Wireless power transfer (WPT) has attracted attention from academia and industry in recent years. WPT has natural electrical isolation between primary and secondary side, which ensures safe charging in an underwater environment. This breakthrough technology greatly facilitates the deep-sea power transmission. However, at the current stage the transferred power and energy efficiency level are not up to that of the WPT system in the air. The major concerns include the attenuation is seawater, extreme temperature and pressure conditions, disturbance of ocean currents, and bio-security. Three questions are answered in this paper: first, the expressions of eddy current loss and attenuation of electromagnetic wave in seawater are unified, and the influence of seawater as transmission medium on the WPT system is discussed. Second, the evolution of electromagnetic coupling structure suitable for underwater applications is studied. Third, the loss and heating effects of an underwater WPT system and the corresponding bio-fouling phenomenon are investigated. The questions above were addressed through analysis of electrical properties, coupler structures, and bio-fouling effects of the underwater WPT system. This paper will facilitate the study and research on underwater WPT applications.
As an important dimensionless parameter for the vortex formation process, the general form of the formation time defined by Dabiri (Annu. Rev. Fluid Mech., vol. 41, 2009, pp. 17–33) is refined so as to provide better normalization for various vortex generator configurations. Our proposed definition utilizes the total circulation over the entire flow domain rather than that of the forming vortex ring alone. It adopts an integral form by considering the instantaneous infinitesimal increment in the formation time so that the effect of temporally varying properties of the flow configuration can be accounted for properly. By including the effect of buoyancy, the specific form of the general formation time for the starting forced plumes with negative and positive buoyancy is derived. A theoretical prediction based on the Kelvin–Benjamin variational principle shows that the general formation time manifests the invariance of the critical time scale, i.e. the formation number, under the influence of a source–ambient density difference. It demonstrates that the general formation time, based on the circulation production over the entire flow field, could take into account the effect of various vorticity production mechanisms, such as from a flux term or in a baroclinic fluid, on the critical formation number. The proposed definition may, therefore, serve as a guideline for deriving the specific form of the formation time in other types of starting/pulsatile flows.
The microbiota–gut–brain axis, especially the microbial tryptophan (Trp) biosynthesis and metabolism pathway (MiTBamp), may play a critical role in the pathogenesis of major depressive disorder (MDD). However, studies on the MiTBamp in MDD are lacking. The aim of the present study was to analyze the gut microbiota composition and the MiTBamp in MDD patients.
We performed shotgun metagenomic sequencing of stool samples from 26 MDD patients and 29 healthy controls (HCs). In addition to the microbiota community and the MiTBamp analyses, we also built a classification based on the Random Forests (RF) and Boruta algorithm to identify the gut microbiota as biomarkers for MDD.
The Bacteroidetes abundance was strongly reduced whereas that of Actinobacteria was significantly increased in the MDD patients compared with the abundance in the HCs. Most noteworthy, the MDD patients had increased levels of Bifidobacterium, which is commonly used as a probiotic. Four Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) orthologies (KOs) (K01817, K11358, K01626, K01667) abundances in the MiTBamp were significantly lower in the MDD group. Furthermore, we found a negative correlation between the K01626 abundance and the HAMD scores in the MDD group. Finally, RF classification at the genus level can achieve an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.890.
The present findings enabled a better understanding of the changes in gut microbiota and the related Trp pathway in MDD. Alterations of the gut microbiota may have the potential as biomarkers for distinguishing MDD patients form HCs.
Existing data on folate status and hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) prognosis are scarce. We prospectively examined whether serum folate concentrations at diagnosis were associated with liver cancer-specific survival (LCSS) and overall survival (OS) among 982 patients with newly diagnosed, previously untreated HCC, who were enrolled in the Guangdong Liver Cancer Cohort (GLCC) study between September 2013 and February 2017. Serum folate concentrations were measured using chemiluminescent microparticle immunoassay. Cox proportional hazards models were performed to estimate hazard ratios (HR) and 95 % CI by sex-specific quartile of serum folate. Compared with patients in the third quartile of serum folate, patients in the lowest quartile had significantly inferior LCSS (HR = 1·48; 95 % CI 1·05, 2·09) and OS (HR = 1·43; 95 % CI 1·03, 1·99) after adjustment for non-clinical and clinical prognostic factors. The associations were not significantly modified by sex, age at diagnosis, alcohol drinking status and Barcelona Clinic Liver Cancer (BCLC) stage. However, there were statistically significant interactions on both multiplicative and additive scale between serum folate and C-reactive protein (CRP) levels or smoking status and the associations of lower serum folate with worse LCSS and OS were only evident among patients with CRP > 3·0 mg/l or current smokers. An inverse association with LCSS were also observed among patients with liver damage score ≥3. These results suggest that lower serum folate concentrations at diagnosis are independently associated with worse HCC survival, most prominently among patients with systemic inflammation and current smokers. A future trial of folate supplementation seems to be promising in HCC patients with lower folate status.
Paediatric Mycoplasma pneumoniae pneumonia (MPP) is a major cause of community-acquired pneumonia in China. Data on epidemiology of paediatric MPP from China are little known. This study retrospectively collected data from June 2006 to June 2016 in Beijing Children's Hospital, Capital Medical University of North China and aims to explore the epidemiological features of paediatric MPP and severe MPP (SMPP) in North China during the past 10 years. A total of 27 498 paediatric patients with pneumonia were enrolled. Among them, 37.5% of paediatric patients had MPP. In this area, an epidemic took place every 2–3 years at the peak, and the positive rate of MPP increased during these peak years over time. The peak age of MPP was between the ages of 6 and 10 years, accounting for 75.2%, significantly more compared with other age groups (χ2 = 1384.1, P < 0.0001). The epidemics peaked in September, October and November (χ2 = 904.9, P < 0.0001). Additionally, 13.0% of MPP paediatric patients were SMPP, but over time, the rate of SMPP increased, reaching 42.6% in 2016. The mean age of paediatric patients with SMPP (6.7 ± 3.0 years old) was younger than that of patients with non-SMPP (7.4 ± 3.2 years old) (t = 3.60, P = 0.0001). The prevalence of MPP and SMPP is common in China, especially in children from 6 to 10 years old. Paediatric patients with SMPP tend to be younger than those with non-SMPP. MPP outbreaks occur every 2–3 years in North China. September, October and November are the peak months, unlike in South China. Understanding the epidemiological characteristics of paediatric MPP can contribute to timely treatment and diagnosis, and may improve the prognosis of children with SMPP.
