description: Recent hydrocarbon exploration in the northern sector of the Western Desert in Egypt has revealed relatively rich hydrocarbon accumulations, mainly of gas, and demonstrate promising future prospects. In order to improve our understanding of this area and to provide a biostratigraphical framework for the hitherto poorly dated Lower Cretaceous successions, a palynological analysis was carried out on 57 ditch cutting samples from the Abu Tunis 1x borehole. Palynostratigraphic investigation on these samples has enabled the identification of three new palynostratigraphically defined age divisions with three corresponding palynozones defined by first uphole occurrences of gymnosperm and angiosperm pollen and dinoflagellate cysts. Spore and pollen grains recovered from the Abu Tunis 1x borehole show the characteristics of the pre-Albian Dicheiropollis/Afropollis Phytogeographical Province. Discrepancies in the reported range of Dicheiropollis etruscus, when compared with earlier (Berriasian) appearances in West Africa and later (late Hauterivian) appearances in East Africa, may be attributed to palaeoecological factors. Dicheiropollis etruscus is accepted as having a cheirolepidiacean conifer affinity and is regarded as having been produced by a thermophilous plant. Here, we suggest that Dicheiropollis etruscus was adapted to arid conditions. Dicheiropollis etruscus thus first appeared in hot, dry palaeo-subtropical African regions, but as Western Gondwana broke up and the African Plate moved northeast during/after the Late Jurassic, the region that is now present-day Egypt, Libya and Sudan had moved by the late Hauterivian into a subtropical position; the ensuing increased aridity thus allowed Dicheiropollis etruscus to migrate into these areas.

description: Sawdust is an excellent bio based waste material that can be effectively used in replacing fine aggregate in concrete or mortar. The available research output related to sawdust incorporated concrete is limited; however, valuable information on strength of sawdust concrete can be found. This study aimed to obtain compressive strength, flexural strength and drying shrinkage of GGBS and sawdust incorporated mortar. The maximum size of fine aggregate and sawdust is of 2.36 mm and 1.18 mm, respectively. Mortar specimens were prepared by changing the amount of GGBS as 0%, 50% and 70%. The amount of sawdust was kept constant. The measured density of sawdust mortar shows a significant difference with initial assumed density which questions the accuracy of the initial mix design of sawdust mortar. Water absorption in sawdust mortar at 7 days is approximately 14% with a slight decrease at 28 days. The highest compressive strength is achieved when the amount of GGBS replacement is 50%. The addition of extra alkali has not shown additional strength development or visible chemical reaction with sawdust. Drying shrinkage at 28 days in all specimens is in the range of 200-400 microns; however, it is increasing up to 1000 microns at 90 days. The results show that the sawdust replacement in mortar could still maintain some structural properties; however, the effect on durability properties should be investigated further.

description: Applying by-products as soil amendments to agricultural systems is growing in popularity. We aimed to assess the efficacy of some contemporary by-products to provide nutrients to crops as well as the potential harm of adding toxic elements to the environment. Four different by-products widely available in Northern Europe were tested for their effects on two nutrient-poor agricultural soils in terms of increasing available macro- and micro-nutrients as well as toxic elements. Assessing soil microbial community as a sensitive tool for evaluating soil quality was conducted with the focus on microbial activity, carbon metabolism and on Rhizobium/Agrobacterium. Wood ash increased pH and CaEDTA, KEDTA and MgEDTA in the soils. The only increase in EDTA-extractable micronutrients in the soils was observed by applying pot ale, increasing Cu. None of the amendments increased the availability of Pb and Cd in the soils. Soils amended with the by-products thus remained similar to the unamended control but were quite different from fully mineral fertilised soils. There were no detectable adverse effects on the physiological and genetic profiles of microbial communities. The by-products were moderately beneficial and did not change the soil microbial community as much as the fully fertilised treatment with mineral fertilisers. Changes in the microbial community profiles were probably due to direct effects on microbes limited by K, Ca and N as opposed to indirect effects on plant growth. This is potentially significant in understanding how to improve impoverished and marginal soils as microbial activity affects many other ecosystem functions.

description: Point cloud pre-processing is essential for emerging applications such as digital twinning but currently requires a lot of manual effort before the resulting data can be used. Practitioners usually use default scan range settings to take full scans, which generate huge point cloud datasets containing millions of points. However, only a fraction of the dataset is used for subsequent twinning processes and the remaining data is “noise”. Researchers need to perform substantial cropping work to enable the point cloud can be used for detecting objects of interest. However, the problem of object detection in the post-processing stage also remains unresolved. This paper describes a new system TOSS to conduct a target-oriented scanning process. It streamlines the scan-to-gDT (geometric digital twin) process by automatically identifying the region of interest and its corresponding scanning path. TOSS consists of a cost-effective 3-DoF rotational laser scanner, a vision-based object detection algorithm, and a geometric-camera-model-based scanning control algorithm. Preliminary results on a real-world bridge indicate that TOSS can produce accurate scans of regions of interest (average: 95.5% Precision and 89.4% Recall). It is fully scalable and can be adapted to various infrastructure types, including buildings, bridges, industrial plants, tunnels, and roads. The algorithms also have great potential to be embedded in a traditional scanner’s software.

