- Abstract
Windfall government revenues may generate an increase in the occurrence of corruption by reducing the degree of political accountability. This paper empirically investigates the relationship between the accrual of large financial transfers from a central level of government and the incidence of corruption at the local level. To this purpose we analyze the case of EU funding to Southern Italy and exploit within municipality variation in the flow of funds between 2007 and 2014. Our estimates show a statistically significant positive effect of transfers on corruption crimes: in the absence of EU funds disbursements the yearly number of white collar crimes in the South of Italy would have been 4% lower.

- Abstract
Biomass is often referred to as a carbon–neutral energy source, and it has a role in reducing fossil fuel depletion. In addition, biomass can be converted efficiently into various forms of biofuels. The biomass conversion processes involve several thermochemical, biochemical, and hydrothermal methods for biomass treatment integration. The most common conversion routes to produce biofuels include pyrolysis and gasification processes. On the other hand, supercritical water gasification (SCWG) and hydrothermal liquefaction (HTL) are best suitable for converting biomass and waste with high moisture content. Despite promising efficiencies, SCWG and HTL processes introduce operational issues as obstacles to the industrialization of these technologies. The issues include process safety aspects due to operation conditions, plugging due to solid deposition, corrosion, pumpability of feedstock, catalyst sintering and deactivation, and high production costs. The methods to address these issues include various reactor configurations to avoid plugging and optimizing process conditions to minimize other issues. However, there are only a few studies investigating the operational issues as the main scope, and reviews are seldomly available in this regard. Therefore, further research is required to address operational problems. This study reviews the main operational problems in SCWG and HTL. The objective of this study is to enhance the industrialization of these processes by investigating the operational issues and the potential solutions, i.e., contributing to the elimination of the obstacles. A comprehensive study on the operational issues provides a holistic overview of the biomass conversion technologies and biorefinery concepts to promote the industrialization of SCWG and HTL.

- Abstract
True coronary bifurcation lesions (CBL) represent a challenging scenario for percutaneous coronary interventions (PCI), and are associated with a higher risk of target lesion failure (TLF), particularly when two stents are implanted. A hybrid strategy combining a drug-eluting stent (DES) in the main branch, and a drug-coated balloon in the side branch may improve outcomes by reducing the total stent length while maintaining an effective anti-prolipherative action. In this sub-study of the HYPER trial, 50 patients with true CBL were treated with a hybrid strategy: procedural success was 96%, one case of peri-procedural myocardial infarction and one case of TLF (in a DES-treated segment) at 1 year were reported. This study suggests that such a hybrid strategy may be a safe and effective option for true CBL PCI, and warrants additional investigations to compare outcomes with standard of care strategies.

- Abstract
Promoting the use of public transport is increasingly urgent in our society, both to reduce traffic congestion, air pollution and stress levels, and to ensure the high level of mobility demanded by citizens. The lack of continuous on-trip assistance for public transport users discourages many travellers. Thus, the main objective of this work is to design a personal digital travel companion for outdoor location and event detection based on Bluetooth Low Energy, which can be used for intelligent transport technology. After analysing the functional requirements, the proposal is implemented as a mobile application for beacon-based event detection. The system includes an algorithm aided by fuzzy logic to determine the action to be carried out by the user at all times, being able to distinguish between different possible events when more than one beacon is detected. To defend the scheme against possible attacks based on beacon forgery or user tracking, the proposal includes different forms of authentication for data sent from beacons and data sent from the mobile application. The results obtained in simulations show that the proposed system is a viable guidance solution for public transport, including energy saving as one of its main advantages.

This paper models the incentives for a self-interested government to implement 'good policies.' While good policies lead to investment and growth, they also reduce the government's ability to reward its supporters. The model predicts that resource abundance leads to poor policies and, consequently, to low investment. The implications of the model are broadly supported by existing evidence. In particular, countries that are rich in natural resources tend to have low institutional quality and poor macroeconomic and trade policies. [JEL D72, Q32], Recent literature has attributed the low rates of investment and growth observed in many African countries to a combination of poor infrastructure and bad policies and institutions, such as insufficient [...]