Nitrogen (N) inputs have been found to exert strong influence on leaf stoichiometry in natural ecosystems, but there are few studies investigating the effects of N in agroecosystems. Using a 5-yr fertilization experiment in rice fields, we examined the effects of N inputs on leaf stoichiometry of one crop, rice (Oryza sativa L.), and its four common weeds, barnyardgrass [Echinochloa crus-galli (L.) P. Beauv.], Monochoria korsakowii Regel and Mack, alligatorweed [Alternanthera philoxeroides (Mart.) Griseb.], and Japanese mazus [Mazus pumilus (Burm. f.) Steenis], and further evaluated whether and how straw return mediates these effects. We found that rice and weed leaf nitrogen:phosphorus:potassium (N:P:K) stoichiometry exhibited divergent responses to N fertilizer. Weed leaf N:P:K stoichiometry was not sensitive to low (120 kg N ha−1) and regular (240 kg N ha−1) N inputs, but rice plants were, with significantly increased leaf N concentration and N:P and N:K ratios. The opposite trend was found for high N inputs (360 kg N ha−1). Rice leaf N concentration [N] did not increase further, and N:P ratios even decreased, whereas E. crus-galli and M. korsakowii had significantly increased [N] and N-related stoichiometry. We also found that the positive effects of regular N inputs on rice leaf N:P and N:K ratios were significantly dampened by straw return, but the positive effects on N:P ratios in M. pumilus leaves were enhanced by straw return. Compared with weeds, rice leaves contained low elemental concentrations across fertilization levels at grain-filling stages. These results indicate that rice has a lower N requirement than weeds at grain-filling stages, and the N supply should be managed at a relative low level to reduce the nutrient acquisition and competitive abilities of weeds. From a stoichiometric perspective, this study highlights the importance of N management in combination with straw return in controlling weeds and increasing the nutrient-use efficiency of crops.
The aim of the study was to investigate any association between extrauterine growth restriction (EUGR) and intestinal flora of <30-week-old preterm infants. A total of 59 preterm infants were assigned to EUGR (n=23) and non-EUGR (n=36) groups. Intestinal bacteria were compared by using high-throughput sequencing of bacterial rRNA. The total abundance of bacteria in 344 genera (7568 v. 13,760; P<0.0001) and 456 species (10,032 v. 18,240; P<0.0001) was significantly decreased in the EUGR group compared with the non-EUGR group. After application of a multivariate logistic model and adjusting for potential confounding factors, as well as false-discovery rate corrections, we found four bacterial genera with higher and one bacterial genus with lower abundance in the EUGR group compared with the control group. In addition, the EUGR group showed significantly increased abundances of six species (Streptococcus parasanguinis, Bacterium RB5FF6, two Klebsiella species and Microbacterium), but decreased frequencies of three species (one Acinetobacter species, Endosymbiont_of_Sphenophorus_lev and one Enterobacter_species) compared with the non-EUGR group. Taken together, there were significant changes in the intestinal microflora of preterm infants with EUGR compared to preterm infants without EUGR.
A high-power, Joule-class, nanosecond temporally shaped multi-pass ring laser amplifier system with two neodymium-doped phosphate glass (Nd:glass) laser heads is demonstrated. The laser amplifier system consists of three parts: an all-fiber structure seeder, a diode-pumped Nd:glass regenerative amplifier and a multi-pass ring amplifier, where the thermally induced depolarization of two laser heads is studied experimentally and theoretically. Following the injection of a square pulse with the pulse energy of 0.9 mJ and pulse width of 6 ns, a 0.969-J high-energy laser pulse at 1 Hz was generated, which had the ability to change the waveform arbitrarily, based on the all-fiber structure front end. The experimental results show that the proposed laser system is promising to be adopted in the preamplifier of high-power laser facilities.
Owing to lack of a definitive correlation between carbon supports and catalytic activity of single-atom Fe-active sites, rational design and preparation of single-atom Fe catalysts have so far been elusive. Herein we designed and prepared one-dimensional core–shell nanostructured single-atom Fe catalysts, in which carbon nanofibers and carbon nanotubes with different crystallinities and electrical conductivities were used as supports to host single-atom Fe-active sites. It was found that the carbon supports with higher electrical conductivity accelerate charge transfer and enhance the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity of single-atom Fe-active sites as well as the ORR durability of the final catalyst.
The topological insulator/superconductor heterostructure is one of the most promising platforms to create and manipulate Majorana bound states. Here, we used molecular beam epitaxy to grow high-quality (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 films on Nb surfaces. To promote proper (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 film nucleation in the early growth stage, we developed a two-step growth method. Bi, Sb, and Te clusters were first evaporated at a low temperature of 180 °C, which is below the typical growth temperature and then annealed to form a crystalized passivation layer. Second, a standard (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 film was grown under the normal deposition temperature of 280 °C. We used reflection high-energy electron diffraction, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and X-ray diffraction to further characterize the (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3 film and passivation layer quality. Finally, the top Nb film was laid down by magnetron sputtering at room temperature. The hetero-Nb/epitaxial (Bi0.5Sb0.5)2Te3/Nb stacks were further fabricated into micro-Josephson junctions and showed clear Josephson currents demonstrating an excellent material quality.