Projection formed and precast hemp-lime: better by design?

description: Projection forming and off-site pre-casting of hemp-lime panels are alternatives to traditional insitu casting that can offer several production benefits: minimised on-site time, improved quality assurance and lower drying times. The direction of compacting force applied with these methods is perpendicular to that of traditional on-site cast material and, in the case of projection formed, applied by different means. As a result the internal structure of the material will be aligned and shaped differently with consequent implications for the physical properties that must also be considered when selecting a method of production. This paper reports on the mechanical and thermal properties of hemp-lime produced by projection and by casting in two directions: vertical as per in-situ casting and horizontal as per pre-casting. The internal structure of the material in each case was assessed through image analysis and used to explain the measured differences in properties. The results indicate the importance of the orientated internal structure in determining the performance of this material and show that horizontally precast manufacture can provide inherent performance improvements over traditionally cast material in addition to the logistical benefits while projection forming may allow for thinner wall sections.

description: The use of gypsum plasterboard is ubiquitous within the construction industry and equates to an approximate 3.5% of the UK’s green house gas emissions. Production alone accounts for 67% of gypsum plasterboard’s life cycle global warming potential. Developing alternative boards, using materials with lower life-cycle impacts, offers significant scope to reduce current environmental impacts of plasterboard use. There has been an increase in research that demonstrates the potential of plasters with bio-aggregates to enhance indoor environmental quality. Board solutions that contain bio-aggregates within the core will help to further develop this potential. Such boards can be used in a conventional manner reducing on-site barriers to adoption, while offering a value added product with improved hygrothermal performance. This paper presents the development of an alternative plasterboard composed of hemp shiv which is bound by mineralogical aggregate composition. Different boards were developed using the binding properties of clay to ensure a low embodied environmental impact. The results of the different binding mechanisms of the clay based plasterboards were experimentally investigated and compared to conventional gypsum plasterboard. A range of mechanical and hygrothermal properties were investigated to establish the potential of a bio-based plasterboard. Standard test methods developed for gypsum plasterboard were used to establish the flexural, shear and impact resistance of the boards, while the investigation of hygrothermal properties considered the thermal conductivity, moisture buffering performance and isotherms. The alternative plasterboard had up to five times better moisture buffering properties compared to a gypsum plasterboard and a significantly lower thermal conductivity. While significant improvement of the hygrothermal properties have been observed, there has been a reduction in the mechanical performance of the alternative boards. However, rationale is presented indicating that the alternative plasterboards developed could be adopted in a comparable manner to conventional plasterboards, resulting in an improved indoor environmental quality with a reduced environmental impact.

description: ABSTRACT Background: Nicotine Dependence is an important public health issue. Nicotine Dependence is a risk factor for vascular diseases like Myocardial Infarction and Vascular dementia. The rate of nicotine dependence in Indian subjects with Vascular Dementia is not known. Hence we decided to assess Nicotine Dependence in subjects with Vascular Dementia Methods: Nicotine Dependence in subjects with Vascular Dementia was assessed among subjects presenting to Memory Clinic of a tertiary care hospital over a period of 16 months. Data regarding sociodemographic profile and severity of Nicotine Dependence as per Fagerstrom Nicotine Dependence Scale for smoking and smokeless tobacco was analysed using SPSS version 17. Results: Our study shows that in 159 subjects with Vascular Dementia Continuing Nicotine Dependence was seen in nearly 12 % of the subjects. Though the rates are less than the population prevalence for India, it is still relevant as nicotine is not just a risk factor for development of Vascular Dementia but severe nicotine dependence and longer duration of nicotine use were found to be poor prognostic factors associated with severe dementia. Further as all subjects continued to be nicotine dependent despite having been advised to quit tobacco, suggesting the need for a more comprehensive tobacco cessation intervention be offered to subjects with vascular dementia to improve outcomes. Conclusions: In subjects with Vascular Dementia continuing Nicotine Dependence is an important risk factor which must be addressed. Keywords: nicotine, tobacco, vascular dementia, severity.

