Deliverable D5.3 "Data Collected from Case Study Sites" is the final deliverable in WP5 "Demonstration Case Studies". After Deliverable D5.1 "Description of Case Study Sites" and Deliverable D5.2 "WATERAGRI Solution Test Findings", this third deliverable in WP5 describes the main findings from testing WATERAGRI solutions at the Case Study sites. Deliverable D5.3 is linked to Milestone M12 "WATERAG

Compacted graphite iron (CGI) is an intermediate material between conventional grey cast iron and the stronger, more wear resistant ductile iron, making it a suitable material choice for different automotive applications. The improved material properties of CGI as to conventional grey cast iron makes it more difficult to machine, and finding a suitable tool material with low wear rates is a challe

AIMS/HYPOTHESIS: The T allele of transcription factor 7-like 2 gene variant, TCF7L2 rs7903146, increases the risk of type 2 diabetes by 40-50%. As TCF7L2 rs7903146 has been associated with diminished incretin effect we investigated whether interaction between dietary intake of carbohydrate, fat, protein or fibre and this variant affects the risk of type 2 diabetes. METHODS: A cohort of 24,799

Foot problems complicating diabetes are a source of major patient suffering and societal costs. Investing in evidence-based, internationally appropriate diabetic foot care guidance is likely among the most cost-effective forms of healthcare expenditure, provided it is goal-focused and properly implemented. The International Working Group on the Diabetic Foot (IWGDF) has been publishing and updatin

Jönsson D, Nebel D, Bratthall G, Nilsson B-O. The human periodontal ligament cell: a fibroblast-like cell acting as an immune cell. J Periodont Res 2010; doi: 10.1111/j.1600-0765.2010.01331.x. © 2010 John Wiley & Sons A/S Background: Periodontal ligament cells are fibroblast-like cells characterized by collagen production but also possessing some osteoblastic features. In the light of numerous

Objectives: To explore and gain insight into factors related to self-rated health (SRH) among very old people in two European countries. Methods: The study was based on Latvian (n = 301) and Swedish (n = 397) data from the baseline of the Enabling Autonomy, Participation, and Well-Being in Old Age: The Home Environment as a Determinant for Healthy Ageing Survey Study. Besides descriptive statistic

A search for the lepton flavour violating processes ep→μX and ep→τX is performed with the H1 experiment at HERA. Final states with a muon or tau and a hadronic jet are searched for in a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 66.5 pb-1 for e+p collisions and 13.7 pb-1 for e-p collisions at a centre-of-mass energy of 319 GeV. No evidence for lepton flavour violation is found. Limit

During recent years, several spectacular collapses happened in large timber structures and the question is what can be done to prevent future failures. The main hypothesis for this project has been that quality assurance, control systems and improved training may be necessary, since the unwanted events are primarily related to human errors. A survey of failures in 127 timber structures has been ma

For many years, prostate cancer early detection was a straightforward matter of recommending biopsy to all men with an elevated prostate-specific antigen (PSA). This is perhaps best evidenced by the European Randomized Trial of Screening for Prostate Cancer, where an automatic biopsy is specified in the protocol and close to 90% of men with a PSA ≥3.0 ng/mL were biopsied [1]. Starting around 2010,

Le philosophe Jean-François Lyotard fut invité en 1983 par le Centre de création industrielle (CCI) à rejoindre le projet d’une manifestation qui s’ouvrirait finalement deux ans plus tard. Intitulée « Les Immatériaux », elle allait constituer un jalon majeur dans l’histoire des expositions au xxe siècle. Appelé en tant que commissaire principal, Lyotard fit néanmoins le choix de s’acquitter de sa

X-linked agammaglobulinemia (XLA) is a hereditary immunodeficiency caused by mutations in the gene encoding Bruton tyrosine kinase (BTK). XLA patients have a decreased number of mature B cells and a lack of all immunoglobulin isotypes, resulting in susceptibility to severe bacterial infections. XLA-causing mutations are collected in a mutation database (BTKbase), which is available at http://bioin

In countries with a good standard of health care, intracranial haemorrhage (ICH) during the neonatal period affects 3.5-4.0% of all haemophilia boys, which is considerably (40-80 times) higher than expected in the normal population. ICHs are also frequent after the neonatal period, affecting 3-10% of the haemophilia population who are mainly treated on demand. The risk is higher in inhibitor patie