We previously reported four heterozygous missense mutations of MYH7, KCNQ1, MYLK2, and TMEM70 in a single three-generation Chinese family with dual Long QT and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy phenotypes for the first time. However, the clinical course among the family members was various, and the potential myocardial dysfunction has not been investigated.
The objective of this study was to investigate the echocardiographic and electrocardiographic characteristics in a genetic positive Chinese family with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and further to explore the association between myocardial dysfunction and electric activity, and the identified mutations.
A comprehensive echocardiogram – standard two-dimensional Doppler echocardiography and three-dimensional speckle tracking echocardiography – and electrocardiogram were obtained for members in this family.
As previously reported, four missense mutations – MYH7-H1717Q, KCNQ1-R190W, MYLK2-K324E, and TMEM70-I147T – were identified in this family. The MYH7-H1717Q mutation carriers had significantly increased left ventricular mass indices, elevated E/e’ ratio, deteriorated global longitudinal stain, but enhanced global circumferential and radial strain compared with those in non-mutation patients (all p<0.05). The KCNQ1-R190W carriers showed significantly prolonged QTc intervals, and the MYLK2-K324E mutation carriers showed inverted T-waves (both p<0.05). However, the TMEM70-I147T mutation carriers had similar echocardiography and electrocardiographic data as non-mutation patients.
Three of the identified four mutations had potential pathogenic effects in this family: MYH7-H1717Q was associated with increased left ventricular thickness, elevated left ventricular filling pressure, and altered myocardial deformation; KCNQ1-R190W and MYLK2-K324E mutations were correlated with electrocardiographic abnormalities reflected in long QT phenotype and inverted T-waves, respectively.
Ga2−xFexO3 (GFO) bulks with x from 0.7 to 1.3 have been fabricated using the classic solid-state route. The structural, optical, and magnetic properties have been investigated systematically. X-ray diffraction spectra and FULLPROF profile fitting indicate that GFO bulks belong to the orthorhombic structure with the space group Pc21n. Phase separation appears at the Fe content of x = 1.3. The optical bandgap decreases almost linearly with the increase of iron content, which means that the bandgap of GFO bulks can be controlled by adjusting the Fe content in the samples. The magnetic property measurements suggest that GFO is ferromagnetic, and the magnetic properties are enhanced compared with other reported works, exhibiting the application in ferromagnetic semiconductors devices.
Dietary energy density (ED) might have influences on body composition. We therefore examined whether ED is associated with body composition among Chinese adults.
We collected dietary data through validated two-day 24 h recalls. ED, defined as the amount of energy per unit weight of food consumed, was calculated based on five methods. Multiple linear regression analyses were performed to explore the associations between ED and body composition parameters, including BMI, fat mass index (FMI), fat-free mass index (FFMI), percentage body fat (%BF) and waist circumference (WC).
Chinese adults (n 1933) in 2013.
After adjusting the covariates, all ED definitions were positively associated with BMI, FMI, FFMI, %BF and WC among women (P<0·01). In men, however, ED with foods only was positively associated with BMI, FMI, FFMI and %BF (P<0·05), but not with WC (P=0·07); we also found null associations between ED with foods and all beverages and body composition among men. Additionally, ED contributed to higher increases of body composition in women than in men (P<0·01).
The present study supports the positive association between ED and body composition among adults in Southwest China, in which beverages may play an important role.
We model conditional market beta and alpha as flexible functions of state variables identified via a formal variable-selection procedure. In the post-1963 sample, the beta of the value premium comoves strongly with unemployment, inflation, and the price–earnings ratio in a countercyclical manner. We also uncover a novel nonlinear dependence of alpha on business conditions: It falls sharply and even becomes negative during severe economic downturns but is positive and flat otherwise. The conditional capital asset pricing model (CAPM) performs better than the unconditional CAPM, but this does not fully explain the value premium. Our findings are consistent with a conditional CAPM with rare disasters.

Multiple giant ragweed (Ambrosia trifida) populations in Nebraska have been confirmed as glyphosate-resistant by University of Nebraska researchers. According to UNL weed scientists, Lowell Sandell, Avishek Datta, Stevan Knezevic and Greg Kruger, greenhouse studies have confirmed resistant populations, collected from suspected plants in Butler, Nemaha, Richardson and Washington counties last fall.
Visual weed control ratings and plant biomass reduction curve comparisons clearly showed a glyphosate resistance level in giant ragweed tests ranging from two to six fold, depending on the population and plant size.
This is the second confirmed resistant weed in the state. In 2006, marestail, or horseweed, was found to be resistant to glyphosate. While marestail has become a management challenge in many fields, new resistant weeds are emerging in Nebraska, according to the researchers.
Knezevic, UNL Extension integrated weed management specialist in Concord, says that researchers are certain resistant giant ragweed populations exist elsewhere in the state, but they did not have the time or manpower to confirm it yet.
"Producers have started to complain this year all over the state," Knezevic says.
Resistance is usually the result from repeated use of the same herbicide. Widespread adoption of glyphosate-tolerant corn and soybeans across the Midwest, coupled with over-reliance on glyphosate-based herbicides, has resulted in the evolution of resistant weed biotypes, the researchers wrote. The selection process exerted on weed populations by the rapid adoption of glyphosate-tolerant crops is unprecedented in the era of herbicide weed control.
Today, almost 20 weed species worldwide, and 12 species in the U.S., are confirmed as glyphosate-resistant. In addition to giant ragweed and marestail confirmed in Nebraska, the U.S. list includes common waterhemp, common ragweed, kochia, palmer amaranth, hairy fleabane, junglerice, goosegrass, Johnsongrass, Italian ryegrass and annual bluegrass.
According to Knezevic, glyphosate-resistant kochia and waterhemp are being studied and most likely exist in the state as well, but have not been officially confirmed.
The researchers wrote that resistant giant ragweed populations are currently confined to small pockets, but the confirmation illustrates the necessity for farmers to adopt a diversified approach to weed control. Herbicide-tolerant crops, including those based on glyphosate, can remain a useful tool in crop production, but only with proper management.