description: This paper presents the context of the research and a literature review into the state of the art of creating mycelium products. A theoretical framework is described, the production process of mushroom farmers is researched and used to create mycelium composite with good mechanical properties, with a focus on compressive strength. The main goal of the research is to create blocks of mycelium composite that can be used in the building industry and can be tested on compressive strength in a wall configuration. Collaborating with local mushroom farmers and bio polymer specialists the influences of the type of mycelium, the growth (circumstances), the (type of) substrate, and the processing on the mechanical properties of the mycelium blocks are researched. Series of specimen and blocks with different properties and growing conditions are produced together with the mushroom farmer and tested. A rudimentary exploration of joining techniques and possible shapes of the blocks supports the design and construction of three small wall specimen with mycelium composite blocks. These proofs of concept are tested on compressive strength. The results are presented in this paper.

description: User Experience (UX) has been a buzzword in agile literature in recent years. However, often UX remains as a vague concept and it may be hard to understand the very nature of it in the context of agile software development. This paper explores the multifaceted UX literature, emphasizes the multi-dimensional nature of the concept and organizes the current state-of-the-art knowledge. As a starting point to better understand the contemporary meaning of UX assigned by practitioners, we selected four UX blogs and performed an analysis using a framework derived from the literature review. The preliminary results show that the practitioners more often focus on interaction between product and user and view UX from design perspective predominantly. While the economical perspective receives little attention in literature, it is evident in practitioners’ writings. Our study opens up a promising line of request of the contemporary meaning of UX in practice.

description: There were 1765 contacts identified between DNA nucleobases or deoxyribose and cyclic (W, H, F, Y) or acyclic (R, E, D) amino acids in 672 X-ray structures of DNA–protein complexes. In this first study to compare π-interactions between the cyclic and acyclic amino acids, visual inspection was used to categorize amino acid interactions as nucleobase π–π (according to biological edge) or deoxyribose sugar–π (according to sugar edge). Overall, 54% of contacts are nucleobase π–π interactions, which involve all amino acids, but are more common for Y, F, and R, and involve all DNA nucleobases with similar frequencies. Among binding arrangements, cyclic amino acids prefer more planar (stacked) π-systems than the acyclic counterparts. Although sugar–π interactions were only previously identified with the cyclic amino acids and were found to be less common (38%) than nucleobase–cyclic amino acid contacts, sugar–π interactions are more common than nucleobase π–π contacts for the acyclic series (61% of contacts). Similar to DNA–protein π–π interactions, sugar–π contacts most frequently involve Y and R, although all amino acids adopt many binding orientations relative to deoxyribose. These DNA–protein π-interactions stabilize biological systems, by up to approximately −40 kJ mol−1 for neutral nucleobase or sugar–amino acid interactions, but up to approximately −95 kJ mol−1 for positively or negatively charged contacts. The high frequency and strength, despite variation in structure and composition, of these π-interactions point to an important function in biological systems.

description: The need to reduce greenhouse gases emission produced by the building sector leads to the research of renewable and less impacting materials that can replace traditional ones. This study focuses on development of a new sustainable building material using hemp and natural clay. In this work, experimental investigation was carried out to study the mechanical performance of hemp clay composite. The composites are made with different Hemp to Binder mass ratio. The hemp to Binder ratio is estimated regarding traditional mix proportioning of hemp concrete used for floor, wall and roof. Firstly, hemp shiv was characterized in term of density, particle size distribution and water absorption. Then, the mechanical properties are determined to compare the mechanical behavior of the hemp clay composites with hemp concrete. The results show that the density of the composite materials varies with the H/B ratio. The density range between 373 kg/m3 and 510 kg/m3. It is shown that mechanical properties depend strongly on the Hemp to Binder ratio and on density. The tensile strength ranges from 0.021 to 0.026 MPa and the compressive strength ranges from 0.39 to 0.48 MPa. The results show that the mechanical performance of produced composite materials meets the requirements of the intended use.

description: For more then a decade the term User Experience (UX) has been highly debated and defined in many ways. However, often UX remains as a vague concept and it may be hard to understand the very nature of it. In this paper we aimed at providing a better understanding of this concept. We explored the multi-faceted UX literature, reviewing the current state-of-the-art knowledge and emphasizing the multi-dimensional nature of the concept. Based on the literature review we built a conceptual framework of UX using the elements that are linked to it and reported in different studies. To show the potential use of the framework, we examined the UX delivered by different phone applications on different mobile devices using the elements in the framework. Several interesting insights have been obtained in terms of how the phone applications deliver different UX. Our study opens up a promising line of investigating the contemporary meaning of UX.