- Abstract
Millions of people use public transport systems daily, hence their interest for the epidemiology of respiratory infectious diseases, both from a scientific and a health control point of view. This article presents a methodology for obtaining epidemiological information on these types of diseases in the context of a public road transport system. This epidemiological information is based on an estimation of interactions with risk of infection between users of the public transport system. The methodology is novel in its aim since, to the best of our knowledge, there is no previous study in the context of epidemiology and public transport systems that addresses this challenge. The information is obtained by mining the data generated from trips made by transport users who use contactless cards as a means of payment. Data mining therefore underpins the methodology. One achievement of the methodology is that it is a comprehensive approach, since, starting from a formalisation of the problem based on epidemiological concepts and the transport activity itself, all the necessary steps to obtain the required epidemiological knowledge are described and implemented. This includes the estimation of data that are generally unknown in the context of public transport systems, but that are required to generate the desired results. The outcome is useful epidemiological data based on a complete and reliable description of all estimated potentially infectious interactions between users of the transport system. The methodology can be implemented using a variety of initial specifications: epidemiological, temporal, geographic, inter alia. Another feature of the methodology is that with the information it provides, epidemiological studies can be carried out involving a large number of people, producing large samples of interactions obtained over long periods of time, thereby making it possible to carry out comparative studies. Moreover, a real use case is described, in which the methodology is applied to a road transport system that annually moves around 20 million passengers, in a period that predates the COVID-19 pandemic. The results have made it possible to identify the group of users most exposed to infection, although they are not the largest group. Finally, it is estimated that the application of a seat allocation strategy that minimises the risk of infection reduces the risk by 50%.

19. From the streets to the web: communication and democratic participation in the case of the ‘Sardines’

Caruso, Loris and De Blasio, Emiliana
- Abstract
ABSTRACTThe Sardines “movement” emerged in the fall of 2019, giving itself mainly the purpose of countering the possible assertion of the right-wingers in the regional elections of 2020. The political discourse developed by this mobilization was characterized in an anti-populist and anti-fascist sense. The anti-populist register constituted the main mode of self-representation of Sardines. The political discourse of this mobilization is thus presented as, in some ways unprecedented, for an extra-institutional actor. The article addresses the following issues: a) the formal adequacy of the category of “social movement” to define Sardines; b) their constitution and development from November 2019 to November 2020; c) the key elements of their political discourse; d) the change in strategies and repertoires following the onset of the pandemic.

The article discusses an exhibition titled "Animal Farm" by artist João Maria Gusmão at 99 Canal in New York City. The exhibition features 16 mm films that explore the interplay between fiction and reality, science and philosophy, and the man-made world and nature. The films use cinematic techniques to create distorted and symbolic imagery, prompting viewers to contemplate the nature of visual perception. The exhibition draws inspiration from George Orwell's "Animal Farm" and offers nuanced interpretations that depend on the viewer's engagement and curiosity. [Extracted from the article]

- Abstract
Bioelectrical impedance analysis (BIA) is a valuable method for estimating fat-free mass and fat mass in patients with COPD by using specific predictive equations. In addition, raw BIA variables such as high- to low-frequency impedance ratios (IRs) and phase angle, most likely as a result of providing information on muscle quality, have been related to disease severity and mortality in patients with several diseases but never in COPD. The aim of this study was to investigate the predictive role of raw BIA variables on 2-year survival in COPD.