For more information about glyphosate-resistant weeds, attend one of the University of Nebraska 2012 Crop Protection Clinics scheduled across the state in January or learn more at www.cpc.unl.edu.

Remember when recycling was a fringe activity? Flori Pate does, and in recalling how the practice made its way into mainstream culture, the Food Connection executive director sees the potential for similar ingrained societal behaviors regarding food waste.
Pate started the Asheville nonprofit in early 2015 as a way to get surplus food from restaurants and caterers to people in need. Over the past 2½ years, she’s developed more partnerships with local high-quality food suppliers (e.g. Celine and Co. Catering; Deerfield Retirement Community) and linked them with various organizations and agencies (e.g., BeLoved Asheville; East Asheville Welcome Table) dedicated to feeding the hungry.
As word of Food Connection’s work spread, calls and messages have come in with questions about how to start food rescue programs in other cities. With the June acceptance of its application by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, the door is now open to scale Food Connection to new locations while keeping its name and logo intact.
From past business experience, Pate knew that protecting a business name is important. So she took steps to trademark Food Connection — two common words that capture its mission but are also used by groups providing other services. She hired the firm of McGuire, Wood & Bissette in spring 2016 to register the trademark.
“At first, it did not get accepted, and then Rebecca Crandall, our attorney, wrote this long explanation about how we’re very different from anyone else who’s using the Food Connection name — and it came through for us,” Pate says. “Now other people can’t start similar food rescue programs under the name Food Connection.”
The first step in moving beyond Asheville will be developing a playbook that chronicles how Food Connection gained traction and continues to grow. After hearing about the nonprofit or simply conducting Google searches for “food rescue,” people contact Pate wanting advice about how to follow Food Connection’s lead in their city. Pate says she’s so thrilled to hear from these like-minded individuals that she’ll talk with people for however long is necessary, relaying Food Connection’s story and answering questions. Therefore, a comprehensive guidebook that Pate could point interested parties to would be a far more efficient means of education. Food Connection’s board recently approved funding for Pate to have a part-time assistant with whom she will soon dive into the playbook’s creation.
While Pate says everything from the nonprofit’s Asheville experiences could potentially go in the guide, she highlights core founding components like the Bill Emerson Good Samaritan Food Donation Act. Signed by President Bill Clinton in 1996, the law protects businesses that fear giving food away will get them in trouble. Pate says she frequently has to “talk people off the ledge” as far as convincing them that they’re legally safe to participate in Food Connection. With the guide, she can also bolster the nonprofit’s track record by pointing to the more than 40,000 estimated fresh meals it’s rescued in Asheville — none of which has resulted in any problems for their recipients.
Relationships with local food providers who’ve come aboard will also be well-documented, as will Food Connection’s partnership with Asheville Taxi Co., whose owner Woody McKee has been pivotal in transporting meals and in March went from charging half fares to offering the service for free. Pate hopes these success stories aren’t flukes and that leaders from such targeted spots as Charlotte — which have directly contacted Pate — and fellow destination city Charleston will be able to replicate the Asheville blueprint.
The soft launch in summer 2016 of a program with Kennesaw State University outside Atlanta suggests it can. Reuniting with former UNC Asheville director of dining services Emily Williams, who forged Food Connection’s still-vibrant partnership with UNCA’s cafeteria, Pate was able to identify MUST Ministries as a recipient and help its mission of feeding 65-100 people three meals a day.
But as Food Connection expands its footprint, Pate says she and her colleagues “can’t take [their] eye off of Asheville and what we can do to feed even more people.” One notable accomplishment on the local level is Project Backpack. In the collaboration with the Asheville City Schools Homeless Education Program, 25 students at Asheville High School were provided with not only nutritious meals but book bags filled with snacks, toiletries and items ranging from movie tickets to bus passes that were donated by local businesses.
Purchasing a food truck to take meals to local communities where residents are unable to travel to shelters is also being discussed, as is the creation of an Asheville distribution hub. Thermo Fisher Scientific is already on board to donate commercial refrigerators, and procedures are being brainstormed that will allow cabdrivers all-hours access to a secure, centrally located building where they can drop off donated food for volunteers to process.

N. Faulkner is an internationally published charcoal artist and photographer based in North Texas; her charcoal and graphite work and photography has been exhibited and sold worldwide.

Myung ‘Mario’ Jung – Original Acrylic on Canvas Print, 2′ x 3′, signed by the artist.
The Artist – Born in Seoul, South Korea on September 14, 1949, Myung “Mario” Jung began his promising career as an artist in the mid 80’s. His life changed dramatically when he was paralyzed, blinded and deafened as side effects from a catastrophic, third-story, balcony fall. Not even interested in food, Mario was giving up until he had a spiritual dream that renewed his strength and his will to live. Leaving doctors, family, and friends amazed and perplexed, Mario recovered completely and has since meticulously developed his flexible artistic style. Working in a multitude of genres, Mario’s emerging popularity is heightened by his ability to create a diverse range of work from classic and realistic stills, popular among Nu Realists Collectors, to passionate impastos with richly textured details.
Mario has been a member of the Seoul Artist Association for more than 30 years and has received Grand Prize honors in the category of Western Art from the association’s Exhibition of Fine Artists. His collectors reach around the world and his personal dreams are being fulfilled one painting at a time. His work has become extremely desirable and collectible in recent years.
From my private collection: you are looking at a beautiful Murano Fish – this one is an unusual Tri-Finned Glass vase. Most Murano fish tend to be horizontal, this 1950’s one is vertical! It stands cheekily upright, its mouth open to receive your floral arrangements, it is very unusual! Fish measures 13.5 inches tall and 4 inches wide at its widest point.

You are buying an extremely rare 1970’s Halcyon Days pill box depicting an exquisite otter – painted by the famed British wildlife artist Anne Upson. The miniature painting is brass ringed and sealed under glass. It is signed by the artist.