description: For a profound understanding of traffic situations including a prediction of traf- fic participants’ future motion, behaviors and routes it is crucial to incorporate all available environmental observations. The presence of sensor noise and depen- dency uncertainties, the variety of available sensor data, the complexity of large traffic scenes and the large number of different estimation tasks with diverging requirements require a general method that gives a robust foundation for the de- velopment of estimation applications. In this work, a general description language, called Object-Oriented Factor Graph Modeling Language (OOFGML), is proposed, that unifies formulation of esti- mation tasks from the application-oriented problem description via the choice of variable and probability distribution representation through to the inference method definition in implementation. The different language properties are dis- cussed theoretically using abstract examples. The derivation of explicit application examples is shown for the automated driv- ing domain. A domain-specific ontology is defined which forms the basis for four exemplary applications covering the broad spectrum of estimation tasks in this domain: Basic temporal filtering, ego vehicle localization using advanced interpretations of perceived objects, road layout perception utilizing inter-object dependencies and finally highly integrated route, behavior and motion estima- tion to predict traffic participant’s future actions. All applications are evaluated as proof of concept and provide an example of how their class of estimation tasks can be represented using the proposed language. The language serves as a com- mon basis and opens a new field for further research towards holistic solutions for automated driving.

description: The majority of present day industrial processes/products are defined by several quality characteristics, for which the process variables need to be precisely modulated to meet the required specifications. Hence, the multi-response process optimization has become an increasingly important and demanding task. In practice, many of these quality characteristics under consideration show conflicts among themselves, which need to be simultaneously satisfied. This situation is aggravated when the quality characteristics show correlation. To remedy this shortfall, we present a novel multi-objective process optimization approach, based on weighted principal components (principal component scores weighted by their respective eigen values), response surface methodology and desirability function. The implementation of the suggested approach is presented on a study that discusses the optimization of light-colored and reduced phytate containing protein extraction process from rapeseed press-cake. The effectiveness of the said approach was confirmed by performing additional confirmatory experiments at the predicted optimal condition. Furthermore, this study suggests the feasibility of the exploitation of the waste oilseed cake for extraction of high quality vegetable protein, using viable process and simple computational procedure. This study also briefly highlights performance analyses in cross-flow batch extraction scheme using optimized condition.

(Millerand & Baker, 2020).To engage effectively with the EOSC, EU projects, RDA, and FAIR communities, OntoCommons has established a Knowledge Exchange Space for Data Management and Documentation (KExS). This space hosts a series of workshops and meetings attended by OntoCommons members and representatives from various related projects and initiatives. The document offers insights into the work undertaken in Task 1.4, which aims to foster close cooperation with infrastructures via EOSC and related initiatives. The EOSC landscape is dynamic, with numerous organizations and research teams striving to define and develop services and policies that meet the needs of research communities and industries. Through KExS events, participation in relevant gatherings, interactions with stakeholders, and engagement with OntoCommons' own stakeholders, strong and enduringconnections within this network have been established. In this deliverable, we report the activities of the task during the reporting period, namely the continuation of our networking activities within the KExS, the organisation of workshops and Jour Fixe to raise the awareness within and outside the project. We provide insights into additional relevant projects and a short update of the Strategic Research and Innovation Agenda (SRIA) in the context of European Data Infrastructures, and explain the European Data Spaces efforts and how they relate to OntoCommons. The document also provides a glimpse of future developments concerning EOSC Nodes.All these are players are to contribute to the building an infrastructure of services for data provisioning and creation. The material modelling domain will profit from these developments, given that contact with communities working on the data infrastructure components has been established during the OntoCommons project’s life.

description: The annular pulsed disc-and-doughnut column (APDDC) is an important type of solvent-extraction equipment used in the PUREX process. Though it has been used in several commercial reprocessing plants in the world, there are few research results reported in the literature. In the present work, experiments were carried out in a stainless steel annular pulsed disc-and-doughnut column with aqueous phase and organic phase as the continuous fluid separately. The air-purge method was used to measure parameters including the two-phase densities, column weight, and two-phase interface location, which were fed back to a computer for column control. The holdup and Sauter drop diameter, the latter of which was calculated based on the gravitational settling model, are correlated as functions of the operating conditions (such as pulsation intensity, total flux, and flow ratio). Flooding holdup and throughput were determined experimentally and found in good agreement with those predicted by the model of the Sauter drop diameter. Based on the experimental data, operating regimes are divided referring to existing models. In addition, the effects of internal wettability on the hydraulic characteristics are also discussed.

