ткацкого куска, на которые необходимо обращать внимание. Статья продолжает серию работ, посвященных тканям из гробницы ТТ 23, но в данном случае основной акцент сделан на раскрытии устоявшихся понятий, связанных с технологическими характеристиками текстиля, таких как начало и конец ткацкого куска, боковая кромка и декор. Одни элементы являются датирующими, но дату по ним можно установить лишь примерно и она будет представлять собой большой временной отрезок, другие — нет.

description: В статье сделан обзор проблем, связанных с тем периодом истории Египта, когда он входил в состав Римской империи в качестве одной из ее провинций. Через их призму автор анализирует папирусные документы, содержащие сведения о Мемфисе — одном из важнейших городских центров Египта начиная с эпохи Древнего царства. Среди имеющихся источников выделяется группа, составляющая единый архив, который, по-видимому, происходит из канцелярии одного из органов государственной власти в Мемфисе. Изучение этих документов может пролить свет на историю Мемфиса в римскую эпоху.

description: The primary concern for plant-fibre reinforced cementitious composites is the durability of the fibres in the highly alkaline environment of the cement matrix. The flax fibres reinforced cementitious composites (FFRM) may undergo a reduction in strength and toughness as a result of weakening of the fibres by a combination of alkali attack and mineralisation through the migration of hydration products to the flax fibre lumen. This paper presents a way to improve the durability of FFRMs by a replacement of the ordinary Portland cement matrix by alternative binders such as metakaolin, ground granulated blast-furnace slag or sulfo-aluminous cement. The properties of fresh mortars were first studied (workability, entrapped air, fresh density). The mechanical properties (3-points flexural and compressive tests) were then tested after several cure periods: 7, 28 and 90 days. In fresh state, the use of alternative binders does not significantly affect mortar properties. However, the GGBS improves the fresh mortar workability. The additives influence the compressive strength of the mortars. C A cement results in a significant decrease, regardless of the curing period. With MK and GGBS, the 7-day strengths are lower due to the pozzolanic reaction. However, those at 90 days are equivalent to CEM-100 and even higher with GGBS. The use of alternative binders limit the degradation of the fibers between 28 and 90 days of treatment. The toughness has been improved using some alternative binders, such as calcium sulfo-aluminous cement.

title: Using existing buildings as material banks in the UK

description: Although the practice of Building As Material Banks (BAMB) is gaining momentum, it remains in its nascent stages compared to recycling or retrofitting. Existing knowledge either pertains to broader circular economy topics or lacks focus on the UK-built environment. Given the dynamic nature of the subject, with new guidelines emerging rapidly, it is crucial to comprehend the lack of actions in BAMB even with its economic and social benefits. This paper presents insights obtained through interviews with nine UK circular economy experts from diverse stakeholder roles, including architects, clients, stockists etc. Utilising both quantitative and qualitative analysis methods, the research sheds light on both the hierarchy of urgency for barriers and suggestions as well as the current practice for reuse. Despite cost barriers being identified as a primary obstacle, most participants exhibited a positive outlook towards the current progress, indicating a growing interest in reuse. The study emphasises the need for effective legislation and inter-stakeholder collaboration in promoting BAMB adoption. Furthermore, the interviewer's sentiments underscore the significance of swift action in overcoming psychological barriers such as risk and unfamiliarity with BAMB practices.

description: We show that, although the equilibrium band dispersion of the Shockley-type surface state of two-dimensional Au(111) quantum films grown on W(110) does not deviate from the expected free-electron-like behavior, its nonequilibrium energy-momentum dispersion probed by time- and angle-resolved photoemission exhibits a remarkable kink above the Fermi level due to a significant enhancement of the effective mass. The kink is pronounced for certain thicknesses of the Au quantum well and vanishes in the very thin limit. We identify the kink as induced by the coupling between the Au(111) surface state and emergent quantum-well states which probe directly the buried gold-tungsten interface. The signatures of the coupling are further revealed by our time-resolved measurements which show that surface state and quantum-well states thermalize together behaving as dynamically locked electron populations. In particular, relaxation of hot carriers following laser excitation is similar for both surface state and quantum-well states and much slower than expected for a bulk metallic system. The influence of quantum confinement on the interplay between elementary scattering processes of the electrons at the surface and ultrafast carrier transport in the direction perpendicular to the surface is shown to be the reason for the slow electron dynamics.

description: The Scrivia river is a right tributary of the Po river, the main Italian water course, which flows eastwards into the Adriatic Sea. The head of the Scrivia valley is located in the Northern Apennines, a very short distance from the Ligurian Sea. Its catchment is characterized by landslide areas greater than both the regional and national average. In this work, the causes of this high landslide density have been investigated and a large-scale map of landslide phenomena is produced. Based on geomorphological constraints, several previously unknown deep-seated gravitational slope deformations (DSGSDs) were also identified. DSGSDs have been distinguished in sackungen and lateral spreads. Their characteristics were analyzed in a geographical information system (GIS) environment and compared with landslide distribution. Field surveys, aerial photo-interpretation and GIS analyses led to the production of a large-scale landslide and DSGSD overview map at 1:35,000. The massive presence of DSGSDs and their connection to landslide distribution and activity raise important implications for both geological mapping and land planning.

description: Abstract This paper provides an overview of the PISA design model recently developed for laterally loaded offshore wind turbine monopiles through a major European joint-industry academic research project, the PISA Project. The focus was on large diameter, relatively rigid piles, with low length to diameter (L/D) ratios, embedded in clay soils of different strength characteristics, sand soils of different densities and in layered soils combining clays and sands. The resulting design model introduces new procedures for site specific calibration of soil reaction curves that can be applied within a one-dimensional (1D), Winkler-type, computational model. This paper summarises the results and key conclusions from PISA, including design methods for (a) stiff glacial clay till (Cowden till), (b) brittle stiff plastic clay (London clay), (c) soft clay (Bothkennar clay), (d) sand of varying densities (Dunkirk), and, (e) layered profiles (combining soils from (a) to (d)). The results indicate that the homogeneous soil reaction curves applied appropriately for layered profiles in the 1D PISA design model provide a very good fit to the three-dimensional finite element (3D FE) calculations, particularly for profiles relevant to current European offshore wind farm sites. Only a small number of cases, involving soft clay, very dense sand and L/D = 2 monopiles, would appear to require more detailed and bespoke analysis.
