Projekt FOSTER Plus. Fostering the practical implementation of Open Science in Horizon 2020 and beyond

Agulhas rings provide the principal route for ocean waters to circulate from the Indo-Pacific to the Atlantic basin. Their influence on global ocean circulation is well known, but their role in plankton transport is largely unexplored. We show that, although the coarse taxonomic structure of plankton communities is continuous across the Agulhas choke point, South Atlantic plankton diversity is altered compared with Indian Ocean source populations. Modeling and in situ sampling of a young Agulhas ring indicate that strong vertical mixing drives complex nitrogen cycling, shaping community metabolism and biogeochemical signatures as the ring and associated plankton transit westward. The peculiar local environment inside Agulhas rings may provide a selective mechanism contributing to the limited dispersal of Indian Ocean plankton populations into the Atlantic.

Introducción. El objetivo del presente trabajo era valorar el protocolo protésico de la carga inmediata en el tratamiento con implantes oseointegrados del maxilar superior. La fase protésica de la carga inmediata con implantes para el tratamiento del maxilar edéntulo constituye un complejo protocolo que incluye el objetivo de minimizar los riesgos de cargas oclusales adversas que incrementen la remodelación ósea. El implantólogo debe evaluar la magnitud, la duración y el tipo de las fuerzas, especialmente las situaciones parafuncionales y el bruxismo. La prótesis fija inmediata provisional puede ser elaborada utilizando la férula quirúrgica perforada y rellenada con resina acrílica. Posteriormente, la prótesis es ajustada sobre los implantes y finalmente es evaluada la oclusión. Conclusiones. Este trabajo indica que el protocolo prostodóncico del tratamiento del maxilar superior mediante la carga inmediata de los implantes puede constituir una terapéutica exitosa.Introduction. The aim of this paper was to present prosthodontic aspects of immediate loading of implants in the treatment of maxilla. Prosthetic phase of immediate functional loading of dental implants for rehabilitation of maxilla constitute a complex protocol that include the goal of decrease the risk of occlusal overload that increase the remodelling rate of bone. The dentist must evaluate magnitude, duration and type of forces, especially parafunction and bruxism. Immediate transitional fixed prosthesis may be fabricated by the dentist with a perforated surgical template used for the implant insertion with acrylic material. After, temporary prosthesis is adjusted with the abutment and finally, oclussion is evaluated. Conclusions. This paper indicate that prosthodontic step of treatment of maxilla by immediate loading with osseointegrated implants may constitute a high successful treatment.

Τα Ασύρματα Πλεγματικά Δίκτυα αποτελούν πλέον τεχνολογία κλειδί για τα ασύρματα δίκτυα επόμενης γενιάς. Το IEEE 802.11s Standard ορίζει τον τρόπο που οι ασύρματοι κόμβοι συνδέονται μεταξύ τους ώστε να δημιουργηθεί ένα WLAN πλεγματικό δίκτυο. Επίσης, ορίζει το πρωτόκολλο δρομολόγησης και τη μετρική που χρησιμοποιεί ένα 802.11s πλεγματικό δίκτυο για τη διαδικασία της δρομολόγησης. Η κατανάλωση της ενέργειας των πλεγματικών κόμβων αποτελεί ένα σημαντικό παράγοντα στη βιωσιμότητα του πλεγματικού δικτύου. Η χρήση αλγορίθμων δρομολόγησης που λαμβάνουν υπόψη τους την ενέργεια μπορεί να παρατείνει τη διάρκεια ζωής του δικτύου. Σε αυτή την έρευνα υλοποιήθηκε μία νέα μετρική για τα 802.11s Πλεγματικά Δίκτυα που λαμβάνει υπόψη της τη διαθέσιμη ενέργεια των πλεγματικών κόμβων. Για την αξιολόγηση της προαναφερθείσας μετρικής σε σύγκριση με την πρότυπη μετρική του IEEE 802.11s Standard (airtime link metric) χρησιμοποιήθηκε ο ns3. Wireless Mesh Networks are the key technology for the next generation wireless networks. The IEEE 802.11s Standard defines the procedures that wireless nodes follow in order to interconnect and create a WLAN mesh network. It, also, defines the routing protocol and the metric that are used by a IEEE 802.11s mesh network to route data. The energy consumption of mesh nodes affects the lifetime of a mesh network. By introducing energy - aware routing algorithms, the lifetime of the network may be prolonged. In this research, a new energy - aware metric for the IEEE 802.11s mesh networks have been implemented. The ns3 simulator was used for the evaluation of the aforementioned metric and the default metric used by IEEE 802.11s Standard.

INCEFA-SCALE is a five-year project supported by the European Commission HORIZON2020 programme. It kicked off in September 2020 and is the successor to the INCEFA-PLUS programme. The objective is to continue work, advancing the ability to predict lifetimes of Nuclear Plant components when subjected to Environmental Assisted Fatigue (EAF) loading. The main issue addressed by INCEFA-SCALE is the transferability of laboratory-scale tests to real nuclear components. The project strategy will be (1) the development of comprehensive mechanistic understanding developed through detailed examination of test specimens and data mining, and (2) testing focussed on particular aspects of component-scale cyclic loading. From these data, one of the main objectives is to derive an EAF assessment procedure that can be used by assessors for the extrapolation of laboratory test data to real component geometries and conditions, for lifetime calculations. This paper will give an overview of the INCEFA-SCALE modelling plans and some illustrations on the 5 main topics that have been identified: (1) numerical analyses to support test design and interpretation, (2) data mining, (3) review of the codified methods, (4) fatigue damage modelling and noncodified approaches to better address for fatigue damage mechanisms, and (5) industrial application.