description: This document provides an overview of the service building activities conducted in the second year of the EUDAT 2020 project. The service building activities in the second year concentrated on further progressing on the consolidation and integration of the existing services, on the implementation the Collaborative Data Infrastructure (or CDI) architecture with support for metadata and a HTTP API, and on addressing requirements within the service building requirements procedure established in the first year. Further, the service building activities have been supplemented by an approach to define and use Technology Readiness Levels (TRL) as used by the European Commission within the EUDAT CDI and services. An initial assessment has been made to define TLR levels on current EUDAT services, either in production or in development.

description: Cloud computing has reached a certain level of maturity which leads to a defined productive state. With varying amount of computing power present with everyone, it has become necessity of the hour to use cloud computing systems. It helps us to store our data within a virtual cloud structure. When we use the cloud storage mechanism, the computing power gets distributed rather than being centralised. The whole system uses the internet communication to allow linkage between client side and server side services/applications. The service providers may use the cloud platform as a web service platform or a data storage architecture. The freedom to use any device and location for cloud management is an added advantage for any user. Maintenance of such systems is also easy as installation of resources aren’t required in each and every system which is using cloud services. But along with varying flexibility and multi tenancy in usage comes the question of reliability and security. As in public hosting, the client is totally unaware of the security strategies applied by the service provider, it creates a necessity for the end user to save the data from expected threats. One cannot totally rely on the quality of service (QoS) which is guaranteed by host servers. When we look at the security of data in the cloud computing, the vendor has to provide some assurance in service level agreements (SLA) to convince the customer on security factors. This paper describes a schema that ensures encryption of data using Advanced Encryption Standards. By doing so, the customer services can become quiet secured and thus can help in further enhancement of the cloud computing standards.

description: In this paper, I discuss nominal compound formation in language contact situations, the question being of how compounding in language mixing can inform both theories of mixing and theories of word-hood. This contributes to our further understanding of how word formation operates in cases of language mixing and what exactly is being mixed in mixing, i.e., words vs. units smaller than words, e.g., stems or roots. Compounding is important to answer this question, as languages differ with respect to the units they employ for compound formation, i.e., phrases vs. stems. The data to be discussed will be a mixture of materials that have already been published in the literature and newly collected data and involve several mixing varieties, namely, Greek–English, Greek– Italian, Greek–Turkish, Turkish–Norwegian, Turkish–Dutch, and French–Dutch. I then offer an analysis using the tools of syntactic models of word formation (e.g., distributed morphology), assuming a decompositional approach.

description: Wood is used in many countries as a building material for low and high level constructions because this material has an excellent physical properties and environmentally friendly. Timber walls are the structural system that designed for purpose of resisting lateral loads and transmitting these forces to the foundations in a ductile behavior. According to the European Standard, the timber shear wall consists of timber frame and sheathing board connected together by fasteners. The sheathing board can be made from different materials such as Gypsum, Plywood, Fibre board and Oriented Strand Board (OSB). This paper is mainly focusing on mechanical behavior of unclassified timber walls under lateral loading (i.e. seismic and wind loads). Unclassified wooden planks have been used to construct the wall unit with three layers for each wall in cross perpendicular planks form. In this research an experimental study of timber walls were investigated in order to determine the lateral load resistance. This work is compared to (OSB) panels. An analytical modelling for the cross plank wall has been studied to investigate the behavior of this wall under the horizontal forces. Comparison between the theoretical modelling and the experimental results have been made for cross plank walls, on the other hand, a comparison between the Eurocode 5 calculations and experimental studies has been studied for (OSB) panels. Based on the data and results obtained from the experimental tests, this study confirms that the cross plank walls have more horizontal strength and rigidity than (OSB).

description: Given the low mechanical strength, hemp concrete cannot therefore be used as a load bearing material. Hemp concrete principal weakness point is the strength but the lack of information concerning the durability performance of this material can also be an explanation for the professional’s reluctance to use bio-based concrete. This study focused on the effects of aggregate treatments, linseed oil and two different binders. The mechanicals performance such as the compressive strength at 7, 14 and 28 days were done. The results shows that with higher density treated samples get a higher strength in compression. Then hydraulic performance was tested with the capillarity test and highlighted the great decrease of sorption coefficient on treated samples. Finally the durability performance tests included the full water immersion test, and the carbonation test in accelerated chamber. Weathering results are better for treated sample compared to none-treated, which are less absorbent and less destructive for specimens. Treated samples carbonated quicker than no treated ones.