- Abstract
Background/Objectives:: Although loss of fat-free mass (FFM) and reduced muscle strength are highly prevalent in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), only few data are available on the relationships of handgrip strength (HGS) and respiratory muscle strength with body composition in such disease. In particular, we aimed to assess whether raw bioelectrical impedance (BIA) variables were independent predictors of muscle strength in COPD patients, possibly more significant than anthropometric variables and BIA-based estimates of FFM. Subjects/Methods:: Two hundred and thirty-seven COPD patients (161 males and 76 females) underwent respiratory, anthropometric, BIA, HGS and respiratory muscle strength (maximum inspiratory or expiratory pressure=MIP and MEP) measurements. Bioimpedance index (BI index=height square/whole-body impedance) and phase angle (PhA) were considered as raw BIA variables. FFM was estimated using three disease-specific BIA equations. Results:: In COPD patients a stronger correlation was observed between HGS and PhA compared to the ones with anthropometric variables or FFM estimates. Multiple regression analysis showed that combining BI index and PhA (plus age in male patients) accounted for 50.2% and 42.6% of the variance in HGS in male and female patients, respectively. Similarly, BI index and PhA emerged as predictors of both MIP and MEP in males, while in females MIP was related only to PhA and MEP only to BI index. Conclusions:: Raw BIA variables are independent and valuable predictors of HGS and respiratory muscle strength in COPD patients. BI index and PhA could provide useful information for evaluating body composition and better assessing muscle strength and physical fitness in COPD.

- Abstract
Visceral adipose tissue (VAT) was shown to be increased in patients with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) compared to control subjects with comparable body mass index (BMI). Our aim was to determine the relation of VAT by dual-energy x-ray absorptiometry (DEXA) in patients with COPD by disease severity, BMI, other indices of body composition and static lung volumes. 294 COPD patients admitted for rehabilitation were studied. Lung function, static lung volumes and body composition (i.e. BMI, waist circumference, fat-free mass, fat mass and fat distribution between android and gynoid fat mass) were assessed before entering pulmonary rehabilitation. VAT was estimated within the android region by using DEXA. Patients were stratified for gender, BMI (cut-off of 25 kg/m2) and GOLD stage. To assess the impact of VAT on lung volumes, patients were also stratified for VAT less and above 50thpercentile. Both male and female patients with more severe airflow limitation had significantly lower VAT values, but these differences disappeared after stratification for BMI. VAT was significantly and strongly correlated with other body composition parameters (all p < 0.001). Patients with moderate to severe airflow limitation and lower VAT had increased static lung hyperinflation and lower diffusing capacity for carbon monoxide. Nevertheless, multivariate stepwise regression models including for BMI, age, gender and forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV1) as confounders did not confirm an independent role for VAT on static lung hyperinflation and diffusion capacity. After stratification for BMI, VAT is comparable in moderate to very severe COPD patients. Furthermore, BMI and demographics, but not VAT, were independent predictors of static lung hyperinflation and diffusing capacity in COPD.

29. Dynamics of urban growth: Italy, 1951–2011

- Abstract
This paper presents some evidence on the dynamics of population across Italian locations (municipalities and LLMs) over the period 1951–2011. We find that population shifted from initially smaller to relatively larger locations. The growth rate of very large urban areas was particularly intense in the post-war period, while it became slower in the last two decades. Population dynamics in the post-war period are related to structural change away from agriculture; sectoral diversification and—to a lesser extent—human capital represent an important determinant of city growth in the last two decades.

- Abstract
Given the heterogeneity within the γ-aminobutyric acid (GABA) receptor and transporter families, a detailed insight into the pharmacology is still relatively sparse. To enable studies of the physiological roles governed by specific receptor and transporter subtypes, a series of GABA analogues comprising five-membered nitrogen- and sulfur-containing heterocycles as amine bioisosteres were synthesized and pharmacologically characterized at native and selected recombinant GABAAreceptors and GABA transporters. The dihydrothiazole and imidazoline analogues, 5–7, displayed moderate GAT activities and GABAAreceptor binding affinities in the mid-nanomolar range (Ki, 90–450 nM). Moreover, they exhibited full and equipotent agonist activity compared to GABA at GABAA-αβγ receptors but somewhat lower potency as partial agonists at the GABAA-ρ1receptor. Stereoselectivity was observed for compounds 4and 7for the GABAA-αβγ receptors but not the GABAA-ρ1receptor. This study illustrates how subtle differences in these novel amino GABA bioisosteres result in diverse pharmacological profiles in terms of selectivity and efficacy.

