SPIRAL2 Cryomodule Models: A Gateway to Process Control and Machine LearningFrom simple physical systems to full production lines, numerical models could be used to minimize downtime and to optimize performances. In this article, the system of interest is the SPIRAL2 heavy ion accelerator cryogenic system. This article illustrates three different applications based on a SPIRAL2 cryostat model: optimal controller synthesis, virtual sensor synthesis, and anomaly detection. The two first applications have been deployed on the system. Experimental results are used to illustrate the benefits of such applications. The third application is a case study based on data generated from a thermodynamic twin model.

Functional magnetic resonance imaging studies (fMRI) in children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) have observed functional abnormalities in fronto-striatal and temporo-parietal brain regions during tasks of inhibitory and attention control. However, hardly any modern functional imaging studies have investigated functions of interference inhibition or attention control in adult ADHD.We used fMRI combined with a variant of the Simon task that measures interference inhibition as well as attention allocation to compare 11 medication-naïve adults (26-30 yrs) with inattentive/hyperactive behaviours and 15 age-matched healthy controls. Patients were followed up from childhood ADHD, recruited from a 20-year prospective longitudinal epidemiological study. All met criteria for inattentive/hyperactive behaviours on an Adult Hyperactive Interview, but only 8 met clinical diagnostic criteria for ADHD. Correlation analyses were furthermore conducted within patients to correlat...

The mechanics behind the image: foot and ankle pathology associated with gastrocnemius contracture2007 •
Contracture of the gastrocnemius musculature is a prevalent finding in the setting of foot and ankle pathology. Tightness of the posterior musculotendinous structures in the leg limits ankle range of motion and affects an equinus posture of the foot. Increased contact pressures are generated in the plantar foot with weightbearing. The resultant overload of the ligaments and the intrinsic muscles of the midfoot and forefoot is manifest in a variety of pathologic processes. The altered mechanics contributes to, among other conditions, ankle impingement, plantar fasciitis, midfoot arthritis, posterior tibial tendon dysfunction, forefoot overload, diabetic ulceration, and Charcot arthropathy. Effective management of these conditions includes addressing the underlying gastrocnemius contracture as well as the related foot and ankle pathology. Here we describe the underlying biomechanical abnormalities and radiographic findings in these pathological conditions of the foot and ankle associa...

The MEMOWAVE project: A phase I/II clinical trial targeting treatment of mild cognitive impairment through sound stimulation during slow‐wave sleep2020 •
Mild Cognitive Impairment (MCI) is a highly prevalent syndrome especially among the elderly, but its treatment remains challenging. The MEMOWAVE project is a phase I/II randomized, double blind and cross‐over clinical trial. The first objective is to validate the safety and tolerance of a device consisting of a small microphone, also equipped with electroencephalographic electrodes, inserted in the external ear canals. The device produces pink noises during slow‐wave sleep based on real‐time EEG acquisition. The second objective is to investigate the effectiveness of this device in amplifying cerebral slow waves during sleep through sound emission. The third objective is to study the effect of this stimulation on memory consolidation, attention, executive functions, insight, creativity and mood in patients with MCI. Indeed, there is converging evidence that deep slow‐wave sleep plays a major role in these aspects. This process has already shown improvements in memory performance in ...

Sažetak: Osnovna obilježja deficita pozornosti / hiperaktivnog poremećaja u pravilu su prepreka dobroj prilagodbi, zahtjevima i očekivanjima vezanim uz učenje, ali i ponašanje učenika. Cilj je ovog istraživanja steći uvid u procjene vlastitih znanja učitelja (N=212) o učenicima s deficitom pozornosti / hiperaktivnim poremećajem te utvrditi specifične razlike u samoprocjenama s obzirom na godine radnoga iskustva (sa svrhom uvida u znanja učitelja i prepoznavanja nedostataka). U istraživanju je korišten instrument izrađen za potrebe ovoga istraživanja, a prethodno je provedeno pilot-istraživanje na manjem uzorku ispitanika. Validacija je instrumenta izvršena faktorskom analizom. U obradi podataka, uz izračunavanje osnovnih statističkih vrijednosti, korištene su diskriminacijska analiza i univarijatna analiza varijance. Rezultati pokazuju, uzimajući u obzir latentne i manifestne dimenzije razlika, da učitelji s manje od dvadeset godina radnog iskustva u većoj mjeri točno procjenjuju po...

This paper discusses the first geochemical characterization of obsidian fragments from the prehistoric site of Roccapalumba (Palermo, Italy). The Neolithic age of the prehistoric settlement was constrained by pottery and flint tools discovered in the same archaeological context. To define the provenance of the investigated obsidian artifacts major and trace element analyses have been carried out by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM–EDX) and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (LA–ICP–MS). The comparison with literature data of the Central Mediterranean source areas, based on trace elements content and their ratios allow of constraining a provenance of the Roccapalumba obsidians from the Lipari Island. The obsidian lava flow from Gabellotto Valley is the most probable source of volcanic glass at Lipari and also the most exploited in the Mediterranean area for manufactured tools. The obtained results can contribute in reconstructing the trade/exchange and procurement re...