Only 50 of these boxes were ever produced by the company. I can guarantee that none has ever been offered for sale or auction anywhere in the world in the last 30+ years. I also know for a certainty, after communicating with the company, that the Halcyon firm don’t have an example of this particular piece in their own museum in the UK.
Please do your own research to check my veracity on this subject. You will not find another anywhere. This is one of the very few examples of a Halcyon item that was made from wood.
This really is a rarity and would incredible find for any serious collector or investor in Halcyon art.
Vintage Fitz & Floyd Swan and Calla Lily soup tureen dated from 1987.
This design has been long retired by the manufacturer, and is in now short supply to the collector of these fine pieces. It is in beautiful condition with no chips as far as I can see from a careful examination. It comes complete with its ladle and matching serving platter. The swan measures 15″ long, the tray is 18 inches long – together they sit approx inches tall! Please look at the photos which show the quality of the piece.


Smart Cambridge is exploring how data, innovative technology and better connectivity can be used to transform the way people live, work and travel in the Greater Cambridge area and beyond.
Established as a workstream in August 2015, this rapidly evolving programme is harnessing emerging technologies to improve the economic strength and sustainability of the area.
Local councils, technology businesses, university researchers and partner organisations are working together to find smart ways to tackle city challenges, such as transport and air quality.
With investment from the Greater Cambridge City Partnership, the Smart Cambridge programme is being scaled up from 2017-2020, to focus on maximising the impact of transport-related work through:
- Better quantity, quality and use of data
- Embedding digital solutions and emerging technology
- Collaboration with business, community and academic sectors
The pioneering research is managed through Connecting Cambridgeshire and is overseen by a Project Board and an Advisory Group to steer the work and give technical guidance.
We have a unique opportunity to combine the brainpower and business might of Greater Cambridge to drive success – not just for our region but for the UK economy.
Digital technology underpins almost every aspect of modern living across work, travel, leisure and health. Smart cities technology builds on this, using digital connectivity and data in innovative ways to address city challenges in four key areas:
Smart Cambridge aims to ensure that Greater Cambridge is a ‘smart city region’ by providing the infrastructure needed to collect and analyse data that can be used to develop innovative solutions to some of the area’s challenges.
Smart Cambridge was established as a programme by the City Deal Board in August 2015 bringing together local businesses, researchers, councils and partners to explore how data, innovative technology and better connectivity can help to transform the way people use the city’s transport network, reduce congestion and boost the local economy.
The programme is supported by Cambridgeshire County Council's Connecting Cambridgeshire programme, which is improving the county’s digital infrastructure with better broadband, free public Wi-Fi and wider mobile coverage- bringing opportunities for more flexible working and less traffic congestion.

Smart Cambridge has published the findings of three feasibility studies looking at how ‘intelligent mobility’ - including autonomous (driverless) vehicles and ‘smart’ ticketing - could help to transform public transport across the region.
The reports have been commissioned by the Greater Cambridge Partnership (formerly City Deal) with the support of Cambridge Ahead to gather technical expertise and evidence to inform future investment decisions.
The research is part of on-going work by the GCP to find future-proof transport solutions that will reduce traffic congestion, parking and pollution problems for Cambridge and the wider region. The reports and further information are available here on the Smart Cambridge website.


Risks in 2011 include the effect of government spending cuts as well as concerns about unemployment, which has resumed its upward trend according to official figures released this week.
AA and Warc have upwardly revised their estimate of 2010 adspend from the 5.4% predicted in September to 6.6%.
This would make 2010 the strongest year for adspend growth since 2004, but would only put expenditure back to the levels of 2003-2004 following several difficult years for the industry.
The VAT increase from 15% to 17.5% scheduled for January is expected to have led advertisers to bring spend forward into the fourth quarter of this year.
Suzy Young, data editor at Warc, said: "While UK adspend has exceeded all expectations so far in 2010, it's wise to remain cautious when looking to next year.
"We expect spend to increase by just over 2% in 2011, but there are risks ahead, especially with government spending cuts and concerns about unemployment."

Rolf Harris's native Australia has moved to distance itself from the former national treasure, after his conviction and prison sentence for sex offences against underage girls.
Harris was sentenced to five years, nine months in prison on Friday for 12 counts of indecent assault, which was immediately referred to the Attorney General's Office for being "unduly lenient".
Harris, who has lived and performed in the UK for decades, has seen his star fall in Oz.
Public murals of Harris's art are being removed and he may see the Order of Australia, one of the nation's highest civic honours that he received in 2012 shortly before his arrest, rescinded.
Rolf Harris has begun his 'unduly lenient' prison sentence for indecent assault
His likeness will be removed from a Melbourne public mural that depicts "Entertainers Of The Century".
The council of the Perth suburb that Harris originally hails from has voted to remove his artwork from its chambers and withdraw his status as a freeman of the borough.
"We simply cannot tolerate the horrendous crimes for which he's been convicted," Bassendean Mayor John Gangell told the country's ABC radio.
Story continues beneath slideshow
The council had removed Harris's photo from its chambers as soon as the 84-year-old was charged. A plaque outside his birthplace was stolen before it could be removed.
Harris, who was sentenced yesterday, has begun his sentence at HMP Wandsworth in south-west London.
He was sentenced as per the guidelines that were in place when the offences took places, between 1968 and 1986, when the penalties were more lenient.
The Attorney General's Office has until August 1 to decide whether to appeal his sentence and seek a harsher one.
Rolf Harris' hometown has removed public tributes to its most famous son
At his sentencing, Harris, who was one of Britain's most beloved entertainers and an icon to children before his arrest, destroyed the "childhood innocence" of one his victims.
The judge told Harris he had use his fame to take advantage of the victims, adding: "You have shown no remorse."
Mr Justice Sweeney told Harris he "had no one else to blame" for the assaults.