31. Submarine landslides offshore Yamba, NSW, Australia: an analysis of their timing, downslope motion and possible causes

- Abstract
Radiocarbon isotopic ages and sedimentological data are presented for material recovered from three adjacent translational submarine landslides (YS1, YS2 and YS3) identified on the upper-continental slope offshore Yamba, New South Wales, Australia. The age data indicate that these three co-located upper-slope slides probably occurred independently of each other and not in a single, widespread regional-scale failure event.Numerical estimates of the likely runout distances for slide blocks corresponding to the entire landslide scar volumes range between 10 and 27 km, and represent a ‘runout zone’ in which landslide blocks or debris might reasonably be expected to be located. There is no morphological evidence for large blocks or debris fields derived from two of the Yamba landslide scars within their identified runout zones (YS1 and YS2), suggesting these two failures involved complete disintegration of large slide blocks after failure or the removal of sediment from the landslide sites as grainflows or turbidites. In contrast, the third runout zone (YS3) presents good evidence of at least 12 slide blocks between 100 and 200 m in diameter, suggesting that they were shed as relatively small individual blocks or they were generated due to the dismemberment of a larger slab.

34. Extremely Energetic Rockfalls
- Author

De Blasio, Fabio Vittorio, Dattola, Giuseppe, and Crosta, Giovanni Battista
- Abstract
Extremely energetic rockfalls (EERs) are defined here as rockfalls for which a combination of both large volume and free fall height of hundreds of meters results in energy larger than about 80 GJ released in a short time. Examples include several events worldwide. In contrast to low energy rockfalls where block disintegration is limited, in EERs the impact after free fall causes immediate release of energy much like an explosion. The resulting air blast can snap trees hundreds of meters ahead of the fall area. Pulverized rock at high speed can abrade vegetation in a process of sandblasting, and particles suspended by the blast and the subsequent debris cloud may travel farther than the impact zone, blanketing vast areas. Using published accounts and new data, we introduce physically based models formulated on analogies with explosions and explosive fragmentation to describe EERs. Results indicate that a portion of the initial potential energy of the block is spent in rock disintegration at impact (typically 0.2%–18%), while other sources of energy loss (air drag, seismic, sound, and ground deformation) are negligible; consequently, more than 80% of the potential energy is converted to kinetic energy of the fragmented block (ballistic projection, shock wave, sand blast, and dust cloud). We also propose simple estimates for the flow of the dust cloud associated with an EER and its long settling time. The areal extent of the affected zone is estimated from the energy balance and an empirical power law relationship. EER (extremely energetic rockfalls) are characterized by explosive fragmentation. Information on EERs from different sources is providedPhysical models are suggested for the description of different sequences of EERs, including air blast and rock powder cloud propagationComparison with field data is provided, and a new model to compute fragmentation energy from particle size distribution is proposed

