Abstract

Business-biodiversity action is increasingly seen as critical for delivering conservation goals, but such action needs to be effective. Using detailed semi-structured interviews with leading business-biodiversity professionals and consultants we aimed to understand the actions currently taken and why, how actions are decided upon, and current challenges that hinder effective, efficient action. The scale and type of action varied by sector, driven largely by the risks (reputational, financial) of inaction. Cost-effectiveness was important to businesses, but the limited quantification of the economic consequences of biodiversity action hindered uptake. Indirect evidence sources were generally used to guide decision-making including using expert consultants, guidance, standards or certifications. Acquiring better evidence of cost-effectiveness, particularly if embedded within these indirect sources, could improve practice. A diverse set of challenges emerged that impeded business engagement with biodiversity, effective decision-making, and action implementation. We discuss opportunities to address them and thus improve the effectiveness of business-biodiversity action. • Semi-structured interviews to understand leading businesses' action and decision-making around business-biodiversity action. • Actions taken, and decision-making were highly variable across businesses. • Decisions where often guided by indirect sources of evidence e.g., guidance, experts, certifications, or policy. • Cost-effectiveness is important, but businesses face challenges when engaging with biodiversity, and deciding upon actions. • We identify opportunities improve the effectiveness and efficiency of business-biodiversity action.

ALICE, Pb, central collisions
Abstract

Inclusive transverse momentum spectra of primary charged particles in Pb–Pb collisions at √sNN = 2.76 TeV have been measured by the ALICE Collaboration at the LHC. The data are presented for central and peripheral collisions, corresponding to 0–5% and 70–80% of the hadronic Pb–Pb cross section. The measured charged particle spectra in |η| < 0.8 and 0.3 < pT < 20 GeV/c are compared to the expectation in pp collisions at the same √sNN, scaled by the number of underlying nucleon–nucleon collisions. The comparison is expressed in terms of the nuclear modification factor RAA. The result indicates only weak medium effects (RAA ≈ 0.7) in peripheral collisions. In central collisions, RAA reaches a minimum of about 0.14 at pT = 6–7 GeV/c and increases significantly at larger pT . The measured suppression of high-pT particles is stronger than that observed at lower collision energies, indicating that a very dense medium is formed in central Pb–Pb collisions at the LHC.

Abstract

Predation of vertebrates by Mallards ( Anas platyrhynchos) has rarely been documented and only in relation to fish and amphibians. Mallard foraging behavior was observed at a reservoir bordering Semenic-Caras Gorges National Park in southwest Romania. A group of Mallards comprising one adult female and 10 subadults was recorded hunting, killing and consuming hatching year passerine birds of two species, a Grey Wagtail ( Motacilla cinerea) and a Black Redstart ( Phoenicuros ochruros). These are the first records of hunting of birds by wild Mallards. This extraordinary new behavior represents substantial diet expansion for this widespread and abundant duck species.

Abstract

Swine pasivirus 1 (SPaV-1) was first detected in the feces of healthy pigs in France as a new species in family Picornaviridae. We investigated the presence, distribution, and genetic variability of this virus in 7 geographic areas with intensive pig breeding farms in eastern Romania. A total of 564 porcine specimens, including 82 fecal specimens and 482 pools of organs, were collected from healthy pigs in different stages of production from pathogen-free swine farming units. The virus was found in 6 of 7 areas investigated. Of the 564 samples analyzed, 218 were positive for SPaV-1, with the highest prevalence of the virus in organ homogenates (39% positive) followed by feces (37% positive). The highest susceptibility to infection was found in nurseries (50% positive in both the first and second months of feeding). Sequencing analysis of VP0 revealed 3 different Romanian sequences. The phylogenetic investigations suggest that the Romanian sequences cluster with other Pasivirus strains selected from the GenBank database, forming a separate clade from other Picornaviridae genera and defining the described Pasivirus.