Referring to one of the specific charges, he told Harris: "You were clowning around and took advantage of the fact she was somewhat star struck."
Harris clearly "fancied" one of the victims when she was just 13, the judge said.
The judge went over the detail of each allegation in court before sentencing to prison on each count. Some sentences will run concurrently and others consecutively.
It adds up to five years and nine months in jail.
Passing sentence in a packed courtroom, the judge told Harris: "For well over 50 years you have been a popular entertainer and TV personality of international standing with a speciality in children's entertainment. You are also an artist of renown.
"You have been the recipient of a number of honours and awards over the years, you have done many good and charitable works and numerous people have attested to your positive good character."
But he added: "The verdicts of the jury show that in the period from 1969 to 1986 you were also a sex offender, committing 12 indecent assaults on four victims who were variously aged between eight and 19 at the time.

The nails this spring summer 2011 were a real riot of color and this trend, at least in part (the colors are so bright but not garish) will be with us even during the coldest months of the year. Yes: fingernails “in the fall winter 2011-2012 version of” want to appear in all their glory, in other words, they want to convey warmth and color! We begin our little journey speaking of the form that we give our nails to be trendy.
It seems that the short length is definitely OUT while the top is a medium-size, and it’s a bit ’rounded and a little’ stiletto; remember, however, is that these guidelines are very general. You will then evaluate you according to your need (I strongly doubt that a woman struggling with house cleaning can go around with nail-style “weapon of war,” that is very long and sharp!) The style that suits, and possibly convenience
We talked about the great classics or color but black and red resist. We can find them in the very chic and elegant collection of Lancôme called 29 St. Honore, not forget that we can “play” with more traditional colors such as creating French manicure with details of the bezel red (or black) and the rest of the nail of a neutral color. (Little hint. Do not use red on the nails very long, you risk appearing vulgar)
And it is precisely this type of nail art that we see more and more frequently in its classical version (the one with the white bezel) to provide many different ideas: how about a golden French manicure and nail the rest black? The final effect is ensured.
It certainly could not miss that, like every season. Chanel launches the colors that quickly become real must (and whatever the fashions that are then copied by all) at the Vogue Fashion Night Out has proposed three different glaze’s shades of blue and this was not a surprise, because just this color (with yellow) was seen in one of the most warm and sunny summer days, but we’re talking about one of the noblest houses, and everything is news!
Among the cosmetic companies that had launched the trend crackle (especially one that allows for nail art nails always different), there was also pupa for this new season has plenty of features such as Magnetic Nail Art Kit. Nails always have “magnetic.”
Dior and his Collection Nail Bar has decided to please all lovers of pink in this collection. There are different shades of this color, from the most subtle and delicate to the strong perfect for young and that, at least personally I prefer also rather long nails.

I've been having problems with most dairy for about 4 months now - I finally tracked down another source of migraines. Dairy. Drat. Mozzarella seems to be okay, strangely enough. In talking with others who have dietary induced migraines, I've heard the same thing. If anyone would like to explain to me why mozzarella is fine but, say Cream Cheese (which is another fresh cheese) isn't, I'd love to hear it. Occasionally I'll give into temptation and still have some kind of cheese - because I just love cheese - but generally speaking I am trying to avoid dairy altogether.
Anywhoodles... This stuffed shells recipe is delicious enough to please even the most picky eater. It really tastes like traditional stuffed shells.
If you don't have any objections to dairy, forego the vegan angle and top the shells with a lot of really nice mozzarella. Do that and no-one will even know that the filling isn't dairy.
This is a great way to use up all that pulp left over from making nutmilk.
1 1/2 c nut-pulp (instructions below)
1 c sesame seeds
1 Tbsp lemon juice
1/2 c water
2 Tbsp parsley
1 clove garlic, crushed and minced to smithereens
1 package Tinkyada large shells
6-8 cups Chunky Tomato sauce (We like Ragu Organic or Muir Glen Chunky Tomato Sauce)
Optional- 8 oz. Whole Milk Shredded Mozzarella
1. You'll need to start this meal the night before you want to eat it, by making nut-pulp.
Start by taking 2 c almonds (I reccommend blanched almonds for the cleanest, whitest look) and placing them in a large mixing bowl. Boil 2 c water and pour over the almonds. Let soak for about 1/2 hour, or until the liquid looks milky.
Pour this mixture into your blender and blend on high speed until smooth. Wet a towel or nutmilk bag and pour the liquid into it, over a bowl) squeeze out the liquid.
Add 2 more cups COLD water to the blender and return the nutpulp to the blender. Blend for another minute or so. Strain this liquid.
Repeat the cold water step until the liquid being squeezed from the nutpulp looks like whey (milky water). Set the nutmilk aside to use for something else.
Take the nutpulp, sesame seeds, lemon juice, and water, and combine them. Let soak overnight, in the fridge.
The next day, whir this mixture in the blender until it's smooth. Add the parsley and garlic and whir again, until the parsley's chopped fine.
2. Boil the shell pasta until they're al-dente. Drain.
3. Put about 3 or 4 cups of pasta sauce in the bottom of a casserole.
4. Fill the shells with the 'ricotta' mixture and place into the sauce. Top with more sauce. (if you'd like add cheese now)
5. Tope with remaining sauce and bake at 350 degrees for about 30 minutes or until hot.
12 November 2007
1 tbsp oil
2 c finely minced green cabbage
1/2 c finely shredded carrot
1/2 c chopped water chestnuts
1/2 c bamboo shoots, minced
10 cloves garlic, crushed to a paste
2 Tbsp ginger, minced (available at the grocery or mince your own)
1/4 c minced green onion
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp dark sesame oil
1 recipe Base for stuffed Pastas
Flour, for rolling, as well as a 3 inch round cookie cutterand potsticker press (optional)
water or egg white
Heat the oil in a large pan. Add the cabbage and cook until wilted, about 9 minutes. Remove from heat and let cool.