38. Global Scale Analysis of Martian Landslide Mobility and Paleoenvironmental Clues

- Abstract
The mobility of landslides on Mars is studied based on a database of 3,118 events. To establish the volume of the landslides for the whole data set based on the deposit area, a new volume‐area relationship based on a representative data set of 222 landslides is used. By plotting the H/Lratio between fall height Hand runout Lversus volume, the landslide mobility is analyzed and compared with existing empirical relationships for Martian and terrestrial landslides. By analyzing the mobility in terms of normalized residuals, that is, the relative deviation of the H/Lratio from the data set best‐fit line, mobility is found to depend on both the landslide location on Mars and the landslide typology. This allows us to identify four different types of high‐mobility (hypermobile) landslides. Three classes of high‐mobility landslides are associated respectively to meteoroid impact, the Olympus Mons aureoles, and landslides with Toreva‐block failure style, and their mobility can be explained by the peculiar flow mechanics. The fourth class includes landslides associated with isolated craters, those in the regions wetted by the putative Oceanus Borealis, and the ones at high latitudes. We suggest that the common factor behind all the hypermobile landslides of this fourth kind is the presence of ice. This is confirmed by our data showing that landslides increase in mobility with latitude. The latitudinal trend mirrors the distribution of ice as detected by radar, neutron probes, and the presence of glacial and layered ejecta morphologies. Because the overall landslide distribution supports the presence of ice‐lubricated conditions, two ice lubrication models are presented showing how ice melting within or underneath the landslides could enhance mobility. By proper analysis in terms of apparent friction residuals, we find that the mobility of landslides in Valles Marineris with the largest landslide concentration is lower than average. We explain this circumstance partly from the smaller role of ice in equatorial Valles Marineris and partly because the collapses from high slope relief imply high‐speed impact with the floor valley confinement, loss of momentum, and decrease in mobility. Environmental consequences imply that the present subsurface ice distribution may have been persistent throughout the Amazonian period. Exceptional landslide mobility requires some major phenomena and the occurrence of a series of controlling factors. These factors include local topography, rock type and properties, presence of water, ice, or gas. Because of all these controlling factors, it is still difficult to fully understand and explain such phenomena. Mars represents an incredible record of such phenomena, and most of the landslide deposits are preserved allowing for some remotely sensed but in depth analysis. Starting from a recently developed landslide inventory, the mobility of Martian landslides is studied to differentiate among the possible causes, triggering and proposing a model that includes the effects of ice melt water. This could help at understanding environmental conditions at the time of landslide occurrence, so along a very long time span of Mars life. Landslide mobility on Mars is analyzed on the basis of a robust and large data set. This is completely new with respect to other studiesVolume versus area relationships are developed and used to analyze relationship of volume with mobility, and a statistical analysis is presentedRole of geographical position, geomorphology, rock strength, and presence of ice or water are investigated, and a model was presented

- Abstract
Low birth weight is associated with increased risk of cardiovascular disease in adulthood. Intrauterine growth restriction (IUGR) hearts have fewer CMs in early postnatal life, which may impair postnatal cardiovascular function and hence, explain increased disease risk, but whether the cardiomyocyte deficit persists to adult life is unknown. We therefore studied the effects of experimentally induced placental restriction (PR) on cardiac outcomes in young adult sheep. Heart size, cardiomyocyte number, nuclearity and size were measured in control (n=5) and PR (n=5) male sheep at 1 year of age. PR lambs were 36% lighter at birth (P=0.007), had 38% faster neonatal relative growth rates (P=0.001) and had 21% lighter heart weights relative to body weight as adults (P=0.024) than control lambs. Cardiomyocyte number, nuclearity and size in the left ventricle did not differ between control and PR adults; hearts of both groups contained cardiomyocytes (CM) with between one and four nuclei. Overall, cardiomyocyte number in the adult left ventricle correlated positively with birth weight but not with adult weight. This study is the first to demonstrate that intrauterine growth directly influences the complement of CM in the adult heart. Cardiomyocyte size was not correlated with cardiomyocyte number or birth weight. Our results suggest that body weight at birth affects lifelong cardiac functional reserve. We hypothesise that decreased cardiomyocyte number of low birth weight individuals may impair their capacity to adapt to additional challenges such as obesity and ageing.