Abstract

In the context of the increased climate change, local weather monitoring is crucial from economic and agricultural point of view, as the classical meteo prediction schemes do not apply very precisely. Therefore, the current paper presents a data mining system capable of gathering weather data from several weather stations and predicting the moisture of the soil for the next day, all in real time. The system has been tested in real-life conditions, with ten stations working in Transylvanian Plain. We have proven that the prediction accuracy is very high and the system can be used in agriculture as a mature platform in any geo-climate conditions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

An ordered nanostructured surface of biomedical implants facilitates the enhancement of their osseointegration. It has been demonstrated that TiO 2 nanostructures (nanotubes/nanopores with 15-100 nm diameter) strongly promote bone cells adhesion, proliferation and differentiation. Present paper presents our results on development of ordered nanostructured TiO 2 layer on the surface of two phase (α+β) Ti6Al4V alloy by using electrochemical anodization in H 3 PO 4 /HF electrolytes. Our results show a successful deposition of oxide layers exhibiting requested morphology for a proper biological response, regardless of initial flat surfaces manufacturing process (polishing, conventional milling, sand blasting and acid etching,) and their initial roughness (R a = 0.05-2.3 μm). On polished surfaces (R a = 0.05 μm) and milled surfaces (R a = 0.5 μm) we deposited well defined, self-ordered, nanotubular TiO 2 with internal diameter in the range of 50-100 nm. On sand blasted and acid etched surfaces (R a = 2.3 μm) we developed nanoporous structures having pores diameter of 25-65 nm. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

The automotive industry is dealing with rapid innovation and competition, which calls for either changing current products or replacing them with more modern materials. Automobile manufacturers are currently focusing on reducing the weight in order to conserve natural resources and energy. As luxury and safety equipment is added, the weight of the vehicle increases, which reduces overall performance and fuel efficiency. As a result, modern car industry leaders prioritize vehicle armoring. The use of composite materials based on plastic fibers in automobile manufacture has a number of financial and practical benefits for both the buyer and the manufacturer. Benefits are attributed to a decrease in weight, improved production standards, stylistic advancements, corrosion and abrasion resistance. Studying how various composite material types used to build directional cases behave under impact with a potentially hazardous object while moving at a speed of 100 km/h is the proposal of this article.

32. Morphology of Nanostructured TiO2 Surfaces for Biomedical Implants Developed by Electrochemical Anodization

Author

Abstract

Ti6Al4V alloy is widely used for biomedical implants, and the modification of its surface, at nanoscale level, is a method to enhance its osseointegration. We modified the Ti6Al4V surface, with an initial micro rough topography, by using electrochemical anodization in 1M H3PO4 + 0.5 wt% HF electrolyte, and anodization potential of 20 V. By using short anodization duration, 5 min, or 15 min, the oxide layer presents a nanoporous morphology, and do not cover the entire surface. At an anodization time of 30 min, our results demonstrate the synthesis of continuous, highly ordered nanotubular TiO2 layer (diameter of nanotubes: 25-90 nm, thickness of the layer: 350-450 nm), superimposed over a micro rough topography, the oxide layer exhibiting a good adherence to the substrate, coherence and no brittleness. Anodization time of 2 hours provides the results very similar with those obtained at 30 min in terms of nanotubular layer topography, but some drawbacks appear in terms of surface coverage and continuity of the layer.

33. Contact Angle Measurement on Medical Implant Titanium Based Biomaterials.

Abstract

The aim of present research was to study the effect of some surface modification processes on wettability of Ti6Al4 V surfaces for medical implants quantified by using the measurement of contact angle. The surface modification procedures of several disc samples were performed by sand blasting, acid etching, passivation, and their combinations. Sand blasting was done with 250...300 μm SiO 2 large grits. The acid etching process was performed in a dual bath of H 2 SO 4 1n and HCl 1n (1:1) at different elevated temperatures (60 °C, 80 °C, and 100 °C) using different process durations (1 h, 3 h, 6 h, 12 h, and 24 h). Passivation was done in 30% HNO 3 at room temperature. On modified surfaces we evaluated topography, by measuring roughness, and analyzing scanning electron micrographs. Contact angle was measured using static method and direct measurement of the tangent angle at the three-phase contact point on a sessile drop profile. We found that the influence of sand blasting prior to acid etching at low temperature (60 °C) on contact angle is beneficial when using long acid etching times (12 h and 24 h). Increasing the process time for acid etching leads to a decrease in contact angle which is a desired result. Increasing the temperature of acid etching bath leads to an increase in contact angle, thus decreasing the wettability. The passivation treatment leads to an increase of contact angle on sand blasted surfaces, lowering the hydrophilic properties of surfaces, and does not influence significantly the contact angle on surface without sand blasting treatment. The best preparation procedure, in terms of wettability measured by contact angle, was found to be sand blasting, followed by acid etching in above mentioned dual acid bath at 60 °C for 24 hours. In this case we measured a contact angle of 46° showing good hydrophilic properties. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Abstract