Add the carrot, chestnuts.bamboo shoots, garlic, ginger, green onion, salt, and sesame oil and stir well to mix.
Split the pasta in half, and roll out one half at a time. Place the dough on a floured surface (I like to use a silpat) and sprinkle generously with flour. Roll out until the dough is 1/8-1/4 inch thick.
Gently fold the dough in half to mark the center crease and unfold.
Using the cookie cutter, lightly mark circles on half the dough (do not cut through the dough!
Working quickly coat the marked side of the dough with water or egg white and place a large teaspoon (up to a tablespoon) of filling in the center of each circle.
Fold the dough over and press lightly to seal around the pockets of filling.
Using the cookie cutter, cut out the circles of dough. Gather and reroll the scraps, continuing to mark and fill the dough as instructed. Set aside to dry while you make the second half of the pasta.
Alternately, cut three inch circles and use a potsticker press to fill and seal the potstickers. Use a little egg white on the edges before sealing.
Heat 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Place half of pot stickers in bottom of skillet; cook 3 minutes or until bottoms are lightly browned. Add 1/2 cup water to skillet; cover and cook 3 minutes or until liquid is absorbed. Place pot stickers on a serving platter; set aside, and keep warm.
Wipe skillet with a paper towel. Repeat procedure with remaining vegetable oil, remaining pot stickers, and remaining water.
Serve with Dipping Sauce (Below):
6 Tbsp GF Tamari Sauce
3 Tbsp rice vinegar
1 tsp hot chili oil OR sesame oil
1/2 tsp brown sugar
1 tsp minced garlic
1 tsp minced gingerCombine all ingredients and let sit for about an hour before serving.
Whatever the truth of the matter, Cincinnati Chili is a unique and fabulously delicious meal - a filling combination of sweet and savoury with a tiny 'kick' of spice.
Real 5 alarm chili is made with a copious amount of ground beef, which is cooked in the highly spiced tomato sauce, producing a thick, very fine texture. Obviously, any vegetarian recipe is going to omit the beef. I've seen plenty of recipes which skirt this difficulty by using ground soy crumbles. Since we don't do soy in almost any form (except fermented wheat free soy sauce), this presented a problem.
I decided against using my favourite eggplant/walnut 'meat' combination, because I feared the combination of the eggplant with the spices, which truly are middle-eastern (in part) would make the dish taste too much like mousakka.
I experiemented with a number of options, but in the end, I settled for making a nice 'bean-paste roux' and using it to thicken the sauce. This allowed the flavour of the spices to shine through while giving the sauce a little more 'body' and stick-to-your-ribs protein.
My family adored it, and no-one complained about the meat. If you're not opposed, feel free to stir in soy crumbles, or heck! Use Ground beef. Either way, this is the best Cincinnati chili you'll find outside of the state.
FYI: The 'alarms' in a 5 alarm chili are the following. I have it on good authority that for an authentic 5 alarm chili (or in this case 4 1/2 alarm) , one simply 'must' add the toppings in the order listed. Of course, I ignore all of this, but hey...:
2 Alarm Pasta topped with Cincinnati style chili
3 Alarm Pasta, Chili, Sharp Cheddar Cheese (and don't skimp on the cheese!)
4 Alarm Pasta, Chili, Cheese, Chopped Onions
5 Alarm Pasta, Chili, Cheese, Onions, Kidney Beans
And now, here's the recipe:
Cincinnati-Style 4 1/2 Alarm Chili
2c cooked kidney beans, divided
1 c oil
2/3 c Better Batter Gluten Free Flour
1 1/2 c minced onion
1 clove minced garlic
1 tbsp chili powder
1 tsp ground allspice
1 tsp ground cinnamon
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
1/2 tsp salt
1 1/2 tbsp cocoa
1 15oz can diced tomatoes with chilis
1 tbsp Worcestershire sauce
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
1 c water
Sharp Cheddar Cheese
In a blender, combine the 2c kidney beans and flour and blend til smooth.
In a large pot, heat the oil. Add the bean paste and cook, stirring, until the bean paste absorbs most of the liquid and begins to thicken. You'll need to scrape the bottom of the pan continuously.
Add the rest of the seasonings, ending with the water. Simmer, uncovered, for at least an hour or up to three hours.
Serve on top of pasta, with toppings, if desired.

New to the forums. 26 year old female, diabetic for 16 years. Recently switched from my tslim Pump to an Omnipod and Dexcom Cgm. I was diagnosed with gastroparesis about 2 years ago. At first it was severe, now there are good days and bad days. Since using my Cgm I’m noticing so many high spikes after meals and am curious how others determine when to give their insulin and if you do an extended bonus how do you manage it all. I’m feeling so hopeless and lost and would love some guidance. Thanks!
Hi. I’m Kim and am on the same pump and cgm and have gastroparesis. Some slowing of the digestive track and worse low parastalsis of colon. My doctors, several, in St. Louis were unable to help me and one referred me to the Mayo Clinic nearest St. Louis. Unbelievably helpful experience.
Any number of us might have suggestions but reading your post gave me a sense that you feel very alone. Know that you aren’t. I have it too! At times, most times, I redecide that this is the hardest complication I’ve had so far. And I too sometimes feel overwhelmed by the challenges and the discomfort.
My ways when I’m being a “good diabetic”… smaller meals, fewer carbs, waiting for eating til boltus is moving sugar down, chasing w glucose when food isn’t moving fast enough after blousing. But mostly trying to wear Diabetes more like a loose garmit. Doctors help me that way because they know that Diabetes with gastro is 21 dimensional tic tax toe.
I wish the best in your journey. Please know you aren’t alone.
Hi I had something like Gp last summer. I think it was the beginning of it. With stomach pain and nausea when I ate. I had to eat mostly liquids for a while and grind all my food up. It was awful. My Bg was crashing every time I ate and I was terrified to eat. Running high a lot which just makes it worse. I’d lost 15 lbs and ended up in the h with high Bg and very high ketones. I had eliminated gluten right after type 1 diagnosis but not for cross contamination. So people here told me to do that and I also eliminated all other grains.