- Abstract
This paper investigates the characteristics of dynamic rock fragmentation and its influence on the postfailure fragment trajectory. A series of numerical simulations by discrete element method (DEM) were performed for a simple rock block and slope geometry, where a particle agglomerate of prismatic shape is released along a sliding plane and subsequently collides onto a flat horizontal plane at a sharp kink point. The rock block is modeled as an assembly of bonded spherical particles with fragmentation arising from bond breakages. Bond strength and stiffness were calibrated against available experimental data. We analyzed how dynamic fragmentation occurs at impact, together with the generated fragment size distributions and consequently their runout for different slope topographies. It emerges that after impact, the vertical momentum of the granular system decreases sharply to nil, while the horizontal momentum increases suddenly and then decreases. The sudden boost of horizontal momentum can effectively facilitate the transport of fragments along the bottom floor. The rock fragmentation intensity is associated with the input energy and increases quickly with the slope angle. Gentle slopes normally lead to long spreading distance and large fragments, while steep slopes lead to high momentum boosts and impact forces, with efficient rock fragmentation and fine deposits. The fragment size decreases, while the fracture stress and fragment number both increase with the impact loading strain rate, supporting the experimental observations. The fragment size distributions can be well fitted by the Weibull's distribution function. Dynamic fragmentation occurs in rapid rock mass movements due to shearing of highly stressed grain chains and extremely rapid loadingsFragmentation‐induced momentum boost is capable of enhancing the fragment impulsive velocity and thus increases its mobilityThe rock damage ratio, fracture stress, nominal size, and fragment number all increase with the applied impact loading strain rate Fragmentation occurring in rapid rock mass movements due to shearing of highly stressed grain chains and extremely rapid loading could be described as dynamic fragmentation. In this study, we present a series of simulations by discrete element method for a simple block and slope geometry, where a particle agglomerate of prismatic shape is released along a sliding plane and subsequently collides onto a flat horizontal plane at a sharp kink point. The fragmentation is intense in the lower frontal part of the rock block, whereas the upper part suffers little from impact, generating relatively large fragments. The sudden impact causes the major damage of rock mass, whereas subsequent sliding and collision lead to further rock fragmentation. At impact, the vertical velocity decreases, while the horizontal velocity increases sharply, facilitating the transport of fragments along the bottom floor. The slope angle influences rock fragmentation by controlling the momentum distribution in the sliding and colliding processes. Gentle slopes normally lead to long spreading distance and large fragments, while steep slopes lead to high momentum boosts and impact forces, with efficient rock fragmentation and finer deposits. The role of strain rate on the degree of fragmentation is studied, and numerical results support the experimental observations.

- Abstract
Hypokalemia may accelerate kidney function decline. Both hypo- and hyperkalemia can cause sudden cardiac death. However, little is known about the relationship between serum potassium and death or the occurrence of kidney failure requiring replacement therapy (KRT). We investigated this relationship in older people with chronic kidney disease (CKD) stage 4-5.

- Abstract
Sodium glucose co-transporter-2 inhibitors (SGLT2i) and glucagon-like peptide 1 receptor agonists (GLP-1RAs) reduce major adverse cardiovascular events (MACE) in people with type 2 diabetes (T2D). Despite known sex differences in diabetes-induced cardiovascular disease (CVD), pharmacological treatment recommendations are independent of sex. Our objective was to investigate possible sex differences in rates of MACE with SGLT2i vs. GLP-1RA use.

- Abstract
Acute cough is one of the most frequent symptoms prompting a visit to a health care provider, usually following a viral upper respiratory tract infection (URTI). The disproportionate use of antibiotics in children with URTIs, recently highlighted in the medical literature, could lead to associated side effects, without any beneficial effect. Although an early, albeit inappropriate, antibiotic prescription increases parental satisfaction, URTIs are predominantly viral infections and are generally self-limiting. Therefore the aim of this study was to analyze the effectiveness of antibiotics compared to symptomatic drugs (central and peripheral antitussives) on URTI-related cough in a pediatric population. This is a prospective observational study of 330 children who required pediatric consultation for acute cough. Severity, frequency and type of cough were assessed at baseline and after 6 days of treatment (antitussives n= 123, antibiotics n= 89 or combination of them n= 38) or no treatment (n= 80). The outcome of cough management after 6 days was analyzed in terms of resolution, improvement, no change or worsening of symptoms. Study assessments were performed using a standardized questionnaire administered to parents. Between children treated with antitussives or antibiotics, there was a statistically significant difference in the resolution of cough. Moreover, if considering peripheral antitussives, the resolution of cough was significantly higher with antitussives than with antibiotics (p< 0.01). There was no difference in cough resolution between children treated with antitussives and those receiving a combination of antibiotics and antitussives, either central and peripheral antitussives. Antibiotics are generally not useful nor appropriate in treating acute cough due to the common cold. Furthermore, inappropriate antibiotic use introduces the possibility of adverse side effects as well as promotion of antibiotic resistance. The findings of the present study suggest that antitussives, especially peripherally acting agents, represent an effective treatment option for acute pediatric cough caused by URTIs.