Product development requires certain activities which are based on reasoning, logic, structure, etc. and which is using large quantities of knowledge. Transiting successive well-defined stages is transforming market requirements into products or merchantable services. New product development requires the creation and evaluation of product development strategy, the organization and product concept generation, designing, testing and validation of product design, its manufacture, marketing and ensuring the product warranty and post-warranty service. The interest of an ontological approach is now well documented in the literature, especially related to clarifying, formalizing and standardizing the conceptual entities within a domain of discourse. The work presented here aims at designing a generic ontological model of the product structuring models’ domain, suitable to be easily extended to cover the many sub-domains of PD, thus facilitating the design of such application ontologies in the future, and their implementation in CAx platforms and data management systems.

Abstract

The paper discusses several aspects on product development ontology, as part of the PLM. Over 80% of problems related to manufacturing, purchasing parts, components and other materials or production planning problems are solved during the product design process. Ontological structures used in the product development process have specific features for each product and can be extended to product families. Also, a case study on the application of ontologies in the product development process is presented in this paper, with all the problems that shortened the product life cycle from its design to manufacturing, approval, reception and operation.

42. Overview on Equipment Development Ontology

Author

Petrovan, Adrian, Lobonţiu, Mircea, Lobontiu, Gabriela, and Ravai Nagy, Sándor

Abstract

Within the development of products under PLM applications, ontology holds an important role. Ontology with its instances constitutes a knowledge base. In the development applications of the product, the ontology-based approaches for machine and equipment manufacturing are very few, predominant being the approaches in the field of IT. The experience of a designer in machine manufacturing can be structured in an ontology and its instances, becoming a knowledge base, which can be reused by another designer, who has never designed such a product. On the other hand, the design duration are part of the manufacturing cycle of the product. We propose that through ontology we should be able to specify the sub-assemblies in such a way that the duration of acquisition (contracting-manufacturing-delivery) overlaps the cycle of designing and manufacturing of the product which uses them. We’re trying to demonstrate that that the manufacturing cycle can be shortened and that a family of products can be developed based on this, by developing an ontological application, which combines ontologies in the field of engineering, all these by using Protégé.

43. Generation and Activity of a Humanized Monoclonal Antibody That Selectively Neutralizes the Epidermal Growth Factor Receptor Ligands Transforming Growth Factor-αand Epiregulin

Abstract

At least seven distinct epidermal growth factor (EGF) ligands bind to and activate the EGF receptor (EGFR). This activation plays an important role in the embryo and in the maintenance of adult tissues. Importantly, pharmacologic EGFR inhibition also plays a critical role in the pathophysiology of diverse disease states, especially cancer. The roles of specific EGFR ligands are poorly defined in these disease states. Accumulating evidence suggests a role for transforming growth factor α(TGFα) in skin, lung, and kidney disease. To explore the role of Tgfa, we generated a monoclonal antibody (mAb41) that binds to and neutralizes human Tgfa with high affinity (KD= 36.5 pM). The antibody also binds human epiregulin (Ereg) (KD= 346.6 pM) and inhibits ligand induced myofibroblast cell proliferation (IC50values of 0.52 and 1.12 nM for human Tgfa and Ereg, respectively). In vivo, a single administration of the antibody to pregnant mice (30 mg/kg s.c. at day 14 after plug) or weekly administration to neonate mice (20 mg/kg s.c. for 4 weeks) phenocopy Tgfaknockout mice with curly whiskers, stunted growth, and expansion of the hypertrophic zone of growth plate cartilage. Humanization of this monoclonal antibody to a human IgG4 antibody (LY3016859) enables clinical development. Importantly, administration of the humanized antibody to cynomolgus monkeys is absent of the skin toxicity observed with current EGFR inhibitors used clinically and no other pathologies were noted, indicating that neutralization of Tgfa could provide a relatively safe profile as it advances in clinical development.