Now I sterilize all my dishes in the dish washer, separate mine etc and I don’t eat out at all. Even a gf restaurant I found was still problematic for Bg. I’ve gained the weight back and things improved- it’s not perfect by any means but I’m not crashing every time I eat now. It’s still pretty miserable but I’ll take that over being terrified to eat and constantly crashing Bg. I can’t remember what I did about bolus then. I think just delayed bolus and increased basal as needed extended boluses are confusing and never worked for me.
I’ve also eliminated many other foods due to the d and Bg.
Hi there new to the forum im 27 and have had type 1 diabetes for 16years also diagnosed with gastropareasis in 2012.i have had the electronic pacing device fitted. Has anyone also got the pacemaker and controlling theyre diabetes with a pump? If so would you say its easier to control everything with the pump
Hi all, I commented on another post here about perhaps looking into a clinical trial for Diabetic Gastroparesis. Not everyone is into the idea of participating in clinical trials, but for those potentially interested --you can see trial site locations and if you qualify for participation by following this link StudyKIK
Worth a look! Love this forum, though.
After being on a pump for 15 years, I finally am learning, with regard to my own body, how to use the extended bolus to more closely model the type of food I am eating. Though we are taught to take insulin according to the carbs we are eating, glucose levels also depend on the fat and protein in the meal. Protein takes roughly 2 hours for its full effect on the glucose level, and fat takes about 3-4 hours to have its full impact.
Just tonight I figured out how to divide my insulin up for pizza. While that depends on how much of a pizza is cheese (and I don’t have meat in my pizzas), I am doing quite well with a 50/50 split, that is half the insulin as a bolus and the other half an extended bolus lasting 3 to 3.5 hours. One positive outcome of doing this is your insulin bolus doesn’t have as big a short-term impact and you don’t need to eat as much food with fat in it.
There is an acclaimed book called pumping insulin that can give you good insight.

More than 150 international Indian students are about to be deported from New Zealand because their India-based agents used fake financial documents to get them into the country on student visas. The students had no idea that the agents were using fake documents and feel that being deported for something they didn't even know about is unfair. The students organised a protest on Saturday, 3 September, 2016 outside National Party list MP Dr Parmjeet Parmar's office in Auckland. The students have paid tens of thousands of dollars to the educational institutes in New Zealand who worked with the recruiters in India but now they are being told that the fees cannot be refunded if they are sent back home.

DPIR releases new mango leafhopper vs planthopper video
Planthoppers, leafhoppers, flatids….. If you are confused about these mango pests then you’re not alone. Many mango growers struggle to tell the difference between the mango planthopper and the mango leafhopper. To help, the Department of Primary Industry and Resources (DPIR) entomology branch have released a new video talking through the differences and how to identify them in your orchard.
Principal entomologist Brian Thistleton discusses the differences between leafhoppers and planthoppers in the new video (left), Mango leafhopper on a flower panicle (middle), Mango planthopper (right)
As mango flowering season shifts into full gear, it is especially important for growers to monitor for pests in their orchard. Two important sap sucking insects on mango are mango leafhoppers and mango planthoppers, also known as flatids. These two groups of insects are quite distinct in appearance and the damage that they cause. Mango leafhoppers, Idioscopus nitidulus are small cicada like insects which are most important at flowering, while mango planthoppers, Colgaroides acuminate are green or whitish-green in colour, hold their wings in a tent-like shape when at rest and suck sap from the shoots, flowers and fruit.
Mango leafhoppers breed all year round but produce more eggs during the flowering and fruiting period. The nymphs also develop faster during this period. Eggs hatch in 2-3 days and the development period from nymphs to adults is 12-20 days.
Leafhoppers are sap suckers. Feeding and egg laying causes curling and distortion of new flush and damage to flowers. On closer examination, eggs can be seen inserted into the mid rib of the leaves and flower panicles. Leafhoppers excrete a sticky liquid known as honeydew which promotes the growth of black sooty mould. Sooty mould interferes with photosynthesis which reduces the vigour of the tree and as a result there is a decrease in yield. Sooty mould can also be caused by other common pests such as flatid planthoppers, pink wax scale, and mealybugs. When left untreated, which is often the case in home gardens or derelict mango orchards, numbers of leafhoppers build up rapidly to the extent where leaves and flowers are damaged and there is little fruit production.
Mango leafhopper populations generally increase from March onwards and this is the crucial time for growers to commence regular monitoring. Since mango leafhopper populations are able to build up very rapidly they should be treated as soon as they are detected. Regular monitoring will enable growers to detect early infestations and treat the affected trees rather than having to treat the whole orchard after they have spread.
The mango planthopper, Colgaroides acuminata as well as other planthoppers such as Siphanta, often referred to as “flatids” are pests of mangoes and other tree crops. Feeding damage is seen on the fruit stalk and skin of the fruit. Regular insect monitoring is important in the detection of this pest and treatment should be carried out before the pest reaches damaging levels.
Adults and nymphs suck sap from the shoots, flowers and fruit. Planthoppers are often seen on the fruit stalk or leaves and their feeding on the fruit stalk may cause sap to flow onto the fruit, causing sapburn.
Planthoppers excrete honeydew and an infestation will generally be indicated by the presence of sooty mould which grows on the honeydew. The presence of sooty mould may also be due to an infestation of mango leafhopper or other sap feeding insects.
The new video on mango leafhoppers and planthoppers forms part of the Growing Tips series, found on our YouTube channel. The Growing Tips channel is a series of short (five minutes or so) how to videos on a range of subjects from mango dry matters to date pollination.
For information on insect pests you can visit the NT insects database, or flip through our field guide to pests, beneficials, diseases and disorders or mangoes.