46. Inferring the high velocity of landslides in Valles Marineris on Mars from morphological analysis

Mazzanti, Paolo, De Blasio, Fabio, Di Bastiano, Camilla, and Bozzano, Francesca
- Abstract
The flow characteristics and velocities of three landslides in Valles Marineris on Mars are investigated using detailed morphological analyses of high-resolution images and dynamical calculations based on the run-up and curvature of the landslide deposits. The morphologies of the landslides are described, especially concerning those characteristics that can provide information on the dynamics and velocity. The long runout and estimated high velocities, often exceeding 100 m/s, confirm a low basal friction experienced by these landslides. Because subaqueous landslides on Earth exhibit reduced friction, we explore the scenario of sub-lacustrine failures, but find little support to this hypothesis. The environmental conditions that better explain the low friction and the presence of longitudinal furrows suggest an aerial environment with a basal soft and naturally lubricating medium on which friction diminished gradually; in this perspective, ice is the most promising candidate.

- Abstract
In the past decade, tissue microarray (TMA) technology has evolved as an innovative tool for high-throughput proteomics analysis and mainly for biomarker validation. Similarly, enormous amount of data can be obtained from the cell line macroarray (CLMA) technology, which developed from the TMA using formalin-fixed, paraffin-embedded cell pellets. Here, we applied CLMA technology in stem cell research and in particular to identify bona fide neogenerated human induced pluripotent stem cell (hiPSC) clones suitable for down the line differentiation. All hiPSC protocols generate tens of clones, which need to be tested to determine genetically stable cell lines suitable for differentiation. Screening methods generally rely on fluorescence-activated cell sorting isolation and coverslip cell growth followed by immunofluorescence; these techniques could be cumbersome. Here, we show the application of CLMA to identify neogenerated pluripotent cell colonies and neuronal differentiated cell products. We also propose the use of the automated image analyzer, TissueQuest, as a reliable tool to quickly select the best clones, based upon the level of expression of multiple pluripotent biomarkers.

49. Green hydrogen value chains in the industrial sector—Geopolitical and market implications

Eicke, Laima and De Blasio, Nicola
- Abstract
The global transition to a low-carbon economy will significantly impact existing energy value chains and transform the production to consumption lifecycle, dramatically altering interactions among stakeholders. Thanks to its versatility, green hydrogen could play a significant role in reaching a carbon-free future by 2050. Its adoption will be critical for decarbonizing industrial processes at scale, especially hard-to-abate ones such as steel and cement production. This paper maps the role countries could play in future green hydrogen industrial markets based on three criteria: resource endowment, existing industrial production, and economic relatedness. Our analysis shows how the potential for green hydrogen production and leadership in industrial applications is distributed unequally around the globe. Countries like the United States and China could emerge as frontrunners in future green hydrogen markets and lead in industrial applications, such as ammonia, methanol, and steel production. Other resource-rich countries could upgrade along value chains and compete with import-dependent industrial powers for jobs and market shares. A transition in existing value chains will also give rise to new market and geopolitical dynamics and dependencies. This paper contributes empirical evidence to the debate on the geopolitics of hydrogen and guides in defining strategic industrial policies.

- Abstract
Mannose-binding lectin (MBL) is a circulating protein that acts as a soluble pattern recognition molecule of the innate immunity. It binds to carbohydrate patterns on the surface of pathogens or of altered self-cells, with activation of the lectin pathway of the complement system. Recent evidence indicates that MBL contributes to the pathophysiology of ischemia-reperfusion injury and other conditions. Thus, MBL inhibitors offer promising therapeutic strategies, since they prevent the interaction of MBL with its target sugar arrays. We developed and characterized a novel assay based on surface plasmon resonance for in vitro screening of these compounds, which may be useful before the more expensive and time-consuming in vivo studies. The assay measures the inhibitor’s ability to interfere with the binding of murine MBL-A or MBL-C, or of human recombinant MBL, to mannose residues immobilized on the sensor chip surface. We have applied the assay to measure the IC50of synthetic glycodendrimers, two of them with neuroprotective properties in animal models of MBL-mediated injuries.