44. Broadening the Use of Product Development Ontology for One-Off Products

Author

Petrovan, Adrian, Lobonţiu, Gabriela, and Ravai Nagy, Sándor

Abstract

In the context of technical and economic challenges, the last decade stands out through a continuous preoccupation to develop integrated design models, based on ontological structures of information submission. Tracking the life cycle of a product by using PLM systems requires the analysis and integration of knowledge resulted from product development ontology creation and use.

45. Innovative Development of One-Off and Small Series Products

Author

Ravai Nagy, Sándor, Lobonțiu, Mircea, Kuric, Ivan, and Petrovan, Adrian

Abstract

In this paper, the issue of product development in unit manufacturing is addressed, which has specificity in the number of produced units. This type of production is characterized by a high volume of labor and involves a relatively long production cycle, requiring a universal endowment and a multi-skilled workforce. This type of product is specifically custom manufacturing, the product, which is not available at the time of order and requires a deadline. Based on a case study, the paper proposes a model to approach this type of production.

47. Elongational Rheology of PolymerClay Dispersions: Determination of Orientational Extent in Elongational Flow ProcessesIn memoriam Professor Cristofor I. Simionescu 1920–2007

Author

Stefanescu, Eduard A., Petrovan, Simioan, Daly, William H., and Negulescu, Ioan I.

Abstract

The purpose of the present contribution is to provide an efficient method that would help to quantify the orientational levels occurring in polymerclay dispersions subjected to elongational flow. The extent of internal orientation developed in salt containing montmorillonitepolyethylene oxide gels is investigated, combining shear and elongational rheology methods. Entropic changes indicate that the strength of the transient network present in each gel affects the orientational ability of clay particles and polymer chains. We found that an increased Hencky strain of the hyperbolic die leads to a higher variation of the calculated entropy of the material.

48. Expression of the Lystbeigemutation is atheroprotective in chow-fed apolipoprotein E-deficient mice

Author

Petrovan, Ramona J., Yuan, Yuan, and Curtiss, Linda K.

Abstract

Lystbeigemice crossed with hyperlipidemic low density lipoprotein receptor-deficient mice (BgLDLr–/–) display increased lesion area and a more stable lesion morphology. To verify that the beige phenotype is not unique to LDLr–/–mice, we examined atherosclerosis in beige, apolipoprotein E-deficient mutant mice (BgApoE–/–). Severe diet-induced hyperlipidemia in BgApoE–/–mice resulted in increased aortic sinus lesion areas compared with controls. Minimal aortic lesions were observed in both genotypes on a chow diet. Nevertheless, BgApoE–/–mice displayed drastically reduced aortic sinus lesion growth. Reconstitution with bone marrow (BM) from green fluorescent protein mice created chimeric animals that allowed for the identification of donor-derived cells within lesions. Expressing the beige mutation exclusively in BM-derived cells had no impact on plaque development, yet the beige mutation in all cells except the BM-derived cells led to significantly larger aortic sinus lesion areas. Both mRNA and secreted protein levels of monocyte chemoattractant protein 1 were altered in quiescent and phorbol ester-stimulated cultured macrophages, vascular smooth muscle cells, and aortic endothelial cells isolated from BgApoE–/–mice. Thus, expression of the beige mutation in all cell types involved in lesion development contributed to atheroprotection in chow-fed ApoE–/–mice.

50. Hencky strain shifting of convergent flow measured effective elongational viscosity

Author

Collier, John R., Petrovan, Simioan, and Patil, Parag

Abstract

The effective elongational viscosity data on a series of polyolefins as a function of the Hencky strain are shifted to a reference Hencky strain using an approach similar to that used for temperature shifting, shearing viscosity data. The basis of this shifting is the order that develops (i.e., the decrease in entropy that occurs) during forced flow through semihyperbolically convergent dies. The entropy decrease is proportional to the orientational contribution to the effective elongational viscosity. The Hencky strain shift factors are obtained from the convergent flow effective elongational rheology and the complex and capillary shear rheology. The commercial grades of polyolefins studied include polypropylene, high density polyethylene, and metallocene and conventionally catalyzed low density polyethylene. The combination of the temperature shift factors given in our companion article and the Hencky strain shift factors in this article enable the creation of master curves for the effective elongational rheology. © 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
